Sakura is dead. Now called Asian House.

I always thought they should market it by telling people to turn at the light on Essen Park and cut through the parking lot of the Drury Inn, as you atleast you get a light.

Mark Hebert showed me that location three years in a row

He showed me that location about seven or eight years ago. Even back then, I told him it was a death trap.

Sakura dropped one of its partners. They're still selling sushi and hibachi, but there's going to be a bigger emphasis on traditional Chinese dishes. They re-open this weekend.

How in the hell do you get this information?

I'm friends with the owner, Alan.

they had good food, but man, the couple times that i went, it was absolutely dead. made me feel bad for them, but business is business i suppose...that location is totally worthless.

I really like the sushi there, but that location is turrible. The intersection of Essen and One Calais is a clusterfrick.

Chinese family?

Yeah, they're going to serve that, but I think they call it Happy Family. Plus stuff like duck, crispy chicken, pork and garlic sauce.

Isnt there a Sakura in Denham also? Not sure if its any relation.

Different owners, no connection.

Most pathetic Miso soup ever served..Sakura.

Their Chinese is better than their Japanese, but it too, is but mediocre at best.

Went three times in their first six months, then quit 'em for good.

I'd rather burn a tank of gas and two hours 'round trip, for some Cafe East or Five Happiness.
