Sakura– Run­corn

If you enjoy the taste of fresh, qual­ity fish when your favourite roll hits your palate, then this is the place for you.

Sakura (Run­corn) is a small, authen­tic Japan­ese restau­rant located at the cor­ner of a small busi­ness com­plex. The inte­rior was authen­tic and they made one of the best sushi we have ever had in Brisbane.

We snagged two seats at the bar directly in front of chef and asked him to feed us. The sushi chef was very orga­nized, atten­tive and effi­cient. All the ingre­di­ents he needed were boxed nicely, and his work­ing area was very clean.
We prob­a­bly got over a dozen dif­fer­ent items, from the pork katsu with rice to the tem­pura and, of course, the fish.

What We Liked?

Assorted Sashimi L ($38)

Each piece of shashimi is so fresh, you will not need to touch the soy sauce; it would only dis­tract from the flavour of the fish.

Hotate Tobiko Sushi Roll ($12)

Def­i­nitely go for the Hotate Tobiko (scal­lop) Roll while you’re there. The scal­lop was extremely fresh.

Our Thought

The sushi & sashimi is enough of a rea­son to come back. Even though the fish selec­tion is very lim­ited to your typ­i­cal fish (salmon, tuna, toro, etc.), it really is as fresh as it gets out­side of Japan. Our only dis­ap­point­ment was the sushi chef knife skills wasn’t good as we expected

A friendly reminder: Sakura Run­corn seats less than 30 at one time, so make sure you make reservations.
