Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

This place is terrible! From the service to the food, everything is just awful. I ordered a sweet tea, the man brought me out an UN sweet tea, and when I told him it wasn't sweet he looked at me and said "the sugar is right there". I have never been anywhere with such poor service. I ordered the hibachi chicken for lunch with fried rice, and the man didn't even tell me it would be TWO dollars extra for fried instead of white. The barely give you any chicken and it is very bland tasting. The men behind the counter stared at our table the whole time and it made us all very uncomfortable.... I will never go back.

Great lunch specials..includes soup, salad, and choice of sushi rolls. Clean, quick, and good sushi. Even though it's never crowded, lunch menu is very worth it ! Not that many places West Ashley to get sushi.

So, they passed the two visit test and both times were great! This place is a hidden gem in a strip mall. Not fancy at all, relaxed atmosphere with great sushi and wonderful hibachi dinners. This place is a great value. I highly recommend the gizmo roll and dynamite roll. They have a nice selection of sushi rolls, too.

Can't remember the last time I left sushi uneaten. Tonight, there was a bounty. There's a tacit understanding that sushi joints might put mayonnaise in their spicy tuna concoction, but never has the taste of Hellmann's been so pronounced. I'd normally not bother rating a place of this caliber that was visited blindly on a whim. But seeing as though my vote represents 20% of their total grade at the time of review, anything I can do to persuade others to look elsewhere seems like an act in the service of good.

Visiting Charleston on a short stay. Pulled up yelp and found Sakura. Only had one review, but it sounded good. I would agree. I had the sashimi platter and we split a few rolls. ALOT of Sashimi! As usual I ordered to much. the fish was fresh and task. Rolls were good. I would definately recommend

The sushi was great! It is completely empty at 1:00 on a Friday- not sure why this place isn't busier. The prices are good.

First, I have only eaten here this one time and almost did not go because of the negative Yelps on it. So, a friend visiting town was adamant that we go here to meet a group and we got there and ate in the back private low-sitting table. Very cool. We had 6 of us and tried all kinds of stuff. Started with edamami(spelling) and Hot Sake! Perfect. Then followed with Sushi. The Hoss was a recommended one on yelp page so I tried it. It was fantastic. And a heaping portion. The others had been there often and most got this other one(can't remember name) but it was great as well. Ask for the eel sauce and the white sauce. The folks with me knew that and the eel sauce sounded yucky but they were spot on. The combo really helped out everything. My wife actually got some hibachi vegetarian meal and it was fantastic as well. I am not a Sake expert but loved the inexpensive hot sake which we did several and it was only $6 per large. Waitress separated checks with no issues. I was glad to have gone with some experts to this location to really find out this is a diamond in the rough. Our guests were from Beaufort, Vegas, Australia, and local and only the Australian did not know of this place. And afterwards she was also enthusiastic about it. So, great, generous portion, affordable Sushi. This is now my number one Sushi spot in Charleston.

We just ate a Sakura for the second time and I was not very impressed. One thing I don't like about "fast food" chinese restuarants is the cheap yellow rice they try to pass for fried rice. At a nicer sit down asian restaurant I expect fried rice that is made in house. Nothing disappoints more than seeing that gross yellow rice come out on the plate at Sakura. The rest of my meal was mediocre. I ordered the Kun Pao Chicken and the boyfriend ordered the Pepper Steak. The food was good but oddly heated. It seemed as though it may have been microwaved. Some bites were piping hot like right off the stove and some bites were literally cold. It was if they microwaved the dish and didn't give it a good stir. We couldnt' remember what exactly it was we didn't like about the first time we ate here, but two mediorce times are enough for me.

Me and my husband when to Sakura for Mother's Day. And since it was mothers Day we wanted to try something new, so It was our first experience in Sakura. The service was excellent, the food was okay, I ordered it the dragon roll and a spicy tuna roll. My husband ordered it the hibachi filet mignon, the white sauce is one of the best in town, they also have duck sauce which most Japanese restaurant don't have . It is my first experience but it would not be my last .

Was going down Ashley river rd and saw Sakura and gave it a try. sat at the sushi bar and got the hibachi chicken lunch and few pieces of sushi. Food/Price are average and not out of my exception.Their atmosphere are ok but they do have a private room to fit about 6-8(including some kids). May give them another try sometime if I happen to pass by again.

We decided to go to the Sakura today because all of the restaurants nearby were so busy. We soon realized why we were the only couple in the restaurant at peak lunch hour. The restaurant was filled with a fishy odor when we walked in. I informed our server my soda was flat and I thought the CO2 on the machine was out, she reassured me that she poured it from a large plastic bottle, but didn't offer me anything instead. The fried noodles they served complimentary prior to the meal were stale, the white rice had an odd chemical-like flavor and the chicken & broccoli and hot & sour soup were average.

Delivery driver showed up talking on a cell phone and didn't even ask if I needed change. He snatched the money from my hand and handed over the food, then walked away. My general tsos tasted like it had been deep fried with shrimp-extreme seafood flavor. Will not be ordering from here again! There are SO many other better options in West Ashley!
(1)Nessa V.
Food was good but delivery driver was very rude! When he called he cursed at my husband and then tried to catch attitude at the door! Horrible! I'll never be ordering for delivery again.
(3)Aidan N.
I love this place! Great sushi with tons of options. Kind of a weird location in a strip mall type of area so it can be easily overlooked but do yourself a favor and try it out. Very reasonable prices as well.

I think this is one of West Ashley's best kept secrets for fresh sushi. They have so many choices and I can honestly say there isn't one I've tried that I didn't like. Your food is delivered fast and the wait staff is very attentive. I've never waited long for a table (like I said best kept secret) or my food. My favorite roll has to be the Ichiban: I order it on every visit along with one of their other signature rolls. I have to give a big thank you to my boyfriend who turned me on to Sakura last year. Thank you baby this is a definite keeper in my list of restaurants! Do yourself a favor and give them a try you won't regret it.

One of my favorite sushi places. They have many choices of spicy tuna. The food always has a fresh taste.

Five stars all the way! I went there last night hoping to find a good sushi place and boy did I find it! Started with the hibachi soup which wasn't my favorite but the crab wontons made up for it!! You get about 8 wontons which are worth your buck. My boyfriend and I spilt the spicy yellow tail roll which was delicious! And I got the angel roll which was amazing! Had delicious lobster in the roll and topped with loads of crab!!! Can not wait to go back!!! Still dreaming about it:)

I'm surprised I haven't written about Sakura yet. Of all the Summerville - Charleston sushi joints I've eaten at, this is my FAVORITE! It's become my go to sushi place, even after the opening of Bushido 5 minutes away. (And Bushido is good, but it is really no Sakura). I love Sakura because aside from the consistently fresh taste, they think outside of the box and have a variety of specials that you don't see elsewhere. If you love spicy tuna, you have like 15 spicy options here and several different tunas, no kidding! I would love to have cucumber wrapped rolls in the future. So I also tried Chirashi here, raw fish slices on seasoned rice. The pieces are long and thick, and I had no taste issues, but I really over estimated my love for sashimi and it was huge mouthfuls of raw fish - not for me!
(5)F J.
Bad experience all around. Service was unpleasant and we were only people there. General Tso chicken was completely unidentifiable meat with tasteless sauce, crab wontons were just fried crispies with nothing in it and hibachi with sauce was nothing to recommend. Will never go back.

Delicious sushi...try the Hoss roll! Selection of wine and sake not great, but the sushi is outstanding!

I decided to try Sakura (West Ashley location) after reading mixed reviews. I looked at the menu on their website, and decided on the Spicy Maki combo, a combination of 3 sushi rolls, soup and salad, priced at around $12. I called a pick up order, and went in to pick it up after 10 minutes. When I enterd the restaurant, I was first struck by the odd and unpleasant smell of paint and eggs. I went to the counter to pick my food up, and no soup nor salad was included. I had to pay extra for an order of hot and sour soup, and my grand total was $18 and change. When I got home, I tried the sushi, a spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon, and some sort of imitation crab meat roll. All were mediocre at best, and on the verge of being not fresh. The hot and sour soup (one of my favorite Asian foods) was absolutely terrible. It had a thick, viscous texture, more like a slime than a soup. It smelled like the restaurant did, which was so unappealing that I took two bites, and immediately threw it in the trash. I shan't return. Ever!
