    We visited Sakura Bana for the first time and learnt they were the first sushi bar in Omaha, although their name was different back when they opened. Their sushi tasted absolutely delicious and the ambience was nice as well. The restaurant is a little expensive than most other sushi places in Omaha, but it does not disappoint.

    Omaha, NE. I’m Japanese and my husband and baby daughter learned to love Japanese food at Sushi Ichiban (the predecessor to Sakura Bana) 30 years ago. My daughter instantly loved their miso soup and chicken teriyaki. We moved away in 1994 but imagine our joy at finding this restaurant here 30 years later. We had the Nabeyaki udon and my husband had the same bento he always had: chicken teriyaki with tempura shrimp and California roll. What a treat.

    Quick lunch with my son. Average sushi for fair market prices. Server was polite and fast.

    Very fast and attentive service despite being very busy at dinner time. Ichiban sushi set and seafood yakisoba were delicious πŸ˜‹

    Loved this restraunt! The food was great! The sushi was great! The beer was great! It was a great atmosphere and a nice place to relax for an authentic meal. I highly reccomend this place, they have a lot of different food and sushi options and some fancy ways of displaying the dishes!

    The food is amazing here! I highly recommend the sukiyaki with udon noodles. The sushi is top quality and really delicious. Much better than other restaurants downtown.

    Following my friend's recommendation, my family and I went to visit Sakura Bana for the first time. Absolutely glad that we went. Everything from atmosphere, service, food quality to prices, we were impressed. We will definitely return as regulars. Also, the restaurant really has the Japan feel :)

    My husband and I have made this our go to spot when we come to Omaha! We even bring our friends with and they love it just as much as us! Never had a bad experience and the sushi is always SOOO amazingly delicious. If I lived in the area, I think they would know me on a first name basis πŸ˜…

    We ordered double portion Shabu Shabu and it was around $35. We were disappointed with the quality of beef. Wished they use better type of beef like Ribeye. At least that what I had from all the Shabu Shabu restaurants in Los Angeles, California. Salmon Bento was around $18. One thing I like the best was our server, she was very courteous and nice. Will give a four stars if they use better quality meat for Shabu Shabu.

    Quiet, easy to find, and the food is always top quality. It's a peaceful, delicious stop for sushi, tempura, or tasty drinks.

    The food is very good there. It's well above our expectations. The sashimi of the nigiri is fresh and the price is reasonable. I had the beef sukiyaki which is delicious as well. Although it is one person portion, I need help to finish the whole dish. My friend ordered the unagi don which she said it was good. I would recommend this place.

    Tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago. Was very impressed. The steak was very tender and they gave you a really good portion of food. Will definitely be returning.

    Stopped in for lunch with a co-worker to check it out as neither of us had been here. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Clean looking restaurant. Ordered one of the bento style lunches. Food was good and arrived quickly. Definitely recommend stopping in if you have a chance.

    Lot of interesting and traditional dishes. I'm no Japanese cuisine expert, but the tastes and presentation were nice. Service was prompt and polite. Very busy for a weekday evening.

    Came into Sakura Bana for lunch β€” we were served quickly and the food was good. I used to live in Japan and this feels like a little taste of Japan.

    We really enjoyed everything about this place. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and good quality. Atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this place and we'll definitely be back as often as we can. So far the best sushi we've had in Omaha. We ordered a sushi combo off the main menu and the sushi menu and loved everything. The presentation was beautiful. We got salads and couldn't decide on the dressing so our server brought us small dishes with each kind and both were delicious. Even the bathroom was clean and smelled nice.

    Having lived and worked in Japan, Sakura Bana is number one for me and my wife. Wonderful food, management and service. Asunuma Sama knows how to keep my wife and I happy!

    Been coming here for many years (back when it was Sushi Ichiban) and I've always loved it! Sushi is always fresh. Their sashimi deluxe is my go to.

  • 5/5 Heidi K. 1 year ago on Google
    Myself and my family have been going to Sakura Bana for years. Chef Tony is a very well respected man, and his sushi is delicious. I know Sakura Bana is known for sushi, but don't sleep in their Bento Box either!!! It is filling and delicious. This is combination D with chicken teriyaki. Will continue to keep coming back

    Great service, delicious sushi and sashimi.

  • 5/5 Kait B. 10 months ago on Google
    My and my husband’s favorite place to eat! Best sushi in Omaha by far, large menu and quality service by personable and caring staff!! A must try for all Omaha goers!

  • 5/5 Sylvia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, great food. I’ve never had a bad experience here and I’ve been a few dozen times! Amazing quality for price point, and attentive staff. Presentation is a bonus too :)

    One of our favorite places to eat, it’s a regular family outing! All positive- only negative is having TV screens everywhere. We’re just not great at blocking them out. I love the carrot ginger salad dressing & Nebraska roll (I’m allergic to seafood and do enjoy their many non seafood dishes).
