Sakura Japanese Kitchen Menu

Sakura Japanese Kitchen at 325A Pitt St, Sydney, delivers a broad Japanese menu built around sushi, sashimi, bento boxes, donburi, curry, ramen, udon, tempura, hand rolls, salads, and classic entrées. Drinks range from Japanese favourites such as Ramune, Oi Ocha green tea, and Calpis to juices, soft drinks, sparkling water, and iced tea. Current bestsellers include Wagyu Beef Don, Chicken Katsu Curry, Teriyaki Chicken Bento, Grilled Salmon Sushi Set, and Chicken Katsu Don. No separate chef's recommendation menu is currently published, but these highly rated dishes make dependable signature picks.

Most substantial meals are priced around A$22–A$42, with popular mains such as Chicken Katsu Curry at A$26, Wagyu Beef Don at A$28, and Teriyaki Chicken Bento A at A$31. Delivery prices may differ from dine-in pricing, but generous portions and consistently positive feedback on freshness help support the perceived value. Recent customers particularly praise the fresh fish, vegetables, balanced flavours, and satisfying serving sizes.

Vegetarian choices include Edamame, Harumaki, salads, and vegetarian selections, while sashimi and salads provide lighter alternatives. A clearly designated gluten-free menu is not published, and the restaurant warns that dishes may contain wheat and other allergens, so dietary needs should be confirmed with staff. Mild teriyaki, rice, noodles, and katsu dishes can suit younger diners, although no dedicated children's menu is evident. Opening from about 11:30 a.m., Sakura is best suited to lunch, dinner, takeaway, casual dates, and group meals rather than breakfast.

Menu Highlights

Wagyu Beef Don – A$28
Tender Wagyu beef served over warm Japanese rice creates a rich, savoury bowl with satisfying softness and depth. It is currently the restaurant's No. 1 most-liked item, making it one of the safest signature choices.

Chicken Katsu Curry – A$26
Crisp breaded chicken meets smooth Japanese curry and steamed rice for a comforting mix of crunch, sweetness, and gentle spice. Its consistently high customer rating makes it one of Sakura's strongest bestsellers.

Grilled Salmon Sushi Set – A$29
Grilled salmon brings a lightly smoky, buttery character that pairs naturally with seasoned sushi rice. With hundreds of positive menu ratings, this set stands out for diners who want both cooked seafood and classic Japanese presentation.

Teriyaki Salmon Set – A$31
Salmon is glazed with sweet-savoury teriyaki sauce, creating a tender texture with caramelised flavour around the edges. Its strong customer approval makes it an appealing choice for a balanced lunch or dinner.

Salmon Sashimi Don – A$28
Fresh salmon sashimi sits over rice for a clean, delicate bowl where the quality of the fish takes centre stage. The combination is lighter than fried dishes while still offering a filling serving.

Karage Chicken – A$16
Japanese-style fried chicken offers a crisp exterior and juicy centre with savoury seasoning throughout. It works particularly well as a shareable starter or casual accompaniment to noodles and rice.

Harumaki – A$13
Crispy spring rolls filled with vegetables provide a light crunch and mild savoury flavour. Clearly marked vegetarian, they are an easy starter for sharing and one of the menu's popular meat-free options.
