Sakura 6

Well I have to admit, I am not a sushi person. I know, I know. It's definitely to my disadvantage, I feel like every time I go out to eat with someone it comes up within the first 3 choices, and I always seem to say to their dismay, "Sorry I don't like sushi." But now my frowny-faced friend, I can safely say I am A-O-K with our little uncooked friends from the sea.

I found out last week Sakura 6 finallllllly opened on the corner of Noble and Manhattan Ave. I've been hardcore poor for two weeks and have been living off of Ramen and such, so eating out has not been an option. But I finally got a decent paycheck and decided to chuck a portion of it to eating out. Well after a few minutes of deliberation beau and I decided Yes! Sakura is perfect. Being the non-sushi eater I am, I tend to prefer the Japanese places with hibachi and teriyaki dishes, so I was thrilled looking at their extensive yet expensive menu.

Sakura has plenty of options to choose from, including a great selection of bento boxes and a very long list of sushi rolls to choose from.

I have to say it was great that their sushi is so well done, otherwise my hatred for seaweed would have set in and my $12.95 bento would have all been for naught. But even their California rolls were a delight, creamy and crunchy with a little hint of crabby taste.

Another great thing is, at least for now, they are giving out free Saki to dinner diners. And its not just a little bit, a whole carafe of Saki. Yay! The prices are a little high for my taste, but you definitely get great quality and quantity for your money. Dinner for two came to about $30, which was a lot less than I expected it to be. The decor inside is simple, yet tasteful - they have these great lamps that look like a wooden stump with thick rope suspending them from the ceiling.
I'm delighted to have such a good place right in the heart of Greenpoint, not too far from Nassau and not too far from the upper alphabet streets.
