Japanese cooking on Crater Lake Ave

Sakura is a sushi restaurant in Medford where the fish is the focus and the dining room stays calm enough to hear the person across the table. Guests tell us the plates look as good as they taste.

The menu runs long on purpose. There are classic rolls and nigiri for people who know exactly what they want, house special rolls for anyone feeling adventurous, and teriyaki, noodles and salads for the table that isn't eating raw fish.

Dine in with us, bring the kids, or call ahead and take it home. Beer, wine and dessert are on the menu too, and the whole space is wheelchair accessible.

“They ordered salmon, eel, yellowtail and tuna. They also ordered a spicy dragon roll that had a ‘kick’. Words they used were ‘buttery’ and ‘fresh’.”
