My friends and I ventured over to the Financial District recently to check out a sushi place we’d heard good things about: Sakurabana. 
We had a group of 6 and ventured in around 7:30-8pm. The place was decently crowded but there were tables for 2-4 available. They said it would be a few minutes wait….and about 45 minutes later…they got the bright idea to push a couple of tables together to seat us. Hmph – not a great start, but we stuck it out since we had heard the place was good and really wanted sushi at this point.
Between the 6 of us, we ordered maki rolls, sushi, sashimi, tempura, miso soup…the works. It took them a while to come over and take our order, but once they took it – the food came fast (thank goodness, since we were starving at this point). Also something to note – by this time the restaurant had cleared out a bit, so if you go with a group, maybe make it a late dinner and head over at 8:30-9pm?
Once we had food in front of us, conversation seized and everyone was focused on inhaling the deliciousness in front of us. Everything was good quality and decently priced. Rolls ranged from $4.50-$11 depending on how “fancy” they were; sushi & sashimi platters were $20-24 and came with plenty of food for one person; and the sushi a la carte menu was reasonably priced too. Overall, quality and price seemed on par.
At the end of the meal, the waitress had a lot of trouble sorting out our bill and had to come over multiple times for us to explain. So – I definitely recommend checking this place out, but if I had one suggestion, it would be to go with a group of 2-4 and bring cash so you don’t have to worry about throwing down multiple cards. Over and out,
