The next stop on the World Food Tour is Sakura. Sakura Sushi Pennsylvania's premier Sushi Bar and hibachi grill.

Whether it's a simple White Tuna Roll or a whimsical Triple Cake Roll, every one of Sakura's sushi selections is designed to satisfy anyone's appetite.

This restaurant is BYOB so you are encouraged to bring wine, saki, or beer to share. We will order appetizers that we will pass around the table and everyone will select their own entree. The bill will be divided equally including tax and 20% tip. The cost per person should be between $35 -$45 per person. Please bring cash $$$. Be sure to mention any allergies so that I can pass them along to the restaurant.

I will confirm that you will be attending a day or two before the event. If you can't attend, kindly change your RSVP to not going. They only have 10 tables so if you do not confirm you may be moved to not going so that someone on the wait list can go or I can correct the reservation at least 24 hours prior.

Sakura has a parking lot. I look forward to seeing you there.
