I used to go to both Sakura's in the area, but ever since I started going to Kyoto Express, I have not returned to either one of the Sakura's. Food is presented very well, and is fresh. Service is great compared to the lousy service at Sakura's. Yet they expect a big tip for coming to your table once to take the order. This is mainly at the Forest City restaurant. Spindale is better in this regard. Atmosphere is cozy with a fireplace and the entire restaurant is super clean. And it is far cheaper than Sakura's. Same plate of Terriachi Steak, rice and carrots is 2.50 cheaper than Sakura and you get more for your money. I have found my go to for Japanese cuisine. Paula is great!

A semblance of “cleaner” food available in a calm, warm setting. No loud distractions, fresh vegetables available, and the kindest staff you could ask for.

This place is absolutely amazing, wonderful staff, fresh Sushi, clean and vibrant atmosphere. I highly recommend this place especially if you’re a sushi lover like I am. Having had sushi in Seattle, I found it very difficult to find fresh places around NC. But this place, absolutely wonderful. As for the staff, they do not rush you, they are Courteous beyond belief. I will certainly make this a regular spot.

I’ve been coming to this place for a couple years now, I have a gluten allergy and it’s got to the point where when I order my food they bring me the gluten feee soy sauce without me having to ask for it. I get hibachi steak or chicken every time and in my dozens of experiences here I’ve never been disappointed, waitstaff is amazing and it is very fairly priced
