Sakura Bistro Sushi & Sake Bar is a japanese in Oakland, California. It is listed at 388 9th St Ste 268 Fl 2, Oakland, CA 94607, which places it among the local businesses of Oakland that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as japanese restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Oakland, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. The most common schedule is 11 am–2:30 pm. It is closed on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (510) 891-1781. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, sakuraoakland.com.
