10. Sakura

I have dined at Sakura on a number of occasions and have never had a bad experience there. The décor is typical Japanese, a minimalism style with simple wood and a few Japanese prints. The location is central to downtown St. Paul with parking available on the street or a number of surrounding ramps. Most of my meals at Sakura have been Sushi or Sashimi and I have never been disappointed. The fish is always fresh and there are a wide variety of choices available. I think the best feature of Sakura is the staff; they are flexible and aware of the needs of their patrons. If you enjoy a quiet dining experience your needs will be met with very little interruption, and if you enjoy interaction with your host, you will not be disappointed either. As with all business meals, each contact that I have met at Sakura is different, yet all have raved about their experience at Sakura.
