S@kura

The stretch of Fullerton just west of Western Ave. hasn’t always been the hottest spot for restaurants (is it West Bucktown or Logan Square??). But with the newly opened K(new) setting up shop, and Papa Ray;s serving up those monster slices, it doesn’t seem to weird that a new Japanese place moved in. It’s called S@kura, and yes, it’s spelled with a “@.” It takes the place of a shuttered old sandwich shop. The menu is heavy with sushi, with a few entrées tacked on at the end. Seems to be more of a delivery place than a dining experience, but still nice to have another option in the area. Check out the full menu, along with way more “@” symbols than you usually encounter in a single day.
