? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Sakura sushi is a not-so-hidden Maadi gem. We thought we were part of the select few who discovered the understated place, but as it turns out, probably so do the 18k other people who follow the Japanese restaurant’s Facebook page. Located in Degla, and only delivering in Maadi, the small venue is cozy with only a few tables, but their menu is vast: It features everything you expect — think Miso and Tom Yam soups, spring rolls and wasabi shrimp, and salmon and spicy tuna tartar salads. While we are very intimately familiar with rolls such as Nigiri and Oshi sushi, we ventured for lesser known options like Bermuda and Ligo sushi rolls and we were not disappointed. Sakura is also a nice option to bring your vegan friends along with options like mushroom Nigiri and Hoso avocado — and you can’t go wrong with Yakisoba vegetable noodles, of course. The prices are also budget friendly if you want to break your routine, without breaking the bank.
