My husband and I dined at Sakura House for the first time. Many of the dishes we had were delicious and interesting. The restaurant is on the small side, located in a strip mall in Marina del Rey. They have tables as well as counter seating where you can order skewers. The menu consists mainly of skewers and Japanese tapas. They do not serve sushi but do serve grilled rice balls which we did not order. Our favorites were the chicken meatballs (4 small meatballs on a skewer), quail egg maki (4 quail eggs wrapped in bacon on skewers), albacore sashimi with fried onion and a ponzu sauce (sashimi melted in your mouth), crispy spicy garlic albacore (this was fried and enjoyed by my husband), and the crispy chicken addiction. The cripsy chicken addiction was our favorite - small nuggets of chicken, breaded, fried, and dipped in a sauce. The wine is overpriced - $10 for a glass of house chardonnay. The food was a little salty for my palate. Overall, it was an interesting dining experience. Dinner for the two of us with one glass of wine was about $75 before tip.
