Sakura Bana Sushi Bar is a charming little place on the Encinitas Strip, located on South Coast Highway 101. The rolls and nigiri are authentic, and the fish is fresh. Despite its fairly intimate location, it offers a huge assortment of different dishes. The staff is friendly, and the chefs are personable; one-on-one interaction is always available at the bar. The interior is rustic, and the energy is always fun. The outdoor patio seating provides a relaxing Encinitas beach breeze and is great for families and large groups.
