Waka Sakura

Waka Sakura brings fresh, hand-rolled sushi and hand rolls to Emeryville and the East Bay. Our counter seats six, and each roll is prepared right in front of you, so you can watch the rice and fish come together.

Our rice is seasoned with care, with the grains kept light and separate, and our seafood is chosen for clean flavor and freshness. Our focused menu leans into classic favorites like salmon, unagi, and chutoro, which guests keep coming back to.

We sit just beside Tokyo Central, making us an easy stop for a quick, satisfying bite.

We invite you to stop by for a hand roll and see why our regulars keep ordering more.
