While technically Route 50 in Easton does not have formal sidewalks, this has not stopped the Spy from reporting that the third (that’s correct, the third) sushi restaurant has officially opened on the west side of the Ocean Gateway.
It must say a lot about the consumer demand for raw fish and rice that a town of 16,000 people, in a rural region, can still attract this kind of saturation on a small market. But in the case of Sakura, it does not hurt that a good percentage of the entire state of Maryland will pass their doors every summer.
The fact that this parade of sushi-starved beachgoers will not happen for another eight months can only be a good thing as Sakura, who, like any new restaurant, must work out some start-up hiccups in the kitchen before the masses arrive and judge.
What one can and does give Sakura great credit right off the bat is how one takes a deserted Sonic fast-food stand and turn it into such an attractive dining experience. A very nice job indeed.
Sakura Sushi 410-690-4773 8475 Ocean Gateway Easton, MD 21601

We eent there tonight for dinner and really enjoyed watching the chef work his magic, filling both a boat and a bridge with his delights. Really enjoyed the pan fried gyoza……this is the first time I have had it served this way. The meal was very enjoyable…….you msy want to try this new spot.
