It says ONE sushi roll. I don't think this is misleading. To not go back to such a fantastic sushi place is a shame. You ask the waitress/waitor, "what does this exactly mean" and you take it from there. I think you are wrong here.

Apparently y'all have a hard time reading the OP. That is not the coupon he was referring to concerning the discount. Why would someone post a different coupon and claim it as the one he is referring to?

OK, I'm not into eating sushi but I guess I'm eating crow.

Can you post or link to the coupon you had?


I'll say upfront, that my wife and I love Sakura and feel the service, food and value.....are outstanding.

Going there for lunch and then to Peachwave for dessert.... is one of our favorite things to do.

I don't understand why you're saying that you think I'm wrong? Please explain!

Do you still have the coupon? Perhaps if you take it there (next time you're in the vicinity) they can clarify a possible mistake or misunderstanding. At least you'll know for certain, regardless of whether you eat there again or not.

Good work. It is almost always like that when you investigate a complainer.

My guess would be because the OP did not show a coupon at all, so one can only assume the one posted is what he read. Like Friday said, The facts Mam, only the Facts.

I just re-read your thread titled "I'm starting to get it now" maybe you should too. Just saying.

My wife and I looked for the page with the coupon that we had and we evidently threw it away. But the FACT is that it wasn't the coupon that was posted here.
It is also a FACT that my wife called to verify and was told that for every sushi order, we could buy another sushi order of equal or less value for 1/2 price.
So if you want to talk about facts, talk about the fact that a coupon posted is not the one we had.

The sad thing is that I really liked Sakura as well. Their sushi is very good (not as good at VKI, but very good). Their prices are a bit high but no so high they would keep me away.
I was really excited to see it open at Bichara. We have gone there many times and when we saw the ad had planned on going there once a week for sushi happy hour.

Actually, I just found the ad. I was wrong. It does not say buy any sushi item and get another at 1/2 price. It doesn't have any specifics at all. The reason my wife called was to get the specifics and she was told that if we ordered any sushi item we could get another at half price. She even asked specifically, "if we buy a sushi boat we can get another at half price". The answer was yes.
So maybe it's not an issue of false advertising. It's an issue of being given wrong information by whoever answered the phone.

Good for you......for admitting you were wrong.

Any chance you could scan the coupon, or provide a link to the exact same one?

No longer being able to produce the coupon, there are no facts to be discussed, just your word that your coupon was different than the one that could be produced. IMO, you are a good person and as such your word that it was different is more than good enough for me and I'm moving on!

Note: I hadn't seen the last two posts before posting my message above. Thanks Boogie for making things right!

Like I said, it doesn't give specifics so my wife called for them and was given wrong information.
