As previously reported, Sakura is now open at Gateway Fahion Mall. The Japanese-themed restaurant opened this week, replacing Chinatown Buffet, whose lease was not renewed by Gateway’s owner.
Sakura is a regional Japanese-themed restaurant with current and upcoming locations in Minot, Dickinson, Williston, and Grand Forks. According to a Bismarck Tribune article, Sakura formerly maintained a Bismarck location at 302 S 9th Street for about two years, closing in 1988.
