Sakura Novi is an open invitation to gather together around the table, in the aisles and around the water to enjoy the vibrant energy, flavors and traditions of various Asian cultures.
Always Something New to See, Do and Enjoy.
From the pleasing aquatic garden to the walkable spaces, bi-lingual signage and authentic architecture will make Sakura Novi an appealing place for friends and family to gather, connect and enjoy again and again. The restaurants, stores, sidewalks and pathways will be alive with energy often associated with the contemporary upmarket shopping, dining and entertainment districts found across Asia.
