SAKURA Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar offers an enjoyable dining experience with popular features like the hibachi show, where the chef entertains guests, including children, with impressive tricks. The food is consistently well-prepared, with generous portions and delicious flavors. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant is a great value for money and is a popular choice for both lunch and dinner. Guests often find it hard to stop eating, especially enjoying favorites like the beef Udon dish, vegetable tempura, and sushi, all of which are super delicious. The chefs put on a fun show while preparing tasty hibachi meals with a variety of vegetables including broccoli and carrots. While some diners prefer white rice with their filet, chicken & shrimp over fried rice, and find noodles and rice a bit much, many take leftovers home. The location in Ocala, FL is generally well-liked, though one guest noted the yum-yum sauce contains pureed raw onion, which is unusual but not tasted when eaten with a meal. The ginger salad dressing was praised as the best ever. One diner requested their filet mignon hibachi dinner cooked medium-rare, but it was cooked medium-well, though still pretty good. There are many vegetarian options available. Recent reviews highlight the wonderful, friendly, attentive, and professional waitresses, making the experience truly enjoyable. The atmosphere remains comfortable, and the food, drinks, and hospitality are consistently great. The owner, K1, often checks on guests to ensure the best service. However, one recent visit on 7/28/25 noted that the grill area A/C was not working well, causing discomfort from heat, which caused the group to rush through their meal. Guests hope for this issue to be fixed or at least communicated beforehand.
