The new appetizer of spicy white fish tempura was delicious and enough for a meal. It was a moderate crowd but fast service.
Super amazing food but I sadly got sick a few hours after eating 🥺🥺 their food was amazing and super fresh just didn't like being nauseous afterwards

We eat here quite a bit when we are in the area for work & aways come hungry. The last three times we have stopped hasn’t been the best. I feel like we are always having to find someone to fill up our drinks, appetizers aren’t put in, we were very patient on a day they had one sushi chef but was told the wait would be 20 min…an hour & 15 later our food hadn’t been started and it was so quiet in there.. I will say the sushi is amazing and always has been but table service hasn’t been there. I Would still recommended for sushi (we haven’t tried hibachi yet) just hoping the service picks up a little.
Was craving their Lucky Pockets yesterday and ordered to-go. (I've only dined in once and had a good experience, personally prefer takeout)
This time I ordered Fried Rice, which came with the best soup I've ever had. Everything was still the perfect temp when I got home 15 minutes after pickup. Great prices, cute atmosphere, delicious food.

Great fun place and you can take the family. You can either sit at the restaurant style seating area or sit on the other side that prepares the food in front of you. Drinks are you too. Prices are decent also. Definitely would recommend.

went with my girlfriend for our anniversary, waiter didn’t ask us if we even wanted to sit in the habachi section. i don’t know if it was stereotyping cause we are teenagers but everytime i come with my family they ask if we want to sit over there. We sit down and have to ask to move which was such a drag for our waiter as he responded with a scoff and telling us we have to order separately (obviously.) We get moved to the other side and order pretty quickly thankfully. Our habachi chef comes out and is very bland but nice. Doesn’t do any show except the standard fire around the grill. Food was undercooked (feeling it today) and they were rushing us out at 9:00 (they close at 9:30 and we weren’t taking our time.) To top it off they handed me the check and added their own 18% gratuity? I didn’t see that stated anywhere on the menu. I try asking my server about it and was met with him picking up the check rushing to the back and ignoring me. I looked it up and they are supposed to verbally state it and it’s for groups of 6+ (once again just me and my girlfriend.) Will not be dining here again.

service needs improved. why offer hibachi if the chefs make no effort & you charge an automatic 18% tip and expect people to leave an additional tip? food all tastes the same, too much butter / oil, I generally give places the benefit of the doubt but having gone a few times nothing changed & when an attempt to address with servers was basically brushed off. we didn't push it as not to create a scene. boo do better!
Rude waiters, keep an eye on your bill as they will overcharge & automatically add 18% tip then add additional 18% when they total your bill. Food is bland & hibachi isn't what it used to be ( a show / experience) was really disappointing & no use expressing concern as they have attitudes. Boo, do better.

I had thee most horrible experience I’ve had eating out in a long time . I wanted to eat hibachi I’ve been craving this for specific place for a week so badly I took a $30 uber (my car was in the shop but I was very excited) when they got there they told me I could not do hibachi bc there is a 2 ppl min. To turn the grill on I do under stand that but the fact that the place is absolutely dead there are 1000 of servers standing around I don’t understand why you cannot just accommodate a pregnant lady the building isn’t gonna burn down . I came a long way for this and it’s like I’m being punished bc I have no one to eat with . I end up reluctantly doing the dine in option it doesn’t taste the same as the hibachi they do in front you which I figured but it wasn’t too far off when I got the meal EVERYTHING was smothered in teriyaki sauce . The waiter seen me not eating and asked if I needed anything at this point I’m almost in tears bc everything is going so wrong but im the kind of person who refuses to be rude or send food back so I ask for the menu to see if it says anything about teriyaki sauce in the dish and maybe it’s my fault . Well it didn’t . He didn’t offer to fix it . Didn’t accommodate me . Simple didn’t give a shit . The food honestly wasn’t horrible the service was trash . Every worker I talked to was rude , rushing , and dismissive. Which sucks because at one point I recommended this place to so many people now I see why on at Sunday evening no one was there .

Sakura Sushi and Hibachi gave us a night that felt a little bit like dinner and a little bit like a celebration. We didn’t venture into the sushi side this time, but the hibachi alone was more than enough to make us glad we came.
We ordered the chicken and steak hibachi with the ginger salad and clear soup to start. The salad had that bright, gingery kick that wakes up your taste buds, and the clear soup was warm, simple, and comforting in the best way.
Now let’s talk about the rice. Superb. Fluffy, flavorful, and the kind of rice that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate what’s happening on your plate. The chicken and steak were both tender, well seasoned, and cooked just right. Generous portions too. Nobody left hungry.
The cocktail menu deserves its own little standing ovation. Not only were the drinks creative, they were also very reasonably priced. I had the Geisha Girl, which was refreshing and dangerously easy to sip, and a piña colada with a side of peach schnapps that felt like a tiny tropical vacation in a glass.
Good food, great drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer at the table. Sakura made a regular night out feel special, and we’ll absolutely be back for round two.

We've had wonderful service every time we've gone. Lots of great options between drinks and food items. Sushi is typically what we go for and its always been delicious, especially their Octopus. If you are someone who gets overwhelmed easy with menu choices they have put together a handful of sushi combo items to make ordering sushi easy and not overwhelming. Staff has always been very friendly.
