We all had a blast. The kids especially enjoyed the onion volcano. They did a great job keeping the tickets straight even though our parties were sitting mixed together. The only con we experienced was having to ask for the ice cream that was included with our meal after the check was dropped off. This seems like something that would be brought before paying. Also, this made the other half of our party have to wait while we scarfed down the ice cream. Otherwise the entertainment was good and the food was delicious.

If you are looking for a sit-down restaurant with options ranging from Miso Soup, Edamame, Rolls of sushi, or a delicious noodle plate- hit up Sakura in Shawnee! The sushi train is a HIT, offering a variety of options. They also take requests and make exactly what you are looking for.
Their staff has served our family for many years now and we always look forward to dining with them. This is our #1 spot for sushi!

Came twice before making a review. Once as a sit down and eat visit, then the second time as a lunch visit to try the Sushi Train.
Visit 1:
Was sat down at our table quickly, table was clean but sticky, maybe suing one of those cleaners that makes it feel sticky. Gave a bit of a off feeling right off the rip. ordered an app and a roll with a party of two. Things came out quickly and generally were good. Our entree's came out and it definitely felt like we got our monies worth. as a sit down and order a meal restaurant i would say that's where they shine. The menu is large, diverse, and has a lot of traditional Japanese meals. Overall this visit was OK, not great, didn't blow me away, but didn't turn me off either.
Visit 2:
Came for lunch to hit the sushi train. Was sat very quickly, but it was never explained to me how much the different plates cost. I know generally how it works so that's ok but not preferred. The rolls i tried from the train were all good, i can honestly say nothing was bad. Compared to the first visit however this did not feel like a value. Knowing how much i spent compared to what I ate i was generally disappointed. Considering my first visit felt like good money spent this visit was about the opposite, however this could be due to me not knowing what the different plates cost. To be fair, i could have asked but i did not.
Overall. this place is alright. I would still go back again just due to proximity, but if i was thinking of going a further distance there are other places that i would go to first by comparison.

The food was good all the way up until the ribeye. The ribeye slices were super thin, which made them really chewy. Most Japanese restaurants typically serve filet mignon, so that was a surprise. Also, for some reason, soy sauce was used instead of teriyaki sauce. We didn’t complain and still paid and tipped well because we’re not the type to be rude—but it did end up ruining our group’s meal, which was disappointing since everything started off very yummy.

This was the most disappointing experience I’ve had. The kitchen in filthy! Health department should be involved. When receiving my silverware the waitress cleaned it off with her bare thumb to clean off the grime. Unacceptable. The silverware, the kitchen, and sanitation of this so called establishment is dissapointing. The waitress was not attentive nor caring.
