Tonight me and boyfriend went to have our anniversary dinner at Sakura. They were out of salad mix and proved no reduced price for items not provided, which whatever it was just salad. What got us is as we are trying to sit and enjoy our meal the cook starts an argument about money out in the dining room where everone can hear him and in front of other guests. Our serve came over and tried to explain what was happening. We told the serve that any REAL professional knows you keep that noise back of house. We told the serve it was our anniversary dinner and we didn't appreciate the disruption. It was said loud enough for the cook to hear. The server went to tell the cook to lower his voice. He said he didn't care and would cut us if we had a problem with that. Worse experience I have ever had anywhere.

AAA+++ service! I brought my 3 boys in for a treat. They set us up on our own grill and entertained the boys throughout our time there. Outstanding food and service!

Me too Town but this place was highly recommended by some locals for sushi. The place was hopping for a Saturday. Lots of local people. Sat at the sushi bar. Had some yellow tail tuna. The fish was was fresh as can be for North Dakota. The staff was busy but very nice. Sat next to two hunters who ended paying for my meal. The food was as ordered and the presentation was excellent. The flavor and taste was excellent. They had Sapporo beer. They had live entertainment on stage. It was local musician who played an accordion. He was very popular. The whole experience was fantastic. Give them a try.

Lunch at Sakura for 2 with 1 drink and 2 tempura shrimp rolls spent $39.00. Good price great customer service. You get to choose hibachi seating or table. We picked table. What you see on the tray is called chicken bento box and you can coztumize the rolls on box. Then the tempura rolls in the middle

This place was filthy, like health department concern dirty. Never ever going back. What once was a nice, clean place with good food is now basically disgusting. The menus, plates and glasses are trashed and need updating. Greasy floors, dirty walls, bathrooms smelled so bad I walked out and didn’t use. The entire place needs a major overhaul and deep clean. The food was not that enjoyable because all I could think of was how dirty the place was.

The only nice thing I have to say was the staff A+. Our Server was super nice, and very kind when we left.My spouse and I took a chance on this place when we spotted it when going to the movies yesterday. I assume the owner/manager seated us, since he was wearing a button up shirt and slacks. He made us feel very uncomfortable, he had RBF while he sat us down, than instantly went to the bar to sit and be on his cell phone the entire time we were there. My Spouse went to the restroom only to come back and tell me that it was dirty and unkempt. We ordered bento boxes. He ordered the Shrimp Teriyaki and I ordered Chicken. His shrimp was rubbery and lacked flavor. while my chicken was dry and crunchy, which was weird because it had 0 breading on it. The California rolls were on the warm side and tasted only like Avocado. The miso soup had a weird after taste.The only thing I enjoyed in the bento was the sweet potato tempura.When we went up to pay, we were asked if everything was ok. We were honest that it wasn't good. They didn't get the manager to discuss it further with us. I didn't push for it since we had sampled everything on our plates. but we were handed a flyer with discounts to let us know they delivered. I can only assume that the owner/manager was in a bad mood and didn't want to be bothered that day.

I love this place! This is my family and friends regular place for sushi for the past seven years. Out of all the visits the only thing I have to complain about is when we get takeout skip the soup. We always get it spilled or tipped over on other items. The service is very polite and courteous. Be sure to try the Godzilla Roll and my husband loves the beef soba!

Food was too good to take a picture of before it was gone. Live music was pleasant. Sushi is delicious and if you order an appetizer, don't worry the sushi usually gets to the table first. Fast.
This experience really depends on the chef. Been u.erous times and the chefs are usually good. I have had a great chef a couple of times. I enjoy the fried rice the most and the entertainment.

We made reservations for 8 adults and 1 toddler. When we got to the restaurant, I noticed my shoes were sticking to the floor and it was really warm in the restaurant. When my husband and I got to the table it looked like the dishes were thrown on the table, the menus were ripped up and the napkin dispenser had oily greasy drools all over it. Since there wasn’t a high chair at our table, my husband went to look for one, I could hear his shoes sticking to the floor as he walked. When he came back to the table he said he couldn’t find a clean chair. I was disappointed since it use to be one of our favorite places to eat. I feel it could be again if they closed for a week to do a deep cleaning. We ended up leaving and going to a different restaurant.

This place is a hidden gem in this landlocked state. Coming from North Carolina I have HIGH expectations for sushi. This place met all of them. The tuna is a great consistency. The shrimp are delicious. Their Tempura is extremely good. During our latest trip my husband and I ordered 4 rolls.The shaggy dog roll which is a staple for us.The Thor Roll which was a shrimp tempura roll, topped with avocado and beef. The beef was expertly seasoned and cooked, and it was beautifully tender.The King Roll which boasted tempura lobster, mango, avocado, and rice paper. It had a great mix of flavors and was delicious to slow down and savor.And finally the Passion Mama Roll. This Roll was absolutely delicious. It is officially my new favorite Roll. The presentation was superb, and the flavor was so unique. I dont want to spoil to much but this Roll won't leave you disappointed.To tap off the night we ordered mochi ice cream to share which as always was delicious. Served just warm enough to be soft but not melting!This place also serves some delicious drinks at a great price.All around this restaurant is on my suggestion list! I am never disappointed, whether it be food, service, or drinks.PS- Make sure you ask for the military discount!

Husband and I had a great time with our 8 and 4 year old kids! Everything was delicious. Portions are a bit too much but I know that’s not a negative for most people. Price is only a little above any other sit-down where you don’t get a show. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that they didn’t clear the used dishes, and I had to flag someone down for another drink. The entire city seems understaffed.

My shoes stuck to the floor of the bathroom.Our entrees all came out seperately 15 minutes between each person's meal.Had to ask for the final meal as it had never been brought out.Our son's hibachi steak was very tasty, but he was done eating by the time other food was brought out.We've ate at other locations and have been impressed, not sure we'll be back to dine in at this one.
