I found this place recently and I've been really happy with my meals here. Their is a good variety of dishes, but so far I'veonly gotten the hibachi. The hibachi is really good I would recommend it. And if you need gluten free, they can make almost all dishes gluten free on request (some substitute maybe necessary). I found the waitress very knowledgeable and helpful.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available for almost the entire menu.

This is our Go-To sushi spot! Coming from NYC, it has been hard to find a decent sushi spot that is consistently good... this place fits that bill. They have extremely fresh, delicious rolls and yummy appetizers. I personally don't care for their Hibachi (they cook it in the back), but my husband and daughter love their teriyaki dishes. The kani salad and Red Dragon rolls are our absolute favorite menu items. The atmosphere is nothing amazing, which I like in a local spot, but it is clean and quiet, so if you're looking for a trendy place... you should look elsewhere... besides that, my advice is to give it a go.

After exiting the restaurant, the waitress followed my family outside. She wanted to tell us that we did not tip enough. On this given night, my mother who was visiting us wanted to pay the bill, and my mother is not a big tipper. So I could understand where the waitress’ frustration was coming from. The waitress expected more tip from my mom…… and unfortunately my mom was not willing to tip more. My mom is an elderly lady with limited funds, and so I could understand her point of view, too.The waitress went on to explain that she expected 18%, and my mom put a little less than even 10%. I could see my mom’s reaction, and I understood right away that my mom was not in a position to tip more than that.At this point I interjected… I felt like the waitress was “demanding” that my mom voluntarily tip more than ~10%. I interjected by excusing ourselves from the whole conversation, and the waitress walked away saying, “next time, don’t pick us!”What a terrible experience…. I’ve been to Sakura before. I have tipped their staff well during my previous visits. In this particular visit, I learned that I will never return to Sakura.Tip is optional here. I know that the wait staff depend on tip to be able to earn a descent income, and that it is a large portion of their take home. I personally also used to work for tip at one point in my career, so I can complete empathize. But nothing changes the fact that tip is optional. You cannot “demand” for a tip. That’s against the rules of civilization.

Food was good yet nothing special. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is somewhat drab and worn-out feeling.Go for a special if offered and an absolute surprise.

My husband and I came here for the first time tonight. It wasn’t bad and it wasn’t anything noteworthy. If it’s worth mentioning, we don’t eat sushi with cream cheese or fried ingredients. The edamame with garlic (we asked for the garlic sauce from the garlic broccoli appetizer) and all but one of the sushi rolls we shared were mainly bland, despite the spice of jalapeño on two of them. The service was decent but not very attentive… we had to ask for water. Perhaps the hibachi and kitchen items are better, but I wouldn’t seek it out for sushi.

We can’t go to any other place for hibachi anymore. This is hands down the best of all time. Summer is an amazing waitress and makes the experience even

I feel a little bad giving them 2 stars because the service, the food, the environment and everything else was really good, but…….. only while we were still inside the restaurant.After exiting the restaurant, the waitress followed my family outside.

Stopped here on a whim (visiting from ATL) and had a great experience. Food was good, beyond my expectations and prices + portions were on point. Huge fan of the tempura yam, never tried that before and it's delicious!Vegetarian options: Vegetable entrees, tempura, and teriyaki options. Vegetarian soups salads and appetizers as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible by wheelchair from parking lot. Wheelchair accessible seating available.

A Japanese restaurant run by non-Japanese. Good but not high end. We were an unannounced group of 30 people. We ordered many different dishes. Surprisingly, the restaurant managed to serve us all quickly. Definitely not worth 20% tip which they automatically charged.
