Sakura Hibachi & Sushi

I had the jalapeño chicken hibachi lunch special for around seven dollars I have no complaints the yummy sauce is awesome

Edamame was good. Overall quality needs raised a little. Has potential.

I’ve been here a handful of times and have only tried the sushi rolls. They were ok with the exception of my latest visit. We ordered two tiger rolls and ate in however, we had to fight the gnats trying to dine with us. After multiple gnat landings on our sushi rolls, we abandoned dinner and left. I advised the employees that we couldn’t eat our sushi due to the gnats but, they just smiled and said «sorry.» I literally ate two pieces of my sushi roll and left the rest. $ 24 down the drain. Won’t be going back.

Hibachi chicken E6 is the best around. Gave them a three out of five due to eat in availability. And staffed promptly cleaning tables for a waiting customers.

First time there today. I was so excited at first to find a sushi restaurant this close to Truxton. But then our food was brought to the table. We both ordered spicy tuna rolls and they were distinctly different colors. Then the Philly roll seemed a bit questionable. Very nice people but I doubt I’ll go back.

Visited for lunch. Good, fast service. Sushi was average with above average presentation. We thought it odd, in that it’s not typical, that their choice of music was Christian rock.

I really wanted to like this place and have a delicious sushi bar within reach! But sadly it was no good, really quite unfortunate. The meals are made with thigh meat instead of white meat (maybe 3 oz of chicken on a ill meal) and the whole hibachi meal is drowning in some kind of oil. The sushi is not made well and the fish tasted old. I so wanted it to be good but I sadly will never go back.

We love their sushi, the volcano roll is our favorite! Reasonably priced and fast service. The environment is very laid back.

Good sushi. Very nice family run place. Not a true hibachi establishment but good none the less.

I’m sorry to say I was disappointed. After Bamboo house closed I kept seeing new work being done and was happy to see a new different hibachi and sushi restaurant in its place. Waking in I noticed that it looked pretty much the same. It definitely had that tired, worn feeling. I have no problem with used equipment but it didn’t look like a lot of effort went into cleaning the place either. No wait staff, definitely not hibachi table style. Felt like walking up to the counter of a Chinese restaurant at the mall. We ordered several sushi rolls, and all were oversized, with mushy rice, and nothing really stood out as spectacular. All were edible, just not that great. I hate to sound so negative in this review but I was truly disappointed.

Not good. The tempura batter tastes like the same batter you would use to coat fried catfish; almost as if the batter has been sitting out all day. Sushi is not good. The rice is very bland, the fish looked like it was massacred, they don’t know how to cut tuna properly. I recommend going elsewhere in Wentzville, like Taco Bell down the street, much better for the price.

I visited Sakura for lunch today. It’s a «fast casual» type place: Despite having «hibachi» in their name, they offer teppanyaki-​style dishes: small pieces of meat and veggies, stir-​fried on a sizzling flat-​top griddle, sushi and a few items traditionally found at Americanized Chinese joints (egg rolls and crab rangoon). I didn’t see a hibachi (charcoal or gas, open grate) anywhere, but maybe it’s in the back.
Of course, being fast casual, you’re not seated around a big griddle while the chef puts on a show while cooking your meal. You order at the counter, fill your drink at the soda fountain, pick your seat, and wait for them to bring the food to your table. The atmosphere is fine; the décor is simple and about as elegant as you could expect in a strip mall restaurant.
Service was pleasant, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say friendly. I think the woman behind the counter was pulling double duty, as she seemed distracted by some paperwork, but took my order when I was ready.
As you can see from the menus posted, they offer a choice of fried rice or noodles with each entrée. Some meals come with a small green salad with ginger dressing. I chose the Hibachi Sakura Special (steak, chicken, shrimp) with fried rice. The salad was fine, but the presentation was less than elegant: a white, styrofoam clamshell container with a small plastic ramekin of dressing. «House salad» was written in ink pen on top of the container. I could have used more dressing, but it was just enough that I didn’t feel like getting up and asking for more.
The meal was served on a plastic plate. The dish itself seemed closer to something you would see at a Chinese place than a teppanyaki restaurant. It was missing that nice brown sear that you get with true teppanyaki. The meats and veggies (onion, zucchini, mushroom, carrot) were all mixed together in a teriyaki glaze. The teriyaki was acceptable, but I missed the ginger and mustard sauces that are usually served at places like Oishi and Kobe. If you’re not a fan of teriyaki, make sure you speak up when ordering. The rice was a little bland, but good enough. Overall, the flavor and quality were fine.
This is an okay place, but not outstanding. It’s a little too expensive for fast casual, but not high enough quality to enthusiastically recommend. My meal came to around $ 15. I would have spent that much for lunch at Oishi, plus I would have gotten soup and a «show.» I didn’t have to tip here, so I did save a little money.
