Tried it, didn’t like it, will not return.
First let me say that my wife and I love Japanese steakhouses. We have been to dozens of them all over the country. This place was definitely not one of the best. The service was as bland as the food. When we arrived the parking lot was full I dropped my wife off to get us a table while I parked the car at the far end of the lot. When I got there she told me they had refused to seat her until I arrived. I thought: Ok, that must be their policy. However, after we were seated they seating a mother and two children next to us and the mother said her husband would be there after he parked the car. Apparently, their policy of not seating a party until all members arrive is not consistently applied. That set a bad tone for the evening.
The table service was also a bit disappointing. Our waiter was a very quiet young man; so quiet that we could barely understand him when he spoke. There were several misunderstandings which led to mistakes with our order as a result of his mumbling. I looked around the room and noticed that almost none of the employees were smiling. Unhappy employees usually leads to poor customer service and this place was no exception.
The cook was boring. No onion volcano, no tossing shrimp, no friendly banter, not even a smile. He did make a lackluster attempt to spin his spatula, and did the usual butterfly and egg roll gags but we could tell he was not into it.
As for the food, it was very bland and poorly prepared. The soup starter tasted like MSG and mixed with hot water. My wife asked for medium steak and she got overcooked shoe leather. I hedged my bets by requesting my filet mignon to be cooked medium rare. I got medium, which is ok, I guess. It’s hard to mess up a filet and it tasted fine. Everything else was bland. In fact, the vegetables tasted like they had no seasoning at all.
There was one other thing that I found odd. The restaurant did not play any background music. I did hear a television blaring somewhere that I could not see. But no music. Strange… and not pleasant.
Sorry, Sakura. You have some work to do.

This place is pricey but they have a lot of variety when it comes to sushi. The sushi was really good. I had the Bloody Mary and Red Dragon and I loved them. Bloody Mary is a sushi lovers dream. I had a Green Dragon and they got me a Wounded Dragon on the house. Our waiter/​bartender was really cute and fun. A solid place for sushi but not mind blowing.
Over all: way over priced for frequent visits. I have to say the bar is really what gives it stars for me. I think if I want to drink and wanted sushi this would be the place to go.

I love this place. The food is super cheap and yummy. Every time I go the staff is always very nice and welcoming. They are also very generous with their sushi the actual grill is awesome to see them cook your food in front of you

One bad thing about this place is they give you a LOT of food, it all tastes good, I’m in agony when I leave from overeating. Soup, salad, appetizers (I get the two shrimp, no chick livers), fried rice or it is refried rice, fried vegetables, and then your meat selection (I picked filet Mignon and chicken) and finally some fried noodles. The rice was really good and I was given a ton of it as was the other people at my table. The lady waiting on the table kept the soup, salad, etc. coming and cleared off the empty bowls, kept the water glasses filled. I got the virgin frozen strawberry daiquiri to drink. My wife ordered the shrimp and chicken. We both were STUFFED. Food was too good. We both got carry out boxes. Had a very nice meal. Oh yes the cook was terrific, a little funny but very thorough in his cooking and did a great job. On a cold night when the cook flamed the grill it felt good!

Really good food!!! Yum yum sauce is a little to sweet poor the soy sauce for 3 seconds and stir it and its FANTASTIC!!! Fast service and polite staff

This place was great! The servers are attentive and offered suggestions and were knowledgable about the menu. The food was amazing and had enough to take home. Would definitely return!

As you entered Sakura, you are met by a super strong odor of oil. The floors have a layer of filth. Their is no greeting. They are also poorly staffed and over priced.
The staff needs a makeover. They don’t understand how to deal with customers. They are just order takers and are not empowered to deal with issues that arise.

SO GOOOOOOOOOOD
Chicken steak & yum yum sauce
Chefs are usually funny
A little pricey but so worth it

I love this place. We always go for special occasions. I always request Arnoldo. He is so good the best.

I’ve been here dozens of times however tonight I sat at the sushi bar whereas I usually sit at the hibachi tables. Chef kept giving me samples, each of which were DELICIOUS!!! The service was also impeccable!!! The sushi is always so fresh and delicious!!! By far, the best dining experience I’ve had, ever!!!

I love Sakura!!!
Specially their sushi!
There is this Latino chef that makes cooks perfect!

Not bad the food is good, kind of cool that you can see the people make the food in front of you. It’s definitely not a place to go to all the time cause it’s kind of expensive. It’s kind of nice inside too.

Went here on my anniversary and returned a month later as my choice for my birthday! Everything we ordered was delicious. The people that worked there were very sweet. The chef was very gracious and worked with my shellfish allergies! GREAT PLACE!

The meal and apps weren’t bad, after 6ish they become overwhelmed which led them to forget about us.

Very delicious food. Love the shrimp and California rolls. Our chef Tam was very nice and knew what he was doing.

Called around 5 on a Friday to see if they were busy and they said they could get us in at 6:30. Wasn’t sure what to expect based on reviews but decided to take a risk. Once I arrived realized it was prom but we were seated, with no wait and served drinks promptly. Another family of 4 was already at the table, not sure how long they had waited, but the cook arrived within a few minutes and got started. We loved it! Tons of food, great kids menu, especially when the kid is 9 and eats like an adult. Good time had by all and we took leftovers home for the next day. Great experience for us, well worth the cost. Will definitely go again.

I made a reservation for their party room a week in advance, confirmed we were keeping our reservation by mid week and did a walk through with family the day before our scheduled event. We were a party of 20, reservation was scheduled for 7, we arrived about 7:15, we where not seated until 7:35. I thought they would have been ready for a us, that was the first disappointment. Our servers were the worst. They were not available to refill drinks, remove plates and when she did show up she told us she had another table, I was floored at that comment.
I thought the food was good, the cooks were great the portions were a nice size. I only chose to come here because of the reviews on Unilocal and the no deposit on the party room, next time we’ll stick to our original choice of Tokyo Japanese Steak House.

I was surprised by the low reviews. I love the atmosphere here– all the wood and the huge tori. You get so much food and it’s fun! My scallops were superb, the shrimp okay… Chicken and steak good. I love going here with a group of friends and putting white sauce on everything! They also have good sushi and drinks.

This place is the spot if ure feeling like a monster eater! So much food and it’s delicious ahhhhhhhhh

I come here quite often, but only ever for lunch. Dinner almost doubles everything in price. My family almost always eats at the Hibachi grill and 9 times out of 10 our food is perfect. The only complaint we have ever had were the mushrooms were undercooked once. The Filet Mignon is spectacular and is a steal at lunch, the shrimp, and chicken are also quite good. The serving sizes are huge, so you will never leave hungry. I have ordered both the sushi and sashimi platters while at the grill with my family and they have both been good. They are definitely not the best sushi I have ever had, but they are good. The onion soup is always delicious and we suggest getting them over the salad (it is free to switch them out).
As far as staff, everyone is always pleasant. Someone mentioned the chef’s being quiet, but that is only if you do not speak to them and are more engrossed in your conversation. Otherwise everyone is friendly and more than willing to talk to you about what they are doing or cooking in general. We have always had a great time here. If we ever stop in for sushi alone I will update this review.
