My daughter and boyfriend were in town from college so I wanted to treat them to something special. We walked in and had a 45 minute wait but we waited at the bar and got a couple of drinks. Their signature cocktails come with a cool little light ice cubes. The hibachi Chef was amazing and we had a great time. The food was great, would recommend to anybody looking for a fun night out

Great scenery, adult drinks that light up, awesome food and a hibachi grill show, sushi is delicious, friendly staff, clean, busy yet quick seating despite the wait- my son and I had the best time!!! Can't wait to go back !!! I love the meal for two so can get some of almost everything! Yum!!! Been consistently delicious for the 30 years I've been a patron there. Go and enjoy!

This has much improved over the years. It is now one of my favorite restaurants. Beautiful set up outside with koi fish and gardens. At night everything lights up outside. Food was wonderful, but we asked for double rice no noodles and for 2 of us we were charged an extra $14.00. Yikes lol

This place is intimate, beautiful, and open. We went for a birthday (along with almost every other table) and had a phenomenal experience. The food was worth every penny (expensive side) and the show was even better. The cook saw there was a younger person who was a little scared so he talked with him and did little tricks with him. It did take about 1,5 hours to even start cooking in front of us which is my only down fall to the experience. Overall will be returning !

Celebrated my granddaughter’s birthday at Sakura. Service was excellent, very attentive to us. Food was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. Would definitely recommend. We brought our own birthday cake which restaurant took from us to keep until we were ready to sing Happy Birthday. Servers came out with cake and sang.

I love Sakura Japanese steakhouse. I have never had a bad meal there and the atmosphere is just perfect for me. I will not be going there ever again. The reason for my four stars is because the food is excellent, but the prices are off the table. $30 for steak and shrimp and then $5 for a soft drink. I can't afford that. I understand the economy is terrible right now and everything is up in price but I just can't afford it. I had posted this once before when the prices were even lower but I just needed to have my steak and shrimp from Sakura. I feel bad that I'm leaving the idea of ever going there again. I'm on a fixed income and I just can't afford it. So it was just me who showed up at the restaurant and with tip and all it was $45. $45 for one person. I'm sorry but this is ridiculous.
