I remember coming here for a Yelp elite event. It took a really long time, but I actually went back…read moreafter a few years and paid for a meal. It was pretty good. The food is your usual teppanyaki affair. But service here is super top notch. Came here on a weekday and it was pretty much empty which was awesome. Felt like I had reserved the restaurant to myself. It's good to have a good alternative in the Rowland area besides Steve aioki's dad's place.

I saw that Yelp offers reservations and I booked a table for tomorrow for a celebratory dinner, with a memo asking if the teppan table was low enough for a wheelchair. I never received a response. I called to verify this question and they told me that there were no more teppan seats available. I couldn't understand what she was talking about, and I said I made a reservation online, and was told by here that I would have to sit at a regular table. WTF??? Apparently they have regular tables for you to order off the menu I think? And she never did answer my question if their teppan tables were wheelchair height. No apologies, just blamed Yelp for their reservation system and that I needed to make reservations weeks in advanced for a teppan table. This place needs to work with Yelp to figure out how to specify making reservations teppan vs. regular tables or just have people call and talk to a person to make reservations for a teppan table. Good thing I called otherwise I would've shown up for dinner tomorrow only to find out that I wouldn't have a seat at the table and disappoint my whole family. I ended up cancelling my reservation and making one at another teppan restaurant who did confirm they could accommodate a wheelchair.

Once seated, it took another 10+ minutes before anyone came to take my order. The restaurant smelled greasy and stale, and the décor looked like it hadn't been updated in over a decade. I ordered the six-course dinner, chicken fried rice and a cocktail, but honestly, the food wasn't worth nearly $100 per person. I've had better-tasting meals at Panda Express. Well, I went there for the "teppanyaki entertainment", so taste is not my major concern. But the teppanyaki chef at my table put in very little effort, while the chef at the next table was far more engaging and entertaining. The shrimp sizes were all over the place, almost like they were mixing prawns with regular shrimp. I ordered my steak medium, but it came out medium-rare. Since steak was the last course, the chef had already left by the time I started eating, so there was no chance to have it fixed. The only things I genuinely enjoyed were the cocktail and the ice cream. Unfortunately, they weren't enough to justify the price or the overall experience.

My niece has been raving about this place forevs and every time I try to order, they're either…read moreclosed or not taking orders for delivery. Yesterday I tried to order and it was closed so I went with my usual 323 Hibachi on Wheels (go see my review). Even though I ordered two plates yesterday - you don't become Elite unless you exhibit "big back" eating tendencies lol - I was still craving more hibachi, especially steak. So here I go again trying to order from this place and they weren't taking orders. Persistence paid off and they finally opened up the delivery option. I got the steak and shrimp plate. The steak was tenderly cooked and not chewy. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and they were not rubbery. The veggies came with a nice assortment of zucchini, onions, bell peppers and mushrooms; however, they could have used a little more salt/pepper and/or butter (I think they may have been sautéed in oil). The rice was perfection and this girl loves her fried rice. Note that they put scallions on top of the rice/meat portion as well as on the shrimp in case you have an allergy (I don't recall seeing that mentioned when I was ordering). As for the sauces, my go to is the "pink sauce". They offer a spicy version (the Joker) and a non-spicy version. The spicy version is too spicy for me but it was doable and the other one was too bland. I was disappointed with their version of "pink sauce" but their garlic butter and ginger sauce (which I never use) made up for the disappointment. Definitely go with the garlic butter and ginger sauce. I dip all of my hibachi in sauce and don't conform to what sauce goes with what - I conform to what my tastebuds like. While this was a very nice portion for the price, ya girl ate nearly everything and I had already eaten about an hour prior lol. Zero control when it comes to yummy food. This is definitely a place to get your hibachi on and gets a yummy in your tummy rating. One recommendation for the restaurant: For deliveries, I suggest stapling a receipt or something to that effect so the recipient can tell if the delivery person accessed the food/opened the bag and potentially tampered with the food. In this day and age, one can't be too safe.

The Royal Hibachi was a standout for me. As a food truck, I've never had hibachi style food- and…read morethey did not disappoint. I opted for the steak + shrimp combination in garlic butter with all noodles. I should've done the half and half but thankfully there was some rice in my order that I was able to get a taste. The flavors are everything and I thought the portion size of the meal was good. I was surprised at the amount of food, although the price correlates well. I felt like there was good value in the price to proportion and good food! As a pro-tip, I ordered in advance via phone and was able to walk right up, pick up my food and pay. Easy peasy. I can't wait to come back... I'm almost attempted to go tonight!

They seem to have everything in their menu including udon. I'm always ordering their #13 lunch special with California rolls. #13 normally comes with chicken and beef teriyaki, a salad, miso soup, rice and sushi. They are nice and allow me to substitute the sushi with California rolls. I like that their beef teriyaki comes with thicker sliced beef, not bulgogi meat like some Korean owned Japanese restaurants. Yes, their lunch is enough for 2. I take the beef, salad and rice. My wife takes the chicken teriyaki and California rolls. It is the perfect lunch for my wife and I. Service is normally good for me. I haven't eaten here. I only do takeout. They probably have the best deal around for lunch.

We've also celebrated a milestone birthday for my dad a few years back in the banquet room which is great for celebrations. We have our regular go to meals like the combo 3 and combo 18. It's always so much food and good to take home for later. The menu continues to evolve and periodically with sushi rolls and sushi bowls nowadays. Regardless, we always come by to say hi and enjoy some time at Sakuras because it makes us happy to enjoy dinner there with family. Also we eat here so often we can redeem our stamp cards for the freebie appetizers. :) We always appreciate the kindness and hospitality that Johan & family and the rest of staff give us. We always feel welcome and a part of the family when we dine in. That's why Sakuras has been around in West Covina for all these years! 5/5!

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much, I thought it was gonna be like a glorified waba grill but I was wrong! I love Benihana and this tasted soooo much like it. Mostly due to their Garlic butter sauce. I'm not sure if they load it with so much garlic or if it has horseradish in it, but it had the same flavor and heat that benihanas mustard sauce has and that's my favorite! So I was in heaven eating my bowl from here. Also, we ordered it online. Drove 15mins to pick it up, it was ready. Drive 15mins back home and the food was still hot and fresh. CONS: -I wasn't a fan of the type of rice they use, it had the texture of brown rice and was pretty short/thicker grained... but it still tasted delicious. Their veggies were so fresh and cooked perfectly. -there isn't a description of what their sauces taste like so it was like choosing blindly. I'm so glad I chose the garlic though, I will get that every time! -the pieces of steak were cut too big imo, but again that's just my opinion. I'll be coming to this place way more often!
