    Steak & scallops

    This place was fantastic. We had a short wait and then we were rewarded with huge portions! We left with enough for lunch for each of us the next day.The waiter was so nice and very accommodating. We loved it.

    Filet Steak and chicken hibachi
    Janet W.

    Business was brisk on a Wednesday evening after 7 pm. Our family of three was able to get one of the last tables in the dining area. There is also a hibachi area which looked full and I saw people waiting for that side. We ordered pork gyoza which are fried and tempura shrimp for appetizers. The hibachi dinners came with soup and salad with choice of dressing (we chose ginger dressing). I picked the shrimp hibachi, son chose the shrimp and filet steak hibachi, and husband chose the steak hibachi. Portions are huge and we brought home three boxes worth of leftovers. It is a good value for all the food! Our hibachi came out so quickly that the shrimp tempura came out last. They also have sushi menu but we did not partake on this visit. They do have a happy hour pricing between 3-5 pm on weekdays as well as lunch specials for additional value. I am a big fan of Japanese food so I am glad to add this one to my repertoire when I am visiting the area.

    Not sure of the name of the roll!!

    The service was prompt. The restaurant is clean and quiet. The food fresh, good, and temperatures were as needed.

    Hidden gem! The food was delicious. I do think they have an overstaffing issue as there was about 15 staff in there with 3 tables full, but I'm not complaining haha! For there being so many people, however, we waited about 10 minutes for the check while no one else was there. Luckily, we were not in a rush and it ended being a very nice experience.

    This place has good food but it's kind of more Chinese I think than Japanese! My photos will affirm that! But the chicken and shrimp was good And I'm sure like a staple for this place it's like teppon style when served.Pot sticker sauce yummy . I'd return if in thr area again

    Nothing we're still waiting

    We've waited 3 1/3 hours to be seated. Ate the nastiest house dressing possible. The soup had zero flavor and now we've been waiting a hour bc our cook isn't ready.

    I came here in April 2024 with some friends during vacation, and I really loved my meal! Our chef was very charismatic, kind, and prepared everyone's food in a timely manor. The only thing I will mention, which I see from other reviews as well, is the wait time. I will also note that we walked in for lunch without a reservation. We waited only 5-10 minutes for a hibachi grill table, but from there waited an additional 30-40 minutes for our appetizers and for the chef to begin preparing our meals. The wait staff was pretty laid back so we weren't able to put in additional drink orders since they were rarely around the take them, but I promise if that all wasn't an issue, this place would easily be 5 stars! I'm considering just doing take-out if I am ever around Pigeon Forge again.

    The food was top notch for sure! Some of the best hibachi food I have tasted. Even when I ate the leftovers the next day, it was still really good! 5.0 for the food!!! The service was good! The chef was also top notch and he was very kind and he just focused upon the task of making sure our orders were exceptionally fulfilled and it surely was! He was so kind! I wasn't expecting a full piece of Salmon but it was the best. I just chopped it up on top of my rice but my favorite food item here was the Salmon! The only downfalls to this place was that they do not take reservations so it is first come, first served basis, which makes the wait time a little longer before you're seated. We waited 45 minutes to an hour. Also, it is a pretty tight knit restaurant. Everything is pretty close together, so if you're uncomfortable in small, tight spaces, I would advise you to complete a take out order. They do have two areas in the restaurant, which is very convenient. One area is the regular tables within the restaurant to order food and the back area is another part of the restaurant for the hibachi cooking, which is the one where they cook in front of you. There are 3 grills and they sit about 8 people at each grill. Other than that, everything was really good! Lastly, I like how accommodating they are to your requests! An individual at or table requested no teriyaki sauce on anything and he understood and honored her request. My husband asked about getting two soups, instead of a soup and a salad, and they did just that. I'm grateful that they are kind enough to do that!

    I've driven by Sakura for years. The lil' missus wanted sushi yesterday. She googled sushi- says…read moreSakura has 4 stars and it's a buffet. Ok let's try it. Parking is tight. 2:30 Sunday afternoon and there is a line. It's dark. It's old. It's cramped. It's packed. Pay as you enter at some booth that looks like a fortune teller would be sitting in it. If the fortune teller was indeed there- they would say you are about to be forever changed. We paid- got seated- and headed to the buffet. Holy guacamole Batman. It's tight and crowded. They had prawns or maybe crawfish- missus loved them. They had shrimp. Fried fish looked rough. They had everything you can find in a Chinese food place. They had miles of noodles, piles of egg rolls and dumplings and spring rolls. They had ice cream and cookies and desserts. They had cakes and puddings and yes- a salad or three. If you got to a buffet and eat a salad- you got issues I can't fix. The final test: missus says she didn't see red jello. It isn't a real buffet without the red jello. I went looking. Yes- three kinds of jello. How did everything taste? Missus liked it all and really liked the potatoes ( why, just, why.) I thought the place was absolutely terrific. Old and a bit tired but the food was so very good. The service from our waits was good. She would say to people "I see you" and smile as she took the empty plates or refilled glasses. We paid $12.99 per person, plus $3 per person for drinks. With tip is was like $38 ish bucks. I can spend that at Freddy's or Burger King for two people. So- if ya haven't been there, try it. If ya have- you hopefully had the same great experience we did. Ive included a photo of the jello, just to prove how authentic Sakura is.

From ensuring they source fresh, seasonal ingredients to creating a welcoming atmosphere, it's obvious that everything is done with passion and attention to detail. The night we came in for dinner, we had the joy of having Mariah as our server. We had the fried chicken skins, the à la carte ribeye and sirloin, mashed potatoes, broccolini, and summer squash, and then the cobbler for dessert. The drinks were strong pours, everything was seasoned perfectly, and the service was impeccable. Another night, we came in for drinks and dessert and had the goat cheese cheesecake and Pots de Crème. If you're looking for a restaurant that's the perfect combination of great food and great vibes, this is absolutely it.

First off, the restaurant is truly stunning! Service was excellent too. We started with the Fried Chicken Skins. My friend had heard good things for a friend, but we weren't particularly impressed. I had the Hanger Steak as my entree, and it was delicious. I especially loved the potato dumplings! My friend had the Kansas City Strip, cooked medium rare, with broccolini. Initially, the steak was overcooked, but the staff quickly cooked another steak and made it right. Overall a really good experience! Downtown Sevierville has really evolved, and we enjoyed walking around and exploring after dinner.
