Walking in the decor is really nice and it's extremely clean and organized here. It was a little after the lunch rush so there wasn't too many people. All the food is displayed nicely and it appeared to be fresh. I usually go for the sushi and they had quite the variety and the taste and quality was decent. They have plenty of Chinese style dishes, so I sampled some appetizers like egg rolls and tried some stirfry. I also tried the crab legs and crawfish and they were not bad. I'd say for the price, Sakura will do if you're hungry and craving a Chinese style buffet. It may not knock your socks off but it will fulfill the craving.

Freshness varies but if you can tell what's been sitting out for a while. I thought the various Chinese items were pretty standard and nothing stood out significantly. The sushi was mostly rolls and salmon and tuna. Cost was about 20 bucks a person. Quantity is the selling point here

Not because of…read moreanything negative--it just hasn't been one of the places that comes to mind when we're deciding where to eat. Well, after tonight, that's going to change. We started by sharing the wedge salad. I am a blue cheese girl, and this blue cheese was BLUE CHEESE. Rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I could have happily made a meal out of that alone. We also ordered the calamari, which came with two dipping sauces. One was a sweet and sour-style nuoc cham sauce that was incredible. The other was a fresh, flavorful tartar sauce. The calamari itself was prepared perfectly--light, crispy, not oily at all, and cooked just right. For dinner, I had the pistachio-crusted salmon over vegetable quinoa. The salmon was excellent. The quinoa was good, but probably just not my personal style. My husband ordered the pork chop with polenta, and wow--both were fantastic. That polenta was especially memorable. We sat at a table in the bar area (that's our vibe), and we had the pleasure of being served by Orlando, a newer bartender. He was outstanding. From the moment we sat down, we felt welcomed and genuinely taken care of. He introduced us to a mezcal that complemented our meals perfectly and was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Top-notch customer service. This isn't an inexpensive everyday dinner spot, but the quality of the food, drinks, and service made it absolutely worth it. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back. If you haven't been to Braised lately, go check it out--and if you're lucky enough to have Orlando take care of you, you're in for a great evening.

Great as a date night spot or the casual evening out. The service was great, attentive and friendly. Ordering was quick and efficient. Drinks and appetizer came out quickly until we had to wait for our mains. Didn't time it as we were still enjoying our evening but we waited an extended amount of time. Needless to say we weren't the only ones waiting. With the wait aside we absolutely LOVED our mains! The Gnocchi in the pink gorgonzola sauce was amazing! The gnocchi were soft, pillowy, and cheesy. The sauce was creamy with a sweetness from the tomato sauce with a slight acidity. Highly recommended. The ravioli rustica was delicious. Perfectly cooked ravioli were stuffed with spinach and cheese and sauced with a creamy sweet pea puree. All topped with slivered almonds, which added a nice nuttiness to the dish. Needless to say we cleared the plates. Dessert was their special pistachio tort. A flourless pistachio cake topped with rich chocolate ganache and more crushed pistachios. Rich and decadent. We also ordered their Crème Brûlée. Creamy, smooth, with a slight sweetness. The burnt sugar was perfectly torched with a great crackle. Would order again. A great experience nonetheless. Will definitely add to our rotation for date nights.

If a restaurant is going to add that kind of charge, it should be clearly disclosed upfront before customers order or make reservations. Unfortunately, the experience did not come close to justifying the extra cost. The steaks were badly overcooked, the food was mediocre at best, and there were large flies throughout the restaurant, which made the meal even more unpleasant. I understand that Mother's Day is a busy day for restaurants, but being busy does not give a business a free pass to surprise customers with excessive charges or deliver poor food and service. The 20% surcharge felt unfair and left a very bad impression. I willnot return, and I would strongly recommend that customers check their bill carefully before paying.

I recently visited this place and was really impressed! It's got a great small atmosphere that feels super welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly. The service was also really fast, which is always a plus, and the prices were very reasonable. My only minor critiques were that the Jamaica (hibiscus drink) could have used a stronger sweet taste, and the corn tortillas could have used a little more oil for my preference. Despite those small things, I'll definitely be back! -- Coach Ruben (Boxing 4 Life Champion®) read more

Then we tasted it. Some places keep the same quality, it has been 2 years, but was hoping it would've stayed the same or got better. Unfortunately this time it wasn't the best. Jess got the two enchilada combo which comes with rice and beans. No choice on the sauces "red comes standard", but they're super nice when it comes to following the special instructions. Props to them for that! She said the beans weren't the same, plus, they looked like their was alot of beans, but scooped in and it deflated. The rice had "somewhat" good flavor, but was more dry and looked a little overcooked. Salsa and chips were over 6 dollars. We wanted to try them cause we didn't recall ordering them before, this time we're sure, gotta be a pass. The chips had some flavor, but tastes stale, the salsa was a thick pico and wasn't very up to par with a lot of other salsas you taste. Our preferences are different so you might agree or you might not. I got an Asada Burrito with rice and beans and I got it done "wet" with cheese. I also asked for a side of green sauce on the side and they were gracious enough to give me a big side, thank you so much for that. That was very nice and good service. The burrito however, was bland. No seasoning on anything, the meat was just "ok", the "wet" part wasn't wet enough on the burrito. It was almost dry. So thankful they put the sauce on the side. Horchata and jarrito came out close to $10. The Horchata had a strange aftertaste, it was watered down by the time it got to us, we got delivery, might taste better at the restaurant. Glad I tried it, wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't get it again. Overall, not sure we would come back here again. Probably won't order delivery again. Even with free delivery it still was $56 with tip. Normally I would say that's not too bad for 2025 from a restaurant, still a little high, but.. this time it felt bad. Especially for the lack of flavor. Hopefully y'all have a better experience than we had. Probably say this could've been an off day for them.

I ordered the lunch special with shredded beef flautas. For $11.99, it was a solid deal and pretty tasty. I can be a tough critic, especially when it comes to Mexican food, so that says a lot. I can see why this restaurant was voted one of the best Mexican restaurants in Kings County in 2025. It's definitely worth checking out.

They made sure to give utensils and napkins, so plus side for that. Now for what I ate from here. I got an Asada Wet Burrito topped with Salsa Verde. The burrito itself looked really nice, the overall flavor was good; not great. Something about the Asada itself, just didn't really do it for me personally. It was shredded and sliced at the same time in different parts of the burrito, but it all tasted the same; plain. They made a pretty hefty burrito! So points for that! The show stopper here was the Salsa Verde on top! The sauce I topped my burrito with was the salsa verde, but they also do red sauce if you choose. Their was beautiful soft and meaty pieces of Chile verde meat on top and the sides of the burrito, that meat was waaaayyyyy better than the asada. So go for that meat choice instead! The salsa verde is spicy! Great heat and flavor to it! Pro Tip: order a side of salsa verde to go with your burrito. It tends to get dry after your first few bites, so keep an extra side of sauce for topping and dipping! The cost of the burrito is $13.99 and I do feel it is worth the price. I would definitely come back and try out another burrito, but next time with a different meat. I would even be so keen on trying one of the Tortas they have on the menu. Come check this place out if you're in Visalia and looking for another Mexican Restaurant to try out! They have a very nice sized menu with plenty of stuff for Everyone!
