We got the love boat for 2 and the caterpillar maki. It was pretty good, what you expected. The ingredients were fresh. We would come back to try the hibachi next time! read more

Sakura Asian Bistro - Love Boat for 2 Dinner - Japanese Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

Food is great but the take order was set for 5:30 and pass 6:00 and still not ready. Should really rethink what they are doing. Not happy!!!!! read more

Quality of Chinese-American cuisine is top tier. The sushi is very fresh. I love this place. Next time I'll try to hibachi it always sounds like a good time. Eclectic decor and fun. read more

Took my kids to Sakura last night. Close yo home just off 3A/DW hwy. Got a nice vibe from the place inside from the decor. About 8 hibachi tables. Prices reason able & Habachi chef was more entertaining than average. Had the chicken. One disappointing thing was the kids only given miso soup, not a salad or even a choice of soup/salad. My recommendation would be a choice. Would go back. read more

The first thing I have to say is, you need to get the Sakura Pizza! This made the review go from 4 to 5 stars! It's a scallion pancake with salmon, tuna, kani salad, and seaweed salad all drizzled with eel sauce. When I tell you that it's soooo good, trust me! I want to go back just for that! We both got hibachi dinner - chicken and steak combo and surf and turf (lobster and filet mignon). You first get started with a salad, a typical ginger sauce. This was even more basic than what you usually see because it was just iceberg lettuce and the dressing. The soup was also pretty subpar because the mushroom weren't cooked just raw mushroom tossed into the soup. These are just an add on, so I don't really care about it. The hibachi entree is what we need to focus on. The filet mignon was so tender and melted in your mouth. I was really surprised by the quality of the meat, even the sirloin steak was tender (obviously not as much as the filet). The lobster was nice and buttery, and the veggies were nicely cooked. I loved the flavor of the fried rice too! The chef was very entertaining, definitely made adult jokes (penis shaped fried rice, slapping meat, etc.) But our table was all adults so not sure if this applies to all shows. The drinks are very very strong. The scorpion bowl is for one and it was still huge. Others at the table go the fish bowl for 2 and they loved it. It came with an entire bottle of Corona. Overall, it was a nice experience! Make sure to get the Sakura pizza, you won't regret it! read more

Best sushi in the area! The G-Dragon is my usual and it's incredible. Sometimes we get hibachi and it's also delicious!

When ordering take out, make sure to unpack your order at their desk and verify they have give you everything your ordered. Too consistently have I ordered A meal that comes with a side, or purchased additional sides, and found them missing. The food tastes great otherwise, but there's nothing more aggravating than ordering dinner And coming home to find out it's incomplete. read more

I cannot rave about my experience here enough. We went on a Saturday night with 7 people in our party. Initially we had called ahead knowing that there was no availability at another local hibachi place and decided to just walk in with our big party. The owner was kind enough to squeeze us in even though they were busy and had no open reservations. He told us he could seat us and help us if we could eat between a certain time which I was perfectly fine with. The food is always top notch! Phenomenal show for hibachi with flavorful food and even stronger drinks. I would recommend the fishbowl to share with friends!! I absolutely loved it. If you are looking for a place with great sushi and hibachi than this is your spot!! read more

Sakura Asian Bistro - Fishbowl for 2 - Japanese Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

Yup. This is it. This is the spot right here. This is the place you go to if you want decent hibachi in Nashua. For those who follow me, you are well aware of how much of a disappointing dumpster fire of a hibachi restaurant Takumi was. Welp, get ready to meet its opposing twin. Sakura wins in all the areas its competitor loses. Though, not without its own minor flaws. First off, the décor of this place is awesome! Contemporary, updated with lots of eye appeal, this place reeks of vibrant jubilation. Almost made me wanna bust a move on the hibachi table. Nah, I'm kidding. I don't even dance. Jokes aside though, it's nice to see a place like this make me remember that I'm still alive. So, what makes this place so much better than the others? Well for one thing, they actually SEASON their food! Crazy, right? Still, wifey and I both avoided ordering any more steaks for the time being and went with the lobster and shrimp/scallops, respectively. Both were excellent. Even the fried rice was pretty good.....but could have used more egg (and preferably unburnt). Assuming all the chefs here season the food exactly the same way, it's safe to assume the seafood here is around an 8 out of 10. Well, the lobster and shrimp, anyway. The scallops in this case....were burnt. Crisp. Blacker than the Batmobile. Toast. Scorchy, scorchy. You get the picture. No, the chef didn't leave his station. He just...kind of....seared the scallops for WAY too long. Funny thing is....the inside of the scallop still somehow came out perfect. I was worried those things would become hard as golf balls. But no....a bit of yum yum sauce spread across the scorched surfaces turns out to deal a unique, but pleasantly blended taste. Almost forgot I was eating charcoal. The server was weird. Like, she'd ask if we wanted refills at the oddest times. I mean, my bestie still had half a Margarita left when the waitress asked. Feeling the pressure a bit, bestie says yes, ends up giving the remaining drink to wifey, then wifey proceeds to get drunker than Rip Torn. But, I digress. The waitress was also impossible to hear in an already loud place. To be fair though, at least this place isn't as loud as Masa in Manchester. Never the less, we will be back. Even if, ya know....we still have to painstakingly ask for chopsticks when they simply could have been left on the table waiting for us. Sakura gets 4 brilliantly seasoned seafood platters out of 5. read more

Sigh.. I live in Vegas and was down here in Nashua for few days, order to go from this place. I wouldn't recommend this place. Order a chicken katsu, that normally comes with rice, salad, miso soup, 4/6 California sushi, veggies and tempura. However At this place I had to order everything separately. The phone conversation to place the order was confusing. Went to pick my order 25 mints after. The miso didn't taste fresh, the chicken looked kinda raw ‍. The rice tasted like jasmin rice. The California roll was ok. Ordered some steam broccoli that tasted ok as well. I would encourage the chef to be more attentive with their food. Not because it's a to go order they should send with out reviewing if the order is cooked properly. read more

Some of the best sushi and asian food in the area. Huge menu with plenty of options. They have hibachi too. You can get it off the menu if u dont want to do hibachi tables. The sushi is super fresh and excellent flavor combinations. The restaurant has a comfortable feel. Staff was excellent with great service. Drinks were flavorful and made well. Definitely worth a stop in. read more

Came back for lunch, dinner menus brought out at 1:00pm during lunch hours. Great food but if you have a lunch menu available you should offer to customers not hope they order off the more expensive menu by default. read more

Listen, I am not a sushi guy. For me, its not the raw fish thats the issue, its the salty ass ocean leaves that you guys wrap that shit in. Its super gross. BUT my girlfriend loves sushi so I bring her here every time that she has one of these strange cravings. I usually order a scorpion bowl or two just to tolerate watching her eat it. They are inconsistent with their booze pours, which is my only real gripe about this place. My girlfriend says the sushi here is bangin. I believe her, so you probably should too. If you're like me, don't worry they have the basics like General Tso's chicken and shit too. They are also a full blown hibachi restaurant. So if you're into samurai's flipping shrimp into your mouth, this might be your jam. read more

I want to give a shoutout to a wonderful waiter named Seven. Every time my family dines here, she goes above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Her warm attitude, attention to detail, and consistent great service truly make a difference. It's rare to find someone who brings that kind of energy and care to their work every single time. We always leave with smiles, and she's a big reason why. Thank you, Seven! -Tyler read more

Second time trying this place and it was awful. Our server was horrible and so rude. Name on the check for server was Seven_H not sure if that means anything, short black hair and glasses. Will not be returning. read more

Wow! What a great little find in North Nashua. This little place is off the main road and worth the stop. The appetizers we had were on point, and the Morgan Roll was to die for!! We're definitely coming back to try the hibachi side (and another Morgan roll)! read more

2 stars because we dined tonight 9/17/24; we were the only 2people at the bar for a Tuesday night at 6p. Bartender very nice, friendly and a little overwhelmed. We ordered 2 avocado salads, crispy wings and sushi roll. Took well over an hour for the wings to come out, even after 2 reminders and banter about where the wings were coming from. We finally were served the wings, they were room temperature. Very disappointing ! NO effort from management to make the situation right. We should have refused them, I requested that the wings be comp'd. The bartender informed us management does not comp food, had I known we would have refused them. I'm shocked and extremely surprised that the manager would prefer a bad review vs. comping the wings. The Bartender is clearly overwhelmed with NO support from other staff or management. She is expected to service the entire restaurant, the bar and grab the food as it comes out. It's no mystery why our wings took over an hour to be served and why they were cold. VERY disappointing experience. My advise, if it's takes longer than 30 minutes for your order to arrive, refuse the service, pay for your drinks and go to a restaurant that cares about your satisfaction. read more

My sister gets take out from here all the time so we decided to go for dinner one night. I had a spicy tuna maki and the udon noodles. I was going to get the crispy pad tai, but our sever did not recommend it. There wasn't really anyone in the restaurant and I would like to go back for hibachi. read more

Sakura Asian Bistro - Spicy Tuna Maki - Japanese Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

Had some great chefs rolls, spicy and tasty. The Pad Thai was OK, could have used a little more sauce and while it had a peanut taste would have been much better with some chopped peanuts added. Service was fast and food came out promptly. Oh, I forgot I got calamari fried this time, it was good, sort of like onion rings but with nice sized squid rings. I might try the raw (unfried?) version next time as I like that too. The Hibachi tables in the back were pretty busy and that's usually a fun time, just have to get there at the right time as it looked crowded. read more

Also, the food and drinks were delicious! I strongly recommend this spot for groups. The sushi was superb! read more

Impeccable service!! I have been to many 5-star restaurants, and the service here is amazing!! We sat at the hibachi, and while it was very entertaining, I wish we had sat the children a little further away from the flash of fire or at least be warned. My grandkids, ages 4 and 8, were afraid after the big flash of fire. I will definitely be more careful next time. I should say that after about 10 minutes, the children were calm and happily ate their delicious food as pictured below. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Delicious fresh sushi! We got the g dragon and pink lady roll! Both amazing and wow the quality of fish really surprised me. The maki combos are affordable and they had a variety of options in the menu! The only thing i would say is that they took roughly 45-1 hour to get our food out! Drinks were strong so i guess thats good! Havent tried their hibachi but it sounded like everyone was having a good time on that side! Would come back!!!! Top 3 in terms of quality and flavor!!! read more

The sushi is always super fresh and beautiful ! My husband eats a ton of it . I however prefer Hibachi. The scallops are delicious my steak was a little over but usually perfect. The drinks are tasty and potent. My favorite is the "Mango Mai Tai". We did wait quite a while this particular visit but again they are usually pretty attentive so I attribute the wait to staff shortages as most are experiencing. Our most recent visit was wonderful and little to no wait for service. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. Definitely a frequent spot for us we will be visiting often. read more

This is our favorite place in Nashua! Sushi is always fresh, service is great and the mai tais are STRONG!

Sakura is an awesome sushi spot with a decent vegetarian selection of maki rolls. COVID precautions were very professional- temperatures taken at door, staff with masks and gloves, but patrons could have been spaced out a bit more. My friend and I had a hysterical moment because we ordered two rolls with avocados and they ran out of avocados. One of the Maki rolls was just peanuts, kind of strange but we ate it. We are planning to return in hopes that the avocados are not 86ed! read more

I had a great experience here. The ambiance (lighting, decor) is really nice without being overdone. This spot is great for birthday parties and groups! If you've never been here before, be aware it can get loud on the hibachi table side. The food tastes very fresh and it's not that greasy. Vegetable fried rice is my favorite. Scallion pancakes tasted SO fresh and doughy. The teriyaki chicken was tasty and not overcooked. I ordered a scorpion bowl for one, and it was good, especially for the price. I feel like other places charge more for them. The chef and other staff were very friendly. I will definitely come back here soon! read more

Absolutely disgusted with this place. I have been here at least 5 times since my girlfriend moved to Nashua, conveniently within a 5 minute drive. Tonight, our hibachi chef was very friendly and attentive, however our waitress tried to rush us out the door as soon as he was finished cooking. She brought takeout containers and the check while everybody in the party was still eating. She also didn't ask us if we wanted another drink, we had one. We were rushed the minute we got through the door. To top it all off, we figured we'd get out of the way and move to the bar... Before we even had a seat the older woman yelled at us and said "YOU CAN'T SIT HERE IF YOU AREN'T 21 ARE YOU 21???" With a terrible attitude. Now this isn't the first time this woman has given us this same attitude, we had come here a few months ago with a friend and tried to sit down an hour before close and the first thing she said was that they're closing soon. Just an unwelcoming feeling, not once but twice. After 5 minutes of waiting for some service after she yelled at us thinking we were under 21, we decided to left. I am 25, and I have a baby face, but this is no way to treat paying customers... We walk out to the car and the woman behind the bar is pointing to us. The customer at the bar turn around and are staring... I begin backing out.. and a young man is standing at the doorway staring. I'm still backing out. He steps out the door so I pull back into the parking spot thinking we might've forgotten something. He comes to my window and accuses us of stealing a cup from them... I told him that the reason we left was because the bartender was so rude to us. He proceeded to tell us that the bartender said that we stole a cup.... so I went inside and asked her why she had told her staff this lie, she was in denial. I was so embarrassed. You guys lost a regular customer, I really liked this place. I will never return because of this particular sour and rude bartender. We happily took our business down the road to La Carreta where the bartender immediately greeted us with a friendly smile and a "how are you" before ID-ing us, instead of yelling at us before ID-ing us and basically sending us out the door. I've never been treated so poorly in an establishment and these people should be ashamed of themselves. read more

Took the family out for hibachi and was seated with another family. The chef put the steak on the grill, served my grand daughter her portion, then began seasoning the steak for everyone else (????) next he proceeded to divide up the portions unevenly, giving the other family each 2 helpings of food BEFORE serving us. My husband was last to be served so he was left with a minuscule portion of rice, steak, chicken, and vegetables. His serving sizes were actually less than my grandson's child size meal. At the end of this overly seasoned meal they tried to give us the other family's bill, which was considerably more than ours. Hmmm, could argue that it was an honest mistake, but was it? It's not hard to give two parties good service. Giving good service to one family shouldn't be at the expense of another family. Next time we want hibachi, we'll go across the street. read more

I went to Sakura because my girlfriend wanted to do hibachi, can I tell you this place did not let me down. Phenomenal sushi, phenomenal hibachi experience. It was so good that we went two days later for the same. That experience was so good that we decided to go there for lunch and yet again the experience was outstanding. Food is fresh and the Service is great I am going back again and again and they're going to think I'm a stalker. read more

It's pretty consistent! Is it the best hibachi I have ever had? Nope...but it also isn't the worst. The cooks are always entertaining and funny. The food is always edible, thought the steak is usually cooked more than requested. We will continue going here, and my kids will always be excited to go! read more

Incredibly rude servers and staff. Terrible experience tonight. Even spoke to manager and they did nothing to try and make it better. Will never go back. read more

went here October 2022 food was amazing portions were incredible we all had left overs for next day (party of 13) went today november 3rd a little over a year later and wow have they changed we all had kid size portions (again party of 12) told chef/cook this was kind of small and we even ordered extra rice and he did nothing. For the amount that is being charged they should go back to what they were doing I walked around and saw other plates with bigger portions no problem not sure why we got treated different. Going to second guess going again maybe go to the one down the street. Only other issue is 2 people in our party were split with other side of grill and they did not receive any food the same time as us they had to wait which I think is not ok all our food should of came together even if they ordered from kitchen. read more

Food is ok, menu is deceptive, be careful. Appetizer is not as photo and ordered side hibachi shrimp but got a full meal. Manager did not remove it from table or my bill even after telling her it's double the price and I can't even eat the rice. No where on the menu says sides can not be ordered individually. I will go literally across the street from now on instead- well done manager squeezing 15.00 out of a Customer that could have been a regular. read more

Sushi was fresh and delicious. Service was very good and helpful. It was a Friday night so it was quite loud inside. Would not visit at dinner time on the weekend if you want a quiet dinner. read more

We came on Sunday and ordered four different entrees and three appetizers. By the way, we sat at a regular table. The food came out willy nilly with appetizers and entrees leaving very little room for so many plates. The food was good but the noise level was crazy! We wanted to have a conversation but ended up practically yelling to be heard. I understand that you can't make people quiet but, perhaps a barrier of some type would be good. read more

We had an impromptu family gathering at Sakura where they were very accommodating to our group of 15, with an age range of 9 to 52. The kids were at one grill where the hibachi chef entertained the kids by allowing them to try a hand a making fried rice. Even the teenagers were getting a kick out of it! On the grownup side, it was like being at a dinner and a show. Our chef, we'll call him Tom Brady, was absolutely hysterical with his jokes geared much more to the R rated crowd...no worries, like I said, the kids were being entertained at the grill across from us. I was expecting the cuisine to be like any other hibachi place around, but this food had flavor! The kids shared a spicy salmon roll that got 2 thumbs up and the Sexy Salmon did not disappoint! We had a mix of chicken, steak, shrimp, scallops, and calamari, and everyone was pleased. The friend rice was delish, hibachi noodles perfectly seasoned, mushroom soup and salad had great flavor, and the fresh veggies stole the show. Beyond the kids' sodas, the mai tais and scorpion bowls got rave reviews as well. By the time we left, I'm not sure if our bellies hurt from all the food or from laughing so hard. We will definitely be going back! read more
