Stopped by Sakura Go in Largo for hibachi and it was just okay. Portions were big and the place is clean, but the food was pretty average steak and chicken needed more flavor, fried rice was plain, and the veggies were under seasoned. Service was friendly though. Overall, good for a casual night out, but nothing special. read more

mind you, it was cold outside so this pho was perfect for the weather! i got extra shrimp as my only protein, shrimp egg rolls and shrimp tempura (not pictured). PHO 10000/10, shrimp tempura 10/10, shrimp egg rolls 8/10 the ambience of the location is giving take out but there's plenty of seating which we did. the service wasn't top tier lol that could because they were closing in abt an hr ina half but nonetheless the food came out in a good amount of time. the workers weren't rude, just ready to go lol. overall i would recommend. they do have other hibachi options. even can add salmon and crab meat to your custom hibachi bowl! read more

I love going here after volleyball on Tuesday. They are super fast and it's enough food to fuel me after a good workout

I hate to say it but...gross. On UberEats, this spot is listed as Pho 75 & Noodles, which is misleading. Had I known this was more of a fast food spot, I would not have chosen it. I ordered the brisket and shrimp pho. The broth was very salty and lacked the essence that makes a good pho broth. The brisket was heavy on the fat. I mean, I know it's supposed to render some fat, but it was mostly fat. The shrimp was decent size. Very basic. I can't put my hand on what it was, but something in the mixture of the pho (sprouts, jalapeño, basil, protein, broth, noodles) tasted almost rancid. A bitter rustic (dirt) taste. The other item I ordered was chicken egg roll. One was fried burnt. The filling was odd. It was giving minced mystery meat. I would never order a chicken egg roll again -- it was just that traumatizingly bad. Feeling under the weather, I really looked forward to a good soup. I should have drove the distance and gone to a real pho restaurant. Won't order here ever again. read more

This place DOES NOT serve Poke bowls like it is listed here on Yelp. This is a hibachi and pho place. Disappointed.

There was way less food than normal. The new container that they use holds less food, so it was less filling. The food was done in about 10 minutes and it was hot and fresh. I did not eat inside the restaurant but it appeared to be clean. The person that took the order was pleasant and nice. read more

Sakura Hibachi and Poke - Shrimp Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Kettering, Maryland

REVIEW UPDATE: December 15, 2023 Since the original review in 2021 I've returned a few times and the food was delicious. I'm giving this restaurant a 4* knowing that it is a restaurant in a league of takeout restaurants. I typically specify restaurant class when giving reviews so that Yelpers understand that a 4* for a takeout restaurant is not the same as a 4* for an upscale dine-in restaurant. Primarily a take-out restaurant this place consistently produces delicious teriyaki and hibachi. The ordering process is seamless and quality of the food is good. You can see them prepare the food on the grill using good cooking technique to cook the proteins. Overall a good experience and I will continue to visit. ORIGINAL REVIEW: December 16, 2021 For a local Hibachi and Teriyaki restaurant this place meets the mark. At the same time when it comes to Hibachi and Teriyaki takeout in the local area you have to go in with lower expectations because sometimes the customer service and quality can be a mixed bag from fresh and exceptional to downright offensive. Sakura Hibachi and Poke seems to take pride in their dishes. I ordered the Chicken & Steak Hibachi with a side order of Shrimp Tempura. Flavors for both dishes were near equal to the quality at a dine-in Hibachi restaurant. I asked for some teriyaki sauce on my chicken and steak and they poured just the right amount. They didn't drench my food in the sauce nor did they come up short. Food seemed to be fresh. However I would have liked to see them take more pride in the self-serve condiments station which looked very unkept and messy. For me that sight turns me off especially when there are open sauce jars with serving spoons inside. It wasn't a deal-breaker for me but the fact this isn't a conventional "sit-down" restaurant I think they could stick to individually packaged condiments and minimize risks all. Yes, there are seats for customers to dine-in, but this restaurant seems to be more of a take-out establishment. Overall, decent experience. I'll return. read more

this place is SUPER stingy with the tiny packets of hoisin they give for a full bowl of pho and meat. i asked for more and they only gave two. the broth could be way better as well, nothing like the pho places in DC, crofton and wheaton. i'd rather drive 30 mins away and get good pho with ample sauce than fight with the underpaid cashiers about tiny packets of sauce (which you have to pay extra for!) read more

Sakura Hibachi and Poke - pho with chicken and brisket - Japanese Near Me - Kettering, Maryland

Their food is usually good, but lately their Pho has been supper greasy.. So disappointing, I liked their pho.

This place is now like a Panda Express. The food looks to have been sitting out for hours and they won't allow you to sample.

Used to be my favorite place ! But now it is Sakura Go express. A lot of the menu items are gone ! This sucks ! Sakura Go sucks. Farewell for Sakura hibachi and poke! I loved that place. I walked in and walked out me and two others . Good luck but it's not the same read more

Overall the food looks and tastes good. Had a bento box, two hibachi orders, and the spicy Hawaiian bowl. The spicy bowl looked the worst with the salad being old and not fresh. read more

The food is horrible and complete mush. Sushi rice was over-cooked and mushy. The filling of the sushi is mushy. The fried rice isn't the standard version either. They just went ahead and gave us brown rice that tasted like plastic. The teriyaki sauce is slimy and was all around the other food areas. Customer service wasn't too welcoming either. They are overpriced and selling below $10 quality food. read more

HIBACHI JUMBO SHRIMP BOWL (noodles, roasted broccoli; extra Hibachi jumbo shrimp) - Not understanding why poorly cooked broccoli spears (in abundance) and were a part of a noodle bowl which also contained ample jumbo shrimp - no broth and needed a whole lot of chewing but wasn't ready to swallow. The fork did not penetrate the stalks. Not enjoyable at all. Those short on teeth or dentures would not be able to manage this meal service. I have never experienced such an unpalatable veggie that could possibly cause choking hazard. Maybe I could cook the broccoli til tender. read more

This has got to be the worst sushi and hibachi that I've ever had. Normally I give a restaurant two chances, but this time will only be one. I've had supermarket sushi that was lightyears better. The staff were okay, but seemed confused by the fact that I placed my order online and even though it was right behind them, they spent a while trying to find it. I almost walked out. read more

Food is great and fresh, and hot! They def make sure ur food to your liking. U pay for quantity and quality! Management is friendly and def will return read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Since moving to this area in 2019, I've patronized this place many times and never had a bad experience. Their chicken teriyaki is soooo delicious to me and you get a lot for what you pay! I've also tried their hibachi chicken, which I enjoy too. If you've tried Quickway Hibachi or Sarku Japan and like that, then you'll love Sakura! It's my absolute fave! read more

Hello, my name is Unique and I'm addicted to Pokè. Unfortunately, this time at SH&P, my itch was not scratched and the customer service seems to have declined. There are about 15 signs in and around the place advertising sushi burritos. When I proceeded to order one, the person taking my order informed me "sushi burrito no more", disappointed I opted for the Hawaiian breeze bowl. Before I got my bowl, I noticed a A man behind the counter in dark shades and a grimace. He was angry and speaking rather rudely to the other staff. I'm really big on the customer experience and it's not at all appropriate to reprimand staff in front of customers. This same sunglass wearing man angrily made my bowl. Needless to say this bowl was not made with love. I watched him closely and he seemed to just be slamming seaweed and angrily squirting eel sauce on my bowl. The bowl left much to be desired. Loaded with bland white rice and lacking fish, I was pretty underwhelmed. Uninteresting flavor profile, and mostly a rice bowl. I suggest an update to the signs and menu to more accurately reflect what's offered. I also suggest homeboy with the glasses to take a chill pill. read more

The Brisket & shrimp pho is bomb also their steam dumplings are very tasty ! Give'em a try ...

Yummo yum. I have been waiting for this place to open. Like, seriously. I saw that it was opening soon and got uber excited! Easy peasy location in Largo Plaza. I believe it is where the old shoe store used to be (am I dating myself?) Either way it is pretty open inside with a good amount of seats, wherever you sit there is place to watch tv. They have a section where you are able to see the sushi being made in addition to them cooking on the grill. The menu is fairly large in size for a fast casual place. They have teriyaki, hibachi, bento boxes, sushi, sushi burritos, poke bowls, and dessert. Each of these selections have various choices of meat selections. It was explained to me that the teriyaki choices are slightly smaller. Not my fave- the up-charge for: fried rice, noodles, yum yum sauce, etc. But, I suppose I understand. I got the chicken and steak hibachi with noodles. This meal was huge! Much bigger than what I expected and what I received from a comparison joint. Also, the steak actually resembled steak, rather than that chopped meat like substance that you can get from other places. The best part, leftovers! There is no way you can finish this portion in one sitting and everyone knows that hibachi taste better after the sauces can sit in overnight and flavor it up. Prices are slightly higher than the closest comparable fast casual hibachi, but the quality is way better. Also, I didn't notice a loyalty (buy 5 get one free or get half off) catd type of thing. Regardless, I'm going back! I've got lots more to try! read more

I don't order from Sakura like I used to However, I've called in orders and ordered via Uber Eats alot and I get the same thing each time - Hibachi chicken with zucchini and brocolli, no onions. So I decided to order via Uber Eats on May 6. When I got my order there's cabbage instead of zucchini. I go back to Uber Eats to check the description. No change there so I call Sakura and explain that I was expecting zucchini, not cabbage. I even stated that the description wasn't updated to reflect this change. I was told there's nothing they could do about it. I was willing to go to the restaurant to change my order but I was told no. I'm really disappointed with the way this situation was handled but thankfully ubers eats refunded me. read more

Not a bad place for a quick poke bowl fix. It's not the best fish (freshness) by any means but you definitely get a good portion for what you pay for. If this is your first time trying poke, I'd say go for it. If poke is your favorite food, I would look for something else. read more

Sakura Hibachi and Poke - Poki Fantastic Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Kettering, Maryland

Although the portions were very big the taste of the poke bowl and the raw fish had to much of a fishy taste. After awhile I had to put the salmon and tuna to the side and then attempted to try the miso soup which is by far the worst I've ever had it tasted way to sour other miso soups I have tried in the past were flavorful and fermented perfectly this one was just bad. As for my significant others dish he ordered a shrimp hibachi with noodles and the noodles came back cold as well as the steamed vegetables so the hot shrimp sat on top of cold noodles with a side of cold steamed veggies. They did replace the noodles with another container but by then he was over it. I would try maybe another dish but not rushing to come back ‍‍ read more

Sakura Hibachi and Poke - Shrimp hibachi with veggies - Japanese Near Me - Kettering, Maryland

The food was amazing. I ordered takeout two Hibachi Chicken entrees that came with fried rice and vegetables. The vegetables were part of my favorite because it was zucchini onions and broccoli. Really easy usually everyone tries to put mushrooms which I hate and sometimes forget to ask that they not be there. It was a good portion of food for the amount that I spent on it so I felt like I really got my money's worth. I haven't not eaten at the restaurant in quite awhile but I plan to after this order. I knocked off one star because the delivery took over an hour. I was not prepared for the wait. When I ordered online it said 45-55 mins and the app kept telling me that my food was on it's way and would push back the delivery time which I am not sure who's fault it was. But that's the only reason why they got knocked off. Other than that I enjoyed the food. read more

I do a lot of quick carry out here. They are right across the road so they are uber convenient for me to jet over and grab some sushi. I think I had a bento box once, but I'm a sushi gal. They are a bit stingy on the wasabi so I find myself having to ask for a lil extra all the time. Good place to fix your fix. read more

I've ate here sooooo many times and it was good each time and never in life would I think I would have a bug in my food ! And better yet I was asked was I "really sure" if it was a bug in my food as if I was lying or put it there myself...never would I put my worst phobia in some food... I am scared of any bug doesn't matter the size or shape. Then upon arriving because I was told I could get new food or a refund and of course I wanted a refund because I never and I mean NEVER will return here, but I told them I was the one who called about my my food didn't say bug because other people were buying food and I do not ruin anything for anyone else...I was told by the manager it was gravy and not a bug after he looked in my bag and saw the bug on the fork...i'm black and i've never seen any black gravy in all my life if anything black gravy would be burnt gravy and in my case I know what a bug looks like and it was under my rice so I didn't see it until I was nearly finish and it wasn't anything else black in my food either..however we did get our $40 back and i'm never returning just want people to be sure about their food don't let anyone tell you it's gravy. read more

So, the first time I ordered from here they did pretty well. I enjoyed the tempura yam and the shrimp tempura roll was good as well. However every time following, the meal has been decreasing in satisfaction. The rolls sloppy and seemingly rushed. And the ultimate offense, I ordered at least 4 different kinds of rolls this time (despite a clear lack of variety in the offerings)and they were all packaged in one box with no separate partitions of any kind. I am not inclined to patronize this place again and I would not recommend them to anyone else either. read more

Delicious! My four year old, my elderly father, and I were visiting the area and needed an unfussy dinner, and this sushi/hibachi restaurant was recommended to us. I ordered two rolls - the Alaska (avocado, salmon) roll and the Rainbow roll. The rolls were generous and the fish was fresh. My father and my kiddo split a beef & shrimp hibachi with white rice and it was plenty. Under $30 for the three of us and everyone went home happy! The customer service is wonderful, too. It's not a table service restaurant, but they have plenty of tables if you want to stay and dine in. read more

The wait wasn't too long, and the customer service was helpful. My meal looked amazing but tasted okay. The chicken was slightly undercooked and I found a few pieces of hair but outside of this, I enjoyed the meal. read more

I ordered the vegetarian poke bowl and it was pretty bad. This is not how veggie poke bowls should be. It lacked the taste of normal poke bowls I've add and the addition of lettuce didn't make sense. The broccoli was severely undercooked. You are literally better off buying rice and adding your own vegetables. They should add some tofu or actually have some vegetables instead of salad w/ a few broccoli and about 10 peas...Yes, about 10 peas total & like 2 strips of carrots. Absolutely terrible. Do not order this for delivery. read more

The place isn't the cleanest and the customer service person at the counter isn't the friendliest but the food has been okay so far and the prices are reasonable. Nothing to write home about but good for a quick bite to eat. Though I did expect a little bit more food than I received. read more

The customer service was terrible. This one worker got mad at me because I didn't hear him call out my order.. all i did was ask if he did and he caught an attitude with me saying he called it out over 10 times. This was my first time going there, I didn't understand how it worked and I didn't hear him call out my order or even set it aside for me to see it. There was this one nice girl working at the register though. She was the only cashier. To add, a customer had complained before about her order, and he was upset with her. I had nothing to do with her and that doesn't excuse his attitude with me. read more

They weren't very busy when we went but somehow the service was still very slow. Our drink order was wrong twice and the food was under flavored and not cooked to proper temperature. When it came time to pay there was also an 18% tip added to the bill, it's good we noticed, because even with as bad as this was, we still do 10% for the service but, 18% is way excessive for bad food and slow service. read more
