I make sure to stop by at least once a week. Service is prompt, the food is delicious (love the variety), & the atmosphere is very friendly. The hibachi is a must! You pick your own ingredients and the chef cooks it for you on sight! The sushi & fruit/dessert bar is the beat. Love the kimchi! 5 stars!! read more

So many options. Sushi and a Hibachi grill. Loads of deserts. Very attentive staff. Definitely a return trip here for me!

We stopped in to check out Sakura after seeing a TikTok video that highlighted the hibachi grill. Upon first impressions, the buffet was clean and offers a good selection of dishes for even the pickiest eaters. The hibachi had a variety of meats and vegetables but had absolutely no seasonings or sauces to choose from. Not a huge deal breaker, just odd. Where things went wrong was when the "chef" used the same spatulas he cooked the raw food with to transfer the cooked food to a plate. This is highly unacceptable and could have had serious consequences had we eaten the food. This is the reason for the one star. No amount of positives could overlook the poor food handling. Highlight of the entire meal was the egg drop soup. lol If you choose to eat here, stick to the hot buffet. read more

My family and i was not welcomed properly. The first faces we seen was filled with disgust. Im not sure if it was the amount of people or our nationality. It was clear that they weren't from America, but yet treated us who was born and raised here like trash. It's clear that this was my first and last time eating here. The food itself was mediocre, but they need to work on their hospitality or go back to there country. Respectfully written read more

It's your typical Asian buffet. We saw on google they have crab legs but that is false. We didn't actually get to try the hibachi section. The sushi was subpar. We enjoyed the majority of what we tried, steak with onions, crab rangoons, teriyaki chicken, sausage, etc... the service was a bit rushed but they kept our drinks filled the entire time. It's not a quiet cozy place, but also not terribly loud. Overall, it was ok read more

Sakura Hibachi Buffet - Buffets Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Food was just ok overall at first. And I'm trying to be honest and reasonable after this experience despite how we was treated and how the food taste during are first few minutes while then starting to wonder and then realize it may have been sitting for a long period of time. Which is why it gave my family diarrhea. Service, and the way we were treated at the end of the meal is why I feel the need to inform the public about are overall experience. I don't write reviews being either good or bad. I sometimes give stars when I have the opportunity through there emails or whatever but I'm not this guy a promise. I'm more likely to give a good review after an experience then going out of my way to leave negative ones. I just usually won't ever give them my business again. So please consider that while using this review for a decision in making this a choice for lunch or dinner. So we Got are bill after are meal. 3 adults and a 8 year old. Bill shows $18 per person then $11 for child. Ok. Then bill shows $77 dollars cash or add $3 more dollars for using a card. So some how were charged I guess 12 dollars for tax. Or they decided to take gratuity out as my added expense on the bill with the options still listed in percentage at the bottom. Not sure how that makes sense or adds up cause it doesn't to me. "Yet I still tip" Then keep in mind it's a buffet. So we just got over charged. We all got water which we never needed refills and I tipped around 6 dollars with one added to left over bills with remaining change. ( Note I'm not discriminate or racist and I'm not a self righteous, self entitled hateful person.) The oldest looking waitress among the 3-4 that they have walking around the restaurant acted like she had is either a business associate or family sort of employee entitlement. So that same woman that took the money, from the black tray after the bill was paid was immediately given back to her at that time with more money added to the tray along with the change from the bill. She looked at me funny after giving her the black tray with the tip then looked at me again then looked at the tray and walked away, very slow looking at the tray that the tip was on like she was trying to figure out her life plan with that amount of money. Thought that was kind of weird but I thought wow, o well . So as I was leaving the restaurant as most all restaurants I try to acknowledge them which I normally do on my way out I say thank you. There was two of the waitresses that was there as the older Chinese woman is walking from the pop machine. I looked at her and waved and said thank you. "She actually rolled her eyes" "turned her head and continued to walking like I insulted her for giving her 6 extra dollars on top of there mystery charges for the amazing service of taking away a couple dirty plates. It was the way she acted boldly and ignorantly that build up to Disgust so bad with those 3 minutes. I wanted to punch her in the throat. I try to be respectful and giving to all waitresses and waiters and appreciate all that work and put forth effort at there job Considering those people- there jobs and there families are important as is mine. I try to give them fair tips from my hard earned money although sometimes in that moment some may not be deserving of it I still try to be understanding and tip regardless. So although I was overcharged, although the food wasn't all that great, telling each other it's sat for a long time maybe because it's late I guess making excuses for them. And although my wife and the oldest girl barely made it back to the bathroom due to having diarrhea. I still took my hard earned money and tried to give them a tip, and that rude, ungrateful, disrespectful self entitled waitress won them the grand prize of tell all about it. Would never have even complained about the food, The explosive diarrhea and dishonest bill. I would do what I always do and I just may have never go back. But in this case she is responsible for my complete and honest review from start to finish of this horrible restaurant. Congratulations. Please take your money elsewhere. Please don't let your family ingest any of the food that is sure to give you diarrhea within a hour from unknown time of exposure and current temp. And don't be victim of being over charged after we have as a total surprise and without an explanation. And do not support people that treat you with disrespect and as if you are a piece crap low life for overpaying for there food and service yet still put your hard earned money that don't come easy toward a tip that was undeserved yet left her unsatisfied and wanted to show me at a time where she thought she could get away it. So When you spin the wheel of chance to win a prize of diarrhea or Deceitful bill of deception and debt at this place of business don't say I didn't warn you!!! Because it's your choice public. Understand either the food service or both will leave a bad taste. read more

This restaurant tolerate some and accept others . Please understand your money they want. The staff was nice nasty they made me and my family feel unwelcome. Please spend your money where you and your money is appreciated. read more

The food was Awesome! Lots of choices on their buffet, especially if you take children that might get not go for their specialties. Their black pepper chicken with jalapeños is Wonderful! read more

The last 3 times I have been here the food has been horrible. It is dried out or over cooked and the chicken has fat in it which is disgusting. I will not ever go back. read more

Good fresh buffet, service was good. I would recommend for lunch. Sushi was good as well

husband loved the ayce shrimp on the buffet. This place is sooooooo much better than Lucky Panda. Choices are fresh, and plentiful. Do over likely. read more

I would have given this a 2.5, so I rounded up. Service was great and really attentive and prompt. The food was average for a Chinese buffet. Nothing to write home about. What was super disappointing was the hibachi, which is a huge reason why we came here. Some of the reviews were really positive about it, but it was the worst among the buffets that included hibachi. It was so bland and you didn't get your choice of sauce. The hibachi chef was really disinterested and was talking to someone through his headphones the whole time. Really he cared less about what he was doing and it showed in the food. The shrimp and sushi were fresh. The ice cream was good. All told, we'd never go back. read more

Great food, great price. My son liked the sushi , my wife and I liked a little bit of everything. read more

Just had dinner here and it was great! The food was very good and the hibachi grill tasted amazing. Also very clean!!

Nice Chinese buffet. Food was good. Hibachi was very favorable. Large dining areas. Reasonable price outside myrtle beach. Small bathroom with 2 stalls and 2 urinals. read more

Fairly priced and fresh! The food is good, the service is good and the hibachi and sushi is my favorite. They also have other food options for children. read more

Food was dry, corn taste like booty, ice cream ok, silverware, and plates were dirty building did not smell pleasant

Be careful of the coupon......buy one get one half price but the small print says you must buy 2 drinks well there is no discount then. We did not order drinks, then they told us they would give us a senior discount the difference was 2 cents. Then we said pick one we won't come back and lots of empty seats. The manager says people will come don't threaten us. Just saying buyers beware!!! read more

We liked it! Plenty to choose from on the buffet and everything we had was either good or very good. This included the sushi offerings. We like Chinese buffets and have been to some not great places, but this is a place we will come back to. read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. Best hibachi bar- lots of choices. We come here often because the food is always good!

Sakura is our favorite! Do you want fresh seafood? I always fill my plate with fresh shrimp and veggies at the hibachi grill. My husband fills his plate with fresh mussels, peel-and-eat shrimp, and fish fillets. Save room for ice cream! The Moose Tracks ice cream is our favorite splurge. read more

2nd visit within a week and it was as delicious as the first time. So it's Friday night and I think that the food replenishment was a bit slower tonight including the sushi station. I'm not complaining, I had my fill and didn't wait for anything, just an observation. The waitress staff was outstanding and refills was always in the ready. read more

Just grabbed two to go box and went through all their menus on the buffet and everything looks dried up already specially their fish so I decided to just go for the lo mien and fried fish, tenders and shrimps. And I paid $35 so dang expensive and the quality of the food kinda below average. Hopefully they will be able to make some adjustments with their foods quality. I'm willing to pay more but hoping that the food will be better. read more

This is a nice location at Myrtle Beach. We were trying to find a hibachi grill where you sit around the grill and the food is prepared in front of you but this one is just a buffet place but they do have a grill in the end where you can get you noodles sautéed with sea food or any meat they have in their counter. I tried the buffet plus the grill chow mein and man that chow mein was off the hook with some crab, veggies etc. The buffet price is ok not low or high but right at the middle with all the options they have available. This place is also good for vegans as i saw many veg options plus some desserts too. On the beverage they have couple imported ones plus some domestic. I would definitely recommend this place for groups or families if you just want to have a laid back evening get together where you have many options to choose from. read more

Sakura Hibachi Buffet - Buffets Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The hibachi chef was really good, the rest of the staff were very friendly. The buffet was amazing, I found several foods that I don't usually find on a Chinese buffet. They have a wonderful sushi selection and it was great. The restaurant is an older place, but it's well maintained and is an appealing place for the entire family. I'm going back the next time I'm passing through. read more

Food was ok, but not great. Good for a typical buffet. Not my favorite way to dine out but my sons like it. Self serve pretty much except drinks. read more

The food was a solid 4 out of 5. Fresh, hot and tasty. Their variety was excellent, will satisfy most people. Service was great. Their staff were always attentive and constantly moving about to clean tables. The interior was dated but functional and it was clean. Would I recommend it definitely, for big parties and when you need something different from what is available in town. read more

After we ate, we went up to pay at the front only because the waitress did not bring us the check. After we paid we stopped at the entrance to get something from the gumball machines for the kids. As we were doing that the waitress came and demanded a tip. Assuming we spoke spanish she said "propina" we were in shock, in the moment we just gave her $5. This is absolutely unacceptable. It's MY choice to give a tip or not for the service. You do not come up and demand us for one. The worst part was that she spoke in her native language saying something rude (I assume due to the fact that her and her coworker laughed right after.) read more

food was ok lots of options good value nice workers felt alright after not to terrible can't say the same about my mom though

The Sushi was phenomenal, However the food on the hot bars although steam could be seen , the food was not kept hot, flavor was lacking as compared to other establishments. Service was very good. read more

Food was subpar. Sweet & Sour chicken undercooked. Kimchi was super sweet & grossly slimey. Sushi was less than to be expected from even a buffet place. Ladies bathroom was disgusting with blood all over the floor. A waitress came in and used the toulet then left with only rinsing the tips of her fingers and no soap. I let management know. I definitely wouldn't eat here again. read more

Surprisingly Vegan Friendly They have a Mongolian BBQ so that is an easy vegan friendly option where there are language barriers. FRESH, abundant veggies! Broccoli, onions, bell peppers, onions, and some noodles and canned pineapple. Stir fried to perfection. Other than the French fries, nothing on the buffet appeared vegan as all the vegetables had dead animals in them or were cooked in butter. Dessert area had fresh and abundant FRESH melon and pineapple .Good price for this area and freshness of food. Attendant never asked if we wanted our waters refilled. Value-5 stars Service-fair Kept clean, lots of seating for customers. Will make this a regular with friends. read more

The quintessential Chinese buffet, all the standards, plus good sushi & hibachi, very clean, friendly staff, we visited at lunch and pricing was fair. read more

After finding we would have a 45 minute wait at another restaurant in the area, we stopped at the Sakura Hibachi Buffet as the wife and I love this type of food. We found their choice of food was very good, and the quality of everything we tried was also very good. I loved the chicken sticks, mussels, honey chicken and boiled shrimp. The wife loved the chicken on a stick, egg rolls and the honey chicken. It's now been 4 days since we ate here, and we have eaten at 3 other restaurants since, and so far this has been our favorite meal. I rate this experience a 5, as the food quality and choice gets a 5, the service gets a 5, the facility gets a 5, and the value gets a 5! What part of our visit get something less then a 5? Answer: the ice cream. There wasn't enough of a couple of choices I wanted, and I found it very difficult to scoop what was there out. Anyway, we lived our meal overall, and it gets my vote to return again before our vacation ends! read more

The food was bland at best and a lot or the items were cold (not at a hot temp). I personally will not return for another visit.

Worse food ever!!!!!! The food was cold and tasted like they prepared the food two weeks ago. My brother got sick immediately after eating here. I don't leave bad reviews unless it's deserving of it. This was the worse!! Do not eat here. read more

The spot we had picked was slammed, and we had seen Sakura so gave it a try. Despite the hostess(s) apparent confusion in handling guests, the wait wasn't too long. The server was prompt, and attentive, but I did take exception to being called sir. Our chef was fun and amusing, classic Hibachi spiel and patter, but well presented and overall good fun. His humor was as good as his cooking, and all the guests at our table semed to have a very nice time. Our only disappointment (next to the hostess issue) Waltham they don't do sushi on Tuesday or Wednesday, the night we visited read more

Last 2 times me and my girlfriend ate we have gotten really sick. If I I'm paying 40$ for buffet the very least I would like is to not get sick . read more

I have been going to this buffet restaurant for almost 10 years. They do quite a good job on seafood and vegetables with an accent on mushrooms and shrimp. They used to do a pretty good job on chicken but now they cook it so long that is tough and next to impossible to even cut with a serrated knife, much less chew. Occasionally, I will try a bit of General Tso's chicken just to see if they have hired an experienced new cook, but I am regularly disappointed. If you like chicken, do not go to this restaurant. read more

As far as buffets go this one is decent. Very good selection of sushi. The skies opened up and we were looking for someplace that didn't have a wait. Walked right in around 6pm. Your usual Chinese buffet plus hibachi and sushi. A lot of ice cream flavors also. read more
