As I live just around the corner this is a favorite place to eat. While it is in the old Churches Chicken location you can't judge a book by it's cover. The prices are decent and the portions very generous, I love the Steak Hibachi with that delicious Yum Yum Sauce! I have never had a bad experience here. I will continue to give this place my business for years to come. read more

Good and fast hibachi in Cookeville! We usually get either steak hibachi or steak teriyaki, love them both. The crew is friendly and quick, the building is old, but clean. read more

Food is always delicious here and drive thru service is relatively quick, and courteous. The entrees come with a side of white or fried rice, sliced sweet carrots and a spring roll, plus a cup of yum yum sauce. This is sit down restaurant quality food in a fast food model. I love being able to just drive thru and grab some great food without having to leave my car. Can't say much about the inside as I never eat in, but they do have seating inside if you're interested in that. read more

Genuinely love this place. Delicious food every time. But I'm pregnant I only get broccoli because the other veggies texture is too much for me. And this is the THIRD time I've asked just for broccoli and gotten mushrooms. Honestly made me so upset. I love this place but please step up the order accuracy. read more

Lots of food for the price! Chicken Hibachi was delicious. Service was amazing got my order almost as soon as I got there. Ambiance is what you would expect from a busy take out restaurant but still nice and clean. read more

The line may take slightly longer than a typical drive through, but it is so worth it! I am not a big fast food fan I would not categorize the quality of this as "fast food" . It is really good Hibachi! And super convenient. I definitely recommend everyone who enjoys Japanese hibachi to give this a try. You will not be sorry you did. God save this country. read more

My boyfriend and I moved to Cookeville about a year ago. We drove by this place quite frequently, but being creatures of habit, we didn't try it until tonight and I am so happy we did! I ordered the hibachi scallops, it came with a amazing amount of luscious, perfectly cooked scallops, a ton of amazingly delicious fried rice, sweet carrots, a yummy vegetarian spring roll and yum yum sauce. The portions are huge, the prices are low ($17 for two of us, he ordered the hibachi chicken) and the food taste amazing! Will definitely go back! read more

Sakura Hibachi Express - Scallops, fried rice, and sweet carrots - Japanese Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

I had low expectations, any place that says "express" tends to live up to that word. Plus being in a some what run down Churches Chicken building, I was a bit worried, but man I was wrong. This place has become one of my favorite restaurants in town, really great hibachi, teriyaki, and yaki soba. Cheap prices, large portions, and tasty food. Every meal comes with a side of carrots, spring roll, and shrimp sauce. Best of all they have a drive threw. I'll probably be eating there tonight. read more

Sakura Hibachi Express - the outside of the restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

I used to love this spot so much but haven't been back since last year, I recommend it to my boyfriend who was in town. So saddened to find when I pulled through to the window that not a single person in the building who was handling food (or even the cashier) were wearing masks. I will not be coming back anytime soon for that reason. read more

As a college student,​ I absolutely LOVE this place! I frequently eat at this restaurant​ for several reasons. The first being that the food is fantastic and you get what you pay for, honestly probably more than what you actually pay for. The staff here are very nice, the environment is family friendly and it's​ just a nice play to eat or get take out! I would like to also add they are really fast! read more

If you like boiled carrots, this is the place for you. If you like fried rice, not so much. The fried rice had rice, chicken, and a few pieces of onion. No egg and no other veggies. read more

Good fast hibachi! Not what you might think by the name and look of it. I think I could eat my weight of their fried rice!! Yum!!

Love this place for quick, drive through Hibachi. You get so much food per meal! Never had a bad experience there, other than the drive through line being a bit slow. But for it being freshly-cooked Hibachi, it's still pretty quick and definitely worth the wait! Have been there many times on my lunch break. Always worth the stop! https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-carnrick-44662a142/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100016962030360&ref=bookmarks read more

The customer service is awful. Everyone who works there is very rude. The boy who took our order didn't even let us finish ordering before telling us to pull to the window so he could yell at us because we didn't tell him how we wanted our steak cook quick enough. We always have problems with them having attitude. Food is alright but not worth the belittling. read more

Doesn't look like much but the food was amazing. I will be coming back again even if I just go through the drive thru. Great job guys diamond in the rough!!!! read more

Makes me sick every time I go and I love Jap food! Also there was a dead fly in the bottom of my cup of water.

We went there at lunch time and when we arrived we were the only people there -- although it was early and others started coming in a bit later. It is set up so that you place your order at the counter, pay, and then the food is prepared for you and you pick it up and take it to your table or take it to go (so it's fast food). So... when we walked in the 2 guys behind the counter didn't great us or say anything to us but just basically stood there looking like they really were not too excited to be there. We really thought about just leaving because the food pictured on a board behind the counter really did not look too great and the staff looked like they could care less. But, we went ahead and ordered and paid. The counter person called us over when it was ready and the food was in closed Styrofoam containers, a couple of tubs of some pink looking sauce (not sure what that was supposed to be for), and some plastic table ware in a sealed bag. I got the food back to the table and opened it up. It was a nice portion of rice and meat (I had the sesame chicken) but it looked bland and unappetizing. The chicken did not have much taste other than the sauce and the fried rice was bland as well. There was also a small spring roll and it wasn't too bad. We ate some of the food and decided we'd just call this one a bust and find somewhere else to eat. The total cost was over $16 so it was not a cheap mistake. Honestly, I don't think the food was horrible... it was just the whole atmosphere of the place was not good and judging by the staff we just decided to move on. We left without anyone in the place saying thanks or boo to us (other than a grunt to let us know the food was ready)... It could have just been a bad day for the staff but it was not a good experience. Would not recommend. read more

I love this place for its drive through service and great shrimp fried rice. The perfect take home meal.

Food is always phenomenal, but the cashiers are always rude. I realize it's fast food, but a smile or a thank you would be nice. Other than that no complaints. Always fast and yummy read more

This place is a little on the sketch side on the outside. But once you stomach to walk through the front door, it is heaven on earth!!

Don't let the other comments on here fool you about it sitting in a warmer... If you go in you can clearly see they cook it In front of you ! Great, fast hibachi!!!! read more
