Their mac and cheese is next to the giant shrimp, that is very dangerous for people that may have food allergies! I needed to go across the street to get Benadryl for my sister because she is allergic to shellfish and had a reaction from the mac and cheese. This is what's called cross contamination, they need to separate these things to prevent further issues! They also apparently don't switch their spatulas when handling food in the hibachi station. Other than these issues, the restaurant itself is nice and the service is adequate. read more

This Chinese buffet & hibachi spot did NOT disappoint we have been here before but it's been awhile and they are great From the moment we walked in, it was nonstop options. We went straight to the hibachi -- fresh steak, cooked right in front of you, seasoned perfectly. Then hit the buffet and it just kept getting better... sushi, seafood, and everything stocked up fresh. But listen... the crawfish?? Perfect heat, crazy flavor -- hands down one of the best things we had. If you're a big crawfish fan this is a great place for all you can eat! And if you love shrimp... you're in heaven. Butter shrimp, fried shrimp, MORE shrimp -- all hitting. Kids wrapped the night up with ice cream and were just as happy as we were. 7/10 experience. Big variety, big flavor, no complaints. We'll definitely be back the service was good and the ambiance is okay, dated but ok read more

There is a lot of good food to chose from between the hot bar and they have a hibachi area where you bring them what you want cooked and they cook to order. The is a plethora of sweets as well that are small portions and very tasty. The hand scooped ice cream is a weird concept with everyone sticking their hands in the ice cream but that's what they have. Our service was very good as she kept the table clean and our drinks full. It does get busy so it's good to go early or on the week day. read more

April 04, 2024 I have been coming to this buffet since 2021. Each time I have come I have noticed slow and steady improvements in their restaurant, the foods, and variety. My old review in 2021 I had given it 3 stars. Based on where they are located, their drive to improve ongoing, and their very flavorful food I am boosting it up to 5 stars. Today I noticed they had a Cajun boil mix on the buffet. Potato, corn, shrimp, crawfish, sausage, clam, and octopus. Very rarely in my many travels and buffets have I come across something as close in flavor as a Louisiana boil. They did a very good job. The food is always fresh. Their staff is constantly going around refilling items. A great dessert area also. Great job Sakura. read more

Sakura Hibachi Sushi Buffet - Cajun boil - Sushi Bars Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

It was roaches crawling around us while we tried to eat our food and the rug is nasty. I don't know how they are staying open and why people continue to go here. It is a shame.. I'm writing this review to bring awareness. I'm not upset and I wasn't treated badly, but the place should not be kept open in that condition. . We ended up leaving we did not ask for any money back because they were already in confrontation with how they were treating a previous customer so we just left read more

The food was really good. However, I got up to go to the restroom and when I came back the waitress was over at our table trying to touch my husband's arm. I could see when I came out of the restroom my husband was waving his hands like he was motioning for her to back up but she just kept getting closer and I saw her reach out and try to touch his arm. My husband said it made him super uncomfortable and she tried to start the conversation asking about his Samsung watch. There was no reason for her to be trying to touch him, and if it was innocent why did she wait for me to get up before asking him about his watch. I have never felt so disrespected at a restaurant. read more

Went on Valentine's Day for lunch, most of the hot food items were warm to cold and should not have been served safely. Especially the seafood items that can me make you ill. Crab legs were old and were very difficult to crack open because they were limp. We got home and all of us were sick with stomach pain and diarrhea. read more

Managed to pull off another visit a week later on June 2. Same super friendly staff. Same as before, and the custom-made and cooked to order hibachi cooked rice was worth it all. The buffet meal was less than $30, for 2 adults. Plus we tossed in a 20% tip for the great constant waitstaff service. J 木田 read more

IMO this is a nice buffet with a wide variety of different kind of food. I have only been twice but was pleased with both of my visits. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is I wish their rating was a bit higher. Maybe their audit was done on a bad day for them idk but each time I went the place was clean and the food was good, so it makes you wonder what the problem was. read more

Tonight was really off. Male employee on our area - was sweeping near us - never changed his black latex gloves when refilling drinks. That is so unsanitary - never offered refills - just not friendly - like he did not want to be there. Usually a better experience- had asked for separate checks in beginning - never got. He must have been filling in as server name said Anna8 and he was not Anna. A smile and graciousness go a long way - think this is the world post covid. Will be awhile if we even return. Hit or miss with the buffet- some items luke warm - few hot. read more

The food was good ,so was the ice cream. The only thing that was wrong was the brownies ,besides that everything else is very good ,absolutely recommend. read more

Just OK, there is nothing that makes this place stand out food wise. The servers are always eager to take your plates but not necessarily refill your drinks. I never feel that any buffets are truly all that clean, you cant really control who is touching what when the general public has access to everything. read more

I've had this place twice and it's really good. I believe we paid close to $11 for the lunch buffet on Saturday. They have a lot of options to choose from. I love their "hot" wings but they're not hot at all. My girls love the sushi bar. On the side is a hibachi bar that you can create yourself and they cook! The fried fish is very good and flavorful. I believe it's Swai fish. I try and not to fill up on carbs and stick to mostly protein when we go. The only thing we dont care for is the ice cream. It has a freezer burn taste. The fresh fruits is good there too. Establishment is decently clean. The waiters will make sure your drinks are topped off well haha. The key is to go on an empty stomach and bust it down! read more

Always good food and great prices. All you care to eat for the price of an entree at other restaurants. Sushi, poke, hibachi, salads and deserts. read more

The food is pretty good. I've been here plenty of times. I like the hibachi area. The desserts are not bad either.

Love the food at this place, my best friend and I try to go at least once a month because the food is always so hot, fresh, and delicious. Aside from the buffet foods you might usually find they have a good selection of fresh hand made sushi and a hibachi area where you can put the ingredients on a plate and have them cook it in front of you. The staff are very friendly and quick to refill your drinks and clear empty plates as well. The single reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because the bathrooms are really not well maintained, I rarely use the restrooms in restaurants anyway but the one time I did they were pretty gross. read more

Not sure where the person who made a bad review ate. We go here almost every Sunday. Food always fresh tasting. Buffet kept stocked and clean. Sushi is good. Choices for Hibachi are fresh. Staff is attentive. We enjoy our Sunday seafood. read more

This is a typical cheap Asian buffet. Food is ok . Just quantity not much on quality. Lots of options. Sushi is horrible. It is ok for a quick meal. read more

This is my go to Chinese buffet. They offer a wide selection of hot and fresh food, even some sushi selections. They also have a grill where you select your food and it is cooked for you. Service is always good as they are quick to remove plates and refill drinks. They are open and following distance rules along with customers wearing gloves and masks when getting food. read more

This place is amazing great food clean fast lots of choices sushi hibachi every type of vegetable fish crab claws all you can eat very affordable must try! Great place for a date or a family dinner or lunch huge salad bar and dessert bar! read more

Okay, this place was very good. It's not a good sushi place, they had very little sushi options and many were spicy. They did not refill the sushi and many were small and fell apart. Apart for the sushi, they had many many options of other foods. The honey chicken was really good, and the crab with cheese was really good too. The mushrooms were also really good. The Hibachi grill was good also, you grab a plate and take everything to the grill and they make it there for you. The people were very nice, they refilled our drinks fast and were very friendly. I would give this place a try for the rest of the food, but not for the sushi. read more

I can see why the reviews overall are middle of the road. The food is solid..Not terrible, but also not spectacular. If you're looking for a host of vegetarian options, you'd be better suited going elsewhere, as their options are minimal and leave a bit to be desired (You'll probably spend most of your time in the hibachi line, which is a bit of a crap shoot time wise, but at least you know your food is being cooked fresh). The customer service as far as the service at the tables goes is pretty good and the staff was pretty attentive clearing away used dishes and offering drink refills, but the hostess at the door left a few customers infuriated and getting seated was also a bit of an adventure...If patience isn't 1 of your well established character traits, be VERY mindful of the reviews!! read more

They have a charge for leaving to much food on your plate now. I stop eating if food isn't warm or taste old. I don't pay for cold food. Tried hibachi side and food was still flavorless maybe I just caught them on a bad day! read more

after my ticket was paid from the meals then my son found some sort of metal ring in the ice cream he was eating i approached the waitress tell her about what was found in the ice cream my son had, then i showed her the object, i then asked if something could be done about this since it was on the employees to maintain the food and desert items that were being eating my the customer, she left the area i was in then came back and said there is nothing they can do about this they cannot give any refund or discount, i then said if you can take money from me surely there is a way to return some of the $111.48 i was charged for eating at this place, she then advised no there is no way. later after waiting a long period of time she came back and said we can take off $3.00 and advised that is a 20% discount off the price i advised back that was barely 10% and only was asking to remove the 1 $16.99 charge for my son due to him finding the object in the ice cream. at this point i refused to sign the ticket i was given, i then took pictures of the ticket. the waitress rushed off to the front. as i was getting ready to go outside the waitress and some guy with short hair i assume is the manger of some sort were calling me and my wife in from of my four kids and other customer " i am and you all are criminals, and if you leave you will be in trouble we have call 911", i advised " good i will gladly wait outside and talk to "911". local pd shows up and advises they call saying i didnt pay for my meal when clearly i did when i had proof i was charged the 111.48 . pd goses in to the facility and talked to i assume is the manger. in the end i had to sign the ticket. i recommend you do not i repeat do not ever go to this place to waste you money or time. if you call them out on something they will get pd involved and not offer any type of discount on behalf of there mistakes. this is my horror story of this place and it was my first time experiencing what they are calling a 4.2 out of 5 facility they need to be shut down asap with this type of review alog with others i see on here about the same place i will be doing some digging on this place to see what all every one said. experience learned dont go here after church and these people are only looking out for themselves so you have been warned!!!! and check your plates and bowls for objects i hate for someone to choke like my son could have done.!!!! read more

The one time I leave my regular spot to "find" a good Buffett for a large family...I am so disappointed. Food is barely warm. Barely food in the buffet trays....but the place is no where near packed. The hibachi is what saved the day. Just skip the buffet and get everything fresh. read more

WARNING. DO NOT EAT HERE. My partner and I flew in from Chicago staying the very nice McDonough area, expecting the local "sushi" place to NOT BE A MAJOR HEALTH RISK. IT WAS!! 85% of the food we tried was STALE, gross and inedible! I went to try some noodles that were great the "first" time and tasted either "cockroaches" or cockroach spray!!" Traumatizing and tried to split out the taste, it would not leave for a while! The bathroom was legit throw up and the person left it there for all to see! We noticed a plate had food still on it! hot an SOut Soup = STALE We even tried to do "hibachi" I choose shrimp and steak..noticing the veggies did look stale...took one bite of the meal and the steak (which looked "fresh and SHRIMP) was AGAIN inedible! The food LOOKS like it perhaps is left in the "open air" and AGES by the time its on the buffet, you know you can tell if a meal is left "aging" or rotting!! in the kitchen which is probably happening. Sprites tasted not real and stale. Fortune cookies were not real and stale. Men's bathroom, my partner said was nasty and doors dont lock. Women's Bathroom had cleaning bleach in plan view! Ice Cream u have to put your HAND into the pails! Yikes. We left a 2 dollar tip only cuz the lady asked! GASSY...immediately when we left, we both were gassy and my partner threw up..and guess what? We BOTH NOT WOKE UP WITH COLDS!! We even alerted a couple to not eat there! MAJOR SAFETY RISK...and this place had the nerve to say "THANKSGIVING OPEN ALL DAY". I have been to buffets my whole life, this is ZERO STARS. I'm a Magazine Publicist reviewing the BEST SPONSORS in the world....this is my Nightmare!!! BEWARE! Dont eat here if you dont want covid or to get SICK. read more

I was given one pair of gloves for the evening. Staff don't even wear them so you'd figure they have plenty to spare. All the items are the same, chicken in a brown sauce. The breading rarely changes either. No vegetarian options besides green beans and spring rolls. Nothing about the experience was positive. Not going again. read more

The food used to be decent, now its horrible. The crab cheese was the closest we found from a wonderful place we loved in Michigan. The fried pot stickers were burnt. I would definitely skip this place read more

I've read these comments and they're an honest joke. It's a buffet. Inflation on everything is through the roof, so thinking you're going to get better than you're getting is just plain stupid. I like it. But I'm not expecting much when I go. And seriously, don't be like the dummy that went right before closing and was somehow surprised they wouldn't make more food. Grow up. read more

The food was good, the place is old, the service was great, I would go back often if I can.

I went for dinner last night with a friend. It was about an hour before close. We were greeted kindly. The food was ok, not really hot. Our waitress was very animated but still a bit rude. I've been before but we felt sort of rushed. read more

PLEASE READ!!!!! Last night at approximately 9pm, a friend and I decided to try this place out because we were near and we saw that they closed at 10pm per this web search. When we arrived and were seated, we approached the buffet to see that it needed to be refilled so we chose the options that we had. We sat down, literally took one bite of our food, and realized that it was on the colder side of room temperature. We stopped and called over the waiter to ask if they were bringing out more food and she couldn't answer so she grabbed the host. The host nonchalantly told us that more food was not coming out and we could take the meats that we had on our plates to the hibachi guy and he could "recook" it for us. Of course being that we wanted a buffet and not to stand in line, we decided to leave. Once we approached the door to exit, the hostess chased us saying that we must pay. We told her that we only had a bite of our food (pictured below) but we walked over with her to the register for her to tell us that we must pay $38 for food we barely eat and didn't enjoy. We told her we would not pay that and she responded that she's calling the police. We told her to go ahead and she did. Once they arrived, she explained her side, we explained ours, and the policemen told her that she cannot charge us for a buffet that she can't provide. Her excuse was that they close at 9:30 which is fine but they were allowing more customers to enter with an empty buffet. The policemen stated it again and she said she'd "only" charge us by the weight. Because we didn't want any extra drama, we agreed to pay. She, with her bare hands, packed our food into containers and charged us $19. The policemen, as well as us, were surprised and we simply paid and left. While I don't think she acted this way because of our race (we are black men in our late 20s), it does seem like customer service and satisfaction is far from this business' top priority and we won't ever support this establishment. Take this into consideration before you eat here. There are PLENTY of restaurants near them. We went to Taco Mac down the street which I HIGHLY recommend. read more

Sakura Hibachi Sushi Buffet - a variety of food items - Sushi Bars Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

Wasn't expecting much walking in. But I left pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed eating here. I took note on how the parking lot was full of cars but wasn't to capacity. We were greeted at the door and seated immediately, the server was very attentive and super friendly my 1 y/o got a kick out of her. The food was really good, better than I was expecting. I especially liked the Hibachi and Japanese chicken as well as the shrimp covered in coconut sauce. I'm no sushi connoisseur but the sushi was great. They didn't have signs on the different types of sushi but I just grabbed a couple and enjoyed everyone of them. Definitely made the 40 min (w/traffic) drive worth it. Definitely going back. read more

Sakura Hibachi Sushi Buffet - Fried Rice, Lo Mein, Stuffed Crab, Shrimp covered in coconut sauce, Hibachi Chicken and Japanese Chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

A family favorite! Large variety of asian dishes, seafood, and SUSH Dessert options are meh, but the food is worth it!

I figured that they would up-charge for Father's Day, and they did. It was $12.35 per person. The waitress had trouble understanding us, but was very sweet. The food was hot and fresh and the place was pretty busy. I enjoyed the sushi, egg drop soup, diced potatoes, and stuffed shrimp. The pineapples and watermelon were also very sweet and delicious. I also had the steamed veggies, stuffed crab, grilled wings, and collards. The collards were disgusting, and blanched, I should have known better. They would have been better off sauteing spinach and kale. The other items were just okay. I guess we got our money worth for $12 on Father's Day, but this is nothing that I have to have or cheat on my diet for. My boyfriend enjoyed the frog legs and the octopus. My son loved the rice and chicken. No love or no hate here, the experience overall was just okay. I have had better buffet food elsewhere. read more

Sakura Hibachi Sushi Buffet - Sushi Bars Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

I ate enough food for three people, without repeating servings, for under $10. Spring rolls, egg rolls, clear soup, miso soup, egg drop soup, stuffed clams, stuffed crab, sushi (all fish, no vegetarian sushi today) rows and rows of the standard Chinese dishes like sweet and sour chicken, honey chicken, steak, shrimp, pork, etc. I don't eat meat so the highlight for me was the build your own hibachi plate section! I piled my plate with thin rice noodles and veggies and the chef cooked it with Thai spicy sauce. I was too stuffed for dessert although there was a very large selection of fruit, cakes, pies, and cookies. This buffet could easily cost $12-15 for lunch but it was $8.60. 5 stars all the way for that price point. read more

Sakura Hibachi Sushi Buffet - Sushi Bars Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

Let me just start by saying please disregard all of the negative reviews regarding this buffet. These negative reviews were clearly written by angry old folk. I've been to darn near every Chinese buffet in Georgia and I have yet to experience the hospitality and quality of this establishment. The food was slap darn bussin. I mean dang near perfection. Very clean environment with many options on the buffet. I'd recommend it 100%. Heck I'll make the hour and half drive back out here just to experience this again!! read more

OK.. it is mainly a Chinese buffet. It has lots of options, more at dinner of course. The hibachi grill is great. Pick what you want including sauce, meat and veggies and chow down. Adding pork to hibachi would a nice addition. This is NOT a great sushi place. That said, they have a nice selection and you can try different things. I recommend giving this place a try. Service is usually quite good and your drinks are refilled quickly which I find often an issue at buffets like this but these folks seem to have it down. Always remember to tip our server. Even at a buffet.. perhaps especially at a buffet since they still only make $2.13 an hour and depend on tips to pay the bills. I have never seen this place very crowded and never a wait. Food is always refilled quickly and it hot. read more
