    *3.5 Stars* First time having hibachi in years. Waited 15 minutes for a spot, even after reserving the time spot ahead of time. Not the end of the world, but a little annoying. Service was friendly and the hibachi chef was pleasant. Not a big fan of getting refrigerated fried rice flung at your face, but I guess it's part of the experience. Not so tasty if you actually get it in your mouth. The hibachi show was okay, nothing crazy. The standard tossing and cracking egg on the spatula, along with the volcano onion. It was only the 4 of us, so maybe that's why there were less theatrics. The food was well seasoned and portions were large. Definitely enough food for two meals. I opted for the chicken and steak. We got a few shrimps tossed into the mix as well. Fried rice and veggies were good. Pricing is to be expected. Not sure how much it is elsewhere, but expect to pay $40-50 for a two protein combination. Maybe around $30 for one protein. Overall hibachi experience was positive. Food taste and service were good. The wait and lack of additional hibachi "theatrics" were a bit of a let down.

    Well this was the best hibachi I ever had. Not only did it taste amazing the experience was great too. There was a great show by the Chef but a classy show; none of the weird gimmicky alcohol squirting etc. The portions were so generous we had dinner for the following evening.

    This place is definitely a hit or miss. My recent visit here was disappointing. Service was great but our filet mignon and veggies were so bland & the rice had big chunks of onion in it. I don't eat rice but the rest of my party did and they were very disappointed. Sadly, I don't think I will be returning. I left the restaurant hungry.

    Hana Roll (substituted the tuna with salmon) and Viper Hand Roll

    Came here on Sunday around 1pm and the place was packed with happy customers. I was very impressed by how quickly our food arrived. We started our meal with hot and sour soup which was delicious and came with huge tofu slices. We ordered the Hana Roll which normally comes with tuna but were able to substitute it with salmon. We also got a Viper Hand Roll and Udon Soup. Everything was so good and I have discovered my favorite roll is the Hana Roll as it comes packed with spicy salmon, avocado eel sauce and spicy mayo. The udon soup came in a massive bowl and was very flavorful. It came with an egg, beef and veggies. Overall this was a very enjoyable meal and the staff were friendly. Despite the place being packed, it wasn't noisy inside and we could hear each other's conversations. Lots of nice interior decorations. Highly recommend coming here!!

    Visiting Rochester from San Diego we are staying in a hotel just a couple of doors down from Sakura and went there for the convenience. After trying to figure out how to get into the place (they are splitting a single restaurant up into Japanese and Chinese side - at least that is what it looked like), we get into a very empty restaurant and faced with the question if we had a reservation, then do we want Japanese, Hibachi, Sushi, or Chinese... it's one place. Give us a couple of menus... When we get the menus, holy cow, this place is expensive, much more expensive than many places in San Diego - this is Rochester, not San Diego. The food was ok, just ok, not great, not outstanding, certainly not worth the prices on those menus. The service was ok, just ok, not great, not outstanding, certainly not worth the prices on those menus. All in all, the two things that worked was the decor - nice, and the fact that you could actually order more than one Asian cuisine. I know there are better places in Rochester - and more affordable ones. Next time I will make the effort to go to one of them.

    Angry Dragon and Dick Ide Rolls

    Service was horrible, food was great. Our server was very rude, just asking "ready?" 3 times or when she walked over. There were two menus and we were only given one and when asking about certain dishes she would just point to the menu. We both ordered different sakes and she just brought one. Didn't clear dirty dishes to table. Crab wontons, dick ide roll and angry dragon roll were fantastic. Super pricy but I'd say worth it. fortune cookies were very stale and the fortune was cut in half. maybe saving on paper - idk. Atmosphere was nice but kinda dirty.

    Can't remember the name of the rolls, but I remember they cost up near $20 each.

    It's slim pickings when it comes to hibachi tables in Rochester so we decided on Sakura Home since we haven't visited in a long time. The interior has not changed. There is a Chinese restaurant adjacent to them with the same owner. You are able to order both cuisines in either restaurant, just ask for the menu. It seems like the sushi is more expensive than I remembered it to be. Special rolls vary between $15 - $19 each. The hibachi is expensive as well, however, the portions were huge. They packed our plates, enough that I could have lunch the next day (salmon hibachi). Food was cooked well, chef was cool, and they still have the birthday gong!

    Food and service were beyond excellent. We shared mussels appetizer, wedge salad, an Australian…read moreribeye special, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and crème brûlée. Each course was perfect and service from Russell was attentive and leisurely. The steak was charred outside and medium rare throughout. Recommended by our server, it was dry aged and delicious as promised. It was sliced in the kitchen for ease of sharing and we even had a couple of slices to take home. Some au poivre sauce was gladly provided to go. A great meal. Just a suggestion for Yelpers, if you are dining during daylight, make a reservation far in advance requesting a table towards the back of the restaurant. The glare from the front window can spoil the atmosphere! I've added a photo of the menu on the photo page since it's hard to find online.. most everything is shareable.

They told…read moreme that they never had eaten here, and based on my meal a few months ago, I decided to come here again for early bday dinner since their birthdays are in November and December. We had a later reservation, since it was last minute and on a Saturday night. They were pretty busy, but we found a parking spot and was seated right away. Thea was our server, and the team here was exactly the same as it was in August. Super friendly, professional, and helpful when it came to understanding the menu and specials for the night. We started with a cocktail each, while choosing to get one appetizer (pork belly, which I highly recommended) to share before we went right into dinner. It was perfect. The smoked grits and microgreens complemented the pork belly, and it was basically mowed down by mostly me, HA! My sister in law got a steak, my brother went with the pork chop, and I had the Steak Frites. We had three sides, mac and cheese (I insisted based on the last visit), asparagus, and mashed potatoes. Incredible execution! When our entrees were ordered, we asked to speak to someone about a wine recommendation. Chris the GM came over, and he did remember me coming by earlier in the summer which was a surprise and really cool to have happen. I told him that I LOVED it here, having left in 2000 I never got to know Max's until 2025! We almost ate everything, but still had leftovers to be able to take home for another time. My thanks to the group here, from Thea, Chris, and front of house, and to the team in the back of the house, for excellent execution and an enjoyable evening out to treat my family.

We came here as a graduation dinner (I recently graduated from law school) so it was supposed to be a celebration. We were greeted by Laura (whose role was to do waters) and Laura was the best part of our night. Our server Desiree took our orders and we thought it was going to be good experience, but was surprised when we didn't hear much from her (I'm not sure if her section was too big but I saw her most of the time at the bar). It took over an hour to get our entrees and when we didn't get them, they were not great. The steak was undercooked, the salmon was also undercooked, the mushrooms were over cooked and I never received my soda. When we escalated that it was a poor experience, Desiree just asked us if we wanted them to cook it more, but we were starving by that point and she didn't so much as apologize. Then someone else came (didn't catch her name) and she offered to take only the items we hadn't touched off the bill. They offered dessert but we told them no because we have to get up early for graduation. They sent us home with some anyway. Needless to say, would not recommend and won't be back.

    Vern's is definitely one of those spots that's worth a visit! They don't take reservations, and…read morewhen we arrived around 7:30pm on a Sunday evening, it was packed. We were quoted about a 40-minute wait for a table, but told bar seating might open up sooner (around 30 minutes). They took my number and we stepped outside to take a walk around the block while we waited. We ended up getting a text about the bar seat availability in about 15 minutes. Once we got seated at the bar, things turned around quickly. The space has a really cozy, intimate vibe with dim lighting, warm atmosphere and overall it feels thoughtfully put together. We ordered hot toddies to drink, which were perfect for the weather, and for food we got the Japanese sweet potatoes and the cavolo nero pesto. Both dishes were incredibly delicious - flavorful and well-balanced. Just be prepared for a wait (and maybe stay nearby instead of wandering off), but once you're in, it's a great experience!

    We tried out Vern's for the first time on a Thursday evening! We made it there by about 5:00 PM and…read moreit was easy enough to get a table for 2 with only indoor seating available. It's a small space inside but it's designed well enough to manage a flow of traffic for customers and staff. We sat in the back greenhouse area. I think the least enjoyable part of our experience was how loud it was in the restaurant. Definitely not a good spot if you're trying to catch up with someone and your voice doesn't carry. I couldn't actually hear the specials the server was telling us. I want to try out Vern's again, so I may wait until there's an outdoor table or ask to sit in the second level to see if that's quieter. We tried one of their spring menu appetizer items, the Japanese sweet potatoes with kimchi ranch and dill. One bite and I was addicted, these were so so good. We then moved on to the classics for entrees -- bee sting pizza and the ragu-- and we were amazed at how good everything was! The only note we had was about the pizza, it was very soggy in the middle but still edible if you rolled it over in itself. We also had a few cocktails, and while they were somewhat small, you could tell they weren't watered down in any way. Two drinks was more than enough for me. Overall it was a great experience and we want to try it again. If you're someone who struggles to enjoy a meal out where you can't hear much, maybe wait for outdoor tables.
