They have always had good food. I did call couple days ago and they got my To Go order wrong but no big deal. I've eaten them several times. They're pretty good. I wouldn't say fantastic but for the proximity, we eat there a good bit. Wish they did DoorDash. read more

I just had to write a review! I come here quite often and every time I get the best service from every waiter we have had!The best food! The best wine! Sometimes I even sit at the sushi bar and talk to the chefs who are always a pleasure to speak with! The managers are always helpful when needed! And I gotta say the hibachi chefs are always having a new trick up their sleeve. read more

My husband and I just ate here and we got the hibachi dinner and it was not good at all for the price. the miso soup was extremely watery did not taste good at all. No flavor on the food. Don't waste your time Going here. You can go somewhere cheeper & better. You can go to panda express for more food and pay less read more

Love going to Sakura! I've been here for lunch and dinner! I've done the bento box lunch special, came for just sushi, and also the hibachi dinner! This place is good for ALL double sushi and hibachi needs! It is one of the better ones that I've tasted in NC. These can sometimes be hit or miss and this one is def a hit for me! I love the sushi and enjoy going just to eat sushi most days! My son loves this place because they also offer noodles with the hibachi dinner and not all hibachi places do so! The portion sizes are great and we always have leftovers! The atmosphere is very warm and inviting, I love the decor and lighting. The service is always decent, I never have any issues. On the weekends this place does get a little crowded so if you like an early dinner and prefer not to wait, get there before the 6 o clock hour! This place is definitely worth a try if you are in the area read more

Love the menu options! Lots of vegan friendly options and many other menu choices for those wanting something other than rolls. My go to is the AAC (add carrot) and the Avocado roll. This time I tried the Oshinko (pickled radish) and the Mango and Avocado roll (interesting flavors). The service was great - an attentive and kind high school student. The staff are always eager to celebrate birthdays on the hibachi side making this a great space for groups to gather. A surprising gem of a spot you wouldn't expect to find in this location! read more

Sushi and Hibachi was great! Service was on point, and the ambiance is great for either a date night or fun night out.

Updated 1 year later: still garbage. Steaks will be overcooked and the cuts are not quality nor trimmed. Scallops are routinely overcooked. Basically chewing erasers. They also are never seared. The actual hibachi area where they cook in front of you puts out better food than the kitchen in the back but it's still incredibly low tier. The ingredients are very cheap. read more

Ordered Togo on a Saturday night. Took a little longer but the food was sooo good!! Would definitely go back and highly recommend!

Started with the sushi coming out while they were cooking the food the guy cooking our food split the food give the couple half of the rice and split the other half between our group of 5 and give my brother like a small portion of rice when he only got meat he give my grandma small portion of everything but the sprimp because no one else wanted it my mom and the couple got chicken him give the couple two big scoops each and give my mom not even a full scoop he didn't talk to us or to anything like they normally do he cooked the food and that's it we were regular customers we will not be coming back it was the worst experience I ever had read more

Omgoodness the filet minon melted in my mouth and the scallops were cooked perfectly! Our server was so sweet and attentive. Always a great place for a comfy dinner or a big occasion with friends! read more

Our local sushi spot, clean, close and always a hit for us. The place is always clean and not matter how much the staff changes, they are always efficient and friendly. We've been here both for just sushi and the hibachi side. The food is always fresh and but we are always satisfied. Glad to have a local sushi restaurant we enjoy. read more

This restaurant consistently delivers great food, fantastic service, and a fun experience and ambiance. Even on their busiest night, the staff is on the ball--the hostess, wait staff, and cooks are top notch. It's also SAFE for gluten allergies! They cooked my food first on a clean grill with clean utensils so there was no worry about cross contamination, and they used gluten free soy sauce to make sure the food was just as good as the gluten food. I'll definitely be a regular and recommend this place so highly! read more

We stopped by for lunch on Saturday & were greeted promptly. The service was good & quick. There are really pretty flower blossom trees inside that decorate the restaurant really well. The sushi bar looked like a great place to sit on our next visit. I ordered the bento box & it was a large lunch portion. My fiancé got a side of fried rice & a sushi roll. He got the NY roll & it was good. The fried rice was a bit bland & not too much flavor. Otherwise, food was good. We'll be back to try other food & the hibachi grill. read more

It's our favorite restaurant in the area!! we don't live in Sanford anymore but come every time we visit!

I mean I would eat here if your friends say that they want a soup to share... *inhale* get out of your seat sprint out the door go the the reasurtant next door and get a fudge brownie Sunday! But if not then you should get habachi with eggs and rice witg soysouce it is delicious. But back to that soup it tastes like butt cheeks. Very clean and great service and the habachi show if great very fun and the guy if really nice read more

They do a good job presenting the show and the good was tasty. Would return and I recommend.

It's in a great location, I really like taking my family because it's so close but the food was just terrible last time we went, hibachi steak tasted old and the sushi rolls did too. I've went several times and was not impressed. Really hope the food gets better we would love to try it again read more

2 couples, 3 loved their food 1 didn't. The place needs a good cleaning. Bathrooms are nasty and the floors are filthy read more

I've been coming here for years and it's still One of the best sushi and hibachi spots I know. I really can't complain. Everything is always great. The sweet tea is slipping though otherwise I'd give 5 stars. read more

The ambience here is probably the best part of the restaurant. Nice to have a restaurant in this area. You can get a menu to order Asian food and sushi, which is what we usually do. You can also go to a section for hibachi grill. Service here is pretty good. Waitress has no issues with making custom changes. Food here is decent where we have come back a number of times. Just think that it is in the expensive side. If the prices were lower we would probably come back more often. read more

Excellent service for our group of 6. We sat at hibachi table as they do not have tables to accommodate that many, even though we didn't order for them to cook in front of us. Most of us ordered sushi rolls and they were amazing. Salad with ginger dressing was spot on. Appetizers, nice assortment for everyone's differing tastes. Server was friendly, quick with refills, interacted with us as if he was our friend. We'd hazard a guess it's a fun place in evening with grills running and a good group. Was there for a work lunch, may take the family next time read more

The overall score should be 3.5 stars but no halves posdible so here is the breakdown. 5 stars for ambiance....they have a lively restaurant with these life-sized, lit purple trees that make a really cool date spot. There is a choice between seating at a hibachi table or at a dinner table. 4 stars for the presentation....it was a very mediocre show with the usual volcano, crack an egg, make a mountain of flames show...but it was fun. 3 stars for food quality and portion. They give you an overflowing plate of food that will feed 3 people. Unfortunately, the shrimp tasted powerfully of lemon. The veggies were a bit overdone, and the steak was tough. The chicken was cooked perfectly and tasted good. 2 stars for the sushi...and that's generous. the pictures speak for themselves... Skip the sushi....it was bland, the rice was hard, and it was uninspired. Overall, it's not a bad place to eat but just not great. read more

This was our first time here and we came for sushi, not hibachi. Didn't have the best experience regarding service and food issues, but the waitress brought the manager in to fix the issues without me asking. The manager listened, apologized, and recognized the mistakes. The nigiri and rolls were hit or miss regarding taste and quality. I did like that they had a good selection of fish options like sweet shrimp, squid, and scallop which are some harder to find options in this area. If only they had sea urchin! I will definitely come back to try this place again and hopefully won't have all the issues we had last time. read more

they have the most amazing food ever, I have so many great memories here as well!! I flew in from Germany just to eat here!! it was not cheap! but worth every penny!! read more

My son wanted hibachi for his birthday so I was looking for a good place to take him. Usually, we go into town to another establishment; however, I didn't want to go into town and Sakura is much closer. I called to make a reservation since I didn't know what to expect as far as wait times had went just walked in. We were greeted upon entry and were immediately seated at a hibachi table. The ambience of the establishment is very nice, from the lighting to the interior decorations. The areas I saw appeared clean as well. In less than a minute, our waiter came to ask about our drinks followed by our order being taken. The soup and salad were delicious. We ordered shrimp, chicken, steak, and salmon hibachi, and an order of sushi. Our cook was phenomenal and very entertaining. I wish I'd gotten his name because I'd definitely recommend as well as request him the next time we decide to visit here. The portions are huge (which in my opinion makes the prices worth it). The food was delicious. 10/10 highly recommend! Thank you to the staff for an incredible birthday dinner for my son! read more

definitely not what i expected it was normally cooked chicken with teriyaki on it definitely was expecting something better then what i got for the price not worth the money read more

Another wonderful meal. The wait staff was patient (I got an important phone call right before she came to the table). She was very attentive and personable. The meal did not disappoint. More than enough food and very tasty and authentic. Even had enough to bring home. Husband had the bento box (katsu chicken) and I had the udon. Better Japanese food and more authentic than others I have tried in the area. read more

My best friend is a fan of the hibachi here, she goes all the time. I tagged along to try the sushi rolls. I was pleasantly surprised by the interior. For a restaurant that shares space in a plaza across from Walmart, it was much nicer than I expected. The sushi roll list had many options. I ordered a margarita to help me as I perused the menu. My bff pointed out some martini specials. We ordered those along with sushi. Let me tell you, my head was buzzing in no time. They were delicious, and strong. Being situated outside a military installation, they know how to keep people coming back. The special rolls were huge, and we took home two boxes of leftovers. Next time I go back, I'll have one drink instead of 3 so I can enjoy the food with a clear head! read more

They have really great sushi and steak is really good and every one is really generous

Food and service was great, definetly recommend this place the ambiance is awesome, my family enjoyed it very much,I will. Be returning .

Fast and Friendly Service. The restaurant was clean, and nicely decorated. We sat at a hibachi station where the chef cooked in front of us. The chef was interactive, and made our time there entertaining. I got teriyaki chicken. The chicken was good but it didn't have much flavor. The zucchini, and the carrots were raw. Making the meal unpleasant. I wouldn't go back. read more

If I can give them no stars at all, I would! First time ordering from this restaurant... placed a total of 4 orders for pickup and after picking up and upon my arrival home, to my surprise, there were only 3 plates to my order but 4 soups and 4 salads... the gentleman on the phone confirmed charging for a total of 4 orders. When I went back, they explained the prices went up and I had to pay again, without showing me any receipt or updated menu prices. Sakura management: if you know how to count, don't count with me! read more

This is definitely a decent hibachi spot. I went with a local who knows all the cooks. We didn't get her favorite guy but her second or third choice. Lol. Like I said she's a regular. I liked the cook because who listened to my request for more butter and more seasoning! Love my hibachi with lots of butter and seasoning. This place must also be a good sushi spot. While I was waiting for my party to arrive, I saw a couple at the bar with this huge sushi boat thingy. Looked pretty cool. I don't eat sushi but this seemed to be their spot. They have good drinks at the bar. Okay on to the food...I had the filet and lobster. Yum, yum, and yum! Everyone I was with enjoyed their food. Worth returning if I'm in the area. read more

Jenny the host had a very nasty attitude and was not as welcoming as a host should be. She killed the whole vibe because she also was the bartender. Our cook was funny and very entertaining. The food was good a good amount and had decent flavor. We are hoping Jenny was just having a bad day, don't think we will ever go back but just know Jenny killed our vibe. read more
