First time here... my mom had chicken fried rice and I wanted sushi. So I ordered the Dragon Roll and Shrimp Tempura. We started with the Gyoza.... Let me tell you it was all amazing and beyond belief for small town Ponca City! Our server Brandon was top notch! We will definitely be back. read more

Sakura - Dragon Roll in the back and Shrimp Tempura in the front. I had already eaten a piece of each when I took the pic. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Muskogee, Oklahoma

I recommend everything on the menu! The Firecracker Roll is my favorite. I used to be a fan of the Spicy Cowboy Roll, but however, that one too is really good!! Any day is good for some hibachi, fried rice, or a good roll. Unfortunately, on this trip I had to take home an extra order due to some inconsiderate patron who has sneezed all over my end of the table and my order. Dude.. seriously. This is the worst season to be spreading your germs and all that you brought with you. Cover your cough, sneezes or just stay home. read more

Sakura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Muskogee, Oklahoma

We went for a late dinner on Friday night because the hours listed say 10:30pm. We get there at 9pm. I try to never go to a restaurant within an hour of close, so we felt like we weren't being rude at 9pm. We were seated and orders taken quickly, but someone came around and loaded up all of the soy sauces to clean them. No big deal because we figured they'd bring them back. Well, our food comes out, and we ask our waiter for soy sauce. He says "you'll have to wait a few minutes until they are done cleaning them". Okay fine. 5-8 minutes pass and no soy sauce. We never see our waiter, so I ask a different guy cleaning, and he finally brings us little plastic to-go containers of soy sauce. Then we could finally eat our sushi and rice, etc. Normally, I wouldn't be too worried about a missing condiment, but Japanese is just so perfect with soy sauce. Our food was great, but service was really pretty bad this trip. I understand they want to get the restaurant ready to close, and I appreciate that they clean those sauce bottles. But I just wouldn't take those away from an eating customer. read more

For the only sushi bar in Muskogee, they're NOT that bad! I've had a lot worse! I always order the Dragon roll and eel sashimi every damn time! Can't go wrong when you find your favorites! Great service; and they have always been friendly towards me! read more

Loved the food and the ambience of this place. Hibachi service is excellent. The steak and everything was amazing. It's a fun place and has a nice bar. read more

One problem that looses one star for Sakura: Sashimi portion reduction on the bento box. I love Sakura so much, for a good time I was coming for lunch three times a week. Their service is generally really good and the environment is clean with a pleasant ambiance. Their food is pretty good but it's the bento boxes that set them apart. For a lunch, you get miso soup, a really good little salad, a protein of your choice, a pile of rice, and some pot stickers. For the dinner box you get to choose from two additional fried proteins. And the price is soooo good for the economy right now. My issue: They have halved the size of the sashimi portions without adjusting the price of both the lunch and dinner bento box. I am sure it was a decision based on money, it's a business after all, but I don't even want that box anymore. It matters because without those bigger pieces of fish, you are basically just eating a pile of rice and a pot sticker with a side of fish. I didn't take a picture but I should have, I've ordered three boxes that were like that to confirm it wasn't a one time fluke. I hope they go back to the bigger cuts, it was my favorite thing to eat for lunch and I just can't see myself returning to Sakura without that. I would even pay an extra dollar or possibly two for that specific box. read more

Great atmosphere and decorations, professional, friendly staff, and the food was exactly what we wanted. My wife loves sushi, and she thought it was delicious, and I am always in search of well-made teriyaki and katsu, which this restaurants does just right! We were so excited by the ambiance, that had too many appetizers (edamame, calamari, and seaweed salad), several beers (good selection, but none on tap) each, and the several rolls and a full order of chicken katsu, and the bill was still under $60. Im coming back here every time I'm in Muskogee. read more

If you have a child in elementary school you cannot order a kids meal unless the child is 8 or under. You are forced to pay for an adult meal for a child. I see to eat here all the time but they just lost 4 customers. read more

I was greeted immediately as I stepped into the restaurant and seated right away. As I walked to my booth I noticed the beautiful decorations, which lighten and brighten the whole space. The host was also my server and he had a great smile and friendly eye contact. I chose the Dirty Martini to start and an order of Edamame. The martini came with three olives (though in a margarita glass) and was tasty. The Edamame was served in a cute bowl and was a very generous portion. When the Sashimi appetizer arrived, I noticed the very generous cuts and the freshness of the fish. The Turo Roll was excellent with a variety of fish and large slices. It was more than enough to fill me. I'll be back when I'm in town again. read more

The service as this place was top tier! Our waiter was kind and hilarious. It had a really cool vibe and I loved the lighting. I had edamame. So delicious! My friends got sushi and they loved it. read more

Okay so my husband and I got a date night (which never happens) but we wanted to stay close and not go to Tulsa. We chose Sakura and are SO glad we did. We had the best experience! They told us that they only had one chef at the time and we were still so impressed with the food, ambiance, service, and time! We are making this our designated date night place every time! read more

First time at this restaurant. The place is nice and clean. Took 5 minutes to be seated even though it was not a busy day (6 tables with customers and 2 at the bar). Sushi is fresh and very flavorful. Food came to the table in a decent amount of time. read more

Not terrible. Not wonderful. Average at best. The hibachi is fun for special occasions, but the sushi isn't even close to being the best I've ever had. Overpriced to a ridiculous degree. Too dark or too bright, depending on where you sit. The service has always been great though, and the staff is always fun and friendly, which makes up for some of the areas in which they're lacking. The mixed drinks are terrible. Don't recommend them at all, but a neat place for a date or fun for a group to sit around the hibachi and enjoy the skilled chefs flip and flame your food! read more

Would highly recommend if interesthe food is very good and the staff is very friendly, especially to people with disability.

Went for lunch. Great lunch specials food was good and the service. Had a bento with chicken

Really good all you can eat sushi place. Lot's of variety of foods that are not sushi like beef udon noodles. As for sushi: Great sashimi. Great nigiri. Lot's of rolls too. And ice cream to top it all off. I went when the dinner menu was active. read more

The food was amazing, highly recommend the miso soup, fried rice, and the spicy girl sushi roll! We didn't order hibachi but it smelled very good from where we sat in our beautiful booth. Our server was extremely nice and quick with the refills. The cherry on top is the beautiful Japanese decor that gave every inch of the place a chill and relaxing vibe. read more

We have heard great things about Sakura and finally got a chance to try it out. It was AMAZING!! In fact my daughter wanted to go back the next day lol. I wasn't sure what to expect because the outside is pretty plain and in a little strip mall area, but when you go inside it is quiet and nice. They have a hibachi grill side and sushi side. We sat on the sushi side and enjoyed our visit. We started with a mini roll and it was absolutely delicious. We debated on ordering a second but decided to wait on our main meal, but at $4.75 for 6 pieces we were definitely tempted! We ordered hibachi lunch specials. My daughter and I got steak and husband got chicken...I don't think there was anything left on our table! Lunch portions were the perfect size and we were beyond pleased. We will be frequenting Sakura often I am sure, even if it is for a quick "snack" of sushi! Highly recommend to anyone who likes sushi and Japanese cooking. You will not be disappointed! read more

Sakura - Mini Roll $4.75 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Muskogee, Oklahoma

We had the Spicy Cowboy & American Dream roll for appetizers. They were both very good. The waitress & cook did a good job. The portions were smaller than I'd expect for the price & in comparison to others, but had good taste & were cooked to our request. The main reason for not giving this a "5" is bc I made the mistake of using the restroom, which was very unclean. The toilets, floors, & walls of the bathroom could all use a deep cleaning & regular upkeep. read more

Great food and very friendly staff! ..................,,,,,,,,..................................................................................................Love the Yaki Udon! read more

While prices have increased, portions have decreased. Guess it's common nowdays. Our server spoke very little english but he figured out a way to communicate with us and gave us great service. He seemed to have a great personality. Food quality is good with exception of the roll I had. Sushi didn't taste fresh to me so I'll skip it next time. We sit at a booth and ordered rolls and hibachi meal. Steak was cook perfect and scallops were fresh and buttery. read more

Good selection, food was hot and fresh. I had the lunch special bento box with Katasu and it was great. Was in and out for lunch in Twenty minutes , tops. I can't wait to go back again when I'm in town. Update: Loved it so much, I came twice in the same day. Had the dumplings, Japanese chicken fried rice, and California roll with a Strawberry Japanese Soda on the side. Service was just as good as before and they were a lot busier than the lunch rush. I may have gotten lucky because table next to me was complaining that service was slow. (We had different waiters) definitely recommend to those in Muskogee looking for something different. And for the love of all that is wholly , stay away from Applebee's , that places food sucks!!! read more

We were in the area and decided to give this place a try. It's good and has lots of options for sushi and hibachi. We sat at a hibachi grill, and our chef was funny and kind; he put on a great show while cooking! The food was good, but not as good as the show. A few cons: If you sit at a hibachi table, you HAVE to order at least 2 hibachi entrees per party of 2 or more. Our intention was for my husband to have hibachi while I got a poke bowl, but they insisted that I had to order hibachi just because we were at the grill. The waiter said it was a "convoluted" rule, but he had to follow it. I ended up ordering a hibachi entree and just getting an Alaska roll on the side. Again, both were good, but they weren't great. The rice on my sushi roll was almost crispy, but the salmon and avocado were fresh and tasty. The chicken hibachi was cut very small and lacking flavor a bit, but my husband's shrimp hibachi was flavorful and cooked well. Over all, we would return, but likely sit at a regular table so that I could order what I wanted as well. read more

We did the hibachi and it was very good! The chicken was nice and tender and so was the filet. Appetizers came extremely hot and fresh. Not going to like my expectation had been set very low but this place exceed all expectations and we will absolutely be going back. read more

This place is so so ok to my expectations. The staff are not Japanese. It's rather Chinese chef pretending to be authentic Japanese sushi chef. read more

Save your money! We only went because we were on the road and needed a quick non fast food dinner and this was one of the only places open. We got the vegetable tempura for an app. The tempura batter had no Panko breads crumbs in it so it was essentially fried battered veggies and not tempura at all. Vegetables absorb oil so you can imagine how greasy these were! The bento box dinner had a variety of stuff in it, including proper tempura shrimp. At least this batter had bread crumbs but this was clearly a frozen item due to the texture of the shrimp so they don't make their own. This is the only thing we ordered that earned this place a more than 1 star! The Yaki soba noodles were rather salty. When making this at home it isn't even this salty so they must use a pre made high msg sauce. Got this dish with beef which was really fatty and therefore not really edible. read more

My daughter and I have been eating at home since March. We decided to venture out and picked Sakura. We were the only people there that wanted hibachi. The waitress Cheryl seated us and threw the menus on the table and walked away. When the chef came out, we couldn't hear him and he didn't even attempt to put on any kind of "show" We couldn't even get our drinks refilled. It was so uncomfortable and awkward, we couldn't wait to leave. Oh, the food. We ordered the steak and chicken. We got very little of that... and a whole bunch of cooked onions. We won't go back. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere. The bagel roll is the best! My husband and I got it as an appetizer. The hibachi was a fun experience and the cook was entertaining. The food portions were huge and could easily feed two. read more

I took my son to this hibachi restaurant for his birthday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've gone to Kobe steakhouses in the Philippines and Okinawa; this restaurant isn't on their level, but we went for the experience, not the food. Our chef was entertaining and engaged everyone around the grill/table. I personally think the food was over-seasoned, but that is my preference. My son and grandson loved their food. The cost is on the high-end, but you are paying for the show. I definitely recommend this place. read more

This is one of my favorite hibachi places to eat at. I have ate here many times and always order the hibachi chicken but tonight I ordered chicken and steak and loved it too. The cooks at the grill are always awesome and entertaining. Highly recommend. read more

Order a Yaki Udon it was not good, noodles didn't taste fully cooked and didn't have taste. I asked if I could have something different because I wasn't going to eat that. They simply said no that they didn't offer "free testers," what's that suppose to mean? The noodles were no good?! I can't believe them how am I getting charged for something that's not good and that no one is eating. I've had them before and they've tasted better. These were pale... Also Some of our food took forever to come, half my family was done eating by the time the rest came. Waiter never came back to ask if we were ok. Not going back even if it's the only place to eat Sushi in Muskogee. Disappointed with the way they handled the situation honestly. read more

On Christmas Eve we went to Sakura for the first time. It was a great experience. It was definitely worth the 45 minute drive. The steak, fillet and scallops were cooked PERFECTLY. The chef was very entertaining. read more

Hibachi is good, sushi is hit or miss, though I rarely eat fish this far from the coast. Service is always pretty awful all the time, don't bring me my check 10 minutes after I got my appetizer for one. Idk about most people but I order my sushi in small quantities and order as I want them, I dont want all 5-6 different pieces showing at at once. The YakiUdon was terrible, the "beef" was mystery meat, everyone at the table tried it and said the same, tasted awful! Their boba tea should be a crime, I got the strawberry, it was literally strawberry nesquik, I know that because I drink it often. read more

The food was good. The atmosphere was comfortable and clean. I ordered the Dinner Bento Box. OH MY!! This was so much food. Enough for 2 if you were trying to eat a smaller portion. I have a shrimp allergy and was not charged any additional fees to substitute shrimp tempura for vegetables. Service however was slow. My server didn't come around very often which I don't usually mind during my meal but towards the end of my visit and when my dishes are picked up I would expect that staff would come by more often to collect my tab. I had to go find my server who was sitting on her phone. I would return and try something different read more

I love this place, the food is delicious and the wait staff are always so friendly. I went Friday with my husband and Emily waited on us. She was so great, quick with refills and getting our food to us. Pleasant visit as always. I love the bento boxes. read more

It's way to warm in this restaurant, either fix your AC or if you're too cheap to pay the bill, you need to rethink it!! Service was horrible, not our waiters fault necessary, since he was one of two working the entire restaurant. We never got refills on our drinks. It took 15 minutes or longer for us to get our check, after we finished eating. The food was sorta okay, it had good flavor but, all of our sushi was warm! We ordered one fried sushi, so it was supposed to be warm, but the two cold ones were also warm, not good! Sushi at Homeland is better than the sushi here, based on what we ate tonight. Basically, it's better to eat at Sakura's in the winter, don't go here in the summer, you'll just leave hot and bothered, and not in a good way. read more

This place may be lower quality sushi to some, but for us it is the perfect go-to when we are craving sushi but not the drive to Tulsa. We have been coming for quite some time now, and the staff all recognizes us and makes sure we are treated kindly. The service is not always the fastest, but I can assure you that if you are patient and understanding you will enjoy your food without complaints. We love coming here on a whim! read more

If you want a hibachi show this is the place to go, but if you'd rather have a table for you Yourself you can have that too. Very good pricing. Bar, Saki, desserts. read more
