Fun place to go for a large group or family party. Lively experience and solid sushi and Japanese cuisine. Plus has a bar.

Worst sushi I have ever had in my life. Service was 6/10. The spicy tuna roll tasted like it came out of a dystopian factory. It definitely was NOT freshly made. Nothing about it was fresh. I ordered a custom roll. Additionally, with tuna, cucumber, avocado inside, and salmon on top. They made a roll with a tiny piece of salmon, large chunks of avocado, and super thinly sliced cucumber and tuna on top. The roll fell apart. The tuna was dry and weirdly colored. It was not enjoyable. It was the blandest sushi I've ever had in my life. The only thing that's good about their sushi is that the ginger they serve isn't dyed pink. If I return I'll probably only order a water and thinly sliced ginger. read more

There was a roach on the boxes that we were about to take home. Asked for a refund but were told because the roach was "not on our table" we did not get the refund. The food was mediocre at best, as well. read more

Awesome food & great services! I loved steaks scallops & my wife had chicken Teriyaki. sushis are really great. read more

I had a sit-down lunch at Sakura with work colleagues a few Fridays ago. We sat at one of the tables (not at the hibachi grill or at the sushi bar). Food was pretty good. We shared vegetable tempura and a California roll. I had sashimi - white tail, salmon, tuna - and a couple of tobiko and masago sushi pieces. Our waitress was nice. We asked for separate checks and there was no issue. Inside looks cute inside. I'm curious to see what the hibachi experience is like; I'd maybe check it out in the future. read more

1st off the serving size of the fried rice for $9 is almost non-existence, second the restaurant doesn't follow instructions as they were instructed to make the fried rice spicy and to add shrimp and they completely disregarded my request. The entrees that was ordered was the New York strip and filet and again the restaurant did not follow the instructions/request. Very underwhelming read more

Sakura - Filet Mignon - Japanese Near Me - Sicklerville, New Jersey

Great fun place to have good food. The show of making the food is usually just as good as the food itself. Would get a five star rating if they didn't automatically add a nice tip (then ask for another). read more

What a waste of time and money. My son and I ordered the filet and chicken, filet medium. The first time he took it off it was still raw, had a little chill event he finished cooking all the food and then put our back for about 30 seconds. Guess what? STILL RAW! It wouldn't have. When so bad had the rest of food tasted good, but everything was bland, no flavor. No sesame oil used, almost no garlic or any MSG. The cook was nice enough, but not good at his job. The restaurant seemed dirty and dingy too. 2 thumbs down, DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

It was suggested that I come here and I wanted to show the kids a different experience. We arrived right as they opened and had a party of 2 adults and 4 kids. We went on Veterans Day and had the pleasure of sitting with a gentleman who engaged us in great conversation about his time in Korea and the military. Well the experience and entertainment was amazing. The kids really enjoyed it although the younger kids were afraid of the fire and took some time for them to open up again. The food was delicious. Everything was cooked to order and had flavor to it and the best part is warming it up the next day and eating it. The only issue we experienced was with our check and the manager and waiter promptly addressed and corrected the mistake. read more

We were heading to Roadhouse for dinner but the wait was long (very much worth the wait though!) However this was not. They hubs and I had chicken teriyaki meals. The chicken was overdone and not very hot and we waited awhile. The waiter was so nice and attentive though. The food was just ok and for $25 a plate not really food. The Hibachi is probably way better and maybe sushi (we aren't fans) but not the best. I'll wait for Roadhouse next time! read more

The food was so good and so flavorful it felt like my mouth was in heaven but besides that I think that the chef had a lot of attitude and he was very demanding he also tried to force my sister to eat shrimp as well as me. I'm gonna rate a 3 because of how good the food is but besides the food I would've rated it a 1 read more

We took our family to Sakura last night. Never again. The bill was $170.00+ and the food was horrible. I had the chicken teriyaki with fried rice. It was lukewarm with some pieces of chicken cold. The taste was equal to something bought in the frozen section at any supermarket. My husband had the chicken and sirloin. No flavor and the steak tasted steamed. My twins had sushi and it had absolutely no taste. They had a California roll and a salmon roll. My wine tasted thick and oily. I'm really disappointed because my girls love sushi and I haven't found any other places nearby to buy it for them. And the table was sticky. read more

Definitely my favorite hibachi spot. The food is always yummy and the service is decent. Due to Covid, they're using a lot of styrofoam and I'm not loving that. I've been to a lot of restaurants and most are still using normal plates, or maybe just switching out for plastic utensils. Styrofoam is a no-go in my book. read more

THIS PLACE HAS ROACHES DON'T EAT HERE! I don't leave reviews. But I went to this restaurant for the first time on September 27, 2024. The waiter welcomes us and ask for our order, I grabbed the menu AND A ROACH FELL ON MY LEG! No joke. Completely disgusting. We go to the hostess in the front and ask a manager to tell them about it. We tell her and the manager just said sorry, nothing else. I wouldn't eat here at all. Disgusting. read more

I went here today and had the worst experience ever. I don't even want to talk about what happened because it was just beyond me. All I can say is I was argued with over my food being cold and the reasoning was "everything is cooked separately, therefore sometimes things come out cold but not ice cold". My $40 filet mignon was cold and I GOT ARGUED WITH. When I said I was over it and wanted to leave and just pay for what I got, I was charged $20 for my drink and for the hibachi soup and salad. Which I didn't even eat. I always push business to this place and rave about how much I love it because I'm a frequent customer. But after my experience today, I won't be back. Believe me! read more

Had a great experience. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Very pleasant. I am very picky in terms of my sushi. Everything I got tasted very good. Was fresh. Seaweed wrap was not tough. Had the Blue Moon roll, Unagi, tuna, California roll and smoked salmon pieces. All were really good. Even the ginger was fresh. Highly recommend. read more

Our first visit there. We were immediately provided a table - - no waiting. Server was very friendly, personable and checked on us throughout our meal. My wife and I both had the chicken and shrimp hibachi combination which came with soup and salad. No complaints about the food. Cost of the meal was a bit expensive, but I could say that for just about every other place today. I would certainly go back for another meal. No issues with Sakura. read more

Tried calling for over an hour to order take out. Decided to pack up the kids and just drive over and place the order. After waiting 15 minutes for someone to even acknowledge that I was standing there I let them know their phone isn't working. She told me told she is too busy to answer the phone. So I said okay I'd like to place an order for take out. She then tells me they are too busy for take out. If they are that busy maybe they should be answering the phones to let customers know. Every time we try to eat here it's always some kind of issue. They officially lost our business. read more

The food is always consistent. We always have a nice time at Sakura's. It is fun to watch our food being cooked the chef was very nice to everybody at our table. They also double check for allergies to food this is a great practice. We will go again. read more

Arrived 645 for 7pm Saturday reservation for 2. We waited in line 5 minutes to be seated. Staff seats another reservation for 2 who just walked in.. We bring this up but staff says nothing. Table and seats were clearly not wiped - quite dirty actually. Avoid this location. It's way too busy/overwhelmed for Saturday date night. And service was sparse. We walked out after waiting 15 min for staff to take our order. read more

Came here on a date night with my husband. Seated right by the door on a freezing night door kept gusting air. Food was cold. Never being here before the menu was confusing and waitress didn't speak enough English to help. read more

3 people in my party, including myself got sick from this place. It is not very clean and we shouldn't thought twice about eating here. The chef was mediocre too. read more

Friday night dinner disaster. At first I thought they were understaffed as someone called out or something. I read a few recent reviews and realized it is the norm. They had one person bagging and checking out takeout and doing all of the non hibachi table service. She was literally running around. The 1 sushi chef was moving so slowly it seems he was trying to make a point. After waiting an hour for sushi for the server told us they only have one sushi chef tonight, she should have told us that before ordering we would have gotten something else. The plates and cups were styrofoam and the utensils plastic. Maybe COVID provisions? They brought our appetizer the same time as the bill!? Overall a terrible experience. read more

A drink and a coors light cost $20! Absolutely ridiculous! The Sprite soda had a bad taste. Portions are small. The chef was the only good thing about this night. We will never go back read more

If I could give this visit 0 stars I would. I am very disappointed at the price gaging that took place when I asked for no carrots in my rice, but that they could give me a few extra onions. The waiter said they do not do substitutes, but that it would be extra to add onion. Well, I said ok. However, I never imagined in a million years that that extra onion would cost me $7.50. Yhat's right. You read it right, $7.50! When I asked the manager, she said that is the way we do things here. She went on to say that if you go to Red Robin you only get a little onion, but here we give slot and we add spices and glaze. Doesn't everybody do that? Unbelievable! She went on to say how prices have gone up to which I said I understood, but the waiter should have disclosed that "extra" meant $7.50. Come on. Who's pay g $7.50 for a little extra o ion??? To top it off, we ordered appetizers that never came and when questioned the waiter said the appetizers are added to your meal plate when ordering, not before the meal, on a separate plate. This was unacceptable. The word "appetizer" means something that comes out before the main dish. If your main dish already has shrimp or mushroom and your appetizer was supposed to be separate shrimp or mushroom, how would you know if you received your appetizer if they include on your entree plate with the other shrimp and mushroom. Sounds suspect. Don't you think? I have eaten here before and that was not how service was provided. Oh, and didn't tea at restaurants like this used to be free. JS. Needless to say, we will not be returning, nor leaving a tip. Poor customer service. read more

This is a franchised large format Japanese Hibachi house that also offers sushi and a few "fusion" offerings from China and Thailand. This style restaurant seems to be coming into fashion on the East Coast, although it is more played out on the Left Coast. This one is apparently under new management, and they are attempting to make the facility more comfortable and attractive. They have done a good job on the creature comforts, and the service is also attentive, except for the minor language difficulties in understanding each other through the Korean and South Jerzee accents. I was the guest this night, and my hostess did all the ordering. I opted for the sushi side of the joint, although the Hibachi room was more active and colorful, especially when they performed their volcano show with the ball of fire shooting into the air. Luckily, we could see that from the safe distance on the far side of the room. The Clear Soup was quite good as part of the dinner package. The Sashimi platter (Deluxe?) was ample with a nice variety of well sliced fresh fish. They all had good taste, but I would have preferred them slightly cooler. I tasted all the offerings, but was not feeling compelled to finish them. The Rolls (Sorry. The names were not disclosed to me) were okay, but not exciting. Typical sushi rolls, but why the chef put cream cheese in it is beyond me. Do they even have that in Japan? This is not something I would consider ordering on my own. Maybe this is what is popular in this part of South Jersey, or because it is close to Philly, cream cheese is a concession to local culture. Fish and cream cheese? No. Thank you! I was happy to have dinner with a friend, and content to let her treat in return for something I handled for her. Still, something more authentically Japanese would tempt me more than this Korean version of an Americanized Japanese Hibachi/Sushi store. It just didn't hang together for me. read more

Went here today for lunch. We were the first to arrive, and just opted for the regular menu. Our server was very nice and he made sure we were well-taken cared of. We had the sashimi sampler, spider appetizer (soft shell crab), shrimp tempura, and shumai. The star of our meal was the soft shell crab, definitely a must try! We loved the sashimi too! read more

Yummy, fresh food and sushi! The habatch is so much fun! I like going to the habatch, bar and tables, it depends on how many people I am with, and what I want to eat. read more

I recently went to Sakura since it's near my house and it was ok, not great and a little pricey. Sushi/Sahimi 4 stars so if that's what you like, it's a good, fresh choice. I had some vegetarian rolls and soup which were good, not great. I wanted several other items on the menu but they were not available (pork sliders, avocado salad) The Bad - heavy grease smell throughout from the hibachi side. Overall, it is a Chinese interpretation of what Japanese food might be so for me it was not that great an experience. For $70, I could have had a better experience and more food elsewhere. read more

I went yesterday for my husband's birthday with a party of 8. The food and service were both great. After dinner we had after dinner drinks at the bar, the bartender was engaging and gave us ideas what to try. Definitely try to out of control roll that is lit on fire. Delicious and fun! read more

Best hibachi place I've had so far! Great food and entertainment I would recommend eating here. read more

This is the best Hibachi I've ever had! I drive 45 minutes just to eat at this place. I still haven't found a place that beats it. Also, they need to open one in the philadelphia area. read more

Awesome place, the food is really good and the staffs are all funny and put on an a great show. Its a little pricy but worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Run fast!!!Service is terrible!!! As a black man thats mild mannered and have provided plenty of business for years. Never felt so blatantly disrespected. To allow a family to be seated before me even though I arrived first. Then to be told I need a reservation or couldn't be seated. RUDE RUDE! read more

I took my daughter out on a date for my birthday. The seating for the two of us wasn't the best. We should have been moved over at least one seat just so we could be able to clearly see the cook doing his thing. There was adequate room and spacing available. The food came out nicely. I ate the remainder the following day. And it was even better, then. read more

First time at Sakura. I had the filet and shrimp with fried rice. Meal was very good and enjoyed. Will be back

Service was horrible. One waiter for 8 tables. Food came late and tasted bad. Worst Japanese food I've ever had

Staff is fun/funny with a couple things I haven't seen before at hibachi dinners. Wait staff could have been more attentive with refills/chopstick requests, etc. Food though...salty! I saw no hoisin sauce used, all soy. They need to go low sodium and maybe do the same with their herb butter. Ginger dressing for salad wasn't good either, seemed like it wasn't home made Also, I'm used to Mt Fuji in Deptford and getting both noodles and rice rather than one or the other. Mt Fuji is much better! read more

Terrible service. Food was burnt. It started with me asking if they had a noodle dish on the main menu for my daughter who didn't want hibachi. The server says, "does this look like Chinese take out to you"? Correction SIR! There's ramen, udon and yakisoba. He says he doesn't think they make those anymore. PS... they do. Ordered a sushi roll but asked for cream cheese to be added. He brought it way late and I said there's no cream cheese. He said yes there is. Took a bite. No there isn't. He comes back like 30 minutes later after I flagged him down. I gave it back to him to take off my bill. The guy cooking never used an oil or butter on our meat. He threw it on that hot, dry grill and burnt it, adding the tiniest bit of butter later. No show. And he dumped yum yum sauce on our fried rice. Weak drinks. Never got our water refilled while we sat. Another waiter told him to. I watched him dump a pitcher of pop and fill it with tap water and bring it over. Never got take out boxes. Had to go get my own. He printed the bill for one couple and left us. Had to wait 20 minutes to get his attention to get ours. Never again. read more

First off, they served us on paper plates!!! Food came out very cold, chicken was very cold and dry. Waiter seemed like she didn't want to even take our order, she kept trying to run away while we were giving her our order. Once the food came to us, it was cold to the touch. (And on a paper plate). Once brought to waiters attention, she replies "okay so what do you want me to do". Instead of quickly fixing the problem, she wanted to argue with us saying that they're super busy, and that they can just heat it up for us in the microwave. This was unacceptable so we told the waiter we were just going to leave. Waiter said we couldn't leave without paying! After this we were done, she said she was going to get the manager but we were not able to sit there and wait. We left. Horrible customer service, horrible food, expensive prices for no reason. Bathroom was filthy as well, mask and toilet paper all over the floor throughout the bathroom. Had to kick it off my shoe a couple times. read more
