A typical hibachi restaurant. Sakura is run like a military operation with an army of employees: servers, cleaners, hostesses, chefs, and even a robot. However, with so many employees, our time at Sakura felt incredibly rushed. From the fast live-cooking performance, to the waiter quickly bringing us the check and continuously glancing at our table to see if we were wrapping up--all of that rushed service was just for average food. The sashimi was thick; I've never seen sashimi so thick before. The fish didn't melt in your mouth, though it tasted good enough. Skip the potstickers, as they tasted like any frozen bag you could get at the grocery store. The steak and filet mignon tasted good but were drenched in soy sauce. The hibachi room was overly loud, making it hard to hear anyone. I would skip Sakura if you're looking for a more Japanese styled restaurant for sushi unless you're in for a hurried show. Side note: While this didn't affect us, it was surprising to see the chef use the same tools to cook the raw meat, fish, and vegetables. This is a major health concern, especially since they didn't ask about any allergies or dietary restrictions at the beginning. read more
