We had the hibachi steak meal. On the weekend I would highly recommend making a reservation as the place is PACKED. That also speaks to the reputation of the restaurant and it lives up to it. Our cook was great. Very interactive and made the experience fun. It was my son's first time at a hibachi grill and he had a wonderful experience. The meal was great and the steak wast tasty and tender. I don't care what anyone says, there's no other type of restaurant where you're going to be laughing and having a big smile on your face as you watch your food being prepared. I also tried some salmon sushi. Never had sushi before and I absolutely loved it.

I absolutely loved my experience taking my family of 5 to Sakura. I always worry about eating out with my 3 sons (7,5,&3). When I walked in the hosts were so kind. They asked if I wanted to do the hibachi experience, and I replied that we wanted to do the regular dining because we didn’t want our boys to be a distraction. They kept trying to reassure us that we could do the hibachi if we wanted to. We opted for regular dining, and they offered us a private dining area because they knew how worried we were. It ended up being such a fun experience. They brought the training chopsticks for my kids, and they had fun trying to eat with them. My husband bought 2 sushi rolls, and they were so big he ate about 1.5 of it. I bought 3 kid meals, and they were super large portions as well. My kids loved the Miso soup and their entree. The waitress was so kind, and super attentive. The ambiance was perfect, and I loved the esthetic. My kids loved the projected game on the floor of the lobby. I would definitely go back. The staff made a great restaurant exceptional.
