Mardi Gras roll!

I don't get to make it to The Sakura Japanese Restaurant Very often. I live about 45 minutes away, but the visit is Always Great. I love their food, atmosphere, and their staff.My favorite is the Joyce Roll. If you haven't tried it, you don't know what you're missing. 5-☆ Experience

The sushi my family ordered smelled really fishy and did not look fresh. I ordered the hibachi steak with extra vegetables. I did not get the extra vegetables but had to pay the three dollars more anyway. My wife ordered the filet hibachi and both of our steaks looked the same, over cooked and covered in teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds. We will not be going back.

We had a very nice dinner. The food was good. It was super packed and I think they were understaffed so it took longer than expected. Our server did amazing condisedering the large parties that she was also catering to. The rolls were super massive. 4 rolls could easily feed three different people. I will be back and look forward to trying all the things. My girlfriend gave it two thumbs up. Will be back.

I went with my family for a birthday event. As we was there, we was greeted by a waitress who didn’t tell her name. It seemed like she was rushing us to order our drinks and food. During our time there, everytime we asked a question, the waitress had an attitude (it was all our first time there). She also barely checked up on us during our time there. Our food came at the different delayed times as well. It was unpleasant and not hospitality place.As I searched the menu, the dinner box is what’s I choose. I didn’t like the dinner box because you can’t choose which sushi items etc you want in your box. It’s basically a soup and salad (which is made up of soup (watered down) and salad (store bought salad mix) with dressing. The food didn’t taste very well. Not only did that disappoint, but the chicken I ate the meal with was basically a grilled chicken. A drizzle of sauce with sesame seeds on top. There was no love from the meal.We was only allowed to have a certain amount of refills on drinks as well. I would not choose this place again due to service and food items presented. Such a bummer for a birthday dinner. I would not go again.

Not a good experience at all. We ordered online and asked for no fish eggs, no mayonnaise on or in anything. We got everything covered in fish eggs. Even the vegetarian futomaki had fish eggs on the end pieces due to their lack of QC. They probably use the orange-dyed grossness to cover the poor quality of the fish. Even the Cali roll had barely any crabstick in it and that fake crab! Service at the restaurant was also poor; went to pick up and the staff just stared without even a hello until we went to the bar (no signs to tell you to go to the bar, no staff pointed it out or anything). Complete waste of money.Edit-restaurant did refund for the rolls we trashed (most of our order) which was appreciated.

The dirtiest Panda in all of America. There is hair in the food, it is better not to go to the toilet, there is dirt on the products from dirty burnt dishes.

Went in for my boyfriend's birthday. The restaurant was clean and quiet. Our waitress was nice and helpful. I got the spicy tuna salad appetizer. It was good. We got 6 sushi rolls. Pretty good. Had to ask for no sesame seeds, and it was not a problem.

This Japanese restaurant is so beautiful. And as my daughter was singing this, what imagine dragons would say “ oh how I wish that you were here” there is something for everyone, pork mien for my dad, Raman for me, sushi for my kids, rice for our little vegetarian. It’s also so close to other shops, it’s just so perfectly situated
