Sakura Japanese Steak House

We've always enjoyed our meals there. It's as much entertainment as it is a meal. Of course, some chefs are better than others with their antics but they all cook the same way. Not expensive; you know the food is hot since it comes right off the griddle; the waitresses stay out of the way but seem to be there when you need a drink refill.

My son and his friends love this restaurant. It is a bit pricey for me but they love the atmosphere. Being able to sit next to chefs as they cook is a real treat for them.

I went to this restaurant with my wife and another couple and was extremely disappointed in both the quality of the food and the service. Arriving at 8:30 PM, we found the establishment to be in an industrial section of town and were a little surprised to see a security guard in front of the entrance. It seems that this is a high-school favorite. The wait staff and chef were adequate. The real problem was that the staff rushed you through your meal. Midway through the main course, the waitress brought out the dessert. Since it was ice cream, it was melted before we had a chance to enjoy it. We also never received our requested tea until after the meal. The two worst problems with this restaurant was the food and the management. The fried rice was beyond bad. The rice was over cooked and, to my disbelief, greasy! How can you destroy fried rice?! Also, I ordered a steak, which was clearly understood by all those around me. However, the waitress heard "steak and shrimp." Honest mistake I guess. The problem mushroomed when I tried to resolve the issue after the bill came. All the manager could say (rudely I might add) was "you ate it, you pay." The problem was, everyone gets shrimp. I got a few more than everyone else without realizing it. I thought the chef was playing a trick on my wife by giving me more than she received. My mistake I guess, but the manager wanted nothing of it. She wanted to argue over a $4 difference on the bill. This was by far the WORST dinning experience that my wife and I have ever had. I would highly recommend that you avoid this establishment at all costs. They have very poor food and an even worse attitude towards their customers.

This was the old standby for high school dance dates. Probably because the menu isn't expensive, but you get a lot for your money. You usually start out with soup, salad, then they start the cooking. You sit with other groups of people around one of the large flat cooktops. The chef starts doing a bunch of fancy fork and knife work and cuts all your veggies up. Then about that time you'll get your rice to go along with your veggies. Then, as you're eating that, they bring out the main dish. I ALWAYS get the chicken and shrimp. The sauces that go along with the seafood are DELICIOUS! So, they cook the shrimp, and inevitably, they try and flick a shrimp tail onto your plate. It's a great place to take kids because it is very entertaining and you don't have to be really quiet. It's a little hole in the wall, and sometimes hard to find, but it is definitely worth checking out. You will leave very satisfied!

This place is a little hole in the wall and a little expensive but so good it's worth every penny!! There is usually always a wait but the food and entertainment is worth the wait.
