I went to Sakura this past Wednesday night and was scammed out of $20
It was not very busy when we placed our orders, however, it took over 20 minutes for our orders to come out. We noticed several other guests who came after us received their orders before us. Even after a mediocre meal with an even longer wait time, I still tipped our waitress 25%+! I left cash, $80 for a $63 bill, on the table and walked out after waiting too long for the waitress to take our card. As we were walking into the parking lot, our waitress chased us down, screaming at us. She said we were $20 short, which was absolutely not the case. My girlfriend and I both counted the amount of cash left on the bill, and it was enough for the bill and tip. I used to enjoy this restaurant but I am NEVER coming here again and I advise everyone else the same unless you want to be scammed out...
Read moreI recently dined at Sakura sushi and hibachi and it was an unforgettable experience!

Service was so good staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the cuisine. They even gave great recommendations for sake pairings! If you’re looking for top-tier Japanese cuisine with an elegant atmosphere, this is the place. 10/10...

Amazing and efficient service, excellent food, a pleasantly casual atmosphere, and great lunch time deals. Plus, instead of rice they will wrap your sushi in cucumber!
My only drawback is that I've eaten better hibachi fried rice and chicken elsewhere. Both taste under seasoned, but I can't quite pinpoint what's lacking in either. I recommend the salmon if you do get a hibachi dinner (assuming you're ready to take a chance on the rice). Regardless, their sushi is delicious! My favorites are the Rock n Roll (replace snow crab for crawfish) and the...
