hibachi of sakura — Restaurant in Ocala

We were in the mood for Japanese Hibachi and found this place on Google. Thought we would be sitting at a typical Hibachi steakhouse. This was not the case. We walked in to what appears to be a mid-size restaurant where you order your food before sitting down. While surprised, the food did not disappoint. The owners and staff are friendly, as others have mentioned. The food was very flavorful and very well-portioned. The clear soup tastes authentic and not watered down. The food choices we made were served made-to-order and quickly brought to the table. It seems that the locals order Take Out from here frequently, as we saw many coming in to pick up their dinners after work. Our family of four ate plentifully and had some to take home as well. May not have gotten the hibachi table and entertainment that we thought, but definitely received the flavors of the food. Two comments as feedback to improve upon are: the fried rice can use a bit more veggies and moisture, and it would be good for a server to check on the table once the food is served. We will be back for more...

I order their hibachi chicken plate... Too 5 hibachi meals I've eaten in my life. Though out central fl. Food was fresh, well packaged. The food looked as good as it tasted. I didn't worry about that yum yum sauce being places it shouldn't be. For the price and amount of food that I was given, I want to say 10 out of 10. Not including the staff was incredibly friends as well, all around great experience. I ordered take out, but the vibe of the restaurant spoke to me. Saying, "Just chill, enjoy your meal." Highly will be going...

Colorful traditional and modern Japanese banners and paper flags decorate this counter order cafe with very prompt service, wide variety and very reasonable prices. Easily the most interesting and healthy menu near Silver Springs. The udon is nice and chewy, tempura rolls good, plenty of seaweed in miso, so satisfying even if it might not match up the the best displayed and freshest in Kyoto or Sarasota- but it’s here and half the price. An excellent find, and not the ubiquitous Chinese take-out with plastic photos above...
