" I'm a huge fan of Japanese cuisine and was excited to try Sakura for the first time. The wontons were delicious and the miso soup was very warming. However, the authentic flavors I was searching for in the sushi weren't quite there. The fish did not taste as fresh as I would have hoped. But, the hibachi experience was fun for the kids, which was a plus. Overall, it was a decent outing, but I'm not sure if I would return just for the sushi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Sakura was something I had anticipated, yet I was disappointed when I arrived. The meal started off well, but the sushi quickly changed that — it was not fresh and left a sour aftertaste. The service needs refinement; my server was not attentive and I had to ask several times for assistance. The hibachi experience can be fun but would not recommend solely based on my experience. I won’t be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stopped by Sakura after hearing great things, and overall I have mixed feelings about it. The hibachi chef was talented, but the dishes seemed overly greasy for my taste. I expected more flavor from a Japanese restaurant. While the atmosphere was lively and the service was efficient, we didn't find the food as authentic as we had hoped. I might try their sushi next time since I've heard that's more promising. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sakura Japanese Steak House last night for a celebration with my family. The chef was absolutely amazing! He kept us entertained while cooking at our table, and the food was delicious. We tried both hibachi and sushi, and everything was fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend the lobster tempura roll; it was definitely a highlight. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family had a wonderful dinner at Sakura this weekend! The chef was entertaining and kept our kids engaged which made our dining experience even better. I had the steak, and it was cooked to perfection! I appreciate the generous portions, and we left feeling very satisfied. I would recommend Sakura to other families looking for a fun place to dine.

" I'm disappointed with my recent visit to Sakura. The service was rude, and I could tell the chef was clearly inexperienced. I ordered the noodle dish and was shocked at how bland it was. The sushi was average but nothing spectacular. The overall vibe was very chaotic, and we felt rushed throughout our meal. I cannot recommend this place despite the positive reviews online. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's hard to determine a clear rating for Sakura. I went in excited but left feeling underwhelmed. The sushi was okay, although the rolls could use more flavor. Service was friendly, but we waited long periods without being attended to. The atmosphere had potential but felt a little chaotic. I might try a different dish next time if I choose to return. " (*Curated Review*)
