AYCE Buffet
Jay P.

If Sakura Buffet was a boxer, it would be one of the best "pound for pound" buffets out there. Food is always hot and stacked. Plentiful choices. Once you walk inside, all you see are buffet islands of foods. So choose carefully. I've never had one bad experience when coming or eating here. One of my favorite AYCE places.

Seafood and chicken
Jean V.

Affordable buffet, large selection of foods, and attentive service. Great for groups, as there's something for everybody. I would dine here again! We came on a Sunday, so it was very busy, but we were sat right away. The restaurant is spacious, with two dining areas, so there's plenty of tables. What I loved about this place is that they have a sushi bar and hibachi grilling area, where they cook your chosen raw items in front of you. I suggest bringing a couple of dollars to tip the sushi and hibachi cooks if you choose those stations. There's plenty to choose from in this buffet, from savory choices like clam, mussel, shrimp, fish, chicken, pasta, pizza, salad and soup, to sweet treats like fruit, pudding, cookies, pie and ice cream. Flavor-wise, the hibachi steak and noodles with veggies I got were my favorite. I'd come back just for a couple rounds of that! Next best thing was the sushi. It was light and fresh. The guy was making more rolls when I got to the sushi bar. They make sure to keep it stocked. Some of the less tasty items were the pizza and cake. I did have a slice of warm apple pie and a fried donut, which were delicious! Our server was very attentive and came by several times throughout our meal to clear the table of old plates and refill our drinks. I always appreciate attentive service! All-in-all, this place is a good choice if you're looking for affordability and a variety of options.

Salad and soup
Kimberly P.

I frequent this place with my friends, even went on a couple dates here! I enjoy the food, there's a huge variety to choose from. I usually go during the week because of the great lunch price of $11.99! They are usually not pretty busy during the week before 3pm so the service is really good, waiters/waitresses are all pretty good at clearing the table fast as soon as you finish your plate.

Sesame chicken

The food was completely trash! My lady and I came here since we were in the area and wanted to try something new and it wasn't the best experience we will not be returning. The food was rather dry/ hard not really seasoned. I got the sesame chicken it was very dry very hard it seemed like it was cooked a day prior and microwaved for today's serving. The veggie egg rolls were hard the bourbon chicken was pretty dry. The rice was about the only thing that wasn't overcooked. I complained to the manager he did offer me a discount which was at least a step but it wasn't enough to not leave my review. If you have the extra money or extra time to go elsewhere for better quality food something that clearly wasn't made yesterday and warmed up for today please do so you'll thank yourself later and save yourself the disappointment. Again first visit and last visit just as fast! In my opinion moving forward fresh food would be desirable more options would be nice as well everything is pretty much the same dry under flavored over cooked food.

I've been craving a Chinese buffet. Since COVID started a lot of them have closed or the quality has not been good. I got to the restaurant at 11:20 hoping to get the freshest food. I thought I would give Sakura a try based upon a recommendation from a friend. But this was a big disappointment. The hot food was only warm and the cold food was warm. I tried a lot of different dishes and only a couple of them were decent - fried wontons and dumplings were both good. The have several American dishes that I have not see at other Chinese resturants - pork chops, fried fish, polish sausage, Mac n cheese and fries. Some comments on other items I tried: Terrayaki and Bourbon Chicken - only at room temp despite being on a steam table (and yes I stirred it to get what was on the bottom) Sweet and sour chicken - over cooked and mostly breading Sesame chicken - unable to chew Chicken on a Stick - overcooked

Shrimp Hibachi
Addi P.

Their hibachi style cook to order is always clean fresh and delicious. Service was great and place is clean overall. Good fix for a quick meal!

Did pick up and the food was ready when I arrived (great service) and people were sooo very nice. I did hibachi dinner with scallops, the scallops were perfectly cooked. Totally amazed, really thought they would be tough and just white in color, juicy and a perfect sear-Bravo! Loved the fresh crispy salad and the ginger dressing was so good, not the average type dressing. I look forward to going in to Sushi Bear and try the fresh Sushi.

This was my second time eating here with the first being almost 2 years ago. It was for a…read moregraduation party so we came with about 30 people. Prior reservations were made so we were quickly seated. The aesthetics of this place is so nice and the service is on the same level. The food came out quickly and I loved the portion sizes on everything. Everything we ordered was 10/10. The curry with the roti was a little spicy but still so flavorful. I ordered the veggie fried basil rice and spring rolls which were all amazing. My friend loved her ragoons and the sushi seemed to impress everyone who ordered. The food is plated in a way that tells you the kitchen cares. I did love the little robot that was moving around helping the waitresses. Overall this was a great experience and I'm happy to see Uber Eats offers their rice bogo .

Came in last Saturday while visiting family and chose this place after spending a good amount of…read moretime reading reviews. We were bringing the whole family and hoping for a fun night, but unfortunately the experience didn't match the ratings. From the start, the tone felt off. When I called to make the reservation, the host immediately said, "We don't seat incomplete parties. We only wait 5 minutes or we give the table away." The policy itself is understandable, but the delivery came across harsh and unwelcoming. A more thoughtful approach like, "We kindly ask that your full party arrives within 5 minutes, otherwise we may need to seat other guests," would have felt very different. When we arrived early and asked if we could be seated sooner (with the rest of our party just minutes away), we were met with the same response again, which felt unnecessary given that there were several empty tables. Unfortunately, the service inside didn't improve. Our initial waiter was inattentive and at times dismissive. We had to ask for basic things like utensils and plates for shared appetizers, and the responses often came with an unwelcoming tone. At one point, when I asked for a plate and knife to share, the interaction became uncomfortable, and I ended up asking to speak with someone. The situation was handled poorly, and the waiter did not return. On the food side, I ordered the Massaman chicken curry at the lowest spice level, and it was still too spicy to enjoy. That said, most of my family did enjoy their meals, which I appreciated. Thankfully, a different waitress stepped in later and was kind and attentive--if the service had been like that from the beginning, the experience likely would have been very different. I also spoke with the manager, Jorge, who was receptive to the feedback and said he would address the issues, which I did appreciate. Overall, I was really disappointed given the strong reviews and the lively atmosphere happening around us. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't return.

We love dining from Sake House 2 because the staff is genuine and attentive to you. Excellent meals, superior quality and large portion sizes! We eat-in or go through Door Dash. They always cook the steak the way you want. If the door dash doesn't allow you to customize the order, you can call the restaurant and they will update and make it the way you want, such as without vegetables or without sesame seeds. Prices are exceptional. Dine-in lunch for Teriyaki ranges from $12-$14, (with chicken teriyaki is $12). Hibachi ranges from $12-$15. Dinner for Teriyaki ranges from $16-$24 (including 2x meat, like chicken and steak $24 and chicken teriyaki being $18. We don't like sushi, but they have an extensive number of sushi and put it on bamboo boat designs for how they serve at the restaurant. It's truly a work of art!

My sushi was generous to the point of taking some home. The terriaki was enough for 2 dinners or more although the chicken was a bit over cooked. So good to see an old favorite still going strong.

This is a long overdue review. I have been coming to this location way before the new AYCE sushi…read morewent into action. When I first came in after the remodel I was skeptical, but day after day (hit after hit) Wasabi delivers. The food is AYCE and is made fresh to order. I'm a huge fan of nigiri so this is such a dea. Normally two pieces could easily be 5+ at another location. Don't like sushi? No worries! They have hibachi, tempur, soups, salad, dumplings. This is a great place to take people new to sushi who are discovering their preferences ( please consider the sweet potato sushi, it will be better than you anticipate). Please be warned, there is a price per sushi piece left behind. While I never seen the staff bring down the hammer, it is a clearly written rule. Also, if one person at the table orders AYCE then shares their food you will be charged for two AYCE (which makes sense). The interior is simple but the vibes are immaculate, super laid back and they often give small gifts during certain holidays. The AYCE is approx 16 dollars until 3, their dinner prices increase. Make sure to check their schedules times before heading over. (Try the salmon skin salad)

Lots of booths and tables. First time to try All You Can Eat sushi. Lunch pricing was similar to…read morecost for three rolls but AYCE gave us the option to try different things. First time to try sushi with no seafood! The Ananas Roll (pineapple and mango sauce) was very good. The sweet potato roll was the overall winner! Crispiness, sauce elevated the flavor, excellent roll. Edemame was not overly salted and well steamed. Server came by regularly so wait was reasonable for getting new orders of AYCE choices to the table.
