    Buffet selections

    Visited Sakura buffet recently. I had dined at the Double Dragon Buffet for over 20 years before it went out of business. I looked forward to another Asian buffet opening at this location. Upon arrival, we inspected the interior of the building. There were many similarities to the layout of the previous buffet that was here. The entrance has been remodeled and the center of the restaurant is mostly an aisle now. The buffets themselves were basically the same. While they did change some things with the building, there were still a lot of remnants of the old restaurant, which means they did not perform a full remodel. Noteably, the ceiling tiles looked a little rough. Concerning the food, it was pretty good. They offered a lot of the same dishes that we've come to expect at an Asian buffet. Green beans, chicken on a stick, fried rice, veggies, sushi, mushrooms, numerous steak and chicken dishes, and ice cream all were featured at the buffet. The food was good, but not great. The price was also fair. The service was fast and friendly. Because it's a 30-minute drive, I don't think we'll visit very often. There are at least two other Asian buffets within 15 minutes of this one. Good stuff.

    I came here the other week for the first time, and I left with a full and happy belly. When I walked in, I noticed the pretty decor. On Sundays, the restaurant serves all-day dinner for $19.99 per adult before tax. In my opinion, my meal was well worth the money. Sakura had the usual Chinese-American staples: lo mein, Chinese donuts, fried rice, etc. The restaurant also had a decent seafood spread including but not limited to several sushi rolls, sashimi, mussels, clams, and raw oysters. I thought everything was fresh and delicious (especially the sushi and sashimi), save for the raw oysters, which I was a bit skeptical about. But I ate a few oysters and didn't get sick afterwards, so maybe I just didn't care for these particular oysters. In addition to the buffet, the restaurant had made-to-order hibachi and ramen stations. I was especially stoked to see the ramen station, and my bowl of ramen was tasty and came out piping hot. Perfect for the winter weather! For dessert, I had lots of fruit, a few scrumptious little pieces of cake, and a cup of strawberry ice cream. To my surprise, the fruit bar really impressed me. I'm used to buffets pretty much just having subpar melon and canned pineapple as fruit options, but Sakura, in addition to the standard cantaloupe and honeydew, had lychee, big juicy grapes, and kiwi. The lychee was average but not bad. However, the grapes and kiwis were so fresh and sweet. The service was OK. The staff was quick to clear plates, not so much with drink refills. But it wasn't slow enough to deter me from planning my next visit.

    I liked the food but was hoping they would have crab legs. The one they did have are good with thick gooey sauce. The service is good. The restaurant and food appeared clean. The food variety is good. I would revisit.

    Small restaurant off of Pearl at 130th. Average decor but everything was clean. Server was polite…read moreand quick to check on my meal. Nice. I had the empress chicken combination and added wanton soup and fried rice to bump it to $8. Inexpensive. The chicken was cooked well (still juicy) and the sauce was delicious. Really, everything was delicious. My usual order is sweet and sour duck which is great. Hot and sour soup is another favorite. Inexpensive, delicious and quick service. All good

    **This review is based on a pick-up order.**…read more I called in this order, and the lady who took the call was quick and polite. Plus, the order was correct, so she was accurate too. Always a good thing. The food, however, was a mixed bag. First, I ordered beef and snow peas (I asked for it to be spicy), and the dish was among the best I've had in a long time. The peas were crunchy; the beef was melty; and the sauce was rich -- and spicy, just as I requested. Because I don't eat a ton, I ordered the upgrade (to fried rice, wonton soup and an egg roll) to share. Meh. The broth was nice, but there really weren't wontons in it. Rather, they were ribbons of way overcooked pasta. Not a deal-breaker, but nothing memorable. The egg roll was the typical freezer-to-fryer variety. Not terrible, but hardly plump and definitely not rolled in-house like the good ol' days. Finally, the fried rice is missing something. Not only do I believe that it was never cooked in a wok, but it also had a scant flavor of sesame oil and little else. I'm not usually one to tell people how to do their business. This time is different though, since I am not the only one to mention the bland 'fried' rice here. Use some soy sauce. Use the wok -- and not the microwave. And perhaps, use an egg and a little garlic. But hey! These guys have been in business for a minute, so we 'fried' rice detractors must be in the minority. All of that to say, this place does an outstanding job with the beef and snow peas. But next time -- if there is a next time (I live in Houston) -- I'll ask for the steamed rice and dress it myself.

    Just wanted to update my review how fantastic this place continues to be after all these years. I'm…read morenot even going to try to spell what I had but basically it's stuffed cabbage pictured here and it came with sauerkraut and then I chose speatzles as a side. I'm pretty sure I misspelled that, but I think you get the idea. It's those small little pieces of cooked dough which are wonderful in the stuffed cabbage sauce. Our waiter was quite nice as well as attentive. His name was Bohdan K. And he was very attentive and the place was busy on a Sunday

    Just happened to be in the area yesterday and saw this place on maps so figured we'd grab some…read moretakeout because I'm a sucker for German food. From looking at the menu, walking into to pick it up, eating it at home, this place did not disappoint. Let me start with the menu, everything looked and sounded amazing. Ordered some traditional pork schnitzel, a kase schnitzel and a wurst plate. Next, when I pulled up, pretty unassuming but loved the look of their enclosed patio. Once I walked in though, the ambiance, decor, smells...wow!!! Looking forward to eating in at some point and enjoying the gorgeous patio room! Now let's get to the good part, my drive home was filled with absolute mouth watering smells, my family was amazed I made it home without stopping and doing some taste testing. Everything was spectacular. I do need to specifically point out the kase schnitzel was the greatest meal by far, the creaminess, light hint of lemon... cooked to perfection. If this app would let me give more than 5 stars I'd just keep hitting them until another schnitzel showed up in front of me. Great restaurant. (The waitress who helped us when we got there also deserves 5 stars, super helpful, friendly and definitely had a great vibe)
