Sakura is absolutely fantastic. We chose the regular dining option instead of the teppanyaki experience, and everything from start to finish was excellent. I ordered two specialty rolls, my husband went with one of the bento boxes, and our kids ordered California rolls. What we didn't realize was just how much food everything came with. My husband's bento box even included California rolls on top of a generous spread of other items--so much food that we probably could've just ordered one roll for the kids instead. Lesson learned! The sushi rolls are noticeably larger and more filling than at most sushi spots we've been to, with more pieces per roll. We ended up taking home multiple doggy bags because there was simply no way to finish everything in one sitting. If you're coming here, definitely bring your appetite--you truly get your money's worth. The atmosphere is great, prices are reasonable, portions are huge, and the quality is excellent. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend. read more

Food pictured were good! Not the best I've had but my husband and I enjoyed the food. He enjoyed his ramen. The sushi was mid, like any sushi roll. However, the service we had was great. Our waitress was very kind and accommodating to our requests, such as substituting the gyoza with our ramen with tonkatsu! We sat in their dining tables but I love the lively ambiance, especially from the teppanyaki side. There's always a birthday going on whenever I have visited in the past and all the cooks were usually very lively and fun. A great place to go after shopping or watching a movie! read more

Sakura Chaya is one of those rare hometown wins. The kind of place that grows organically, earns loyalty the hard way, and becomes a true local gathering spot without trying too hard. Walk in and you feel it immediately. Familiar faces, easy conversation, and a dining room that works equally well for a quick weeknight meal or lingering with friends. This is not trend chasing. It is consistency, care, and respect for the basics done right. The food tells the same story. Clean flavors. Quality ingredients. No unnecessary distractions. My go to is the sashimi, and it delivers every time. Fresh, properly cut, and thoughtfully presented. The fish tastes like it should, pure and unmasked, supported by crisp greens, clean accompaniments, and balance instead of excess. It is the kind of dish that signals confidence. When a restaurant can serve sashimi this straightforward and this good, you trust everything else on the menu. Saruykaya feels home grown in the best sense of the word. A neighborhood anchor that brings people together, respects the craft, and keeps standards high without losing its soul. In a town full of options, this is the place you return to. Not because it is flashy, but because it is dependable, welcoming, and genuinely good. read more

Sakura Chaya Clovis - Sashimi Dinner platter - Teppanyaki Near Me - Clovis, California

enjoy coming here; reasonably priced. During busy times you just have to have patience, otherwise great food. friendly staff.

Food was delicious and the teppanyaki guy was great. He put on a great show and because it was so dark in there, the fire lit up the table and looked very cool. No complaints there. The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because we came here for my friend's birthday and we kept hearing the waiters sing happy birthday to the other tables, but when it came to my friend's birthday, they said all the waiters went home for the day. Really? Within 10 minutes, there was no one to sing happy birthday to my friend? We mentioned it was her birthday when we sat, we mentioned it to the server during the meal, and we had to remind them after the meal as well. All they did was bring out the melted ice cream cup to her that they admitted they forgot about. I want to give this place 5 stars, but I did not have a 5 star experience. read more

Mia and Abigail have the best customer service in town. The food also was delicious. I will definitely will be back.

Been here a handful of times but normally for the hibachi lunch special. Reservation is ideal but not necessary. Service: Greeted upon entry. My party of 4 were a 15 minutes early for the 12pm reservation. Was advised that we will be seated at exactly 12; assuming they wanted to fill the remaining 4 other chairs around the grill. Our server took our orders and explained about the lunch special. Chef was ok; not much interaction but I'm here for the food primarily. 4 of 5 stars. Food/Offering: We were initially offered salad and soup to start. As mentioned previously, our visit was for the lunch special which comprised of steak, chicken and a two pieces of shrimp with the hibachi staples of fried rice and vegetables. Chef did a good job with the meal, flavorful but not too salty. 5 of 5 stars. Overall: A $20 lunch meal is not bad. I usually have my go to hibachi spot but this location was closest to work. Would I go here again? Absolutely but just for the quick lunch fix. read more

Great food and fun atmosphere. Staff are cordial and entertaining cooks. Bit pricey but one of the best teppenyaki in town

I am writing to share feedback regarding our experience during our visit on January 2, 2026, specifically involving one of your servers, Tammy L. What was intended to be a relaxing visit quickly became upsetting. Upon arrival, our party was seated with us positioned at the far end of the table. Tammy L approached and informed us that the chef would not be serving us because we were "too far out of the way." While this was disappointing, we still wished to remain seated with our party.(The chef did not mind) After our order had already been taken by another server, our party felt uncomfortable and offered to switch seats with us so we could be closer together. Once we switched, Tammy L returned with an unprofessional and visibly upset attitude. I explained that we had ordered the same items as the guests we switched with, yet we were told that this had "thrown off the order," despite no actual changes to the food. From that point forward, we were largely ignored. Tammy L focused her attention on the two guests who had moved into the original seats--the same area where we were initially told service would not be provided. Our food was served separately from the rest of our party, creating confusion and detracting from the experience. Additionally, our meals arrived cold and with noticeably smaller portions compared to those served to the rest of our group. Overall, the experience felt disrespectful, and unprofessional. I was very disappointed by the attitude and handling of the situation. This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will be our last. read more

We've been here on multiple occasions because of how close we are by it. Their sushi is good and hot sake is delicious. I can't review dining in because we're always sitting at the sushi bar. The sushi chefs are quick with making the sushi rolls. And our servers are always fast with checking in on us. The inside is nice and clean. Noise level is good too. We would recommend this place for a quick sushi meal. read more

Just went into Sakura for 1 to go order and Server was Elizabeth.R. I had ordered fried rice. Got to the counter and she was on her personal phone and hung up after 3 min called me then was like oh well he will take your order when he's done. After she realized it was a to go order. Then after another 3 min she ask what I would like to order and told her my order the whole time she was rushing me qnd just being very pushy and rude. She was not taking her job serious therefore trying to rush my experience and my day! Elizabeth R, 5/18/25 1:05pm! read more

We arrived on Wednesday night around 6:30pm to celebrate my friend's birthday dinner. There was no wait and we were seated for regular dining. Our waitress Deedee was great and so sweet!

We recently ate at this restaurant. The service was very good. We had delicious tempura shrimp and veggies, and an order of California Roll. We added a miso soup and side salad! It was perfect ! The atmosphere was calm and quiet! We enjoyed our early dinner very much! They open at 4:30 for dinner, and are usually very busy. Parking is dome times an issue at the Clovis site. read more

Food was great but we waited 30 minutes to get 1 roll and server kept running past our table so we couldn't even give her our full order. She forgot to give us all our food but still put it on the check. When we went up to pay, the server came and checked how much we tipped her. Not rude service just very inattentive and made us feel forgotten about. read more

Can't order takeout an hour before they close? Such a weird rule. I'd understand 15min before closing and even 30min but an hour? Guess I'm searching for a new restaurant. read more

Had a craving for sushi so went for dinner this past weekend. Big mistake. Walking in, I noticed either their AC was not running or was really, really weak.. I mean, in the teppanyaki area it would probably be warm but we sat at the front of the restaurant, at the sushi bar. Mind you, this is end of May in Fresno, so it was triple digits outside. Please turn on the AC.. it was NOT pleasant to be inside your restaurant. It was probably 80 degrees in there. When we left, it was honestly cooler outside than it was inside. That that was 7PM! Wasn't a deal breaker so we proceeded to order a Sushi Special and a Red Dragon from the sushi bar. Not a bad amount of food for what you pay for and the fish appeared fresh and presentation was great. One huge problem; the ingredients in the roll including the raw fish was warm. I'm assuming because the restaurant was hot, or because their refrigeration wasn't strong enough at the sushi bar? Shouldn't the fish on display be kept over ice? I noticed the fish on display didn't seem cooled. Sushi rolls should never be hot unless it was baked/fried! This made made the nigiri and roll seriously gross to eat. Avocado was hot, crab meat was hot, cucumber was hot, fish was hot... sorry but, it was awful. Nothing bad to say about the service, sushi chef and waitress were attentive and fast. Great service. Glad we had a gift card.. won't be coming back. read more

First time here with some family. We came during the beginning of the week at 8pm and the door said they close at 9pm. They told us it'll take 10 minutes because they have to clean a booth. We waited for a bit and eventually were seated. I know we came in late for dinner and I'm sure they weren't too thrilled. I don't blame them. I'm sure it was a long and busy day and everyone was ready to go. Nonetheless, our server was attentive, no bs, straightforward, but there was something sweet about her. I can't fully explain it, but it felt like an auntie serving you food! Everyone got a combo plate of some variation with chicken. The portions were extremely generous! I got ramen-- it was spicy and portion was also generous, a tad too much red chili oil. I've had a lot of ramen from different places, and for the area and such, it wasn't bad at all! read more

Unfortunately this place has really let me down. Any previous experience with this specific location has been average; taste of food, cleanliness, and service. We made a reservation today for right when they reopened at 4:30. We walked in and were semi greeted by the hostess around 4:15 and used both gender restrooms. Both were filthy. As we returned to the lobby area to wait to be seated, the lobby area was also disgusting. There were pieces of trash on the bench area as well as the floor looked like it hadn't been mopped in a week. I would imagine that in the time they are "closed" they would be attentive to the restroom and other areas. We decided to leave immediately and will not return until they step up their cleaning procedures. My husband made the comment, " if this is what the lobby looks like, I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like." I'm really disappointed :( read more

I had teppanyaki here a few years ago. I had a good experience. The food was good. I thought this would also translate to good food and good service for regular dining as well. I was wrong. I went to the website where it said I could make reservations, so I called and made them. I was only heading in for regular dining rather than teppanyaki, but no one asked when I made the call. When I arrived, I was told they did not take reservations for regular dining. There was no mention of this on the website or over the phone. Sure, there was no wait and we were seated immediately, but what if there had been a wait? Would they have still honored the fact they allowed me to make the reservation? I should have known this was just the beginning of a disappointing evening. Because we like to eat from different parts of the menu, I let our server know ahead of time that it would be okay for them to just bring everything together. Basically, no need to ensure appetizers are first or anything. Just bringing them things out when they are done. She looked at me and immediately said she would just bring things out when they were done. I would have been completely fine with this except she was rude. She was in a rush. We were never given refills. When I got the check, she circled the suggested tips. We ordered fried rice, teriyaki chicken, teriyaki New York steak, chicken wings, and calamari. The only dish that had any flavor was the fried rice. The portion was big as well. I liked the Miso soup, but I was not a fan of the salad. I asked for sauce on the side for the teriyaki dishes. It was a compromise since one person in our party is not fond of sweet sauces. Chicken and steak? Bland. Once we poured the sauce on half, the flavor was immediately improved. The chicken teriyaki is a big portion. Chicken wings? Bland. Calamari? Bland. I could understand why the chicken, steak, and calamari were bland. They had accompanying sauces. What could explain bland chicken wings? It did not have any kind of sauce to make it better. I do not plan on coming back here unless for teppanyaki. Maybe not even then. read more

Wow, generous portions, beautiful presentation, delicious food and friendly service. Katie is the best! We had a large table, and she was communicative and sweet. I was looking at the entree ("appetizer") salads, and couldn't find photos to see what I was getting. So I settled on the Beef Shabu Shabu Salad (though Katie highly recommends the beef sashimi salad). It was enormous and delicious. The dressing was a savory creamy sauce, reminiscent of a satay. I got two meals out of it. And now I will post the picture for the benefit of other diners. You're welcome. This is not for the teppanyaki side, we ate on the regular side. read more

The food is great here! It's a good alternative to the surrounding restaurants in the area, especially if you're craving Japanese food. The servers were very attentive and nice.

That's how awesome she was :) read more

First time I've went that we ate at a regular table instead of the teppanyaki. It was nice. We got way more food. Booths were very spacious and comfy. Fit size of us. We went at lunch and got one plate of the fried rice and it fed all of us with a ton left to take home. It was $15. Great deal. I got a plate of the chicken. Also $15. But it's way more than you would get if you went and had it cooked it front of you. Of course you have to get the hot and spicy sauce. Service was fast. Waitress was great on refills. Only thing I hate about this location is the parking. It's mall parking so hard to find a spot. Overall a great experience. Will be back. read more

I think that, all things considered, this is the best teppanyaki place around. There are no real surprises here, and everything is pretty good. Went here recently for lunch with a group on a Friday. All seemed well initially. Waters, soup, and salads came in a timely fashion. As we were waiting for the chef, we noticed we had been seated at our griddle for 50 minutes. The chef did finally come. The food was good. I got the "trio," which included steak, shrimp, and chicken. What I especially liked was that nothing was over salted. I do wonder if one and a half shrimp was correct for my lunch, though. That's what I got. All in all, we were there for almost two hours, which is just way too long for lunch. read more

Tonight our reservation was for 7pm and we were left waiting until after 8pm to actually eat. Our guest were from out of town and we're delayed in getting home with concern about fog. The ladies bathroom was dirty and lacking in paper towels to dry your hands. Overall the food was mediocre compared to their sister restaurant located on Nees. Seriously doubt that I would dine at this location anytime soon. read more

Today 8/23/25 we have been to this place a lot of times and today everything went BAD. To start off my family were ordering our appetizers, and the waitress said to me and my dad, have to get two types of sashimi (raw fish) instead of one type of sashimi. We then had to change our type of order in order to get one type of sashimi. So my dad and i did to get the sashimi. It doesn't end there, next the waiter was rude and sighed every time we called her over. She too tried to act like she wasn't wrong and was always in the right. The food was the biggest disappointment, before the food was amazing, but now it is stale and sucks. AVOID SITTING TRADITIONAL AND A OLD LADY WITH BLACK HAIR AND AVOID COMING HERE!!! read more

Start off with we go here a lot, food is good as usuale. Server not so much waited 30 min for waiter to come back to table to order another drink by the time it came food was just about wrapped up. The chief had to go look for the waiter. All the chief's there usually do cooking tricks but there was none of that. Just quietly cooking with min interaction. Spent $200 there for a good interaction and service but there just wasn't any of it. Super sad read more

Ok so we just had the sushi, salad and miso soup. The fish was fishy, thinly sliced, the Hamachi had huge pieces of the red gamey bloodline through it, and the rolls were loosely rolled so they all fell apart. The tempura was tiny, soggy and tasted like it was fried and stacked and refrigerated hours before. My first thought was, this is why you don't order sushi in Fresno, which was probably unfair. The second thought was, don't order sushi in a teppanyaki place, which is probably the real answer. But there was a full sushi counter and it was busy. The server also left us go forever so we did not get water refills and it also took forever to get our order. Not a good experience. Do not recommend. read more

None of the local teppan spots seem to be as fun and entertaining as they used to be. Pretty much just go through the motions and some cooks don't hardly talk. That was a big part if the experience in the past. That said the food was flavorful, cooked well, good sized portions and fresh. read more
