Side of noodles for an extra charge. It's spaghetti
Ryan B.

I want to like this place The problem is I just can't. The ambience is great, the servers are good, and the food is good. What is there not to like? The food is good... most of the time until it's not. For the price, you'd expect a higher quality. This is below average Japanese food being sold at prices you pay for fine dining. To top it off, they served me spaghetti noodles for the side of noodles I paid extra for. They taste good but it's still spaghetti

miso soup

I had wanted to try Sakura for quite some time. After seeing the good reviews, we finally got here. Upon entering, there was no one at the host stand. Finally, we saw there was a bell on the stand. My husband rang it and a man who turned out to be our server, approached and seated us in a booth by a window. Before going, we had looked at the menu online which helped us to decide what to order. It did concern us that their prices looked to be high. When we saw the menu given to us at the restaurant, the prices were about $10 lower than what was listed on their website. I ordered the Deluxe Sakura Box which (supposedly) consists of: "3 pieces tuna sashimi, 3 pieces salmon sashimi, salmon avocado hand roll, house roll, seaweed salad, sushi rice, oshinko, pickled vegetables". My husband ordered Sushi and Sashimi Box which (supposedly) consists of: "3 pieces tuna sashimi, 3 pieces salmon sashimi, 4 pieces assorted sushi, shrimp tempura roll, sushi rice, oshinko, pickled vegetables". Each dinner comes with miso soup and a salad. The miso soup came to the table piping hot. It had good flavor. The salad had an unusual dressing that seemed to be mayonnaise based and was sweet. It wasn't bad, just different. To drink I had a glass of "Kinsen Original Plum Wine" which proved to have great taste---not even a hint of bitterness. Probably one of the best plum wines I've ever had. My husband had wanted a Kirin light beer but they only had the regular one which he was okay with. As for the main courses---we both thought the quality of the fish was excellent. I never had had a hand roll before and I did enjoy the salmon, sashimi and avocado together. And now the reason for 3 stars --- Later on when we went home, we looked at the menu again and noticed that my dish lacked both oshinko and pickled vegetables. My husband's lacked pickled vegetables. At least, I got to taste some of his oshinko. We both wished that the pickled vegetables were there as was promised by the menu. Despite the obvious missteps, we both say we would give them another chance now that we know what to look for. We've even discussed trying their hibachi meals Yes, Yelp, I know...I will talk about the ambience. It definitely gave off the whole Japanese vibe with its decor and laid back feel --- at least in the dining room area. The Hibachi area was louder with conversation.

General Tso's Chicken

We went to dine in and was greeted with friendly service. The General Tso's chicken was once again amazing and extra chicken fried rice was delicious. We tried dessert this time and although good will try something else nice time. Again, great experience.

My girlfriend and I have been here a bunch of times. I honestly can't say enough about it. It's a good hibachi spot. I typically get the filet and chicken hibachi since it's better quality steak and only $4 more than the regular. They gave us some free shrimp on this trip which was nice. My gf also got the filet and chicken hibachi. Everything was delicious as usual. The miso soup did seem to be microwaved this time because it was steaming but was lukewarm. Other than that though, it was all good. The service is part of the reason to come here. We've never had to do a reservation to sit at a hibachi table. We usually get seated at a grill pretty quickly. The chefs are always fun and interactive. On this visit I got to try some sake from the bottle and he tossed us vegetables off the spatula to catch in our mouths. And it's usually very quick service as well. Even on takeout orders we get our stuff pretty quickly. The ambiance is casual here. Half of the restaurant is traditional dining tables and booths. The other half is hibachi grills. I believe they have 8 grills here so there's plenty of seats even when it's busy. They have a parking lot out front and it's convenient. I would say that this place is worth a try if you haven't been here yet.

Hibachi
Kevin L.

My son saw a video of one if his friends eating hibachi and asked if we could go so he could have food thrown into his mouth! I've been meaning to try this place as it's really close to our home. I am glad we decided to pull the trigger rather than go to benihanas. This place is really clean. The ambiance was great. The tables are a bit higher than normal so you have to sit up straight. The service was great. They were very attentive and got us everything we needed. We all decided to do hibachi. My kids shared a kid hibachi and we still had left overs. I've never seen them crush food the way they did until they were exposed to this place. They also enjoyed the show. I had the filet and chicken combo with fried rice. They start you off with a few shrimp while the chef cooks the rest of the protein and veggies. Everything was cooked to perfection. This place is a bit on the expensive side but generally hibachi is. I'll definitely be back!

Been years since we visited Sakura Grill in Ashburn due to Covid. We picked a bitterly cold night to visit thinking less people but when we arrived early evening jammed packed with customers and every table was packed. My wife's Birthday. We ordered lobster and chicken; chicken and shrimp; and lobster and steak. Appetizers now pretty much fixed except type of rice and no chicken livers (my favorite). Has 2 Kirins. Chefs as usual put on a show and we all ate until we could not anymore. No longer offer bamboo shoots ate the end. Good service and sis a birthday sing-a-long for my wife. So packed hopefully everyone had vaccines. May hold off for another visit.

Where the magic happens
Eddie B.

Finally got around to trying the hibachi at Sakura. It does not disappoint. You get the traditional Teppanyaki experience here, you sit around a big flat cooktop and the whole show happens in front of your eyes. We were a group of 7 and all had the full experience of hibachi. The meal includes salad, clear soup, veggies, fried rice, 2 shrimp, and your protein of choice. Noodles are $3.50 extra but worth the money. A great tip is to ask for extra egg for the fried rice and add extra garlic to everything being prepared. It really elevates the flavor. I ordered the filet mignon and shrimp entree, my wife ordered the rib eye steak. The filet was nice and tender but my wife's ribeye was superior in flavor. All the food was prepared correctly, the steak was juicy and flavorful and seafood was nice and tender. This gentleman knew his businesses. We had kids with us and the chef was kind enough to give us a heads up when the pyrotechnics happened. It's this kind of courtesy that adds to the whole dining experience.

Sakura Platter B (for 2) (5/5)
Katherine S.

TL;DR: Solid sushi spot. FAT pieces of sashimi, great price point and interior decorations Came here with a couple friends to grab some sushi and was not disappointed. We sat in the sushi area, but they also have hibachi. Service was so friendly and informative about the menu. FOOD: ~O-Toro (1/5): got this ala carte. It was not like any O-toro we had before. And at $18 for 2 pieces, we were severely disappointed ~Sakura Platter B (for 2) (5/5): My husband and I got this platter, and you get to have 2 signature rolls of your choice. The nigiri and sashimi were great on this platter ~Kiss of Fire Roll (4/5): pretty good and jalapenos were spicy! The spicy tuna on the inside is the chopped up kind, so I, personally, can't eat too much of that ~King Dragon Roll (5/5): Loaded with eel, and the little tobiko on top just added a perfect bite ~Deluxe Sushi/Sashimi Combo (4/5): again, great slices of nigiri and sashimi, and comes with a House Roll (Tuna Salmon Avo with Tobiko on top) This place is pretty decent, and has a good price point for what you get! Good enough to satisfy your sushi cravings.

My FAVORITE hibachi grill and sushi place in the entire DMV. Close by the the IAD airport so it's a lovely place to bring your out of state guests after a long day of travel. The food is extremely high quality! The filet mignon from the grill actually melts in your mouth and is 100% worth it. The sushi is so fresh it's like they caught the fish from the sea! The restaurant is clean and spacious with great atmosphere. Staff is kind and dedicated to their work. I highly recommend them for your next date night or big family meal!

Stopped in with my friends tonight for dinner. The restaurant definitely drew a crowd for dinner…read more There are several parking options within the center- parking garages, street parking, and a couple of lots. The blueberry mojito was DELICIOUS! The appetizers were pretty tasty too. However, I was not overly impressed with my main meal. I ordered a hibachi combo, the filet mignon and chicken. I was honestly disappointed, the flavors were lacking in my opinion. Service was attentive and portions were decent. Sad to say it, but I do think there are better Hibachi restaurants in the area with comparable pricing.

Okada is a Pretty decent Japanese restaurant that serves Sushi and Ramen…read more I stopped by on a winter weekend while visiting the One Loudoun area. I ordered the D49. Spicy Chicken Miso Ramen Dinner as I came at 3 PM which was a little after the dinner hours. It was pretty good. Came with bamboo shoots, seaweed, and boiled egg and the spicy chili sauce on the side. I asked for it on side as I wanted to experience the taste w/o spice and then add it myself if needed. Overall, it was pretty tasty. Nothing outstanding, but maybe my taste buds weren't functioning. It was not bad overall, and was filling as I hadn't a proper breakfast even. I would rate it 7/10. Not bad, and the cost for dine-in was a little over $20, which wasn't bad but not cheap either. For the service, I'll give it a pass. Overall, impressed with this Japanese restaurant and hopefully will be back to try something else on the menu, if I find myself in the One Loudoun area again.

The menu was very extensive serving Japanese and Korean dishes. I started off with the Yellow Tail Collar for my appetizer. I was excited when I saw the size of the portion being served to me. Although, it was very dry which was a let down. It was also a bit bland as well. For my main dish I got a rice bowl, an unagi bowl to be exact. Again, it was just adequate. Thankfully the bowl was a generous amount of food. Sadly, it was just a bit one dimensional and I got tired of eating it after awhile. Also, I felt like the bones were a little more pronounced than what I am use to when eating eel. Therefore, my experience was average. I may give it another shot if I am in the area again.

Attached is a picture of the what the Lion King Roll is supposed to look like and what we received. The crab meat on top looks like a spaghetti. The end pieces of the roll (that didn't have the tail) were all avocado and not even a little shrimp, I know that skimping out on the ends is normal but no shrimp at all is ridiculous. After eating two pieces my stomach has been hurting for the last 7 hours. The last time we got lunch from here the rolls we normally love did not taste the same, but at least they didn't get us sick so we thought maybe it was unlucky. They need to fire whoever is making the rolls during lunch because this quality control is terrible.
