    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!

The cuts of meat purchased are all Prime cuts. On Christmas Day, we enjoyed our "cow" slabs as they melted in our mouths and no knives were needed. The Prime Standing Rib Roast was outstanding. The NY Strip Roast was perfect for the one person who enjoyed it. Finally the Lamb Chops were devoured by a few people even though it was purchased for one person. This shop has survived times of COVID when people were not in store shopping. The community rallied together to keep this gem alive. They now offer Pizza special notes, kids crafting and taco Tuesday's. They offer pre packaged fresh meats, wine bottles, drinks and other ready to make products.

I've been going to OS since it opened as "All-American" long ago (under then questionable ownership). The bar with projectors showing sports all around you with a large traditional bar in the middle with plenty of taps is a great room. (ASIDE: I always found it odd that they installed 4:3 aspect ratio screens and it is mildly annoying that all the TVs are stretched. Just show the HD with bars on top and bottom please. Stop with the stretching please!!!!) The prices are fair and low. They always have specials and have a great happy hour special that lasts longer than most of the competition. We can get out of there with two good meals and ice cream for the little guy for $10-15 less than even the cheap local chain restaurants! PLEASE keep the place affordable - going out to eat is SO EXPENSIVE in Ashburn and I dislike fast food; it's really nice to have a good sit-down restaurant where I can get a beer and my son can get a Shirley Temple and both of us eat a good meal for under $50.

Kinda just stood around chatting until they were required to act when customers walked up to them to get help. Kitchen staff was hopping! But. The food. Um. Not yum. But not entirely horrible either. Seemed like a lot of stuff was from the night before. Warmed over yet not hot nor warm by the time it got to the table. Stuff under the heat lamp too long got over cooked while the stuff underneath the overcooked stuff was lukewarm to cold. Would think one couldn't mess up donuts, but these were fried in old oil (probably from the night before since we arrived at opening). Blobs of bland dough that were really dark on the outside but gooey, mushy, and not thoroughly cooked on the inside. That bitter taste from old oil really ruined any hope of enjoying what sounded delish on the menu. The donuts were rather disgusting. In general, the food just didn't taste really fresh or mouthwatering. Salty, maybe. From the bread to the entrees, most everything fell flat. An expensive flat. Worth the drive? Overall, while we had good service minus the hostesses, the food & value just doesn't warrant giving it another shot, which is disappointing. It's a place you'd want to really like, but it's missing something significant that makes you want to return to give it one more try. Just wish the food had been a lot better.
