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.

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.

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.

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.

Nestled inconspicuously in a strip mall, Mr. Sushi & Mrs. Roll offers a great atmosphere and delicious food for a reasonable price! I ordered the 911 speciality roll, Philly maki roll and Eel Avocado maki roll. They were all fantastic. All of the fish was fresh and had great flavor. The smoked salmon on the Philly roll was particularly good. The service was outstanding. I will be back.

Then, recently, we discovered that there was one in Ashburn. This past Saturday, we gave them a try. We arrived around 5 p.m., and at that time, only one other person was sitting at a table. Our server greeted us with a smile as she took us to our table. After looking at the menu, we both decided to get Mr. Sushi's 12-piece dinner, which consists of: "chef's choice of sushi (or sashimi) plus a choice of a California roll or a spicy tuna roll." There was a photo in the menu that was next to the description. The photo had us thinking it was the right amount of food for each of us. The dinner comes with miso soup. Well...were we surprised! We both chose the sushi, which consisted of nigiri. The slices of fish were quite large. There was tuna, salmon, shrimp, and some unidentified white fish. All the fish were very fresh. The spicy tuna roll was indeed spicy. However, some pieces were mildly spiced while others had too much spice. My husband liked his California roll. A generous amount of ginger was given, as well as a generous amount of wasabi. As for the miso soup, it arrived at the table piping hot and had a good flavor. We were stuffed! Next time, we'll order the smaller portion of this meal. We'll be back. The service was excellent -- attentive without being overbearing. When we left, the employees thanked us for coming!

However, they do a good takeout business, as we noticed several people come in to pick up their orders. Before coming here, we looked at their menu. Thus, we knew what we wanted when we got here. Service was great. The staff here is friendly and efficient. Our server checked on us more than once during our meal. To drink, my husband ordered a Kirin Light beer while I ordered a glass of plum wine. Some Japanese places fill the glass too high, but here, the portion size was reasonable. I ordered "the poke bowl". I chose salmon for my fish. This bowl consists of "Sushi-grade fish topped with vegetables, mixed with poke sauce over a choice of mixed greens or rice". I chose the rice. Before coming here, I looked up "poke sauce." I found a website called "pokebowlny.com." This is the description they gave: "traditional poke sauce blends soy sauce, sesame oil, and often rice vinegar, along with aromatics like garlic and ginger. This classic combination makes the fish taste fresher, the vegetables more vibrant, and the rice more flavorful." The vegetables in the bowl were kernel corn, seaweed salad, and cucumbers. I really enjoyed having this meal! All the flavors worked well together. I look forward to having it again. Along with the poke bowl, a bowl of miso soup is included. That, too, was quite good, and it came to the table quite warm. My husband ordered "Tuna Don," which consists of "fresh tuna sashimi over rice & vegetables. His entrée came with both miso soup and a small side salad. The bowl had a big slice of radish, some seaweed salad, and the usual shredded daikon. The wasabi was really spicy - he could feel it in his nose and sinus cavity - it'll take your head off. The generous portion of tuna was large with thicker slices than he'd ever seen before.

Considering I only got 5 rolls for $12.05 I expect higher quality products. I ate the first roll and gave my husband one. The first one tasted off and the rolls were falling apart but I initially thought nothing of it until each one continued having the same problem. That's when I took the roll apart to see what was up with it. The service was okay when I placed my order. No one in there looks like they want to be there, which typically translates to food preparation. The inside is nice though and it was clean.
