We stopped in to check out Sakura after seeing a TikTok video that highlighted the hibachi grill. Upon first impressions, the buffet was clean and offers a good selection of dishes for even the pickiest eaters. The hibachi had a variety of meats and vegetables but had absolutely no seasonings or sauces to choose from. Not a huge deal breaker, just odd. Where things went wrong was when the "chef" used the same spatulas he cooked the raw food with to transfer the cooked food to a plate. This is highly unacceptable and could have had serious consequences had we eaten the food. This is the reason for the one star. No amount of positives could overlook the poor food handling. Highlight of the entire meal was the egg drop soup. lol If you choose to eat here, stick to the hot buffet. read more

It's your typical Asian buffet. We saw on google they have crab legs but that is false. We didn't actually get to try the hibachi section. The sushi was subpar. We enjoyed the majority of what we tried, steak with onions, crab rangoons, teriyaki chicken, sausage, etc... the service was a bit rushed but they kept our drinks filled the entire time. It's not a quiet cozy place, but also not terribly loud. Overall, it was ok read more

Sakura Hibachi Buffet - Buffets Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The last 3 times I have been here the food has been horrible. It is dried out or over cooked and the chicken has fat in it which is disgusting. I will not ever go back. read more

The food was Awesome! Lots of choices on their buffet, especially if you take children that might get not go for their specialties. Their black pepper chicken with jalapeños is Wonderful! read more

Good fresh buffet, service was good. I would recommend for lunch. Sushi was good as well

I would have given this a 2.5, so I rounded up. Service was great and really attentive and prompt. The food was average for a Chinese buffet. Nothing to write home about. What was super disappointing was the hibachi, which is a huge reason why we came here. Some of the reviews were really positive about it, but it was the worst among the buffets that included hibachi. It was so bland and you didn't get your choice of sauce. The hibachi chef was really disinterested and was talking to someone through his headphones the whole time. Really he cared less about what he was doing and it showed in the food. The shrimp and sushi were fresh. The ice cream was good. All told, we'd never go back. read more

husband loved the ayce shrimp on the buffet. This place is sooooooo much better than Lucky Panda. Choices are fresh, and plentiful. Do over likely. read more

Food was dry, corn taste like booty, ice cream ok, silverware, and plates were dirty building did not smell pleasant

Be careful of the coupon......buy one get one half price but the small print says you must buy 2 drinks well there is no discount then. We did not order drinks, then they told us they would give us a senior discount the difference was 2 cents. Then we said pick one we won't come back and lots of empty seats. The manager says people will come don't threaten us. Just saying buyers beware!!! read more

We liked it! Plenty to choose from on the buffet and everything we had was either good or very good. This included the sushi offerings. We like Chinese buffets and have been to some not great places, but this is a place we will come back to. read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. Best hibachi bar- lots of choices. We come here often because the food is always good!

Sakura is our favorite! Do you want fresh seafood? I always fill my plate with fresh shrimp and veggies at the hibachi grill. My husband fills his plate with fresh mussels, peel-and-eat shrimp, and fish fillets. Save room for ice cream! The Moose Tracks ice cream is our favorite splurge. read more

Just grabbed two to go box and went through all their menus on the buffet and everything looks dried up already specially their fish so I decided to just go for the lo mien and fried fish, tenders and shrimps. And I paid $35 so dang expensive and the quality of the food kinda below average. Hopefully they will be able to make some adjustments with their foods quality. I'm willing to pay more but hoping that the food will be better. read more

2nd visit within a week and it was as delicious as the first time. So it's Friday night and I think that the food replenishment was a bit slower tonight including the sushi station. I'm not complaining, I had my fill and didn't wait for anything, just an observation. The waitress staff was outstanding and refills was always in the ready. read more

Sakura Hibachi Buffet - Plate #1 of 4 - Buffets Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The hibachi chef was really good, the rest of the staff were very friendly. The buffet was amazing, I found several foods that I don't usually find on a Chinese buffet. They have a wonderful sushi selection and it was great. The restaurant is an older place, but it's well maintained and is an appealing place for the entire family. I'm going back the next time I'm passing through. read more

The food was a solid 4 out of 5. Fresh, hot and tasty. Their variety was excellent, will satisfy most people. Service was great. Their staff were always attentive and constantly moving about to clean tables. The interior was dated but functional and it was clean. Would I recommend it definitely, for big parties and when you need something different from what is available in town. read more

This is a nice location at Myrtle Beach. We were trying to find a hibachi grill where you sit around the grill and the food is prepared in front of you but this one is just a buffet place but they do have a grill in the end where you can get you noodles sautéed with sea food or any meat they have in their counter. I tried the buffet plus the grill chow mein and man that chow mein was off the hook with some crab, veggies etc. The buffet price is ok not low or high but right at the middle with all the options they have available. This place is also good for vegans as i saw many veg options plus some desserts too. On the beverage they have couple imported ones plus some domestic. I would definitely recommend this place for groups or families if you just want to have a laid back evening get together where you have many options to choose from. read more

Sakura Hibachi Buffet - Buffets Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Food was ok, but not great. Good for a typical buffet. Not my favorite way to dine out but my sons like it. Self serve pretty much except drinks. read more

After we ate, we went up to pay at the front only because the waitress did not bring us the check. After we paid we stopped at the entrance to get something from the gumball machines for the kids. As we were doing that the waitress came and demanded a tip. Assuming we spoke spanish she said "propina" we were in shock, in the moment we just gave her $5. This is absolutely unacceptable. It's MY choice to give a tip or not for the service. You do not come up and demand us for one. The worst part was that she spoke in her native language saying something rude (I assume due to the fact that her and her coworker laughed right after.) read more

food was ok lots of options good value nice workers felt alright after not to terrible can't say the same about my mom though

The Sushi was phenomenal, However the food on the hot bars although steam could be seen , the food was not kept hot, flavor was lacking as compared to other establishments. Service was very good. read more

Food was subpar. Sweet & Sour chicken undercooked. Kimchi was super sweet & grossly slimey. Sushi was less than to be expected from even a buffet place. Ladies bathroom was disgusting with blood all over the floor. A waitress came in and used the toulet then left with only rinsing the tips of her fingers and no soap. I let management know. I definitely wouldn't eat here again. read more

The food was bland at best and a lot or the items were cold (not at a hot temp). I personally will not return for another visit.

The quintessential Chinese buffet, all the standards, plus good sushi & hibachi, very clean, friendly staff, we visited at lunch and pricing was fair. read more

I have been going to this buffet restaurant for almost 10 years. They do quite a good job on seafood and vegetables with an accent on mushrooms and shrimp. They used to do a pretty good job on chicken but now they cook it so long that is tough and next to impossible to even cut with a serrated knife, much less chew. Occasionally, I will try a bit of General Tso's chicken just to see if they have hired an experienced new cook, but I am regularly disappointed. If you like chicken, do not go to this restaurant. read more

After finding we would have a 45 minute wait at another restaurant in the area, we stopped at the Sakura Hibachi Buffet as the wife and I love this type of food. We found their choice of food was very good, and the quality of everything we tried was also very good. I loved the chicken sticks, mussels, honey chicken and boiled shrimp. The wife loved the chicken on a stick, egg rolls and the honey chicken. It's now been 4 days since we ate here, and we have eaten at 3 other restaurants since, and so far this has been our favorite meal. I rate this experience a 5, as the food quality and choice gets a 5, the service gets a 5, the facility gets a 5, and the value gets a 5! What part of our visit get something less then a 5? Answer: the ice cream. There wasn't enough of a couple of choices I wanted, and I found it very difficult to scoop what was there out. Anyway, we lived our meal overall, and it gets my vote to return again before our vacation ends! read more

amazing service enjoyed wonderful meal with amazing energy from server ping she was the sweetest even complimented me and my friend calling us beautiful she was the epitome of a pure soul saw nothing but kindess and hard workingness from her egg drop soup was to die for habachi left me stuffed everything was simply divine if you see ping say thank you she is so hardworking read more

Surprisingly Vegan Friendly They have a Mongolian BBQ so that is an easy vegan friendly option where there are language barriers. FRESH, abundant veggies! Broccoli, onions, bell peppers, onions, and some noodles and canned pineapple. Stir fried to perfection. Other than the French fries, nothing on the buffet appeared vegan as all the vegetables had dead animals in them or were cooked in butter. Dessert area had fresh and abundant FRESH melon and pineapple .Good price for this area and freshness of food. Attendant never asked if we wanted our waters refilled. Value-5 stars Service-fair Kept clean, lots of seating for customers. Will make this a regular with friends. read more

Last 2 times me and my girlfriend ate we have gotten really sick. If I I'm paying 40$ for buffet the very least I would like is to not get sick . read more

Nasty, mold everywhere very dirty. Management was told about everything and they didn't even care. The waitress wore latex gloves, picking up other peoples plates and bringing people drinks with the same gloves never change them. read more

The spot we had picked was slammed, and we had seen Sakura so gave it a try. Despite the hostess(s) apparent confusion in handling guests, the wait wasn't too long. The server was prompt, and attentive, but I did take exception to being called sir. Our chef was fun and amusing, classic Hibachi spiel and patter, but well presented and overall good fun. His humor was as good as his cooking, and all the guests at our table semed to have a very nice time. Our only disappointment (next to the hostess issue) Waltham they don't do sushi on Tuesday or Wednesday, the night we visited read more

As far as buffets go this one is decent. Very good selection of sushi. The skies opened up and we were looking for someplace that didn't have a wait. Walked right in around 6pm. Your usual Chinese buffet plus hibachi and sushi. A lot of ice cream flavors also. read more
