Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, place had a few patrons but wasn't packed so we were seated quickly. We were asked if we'd be having the AYCE Sushi or regular menu, we opted for regular. Kapolei boat was plenty for the 3 of us. Good assortment of sashimi & sushi. Would be nice if they'd let you customize the 2 sushi rolls that are also included. Water was refilled without hunting anyone down. Check was brought to us before we had the option to order dessert. Clean location, ample parking, plenty of seating. A few loud groups but nothing crazy. read more

The AYCE here is very lackluster. I'm going to keep this plain and simple. This is a place that you can avoid. You can't order a lot (in order to get another 3 items, you have to wait until your entire order comes; they take forever), the taste of the food is mid and they take awhile to bring you food, hoping you'll get full. They charge you for any waste. They give you a ton of rice and very little fish as you can see from the Hamachi Nigiri. Very disappointed. It felt like I was getting robbed. You think you're getting a good deal by going AYCE, but don't let the Ala carte pictures fool you. The quality and what you get is TOTALLY different in the AYCE. They cut corners and give you what appears to be the leftover pieces for the AYCE. They specifically have a policy on wasted rice to be charged at $35/lbs. Makes sense cuz they put so much extra rice to make you extra full. Just fyi, that's 2 people's orders. When they say 3 limit order per person, they mean, 3 pieces of nigiri. I've never been to an AYCE that was so stingy. read more

This was my first experience here. We came in with a party of nine, and we were seated right away. With a recommendation from a friend, we ordered two Hawai'i boats and some extra rolls. The boat came with sashimi, sushi rolls, tempura, grilled meat, and an ice sculpture! The ice sculpture was my favorite part, but everything was so yummy! We also got a free dessert since we were celebrating a birthday. read more

A little frustrated getting reservation and calling them. Staff at Aulani recommended them. Used Google maps to locate, the phone number is incorrect but address is. I went to web site to make reservation but only allowed spot for 5 so I made that. Tried to call multiple times over two days but not their fault. Ambiance This location is next to Foodland. It is colorful and very clean. Service Xu our server very attentive made some recommendations. The staff wear black uniforms I like that. Rate 5 Beer Iced cold beer served in chilled glass. Yes. Rate 5 Salmon Belly Osaka Roll Chef specialty. Spicy salmon, seared salmon belly with 'special sauce' it was special. Rate 5 Chicken Bento Box It was ok. Rate 3.5 I will return. read more

The best thing about this place was the staff. They helped eachother serve our large party of 12. To make it easy on everyone we got thr AYCE. Price was pretty good. Just under $40 per person before tax and tip. 90 minute time limit. You are only allowed to order three dishes at a time. Which I understand because it prevents over ordering and food being wasted. The food was decent as well. Nothing spectacular or something that will make me want to go back again but was definitely decent. The only thing that bothered me was when they delivered. For example, 4 of us ordered the shrimp tempura. Four orders all came out on a sjngle plate. It would have been okay if we sat next to each other but that wasnt taken into consideration. And they only had sauce on the plate. We didnt get our own sauce. We had to pass around the pkate of shrimp. We ordered sushi and again multiple peoples orders came ona single plate. Again passing around the food. While AYCE may work for small groups maybe groups of four. It didnt work for a party of 12. If youre a bigger party it will probably be worth more to order individual dinners. read more

I've been here a bunch of times prior to them becoming an AYCE. We had reservations for the AYCE dinner at 6pm on a Monday. Seemed like the perfect time, the restaurant was pretty empty when we got there but started filling up not too much after. The place is nice and bright without the teppanyaki tables. They still offer the menu but no longer cook in front of you. Our server was great, providing just the right amount of service! My table felt like the sushi we order was just ok. Of the 5 we ordered, the lobster delight roll was the better of the 5. The menu says the California and Philadelphia rolls are cooked but they arrived at our table like regular raw rolls. We did enjoy the all non-sushi items we ordered like the hibachi scallops, shumai, fried oysters, shrimp and vegetable tempura and chicken wings. We probably wouldn't do the premium again, the quality wasn't worth the price. read more

Called ahead to make a reservation for 3 but they told me to just walk in. To my surprise, the restaurant was empty at 4:30pm on a weekend. At 5:30pm it wasn't even crowded. The Sakura VIP dinner for Two is worth the price for the amount of food. It comes with two plates and each person gets a miso soup and salad. Didn't care for the miso soup and salad- nothing special. Everything else was flavorful. The service was quick and attentive. The restaurant was clean. The food is not cooked in front of you! I thought it was going to be but I didn't do my research ahead of time. read more

Sakura Kapolei has been around for a bit and recently revamped. They removed their teppanyaki grills and are now offering ala carte menu and AYCE sushi (and other foods) menu. Local influencers started to promote their AYCE offering so we decided to check it out. We arrived on Thursday just before 6PM and was told we'd need to wait 30 minutes for the AYCE menu. We are still stumped as to why. It is not buffet style, you order from a menu, so not sure why we couldn't already order as the kitchen was open and ala carte menu already being offered. We asked to sit at the bar so we could have a drink while we waited. Maybe 15 minutes passed before we put an order in. Only my drink was made while my two friends had to wait as the server (who was also the hostess) went to help people at the door, take out orders and phone calls. She finally came back and made the other 2 drinks. Around 7 (well more than the 1/2 hour quoted), she told us she'd cash us out and seat us. We went to a separate room for the AYCE customers. Some in there still had no food and so we decided to write our order down so we could order everything at once. A couple servers passed by us with no acknowledgement, no water, nothing. A family came in not long after us, was given water right away and and it looked like they started to order. At that point, we decided to leave. We were there close to 1 1/2 hours and didn't get to eat a single thing. They are severely short staffed. Note to restaurants - don't have influencers come and promote your place until you're ready to handle the business. read more

This location no longer has hibachi cooktop tables! We made a reservation for 7 and we were surprised when we walked in as it was so quiet, and it was just regular dining tables. We chanced it anyways and quickly discovered the food had also changed - the noodles and rice were different and not as flavorful. The steak and shrimp were still good, but it just didn't hit the same. On the positive side the food came out really fast and the service was good. I would only come back here for their sushi menu if I ever returned. read more

Asked about all you can eat menu with hostess and was seated with dinner menus for the table. When I asked for the AYCE menu server told me they would charge my son full price. Yes, Bro I can afford it. Had to then ask again upon his return for the menu and he told me I would have to go to the front to get it myself from hostess. I ordered one unagi sashimi and hot tea. The sushi came very quickly but the rest of the tables food came nearly 30 mins later after we asked one of the bussers to go please check. XU never came back to check how the food was or refill our waters. I never got my hot tea. So there I sat listening to the music and stared out the window. 5 or more mandatory gratuity. I came for the AYCE and would have ordered a sushi boat for me and my teen but he never came back to take my order. Last ditch effort he did bring my youngest a vanilla ice cream. We won't be back and eat sushi twice a week. Suggest hiring more servers to take the load off of the one we experienced. read more

I've been to this location a handful of times but recently just went after they took away the tepenyaki style menu. They still offer the hibachi menu they just don't cook it in front of you anymore. The prices are great for the portions. They have combos where you can select your proteins. The seafood sizzling platter was fantastic omg. Drooling. We will try the AYCE sushi next time. read more

Do yourself a favor.... READ ALL THE REVIEWS before coming here. And do not order the Premium menu as they take 10 - 15 minutes to slices 12 pieces of fish. We came in because of the "good reviews" we made the mistake of not reading ALL the reviews. I now know why this place is under 4 stars. It took 15 minutes to get our 6 orders of Hamachi. It's 2 pieces per order and all 12 pieces would be the size of a Big piece in a quality Japanese Bar/Restaurant. I'm not kidding. Pieces were slightly bigger than a quarter/25 cent piece. On average it took 10 to 15 minutes to get the Hamachi. Sushi for other tables did seem to come out quicker. My recommendation is to not upgrade to the Premium $20 more per person as it felt like they were discouraging us from getting the Hamachi. Server even told us that our 4th order of Hamachi might take longer because it's still frozen. I told her that I'd eat it frozen at this point and I seem to have shocked her. I guess she thought the reasoning of frozen would buy the sushi chefs the 15 minutes they needed to slice 12 small pieces of Hamachi. Staff did seem embarrassed to work there and stuck between a rock and a hard place. I've never left a AYCE buffet after 90 minutes and still be hungry. We would literally wait 10 - 15 minutes just to eat Hamachi for 1 minute. Then pass them our empty plate only to wait another 10 - 15 minutes for 12 more small pieces of Hamachi. read more

Fresh sushi, friendly service, and consistently good food are exactly why we keep coming back to Sakura Sushi & Hibachi. We've visited Sakura Sushi & Hibachi several times, and the hospitality and quality have always kept us returning. On this visit we stopped in for a light lunch and ordered the Sakura Boat, which is the smaller of the sushi boats they offer but still more than enough for two people. The presentation was great and the seafood tasted fresh and clean. Pricing is about what you'd expect from a sushi and hibachi restaurant, but the flavor and quality of the fish make it worth it. For my daughter, we ordered the Hibachi Chicken plate with fried rice. She usually just eats a little bit of her meals, but this time she finished the entire plate--which says a lot about how good it was. The chicken was flavorful and the fried rice was cooked perfectly. Service throughout the meal was friendly, attentive, and very prompt, and our food came out quickly. Between the fresh seafood, flavorful dishes, and welcoming service, it's easy to see why this is a place we keep returning to. Great food, great service, and another solid dining experience at Sakura Sushi & Hibachi. We'll definitely be back again soon. read more

Made reservations for dinner at teppanyaki/hibachi. Arrive to find out the removed all of the teppanyaki/hibachi tables and everything is now cooked in the kitchen so no show at all. What a huge disappointment as our last experience was great. The food is still good but not to correct temperature when brought out to the table. All three of our meals were cold which is not appetizing. Not sure what prompted the removal of the teppanyaki tables but please advertise on your website that you no longer offer that option. read more

To preface this, we really enjoy the Mililani Sakura we have gone there quite abit, and this was the 2nd time I tried the kapolei one (1st time since renovation). The kapolei location is slightly more expensive than mililani, but prior to the renovation that was okay to me for the convenience if you live west side. But now after the renovation theres no Teppenyaki show, everything is cooked in the back. But its still priced high like your getting a show. Your paying extra for fake flowers on your plates. If you want to go Sakura, go to mililani. I will not be returning to kapolei. read more

Worst place to spend a penny for food. After being charged with kids meal $20, and she couldnt finish her food, weighed it to get charged additional $35? Like this is crazy for a meal you wish you will enjoy with family. Skye does not give or handle a good customer service. Looking at the meal - and wanting to try it to recommend to other people - NEVER! Will not RECOMMEND AND WILL NOT HAVE YOU GUYS SPEND MONEY WITH THEIR AYCE. I brought my friends to celebrate mother's day here but worst decision. Their policy is the unbelievable! Not a reasonable "uneatean" policy... a kid for $20, then weigh uneaten $35 extra charge - most expensive fries for kid! Insane...i On top of it, why do I need to pay service charge for $35 waste fee and tax? Definitely not being thought of for food and bev... read more

I saw this place on social media. Now we live on Maui but we definitely like sushi and we love going to new sushi spots. So when this popped up we had to check it out. We were not disappointed. They are located in Kapolei at the new shopping center Kamakana Alii. Sakura is located directly across the parking lot from GEN. We made reservations for 8pm since we were coming from Waikiki. When we got there they were still busy with most tables occupied. Our hostess seated us a few minutes after we arrived and then our waiter came over shortly after. We started with a fried oysters and some mussels as well as the jalapeño hamachi. All were very good quality fish and prepared well. We also ordered some Hibachi Calamari as well as more nigiri. Some Hamachi , surf clam , Masago, white tuna , eel. All nigiri all were fresh and excellently prepared. We also had the sweet heart roll, Spider-Man roll, crazy Friday roll also tried some red snapper nigiri. The service was great our sushi came quickly and I like the decor. It was great for a newer business. I want to go back and try some of the other rolls and some of the other nigiri. They also have a premium option that gets you scallops, Lobster roll and sashimi. Definetly worth the price. We did not get a chance to try the drinks next time we will stay closer so we can sample from that menu. I will be back. read more

I really do not recommend this place! I went there with my husband today and was absolutely shocked! The sashimi slices on top of the sushi were as thin as paper--it felt like I was just eating plain rice! Furthermore, while they advertise that you can order in batches of three, the wait time between servings was so long that it completely disrupted the flow of our meal. On top of that, before we were even seated, we were instructed to read a notice stating that we would be charged extra if we left any rice behind; consequently, we ended up eating our meal feeling thoroughly put off. If you're looking for an all-you-can-eat sushi spot, I would recommend Kan Sushi in Waikiki instead! read more

I really wanted to like this new spot, but the rebranding from a teppanyaki place to sushi hasn't done it any favors. Honestly, it was better before--and it wasn't even that great then. Save your money and just go to Genki. Here is why our experience was so frustrating: * The "All You Can Eat" Trap: They claim it's AYCE, but you are restricted to ordering only three dishes at a time. Given that the portion sizes are tiny, you spend most of your night waiting rather than eating. * The Height Policy is Ridiculous: My 8-year-old was just one inch over their height marker, so they charged her the full adult price. She literally ate two small plates. Charging an 8-year-old as an adult for two plates of food is completely unreasonable. * Subpar Food Quality: The selection is very limited, and the quality is "mid" at best. The Spicy Ahi was particularly bad--it had a very mushy texture and looked like crushed-up Hot Cheetos. * The Only Saving Grace: Our server was actually very nice and professional, but unfortunately, good service can't make up for bad policies and mediocre food. I don't see this rebranding lasting very long if they keep these restrictive rules and low-quality ingredients. Definitely not worth the price.

I made a reservation a week in advance for 6pm for a party of five to celebrate my fiancé's birthday. We specifically chose this place because we were excited to try their new AYCE sushi menu. When we arrived right at 6pm, the host told us we'd still be waiting another 15-20 minutes because they only had two servers working. That was already a bit disappointing since we had a reservation, but we understood and decided to wait inside. Unfortunately, 15-20 minutes turned into 35+ minutes with no updates at all. The host walked past us multiple times without checking in or letting us know how much longer the wait would be. We eventually left around 6:35pm after still not being seated, and we never even received a call or follow-up. While we were waiting, we also looked over the AYCE menu and were surprised at how limited it was -- only a few pages, mostly large photos of nigiri and just a handful of rolls. It didn't feel like much variety for an "all you can eat" option. Overall, it was disappointing, especially since this was meant to be a birthday dinner. Reservations and better communication would have made a big difference. read more

We made reservations recently. We got there, host (short girl) told us that everybody has to be there to be seated which I understand. What I don't understand is when we sat and got our food, I notice there was people sat in front of us but there was four of them. Then later, two more people joined. So how come we had to wait for all of our party but not them? Special treatment? Because of the type of people they are? Their ethnicity? Do better. read more

Bad Service, Good Food. The wait to be seated was about 1 hour, and it was frustrating to see another group seated ahead despite arriving after us(both of our groups have no reservation and was given a wait list as we overheard the conversation with the hostess). It gave an impression that certain groups are given preferential treatment. After finally being seated, our table was not set, and it took another 15 minutes before we were even able to place our order. Our food arrived before utensils, we then borrowed some from a nearby table. Some of our orders were mistake more than once. The long delays nearly caused us to walk out twice once before being seated and again while waiting for our food both of which times, seems to pressure to have us stay. Even when the aforementioned table being not set, the second time which took roughly took 20 minutes after ordering and finishing our drinks. The hostess was extremely friendly and appeared to be working very hard, even helping run food to tables. Unfortunately, the rest of the service did not match her effort. While the sushi rolls themselves were very tasty and beautifully presented, the poor service overshadowed the quality of the food. Additionally, the rolls took a long time to prepare; streamlining or limiting that part of the menu might help improve kitchen efficiency. Due to the overall experience, our group does not plan to return. read more

We've been coming to Sakura for years and always loved the hibachi experience. Fun chefs, great portions, and a lively atmosphere. Sadly, that's all gone. When we went last night, the hibachi tables were completely removed and replaced with cramped booths. The space felt bright, loud, and totally lost its charm. Service was painfully slow . 15 minutes just to get drinks and our food came out cold and out of order. The hibachi plate looked like a kid's portion and was greasy, drenched in raw garlic, and cooked in the back instead of in front of us. The sushi took 45 minutes, and when it finally came (at the end), the salmon was mushy. I refused to eat it, but my husband did -- and he's been sick since. Our drinks were never refilled and was difficult to understand our server as for some reason every time she spoke she placed her pad of paper over her mouth. Strange. We spent over $150, over two hours dining, left hungry, and wasted a rare night out. Our server mentioned they're switching to an all-you-can-eat model next week, which sadly explains a lot. It feels like they're trading quality for cheap buffet-style food. This used to be one of our go-to spots on the west side, but after last night, we won't be back. Save your time and money -- you're better off walking next door to Foodland. They never disappoint. read more

Youve been warned: I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and quality of the food (waaaaay better than Ahi & Vegetable). With that being said the service is absolutely horrible. DO NOT EAT THE AYCE!!! You will leave hungry if you do ... the service is super slow and it takes way too long for the food to come out so your 90 minutes really equates to 15 minutes of actual eating ... it took too long (10-15 minutes) between each limited order as set by their rules and the server barely checking back with us. Sadly, while the food was good, I do not recommend this place unless you want to waste your money and have to eat a second meal after ‍‍‍ read more

We were seated at 8:30pm. The hostess and sign says it's open until 9:30pm. We did the AYCE regular menu at $38.99. This was new for us as we didn't even know they offered an AYCE option. A lot of selections. They will charge for leftover rice which is understandable. However, every time the server came to take our order, he was always checking his watch which really didn't make us feel welcomed. The food was alright. You can only order 3 things at a time. I first ordered the hibachi shrimp - 3 small pieces arrived. The sashimi is only included in the premium AYCE which is $20 more. A way around this is to order the Tuna tataki or the yellowtail jalepeno from the appetizer menu. This will give you some seared pieces of raw tuna and some hamachi pieces (you can just take off the jalepeno and dip the fish in shoyu to get off jalapeño taste). The only issue I really had was the 9pm last call for orders. When we asked the host about the time they closed, she said 9:30pm. No where does it say "9pm last call for orders." This would've totally made a difference for us on whether or not we would've done the AYCE meals - knowing it would've just been 30min or ordering. I really think they should list that for customers. They list many other rules which they make you read prior to sitting down. read more

We decided to dine in, we opted out for sitting in front the grill. There was zero wait time, we was seated right away!! As soon as you walk in the place is quite dim in most places but as you are seated your table section is nicely light! Very clean, has soft mellow music playing and a little sushi bar that looks super cool according to the children we had!! They loved it Our waiter Eric was very quick as we sat, he greeted us and dropped some waters. Give and take 5-10 minutes he was back ready to take our orders. We got the shrimp and vegetable tempura: super crunchy on the outside. The sauce went perfect with the tempura, and the variety of vegetables was so nicely laid out and displayed! 10/10 for sure We also got the Hawaii Roll: the fish was so fresh and soft it literally melts in your mouth as you start to chew. The avocado shrimp topping and crunch goes perfect on top! 10/10 We also got the emperors meal: the lobster was cooked and the seasoning was just right. Not too salty but also had plenty flavor!! And OMG the steak for sure melts in your mouth, it was so soft and cooked exactly to the right temperature!! 10/10 What made our evening was we came in with a toddler who wasn't the best behaved. Who also only asked for tofu, and our waiter Eric was so nice he went and got her a small bowl of tofu! His attentiveness was amazing my cup never went close to the bottom he was on it! The wait time for our food was less than 10-15 minutes! His customer service was awesome!! read more

We went to Sakura last night for my wife's birthday, and unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. We had high hopes, got all dressed up, and expected a nice dinner -- but things went downhill pretty quickly. First off, they don't have the hibachi cooked in front of you like the Mililani location. Everything is done in the kitchen, which already took away a big part of the fun experience we were looking forward to. Our waitress was nice but seemed overwhelmed, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. There were only a few tables with guests and plenty of staff, yet the whole vibe felt tense and rushed instead of relaxed. We ordered a sushi appetizer, hibachi for two, and a bento box for our son. The hibachi came out first, but the sushi and bento never showed up. I had to flag down the manager because, honestly, serving main dishes before the appetizer is just basic restaurant etiquette. It made what was supposed to be a special night feel frustrating. Not the experience we were hoping for......The food itself was just okay -- borderline disappointing. The manager did come over, apologized, and offered a dessert plate to make up for it, which we appreciated, but by that point, the mood was already gone. Overall, the food was mediocre, the service chaotic, and the atmosphere far from relaxing. Definitely not the experience we were hoping for -- and not a place we'll be returning to. read more
