Went with a group. Seated promptly around the grill . The chef puts on a show while cooking. Most people had a Hibachi menu item. Our food was quickly prepared and tasty. I liked the chef was professionally dressed, recently went to a similar style restaurant where the chef was wearing a sweaty T-shirt. Food was very good and fairly priced. Definitely will return to this location. Five stars compared to similar restaurants. read more

My granddaughter loves Japanese food, so we weren't surprised when she wanted to go to a Japanese Restaurant for her 5th birthday. My son made reservations as there were 32 of us attending. Even with the reservation, we had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. But that was okay, they were absolutely packed, people were lined up out the door. They were able to seat us all together and that was what mattered It was very dark in there, so I didn't take any photos of the decor. However, it was very nice. Our chef was good, but there wasn't very much fanfare that you normally would expect at a Japanese restaurant, which was a little disappointing. I believe that was because they were so busy they were basically trying to get people in and out as quickly as possible. As for the food, it was very good. I had the filet mignon and it was yummy, I just wish the cuts had been a little bigger instead of baby size. The rice, noodles, veggies and yum yum sauce were very good. We also were there during happy hour, so drinks were two for one. I got the White Russian, and it was very alcohol forward. Overall, we had a nice experience here. My only ding was for not having the usual fanfare from the chef, which is what my granddaughter wanted for her birthday dinner. Other than that, I would definitely recommend that you give them a try. read more

I love the Sakura in Lady Lake although I live very close to the restaurant in Colony Plaza. Reason, atmosphere. If you're looking to talk to new people, this location on 441 is awesome, if you're just looking to eat, then Colony Plaza will do. read more

Our party of 5 was very impressed by the service and quality of the food. We were sat right away on a Friday night and 3 of our group ordered Sushi which was very fresh. Menu had just about everything. Two of us ordered hibachi steak and shrimp/scallops. So very good. We had a glass of wine each and tried saki for the first time. Delicious. read more

Always a generous portion of good food. Well worth the price. Usually leave with leftovers.

The food was amazing and incredibly priced. They guarantee you'll be filled and won't finish your plate with the amount of food they give you. The service was great and hibachi was incredibly impressive. The restaurant as a whole was themed and very well taken care of. Would definitely visit again! read more

The food was delicious. Service was over the top! It is a nice restaurant. They have one side hibachi, one side regular sit down, and a bar in the middle. They do lunch specials till 3 pm, including the hibachi. You should check it out. Oh, did I mention they also do ramen? The lady's bowl was huge and looked delicious. We had their sushi lunch special. read more

Service is always perfect and so is the food. The appetizers, sushi and happy hour is a big reason we come here also. There is a variety of sushi and kitchen appetizers to try. Good sized portions and reasonable lunch and dinner prices as well. The kind of place where you want to try everything on the menu. I recommend the Avocado Ball to start. If I could improve one thing it'd be to have them expand the menu to make it more "Asian Fusion" so you could try different types of dishes, like Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.. Also, add a Happy Hour small bites ( dim sum?)menu at a good price. Then it would be perfect. This location on Bichara has been my favorite restaurant since we moved here, and congrats to the staff for consistently making it a fun place to go! read more

Always a pleasure to come to any of these places. This place is no different. I got the scallops and fillet and it was perfect. This place will heap the food on you. The only think I did not like was the salad that came with the meal too much ginger for me. But still great read more

We seem to keep encountering good restaurants while shopping. This time we were at the Publix shopping center in Spanish Springs and came across the Sakura restaurant. The restaurant had a fair number of customers, but not crowded, quiet and comfortable. On entry, we were asked if we wanted to be seated at the Habachi side or the table service side; we chose table service. We were looking for a light lunch so we each ordered a bento box; I chose the chicken katsu, my wife chose the shrimp tempura. The server quickly brought our drinks, miso soup, and small salad with carrot ginger dressing. Only a few minutes later, our bento boxes arrived. Each was large in size, we joked that we probably could have split a single box and had enough for lunch. The miso soup was good, the salad refreshing with plenty of dressing. I thought the chicken, though nicely coated and fried, seemed a little dry; next time I shall try the pork, seems more likely to retain its moisture. The California roll was tasty but a little squished into its corner of the box. The fried rice was warm and good. The gyoza dumplings were sort of unremarkable, little textural difference between the fried side and the other sides. My wife's shrimp tempura was excellent, but the broccoli tempura was cooked as a single cluster, making it difficult to eat. All in all, it was a pleasant lunch, the portions were huge, and at thirteen dollars for a bento box, soup and salad it seemed a bargain in today's market. read more

My family and I love having hibachi there. The food is delicious, and the service is great! I highly recommend it!

Last night, I was in the mood for sushi and sashimi, so I found this fantastic restaurant on Yelp and decided to try it for dinner. When I arrived, the place was bustling, and everybody seemed to be having a good time, laughing and enjoying their night out. I was promptly seated, and while I was sitting, I watched the servers walking by with the delicious meals they were delivering. The atmosphere was pretty authentic for a sushi restaurant. My server was knowledgeable, kept my drinks filled, and gave me an excellent recommendation. I had the sushi sashimi platter, which came with a side of soup and a ginger salad, and I must say the meal was delicious, and I can't wait to return. The prices were reasonable; if you're in the area, don't hesitate to try them. read more

Food and service is great! Have been back several times and plan to return many more times!

Pretty good sushi! A little heavy on the avocado on the salmon avocado rolls and the diablo roll was missing a little something (maybe a suace or cream cheese). But overall good rolls, reasonable price, and quick service. read more

We've eaten here several times and the food is consistently quite good. The show is good as well but the tone of it is a bit sardonic. Most other teppanyaki houses I've been to the show is light, and I prefer that. But it's entertaining. The only complaint I have is my steak was tough, if you want steak upgrade to the fillet for a couple more bucks. Also, ask about exchanges, they are very easy going and will do double rice, or double noodles, or veggies, or hold the mushrooms. Good experiences and we'll be back. Great for groups, too. read more

Always been satisfied with food and service good for groups enough said just typing to get enough words

I love sushi and steak. Sakura is so good and the portions are large. Always have leftovers

The food the service, the cook, is ALWAYS EXCELLENT HERE! We love it.. Shelby is attentive to your drinks, and always recognizes us when we return!! Please go and try this out. read more

Good prices, portions, and ambiance. Although it's fun to watch the chefs on the hibachi side, you can get seated more quickly on the dining room side & you can still order off of the hibachi menu. Staff was nice and our waitress was friendly and efficient. We ordered the filet with shrimp and steak with shrimp. The filet was excellent!! Actually, all of it was. We're not a fan of the ginger dressing on the salad...it is quite thick & the flavor was "ok". The yum-yum sauce was good of course. We were able to sit in the bar area while waiting for a table. It's nice, but I felt bad for the bartender because she had to wait on all of us sitting there, as well as the incoming orders from the restaurant. As a bartender myself, I understand how busy that can get. But even with all the orders, the girl was very nice. We will visit again sometime! read more

Second Sakura experience at this location and as good, if not better than the first!

We really love to come here. They have happy hour every day until 9pm. The food is really good. The servers are definitely some of the more entertaining hibachi chefs we have seen. It's also pretty affordable. Would definitely recommend. read more

Best sushi in the area. You will not go away hungry. We are still working our way through their whole sushi menu and have enjoyed everything thus far. I don't tend to enjoy uncooked sushi but I've tried a few and theirs is really good. We will be trying their hibachi one day but it's so hard to not order their sushi rolls!!! read more

Yeah, we had a nice meal here. The interior is very stylish, which one wouldn't expect as its located in the middle of a strip mall. Their other location is lighter and brighter from the outside. There's a nice bar area where you can grab happy hour drinks and food or have a comfortable solo dining experience. It's all your typical Japanese food and the soups are especially great as is the sushi and really anything you order. Last visit I tried the tempura tofu with a side of broccoli, which threw them for a loop, but the service was truly top notch over all. You can't go wrong at either location. read more

Stopped in for lunch and was promptly greeted and seated. Nice selection of sushi, hibachi, soups, & bento boxes on the lunch menu. The regular dinner menu was also available to order from if we chose. Two of us ordered the sushi lunch which was five fresh generous slices of fish nigiri and a well stuffed California roll. Also included was a bowl of soup and a salad, a very generous lunch at a good price. Our third person ordered the shrimp udon soup, and the bowl that arrived was as large as her head and filled to the brim with noodles, veggies, and large steamed shrimp. Her soup also came with a side salad. Great service and a delicious meal at a very reasonable price. We would definitely return. read more

Beware that there's a brunette big-mouth who frequents the bar. She apparently knows everyone and gets drunk and very boisterous and obnoxious. I was ready to make a complaint but she eventually left, after she hugs half the people at the bar, including three bartender during her loud 10 minute grand exit. Management needs to check her unless she spends more than the business she drives away. read more

Always a great time. The hibachi is outstanding and enough food per serving for 2-3 meals. The gentlemen that work the hibachi are always so much fun. Have never been disappointed. Please make reservations. We always do and feel badly walking through a bunch of people waiting to be seated. Best restaurant I have ever eaten in anywhere! read more
