    Checking out Sakura in Livingston, TX.
    Rasiel G.

    Awesome place! Service was quick & attentive. The place is small but it's no big deal. We came in for a quick bite. Food was delicious & fresh! My steak was soft & tender, flavorful! I ate all my fried rice. My wife had chicken yakisoba, plentiful. I had to help her out.

    I came here for lunch with my parents on a Sunday after our church service. The service is always fast, the ambiance is decent, and the food is always great! The servers are fast in doing their job. *Thumbs up*. My dad and I ordered chicken and steak hibachi, respectively, while my mom ordered the shrimp udon platter. As for the dessert, we ordered banana tempura with vanilla ice cream for the table! Everything that's on the menu is all good!

    I got my order to go. The orange Chicken and steak bento box were very good. It took about 15 minutes for my order so it must have been made fresh. The fried rice that came with the meal was nothing special. I will go back to try their sushi when I have more time. Not many Asian food choices in Livingston so I am sure I will be back.

    I will continue to eat at Sakura. My daughter and I always go for lunch after a Doctors visit. The food is super good and service great!

    Cooked to perfection!!! Meat was rare like I like it. Great flavor and Service. Highly Recommended

    For me, Hibachi salmon and scallops, stir fry, rice, the shaggy dog sushi roll, and the New Orleans roll.

    This is my second time visiting here; both now and my first visit were extravagant. There aren't enough words in our current time able to sum up the bursting flavors, long lasting smells, nor great service I have received today. There are very little flaws I am able to find, but few nonetheless. The only thing I can complain about is the rice. It was bland, and didn't anymore than egg in it.

    The food and presentation is outstanding. Highly recommend this establishment. Love eating here every time we are in the area. I love the rock and roll and the tempura shrimp. My husband ordered the sashimi assorted 14 piece. Here is a picture. Wow

    Seared ahi with edamame

    So yes, there is good Asian cuisine in Texas! Here's a little gem hidden in all places, Livingston! We had a little of the edamame and pepper tuna then had some spicy tuna roll along with the crab and cucumber roll, then dinner! Great portions and we ended up taking half of our main course home with us. However we topped it off with mochi ice cream! yum! Will come again.

    The fried Korean corn dog satisfied my craving without having to drive to Houston. We came from Jasper and stopped in for dinner. The sushi was decent and the kids steak hibachi was a good serving. It was enough to share between two kids. The Thai tea was good- we just wish they had a boba option. The miso soup and mushroom broth were tasty. Overall the family and I enjoyed the ambiance, quick service, and clean restroom. The AC was so high the kids and I got cold sitting in there. I suggest wearing a light jacket or sweater if you're prone to being cold. My husband who's more hot blooded thought it was perfect temperature lol

    This newly opened spot was having a large post-lunch rush as we arrived at 2:30pm. We were sat promptly as was a party of six. Our original appetizer order wasn't available and we selected Shumai as an alternative. It was beautifully presented 20 minutes later. Our order was placed while we waited for its arrival. Our order didn't arrive for another 45 minutes . When it did it was presented as nicely as I've seen and was fresh and satisfying. We ordered the Michu for dessert - both were excellent. Slow service from this new spot will surely improve. Be patient and you'll have a really quality experience.

    Worst of the worst. The teriyaki beef was so tough it was inedible. I had sushi and it was mushy with no flavor. Won't be be back

    Food is good. Service is satisfactory. Has the ambiance of a walk-in closet. Not comfortable surroundings. Best for pick up orders.

    Tsubaki - NY Strip Steak Habachi

    We have been to Tsubaki probably 5 times and we have loved it each time. The food has always been…read moregreat on the dine in side we haven't tried the hibachi side yet but we will. The sushi is always fresh and not fishy, soft shell crab is never pungent and always fresh tasting! Bento boxes are a great deal, the noodles are really good from the side dish noodles to the udon! The drinks have always been cold and tasty especially the last one I got which was the Scorpion Bolw! It was huge and very tasty, even comes out on fire! The service is usually pretty good but sometimes the waitresses disappear for a while but everyone there is always willing to help. The building is definitely a bit older and we'll kept inside, tables are clean and covered with fresh paper between guests, the sushi bar is nice with no weird bar smells and the bathrooms have been decent. We will continue to go to Tsubaki as it has become one of our favs here in Lufkin.

    I decided to give this place a try while I was at an all time high with one of my sushi craving…read morefits! I was in Lufkin and said why not give this place a try. It's Friday , I'm off, and I was feeling adventurous!! Well, I popped in at 2:30 in the afternoon, and it was pretty quiet, with only myself and two others there, which would have given me cause to pause had this been a Houston Japanese bar, but this IS Lufkin yall, so I wasn't gonna jump to conclusions regarding the sparseness of patrons. I went straight to the bar and started trying to place my order. Unfortunate for me it was a very young, and brand new waitress helping me who had ZERO familiarity with anything on the nigiri menu , which is what I wanted, nor did she even know what nigiri meant as opposed to sashimi or maki rolls and I had to explain to her what a hot saki was when trying to order my drink.. ( bummer) But I was patient with her and she was trying , and was overall a sweet girl, so I just pushed through.. At any rate, the food finally was prepared by the sushi chef who was there behind the bar, who was not very friendly considering he was not busy at all and I was the only person sitting at the bar, but to his credit he wasn't rude either, and he did manage a smile my way. The sushi was very average , but it was edible and overall fresh, not fishy or blah, which I was happy at least for that , however there were no premium selections of fish available, ie; blue fin tuna, fatty tuna, king salmon, or uni options.. But I won't be too hard on them because I'm pretty sure they get more requests for there cooked options from the kitchen , which were endless by the way, and their selection of maki rolls, more than anything else, making there nigiri options an outlier. So I gave 3 out of five stars..
