My favorite restaurant in town! Highly recommend. The food is delicious and the experience is fun. We love bringing friends that are visiting here. We all leave happy and full. I love the fried rice and steak. Everything I get has been delicious. I probably go every other week here! read more

We tried this place for dinner after having limited choices the prior days of our vacation. This is more of a 2.5 rounded up to 3. We called to place a to go order at 7pm on Sunday. Many places were closed on Sundays. Based on the great reviews we decided to give it a try. Again, it's 7pm. The gal that took my order and told me it wouldn't be ready until 8:30pm! Why?! No idea, apparently that's when it would be ready. I ordered several rolls, Philly Roll, Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, St George roll, kids teriyaki salmon. I didn't realize it was a hibachi style restaurant and didn't specialize in rolls. My hubs went to pick up at 8:30. Staff were masked up, patrons packed inside, were not. WTH people, pandemic much? The rolls were packaged nicely but that's about it. Rice was a bit hard and fish was not as fresh as we are accustomed to. My daughter that loves sushi and hadn't had it for weeks couldn't even finish it. Not very good, okay. My sons teriyaki salmon was on top of grilled veggies with a liquid sauce. Not teriyaki and the fish itself had no sauce on it at all. Overall food was meh for us. Good portions but quality lacking. This was a miss for us. read more

Super awesome place to eat! Lunch special is amazing and well worth it! I wish I could go More often but can't afford to go out all the time. read more

Service was excellent, food was excellent. Atmosphere was great!! Will definitely go back again.

First time out for months & I think everyone else had the same idea. Sat at sushi counter. Place was packed. Service was still on top their game. Best sushi in St George, Utah. Seaweed salad was awesome but was overshadowed by the sushi, which was superb!! read more

I've eaten at this restaurant many times, but I've had a very difficult time getting someone to answer the phone to make a reservation for another day for a business group. The phone tree prompts are repetitive and seem designed to get people to give up rather than book reservations for several days in advance. I've made five phone calls between last night and this morning during hours that one would assume are less crazy. Not cool. read more

I came here with a large group of friends! Our chef was amazing and the food was so good. Our party was not social distanced from the people next to us. I thought that was kinda weird but those sitting next to strangers didn't mind. The next time I am in St George this place will be a must. read more

Ahhhh, Sakura. The Hibachi of Hibachis. The Succulent Sushi Specialists. The food: Of course it is the central part of any self-respected review. So be prepared to be delighted. Fresh, delicious and second to none amongst the multitude of Hibachi throughout foodom. The flavors exceed expectations. Sauces are superb. Salad is fresh with a delicious tangy dressing. Fried rice, outstanding. All the meats were amazing. The experience your palate will thank you for long after. Oh, price is absolutely fair. The Time: be prepared. Food and Fun means this place is busy. You can't get reservations on weekends so be prepared to put your name down early. (When your wife says "it's time to go, Go!) Service: The Front. Delightful. They are under intense pressure and for the most part stay Cheerful and Composed. Service is fast and efficient once seated. Chefs are magicians. No complaints. *Karen Trigger Warning: If you are gonna be upset, be mad at the people in front of you who haven't left yet. Then remember those feelings when you are sitting long after your food is gone. Covid Related: Masks are on all staff members. 50-50 for patrons. Interesting vibe to see who can judge who more. Maskers or nonMaskers. read more

The service was remarkable!! Three atmosphere was relaxing! Three food was mouth watering and delicious!!!!!!

What a great place! We arrived at 5:30pm on Friday night and only waited 5 minutes before being seated. Around 6:00 there was more of a wait. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The chef was fun and entertaining! Dinner and a show. My kids were totally entertained and thought it was awesome! I had the filet and chicken, both were good, but the filet was better. The veggies were delicious I had plenty of food and was totally packed even after sharing with my surprisingly hungry 3 year old. The decor was cool and my kids loved the fish tank at the entrance. read more

Super disappointed in the place. Second time here- first time was great. EVERYTHING was rushed and it's a Monday at 515pm when I sat down. By 6pm the meal was over. Undercooked vegetables and were hounded by the waitress every minute to order bc they put us by a couple that already ordered. Sounds like a you problem. Our salad and soup were taken away so fast we barely got to eat it. Treat all customers like they are important and put me by ppl that haven't ordered when I literally just walked in the door. DO Better! read more

After an unfortunate experience at Benja's my group of 6 (plus two babies) arrived here for dinner on a Thursday shortly before 6:00pm. We were informed of a wait of about 45 minutes, which ended up being closer to 30 - yay! We were seated in an alcove near the sushi bar that featured two table tops with benches, and sliding rice paper doors. It was really perfect, and we actually closed the doors for part of the evening. I started with the coconut chicken soup. It was fine, but there was a flavor in the broth that I didn't quite enjoy, though I couldn't put my finger on what it was. The soup was mostly just large pieces of shredded chicken, and I would have enjoyed more vegetables, as well as a noticeable amount of kaffir lime leaves. For my main I had the steak salad, which was essentially a pile of pieces of steak with LOTS of red onions and mint in a soy based sauce with lettuce to wrap it in. As an entrée it wasn't huge, but it was a good size for me. For anyone who does not have an unnatural love of onions like I do, the amount included is a bit ridiculous, so just consider that a warning. I shared the tempura vegetables, which were excellent. The veggies were just tender enough, and the breading was crispy and served very hot. I'd consider this a must order item. I also tried the pad thai, which was average, though good, and some of the sushi, which leaned toward the Americanized variety featuring a majority of deep fried rolls (though they do have some that is more traditional, as well as nigiri and sashimi). That's just not my style, but my sisters, who are big fans of that type of sushi, thought they were great, so that's a bit of a recommendation there if you're a fan too. I also had a bite of the tempura bananas and cheesecake, both of which were fairly tasty, though I can't quite relate to the desire to deep-fry everything. All in all the food was average to good. So why 5 stars? Service was simply exemplary. Our waitress, Mindy, was a total sweetheart, as was one of the managers, Jean, who checked in on us a few times. We were most certainly a group of hangry ladies and babies by the time we ordered, but Mindy was very patient and kind. My sister in law is the pickiest eater in existence, and she ordered two sushi rolls which included tobiko, but neglected to request it be left off. When it arrived she realized her mistake, and they made her new rolls immediately and quickly, without a bit of attitude. They even left the original rolls for other members of our party to try. We were celebrating a birthday, and Mindy changed the dessert normally offered to what my sister wanted, and checked back every couple minutes once it was ready to be served as the birthday girl had a bit of an emergency. And their birthday candle is the coolest EVER. It's a flower, and when you light it the flame transfers to six leaves, then it opens AND plays the birthday song. Really! So for sushi/hibachi/Thai in the St. George area where your options are rather limited, this is your best bet. When we called ahead they would not take reservations for that same night as they were already busy, but I think they would take them for future dates. They were PACKED, and it only got busier as the night went on, so if you can secure reservations I'd highly recommend it, or else arrive quite some time prior to dinner to avoid a wait. read more

Delicious and the service was outstanding. I ordered the steak and it was amazing and tender.

They need to revamp their customer service system desperately. We called to make a reservation and had to dial the phone over 30 times to get through. Once the phone was answered I could hear that the receiver had been placed onto the counter. I kept saying hello. After a few minutes whomever picked up the phone placed the receiver to their ear and heard me say hello because I could hear them breathe into the phone. They heard me say hello and hung up. I know it was the actual restaurant and not a misdial because I could hear them talking to others around them. We tried to get through for several days. The quality of customer care has declined immensely and this isn't the way you treat customers. You need an answering service an online booking option...SOMETHING other than this. If this is a preview of the service in house I wouldn't patronize. read more

Service was excellent. Food has great flavor. My 10 month old loved the fish tank and the entrance floor interaction.

Great food, atmosphere and service. They handled our group of 15 so well. Definitely want to go back

Unfortunately did not enjoy the experience after being told wait time was 1.5 hrs decided too wait it out. Dumbest thing ever after two hours checked with hostess they miscalculated by an hour for wait times seriously its an automated system! So after 3 hrs and 27 minutes our party of 3 got seated. Someone ordered a well done steak and this was done with seafood -no one asked about shellfish allergies. No food is worth that experience. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

This place had great sushi!!! The St. George Roll was absolutely delicious. We also tried the Sakepolitan that was the only disappointment, it wasn't very strong at it tasted like it was missing something. However, overall we had a great experience here. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We sat in the dining room did not opt for the hibachi; therefore I cannot speak on the hibachi. We were visiting Utah (Zion Nat'l Park) from California and after a long day of hiking and exploring this was a nice way to end our day! Be prepared for at least a 1hr wait and they don't do reservations, but totally worth the wait. Thank you to Pearl our waitress she was very attentive and very patient with us ;) read more

New location on The Boulevard, so plan extra time to get in the parking lot and find a space. They have separate spaces for a dining room/sushi bar and hibachi tables. We had dinner here on a Wednesday night with my sister and her husband. We ate in the dining area where it was quieter and more private. The hostess and waitress were friendly. Our drinks were refilled several times and used dishes were cleared. The timing of our food wasn't coordinated, so my husband and I received our meals way before the other two in our group. Awkward. The food was delicious!! We had sushi, noodle bowls, miso and onion soup, salads with yummy ginger dressing, hibachi vegetables, brown and white rice, teriyaki chicken and steak, sauces for vegetables and meat, and mango sticky rice for dessert. Everything was perfect. It was a nice evening out. read more

My brother took us to this restaurant for dinner dinner and I have to say it was the most awful experience I've ever had. I don't know if it's because I'm used to benihana but this place was awful and I will never go back. Not to mention that the chef was unfriendly. Me and my mom both asked for extra garlic on our food and instead of cooking it in with the food the chef gave us globs of raw garlic on our plate. read more

Great for hibachi. Of course the entrainment is the star over the food. We called on Wednesday evening for a Thursday 6pm reservation. Arrived at 550 and were sat at 6!

We visit friends in St George several times a year. We've never dined in, but always get sushi to go. It's just OKAY. Rolls are skimpy and in my opinion tasteless. Several times we've ordered rolls with eel sauce and have never gotten the sauce. Tonite we ordered 4 different rolls and got just a teeny dab of wasabi. We also ordered two salads. Again, tasteless. The lettuce was wet and the dressing watered down. I guess for this area diners are satisfied but I'm accustomed to excellent sushi in CA. This doesn't even come close. Place was jammed tho! read more

I've never been for the hibachi only the sushi but it's sooo good. Absolutely a favorite when we come to st George

The wait was 2.5 hours during the middle of the week. I ordered the chicken, steak and lobster. Skip the chicken it was dry tasting. The hibachi show was great. The food was good not great. They put a 18% gratuity on the bill and then the server said we need to tip more because the 18% goes to the chef and not her. We left an extra $5 on top of the 18%. I still felt like I was being hustled. She was pissed that we only left $5. I never heard you have to leave separate tips for different people at a restaurant. read more

I'd like to start off by saying, we get sushi a lot... like ALOT. So when I say this is good sushi, I mean, THIS IS GOOD SUSHI. We're from Las Vegas and we're pleasantly surprised at how affordable sushi places can be! We also ordered the vegetable tempura which was great. We got the fried lobster roll and the Zion roll. The Lobster roll was great but the Zion Roll... SO good!! As for rice we ordered the fried rice which was amazing and honestly the best value of any fried rice we've ever had. Our waitress was helpful, and didn't "hover" around us, just checked on us when we needed it. She was very helpful with us ordering and getting our food out to us quick, her name was Shuo. Overall, it was a great experience and was definitely worth it to anyone who likes good, reasonably priced food. P.S. get the Sticky Mango Rice! read more

The food is not enjoyable. The wait is ridiculous. The service is decent. Ambiance seems fancy but really, not worth the price.
