    Shrimp Kung Pao (xtra spicy) and my husband.
    Cris P.

    *5/5 stars* I literally just devoured the Shrimp Kung Pao at Sakura Teppanyaki & Sushi and quite honestly I'm still reeling from the flavor bomb! I opted for an extra spicy kick and boy, did it deliver. The portions are huge and the shrimp was cooked to perfection, the sauce had just the right balance of sweet, savory, and heat. I ordered a bowl of miso soup, which was rich and comforting. So delicious! Tonight was a bit slower, maybe because it was Thursday, but this site is usually busy! They have a lot of tables the ambiance and lighting makes it for the perfect date night experience. Service was top-notch too! This is my second time here and I can't wait to come back and try some of their other options. Highly recommend!

    Celebrating our anniversary!
    Jada C.

    To celebrate our wedding anniversary, we wanted to go to a teppanyaki restaurant. By walking around Diversey, we discovered Sakura Teppanyaki & Sushi. So glad we did! Chef Jun cooked our food using the teppanyaki style stove. I ordered the red snapper. The meal came with sautéed vegetables, vegetarian fried rice, miso soup, a side salad, a good portion of noodles cooked in soy sauce. The red snapper filet looked large. It took time for Chef Jun to cook it. The food tasted divine. It surprised me to see the restaurant using large sized shrimp. They tasted delicious. The red snapper had a juiciness to it. The portions took the whole experience to another level. Joseph ordered the steak and chicken teppanyaki. He said he liked the portions. Going to Sakura Teppanyaki brought back nice experiences of us living in Hawaii. We created new memories by coming to this place. This will not be our first time coming here. I liked the ambiance here. I felt relaxed and not rushed. The prices looked a little steep. However, the food, servers, and chef all made it worthwhile. Come to Sakura to celebrate your wins, and life milestones.

    Great service and seriously generous portions of all the food items. The hibachi chef was very interactive and cooked everything beautifully (meats were always medium rare per our request). Aside from the grill items, we also ordered rolls and sashimi, both of which were very good. The salmon sashimi in particular was my favorite!

    The presentation is great. They have fog and everything. The sushi was okay but I think they are more of hibachi place than a sushi place. They have a lot of verity of food.

    This restaurant maintains a consistently bustling atmosphere whenever I pass by, so I'd strongly advise making reservations before your visit. Last Sunday, I arrived shortly after opening and was very lucky to get a seat. I ordered fried calamari, a sushi roll, and House Lemonade. The impressive portion sizes, featuring with a crispy golden exterior that gave way to remarkably fresh, plump squid meat. Each bite offered the perfect textural contrast between the satisfying crunch and the succulent calamari. I highly recommend the fried calamari! I will continue to order it next time I come!

    Garlic Shrimp Scallop Hibachi Fried Rice Hibachi Noodle

    Popped in on a Friday night and was seated right away. They do take reservations on Yelp. There are 4-5 hibachi tables and then regular seating. The sushi sampler and crab ragoon were good, nothing out of the world. Lychee martini was just ok, it wasn't very sweet but very strong and wasn't sure what other liquor was put in there but it was just ok. Hibachi plate comes with salad soap to start, pick your protein, I did garlic shrimp and scallops, and fried rice, veggies, and noodles. Salad was not great, most of my lettuce was brown-spoiled. The soup was just okay. Garlic shrimp said it had a sauce on it but it was like a thick garlic paste ontop, it was ok. Scallops were good and had a nice sear, not overcooked. Veg was cooked well. Noodles were a bit bland and overcooked. Rice was just ok as well, not a lot of flavor. Service started strong but took a long time to refill our drinks. Hibachi chef was fun and entertaining!

    I'm a big fan of Teppanyaki and bookmarked Sakura while passing by in town. The pyrotechnics caught my eye. What more appealing the fresh cooked food made in front of you with a bit of a show. You get to experience the aromatics of each ingredient prepared with precision and a bit of acrobatics. From the second you enter the door it was a Joy to dine here, friendly hostess and great staff. Nice modern dining area with pretty art like a cherry blossom murals. They have their teppanyaki side with I think 6 hibachis, a standard dining side for sushi, and a full bar. Food was tasty and delicious. I had steak and chicken and she had red snapper. Perfectly cooked by our chef. Entertaining performance with fire, sake and smiles all around.

    Came here for their AYCE sushi deal on a Sunday lunch and it was an excellent deal. Very good price for AYCE - and the quality of sushi was good! The ginger they offer is excellent and wasabi tastes real (without the artificial flavor you get from cheaper wasabi). Warning: some of their rolls are very huge - keep that in mind if you go with their AYCE option. We had most of the rolls they offered and they were all very tasty and the fish was of good quality. In the rolls, there was a good mix of fish and rice - they were not clearly stuffing the rolls with rice. The seaweed salad was also very excellent! Everyone was very nice - we stayed in the restaurant for a while after paying out bill (it was pretty empty) and they still checked to fill water as needed. The restaurant also played some excellent pop beats in the background - mixed with both throwback and current hits.

    Took my partner here for valentine's day, it was both our first time doing something w a partner for valentine's day and I'm so glad I picked this place for it. The food was amazing, the staff were super nice, the chef was incredibly skilled, and the vibes were overall really cool. They even had a labradorite countertop at the bar which was something I'd only ever dreamed of seeing since I was 15! I also rlly liked how a minimum tip was automatically included in the bill along w a section for additional gratuity. Overall awesome experience, would definitely visit again!

We had a 7:30 reservation and they sat us right away. I ordered the ocean treasure which had lobster, scallops and colossal shrimp which was excellent. My friend ordered Land N Sea. What I love about Benihana is that they cook right in front of you and the entrees include 6 courses with 2 yummy sauces that are a gingery sauce and a "yum yum" sauce which tasted like a mustardy mayo. The first course was onion soup that had mushrooms in it, then the house salad with a really tasty gingery dressing, grilled zucchini and onion, rice which I upgraded to the chicken friend rice because that is the best. After that you got a bit of shrimp and for dessert ice cream or sherbet and also a green tea if you wish. The hibachi chef was nice and cooked well but what made our experience 5 stars great was our server Brian. He let us know he was in training but he did wonderful! He was attentive and very friendly. The ambience was lively but you could still have a conversation. I recommend checking out this Benihana it was a great experience and I will definitely be back!

First floor you get to order from both the Chinese menu and the Japanese menu. We decided to just go with Japanese today! We were craving uni and was slightly disappointed to hear they don't have it today... not sure if I heard correctly but I think they only serve it on Friday (?) So we were forced to try other things on the menu, which I was really glad I did. It was delicious!!! I'm completely obsessed with the wagyu maki. The wagyu was so tender and juicy. I also love a lot of their sushi nigiri's. I highly recommend the sushi signature set, which gives you 3pcs of white tuna, tuna, and salmon. The wasabi wasn't too strong and I felt it complimented the sushi. However the rice kept falling apart in the rolls and in the nigiri, which isn't a huge problem when everything else is 10/10 This place is on the pricier side but not going to break the bank if you want fresh sushi. The service was great! I believe our server's name was Vincent and he was very attentive and knowledgeable. This place was EXTREMELY quiet, like we were the only party there. I really hope they get more business because this place truly is a hidden gem with some of the best sushi in the location. I will be returning to try other items!

The interior is stunning and the staff were all very attentive and nice. Food wise, it was just ok for me. The Wagyu sliders had tender meat but it was way too saucy which made the bread soggy and hard to eat. The rolls were beautifully plated but tasted ok. I think since they didn't use white sushi rice, it fell apart easily. The salmon nigiri looked so good but wasn't as smooth as I hoped but not horrible. The scallop was the best bite of the night- so smooth and fresh. Edamame again was just ok, didn't taste too much truffle but I'm glad it wasn't overcooked and still had a good bite. In total, 1 appetizer, 2 speciality rolls, 4 pieces of nigiri, the sandwich and a Diet Coke was about $50 between 2 people which isn't bad. We were both pretty full and satisfied.

The filet was cooked correctly and was tender, but overall, the food was average and bland. The sides were decent, nothing memorable. For what is widely considered the most expensive steakhouse in the city, the food simply did not deliver the level of quality or execution I expect from a true five-star steakhouse What really ruined the experience for me, however, was the complete lack of ambiance. Mastro's publicly states that it prides itself on offering an elegant, memorable dining experience and clearly outlines an upscale dress code meant to maintain a sophisticated atmosphere. Unfortunately, that policy was not enforced at all. Guests were dressed in sweatpants, extremely revealing outfits, baseball caps, and clothing more appropriate for a casual chain restaurant. The disconnect between the stated dress code and what was actually allowed in the dining room was shocking. When you're paying premium prices, ambiance matters just as much as food and service. Instead of feeling refined or special, the room felt chaotic and cheapened by the lack of standards. It genuinely detracted from the entire experience and left a bad taste in my mouth. I had been wanting to try Mastro's for a long time, and this visit was a major letdown. At this price point, expectations are high, and unfortunately, Mastro's Chicago did not meet them. Between the average food and the complete absence of the upscale atmosphere they advertise, I won't be returning. For a restaurant charging top-tier prices, enforcing basic standards should not be optional.
