Once again Yelpers have led me to a great restaurant! Went for teppanyaki this evening and the food was great. The atmosphere was a lot of fun, and several tables had full families with young children. The filet was $2 more than the steak, and the prices were reasonable for this type of cusine. Dinner included soup, salad, appetizer and entree (with veggies and rice). I would recommend reservations if you're going on a Friday or Saturday evening. read more

Perfect if you're in the neighborhood and craving hibachi. Not great if you want an awesome show or the most awesome-tasting food on the planet. The show probably would have been better if my boyfriend and I hadn't sat at a table with a bunch of strangers (read: better with a large group). Also serves sushi, which is just OK, not the best ever. read more

Large dining hall. Fresh fish. Had a business lunch with co-works. Order a Sashimi lunch. Will be back. Order a eel rice as well. Total is 41 including tips. read more

Sakura - Large dining hall - Japanese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

One of the best Hibachis I have been to, they are one of the few to serve chicken liver- which would be a huge motivator for my non-vegetarian friends to join. They have great customer service and very consistent quality and taste. read more

Most Japanese steakhouses are very similar, offering the same menu, however this restaurant is clean and the service is great. Food was very good, with only the chicken being a little on the tougher side. There was only 4 people at our table and our chef tried his hardest to be entertaining. Drink selection is fairly decent. I highly suggest the Apple Saketini. read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. The service was fast and the waiter was nice and friendly. Excellent food and chef . read more

Sakura - Philadelphia roll - Japanese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I planned a surprise party for my boyfriend's birthday here and about 15 friends. I contacted the restaurant in advance to make a reservation and explain I was having a surprise party. They normally do not accomodate suprise parties but since everyone was on time they were going to do their best. Unfortunately when I got there with my boyfriend our table still wasn't ready and we had to wait at the bar for another 45 mins. The party before us was taking their time finishing up. The manager felt very bad and gave us a free bottle of wine for our troubles which was extrememly generous. The food and hibachi chef we had were fantastic!! The hibachi chef interacted with the group and made sure everyone was having a fun time. I will definitely be back to Sakura! read more

I was at the Sakura in Germantown MD. A place that I love to go to. Was impressed of the remodeling. Not happy with our cook. He was a bit boring. Also, I managed to get burned when he was handing the food to me. Something popped out on my arm and left this. I spoke with someone but they were more interested in getting my check. read more

Sakura - A burn. - Japanese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

If I could give it zero stars, I sadly would. We went here to celebrate my wife's birthday with our two kids. Even though we made a reservation, and it 4:30 PM, we still had to wait to be seated and then they kept the table "open" in case others arrive so they can join our table. Although we were ready to order, the slow moving process had it they we didn't order drinks for at least ten minutes. Really drinks? Why we couldn't order both drinks and our meals at the same time, who knows, but that seem rather complicated. So in the end, it wasn't until at least 5, 30 minutes after our reservation and when we showed up before the hibachi chef showed up. The good part of the wait was that we got to see the "show" of another hibachi chef for the table before us. The bad part was that our chef was full and boring compared to the other chef. He lacked personality and really didn't have many tricks. On top of that, the cooking was sub-par. The chicken was over cooked; the top sirloin steak was chewy; and the rice was inconsistently cooked (some was good and some was undercooked). The service was horrible! You would think that if you flag the need for water refills once .. twice ... three times, they would get the hint. Nope. Not even one time did they check on us based on their own volition. I can't think of anything positive to say about the experience, as even getting a parking spot was difficult. Stay away! Save your money! read more

I started going to the original Sakura back in the 90's in Fredericksburg VA and our family and friends went to one of the 2 Sakura's in town then. I moved away from the area and went back to Wash DC last week and we went to this Sakura after a 12 year absense, until last week. It was just like it was 12, 15, 18 years earlier. The menu had a few new combos on it but otherwise it was the same. The food is just as good today, they had a great thing and they kept it and changed nothing. I have to assume all the resaurants they own are also the same, that's good because it's good, fun show and lots to eat!!! Good service and good exhaust fans !!! Try it and bring kids - they love fire. read more

I invited my boyfriend and his family to this location as a thank you dinner. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the food and the service, and here's why: 1) The chef took our orders, but when I told him I was ordering the Teriyaki Chicken, he looked at me and said " you want chicken nuggets..." implying that I didn't know that Teriyaki chicken isn't fried chicken. I was the only African American at the table, and I took offense to it. 2) My party wasn't provided with chop sticks, so I attempted to signal the waiter to our table to ask for them, he looked directly at me, and walked away. Again I was offended. My boyfriend had to signal a waiter to our table for me, talk about feeling like an ignored customer. 3) After receiving our chop sticks, the chef made another poor attempt at humor after discovering that I was given 2 pairs of chop sticks. He looked at me and said " you got two for when you drop the first pair". Again, I was offended, no one else was spoken to like this. 4) After the main course, my boyfriend and his family ordered desert and I asked for a to go box. The desert came to the table quickly, but I waited ridiculously long for a box...a simple box, making me feel even more ignored as a customer. HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERN! ***5)***After leaving the restaurant my boyfriend got FOOD POISONING. DIARRHEA, and general stomach ache, HE'S CURLED UP IN A BALL RIGHT NOW. So other than BAD RACIAL HUMOR from a complete stranger, and POOR SERVICE there is a potential SALMONELLA PROBLEM at this location...RUN AWAY! DO HIBACHI SOMEWHERE ELSE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE BLACK AND DON"T WANT TO BE INSULTED BY A STRANGER WHILE YOU EAT. Hope this was helpful! read more

Ive tried Hibachi and it is delicious, not to expensive and a really good experience.

This place is always a fun time, I love the ginger dressing they use on the salad. I cant comment on the sushi, I have never bought it. I come for the hibachi grill action. I do find it amusing when a Latino gentleman is cooking the food though. The fried rice is delicious and the dipping sauces really enhance your meal. It can be a bit pricey so this isnt really a place I come to alot. read more

Love the sushi here. Easily some of the best I've had in terms of quality, freshness of the product, and general all around tastiness! You'd think that you would be spending a lot of moulah here given how nice the place is decorated but the sushi here is VERY reasonable. Every piece taste fresh like they've just caught it from the ocean. I'm not a big fan on steak house so I can't offer you any commentary on it. Considering how close it is to the Mall, skip Wasabi and try this place instead! The hamachi and spicy tuna roll is very good. One of my personal favorites is the eel and spicy scallop roll. I'm preggers now and they say to avoid sushi at this time, but let me tell you once this baby comes out, the sushi here is first place on my list. read more

Great food and best entertainment for the whole family. I usually go one a month to Sakura for dinner. There is a little bit a wait until the table is more than half full, but it really worth it. First of all food is freshly made in front of you and you know what you get. On top of that you get entertained by your cook while he is preparing you dinner. Food portion is generous and prices are very reasonable. You get great food, entertained and enjoy your dinner at a great price. take my advice and try this place, you will not be disappointed. read more

Absolutely delicious. Incredible food, good price, yet still expensive, and great chefs. The filet mignon is absolutely fantastic.

If you are going to Sakura, I would not recommend the Sushi. The wrapper has a bitter taste I've never experienced before. The sitting area for dinner is super nice and much quieter than the back portion of the restaurant. read more

They are pretty strict about not seating a group until the whole party is there. I've been here twice now for hibachi with the family. Some chefs are more animated than others. It can get really loud since it's part of the entertainment. Food is consistently good but then again who doesn't like grilled meat/seafood and fried rice. I wouldn't bring small children that are sensitive to noise or get scared easily with big flame near them. read more

This is a great Japanese Hibachi spot that has authenticity, good service, and good food. Prices are reasonable and you really have an enjoyable experience bc of the fun chefs. They aren't boring with the same Hibachi tricks they really make it fun. I'll definitely be coming back here! read more

My husband and I were contemplating doing another hibachi restaurant because recently some of the other local hibachi restaurants are seemingly less enjoyable than they were years ago... Still, we thought our kids [11 & 2] would enjoy it so we tried it - we recently moved to Tysons and had never been to this location. LOVED it! The food was great, service was great and the chef was HILARIOUS. Ive been to MANY hibachi restaurants all over the country and this guy was by far our favorite. He even had my very tired two-year-old laughing hysterically and trying to catch shrimp in his mouth. We'll definitely be back! :) read more

Service was excellent. The manager helpedOur orders of sushi came out quickly. The sushi was pretty good. I was not a big fan of the fried sushi. The abundance of sauce in the container made it soggy. Overall my meal was pretty good. read more

I was here Friday, and they were super busy as always! Luckily we made reservations, so we got seated right away. I've been to many different teppanyaki places, and Friday's chef was by far the best chef I've ever seen! AND first time an actual Japanese chef cooked for me! (Chef self proclaimed himself as the last samurai haha) The performance, level service, and the deliciousness of all the food were top notch Friday! We ordered: the cold sake we usually get, chokara. Dry and hint of sweetness in every shot. We had a roll... but I don't remember the name. It had a piece of cream cheese on top if each roll pieces and baked. For entree, I had the filet mignon/lobster/shrimp combo with side of grilled mushrooms. Omg I can imagine the taste in my mouth! They were cooked to perfection which went so well with the fried rice. Thanks to the considerate chef, he made my fried rice less salty than rest of the table. :) I hope I get the same chef next time! read more

See all

Daniel was our chef and the best I've ever had. He was hilarious with great jokes and good cooking. Filet was a perfect medium.

I went here for lunch and got the "Sushi Lunch" for $11. It came with a salad, miso soup, and an assortment of maki and nigiri sushi-- I enjoyed all of it. I was impressed by the decor--I was definitely not expecting the inside to look so nice or large when I was about to enter the restaurant. It was a little dark but enjoyable nonetheless. It seems like a great place to go on your lunch break if you work locally, and it is probably a great choice for dinner as well. read more

Just like the other review said: it's what you expect from a hibachi grill. Great food, good service. The decor here is interesting... in a good way. I recommend coming for lunch, when the prices are much cheaper for the same food. read more

My favorite! This Sakura has amazing staff and large portions even during lunch

I like this place.. I'm not too much of a hibachi fan bc i've seen the tricks a million times (I use to work at one in college as a server). It's more entertaining when you're with a group of people, but if it's for two... I rather just get the food without the show. Sakura gets pretty busy on weekends, so make a reservation! I usually get the filet Mignon and scallops with either the mushrooms or chicken liver for appetizer. The last time I went, I tried the hamachi jaw (yellow tail) and the tuna tataki salad...both were really good! The chefs are entertaining and the servers are very friendly as well. btw.. this place is deceivingly huge!! They have a large bar, large sushi area and a huge habachi area! read more

This place is great! Totally decieving from the looks of the shabby strip mall it's in. Beautiful inside. The women were dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos. Food was excellent as we sat in front of the grill and the chef prepared our food. We will be back for sure! read more

We love taking my niece and nephew here when they come to visit from out of town. The chefs are always entertaining and the food is excellent! :) read more

I have been to this Sakura location twice- once for hibachi and once for sushi. The hibachi was delicious and some of the best in the area that I have tried, but the sushi was DISGUSTING. Even the traditionally mayo-free rolls have mayo in them and the fish was left scaly and was definitely not fresh. The restaurant is spacious and the service was good both times I went. I will go back for hibachi, but you couldn't pay me to eat their sushi again. read more

Went for a mom's night out as a group of 10. It's a great place for a group - large tables and lots of parking. The food and drinks were great. I had the teriyaki chicken but did not enjoy the appetizers that come with the entree. read more

Pleasently surprised!!! This is my new favorite Japanese steakhouse in Leesburg!!! Everything was on point perfect .... food and service couldn't be better... read more

All I have to say is run away from this place. If you want real Hibachi go to Benihana's in Bethesda or next door to Philin Thai excellent food. The only reason it get's 1 star is because it's required.. Customer service was horrible.. the manager never stopped by to check on the tables.. didnt even see the manager on the floor -scallops were over cooked and had a fishy taste took 1 bite and I had no intentions on eating the rest. -fried rice was sooo bland I make better fried rice at home.. Not worth the $37.00 for lunch. I feel like I got scammed. I go to Philin Thai once a week and spend $25.00 for tasty and FRESH seafood. Very disappointed and again run away from this place. I would put this in the category with McDonald's just plain yuck!!! read more

Very quick! My colleagues and I went for lunch and we only had an hour. Even though hibachi takes a good amount of time, they prepared the food quickly and it was delicious. Also they were very attentive and took good care of our party of 11! Definitely recommend! read more

I have been in this place several times with my family. My daughter loves her food to be cooked in front of her. in Sakura, you get great food, get entertained and prices are very reasonable. You can not go wrong in Sakura. I highly recommend it. read more

Not a sushi connoisseur by any means so take this review FWIW. Went here with coworkers for lunch during a slow work day. It's located in a strip mall but the interior is huge and very nicely decorated. I ordered the lunch special which came with a soup and salad which were both very good. I got a California roll and a smoked salmon roll. Both were pretty good. Some of the rolls weren't rolled that tightly, so they came apart but meh. The damage was only $11. I'd come back here again. Next time might try the teriyaki. read more

Worst Restaurant ever!! My wife called earlier in the day to make a reservation and they told her that they do not take reservations. So we over to the Sakura and arrived at 6:10pm we were told that we would be seated at 7:10pm. So we waited and waited and waited, 7:10pm hits and I go over to ask about the table and they tell me "A realistic time because of people who have reservations we won't be seated till maybe 7:45pm" . It took them a hour to give me a "realistic time" and then in the morning I was told that they don't reservations. I am most certain I will never go back. read more

We took our newest team member here for lunch a few weeks ago. The chef darn near seared our eyebrows off...which was hilarious to us. Service was for the most part ok. We had to keep making eye contact with the waitress so she could clear our plates and glasses...odd since there were literally only two other tables there at the time. She was also supposed to fully stock the chef's cart and the proteins were missing. However, the master chef did a fantastic job on our food. The skills these chefs have to have are insane! Plus,we didn't need to add a single thing to our dishes as they were seasoned perfectly. I'm only taking away one star because I plan to visit this locale again within the next few weeks. I'd like to see how the service is when they are really busy read more

Showed up 20 min after they were supposed to be opened. Door was locked and nobody answered the phone.

Stopped in for dinner after buying a vehicle from koons. Great car dealer by the way! Sushi was great . Very fresh and they have a nice variety of rolls. If I'm ever in town again we will definitely be back . read more
