    Crazy wait time
    Hugo D.

    Walked in and placed and order at 1:56pm Its 2:25pm and im still waiting for my order!

    The Packaging
    April P.

    This was my first time actually going to this location. I ordered via UberEats Teriyaki Chicken Combo which is Steamed Cabbage/Carrots and white rice Or for 70 cents more you can get Fried Rice!.. I was greeted immediately the guy was pleasant and got my order immediately. The Ambience was clean and organized. I loved. That the food was very flavorful and it was light it wasn't heavy and it was healthy but flavorful all across the board and the portions were filling. I absolutely LOVE their Sushi at whatever location lol . I'd come back and order from here again!

    2 chicken and shrimp entrees  Shrimp tempura roll  And 1 yum yum sauce

    The food is fine, I used to come to this place all the time but I see that things have changed over the years and now you have new people there , I spent a good amount of money on my food for me and my wife and one of the employees packed my bag didn't even bother to ask me did I want sauce so I had to ask , then when I asked she only gave me 1 sauce and I have 2 entrees,the size of the sauce cup is not enough for 2 meals I asked for another for the other meal, and instead she wanted to be quick to charge me for sauce instead of just giving me 1 extra sauce that way both entrees have sauce instead I felt like she wanted to be petty and just charge me for sauce. If you decide to eat at this location just expect people to be rude. I'll be going to quikway for now on.

    California Rolls and Shrimp Tempura

    I've never been a big fan of Sarku Japan and now I remember why. The quality of their food is not great. Shrimp tempura?? How about tasteless fried breading with a Shrimp tail. There was barely any Shrimp inside the breading. You can tell this item was store brought, probably from Restaurant Depot. And where's the sauce? Maybe the sauce could've added some flavor, but that wasn't included. Definitely not worth the $4.59.... I also didn't get soy sauce with my sushi. People shouldn't have to ask for sauces that should come with the food. If you want Sushi, go to Wegmans! I won't be coming back to this place anytime soon.

    Shrimp bento box

    What I wanted was sashimi, found a rice bowl place that said they had some sushi rolls, or that's the best was to describe it. About 8 different rolls and a number of meats over rice. Tasty but not sushi and definitely not sashimi. What I had was fast, cheap, fresh and tasty but not sushi. (I had the shrimp bento box on brown rice)

    I absolutely love this location. The employees are fantastic and the manager/owner is such a sweet guy. He actually cares about his patrons and he's great to chat with. We regularly come here. It's the only fast food restaurant in the immediate area that doesn't have employees who give more attitude than service. I literally despise the area because of the attitudes of all the employees at all the immediate fast food restaurants but not here. Thanks for continued great service!

    Service: The cashier was not as prompt and friendly as other restaurants but not overly rude either. Food: Sushi is not truly fresh but still eatable. Also, sushi chef's rolling skills need a little work. The roll wasn't as tight and aesthetically pleasing as higher end sushi places.

Always a moment...acting brand new like I haven't eaten hibachi a thousand times, lol...chef better perform!! And he did. Kept the energy up the whole time. The sushi was good, fresh, and hit the spot alongside the hibachi. I got filet mignon and shrimp. Just yummy!!! Portions are huge. Went for brunch but had enough for dinner later that evening and lunch the next day. Service was impeccable from start to finish. Attentive, organized, and everything flowed smoothly. I especially appreciated how they handled the checks at the end. No confusion, no chaos, just clean and efficient which we love in a large group setting. The decor is your typical hibachi setup. Nothing over the top, but it's a franchise so you already know what to expect. Standard, but that's okay. Overall, I enjoyed myself and would definitely come back for another celebration or just a cute night out.

I watched it change from "still working" to "ready for pickup" right in front of me as she said "you just put the order in, you need to be more patient." So I hung up because I couldn't believe what just happened, and walked over to get it. The flavor is decent, but the wrappers are cold and gummy, probably from sitting. Who knows when I would've been notified if I hadn't called? I wasted my hard earned money, and I am very disappointed. Will not be returning, and telling all my coworkers and friends to stay away. Cute take out bag though.

The food at Sakaki is full of flavor and the prices are reasonable for the amount.

Also, there is a time limit to the AYCE (I think it was 90 min). This'll definitely be a place I go to regularly in the future!

    Must admit the food here is quite tasty & fresh!!…read more This spot definitely has become of my "go-to"s" when in this area. The food is fast, quick, and offers a good variety of menu items to mix in to the fold when it comes to looking for fast-casual places offering healthy options--like fresh vegetable and decent proteins. The menu is mostly comprised of hibachi eats, but surprisingly.....this place offers Pho and Noodle dishes as well. In similar fashion to Chipotle but just on an Asian fare tip....you walk down an assembly line of options starting with noodle/rice choices and assemble your bowl of delicious, healthy veggies, proteins and toppings. Place like this is my kind of playground. It gives you a chance to change things up every now and then......from the same old....same ole! On this day I came here and got a steak and jumbo shrimp bowl that was everything! The proteins were seasoned and packed with flavor. The veggies were cooked just right.....from the cabbage, carrots , pickled onions and mushroom toppings. Not to mention the portions were quite hefty....more than I can say than similar places like this that serves similar format....and we all know who I am referring to. In all, I always enjoy coming here. The customer experience and service is top notch. Not to mention, the food quality and fast has been pretty consistent and has not missed the mark! The establishment is always clean and the food stations are spotless. The vibe is very casual and laid back, with lots of dining space if you decided to eat-in but I notice this location is mostly take out. SakuraGo gets a "Thumbs Up" in my book and I recommend!

I highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for something quick and convenient. There is seating available, but they also package food very well for takeout. I'm honestly surprised this place doesn't have higher ratings. Sorry, no pics. I was hungry!

It comes loaded with a California roll, spring rolls, and a few dumplings. The Yum Yum sauce is the perfect sweet-and-spicy balance and pairs beautifully with the teriyaki. One things is that the shrimp are not abundant so order extra, I think we had about 8 in each order, a bit of a bummer.
