And when I say that, I mean, restaurants that don't specialize in one or the other, but actually serve both. However, I came here, wanting sushi and Gyoza and that's what I got. Added bonus was the fact that I still got the Korean bonchon and I personally love kimchi, so it was amazing. I'm not going to lie: the sushi was far better than I expected it to be. I ordered either the Monday or Wednesday lol and a spicy toner. I also ordered the beef Gyoza. In total, my bill was 26 or so dollars. The rolls were a very good size. I really liked the flavor of the special roll I got. It was a good size and tasted pretty fresh. I would definitely come back. It is a very small, local business, but it was an enjoyable experience and the food came out very quickly. I also really liked the sauce for the gyoza.

One of the best sushi spots in Waldorf!

They also have a bar with $5 specials all day, every day--which is a huge plus. The staff are always incredibly friendly and attentive, providing prompt service that makes the experience even better. If you're not in the mood for sushi, the ramen is a must-try--rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The wings also stand out with a very authentic taste that you don't find just anywhere. Overall, this spot is a hidden gem with great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

Against my better judgment, i shouldn't have ordered the Hawaii Roll -- the mango inside the roll gave me a bit of pause with consistency issue. Additionally, the rice on the sushi seemed gelatinous, like it was cooked too long. I didn't like it. The Tempura Roll was your standard fare. Lastly, while I love sashimi, the tuna offered with the chef's sampler was just ok. The star was the salmon -- buttery and smooth. Service was fine. We sat at the bar. Again, I wouldn't visit again, but try it for yourself. Cheers!

I noticed the cook was trying to work with what he had, however my cubes of steak were the smallest ever. It seemed like they tried to make two pieces out of one steak. I ordered extra egg in my hibachi but I don't like that they charged me $3/4 for one extra egg. Highway robbery...... I also really hate how they stick so many people at one table. You end up bumping elbows with your neighbor. The chef did a very good job cooking and entertaining. The ambiance was just like all the rest of the Sakura's.

The wontons were also good, as was the salad. The sushi, however, left a lot to be desired. It was on the hard side and not very flavorful.

First off I want to start off by saying the staff here was incredible. I was with my family and did…read morenot have the opportunity to get names, but every single staff member I saw was working hard, diligently, and with haste. Our server immediately greeted us with a great big smile, she took our drink orders and described some of the drinks to us. We put in an order for 2 spring rolls and 2 eggs rolls which were to die for. Perfectly crunchy, crispy, and full of flavor with great dipping sauce! They came out piping hot and delicious. I also got egg drop soup which simply cannot be beat. The soup was not too thick and not too thin or watery. The green onions were fresh. The crisped wontons had just the right amount of crunch. Together the dish was savory and delightfully flavorful. Now, my guest can often be difficult to please (as food must be extremely specific), but it's not ever usually a problem that a "good restaurant" can't handle. They handled it perfectly. We got the chicken with two winter veg, no sauce or mushrooms and add water chestnuts. It came out exactly that way. Perfect. Not only perfect but steamed to perfection. I also got the chicken w winter veggies--with sauce-- which is a brown gravy. What can I say OTHER than it was also perfect!! The meat was cooked to tender, not dry. The veggies were bright and deliciously tender, but still had a gentle crunch (the ultimate dish style!). My husband got the orange chicken and the spice was absolutely divine. The orange chicken sauce was pungent and sweet. If you like heat, this one is for you!! The chicken was crispy under the layer of aromatic, REAL orange flavored sauce. My other guest got the Mandarin combination plate, which featured a host of veggies, surf and turf meats, and a spicy brown sauce on top. Again, meat and veg cooked to perfect tenderness, with the veggies snapping and crunching just enough but tender enough to enjoy. Drinks were a teapot for the table (which may have been a bit strong for my guests, but I drank it!) A coconut punch (non alcoholic), which is a virgin iced Pina Colada. I didn't expect that, but I still guzzled it down. It came in a parrot glass, too!! So fun!! The rest of the table got coke and tea and were just as good. (Yes I tried everything). And we came here because we've been seeing their really amazing TikToks and want to contribute to bringing this WONDERFUL restaurant back into the folds of the community and wrap them in support. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

I made reservations for a group of 20 one week in advance, and I was told I'd be in a private room that sat 20: 10 people per table. I believe they have multiple party rooms with one seating up to 40 people, but I didn't check them out. A group of 11 of us arrived a bit early, and the hostess was able to seat us in the private room without having to wait for the rest of the party. I appreciated that as my mom is handicapped. My party consisted of both children and adults and the server (Yvonne, I believe) was amazing for everyone. She went above and beyond to take care of us, to include those at our second table they arrived a bit later than our reservation called for. Overall, the restaurant was perfect for a party, patient, and the food was great, per usual. Since I was celebrating both daughters' birthday, each chef gave a birthday presentation at each table for each girl. I appreciated that :) We will for sure be back. Good food and good drinks. Thanks, Hanabi!

I did wish that the steamed veggies were kept warm, as they were served cold. Don't forget to ask for Yum Yum sauce; this was a great complement to the dish. They do have packets of a generic hot sauce, which actually went well with the teriyaki. The portions are extremely generous, in which an order can easily feed 2 people. I honestly was a little apprehensive of this place, but I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was! Staff here are very welcoming and friendly.
