Sakura Japanese Steak, Seafood House & Sushi Bar

We decided to try out Sakura on a weekday evening, bringing along my mom and younger sister for their very first hibachi dinner. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of our expectations. Having visited several hibachi restaurants before, I always looked forward to the entertaining performances and lively interactions with the chefs that make the meal enjoyable. However, this time, the atmosphere was noticeably dry and lacked the usual excitement. The focus seemed to be solely on the cooking, with minimal conversation or engagement from the hibachi chef. Service-wise, things didn’t improve. About a minute after the chef left, our server arrived with takeout boxes without asking if we needed anything else. She returned 20 minutes later, again offering boxes but never inquiring if we wanted additional items like drinks or desserts. By that point, my cocktail was already finished, and although I was considering ordering more, the lack of attentiveness made me decide to just pay and leave. In terms of value, the experience felt overpriced for what was offered. I believe I could have enjoyed a comparable hibachi meal at a lower cost elsewhere, especially since the entertainment aspect was missing. The two star is for the cocktail and an open concept place. Overall, we won’t recommend this place

Dear General Manager, On Sunday evening, March 31st, our party of five dined at your Tyson Corner (Viana) establishment. After a 30-minute wait, we were seated at a table and grill that were visibly unclean and sticky. Despite expressing our concerns to the waiter, who indicated the grill would be cleaned by the cook, we found the initial state unacceptable. We were expected to consume salads, soups, and appetizers in an unsanitary environment. A subsequent attempt to clean the table by a busser with a soiled towel further compounded our dissatisfaction. Furthermore, my attempt to address this matter with the manager was met with apparent indifference. This experience was deeply disappointing and has significantly impacted our perception of your restaurant. While I understand that grills require cleaning, the table should have been thoroughly cleaned before seating guests. This level of uncleanliness and the lack of concern from management are unacceptable. I have attached photos as evidence of the unacceptable conditions. While I have no intention of returning, I hope you take this complaint seriously and implement necessary improvements to ensure cleanliness, professionalism, and guest satisfaction moving forward. Thank YOu! -Radwan

Great place for dinner and a show. My wife and I dropped in for dinner. We waited just a few minutes for other diners to fill the table, all the while the staff made she we were taken care of. They brought us soup/salad before the tabled filled, which was nice to wet the appetite. The food is excellent - portions good, well seasoned, and perfectly good. Can't be the show, too, and catching shrimp. Great experience, highly recommended.

We were very disappointed with the sushi - spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and salmon/avocado rolls. The presentation of the rolls was not appetizing, and the rolls themselves were not uniform. Flavor was non rememberable. We came based on the reviews but left unhappy and hungry as we left half of our rolls. N the bright side, The price for the sushi/lunch deal is very reasonable. Maybe it’s the Hibachi that garners the good reviews.

We arrived at 8:44 and The service from when we first entered wasn’t great, the guy at the friend desk and the waiter made us feel like they wanted us to leave. And the waiter tried to charge us for a 6 month old who was on his stroller when the manger specifically told him not to. But the chef Jason and the manger were great, when we told the manger about our experience she apologized and ensured us that she would talk to them so this doesn’t happen again.

It was a family dinner; one food that all of us agree on is hibachi and sushi. Sushi quality has always been top-class. enough choices on the menu and great looking cocktails. Chef at the hibachi table was courteous, cooked the food just right, and funny. Great family ambience, if you’re looking for a quiet dinner then you can sit on the Sushi-only section. All in all neat, clean and great vibes.

Visited Sakura restaurant in Vienna, Virginia, today around 3 PM (Sunday). The place was quite calm with very few people around, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was exceptionally nice, polite, and friendly, which added to the pleasant experience. We ordered a special that included three items on the plate. The fish on top of rice was fresh and delightful. The chicken teriyaki, while decent, was a bit salty and lacked a certain flavor, and the fried rice could have used a bit more salt. Despite this, the presentation of the dishes was impressive. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and am looking forward to trying more sushi options next time. I like the place and would recommend checking it out.

My boyfriend and I recently had a fun dinner experience. The chef cooked right in front of us, it was entertaining and engaging, adding a unique touch to the meal. The menu offered a wide variety of options to cater to all diets, and the portions were generous. I found the food to be extremely high in sodium due to the heavy use of soy sauce and other sauces. It's definitely a good idea to drink lots of water during and after the meal. Overall, it was a fun experience, but the food's high sodium and oil content were drawbacks for me.
