Sakura

The sushi is amazing! The hibachi shrimp had the perfect crunchy outside and were super tender on the inside. Owners are lovely people and you can tell through the energy of the food. Would highly recommend!

Tables are widely spaced so even if it's full it's never crowded. The space is nicely decorated and always spotless. You order at the counter and they bring the order to your table. Lots of photos for those who need a visible when ordering. Portionare generous but their focus is quality. Flavors are phenomenal!

They will take your order incorrectly and tell you the ticket doesn’t state what you asked for. Well, isn’t that obvious? Argue with you and waste your time until you give up. Then offer for you to pay more for what was supposed to be the first time. Ask you to waste your time and gas by driving back for you to pay more and waste more time. There’s other Japanese style restaurants that offer better value and quantity than this place. I go here sometimes because they are close. I won’t again. I can’t get past the raw vegetables since it’s a drive thru but I won’t tolerate horrible service too. I tried to call and settle the issue. It was an absolute awful customer service experience.

The food here is GREAT! And what is even better (and hard to come by these days) is the great customer service. Every person that has attended to us here always has a great attitude, smile on their faces, and goes above and beyond what most places do. This is definitely our new spot. Thank you guys so much!

Defiantly the best taste of Japanese food in the area. Every item was cooked perfectly. Also a big win was everything we had was half the price of ichidan or kabuki. This is our new favorite Japanese restaurant hands down.

We stopped in randomly for lunch today and were super impressed! Vegetables were fresh and crisp and juicy and the steak chicken and shrimp were all phenomenal- large sized shrimp were very fresh and not rubbery, chicken was very flavorful and juicy, and the steak did not even require a knife. 5 stars it was delicious and we will be back! Note- I got the dinner size portion and was not upset at the price at all.... Well worth it!

My first time to this place and i was super impressed with how much food you get with the meal with the cost. The service was great too. He was polite and listened to my picky eater requests. It’s a quiet little place to sit and eat with cute decor. I love they had ramune to enjoy with my meal. My chicken teriyaki was flavorful and the rice was cooked perfectly. Ginger dressing on the salad was good too. An all around great place to grab a bite to eat at a good price 💕

Very welcoming and great service. Delicious food at a great price. Ordered the Chicken Hibachi to-go , comes with soup or salad for $9.99. I waited in my truck and the Chef brought it out to me hot and fresh about 10 minutes later. Awesome 👌

One of my favorites restaurants is the Japanese Hibachi Restaurant. Knowing this, a friend of mine invited me to eat at Sakura, located in Salem, Virginia. A relatively small family-owned restaurant, established in the year 2000 and reasantly renovated. With simple yet elegant decor, it establishes a wonderful mood since the time you enter the restaurant. When you enter there is a counter where you order your food after viewing the menu high above behind the counter. A welcoming young man greeted us and took our order. My friend ordered the Steak and Chicken Hibachi and I ordered the Steak and Shrimp. We both ordered the salad side item, although I wished it would also have included their soup as well. To drink we ordered two sodas. We then went and sat at one of the booths after filling our cups with our drinks from the soda machine. Our server brought our salads. The salad was fresh and very tasted with the salad dressing. The dining room was very elegant yet with a comfortable ambiance. The main entrées arrived in a very nice presentation with the vegetables including zucchini, broccoli, carrots, and onions. The fried looked and tasted delicious as well as the shrimps. However, I was disappointed with the flavor of the pieces of steak. They tasted like if the meat was not fresh, almost spoiled. And this seemed to damage our otherwise wonderful dining experience. I urge the owner and cook of the restaurant to put more attention to the quality of the food by keeping better track of the meat and the temperature control of the freezer where it is stored. I liked this restaurant and if the meat situation is corrected I would definitely recommend it and also return without any hesitation.

great service and the food was also very good! Drive thru was pretty fast. I will definitely be back.

Food is not good anymore. No zucchini anymore now they give you a few sad pieces of broccoli. Terribly overpriced. If I want broccoli I'll get Chinese.

We used to go to the old Sakura quite a bit and really loves the friendliness of the owners and the quality of the food and the price. Since the new owners took over and renovated the space, they limited the menu a bit, but I must say it is phenomenal, my wife brought home a hibachi shrimp and a hibachi chicken dish tonight and the food was perfectly cooked delicious and value for money. It was amazing the crab Rangoon's are the best I've had in Roanoke loved it loved it loved it give it up!

Tried the Hawaiian poke for the first time and was absolutely wonderful! A must try!

Great food great service with wonderful cheap and delicious food for this economy and on top of the food the atmosphere and attitude of the store employees are great, kind, and caring.

The food was delicious as always and our server was so kind and attentive! It was a quiet atmosphere, so perfect for having conversations and not needing to yell over the music !

Stopped in as they have just opened. The food was fast and very fresh. Friendly service and accommodating. We had the shrimp and steak hibachi and it was delicious. The place has a cool decor and feel. We're going to be back again.

I've been going to this Sakura since I was a teenager. It has always been the BEST. Super friendly staff, delicious hot food, and not bad price. The staff is very quick with preparing and helping you.

Haven't been here in over a year. Tried again, and was still not particularly impressed. Requested rare steak, came out closer to medium, not even midrare. No atmosphere at all. Decor was blaahhh. We sat at a table, and were treated to completely straight-back chairs. Left early since my back was not happy!

We ordered two hibachi chicken/steak dinners. The steak was very chewy and gamey taste and the chicken was slimy! I threw it all in the trash not worth the money. So upsetting because the other Sakura on Williamson rd was soooo good before they had to shut down.

So glad they have reopened! A different setup but still wonderful food. Only thing is they don't include the soup with the meals. Miss that.
