Sakura Japanese Steakhouse PERMANENTLY CLOSED

We have had sushi here 4 or 5 times and it was spectacular. We also tried the hibachi one night and it was also very good. The special rolls are really wonderful -- try the crab/lobster rolled in soy paper!

Our family four ate here for an hibachi dinner. Our chef was fun and friendly and did a great job entertaining us. The soup, salad, rice and veggies were all very good and our hibachi meats and fish were cooked perfectly. Service was excellent with plenty of staff taking care of us. The restaurant itself is surprisingly nice inside and much larger than it appears from outside. It's a little expensive for going to too often, but well worth it for an occasional treat.

We chose hibachi today and were a group of 5 people. The food was cooked in sequence and by the time the shrimp were eaten, the rice finally arrived and some time after that the vegetables and much later ( the rice was cold by then) the scallops ( i.e. shrimp and oh, they forgot to cook the chicken my friend ordered) Very bland everything and disorganized. When we finally received the bill we had been overcharged and had to wait for a correction. The waitress was very inexperienced and it was a very unpleasant experience. We will switch!!

First the service!!! My wife and I waited 10 minutes before being recognized. I had the spicy tuna roll and the shrimp tempura roll, both were very small and mediocre at best. The tuna was warmer than the tempura roll. My wife had the hibachi chicken which was tasteless and greasy! They are over priced and fail to execute. Plus a bottle of bud lite for $3.75.

Good ambience, food average, chicken from the Hibachi grill was bland. Service was good, waitresses and hostess friendly.

We received a flyer in the mail that stated Lunch menu Monday to Saturday 11 to 3. We decided to avoid the Valentine and weekend crowd on Saturday 2/14 to have lunch at the Hibachi grill section. We were handed dinner menus at 1pm, and when we inquired about the lunch menus were told that was not in effect as it was Valentines Day. The difference in price was around $6.00 per entree and we had dinner plans for a large meal. The advertisement should have stated that there was no lunch menu on holidays or a sign should have been placed at the entrance. I had to use my credit card to pay as I did not have enough cash and felt embarrassed to leave as we had already ordered a drink and were seated with other people. This is just not a good business practice and unethical.

The house was packed but the service was still good. We had a large party at the hibachi table and had a great time. The chef is entertaining but some of the jokes will get old fast. The food was delicious with generous portions. Some of our group had the sushi which they enjoyed. I tried the tempura vegetables but wasn't crazy about them. Not too much taste. Everything else was great.

Nice atmosphere, good menu. The hamachi (yellow tail) sushi was very good and they have lots of sushi on the menu and a very nice sushi bar plus tables and booths. The Thai dish with chicken, shrimp and mango was also very good. The coconut soup and shrimp egg roll that come with many dishes also very good. I tasted the yaki udon noodles and don't particularly like theirs, some people might (I prefer the yaki udon at Ai).

Overall a very nice addition to the restaurant choices in Palm Coast.

My waitress also was not very good at serving, needs some training maybe.

Food was great! And the hibachi chefs were amazing to watch and they made you laugh constantly. But the waitress that I had was slow slow slow slow slow. I didn't know I had to wait 10 minutes after my cup was empty to get a refill. All the other waitresses were on top of things apparently mine was new or something, I have no idea. I'll make sure I don't get her again. But besides for that, everything was great!
