Sakura Hawaii BBQ & Ramen

I was told to try this by someone who grew up in Hawaii, she said it was pretty authentic! I had a positive experience here. We ordered at the counter and ate in, although it's clear they fulfill a lot of online orders. The space was very clean and organized. Lots to choose from on the menu. My husband ordered General Tsos, and I got the Hawaiian BBQ plate. We also ordered the gyoza. We enjoyed our food and would get it again.

I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be going back. The spice was perfect, the broth was very flavorful. The service was amazing. Hope you enjoy it.

Sakura is a small restaurant in a shopping plaza that seems to be mostly busy with carry out but does have about 6 tables to dine in. You order at the counter but they have menus you can read while you are seated. Service was friendly and quick. All of our food was well seasoned, cooked well and arrived fresh and hot with huge portions and surprisingly lovely presentation. We had the Hawaiian BBQ short ribs, Tonkotsu Ramen, Hawaiian shrimp fried rice and chicken egg rolls. All were excellent and we have plenty of leftovers for a second meal. We'll definitely be back.

The Sakura Hawaiian BBQ and Ramen is located closer to the Reynoldsburg area. The restaurant is small, but do have a couple table for dinning in. Outside from the Hawaiian BBQ item, they also offer sushi, ramen and hibachi on their menu. For the Hawaiian BBQ option, you can pick 2 or 3 meats and come with vegetables, macaroni salad and steam rice. I got the BBQ chicken, BBQ Beef and Grilled Shrimp. Each of the meat is nicely charred and have the right amount of flavor. It you prefer some additional seasoning, dip right into the BBQ sauce come on the side. Also, got some Takoyaki and Fried Calamari. The BBQ plate itself is quite by itself and definitely can fill you up. I will have to come back to try out their ramen next time.

SEVEN WORDS: ASOAN AAUAN STIR FEY WITH A HIBACHI FLAUR..Let me start of by saying, "Wow! That was totally unexpected. ".My wife, a Filipina, had eaten here multiple times with her Filipna friends - and this is all their favorite Asian restaurant of ANY KIND on the East Side....and, whooboy, they were absolutely right. Even better than I could have imagined. .The Restaurant itself is like a standard Chinese restaurant where you order at a cash register and a server either calls your name or brings the food tableside - which is how the food is served here. Customers grab drinks from a cooler, but that's par for the course. I ordered Salmon & Chicken Hibachi. My partner ordered Beef Short Ribs. Both meals came with Rice. My wife ordered White Rice,b y t I got stuck with Fried Rice. It's okay; my fault (and maybe the cashiers fault, too) for assuming I'd get white rice..Food came out in about 5 and 13 minutes (chicken came slower). Still, very reasonable speed. Our servings were HUGE, and both meals were so very yummy, I could hardly believe it. My Chicken and Salmon Hibachi was more complex than you'd velieve by checking the menu. It came out like a mesium-cookes Salmon Steak. The flank was moderately Blankenship by a rub,but understated. White Breast Chicken Cubes were excellently fried, probably pre Grilled slowly, then flash fried in a Wok with Sesame Oil..Man...this dish was great - on par with the best of Chinese I've eaten...but it's more like Lemongrass Asian than an old school Mark Pis. Everything was done pretty perfectly..To be honest, I cannot wait to return to try something new.

The place is smaller inside but for me it was all about the food. I got the pick 2 meats, Katsu chicken and bbq beef along with white rice and macaroni salad. The Katsu was amazing. Pounded flat with the crunchiest coating, served with a sweet n sour sauce. They give you a generous portion but it was so good I wanted more lol. The bbq beef has a flavor more towards Bulgogi and to my surprise, had grilled onions!! I was in Heaven with this plate all around. The sauce that comes along side wasn't your traditional sweet teriyaki but like a Cumin chili powder soy that was a little different. I prefer the more traditional. Maybe it was for the Katsu. Overall for $16 it was well worth it. Not exactly a date night type of spot, but definitely a "it's crappy out so Netflix and Hawaiian takeout" kinda spot.

The food was great! We ordered takeout and I appreciate the packaging. It's better than the usual takeout. Flavor-wise everything tasted great! The house fried rice was loaded with meats and pineapple 5/5, grilled shrimp was juicy and flavorful 5/5, short rib was good like most short ribs 5/5, chicken bbq was okay 4/5. The side macaroni was great too 4/5 but I wish it indicated that meals always come with the side macaroni as ordering it separately was $4.5. No biggie, our experience was still pretty good.

Don't know what to think about these restaurant, usually I try to see the good side of everything, but unfortunately, this time, at this place it's not the case. Since we entered, there was a guy speaking out loud during a phone call using the speaker, he wasn't even a customer, he was just a DoorDash driver, I couldn't enjoy my time here or my meal and nobody said anything about this guy bothering clients. We ordered two Ramens, being 100% honest, it wasn't good. The broth wasn't hot and it lacked a lot of flavor. The location wasn't clean, in their defense it was a really busy time, but I don't think that would be an excuse to have your restaurant dirty. The prices are super high for what they offer. IDK if the sushi is good but I am not going to find out. Is sad to say but I won't come back.

The food was absolutely amazing! It was delicious & beautifully presented. The employees were sweet, friendly, & helpful. The inside decor was cute as well! We are all stuffed & happy! Ready for a nap

I ordered the 3 meats bbq beef. Bbq chicken, grilled shrimp, fried rice, macaroni salad, chicken egg rolls, and fried chicken tenders appetizers. This was for pick up.The fried rice grilled shrimp BBQ beef were good. The BBQ chicken was okay. The egg rolls were nothing special, and the fried chicken was pretty dry. Overall, I wouldn't say I was missing out on much. The fried rice had some eggs in them, which spruced it up a bit.
