Sakura Japanese Steak House

This is by far my favorite sushi spot I've found in the area. I travel all the way from New London when I need a sushi fix. There are lots of rolls to choose from and all are very different. They're big rolls, too! I just wish I lived closer!

Oh, where do I even start with this culinary catastrophe? If I could give this place negative stars, I would. The hibachi display was less of a performance and more of a tragic comedy--our chef could have moonlighted as a juggler, except that he dropped his utensils not once, not twice, but four times. I suppose he was just trying to keep us on our toes!And rice served at the end of the meal? What a delightful surprise! Nothing says "fine dining" like a side of confusion with your dessert. I half-expected a candle to be lit in honor of our patience as we waited for what felt like an eternity for our actual orders. It's almost as if the entire table was playing a game of "Guess What You Ordered." Spoiler alert: nobody won.Now, let's talk about the food. The shrimp was so rubbery, I half-expected it to bounce right off the plate--if that's what they meant by "fresh," I'd hate to see what stale looks like. As for the tenderloin steak, calling it a "tenderloin" felt like an insult to any self-respecting cut of meat. I'm not sure if it was a strip steak masquerading in a cheap tuxedo or just a very sad knock-off trying desperately to fit in. Either way, it was a far cry from the tender morsel I was promised.And let's not forget the pièce de résistance: our waiter casually setting down our soup on top of a seat that was dripping water into one of the bowls. Nothing quite like a side of mystery moisture to enhance your dining experience! I can only wonder how this establishment manages to pass health codes--perhaps they have a secret handshake with the inspectors.If someone offered me a free meal here, I'd politely decline and suggest they save it for someone with significantly lower standards. Truly, there are far better ways to spend an evening than enduring this culinary disaster. Bravo, you've managed to create an experience so unforgettable that I will not be returning, even if it were on the house!

Mixed feelings with this restaurant. The Hibachi Lunch Special was great. My Philadelphia Roll was very average. Some things about this Japanese Steakhouse was a little weird. Didn't expect the (a little too loud) techno music playing... in a Japanese restaurant! Slot machines seemed a bit different too. The temperature was way colder than I'd like (and if I'm a little cold... a normal person had to be freezing). The service was great. Food came out relatively quick, which was nice since it was a lunch on a workday. I enjoyed the Chicken and Hibachi Lunch Special. Came with your choice of Fried Rice or Noodles and either soup or salad . The meal looked a little on the small side when it first came out, but turned out to be more than enough. The Philly Roll was kind of plain. Didn't have a lot of flavor. Easily a step up from grocery store sushi, but wasn't a roll I'd go out if my way to order again.

I had the sushi craving HIT as soon as I finished swimming laps at the hotel. They had about 40 mins before closing and the waitress was SO kind to let myself and a few other diners in.I ordered their miso, hand rolls, amaebi and a couple of nigiris. HOWEVER, the highlight of the night was the Sexy Salmon appetizer. Sexy Salmon - Mango, cucumbers, jalapenos wrapped in salmon Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and check them out, service is incredible!

I enjoy myself everytime I stop by. Masterfully prepared sushi and a very attentive staff. They have hibachi grills in the other room, too.

Always a good time when we come here. Good service. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Everyone wears masks.We came for my MIL's birthday and they did a cute song and fried ice cream treat for her. She loved it. Food is standard for the area. Not much to choose from in terms of asian cuisines, but this place has good fresh sushi. Hibachi was decent as well. Typical tricks and comedy. Prices can be somewhat spendy but overall worth the meal and time.Drinks are delicious too if you like unique drinks. Has a variety of sweet and tart options.Will be back again for sure. It's turned into our go to sushi spot. Happy eating!

The food is better than the atmosphere and service. With some maintenance and some better front of house management, this place could be fantastic. We came here on a Thursday evening, after dinner rush. The staff was bustling about, and it was several minutes before our presence was acknowledged or greeted, let alone seated. The bar dining area seems like it was hip and hot years ago, but is now worn and tired. The booths are almost all ripped, some duct taped together. The back dining room is in better condition. A handwritten sign on a sheet of humudity-wrinkled paper advertises a food item, with the price scribbled out and re-written with a different color sharpie. Our server came about 10 min later to get our drink order, but they were out of ingredients to make the drinks we wanted. She was frazzled and doing her best. They were short staffed that evening.I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food itself. My teriyaki beef bento box was perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned. The pork gyoza, also perfectly made and tasty. The 3 sushi rolls were amazing too. They had substituted some items in the bento box with similar items, (pork gyoza and 2 tempura shrimp instead of shrimp gyoza we ordered). That was fine, bit I would have preferred they got our consent first.With better management, I would return and easily give them 5 stars.

We had a party of four. We were promptly seated and greeted by our server Angie, she was amazing; fun, energetic, and welcoming. We ordered 3 sushi rolls which came out first as expected and it was quite delicious. Spicy tuna and California roll (our baseline standard) and we tried the house Wisconsin roll. That was the best of all three. On to dinner We all ate on the hibachi side: chicken with noodles, steak and scallops, chicken with fried rice and my little guy got the katsu chicken from the kitchen. All meals were very good. The chef was entertaining, we sat with another group that had some littles (3-4yo). He did a great job involving them and it was a great experience. We will definitely visit again.

Great food and excellent service! Waiter was very knowledgeable and had lots of suggestions which turned out fabulous!

Amazing sushi. I love the sakura roll!!! If I could give 10 stars I would! We will definitely be back
