It’s taken me 10 years to talk my husband into giving this restaurant a try. Its location (at the end of a strip mall anchored by Hamden’s supermarket for poor people) made him suspicious. And when you’re eating raw fish, you want to be confident in the quality of your food. Despite the somewhat shady location, it’s a totally different experience once you step inside.
There’s a little pond with fish and turtles in it, some fake glowing cherry blossom trees (fun fact: that’s what “Sakura” means in Japanese), and a circle-shaped bar that all contribute to much better ambiance than you would expect in the price rite plaza. I’m only giving it four stars for ambiance though because a) my husband was weirded out by the fake fish on the wall in the bar area that he had to look at during the whole meal and b) the hibachi section is noisy and full of kids crying, people screaming, etc. If they could isolate the hibachi section a little better, it would be a more pleasant dining experience for everyone else.
Everything we ate was outstanding (including the “outstanding roll” – my husband’s favorite). Service was absolutely perfect – better than I’ve had in fancier restaurants. For example, we ordered a bunch of stuff including a couple soups. He asked if we want the soup first or everything as it’s ready. I really appreciate that. Too many times at other places they’ll give us our entrees before our starters arrive. I find that so annoying and it ruins the meal.
Anyhow, excellent food, perfect service, and surprisingly nice vibe inside (if you can ignore the loud hibachi people and fake fish mounted on walls).

I come here regularly, the service is always good and the staff is friendly, the food is great as well. I believe they are one of the better places to get the “bang for your buck” they keep the restaurant clean and it has a nice atmosphere I would highly recommend this establishment, I always enjoy it here

One of my favorite sushi restaurant. Always friendly and fast service and the food is amazing. I love that there is no extra charge for the soy wraps. Their fried ice cream and frozen mango mojito are to die for!!!

My favorite Hibachi spot!!! Food is always fresh and flavorful! The sauce the meat and vegetables are grilled in is amazing! Great portions! Try out a Scorpion Bowl!!! Ok so by now I have been numerous times and have never been disappointed!! The Chefs have great personalities and add excitement to your dining experience!! The kids would luv it!! I always have shrimp tempura and kani salad as an appetizer. Great portions and fresh ingredients make for a great meal!! Seafood is always fresh and meats are always tender and flavorful!!!

Typical hibachi restaurant, nothing very special. Decor is very out dated. Flavor for the steak was good but fried rice lacked. I heard they have another restaurant with better reviews, may try that one

Went here with my mother recently and the service was reprehensible, to put it kindly. There was an insect in my mother’s water, when we brought it to the attention of the staff they simply took the glass and walked away from the table. They never apologized or acknowledged the insect. To make matters worse, when we asked to speak with a manager they told us their manager wasn’t there. It’s been two days since this took place, I’ve called twice, the manager is still “not here.” I highly recommend AGAINST visiting here. I saw their last inspection was nearly a year ago, hopefully the next one is more thorough and ensures future customers won’t receive contaminated beverages.

She “not open for one person.” What is it about me? I will take my business elsewhere! I will NEVER eat here again. MLK – we have not overcome.
