Unfortunately it’s really gone downhill with the service and quality. Sat 20 minutes waiting to order in the freezing cold. We could actually see our breath. Whatever you do, DO NOT let them seat you by the metal escape door in winter. Even the workers know it’s cold in this corner.
After ordering, drinks took 40 minutes to arrive (bottled beer and a martini). The martini was underwhelming too. The waitress was extremely inattentive and running off as soon as she could. Someone seated at our table ended up pouring water refills for half the table because the waitress left after only refilling two cups and never returned.
Found a sharp bone in my chicken (surprising because it’s breast).
8pm reservation & seated but they didn’t start cooking until 9 (soup came around 8:35).
Really sad because it used to be an awesome experience. It’s still fun, but horribly slow service and high prices for the quality.

It was a nice experience. The hostess checked on this regularly in the gentleman , who cooked their food was very friendly.

Hibachi was done like usual but a great experience for someone who has never had it. Nice performance and cooked perfectly. Get a take home box. Tell your kids there will be some flames at the beginning so it doesn’t scare them
Then either a train or volcano to entertain you. Fun.

Had reservations at 7:00, arrived on time, waited to get seated for another 20 minutes with another party all to wait until 7:40 just to get waters and not checked on again. Ended up leaving after my straws were thrown to me, was absolutely not worth it, another party waited over an hour for just soup and salad. This place was great 10 years ago, not now.

Overall good experience, food was good, service was good. I would visit again.
One word of caution to those that plan to visit with a group larger than 4 people, gratuity is automatically added to your bill and is formatted suspiciously like it is tax and below that there is an area for additional gratuity on the total that includes the automatic gratuity. Deceptive business practices in my opinion.

***VEGETARIANS BEWARE***
We asked specifically atleast a dozen times for them to keep our vegetables separated from the meat and cooked first. They assured us they could. I said if they couldn’t that’s no problem. We would leave.
Lathered the vegatables and sautéed right in the meat. Then slapped them on our plate before we could stop them. Had to throw away 80% of the food. She tried to make it right and offered to cook more vegetables in the back. Didn’t have half of what was in the hibachi mix and they were totally RAW.
$200 later and I didn’t even get what I ordered. They still made me pay. I did. Because I’m not gonna cause a huge debate over it. But it was bad news bears and where we started off our experience excited and loving everything wanting to come back we will never set foot in this establishment again.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch on Thursday. Manager is always great. Sat at sushi bar. Very happy with the presentation and quality. We had the sashimi lunch with soup and salad and a Hanna roll. Highly recommend. Tom and Debi

We waited about 5 minutes, while the receptionist took a phone order. Dining area (non-hibachi) was small but nicely decorated. The waitress who seated us, with menus, apologized for the wait and asked about our day. Our waiter came about 10 minutes later and apologized for the delay. I ordered the sushi dinner w/eel and tobiko, no shrimp and no seeds. When he was bringing the eel out, he noticed the sesame seeds and took it back. GREAT CATCH! He apologized and told me my sushi dinner would be out shortly. I drank hot tea. My friend ordered the teriyaki (?) chicken. She was very pleased with the portions and texture of the meat and vegetables. Price including tip about $75-80. Two corrections, 1) refill the hot tea or switch to tea pots and 2) hire an extra waiter for the dining room. Overall, we were pleased with the ambiance, portions, presentation, and price. We would eat here again.

Interesting that the Chinese and Japanese restaurant joined forces. So they ask you what menu you want when you arrive. I was between the more expensive sushi sashimi combo and the chirashi and highly recommend the chirashi for quality and value. Lots of rice under the sashimi, coming out as a plate instead of a bowl.
While the white tuna was a little off and the miso soup was a bit strong, the rest of the sashimi was good. And the tobiko over the rice was a nice touch.

My business partner and I put together a last minute dinner meeting and showed up to Sakura Home without a reservation, during a busy dinner hour. Our server and host, Kenneth, took the extra steps to set us up in their traditional Japanese private dining room, which was quite a private and unique experience. The chefs presented us with an over-the-top delivery that dramatically exceeded expectations (see pics!). We were blown away! The fish was fresh, the rolls were creative, and the overall meal and service were truly exceptional. Thanks, Ken, for your excellent and thoughtful service. We’ll be back soon! Highly recommend Sakura Home for sushi or hibachi. Both are great.
