The TRUTH about Hibachi of Sakura. You order and pay at the counter, you sit down with a number, you chill with some smooth jazz lightly playing on speakers aboth, then the food comes. This is my second time at H of S as I visit Ocala for business. Both the lunch and dinner were FANTASTIC. Tender quality meat cooked perfectly, and served piping hot. Cooked veggies that snap with freshness. Tasty rice, sauces, and seasoning. The restaurant is clean, bright, and colorful. Restrooms are well maintained. I travel often and see the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Seldom do I see a great little place like this with reasonable prices, good service, and fantastic food. Bravo!!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We were in the mood for Japanese Hibachi and found this place on Google. Thought we would be sitting at a typical Hibachi steakhouse. This was not the case. We walked in to what appears to be a mid-size restaurant where you order your food before sitting down. While surprised, the food did not disappoint. The owners and staff are friendly, as others have mentioned. The food was very flavorful and very well-portioned. The clear soup tastes authentic and not watered down. The food choices we made were served made-to-order and quickly brought to the table. It seems that the locals order Take Out from here frequently, as we saw many coming in to pick up their dinners after work. Our family of four ate plentifully and had some to take home as well. May not have gotten the hibachi table and entertainment that we thought, but definitely received the flavors of the food. Two comments as feedback to improve upon are: the fried rice can use a bit more veggies and moisture, and it would be good for a server to check on the table once the food is served. We will be back for more another time.
