Sakura

I stopped into Sakura the other day and had a pretty mixed experience. When I walked in, the hostess immediately asked if I was picking up or dining alone—but it was so loud inside that I had to ask her to repeat herself. The dining area is small, maybe ten tables total, and there’s no bar, so the noise really carries. I ordered edamame, vegetable tempura, and vegetable hibachi. They serve Pepsi products, which I appreciated. The edamame came out in about seven minutes, and the tempura followed just a few minutes later. I thought I was in the mood for edamame, but it turned out to be very plain—no extra salt or seasoning to give it a boost. The tempura, on the other hand, was piping hot and freshly fried, which was a plus. The dipping dashi just wasn’t sweet enough for my taste, though. The fried rice tasted a little off—hard to pinpoint exactly why—but it wasn’t my favorite. The highlight of the meal was definitely the vegetable hibachi. It was flavorful and cooked well, and I’d order that again. Overall, Sakura has some strong points, but there are a few areas that could use improvement.

What a gem in an unexpected place. Small plaza nothing around. Ordered the steak and chicken with a salad. The salad dressing was delicious just a great flavor. The steak and chicken flavorful and cook perfectly. The fried rice was cooked on the grill and not just rice covered with soy sauce. I tried the soup as well and enjoyed that as well. I will definitely be back during this trip. Our food was to go so dinning it must have been even better.
