Sakura Japanese Steak, Seafood House & Sushi Bar - Japanese restaurant in Waldorf - 3205 Plaza Dr #4861, USA

9/26/23 I would say that when we were here, we did not take full advantage of the experience they were offering. We were somewhat in a time crunch and decide to not do the live hibachi chef cooking our meal. It was school night for our daughter and we needed to move along. I ordered the ribeye and chicken and though it tasted great, there wasn't anything special with it. But I'm pretty sure if it was on the hibachi table the whole experience would have been different. I also ordered a rainbow roll and that was awesome as it had generous meat - unlike the Japanese restaurants around the area. So with sushi rolls they are on point as far as the price point goes. Maybe next time if we comeback we'll do the hibachi and I'm confident it will be different and better.

Chairs are in bad shape, carpet is ripped up, soup was cold, salad poorly made, chef over cooked all of the food. Needless to say you get what you paid for. I highly recommend eating somewhere else

Entertaining and memorable birthday dinner! We all enjoyed the quality, freshness and taste of the food! We also enjoyed the friendliness and showmanship of our chef - especially the kids! Thank you for a wonderful celebration!

We celebrated our daughter's birthday. The waitress was friendly, the Chef was hilarious and our food was cooked in front of us. My husband and daughter agreed that this was the greatest experience. RICK can cook for us ANYTIME (don't forget the humor)! Wonderful time was had by all! Thanks so very much for making our daughter 's BIRTHDAY such a memorable day!

My food was not made correct one day which really upset me but I called back up to them and they took care of me and my mom. We go there often so it was disappointing to get food of that quality but they got us new food and also showed the chefs our old food to ensure quality control for the future. Very good managing!

The wait is never to long. The food is freshly prepared in front of you. They have great sushi and rolls.The food is always good. You will get seated with other people at a big grill. You will leave full and happy.

My family and I went here the other day. Food and service was overall good! However if you have any allergies, please make it clear before they start cooking. Don’t make the same mistake as me assuming a chef would know not to cook chicken on the same area as where the seafood was cooked 🥴. My son has a seafood allergy and after seeing the cross contamination, we had to have his chicken cooked separately. The order the food was cooked was also off. Rice, seafood, chicken and vegetables dead last.

My SIL decided to celebrate her birthday here and I was excited to try Sakura because I had never been. Not a lot of parking for the amount of service rendered, but you can park in the shopping center parking lot for overflow parking. We visited on a Saturday and Sakura was very busy. Our wait wasn't long and we were seated at our station-we had enough people to have our own. If you do not have enough people, you will be seated with other parties to occupy a station. My hubby ordered the filet mignon, chicken, and shrimp. I ordered the filet mignon, lobster, and shrimp. My appetizer of choice were mushrooms; his were 2 shrimp flambe. I chose the ginger dressing salad while my hubby and his family ordered the sweet onion dressing salad. I really enjoyed the ginger dressing-refreshing flavor. The quality of the filet mignon was a 8 out of 10 which in my books is a very good rating. The lobster was good, but nothing special was added to make it delicious. And the quality of the shrimp was more so a 5 out of 10 - lack of firmness, soft. However, the shrimp flambe shrimp had more firmness and flavor with a rating of 7 out of 10. The experience was awesome; to have your food cooked in front of you is something everyone should experience. Overall, Sakura gets a 7 out of 10 (ambiance, experience, and quality of food).
