Sakura Japanese Steakhouse

Just finished a delicious meal here, and it was a 5/5. We’ve had high end sushi in Los Angeles and this is definitely up there in quality and service. The lobby is very pretty and impeccably clean. It’s also pretty laid back and quiet. Compared to our recent poor Fargo sushi experience, this one knocked it out of the park. Our whole meal only took an hour and our food was ready within 20 mins, cocktails, appetizers, boba teas and all. The taro tea tastes authentic and wasn’t overly sweet which I appreciate, because so many other “taro” flavors I’ve had are really artificially floral and kinda gross. Johnny was a super awesome server and very polite and fast. He also made us laugh taking our IDs and had a great sense of humor. The bartender also made delicious drinks - we had the tokyo tea and pomegranate flirtini - both stellar. The food was beautifully presented and super tasty. The shaggy dog roll is both ours and our kids’ favorites, but all were amazing. Our whole meal with 7-8 rolls, a side of vegetables and teriyaki chicken entree + 3 cocktails and 2 boba teas were 170$, and staff definitely earned their 25% tip. We don’t go out often because we intend to splurge on the art and skill it takes to make a meal like this extraordinary, but we’ll definitely be back and budgeting for another great experience. I’ve also sampled their to-go service for a few rolls, and that came out right on time and was just as good in quality. If you’re celiac/gluten free, you can’t be guaranteed to have no cross contamination when dining out, but staff here really tries and will label/separate your soy sauces and do their best to accommodate an allergy restriction. Thank you so much to counter/serving staff, sushi chefs and hibachi chefs that prepared our meal!

Awesome food! Came in with my husband he had hibachi grill. I have dietary restrictions and was able to get gluten free. Sushi was delicious. What a fun night! Great food and atmosphere!
