Reviews for Sakura Japanese Steak, Seafood House & Sushi Bar in Laurel, MD

Was on a short time schedule, so ate at the bar. Ordered the scallops with shrimp flambe. The food came quickly and tasted... good. Next time, I will go with someone and eat at the tables to have the live chef experience. Read more

Firstly the food tasted good. Gave three stars for two reasons. We?ve been to Sakura before and the chef was very enthusiastic,... fun and makes jokes, so the bar was set high. Our chef was ok, but was just doing his job. He also took a while to start whichmade us notice that the area smelled old and musty and the bathroom floors were sticky. Read more

Came in on a Wednesday night and wasn't too crowded. Took a while for the chef to start cooking but I'm guessing this was... because they were hoping more people might show up. The food was on point and the chef was really good at what he does. Verypleasant manner and overall good service. Will definitely be back! Read more

I want to start off with this has been a go to spot for myself and my family for years and have always had a great experience,... unfortunately this time was not the case. Our cook was very non talkative and did none of the normal things you see as far asthe experience you normally get. The food did not hit the mark for what is normally provided and the this that has me mostirritated and upset is now they are charging a ?Service Charge? that was never charged in the many time of going there before.I?d understand a service charge for a larger party and if it is disclosed upfront like many restaurants do but this was neverexplained and our party was only two adults and a child, then when you receive the check there it is a service charge that wasjust over 18% of the total bill. I believe if there is a service charge it should be stated prior to being seated and evenposted. Very dissatisfied and disappointed with this experience. Read more

I would have rated 5 stars, but we were divided in spite of being the only people at our hibachi. But other than that it was an... excellent experience. The food was delicious, filling, and service was prompt. The price s were some what expensive, but itwas worth it. Read more

About 20 years since i went there. Was a spontaneous decision with a friend. It was a sit around the table with other customers... and chefs doing gymnastics while cooking. It wasn't what i was expecting but despite the waitress who was still learning englishthe atmosphere was relaxing. We had salmon mushrooms scallops and shrimp with vegetables. It was all good the vegitable weredelicious and plentiful. They brought a take home box without us asking knowing it was more than we could eat. The table wasfun and we all got along. It was a nice change Read more

Really enjoyed our time here. The food is delicious and the performance was a blast. We went on a Thursday night and had no... wait. The filet and scallops is definitely worth it. In hindsight I would get the fried rice instead of steamed. Ordered thelarge sake and it's definitely worth it. $9 Read more

Although this place was difficult to find (see attached photos for the sign to look for), the food was very good. They offered... the full hibachi experience, a sushi bar, or table service that serves everything that was available at the hibachi. They offera very unique chicken liver appetizer that was actually pretty good, as well as shrimp. The portion size was quite large andplenty of food for the price paid. I recommend this restaurant.
