Reviews for Sakura Grill in Haymarket, VA
The food is delicious! We ordered the Godzilla and Lobster Rolls. They were amazing. Got an order for my husband to go.... Definitely check it out! Read more
I feel a little bad giving them 2 stars because the service, the food, the environment and everything else was really good,... but??.. only while we were still inside the restaurant. After exiting the restaurant, the waitress followed my family outside.She wanted to tell us that we did not tip enough. On this given night, my mother who was visiting us wanted to pay the bill, andmy mother is not a big tipper. So I could understand where the waitress? frustration was coming from. The waitress expected moretip from my mom?? and unfortunately my mom was not willing to tip more. My mom is an elderly lady with limited funds, and so Icould understand her point of view, too. The waitress went on to explain that she expected 18%, and my mom put a little lessthan even 10%. I could see my mom?s reaction, and I understood right away that my mom was not in a position to tip more thanthat. At this point I interjected? I felt like the waitress was ?demanding? that my mom voluntarily tip more than ~10%. Iinterjected by excusing ourselves from the whole conversation, and the waitress walked away saying, ?next time, don?t pickus!? What a terrible experience?. I?ve been to Sakura before. I have tipped their staff well during my previous visits. In thisparticular visit, I learned that I will never return to Sakura. Tip is optional here. I know that the wait staff depend on tipto be able to earn a descent income, and that it is a large portion of their take home. I personally also used to work for tipat one point in my career, so I can complete empathize. But nothing changes the fact that tip is optional. You cannot ?demand?for a tip. That?s against the rules of civilization. Read more
First time here i had a great experience. Clean restaurant, friendly staff, excellent food (i got the hibachi chicken with... fried rice and veggies). Highly reccomend and will return Read more
Very affordable. Ordered the habachi dinner and it came with a soup and salad, it was delicious. Fried rice is an upcharge and... that is common. Our server was super polite and informative. Vegetarians be aware, the "clear soup" has a meat broth and the"miso soup" contains fish seasonings. I ordered double salad with my habachi. Sushi was fresh and presented beautifully. Read more
Well well, I stop going because Everytime I picked an order up the waitress is very rude with me. The last time I went before... tonight a different lady was polite so I decided to try it again. Well after confirming an already paid order with a host a young lady Jianje Ling grab me by my shirt as I was leaving this establishment. My shirt ripped as she tugged and during thistime four cooks grabbed me and pin me against the wall. Mean while Jianji Ling hits me in my gut about two times. No matter whatthe issue is the customers are always right and absolutely no reason to lay hands on another human beings without consequences.Wait for it! We will be right behind you. #BigTimeFresh sent em! For the record I've been there in the past with others peoplewho pick up orders as well but look different than me (color) & they are kind to them but with the same breath they are rude with my kind. Lady in the picture is who landed a punch to my ribs team.. Read more
We ate here on a Saturday evening and it took literally 20 to 25 minutes for our waitress to greet us and bring ice waters.... Because I got up and asked for them. My Tempura chicken dish was great and the Nigiri was a bit heavy on the rice. Our waitressnever followed up and my ice water was left empty for the whole meal. Overall the food was respectable but the service was poor. Read more
1st time here. Order was ready when promised and was correct. Poke bowl was good! Teriyaki chicken and side of steak was... disappointing for the price, and lacking flavor. I?d try again, avoiding all side items and appetizers. Second visit: got comboyaki udon, tasteless and not much meat. And they threw in octopus for some reason. Not good. Possibly because I didn?t tip.Don?t tip often when doing carryout. Will be my last visit. Read more
tuna poke and steak and shrimp hibachi! They also have amazing mango ice cream mochi!
