Sakura Japanese Steakhouse

So this USE to be my favorite go to spot for japanese. The last THREE times wasn’t good at all. The time before the last time they served us SPOILED steak. When i informed the owner (who knows me because of how often I frequented their restaurant) she told me that yea they knew it was spoiled and that sometimes the shrimp and chicken is spoiled too because of the place they order it from but its not their fault!!! So she knew and still serves it!!! She only credited me a potion of my meal to take off the steak only and I didn’t eat ANY of it because my stomach was upset after that. I only came back after that with my job for a work dinner and again it was not good!!! I am VERY disappointed because this was my favorite restaurant!!! I don’t know what happened but they aren’t good at all anymore!!!

Took a little while for cook like most hibachi places but amazing cook very entertaining amazing food

Yummy, I’m a fan of sushi and the standards here are excellent the habatchi grill cooking is also available as well as the full menu. I can’t speak from personal knowledge about that quality but their always busy and well worth a visit.

A bit pricy, but the quality and portions are legit. Isn’t the best and certainly isn’t the worst in town. Can’t go wrong here folks.

The best Japanese food my family has had in the area. Their weekday lunches are very reasonably priced and their hibachi style meals are even better. We always opt for spicy rice and I would highly recommend it.
The staff has always been welcoming and attentive. They usually remember us and it makes us feel important or at least appreciated. The prices are cheaper than most of the other restaurants of this nature. If anyone asks us for a Japanese food recommendation, we recommend Sakura!

Amazing cuisine!!! This is the best Asian food we have had since leaving Asia!!! The Udon is perfect, and the fried sushi is up there with all the ones we tasted abroad!

One of the best sushi ever and wont break the bank! And definitely the best miso soup Ive ever had! You MUST try the Top Secret special roll, you’ll be like OMG!

Great waitress, great food, we had steak, shrimp, salmon, and scallops all tasted amazing. The Yum Yum sauce is the best always. The chief made it fun for everyone and did a great show while cooking. Will definitely come back.

Ordered the avocado rolls with soy paper instead of seaweed over the phone during my 30 minute lunch. Went to pick it up in a hurry and got back to work ready to eat, only to find out they used seaweed instead of what I asked for. Called back and explained to them the situation, they said they wouldn’t be able to make my order for another 20 minutes. I’m sorry but if you messed up a order shouldn’t they be top priority? It’s partially my fault for not checking but to top it off they had horrible customer service. Waste of $ 8.

Love this place! I have eaten here several times so my full stars review is on point… trust me. I have eaten at the sushi counter, in a booth, and at the grill and each place is perfect. The specialty sushi is the best. Try different rolls to find your favorite. My favorite is the kamikaze. If you want the full grill experience then sit and be ready to be served one course at a time. Don’t worry because while your salad and soup is being enjoyed the chef gives a performance like most Japanese Steak Houses. The chefs are polite, humorous, and well skilled. I suggest the shrimp and scallops. Cooked perfectly on a flat grill, the seafood melts in your mouth. Now on to my true favorite dish at Sakura. Udon soup. Simply put it is a large wheat noodle served in a seafood broth with crab, shrimp, broccoli, mushrooms, and other veggies. This soup comes in a cast iron pot and is plenty to share amongst 4 if you wish. Ordering the soup and 1 specialty sushi roll is about $ 30 plus tip. A perfect meal at a perfect price. I was bewildered by the large glasses that they use. I could not finish my glass of water when I usually get at least 1 refill. My husband however, drinks sweet tea like only southern boys do so he of course got a refill. I always recommend this restaurant to those looking for delicious food away from the burger/​pizza phenom of this city. Now if someone can tell where to get a good antipasti salad my Clarksville dining experience will be complete.

Our lunch was very affordable and delicious. It was also pretty quick, which is nice for those on a short lunch break. I’ll definitely come back!

This use to be our favorite Japanese spot, but the SERVICE, FOOD & Quality is HORRIBLE now!
Also they keep overcharging us and then pretend to not understand what we are explaining.

A little stingy with the portions of meet here. The lunch bento box is very affordable here. About the price of a combo at Arby’s. For the price at dinner. They should give a little more meat.

Soooo much delicious food! The scallops were cooked perfectly and I wanted to drink the Yum Yum sauce with a straw.

I decided to give Sakura a try after hearing about their insanely inexpensive lunch prices and decent menu. Upon arrival, there were only a few other people seated. Our server came over immediately to take our drink order. I went with miso soup and a sushi roll. The miso soup was brought out quickly. It tasted overcooked. The tofu’s texture and color was off. I had two bites and pushed it aside. The roll came out next. The sushi itself wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great either. It did not taste «fresh». It reminded me a lot of the pre-​made sushi you buy in a grocery store. The bill was in fact inexpensive at least.
Both the outside and in are a little run down. It was dark inside with the blinds closed even though it was a sunny day. I would be willing to come back to try the hibachi grill but probably would skip the sushi.

Hands down the best lunch bento box in clarksville! Since it’s was my first bento when I tried it here. I went with my friend to try sakura’s lunch special… and we were hooked!
I’m from memphis and I am only here for school, so to come across good bento box this delicious has been amazing!
Not to mention their dirty old man roll, you have to try it!!!
Food is affordable and delicious, I will be ordering their bento boxes to go soon!

I was disappointed in it honestly. They had a great variety and many of the standard rolls. But I rather dislike it when they «Americanize» the rolls. They end up too huge and I have to struggle to eat them!
Anyhow…probably won’t go back here again

Food and service is always great. Love the sushi as well.

Great place. The owners recognize you if you are a regular. This is one of my top 3 sushi places I have been to.
They have both a sushi bar and a habachi grill depending on what you want. They are both delicious but the habachi is slightly more expensive than expected. I do think the habachi is worth it though.

Exceptional foods:
Philidelphia roll, California roll, green tea ice cream, and shrimp/​scallops.
Here is a gaurantee… you will not leave this place without having to get a to-​go box. They serve soup, salad, rice, and noodles with every meal prepared on the grill in front of you. The food had flavor, it was all prepared correctly (everybody’s preference for cooking level of steak), and a portion of the food was given to everyone equally. Even the two little girls got a mini amount of noodles and rice. I looked at it as going above and beyond to include every at the «table».
Another thing that stuck out to me was how this place entertained its guests. Our cook made little rice balls and gave everyone a chance to catch it in their mouth! It was awesome, I was the only one that caught it for the record lol Not subject to just our group was an older lady going around with chop sticks and paper umbrellas fixing younger girls hair up in a bun. I have a picture posted of that for yall to see :)
I loved this place, and I can almost promise that if everyone had the experience that I did they would love it just as much! Remember that everyone gets a dip of rainbow sherbet ice cream afterwards which I dont ever recall getting a free desert at another japanese steakhouse. I always order the green tea ice cream. Its $ 2.50 for two big scoops and whip cream. SOOOO worth it! You guys have got to try this place at least once!!!
