I made a reservation for 7:00 for a Homecoming dinner, and they were really packed! I didn’t mind waiting because it just showed me how popular this place is. We ended up waiting about 47 minutes to get seated, but once we did, it was definitely worth it. We really liked our cook! He was funny, interactive, and even let me do the egg toss in the air, which made my night. My date and the whole group loved it, and we were already talking about coming back soon. I would definitely recommend Sakura! I ended up paying $87 for two people, which I thought was a really good price for the experience we had. Overall, we had a great time and made some really fun memories for Homecoming!

greeters were the best! Who else is best: The waiter, the server. Always fabulous!! The food was orgasmic! From the first taste of the pork skewers, the potato salad, the spicy cucumber salad, spicy rice cake, grilled mackerel, gochujang noodles, age mori and the dessert least night was to die for. The best place to eat in Utah. And I eat out 2 to 4 times a week. AGC

    I’d eaten here once and had a fine experience, but last night’s meal blew me away. Our server Dan was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and super passionate about the menu. There was a special chef’s menu, as they recently brought in a new chef, and every single bit of the experience was next level. The flavors in the ceviche were incredible, and the short rib - omg. It was a special for the night, but is being put on their winter menu beginning in December. I order short rib often at different places with mixed results, but this was like nothing I’ve eaten and was the best I’ve ever had by a long shot. This meal was worth every penny.
