On our roadtrip we stopped randomly here. And the steak and shrimp hibachi grill was surprisingly good! The white rice even came hibachi'd with some soy sauce and maybe even meat juices from cooking my beef and shrimp. The lady behind the counter was nice and smiled when we walked in but admittedly on the phone she didn't sound enthused to be answering it. But I would definitely come back here if we were in the area again.

First time visiting Sakura. This establishment had both Japanese & Chinese options. I went with the steak Habachi, served with zucchini & onions & rice (minus cooked carrots). The steak was flavorful and not chewy or stringy as you might find at strip mall restaurants. This restaurant is located near The Dollar Tree & Thomasville Wal-Mart. I visited around 2:30pm for lunch, so the place was empty. Staff friendly and attentive but didn't converse much. I will absolutely try this location again. Just a little more pricey than the average Chinese restaurant. My order cost 12.50 with a beverage. Establishment is clean (even the Men's bathroom) & spacious.

The restaurant is always super clean inside and the employees are always pleasant. Here are a few tips for ordering hibachi: let them know if you don't want black pepper on your steak and how you'd like it done, otherwise it can be a little done and peppery BUT the pieces are cubed thick and plump and not cheap thin strips like you find at some Chinese buffet hibachi lines. The rice also has a lot of black pepper to season. I do not personally like black pepper so this is truly my only complaint. The food is always cooked fresh on the spot, ready in about 10 minutes or less. I've never had any trouble with my orders or eating in. Dining in is served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils but no complaints at least it's clean and sanitary. Highly recommended.

Today was my first time eating at the Sakura in Thomasville I eat at the one in Randleman quite often and love so thought why not give it a try. I have to say was pleasantly surprised at how clean and easy on the ways the inside was I was very impressed. I enjoyed the shrimp tempura roll and a house salad which I had to share with my husband it's big . The roll was brought out quickly and was perfect. I'll definitely recommend and come back to this Sakura location ! Worth a try
