Sakura Japanese Steakhouse - Batesville, Arkansas

I’ve been here twice now with in the last 7 months, the food I’ve had has always tasted great, along with the great service from the staff I’d say it’s a great place to eat.

The only problem I’ve had is after I’ve gotten done eating about a hour afterwards I’m going to be having to run to the bathroom, I’ve always been at the restaurant with family and friends and I’m the only one that has to have the bathroom nearby hour after eating here so I’m thinking it’s just my body and not the food

My first time at Sakura and my wife and I enjoyed the food and excellent service very much. It was a real treat! I especially liked the tempura - the shrimp and vegetables were prepared perfectly. Also had a lunch box meal that included beef teriyaki and delicious California roll sushi. Recommended!

Their salad is my favorite! Their sushi doesn't seem as good as it used to be; Doras has them beat there. Rice and veggies were good. Steak and shrimp ok. Waiter was good.

First time ever at a Hibachi grill. The cooking display was a great first-time experience, and the food itself was great. We even got lucky and were seated with a very lovely couple that made the experience even better. This was also the first time I had Saki, and I must say, hot wine is not something I expected.

Overall, this was a great place. Awesome for something new, a bit of a change of pace. Highly recommend at least giving it a go.

Typical Japanese Hibachi restaurant.

TL:DR
If you've been to any similar restaurant, you know what this will taste like. Solid options with consistent taste, but nothing special or standout about it.

Detail:
Headed here because it was near our hotel, and we were seated immediately - it was not busy at all, just a few other people on a Monday night.

The menu is the typical, rice and noodles dishes, various combinations of meats from the grill, and the regular salad and soup.

I had the Teriyaki chicken, fried rice, salad, and soup. All were good, and the Teriyaki flavor was heavy, they didn't hold out on that.

The only downside was that nothing really stood out about any of it. If I pay $20 bucks for a meal, I usually expect it to be an outstanding one, and this was just typical.

No reason not to go here, but no reason to rush out and fight for a table either.

This hibachi is not close to the best I’ve ever had, but being in Batesville makes for very few choices. This place is actually good and it would hold up well in medium sized cities as well. You won’t be disappointed, but you probably won’t say it’s the best you’ve ever had.

Everything was excellent. As can be expected 20 min wait on a Saturday. I swear every table had a birthday, but glad they did because it reminded me to have them celebrate my sons, too. Hibachi is the way to go for a little entertainment with your meal.

Used to be really good but on my last visit the cook seemed like he was in a hurry the rice was a Lil crunchy because it wasn't cooked long enough and no one offered to refill our drinks until after we were finished eating
