“ Was doing a first ever drive up from Houston, Texas to Arlington, Virginia. This is the spot for any of my road trip folk. It’s in a strip mall which for me is a green flag! The service was top notch and the food was just as amazing. I didn’t catch the owner or chefs name but they both provided great service and cuisine on an early dinner Saturday evening. Since we had order before the rush the food came out right in time. Less than a 30mins wait for our entrees and 5-10mins for the appetizer. I never felt forgotten even though she was the only but lovely host/server/busser with about 2 tables of four guests 2 tables of 2 guest and 2 to-go orders all done in no less then 5-10mins apart from each other. I applaud their hard work and hope when you visit you appreciate this as well. I will remember this meal for a lifetime. Thank you! ”
“ For the second year in a row, during our stay on Dauphin Island, we chose to dine at Thai Chinese Sakura Cafe, and once again, it was a wonderful experience! The food is absolutely delicious, prepared with great care and authentic flavors. Additionally, the person who served us was incredibly friendly, making our visit even more special. We wish the restaurant much success, and we’ll definitely be back on our next trip. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality food and a warm atmosphere! ”
“ I stopped by after a long road trip! Our waitress was very accommodating and attentive! Our food was hot and delicious! The prices were very reasonable! 5/5! Will definitely be visiting on our next trip! ”
“ The food was fantastic! The chicken katsu was amazing, my first time having it and I was very impressed. I Also had their hot and sour soup and it’s one of the best that I’ve had. My daughter had the Philadelphia role. It was her first time having sushi with raw fish in it and she ate it all and loved it. My son got his usual of sweet-and-sour chicken and was very happy. My wife had to do some changes to her sushi order and they accommodated her with no problems. All the sushi was excellent. We were just passing through this area and glad that we gave this a try. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the food was fresh and fantastic. ”
“ For real the best Japanese food I’ve had in a long time. The salad, the soup, and the super crunchy roll were amazing! The service was also stellar:) highly highly recommend ”
“ This is a cute restaraunt. Been here three times now. The lady who serves us is extremely kind. I had the Chicken Katsu Lunch and I loved the portion and presentation of it. You get a good amount of food and I think it was around 15-16 I can't remember. They are a little slow to get food out (about 30 minutes or so) but it seems like it's only a couple running it so it's understandable. It hasn't been busy any time we've been there, I hope they get good business. The only complaint I have is the TV they have playing cake wars in the back is loud. Would definitely recommend ”
“ Just got home with my Rainbow roll, Roll Tide roll, egg rolls, and clear soup. Everything is delicious and the owners are the nicest people. I'll definitely be going back often. ”
“ I love this place. No way to beat the quality of food at these prices. Hostess is very friendly and her accent is charming. Not the greatest ambiance, but more than made up for by the great food and service. ”
