Sakura Ichiban Japanese Thai

I went to this restaurant on a Saturday night at 5:45 and it was completely empty. The decor was nice. The meat was overcooked and the rice lacked flavor. They do not offer mixed drinks and have limited options for wine and beer. The waitstaff was friendly, but there was a language barrier. The servers were very kind. The prices were reasonable, but the food could be improved with a better chef.

The server was patient, kind, and professional. Three generations of diners had nothing but praise: the soup and vegetable fried dumplings were excellent, the Thai Red Curry with tofu was deliciously spicy, the Thai Basil with tofu was exceptional, the Hibachi shrimp was thoroughly enjoyed, and the Pad RahdNar with chicken was very, very good.

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. The food lacks any flavor. The rice is hard and dry, the shrimp is overcooked, and the steak tastes like it was cooked days ago and reheated. This is the worst shrimp and steak hibachi I have ever had.

We had lunch here on a Sunday, it wasn't busy, the guy at the counter was really nice, we ordered sushi (California roll and eel roll) both delicious. Also ordered steak and chicken lunch meal, it came with rice and a side salad, delicious and filling, itfed 3 people. Took about 20 minutes to come out.

Nice quiet place to have a meal. Dine in for lunch, prices were very reasonable, service was fast and friendly. The ambience was quiet and peaceful. Would visit again.Food: 3/5
