Monday at 5pm.
Immediately greeted by the friendly staff who quickly sat us (party of 6) and served drinks.
We primarily ordered a combination of raw and baked sushi/rolls all of which were very good and fresh. There was nothing that disappointed about the food and flavor.
As mentioned, the staff was great from the beginning and very attentive to our needs.
The atmosphere was a friendly welcoming environment with background music. Very spacious but do take caution on the way to the lower dining room.
Please note this is only my second sushi experience on Oahu and my review is subject to change as I continue to explore. I will say it's reasonably priced and appreciated that.
We just had the most awesome dinner with chef Will! We're in from North Carolina and first time visitors to Hawaii and Will not only cooked yummy food, but entertained us with Elvis music, fire and singing!
Thank you so much for such a memorable experience!
Came in on a Wednesday night, so it wasn't busy. We ordered 2 orders of fried oysters and the Hawaii boat. The oysters came out fresh and hot and delish. The boat was a great choice for us since it came with an assortment of sashimi, tempura, katsu, teriyaki... enough food to feed a party of 4. Everything was delicious! We were stuffed and satisfied! Service was also great!
All the rolls were delicious. Came in on a Sat night so it was fairly busy yet the food came out incredibly fast. Particularly loved the Amazing Yellowtail roll and washed it down with hot sake. The service was top notch and very friendly. Great place.

A group of 7 of us came here for dinner after a meeting in Mililani. We were seated quickly after everyone in the party arrived, then our drink orders were taken. I had a water and Sprite, which was delicious with free refills. Once our party had a chance to decide, a server took our orders along with a few dietary restrictions (seafood allergy, nut allergy). I ordered the Meat Lovers Hibachi Combo which comes with Steak, Chicken, and Filet Mignon as the main proteins.
When the chef came around to our table he was polite and casual as he went over everyone's orders and confirmed the allergies with their respective persons. The flair that is typical of the teppanyaki experience was a bit toned down for our group this evening, but everything was still entertaining.
First came the miso soup and salad, both good but nothing special, then the sides and meats. Everything cooked on the flat top was generously seasoned needing no additional sauces. To my surprise the fried rice was actually perfectly cooked how I like it with areas of rice being koge (crispy burnt perfection). The yakisoba too was great and had a nice texture and flavor experience. The mixed vegetables were a bit of q let down texture wise as I prefer mine a bit on the firmer side, and the flavor was great and consistent with the rest of the meal so far, but for me the subtle taste of the actual vegetables were drowned out where I could only taste the sauce and seasonings. Next time I'd request light on the sauce.
My biggest regret of the evening is not taking a picture of the meats as only the sides had been prepared up until the point where my plate picture was taken. Although the meats were as typical a presentation as you'd expect from a teppanyaki experience, mass prepared and then portioned out to whoever is supposed to have that particular meat type at their requests doneness level, they still looked amazing coming off the flat top and being served from the chefs spatula.
For others wondering about the allergy situation, due to the seafood allergy in our group the meats were cooked first then the seafood so as to minimize the risk of contamination. Then, because of the nut allergy in our group we were informed that there should be no risk with our teppanyaki orders because vegetable oil is used instead of sesame oil, and nothing else ordered contains nuts.
Overall, I would come back here again with friends or to celebrate an occasion. The experience is all together one of generally casual dining, but paired with an entertaining show, and exceptional attention by the waitstaff. Not once did my glasses sit empty where I was wondering if I could have a refill.
Quality of sushi toppings was premium. The only downside was either the rice wasn't pressed together good or wasn't sticky enough. When i picked up a some of the nigiri it started to fall apart. Excellent service!
Love this place!!! Fabulous food and service! It's great that you can choose to either sit in the booth and have hibachi, or watch the show. Food and sushi are both are always made meticulously and deliciously. β£οΈ πͺ·π£π₯π΅ππ¦π‘π

I have been to this place twice before, but this time was by far the best. The guy making our food was a true showman and really engaged not only the adults, but the children as well. The entire experience was great because of his showmanship and his willingness to put on a show for us.
We love it here, the manager knows us so well that when we get seated she automatically brings sesame seeds for my husband and daughter lol since she knows he loves them all over his food!! The staff is always on point!!! Itβs a great time!!
Iβve always looked forward to coming to Sakura Mililani.
Great food, friendly staff, excellent service, helpful with information about the many different sushi, sushi rollsβ¦Did I mention they have great food!
Their Master Chefs are very entertaining. A couple of them play music while their quick hands slices
through the air⦠such a wonderful experience.
Lin remembered my name the second I came. She made me feel like a VIP!
I give it ππππππππππ
Doing the lunch hibachi was a fun experience. The chef was very entertaining with his jokes and his skills on the grill. I went with the steak and shrimp combo and wasn't let down. The steak is so tender, your mind will probably be blown. I upgraded to the fried rice and didn't regret it. I'm not the biggest vegetable fan, but the veggies that come with it are flavored perfectly and really compliment the meal.
Service is excellent, but I will elaborate more on that later. Food menu is pretty extensive. We got oysters, a Sakura boat, two of the carpaccios, soft shell crab. The oysters were ok, but I'd probably skip them next time. The carpaccios were soooo yummy and the highlight of the dinner. They are pretty spicy and that's a lot coming from me who eats everything spicy. The Sakura boat was meh... it came with a sashimi variety, a nigiri variety and a Sakura roll (10pc). The nigiri and sashimi was good, but the Sakura roll was so bland and boring. Service was excellent but the the server kind of lingered next our table the entire meal which was kind of weird. Place was empty aside from us so I get why but it kind of took any privacy away from our dinner. But it wasn't a huge deal. He was attentive and everything came super fast. The cocktail was super STIFF and I also loved that. Will definitely go back soon.
Our family enjoys dining here!The food is so delicious,the prices are affordable & more so the owners & staffs hospitality is beautiful!

I have been to Sakura's 3 times. All three times that I've went, I absolutely enjoyed the food and the cooks. I have always did the Hibachi dinner for lunch.
The prices are unbelievable inexpensive and the cooks give you a lot. Plus, it's really entertaining.
The only reason I gave Sakura's 4 stars is because the last time I went with my best friend's, we had a female host that sat us at the hibachi table and she was not friendly at all. This was on Saturday, Oct 23, 2021 for lunch. Everyone else was really nice and we enjoyed ourselves. You have to stay consistent to be 5 stars with all employees and staff.
I have tried the steak, shrimp, scallops, lobster, noodles, fried rice, salad, vegetables, and miso soup. All delicious! Do not skip out on the fried rice, your have to try it. Combination plates is a must. Also, if you go during lunch and don't want to sit at the hibachi table, you won't be able to get the lunch hibachi. That's what they told us so we opt to sit at the hibachi table again.
Enjoy with friends or family. My family took me for my birthday and we had a blast. Out Hibachi cook, was awesome... 5 stars to him though! He played the birthday songs and sang. He was awesome. In fact, all the staff except the last girl that sat us at the table deserve 5 stars.
Try it out and enjoy. Food delicious! Servers and cooks are great!
Iβve always loved the sushi here at the mililani Sakura. All of their waiters are so kind and polite, the sushi rolls, specialty rolls, apps, and all of their food is honestly amazing. It compares to other fine dining restaurants in town for a fraction of the cost. The rolls are generously sized & the creative flavor pallet satisfies even the pickiest eater. Iβve brought multiple friends and family members here.
Love going here, went for hibachi my last two birthdays. The last time my hibachi chef was such a blast, sang me happy birthday and the server even brought me an ice cream. Their grilled calamari is one of my favorite things to order when I'm here.
