What to Expect at Sakura in St. George

Sakura Japanese Steakhouse is St. George's hibachi-and-sushi restaurant, just north of St. George Boulevard on 1100 East. The restaurant describes itself as "Southern Utah's finest Japanese cuisine," and the room is split the way most Japanese steakhouses are: teppanyaki (hibachi) tables where a chef cooks steak, chicken, shrimp and vegetables on the flat-top grill in front of the group, a sushi bar where rolls and nigiri are made in view of the counter, and regular tables for anyone who just wants dinner without the show. The menu also includes Thai dishes alongside the Japanese ones.

The hibachi tables are the reason most people come. They seat parties together around one grill, so a family of four will usually share a table with another party, and the chef's routine (the onion volcano, the flipped shrimp tail, the egg trick) is the same one you may have seen at hibachi restaurants elsewhere. It suits birthdays, kids and groups that want entertainment with dinner. The sushi side is quieter and faster, and it is the better choice for a weekday lunch.

Does Sakura in St. George take reservations?

Yes. Sakura Japanese Steakhouse takes reservations by phone at (435) 275-2888 during business hours, and a reservation is the only reliable way to get a hibachi table on a Friday or Saturday night. Walk-ins are seated as tables open, which on weekend evenings can mean a wait of more than an hour.

Keep the split schedule in mind. On weekdays the restaurant closes between lunch and dinner, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., and on Saturday it does not open until 1 p.m. Sunday is dinner only, from 4:30 p.m. A reservation for a large hibachi party should be made several days ahead for a weekend.
