Sakura Garden Japanese Steakhouse

Sakura Garden Japanese Steakhouse is located at 120 Hebron Ave, Glastonbury, CT 06033, USA (phone: (860) 430-5600, mobile: +1 860-430-5600). While its physical location is in the United States, this introduction considers its potential appeal to local users in Singapore interested in Japanese cuisine, specifically hibachi and sushi.

Based on online reviews, experiences at Sakura Garden Japanese Steakhouse appear to be varied. One customer reported having a "fun time" with a "spectacular" hibachi experience and a "very good" chef. They found the hibachi food to be great, noting they had filet mignon while their wife enjoyed sushi, and their friends had chicken combos and sushi. However, this reviewer mentioned that the service could have been better, as they had to ask for their drink multiple times, and they were puzzled by the restaurant's choice to play sports on the big screen TVs in a Japanese steakhouse. Despite these minor issues, they indicated they would return.

Conversely, another customer had a significantly less positive experience during a weekday lunch. They ordered sirloin steak hibachi cooked rare but received it medium-well and chewy. They found the fried rice delicious but described the vegetables as mushy, overcooked, and excessively covered in teriyaki sauce. This reviewer also noted that a waitress discouraged their fiance from ordering a bento lunch, suggesting it was a small portion, only for their friends' bento lunches to have at least twice the amount of food as the sushi lunch their fiance ordered (at the same price). Most concerningly, the sushi ordered was described as inedible, sour, and foul-tasting, with a strong taste of chlorinated water, leading to illness afterward.

The environment seems to feature hibachi tables where chefs cook in front of customers, creating a potentially entertaining experience. However, the presence of large screen TVs playing sports might detract from the ambiance for some seeking a more traditional Japanese dining atmosphere. Service quality appears inconsistent, with one reviewer experiencing attentiveness issues while another reported pushy recommendations and potentially misleading information from the waitstaff.

Features include hibachi cooking, a sushi menu, and options like steak, chicken, and bento boxes. However, the quality and value of these offerings seem to be inconsistent based on the reviews. There is no promotional information available in the provided text.

For local users in Singapore considering this restaurant concept, the reviews present a mixed picture. While the hibachi experience can be entertaining and the food enjoyable for some, there are significant concerns raised about food quality (particularly the sushi and vegetables), potential issues with service, and value for money. Without more consistent positive feedback, especially regarding food safety and service, it is difficult to provide a strong recommendation based solely on this information.
