My relatives like to take us to Sakura Chaya when we come for our visits. On a Saturday night, the place was very busy with people lined up in the bar. The wait staff was efficient, attentive and friendly. We did not wait long for water and the drink order. All the food looked and tasted good. I had the... More

We've been here numerous times before but never bother to review but this time around, I have to. First of all, the host was nice enough to move us to a table at our preferred location. Our server, Jocelyn was friendly that she even made our teenager smile. If you have a teenager, you should know what i'm talking about.... More

You cannot go wrong here. The food has great taste, mixed flavors, and the best fillet mignon on the teppan yaki. Drinks are very good here. If you are alone, you will still feel like you aree in a party at the big table. Go. Have fun. Get stuffed with quality.

My favorite part about dinner at Sakura Chaya was the bacon fried rice. I liked having the bacon so much that I did not mind that the chef sprinkled too much pepper on the fried rice. The teppan yaki performance was entertaining and it was the first time I had seen an onion set on fire. I ordered the tempura... More

We had reservations so were sat fairly quickly. Enjoyed the entertainment of watching the food being prepared and the antics of our cook. Our cook must have been fairly new as during the tossing of things he missed his hat bowl with the pepper shaker and an egg (splat!!!), and dropped the utinsels on the heated surface when flipping them....

We had reservations for 7 people at 6:30 PM on a Friday evening. We waited for 25 minutes for a table for Teppan Yaki. The fried rice was excellent! The vegetables and sprouts were quite good. The steak and shrimp were ordinary. The "show" was festive, with moderately skilled chef. This is probably the best place in Fresno for Teppan... More

You don't have to make a reservation but we did and got right in. Food is priced great compared to what I am used to paying. The sushi is the best I have had yet and I have eaten at a lot of sushi restaurants. The hibachi chicken is sooo good. Great service too. I was very impressed. I live... More

Have been there twice now and the sushi is very fresh, expertly prepared and there are fair number interesting creations on the menu that I haven't seen at other restaurants. I haven't tried the Teppan or anything off of the regular menu so I can't speak for anything but the sushi.
