The service was great. The food was hot and delicious. They gave us an extra plate and spoon at our request for my 2 year old grandson.

I love Sakura Express. I went to the Forest City location and it is always good. The staff is always nice and quick with service. I like to eat the Teriyaki Chicken but weirdly without the chicken, thankfully they offer an entree called the vegetable melody and it is absolutely amazing. If you're a vegetable eater than this dish is for you 10/10! I love the zucchini in this too!
