Debbie Seely: My son brought me here to eat my first bowl of authentic ramen. I have multiple food allergies and was pleasantly surprised that the owners had a list of dishes that were safe for me to eat. I had edamame as an appetizer and pork broth with pork belly, and rice on the side in place of the noodles. Had I chosen to not eat the rice it would have been low carb as well. But the rice was just so perfectly sticky that I couldn't resist. The best part is that it was not that expensive!Dietary restrictions: I asked the waitress if any of the noodles were gluten free and she got a list of foods that were safe. There were several lists, and I am assuming they were for other allergies.

laurneà Jarman: Food is great! But, I feel like service has been slacking. Lately my to-go orders have not been your best work.

Ashlyn N: one of the best sushi restaurants i’ve had in a while, comes out fresh and fast

Maria Skotos: I had heard nothing but awesome things but the service was super slow. I asked for no fish eggs but they forgot. By the time I got my food, it was time for me to drive back to Joplin. I had to throw it away by the time I got home. (No ac + raw fish + summer time = food poison)(It was not rush hour, it was around 2pm.)

Kelsey Miller: Absolutely my favorite place to eat. The service is always kind and timely. The food is always delicious. I'm never disappointed.

Arantxa Perez-Pria (Breezieblock): The staff was super nice and attentive and the atmosphere was cute but honestly not my cup of tea for food quality. I had high hopes from the reviews but takoyaki was super mushy and smothered in sauce that just tastes like plain ketchup. Also, the sushi was pretty disappointing not much flavor at all. :( Wish I could say something good about the food.

jerold bordere: This restaurant captures the essence of Japanese culinary traditions flawlessly.

Stefan Carino: This restaurant exceeded all my expectations.

Louis Devito: I like it.!!

Colby Wiskur: Chicken wasn’t cooked long enough and the waiter had to many tables to properly serve the table

Jennifer Hewitt: With the long lines of parties waiting to eat, I was hoping it would be amazing. The atmosphere is a little dated and simple. The sushi bar has a cool feature of the sushi boats floating in a moat around the chefs.Our chef at the hibachi table was great. Friendly and great cook. I just was a little underwhelmed with the quality of food. The service was great, and the food was okay.

Rosa Auterson: Food was excellent and Tim our chef was hilarious 😂. We will recommend to all our friends.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Jonathan Russom: Awesome experience!!

Aloha L. PostToastie: The chef was an amazing cook, but his humor was off-color while a young child was present. He took too many liberties with crude humor and cursing. It made the whole table uneasy... nervous laughter. Several subtle hints were offered to refrain from it, but he didn't pick up on them. But honestly, the food was delicious! Next time, I'll be gently vocal to tone it down if it starts in that direction. Hopefully, it won't. Still, I will return, for sure!

Karmen Nigh: Food is fantastic and the staff always friendly! Whether you sit at the hibachi tables or the sushi bar service is wonderful!

Brook Watkins: It was our first time here and I really don't think we will be back. There was nothing fast about this dine in to be honest. The lady at the front asked us how many and we said we had a party of 2 but we were not asked if we wanted to sit at the sushi bar or at one of their group tables. Unfortunately for us we were 20min into our 45min estimated wait time before I overheard another couple mention they wanted to be seated at the sushi bar. I requested we be seated there as that's all we wanted in the first place and didn't understand there were TWO waiting lists and the sushi bar was a shorter wait.I got us moved to the other list but this also moved us back in line a bit because people who got there after us were eating before we ever saw our food.We were seated finally and the girl was really nice and personally came to get us for our spot. But we waited another 40min for food because it seemed there was a staffing issue at the sushi bar itself. The 3 men were working so hard and fast and they were visibly frustrated because plates were being sent back. The menu states sushi bar gets priority but maybe it changed, I'm not sure. The staff was very apologetic and the sushi chefs kept getting us updates on our food and said its coming soon. The food was good and the chefs are so talented it could have been amazing had they had the time to make the food quickly and decorate it because it's clear they are skilled. The kitchen needed at least 2 more sushi chefs.There was no drink menu so we endured this sober.Needless to say, I don't recommend showing up unless you have a reservation and the hours listed show open at 4 but I wonder if that means the actual tables and not the sushi bar because we would have arrived before 4 had we known this was the case. Probably won't be back. Atmosphere was just so chaotic and left feeling so overwhelmed. It's also a ice box in there. Bring a sweater if you are not sitting at a table becaaue the AC is on max to ensure it stays cool for the guests who are sitting next to the grills.

Catherine Killingsworth: Always great. Our waitress and chef was fun and efficient...purrfect

rakshya lamichhane: Really enjoyed the whole shenanigans. All the sides were really good. We enjoyed soup, salad, fried rice and noodles. We ordered traditional entree, chicken and salmon. I am giving 3 star because both chicken and salmon were very bland. We threw away more than half of it.Edit: changing from 3 star to 1. Wish we could give 0. Me and my husband both have food poisoning. Their food made us really sick. Never going back.

Johney Walker: Our "cook" / Chef, according to Tim cooks, works at Mc Donalds, Chef's work at Nakatos. Tim has prepared our feast on three separate occasions. Not only is he a wonderful Chef ,but he also keeps everyone interacting with him as well as one another.

Brooke Noelle: The red headed at the host stand who I am is assuming is the manager was rude to us the entire time we where there. We waiting over 40 minutes after our scheduled reservation time and when we asked her about our table she was nothing but rude to us and said you’ll get seated whenever I can while proceeding to make us wait another 20 minutes. Don’t even bother coming to this place management obviously isn’t doing their job right.

Debbie Welter: We had a confirmed email reservation but they didn't have it in their computer. We only had to wait 10 minutes to get seated. Emily was our server and she was very friendly and helpful. Ramon was our chef & he was great! We had 3 birthdays in our group of 7 & he made sure to acknowledge them. The food was outstanding and we took plenty home. After reading some of the negative reviews, I am happy to say our experience at Hinode was one where we'll definitely return next time we're in town.

Mikal: John was great! He was very patient with our kiddos and kept things enjoyable for everyone! The food was great!

Jared Taylor: This place has ripped us off for the last time. We used to come to this restaurant because we found it to be a much better experience in price, flavor and service than nakato or any other hibachi style grill. They have since raised their prices, lost the good cooks and make no apologies or anything when they over charge your card. Just last night I ordered take-out. They tried to give me ice cold soup, they left out sauce that I paid for and even though I ordered extra noodles they left out my vegetables. Then they charge me for a $23 dollar tip. Which I did not authorize. Watch this place very carefully.

Sara Benson: My co-workers and I had to go sushi and sides for lunch, and were disappointed to learn that we also had to pay $1.00 for a 2 oz. side of seafood sauce... and then to top it off, I didn't even get the dang sauce in my to go bag! I get that prices are rising for everyone, but there are plenty of other sushi places in town that usually give you at least one free sauce with an order!

Abbie: My Ichiban Chicken was chewy and hard. Not fresh. The service was bad. The waitress asked if we wanted wasabi & sauce and then instead of getting it she organized all her receipts.

Kent McCune: I've been dining at Sakura for over ten years now and it's my favorite restaurant of any type in town. Always clean and comfortable atmosphere and the servers are polite and friendly. Great food and reasonable prices for the current price of dining out everywhere. I have always loved Sakura and I still do! I love that the entire staff have always greeted each and every guest with a Japanese "hello" when they enter the restaurant! I couldn't imagine giving them less than 5 stars! I had to chuckle when I was dining here today and listening to a Olivia Rodriguez song 😊 What a wonderful and amazing world we live in!
