Sakura Chaya Clovis in Clovis

This place has both sit down dining and teppenyaki, obviously the latter having massive demand with waits over an hour long. Even sitting and waiting for a booth was also lengthy as well, around 45 mins when promised 15 mins. Mainly due to clean up or tables being opened, the hostess was vague on that... It all changed once we sat down...I cant stress how well this server was tonight! She was very chatty and also loved and made recommendations! The craziest part was when I was deciding between vanilla or rainbow servant and she brought out both!!We ordered a special bento box filled with tempura and beef and siu mai and potato salad! Basically a sample of the entire menu as a little bento box!!!I ordered a sukiyaki hot plate with beef on it, it had a very tangy mushroom sauce in it topped with sesame seeds and cilantro. Beef tasted very very flat though even with all of that.The roasted salmon and the California rolls were also nothing home to write about and at $14+ they better have meant something and failed... The salad was also questionable too with the sauce choice but the veggies were fresh. At least the miso soup was good!But with the price paid there was a lot of food that we couldnt finish and we didnt mind taking them out! I dont remember ordering having that many boxes in a while! And we were pretty hungry when we came in!I would like to come back here. Maybe one day to try out the teppanyaki, since i here that is the main attraction here! But the server is on the restaurant side is still really really good! Im not sure its the servers in the teppanyaki side is the same...

We absolutely love the fried rice and spicy sauce served here! The service is usually pretty quick and the servers are friendly and helpful, even when they’re super busy. If you’re in the area, make reservations for teppanyaki!Clean establishment and clean restrooms.

Didi was wonderul- shes a 5 star 🌟, I asked about yo mama, and she suggested a different sushi that we might like better based on our query.Food is good a little steep on the pricing. Overall service is 4 the food took a little long to be cooked.Well be back here after checking other Japanese Restaurants in Fresno, CA

The sushi side was okay. The shumai was too soft and watery. Its dipping sauce was very spicy. I think horseradish was in it. The California Sashimi, on the other hand, was very tasty and fresh.The server was rather unenthusiastic and had to verify a few items. The food came out pretty fast. The hibachi side sounded pretty wild. There might have been a party.

Great place for laughs ans entertainment . But sucks if you have a chef thats quiet 🤫.. over all good spot .

Went in for lunch on a weekday. It wasnt too busy. The staff was prompt and wonderful. The food was delicious.

My boyfriend and I always come here before going to the movies. From my boyfriend. he said he didn’t really like the ramen but the taste for me was pleasant. I usually get sushi, but i got the Beef Kushiyaki and it was delicious. I haven’t seen it before and I’m glad i got to taste it. The Orange Blossom Sushi, looks so pretty and I didn’t know it came with an egg yolk. I don’t eat wontons, but they’re decent. The Dragon Roll is full but it tastes spicy and sweet. Our waiter was really kind and wasn’t a problem. The food did take a while to prepare, but i assume it’s because we order sushi and other food. It’s surprising that we get seated by the same area we would eat, but it wasn’t a problem either. Overall, I like coming here and eating their sushi. I haven’t tried the teppanyaki yet so I’ll save it for another day

First time visiting this restaurant. To star with, We arrived at 1:00 PM party of 12 reservation as a guest. The hostess told us we have to wait for the rest of our party, totally understandable but then she said Please contact all your party friends, not in the nicest attitude your cut-out time is until 1:40 pm for everyone to arrived. I told her I am sorry but I am just a guest She insisted for us to contact everyone else in our party. Definitely feels like Debbie Downer welcoming.The waiter was really nice and quick service. We have cupcakes and asked us, if We would like to be store in the fridge while we eat. Which we appreciated it.The chef was not experienced, couple tricks here and there but he did really well, he was funny and his food was delicious and well cook. I told the waiter that we have a birthday in our party and he said I will get you an ice cream my problem was that an hour before the staff sang happy birthday for someone else while our birthday girl just got place a n ice cream in front of her. Nice but kinda sad. My advice is If you are not going to do it for everyone, better not do it at all. I have mix feelings about this place. Overall the place is beautiful, spacious and very clean.$$Long waiting time to be seated.I dont think I want to go back.

Sashimi and tempura were very good. The rice was very hard, as if they are cooking rice for teppan.

Everything was great but the food was not worth the high prices. Sushi has same quality as buffet sushi. They don’t serve teppanyaki food when you dine in but they will give you a menu for it for some reason. Can’t substitute the steamed rice for bacon fried rice. They force you to purchase a $13 plate of bacon fried rice.
