We had a blast last night at Sakura Hibachi & Sushi in the Jennersville shopping center. I was surprised to find that the restaurant is much bigger than it looks from the outside. You get your choice of where to sit: at a regular table or around a hibachi grill. We picked the latter, and after we ordered, the hibachi chef, Stanley, wheeled out a cart with chicken, shrimp, salmon, rice, vegetables and other the ingredients for our dinner and cooked them on the spot, doing all kinds of entertaining antics in the process. He juggled and clanged his utensils, balanced an egg on his spatula and then flipped it up into his chef's hat, stacked onion slices and lit them on fire, and tossed squares of squash toward diners' mouths. (We did not catch any, but the couple next to us did, hugely impressing their three children.)
It was quite a show to behold, and I think the two of us had as much fun as any of the kids. And after all the showmanship, the food was very good. The place is a BYOB, and I saw several diners bringing in beer and wine. This might be a place to consider visiting if you have out-of-town guests over the holiday, or if the kids are bored during winter break.
