Sakura Steak House

I have gotten food here more times than I can count & never had a problem until today. Got 3 orders of gyoza (almost $20), did a quick peek in the box before I left & everything looked fine so I went home which is about 30 mins away. Started to eat as soon as I got home & the first bite tasted like MOLD, it's a pretty unmistakable taste. Picked up another dumpling and saw this. Obviously not going to eat the rest of them so my partner called the store to let them know about this, and was told that this isn't possible that they are always made fresh. I'm not saying I don't believe them, but this is definitely mold? He said if we "didn't like them" we could bring them back to the store & they would make more (not that I really want more after a mouthful of this) but he explained that I just got home from work & we live 30 mins away, is there any way that they could take down our name and come back tomorrow, something, anything? Because it's only $20 so I'm not trying to drive an hour round trip plus gas money for this, but also it's $20 - times are hard for everyone and every penny counts. But apparently the owner wasn't at the store and the only option is to bring it back to have it remade. My bad I guess for not inspecting each and every individual dumpling (most of them look okay, but I don't want to risk food poisoning to find out). So here's my first official google review so maybe someone could learn from my experience & go over every gyoza before they get home

The food is great but the women that works the register is RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL every time we go in there. Definitely will be our last time visiting.

Consistency is the word that comes to mind here... Don't think I've ever been disappointed with Sakura. Decent food, decent prices, always a solid go-to

Not great quality/taste in food and the hibachi cook was really nice but didn't really do any of the fun hibachi tricks.

It's sakura. It's always been good. Been going there for just over 5 years and never gotten a wrong order
