Review
I walked into SAKE Sushi with high hopes, an empty stomach, and just enough self-control to pace myself for about the first 10 minutes. After that, it was game on.
Ambiance:
The restaurant has a modern cozy vibe with a bit of anime flair bold artwork (the striking wall art makes you feel like you’re being watched by a sushi guardian), comfy booths, clean layout, and an open view of the kitchen where you can see the sushi chefs doing their thing. It’s casual but stylish perfect for a laid-back dinner or a casual sushi binge with friends.
Menu Variety:
This place delivers when it comes to options. You’ve got everything from basic rolls (California, Spicy Tuna, Philly) to creative specialty rolls like the Dynamite Roll, Black Dragon Roll, and Dancing Tuna. The all-you-can-eat dinner menu reads like a sushi lover’s fantasy with over 100 items including appetizers, nigiri, sashimi, fried rice, teriyaki, and salads.
The Food:
Now to the important part:
• The rolls:
We tried a ton of them to varying degrees of enjoyment. A ton have crabmeat or the spicy tuna which we quickly tired of. They were generous portions and the sauces were good.
• The nigiri & sashimi:
The Yellowtail was buttery, fresh, and clean no fishy aftertaste. The Red Snapper and Mackerel were outstanding.
• Appetizers:
The takoyaki was interesting. The garlic edamame was addictively seasoned. The ginger was addictive
• Dessert:
A simple scoop of ice cream to close out the carnage classic.
Service:
Friendly and efficient. Plates came out fast, servers checked in frequently without being pushy, and they were happy to give recommendations and bring extra rolls.
Price:
At $35.99 per person for dinner, it’s a fair deal given the quality and variety. Plus, with the 90-minute limit, it encourages just the right amount of indulgence without feeling rushed.
