In Short
Located in a sprawling shopping center, the restaurant draws folks working and living in the area. The interior uses neutral colors and textures to its advantage, with flax curtains, paper lamps and multitoned wood creating a natural ambience. A well-stocked liquor bar, sushi bar and two dining areas offer several choices. All the usual sushi offerings are here, plus some creative choices like the tiger-eye roll--smoked salmon, cream cheese and rice punctuated by jalapeno.

Not on the meenu: Spicy Carlos is to die for! Susan is a close second. Yaki Maki takes at least 20 minutes but it is wonderful: California roll topped with crab and scallop and a cheese topping then broiled until warm. Awesome! Bentos for lunch are really good. I recommend the beef. Miso is good. Edamame is good. Rice is sticky with a hint of vinegar. Perfect sushi spot. My family an I really enjoy it time and time again. Friendly wait staff.

I love love love Sushi Sake. I am very excited that they opened another restaraunt downtown called Yu sushi. My favorite thing to order is their Spicy Carlos Roll, it is the best sushi roll that I have ever had. It has a combination of different flavors that make it very unique. It is not on the menu, you have to special order it. I go eat there all the time lunch & dinner, and If I had to choose over any other sushi restaraunt, I would choose Sushi-Sake

I had high expectations after reading the reviews on this site, but I must say I was sorely disappointed. I arrived prior to the other person in my party and was told that I could not be seated until he arrived. I understand this policy...when a restaurant is busy. However, over half the tables in the restaurant were empty. The host was quite rude about it too. Once I was sat, I noticed that the table was dirty and I had to use my napkin to clean off soy sauce and rice from a previous customer. When my server approached the table he seemed hurried and annoyed. I ordered a spider hand roll and waited about ten minutes to get it. Once it arrived it tasted very strange. It had a grainy texture and was not good. I asked the server if I had gotten the correct roll and he proceeded to tell me that he thought I had, but he needed to "inspect it" closer up. He took the roll from the table then returned with the same roll about a minute later. The server told me that he smelled it and it smelled like crab. Hmm, the roll was even less appetizing now. My server SMELLED my food, to determine that I had been served the correct item. I told him it did not taste right and he shrugged his shoulders. He did not offer to correct it or bring me something else. BAD customer service. We then proceeded to order three more rolls. The tempura shrimps was ok, but our other rolls were sub par. Small and tasteless. I was very disappointed in the food and the service at Sushi Sake. I will definitely not be returning. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the interior was nicely decorated.
