Sushi Sake

08/20/2008 Posted by Leelee84

The sushi is pretty good! I've only been at lunch time (lunchtime specials). The prices are somewhat high, even at lunch time...but I know the dinner prices are much higher!

Pros: Good Sushi!

Cons: Pricey!

I LOVE sushi. But good sushi has 'ruined' me, in the sense that if I am in the mood for sushi, I can't just eat cheap sushi and be satisfied. The rice has to be just right, the fish fresh, the seaweed fresh. I have been just about everywhere in town, and Sushi Sake has been consistently excellent. They have never let me down in their quality. I'd recommend Sushi Sake hands down to anyone who loves sushi as much as I do, and to those who want to try it for the first time, alike. Oh-- and the Spicy Carlos, and Spicy Susan rolls are not to be missed (they're also not on the menu)-- they are excellent for those who are new to the sushi experience.

Pros: easy parking, excellent sushi, booths, ambiance, good service

Cons: none

The fish is the freshest and the rolls are so creative! We had the spicy Carlos Roll- Excellent! The Escolar and Salmon were mouth watering good. I cannot recommend Sushi Sake enough. Even the service was great. We never wanted for anything and were able to take our time and enjoy the entire experience. It may not be for people who go for the California rolls, but if you like real sushi- Sushi Sake is the place to be!

Pros: The salmon is the best in town!

Cons: There are some things that are not on the menu that are to die for like the Spicy Carlos Roll. Ask your server about what they recommend!

The sushi is not that great in Sushi Sake. We had the California roll and Spider roll there. The sushi rice is great, moist with fine texture. However, the overall taste just wasn’t good. The Spider rolls taste… very fishy. After I had a bite of it, I felt like I needed to drink a lot of tea to cover up the bad taste. I won’t recommend this place to anyone. Pricey for that quality of food.

I really like to sit up at the Sushi bar and chat with this one particular Sushi chef - Agila (sp?). It's not on the menu, but Agila will make us this "Spicy Susan Roll" which is just incredible. It's a regular spicy tuna roll with salmon on top and then this Agila's special spicy sauce. We then order a wide variety of both sushi and sushi rolls - some of my favorites are the spicy tuna and the unagi (crispy eel in this delicious sauce). I always get their hot green tea which definitely is hot. I have to pick up my cup using a napkin. Then I top it all off with some of their green tea ice cream! That's what I'm talking about.

Pros: Spicy Susan Roll, very good cuts of sushi and excellent service.

Cons: A bit pricy for what you get and they need different tea cups which you can pick up with out burning off your hand.

Having moved here from San Francisco we were spoiled with delicious Asian cuisine. This place is the closest so far to what we had in California. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Ambiance was very nice and the staff was friendly. So far my favorite sushi in Austin.

Pros: Very tasty

Cons: None

Excellent...good ambiance but a little tired in decor. Bathrooms very nice and clean....does not smell fishy and super fresh . The sake is very reasonable. excellent service casual to business dress. Escolar is very good and salmon very fresh those are my favorite. You can t go wrong w/ the spicy susan. Miso soup my husband loves...

Pros: More reasonable than most sush and taste is the same. I wont eat any where else.

Cons: Main room could stand a revision on decor but its not bad...its not a dressy place but not too casual. Good date place

It was a good sushi restaurant.until recently when we had the worst service we've ever seen. The waitress was rude and impolite even though we ordered a good amount of food. We haven't finished eating yet, but the waitress already took the plates from the table. The food was so-so.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Service

Let me start out with a little background. I'm a sushi nut. I like it all cooked, raw, traditional and unusual. I am on a first name basis with my sushi chef in what every town I live in. So I know my sushi. The atmosphere is nice and the severs are courteous, but what makes this place a standout is Angel. Make sure you pull up to the sushi bar and have Angel make you some of his special sushi rolls. He is a creative genius and all around delight to eat with. The fish is fresh and delicious. Tell him what kind of fish you like (when it's not really busy) and he can come up with something to knock your socks off every time. He also does great traditional style sushi as well as spicy concoctions that infuse the Latin and Japanese flavors beautifully. There is always something new to try. I can not comment on anything other than sushi on the menu, because sushi is all I ever eat. If Angel is not available Sean is also fantastic too.

Pros: great staff, fresh food, service, good sake selection, apricot mango tini's

Cons: sometimes there is a wait

BEST SUSHI PLACE IN TOWN(ON THIS PLANET) --My wife & I are new in town! We happened to be in the shopping center during the holiday one night doing some shopping. We were checking out all the outlets and ran into Sushi Sake. Guess what, we went in and hoping that the restaurant will be impressive because we usually dine at standing restaurant only!To our surprise, this restaurant overwhelming exceeded our expectations. The decors & ambience were very nice. While we were waiting for a table at the drinking bar , the friendly staffs were very courteous & helpful by asking us if we needed a cocktail or drinks. Since we said no and there were nothing in front of us, other staff members & manager also tried to offer us something. We could not believed that the staffs really went out of their way to take care of thier customers!!! Anyway the food & services were impeccable(spicy Susan roll the waitress suggested) and the price was worthed it. We definately will be back again. CHEERS!

Pros: food ,service & courteous staffs

Cons: Parking spaces
