Swanky Japanese restaurant/sushi bar on Mag st. I wanted some good sushi and they didn’t disappoint. This place is large, two stories so they can accommodate big parties. The interior wasn’t just normal sushi bar aesthetic and stood out in a mostly good way. The cooler case full of dragon blade knives and kunai was an interesting accent point though. I specifically came for mackerel. It happened to be HH, which I appreciated them having saba on special. Ordered a special roll as well, and while it was good, it was all about the mackerel. My only complaint was the service was kind of slow, given how empty it was at the time. I’d come back for more Mackerel and to try some of their other options.

We were sat at 6PM, and the host informed us that our server would be with us momentarily; it took ten minutes for our server to make contact. She briefly took our order (without giving her name) and then left for ten minutes only to return with no water nor ordered drinks. She said that they were out of one of the requested drinks, which fine, perfectly acceptable. It took another ten minutes to receive the water and the replacement drinks. The food order was then taken; at this time, the restaurant was still fairly empty. Twenty minutes later, no food had been delivered, and our waitress did not come to our table again. So, nearly an hour later with only two drinks and no food, we ending leaving and got a flaccid “apology” that they received a rush. The cherry of this abhorrent sundae was that a table was sat after us and received food before us, same with the large party that was sat at the bar area. All in all, a disappointment.

Wonderful place. Friendly, helpful staff provided the perfect amount of attention. Food was delicious – especially the Pineapple Fried Rice and Salmon Naruto.

This is my 3rd and final time at sake cafe. My first time was horrible date but great experience as far as the food and service went. The second time I went I had horrible service, the waitress was racist and only catered to her white customers while I say and waited and waited for even a refill. The third time went pretty much the same as my second. He looked at my empty cup numerous times and not once tried to refill my drink and when I asked for the ticket and that I didn’t want my entree he took his sweet time getting it and then walked away as I was tried to hand him my payment. I got so frustrated that I tried to pay at the front. She ended up giving him my card after 10 minutes of waiting and then screaming where is my card, did I get it back. An hour and half wasted for lukewarm miso soup and some really good spring rolls (I’m no hater) I’m still hungry and now frustrated. If you eat from here please just order it to go, which is what I should have done.

Food was good but the service was HORRIBLE. Waitress accused me and my friend of under tipping her before I could even leave a tip. She was very short with us when we would ask questions and her whole demeanor was unwelcoming. She made us feel very uncomfortable and I will never return here again.

Amazing lunch. Had the bento box which was super affordable and tasty — looking at the dishes being delivered to other tables I was sad I wasn’t more adventurous as it all looked amazing. Would definitely go back again. They were also super accommodating of my sisters shellfish allergy.

Went to Sake for happy hour unfortunately the bartender was out injured and they had only one server but the lack of help wasn’t noticeable because it was so good. The food was great too calamari was great. Crunchy rolls and octopus Definitely recommend this spot
