The sushi is not the best and the food is good, not quite great. The menu is varied and this is a good place to go when eating in a group. Everyone will find something to satisfy.

Hmmm, where do I start? I’ve been to another Sake Cafe location and wasn’t impressed, but figured I’d give this location a try since someone suggested it for happy hour. I’ll start with the positive things: free and ample parking, beautiful restaurant interior, nice ambiance, and amazing service! Now on to the food. I had the chicken spring rolls, crunchy roll and pan seared dumplings. They had some great happy hour specials, but everything tasted meh. I was expecting more of a flavor explosion in my mouth and a couple of pieces of avocado in my crunchy roll were starting to turn brown. It was only $4, so I didn’t eat it. It was interesting that they only had low sodium soy sauce. I think if I had the regular soy sauce, it could have helped some. The value was good for the price, but this place isn’t for me.

Avoid this restaurant. They served rancid, grey toro (fatty tuna) and could care less. I can't imagine how sick I would have gotten if I didn't know better. I stood up, showed it to the main sushi chef, who looked horrified. He attempted to say, I'll take that off, but really? How does that even happen? Someone had to handle the fish, look at it, smell the stink and then arrange it on a plate. I stood up and walked out, hoping I wouldn't get sick from the few things we already ate. This restaurant has no business serving raw fish. They should be ashamed of themselves. I could go on about the horrible service, sushi chefs with attitudes and the lack of cleanliness of the restaurant, but to serve grey colored, rancid fish, is beyond anything I've ever seen. Just don't eat here.
