Sake used to be okay regarding the food flavor. Now I just find it becoming worse and worse in each way. Food quality, flavor, price, stupid reseavtion, what are you expecting? read more

Prior to dining at Sake, I thought Hawaii was my best sashimi experience, but Sake wins! The sashimi was like none other. The wine list is fantastic! Try something new. I recommend 2 Paddocks Pinot Noir. I've unfortunately been stuck with the same terrible waitress both times I've been there. Next time will insist that I sit somewhere else, but the sashimi and wine, are just fantastic. read more

Always like going to this place. Friendly staff, nice ambiance. The menu is diverse and simply you can't choose something that isn't good. The KitKat desert is a recommended one. Good wines, good value, could be a bit better in noise level. If you can reserve well in advance and book a quiet table. read more

This place was awesome! The food was amazing, the wine was great, the service was wonderful. I went on a Friday night with a few people and we ordered 10 different things to share and a couple bottles of wine. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was upscale yet also relaxed. I would highly suggest this spot read more

When I'm travelling on biz, I find sushi places to be safe harbors to eat as a singleton. You can cozy up to the sushi bar and enjoy dinner without the shame of sitting at a table alone. Sake is a pretty sceney and hoppy place so it it tough to keep a low profile if you are a pathetic loner looking for a bite. Oh well. The food is good and plenty pricey. Sitting up close to the sushi bar was cool except for one thing: the food torch. For some reason, the sushi chefs like to hit the majority of the plates with the creme brulee-roasting food torch. This struck me as odd especially as sushi is intended to be raw fish. When my torched sushi came out, it had an unpleasant burned hair taste that I could have done without. You ask me, the torch pretty much ruined a lot of good raw fish. There seemed to a 1:1 ratio of staff to customers. I'm talking LOTS of staff even during a busy evening. The hostess looked like Katy Perry so that was good. read more

Loved this place! I am so fortunate a local in Sydney took me there. It's in a great area called The Rocks. A bit pricey but the food is amazing, so worth it. Sashimi tacos are an absolute must! read more

Everything we ordered was absolutely divine. I was in sushi heaven. I had the green tea kit kat for dessert which was just orgasmic. I cannot rave enough about this place. Too bad the same cannot be said for its Melbourne branch. read more

Here's the deal with this place: The food here is really good. If I was judging based on the food alone, this place would be getting 4 stars. What brings it down a notch for me was the service. My two friends and I walked in on New Years Day after doing the bridge climb and asked if there was a table for 3. The hostess gave us attitude. After my girl friend pointed out that there was an open bar table right behind her, she looked and said, oh yeah, I guess you can sit there. If we weren't so hungry, we would have left because of her rudeness. But we were starving. So we sat down. It took us too long to order because our waitress didn't come over right away and when she did, SHE was rude to us. They only bring you one pot of hot tea with no hot water refills (I'm sorry, but who does that?) and white rice was $7 for a tiny bowl. Really? For white rice? Like I said, the food here was good but it was overpriced and the service was atrocious. I guess Sydney is lacking in good sushi restaurants? This would never fly in LA. read more

Worst restaurant experience in a long. They were out of half of everything on the menu. So I ended up with the ribs which they recommend, which is a great choice if you are a fan of over salted grease. They forgot my wife's meal completely, she ordered two sushi rolls. They are hard sell on ordering more food or drink, they asked us no less than 6 times during the meal. They finally brought the check but never brought my wife's second sushi roll. At that point she was over it. It might have been an issue that they kept switching the waitress on us. They are trying to be a high end trendy, chic restaurant, but they missed the mark with terrible service and food. read more

Came here craving some tasty modern Japanese and Sake delivered! Some interesting items like popcorn shrimp, as well as some good classics like a yummy miso soup. They had a nice wine list and attentive service. Only gripe was the unannounced roe, which came all over a tempura prawn roll. Great décor and fit out, wonder what it would be like when the argyle is pumping loudly though. read more

Sexy place to grab quality sush. Manager was super cool attentive and server was just ok. Food well presented, drinks/sake nice and good vibe. Although there was an uninvited pest who crawled on to the top of our table which was a bit of a surprise. I quickly downed the last drop of my sake and turned it upside down to capture the little c-roach and casually brought it to the attention of the server/manager without causing a big fuss for the other diners. I'm so considerate, right? I'm not the squeamish type, but had it been in my dish it would've probably been a different story. All good though, things like this happen. I would dine here again, ;-) read more

Went to Sake for my birthday dinner with my wife, surprise for me. Really rate this place, you know how you say "it was good but we've done it" well this wasn't one of these places, I want to go back. Seriously good food, incredibly tasty, good sake (naturally) and good service. Can't rave about this one too much. VG. read more

Overly priced for too spicy sushi. Beautiful restaurant otherwise. Romantic and good service. read more

Smaller servings, poor changes in the menu and the beloved kingfish with the citrus/ponzu has gone! One of my fav restaurants is now just reduced to 'average & expensive'. read more

We had a fantastic meal here on our last night in Sydney. Would definitely recommend it to any sushi enthusiast.

The food is amazing. But the service lets it down. We received your first 6 plates within 90mins. Which is fair. The next 2 plates also took 90mins. The sake was coming out different to the meals also. Not saying it's a bad place but differently the service and time management need to be better. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing! The hardest thing was trying to choose what to order as it is all divine. We went with the set menu and couldn't fault a thing. The wait staff are very helpful and the place has a great atmosphere. Saki is by far one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney! read more

Staggeringly beautiful restaurant. Japanese food with a fusion flair. Expensive with nouveau cuisine line portions.

It's not easy to find a restaurant that you can invite any friends who end up with enjoying this restaurant.

This is possibly one of the very best sushi restaurants in Sydney. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is fantastic too (something that I often find lacking - but not at this restaurant). Somewhat pricey, but if you don't mind the cost you will enjoy virtually everything you try here. read more

Solid trendy and bigger-than-life Japanese/Asian fusion place. GREAT sake room and selection. Knowledgeable bartenders. Food was very good, no disappointments. Standouts included the lettuce wraps, the blue cod main, and the pork belly. Sushi and sashimi fresh as expected, nothing out of the norm for this class of restaurant. Didn't stay for dessert, but they looked good! read more

Great food, but really on the expensive side. Absolutely loved the environment and atmosphere. A must try. read more

Overpriced and the service was just so-so. The roll was nothing special. The fish was fresh and of good quality, but you can get that level of quality at most respectable establishments. I feel like people go here for the posh environment only. read more

We were walking past Sake around 430pm, and decided it sounded good, so went inside... we were welcome to come in, but the restaurant was not open until 530pm. They let us order sashimi and dumplings off the bar menu, and it was so delicious, we are going ro go back there tomorrow for dinner. We couldn't believe they even let us in when they weren't even open yet! So awesome. The staff was all about customer service. I highly highly recommend! !!! I'm so impressed! read more

Great food, meh service but it was kinda late so maybe they were short staffed.

Location, ambience and service were good. Food was pretty ordinary - portions small and outrageously priced! Very commercial operation - it is as if they have tried to reproduce a Japanese version of Mr Wong's but fall desperately short as the food has a "mass produced" feel and taste rather than the expected "specially prepared for you" feel that Mr Wong is able to achieve. The location makes it a destination - one that is unlikely to be re-visited though! read more

I lived in Australia last year for 6 months. Sake was a place I made it to several times, I am now back home and dream about the Chirasi Salad, or the kingfish jalapeno. Such good food. The Hattori Hanzo is the must have cocktail there as well. Knowledgeable staff, and an entertaining environment helps to make this one of my favorite spots to dine in the world. read more

Is place is great! We ordered almost every item from the menu. Really love their wide selection of wine and sake. Def. worth checking out if you're a sushi fan. read more

Amazing food!!!!!! An absolute must. Japanese inspired but not traditional. All meals are tapas style to share. Recommend the kingfish with jalapeño sauce as it is their signature dish and the best dish I've eaten in a long time. Also recommend the prawn dumplings as they exploded with flavour before I even bit into it. Downsides are that its very noisy so book a private booth if you're after some quiet conversation. $80-100pp read more

I arrived at the door on a Saturday night without a booking, but the stuff were very friendly and helpful, Found a place for me, food and drink were awesome. read more

Oh Sake! This is one amazing restaurant! This outstanding Japanese restaurant located in the heart of the Rocks, just keeps getting better and better. The service is outstanding, the food is delicious, the cocktail's devine and whatever you do: save plenty of room for the deserts!! I've been to this restaurant a number of times and every time I find another reason to love it even more. I was a huge fan of the Tuna Tacos which come in the Tuna Tasting Plate so I was over the moon to see the arrival of Salmon Tacos - yum! The specials are always worth a go. In fact most things on the menu are worth a go... I highly recommend - Tuna Tasting Plate - Sashimi tacos - Wagyu new style - Popcorn Shrimp - Steamed Prawn Dumplings - Spider Maki The deserts are out of this world, the cocktails are superb and if you don't find something you like the staff are more than obliging to whip up a mojito or two to keep you happy. The decor is gorgeous and no matter where you are seated this restaurant is a special and superb experience. The only downside can be the sunken table and bench seats, which are extremley difficult to get in and out of in a dress and high heels - particularly after a cocktail or two. Believe all the hype and praise about Sake. An impressive restaurant and a wonderful experience. read more

Delicious food, delicious wine, fun atmosphere. I wish their seats had backs, but that's my only complaint! The popcorn shrimp is amazing.

King fish jalapeño is a must, was fresh and tasty, pop corn shrimp was very well done. A little too much mayo for my personal liking, but my parter loved it! The chicken teriyaki was delicious and came with a range of vegetables. The while dining experience, venue and staff really make the experience a fine one! read more

Food was ok. Our table wanted a glass of wine each but the waitress was nasty and refused to serve us for no apparent reason. She thought we were too intoxicated but when we explained to the waitress that we weren't drinking she didn't listen and was very cold to us the whole time during our time at the restaurant. read more

If you're up for a sake-filled night out with your partner or friends, you simply must visit Sake Restaurant. A restaurant that serves contemporary Japanese cuisine, they have numerous types of sake for every occasion and then some. Yuho Junmai Mioya Ishikawa sake is a definite must try for all you sake lovers out there... and even for those who haven't tried sake before. While enjoying your sake (maybe a little too much), you'll definitely have your pick of yummy Japanese dishes. Their Sashimi combo is well particularly good, fresh and melt-in-your-mouth sashimi will leave your taste buds tingling in delight. Highly recommended! read more

Sake Restaurant in the Rocks, I reckon is a must see especially if you love Japanese cuisine and funnily enough, drinking sake! Even if you don't it's worth popping in and trying it out. It will set you back a couple of bucks but is certainly worth it. There's so much to choose from so it may even be worth grabbing a bunch of friends and heading in for a banquet like I did. Everything was great, the dumplings, rice balls, kingfish, teriyaki and so on and so forth and when you wash it down with a wine, cocktail or some sake (or all of the above) it makes for a fun night out, if not a touch hazy! Go on, dust the mouth balls from your wallet and treat yourself, you'll be happy you did! read more

I agree that it is a bit of a "scene" but knowing that going in allows you to focus on the meal. First, a very interesting wine list and extremely knowledgable server made for great drinks. Food was fantastic and service was friendly. Yum. read more

I would say the worst customer service I have seen. I was in Sydney for only a couple nights and heard this place had great food. My friend and I wanted to sit for the omakase. We went in early on a Sunday at 7:15 and the restaurant was empty. Even the sushi bar was vacant. The hostess looked us up and down and paused ... and then asked if we had a reservation. Which we didn't. She said the first table wouldn't be available for an hour. I could see maybe 50 empty tables. 60 table business and I could see maybe 10 guests. We said we would sit at the bar - which was empty - and she said "sorry." We would have easily dropped $300 and they wouldn't have missed a single table. I can't stand blanket judgments. And I can't imagine this is good for business. I'm not a fan. read more

Excellent, innovative fresh sushi! Sit at the counter to see what looks good that night!

Great food. We didn't eat anything that was bad. The sake was the best I ever had hands down. The waitresses were great also.
