    Spicy Scallop Roll; Spider Roll, Yellowtail Scallion Roll
    Kristin A.

    Have dined in person two more times and got takeout and still very much a fan! The service is always very friendly and attentive. Their special rolls are delicious. The presentation is always nice. This my new go to in town for sushi. In addition to the special rolls, the spicy edamame is worth a try. Gyoza and shumai good. Veggie fried rice also very good.

    Nice decoration on our plate.

    The food was delicious! Service was great, fast, and sushi had pretty cool decor around the plate. The ambiance was decorated really nice for the holidays.

    Thai Tea delish, kind of has a roasted or malted flavor which is great

    Really good sushi! We didn't try the hibachi but there are more sushi options anyway. The sushi tasted fresh and came out pretty quickly. We ordered some sort of tempura roll with mango on it and an eel and tempura shrimp roll. Both were warm which was so enjoyable. We also got a melon soda and a Thai iced tea which were great. Sushi was reasonably priced but some other items on the menu looked a little more expensive. The dessert menu was also pretty expansive although we didn't get to try it since we were full. I'm taking one star away because our server had her fingers in the little soy sauce bowls when she placed them on the table. The bowls were empty but it made me not want to use them.

    The sushi here is good and service is fast which is nice but for the price you get very small pieces. They have a lunch special that seems more worth the money if you get 3 rolls for $17. Regardless, the sushi was fresh and tasty so I would recommend trying out SAKA.

    Big fan of this place, the sushi consistently impresses with high-quality fish. Although the rolls are a bit small for the price, the incredible flavors make it worthwhile.

    Love Saka so much! Teresa who owns Saka once said that her focus was always good food and a place for people to come together. She achieved it 100%. The sushi is arguably the same or better as some of their more expensive competitors but the atmosphere is so much warmer and friendlier. Saka is one of my favourite places for a casual weeknight sushi fix (great combo offers) or a dinner out with friends. Make sure to get a reservation for weekend nights because the business is booming! If you're serious about supporting women-owned businesses, Saka is your spot.

    Pork Gyoza

    Very good! We dined in last week and loved it. The service was excellent and so was the food! We loved Teresa, she was so kind and friendly. We ordered pork gyoza to start ($6.50) - little small but good! We then ordered avocado salad ($7) very good!! Red dragon roll ($17) and Maki combo choice D ($23)- we got to select 3 rolls of choice and it came with miso soup. Love this option- we ordered eel cucumber, salmon mango, and shrimp avocado. We also ordered chicken fried rice ($17)- very good! Would absolutely recommend!

    The food was amazing, and the service was great. I will definitely come back to eat here again.

    Cartilage in tuna

    Underwhelming and overpriced. I got the chirashi, which was $30 - pricey but I'm willing to pay for a good chirashi assortment. This certainly was not - 3 salmon, 3 tuna (poorly sliced, with cartilage), 3 fluke, 3 white tuna (gross), 1 kani cut in half, 1 small shrimp, 2 tamago, 2 radishes and an excess of shiso leaves which tasted off. For this price you should typically see something premium (ikura, uni, or maybe an oyster). Or at least some yellowtail. Sheesh. Very disappointing. Will not return.

    We will absolutely be back! My boyfriend and I went for dinner and were very impressed. Sushi tasted great and service was great as well. The rolls are huge

    Sushi is so delicious and friendly staff. 10/10 recommend

    Saku is attractive in a strange Two-Face kind of way, where one room is all pink sakura lightness…read moreand being, while the other room (where we were seated) is all dark, depressing velvet underground melancholy. The menu kind of reflects this struggle too, as it can't seem to decide if it wants to offer more traditional Japanese sushi-ya fare or something more innovative. As a result, we kind of wound up with the middling middle with our choice of 4 specialty rolls: 1) Saku: Probably the best and most traditional of our rolls with salmon and avocado inside, and ponzu, chives and crispy shallots on the outside. 2) Lobster: Not enough lobster salad inside to justify the overuse of miso-yuzu mayo, and just a whole ton of filler nonsense going on outside wrapped in pink soy paper. 3) Drop It Like Its Hot: Not spicy enough to justify the cute name. This should've been an easy slam dunk in flavor, but everything felt kind of bland and flat. Maybe due to the lack of nori. 4) Crunch Drunk Love: Lots of fish, but again, not enough flavor. We also got the Edamame with Spicy Miso Butter, which was just OK--the butter was weirdly sour. I wouldn't order it again. In fact, I....wouldn't really order anything here again.

    We've been coming here for a few years, and unfortunately the experience has declined noticeably…read moreover time -- which is disappointing because the restaurant has a lot of potential and a great market. We've visited almost every Thursday during the winter, and the dining room has repeatedly been uncomfortably cold. Most guests, including us, kept our jackets on throughout the meal. When we asked about it, we received conflicting explanations: the manager said the heat had just been turned on because dinner service was starting, while our server told us the heater was broken. Given that we experienced the same issue earlier in the winter -- when space heaters were set up -- it seems like a known problem that hasn't been properly addressed. The bathrooms were even colder, which made things especially uncomfortable. On top of that, the bathroom fixtures had rough, visible trim/paste around the edges, which looked unfinished and unappealing. The food quality has also slipped. The Korean fried chicken bites used to be a favorite, but this time they tasted like plain store-bought chicken breast with only a light drizzle of gochujang -- barely enough to notice any flavor. When our drinks arrived, the server joked that they would "warm us up," which felt a bit tone-deaf given how cold the space was. As a long-time customer, it's disappointing to say this will likely be our last visit.

    We got crab rangoons, Salmon avocado roll, Philadelphia roll, and spicy tuna roll…read more Rangoons were very stuffed with cream cheese, almost too much. Not enough crab. And the sauce they came with was too sweet, i prefer more of a sweet chili sauce. Also, they were a little undercooked, not enough crisp. The sushi rolls were all fantastic. Definitely Meets my standards. Filled really well, not too much rice, ingredients tasted fresh. And the spicy tuna was not too spicy which is what I prefer, and it was very gushy, which I love. Overall, i loved the sushi. Would definitely return for more sushi.

The sushi roll was fairly standard, though thankfully, contained more eel than it had on my previous order. The soup, however, was excellent! The broth was rich and flavorful; it contained tender strips of white meat chicken, shitake mushrooms, and a handful of other vegetables. It was fantastic and definitely worth ordering again. The pair made for the perfect late evening meal to tide me over until the next day.
