I came hungry and left happy, which is honestly the highest compliment I can give. The Korean fried chicken wings had me questioning why I don't order wings at sushi restaurants more often because they were ridiculously good. Crispy, flavorful, and gone much faster than I'd like to admit. We also ordered the Mexican Roll and the bubbalicious Roll, and neither disappointed. Fresh fish, great flavor, and beautiful presentation. Every bite was a reminder that sometimes you don't need a huge menu or a trendy gimmick to make an impression. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was wonderful, and the food arrived quickly without feeling rushed. Sakari has definitely earned a spot on my list of places to revisit whenever a sushi craving hits. Sakari understood the assignment, and I'll definitely be making my way back. read more

To start the Lobster Fireball - Blend of lobster meat, jalapeno cream cheese, togarashi, served with hot sauce, was amazing. My main course of the Chirashi Fusion - Chef's selection of sashimi & toppings over sushi rice was a nice detour in style for me. The real standout in my mind was the freshness of the fish. You could really tell there was a difference as compared to many other places I have been. Service was generally good. Even though I had it, I am still not entirely sure what the "Fusion" option adds to the Chirashi. As for the place itself, it has a great modern feel. Super clean and though parking can be tough for this area the lot way in the back (not too far from where this place is) seems to have the best luck. read more

THEY STOLE FROM ME!! DON'T ORDER FROM HERE IF YOU WANT WHAT YOU PAID FOR!! I tried ordering $60 worth of food via Uber eats from them. The wait time was increased by 25 minutes and I immediately canceled the order. Uber eats would not refund because the merchant already accepted the order, so Sakari was going to be given the payment regardless. I tried to resolve with Sakari instead. The manager promised me a gift card refund for the meal so that I could eat there in the future, considering they couldn't refund me themselves even though they were getting the money from Uber Eats anyways, and I really wanted to try out the place still. I called today to confirm their offer and instead the owner decided not to give me the food I ALREADY PAID FOR and to take it up with my credit card company that will not give me my money back. Harking back on, THEY STOLE FROM ME! Despite all of the hoops, I've had to go through for this large amount of food I never got to eat, the review is primarily due to the owners lack of empowerment to management to make decisions that are inherently unimportant in the grand scheme of things, reflecting a cheap nature/non-customer centric approach to business; and in this day and age, that is pertinent to success. Definitely felt like a slap in the face, or to my wallet actually. Also, no photo with this review because I RECEIVED NOTHING! **Update** after being denied a refund from both Uber Eats, Sakari, and my credit card company, I appealed the case after it was settled and was able to get my money back. I'm keeping the review as is considering it wasn't a certainty that I was going to get my money back without going the extra mile with my credit card company. read more

Moriwase with chef toppings $55! Worth it, super fresh fish, great choices. We also ordered a truffle sushi roll and the sauce on the top was delicious. The restaurant was beautiful and clean, plenty of parking. I've been here twice and both times were spectacular. I would definitely recommend this places Excellent service. They have plenty of food options to choose from. read more

Stopped into Sakari Sushi just planning to have some sake, but after looking at the menu we couldn't resist trying a few things -- and we're so glad we did! We ordered the rock & roll and the Hamachi, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Our server was super helpful, walking us through the menu and explaining the different flavors, and our food came out really quickly. It was a relaxed, laid-back vibe when we went -- not too crowded at all -- which made it even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back soon to work our way through more of the menu! read more

We came in for dinner and had a fabulous experience! The restaurant is sleek and modern. Service was fantastic. For our appetizer, we got the pan seared gyoza. They were solid and easy to share. For my entree, I got the chirashi and upgraded to the sauce and condiment paring. The presentation was gorgeous and all the protein was exceptional quality. The toppings and sauces paired beautifully with each fish. It was like an omakase experience in a bowl. It was truly a work of art. Sakari is one of my favorites! read more

This is a good sushi restaurant if you're in the area. They offer sushi plus non-sushi items to make everyone happy. It's a bit pricey but the quality is good. For my sushi and non-sushi family, we ordered 2 bento boxes and 2 rolls. The 1st bento box we got salmon teriyaki, and the mango tango roll. The 2nd bento box we got the bulgogi and chicken teriyaki. For the sushi rows we got the dragon skin and the rock 'n' roll. Everything was delicious. Sushi tasted fresh with the rice being very soft. The bento box has enough food for 2 people to share if you're not too hungry. This is my 2nd time here and I'll definitely be back. read more

Came for a quick happy hour before a movie and ended up indulging instead -- and I'm so glad we did! We ordered the fusion sashimi, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was incredibly fresh, buttery, and melted in your mouth, especially the toro (that was my favorite). Everything was beautifully presented, and the flavors paired together perfectly. We got the spicy tuna roll and edamame from the happy hour menu, as well. Can't ever go wrong with either of those. Great spot for happy hour! read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner on a week night. We were seated right away. They had a few specials. One in particular we enjoyed was the fried yuca ball with spicy tuna on top. Very unique worth trying. We also tried the chicken Katsu bao bun with pickled vegetables. That was delicious and it came with two. We ordered two sushi rolls the triple tail, and the Lucious roll. Both were very fresh tasting, and the food came out quickly. Service was great and very attentive Overall, it was a great experience read more

Got the bento with teriyaki chicken and sashimi for around $33 for a quick dinner after my movie. The gyozas were tasty and so were the sashimi. The teriyaki chicken was a little dry and small. The service was great and my water was always refilled without having to ask. The ambiance is nice, a little small but interior decor is wonderful to admire. The sashimi and gyoza were tasty, but it wasn't enough to justify the price of the entire bento. I ate everything but half of the rice and was still hungry. read more

Sakari, Sakari, SAKARI! For a more chain based sushi spot the fish was incredibly fresh and the flavor on the other pieces of food were outstanding. Not viewed below because my mouth ate first before my camera could enjoy it but the garlic butter edamame I would simply buy buckets of it if I could because it was that good. I personally ordered the Otoro roll and the Ceviche roll (Otoro being my favorite since I am a tuna girl at heart) and know it can be a bit on the saltier side of sushi for the Otoro whereas the Ceviche roll was 100% sweeter and more on the buttery side of things. Overall very good rolls for a quick dinner night out. The ambiance was soft and sound, comfy seating and quick service that came from the sweetest little waitress. Good date night spot as well! read more

The food and service is outstanding. They were very accommodating as we went from sitting outside to inside because it was raining and then back outside once the rain stopped. It's visually appealing inside however I will say that they use Fabulosa to clean so if you don't like that smell, you definitely will want to sit outside. Sushi is fresh and well-made and the portions are perfect. read more

Delicious and very fresh sushi. Everything we tasted was amazing, and the rolls were unique. I especially loved the Chef's Exclusive with the addition of the truffle oil. It complimented the fish perfectly. The rolls were a bit pricey but you're in Winter Park so we expected to pay a bit more. We almost left because we waited a good ten minutes to even be greeted by a server, and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. A number of servers passed right by us without even acknowledging us, and that bothered me a lot. I'm glad we stuck with it because of how tasty the sushi was. Once our server finally came over, she apologized and was very nice, but service was still a bit slow. Luckily it's right next door to the movie theatre so we made our movie right in the nick of time. read more

My niece, who is obsessed with sushi, recommended Sakari Sushi to me, so I decided to pop in on a trip to the Winter Park Village. She was not wrong. By far, I have never had better sushi. The freshness is the main thing! Not "fishy" at all! The crew behind the sushi bar are busy busy but the level of quality and presentation do not miss!! My server, Ricky, was also amazing. Super welcoming and just the right level of attentiveness. I absolutely will be back often! The vibes here are family friendly and happy. Upscale decor and seating, but it's ok to dress up or down and you'll fit right in. read more

My friend and I decided that we wanted to have a sushi date so we popped in to the super cute sushi spot. The service was very fast. The lunch menu was super affordable. We started off with miso soup, which of course is a staple and it was solid. We also ordered the truffle tuna. It was not as tasty as we would expect. The edges were crispy, but the fish was fresh. We also got the duck Ramen, which could've used some additional seasoning and was a little bit bland. The sushi rolls, however, are an absolute hit and super fresh. Looking forward to coming back to trying the lunch menu. read more

Let me start off by saying this place surprised me. It's tucked away in Winter Park Village with tons of other restaurants but this place is truly a hidden gem. I stopped by for the happy hour to try a few of the appetizers. The service is excellent, from the moment you walk in until you leave, the wait staff is very attentive, kind, and accommodating. It is absolutely beautiful inside! This restaurant is clean and quant with unique art work. It looks very upscale inside for a nice dinner but it is also a place you can chill and unwind for happy hour. Now to the food! These appetizers were amazing! I ordered the polar bear roll, pork belly baos, and Korean fried chicken wings. The polar bear roll had a nice lite crunch on the outside and very tasty on the inside. The bao's were soft and moist and the sauce on it was exploding with flavor. The Korean fried chicken wings were tasty and crisp with the perfect amount of sauce. They all were equally delicious but if I had to choose the polar bear sushi roll was my favorite. They have really good happy hours deals Monday-Thursday. This is definitely one of my favs and I only had happy hour so far. I can only imagine how the dinner tastes. This place is definitely a must visit and one of my go to's in this area. read more

The staff was great while I was waiting for the food. I will be back read more

Winter Park-Probably some of the most delicious sushi I have encountered in a very long time! Had lunch with a GF and we were starving. Our waiter, Ricky, was outstanding with his knowledge of the menu and his recommendations. We appreciated his sweet and helpful demeanor as well. We shared the tempura avocado. We scarfed it so fast I almost forgot a pic!!! Delicious! The Rock & Roll and the VIP rolls. Everything about each ingredient was so fresh and tasty. We were still craving MORE so we had the cinnamon soy pork belly too! Delicious as well. Top it off with 2 glasses of vino and we were happy little campers. Their menu had an outstanding selection of various combos for their rolls. You never really get such different choices at the usual sushi spots. We will ABSOLUTELY be back. Ask for Ricky. He's THE BOMB!! read more

Came for a quick work lunch and was not disappointed. The menu had plenty of options for bento boxes, hibachi, sushi and daily specials. I went with the chicken wings that had a sticky sweet and smoky sauce (and this fun plate design) as well as a couple pieces of fresh sake nigiri. The salmon was so tender and was a nice refreshing bite to build the appetite before the wings. The service was extremely attentive and very welcoming. Would highly recommend returning. read more

Stopped in for a nice lunch. No wait at 1pm! We got lucky! First time here so we asked for recommendations from our server. She was helpful and friendly and everyone here is very attentive. Excellent service in a sparkling clean establishment. So many options (such as large menu- a regular menu, lunch menu, and 2 "weekend special" menus. I asked the server about the lobster skewer special ($25). She advised an appetizer lobster special. We agreed. It was tasty as was the sauce on the side, however was absolutely not worth the cost. Maybe 2 bites in total. (Apparently also $25). I ordered the lunch steak bulgogi bento box ($17). It came with miso soup, ginger salad, 3 gyoza, white rice, 4 pieces of California roll, and a large serving of beef. This was an amazing value and everything was fresh and delicious!!! My daughter ordered the 2 sushi roll combo ($23) and had the Ichiban and the spicy tuna roll (requested no cucumbers). The spicy tuna came with avocado on top (which we didn't realize) so it was not her favorite lunch. Though it was all fresh-it was not her taste. We had 2 waters and with the tip, our lunch was about $80. We both left very full and are sure to be back. The service and food were excellent-check them out! read more

When I arrived at the restaurant it was not busy at all, but you can tell they were understaffed. I was greeted and told to give them a minute and then they'd seat me which was fine. Once I was seated I asked for water and was told they'd be right back, but I sat there for almost 15-20 minutes before someone came back and asked me if I was ready to order and if I wanted a drink. When I put in my order I got one of the rolls from the chef's specials menu and a roll off their traditional menu. It took around 30 minutes to receive my rolls. I felt like I kept getting forgotten about because once I received my food no one came to check to see how I enjoyed it until I was already almost done. The restaurant itself was nice and clean. The food was okay, but I'm in no rush to return. read more

I used to come to this place all the time years ago when I lived nearby. It has been so long, but we were in Winter Park Village, and decided to stop in for dinner. They still had a happy hour menu available, so we got to try some nice appetizers for cheap prices. We got the salmon ponzu, hamachi crudo, and lemon garlic edamame. The happy hour portions aren't the full portion size, but for like $6-7 each, you get to try some good stuff. We also ordered the ceviche roll and twin dragon roll. The twin dragon had tempura eel inside, topped with torched escolar. We both really liked that roll. The ceviche roll had yellow tail with cucumber, lime and micro cilantro. Everything tasted really fresh and delicious. The restaurant was clean with some updated decor, and our server was very nice. It wasn't very busy when we got there, and it didn't take very long for us to get our food. read more
