Sake bomb was perfect for my Sushi cravings. Nice clean and inviting restaurant. Plenty of options for all. I love getting the lunch special. 3 rolls and a soup. $14.25. I got the Spicy Yellowtail, Shrimp Tempura, and the Shrimp avocado. So yummy. Not bad at all for the thrifty diner. Definitely come check them out. read more

Clean interior and lots of hibachi tables. I went with a party of 12 to do hibachi dinners. The chef did not disappoint with the show and the food was pretty good. I ended up ordering appetizers from the kitchen and they all came out in a timely manner, hot, and delicious. The server made sure to keep everyone topped off on drinks as well. I think everything is reasonably priced as well for the portions you get. read more

HIGHLY recommend going to Sake Bomb in Cicero if you want to get hair in your food and then be asked how your dinner was and then be told you are in the wrong, or imply you are lying. The hair was in the rice and I pointed it out to the chef not once, but 2 times and he just kept it moving. I also never recieved my food, at all. Dont worry though they COMPROMISED and offered to take the stuff I never recieved off our check. So thanks for going above and beyond for us! These 2 women in the picture then came over and started raising their voice in the middle of a table and accusing us of lying and saying we "ate all the food and didn't complain until the end" except for the waitress never came back until the end... just like I guess I am in the wrong for not getting up from the table to go find the waitress to hunt down my food?! Ive never felt so gaslit in my life. Truly NOT impressed at all. We will never be back. Meet Shannon our waitress and Im assumingg the owner or supervisor who was a total douche canoe. read more

Service was attentive, even though it was busy. Parking was easy and location was very convenient. The sushi was good and fresh and your usual variety. Nothing unusual about the rolls but they delivered well. The rock shrimp was very good but unfortunately, inundated with the sauce. Did my best in wiping off most of it. Not the best that I have had, but certainly one of the best in Syracuse. read more

Have been to your location before this time we ordered to go was just ok. Liked it better eating the food fresh

Went here for hibachi for my brothers birthday and we all enjoyed it minus my 4 year old who was hesitant about the flames coming off the cooktop LOL. Anywho, the food was delicious and it's been a hot minute since we've all been to hibachi but we had a great time. My daughter also said she didn't like it cause they threw food at us (to catch in our mouths).. which i found amusing :) Out waitress was great and we look forward to returning for another hibachi experience. read more

The first thing that I noticed when I walked in this restaurant was the smell. It was very strong & unpleasant. Floors were sticky & there were flies flying around us. At this point, I was just ready to leave but everyone I came with was hungry. Our chef & waitress was great but I just didn't feel comfortable eating there. We ordered on the hibachi side. Sadly, I was not impressed with the filet mignon portion. I did place a to go order of filet mignon for my husband & his portion was the right cut (thick & chunky). Not sure what that was all about. I do have to say that my food was seasoned better than my husband's to go order. His filet mignon was very bland. Overall, service was great but this place is definitely not somewhere I would come to again. read more

Time for another review of Sake Bomb. I am currently in PA and their local sushi restaurant was awful so I need to redeem myself with a good review. We did takeout last Friday. I sent my son to pick it up and it was done early. The garden salad was crisp and no questionable lettuce. The sushi and sashimi combo was right on point. I did the Three Eyed Monster as usual. YUM. My son did his 4 California rolls as usual. Plenty of soy sauce for the amount of sushi we ordered. I will be back in 2 weeks once I am home. I am sure the decor looks the same as 3 weeks prior when we dined in as a family. The restrooms could use a little TLC. read more

Food was delicious. Service was good. Fresh food and hot when served. Clean restaurant. I would recommend the hibachi combo.

We had takeout and the food was great. This is very delicious Japanese food. This location is convenient because it is next to a Target, which means we can eat after we shop. read more

It was delish per norm! Hubby and I went for lunch hibachi and the price is amazing. The portions are huge. The customer service is great and if you like hibachi like me this is a perfect choice. It's pretty big and accommodates just about any party size. I am incredibly full from lunch and I took a whole plate to go. We shared fried ragoons for an app. Must go- read more

I got the scallop hibachi and was a little disappointed that they didn't properly prep the scallops and remove the chewy muscle from the side. It's something I would have expected from an inexperienced chef or someone that isn't familiar with seafood. read more

This is my favorite sushi spot in the area. The fish is always really fresh and you can get get pretty good deals during lunch time. The service is good as well. Today we got the Sushi Lovers Boat for our anniversary. It was more than enough food and super pretty. We always come back! read more

Good place if you're looking for hibachi and other options! I've come for both just a sit down dinner to get sushi and for hibachi. There are SO MANY options for the different types of rolls they offer and you honestly can't go wrong with any of them. I personally love the crazy salmon and the spicy girl (spicy tuna). I've also gotten their drunken noodles to go which was nice and flavorful, although I would've liked it to be a bit spicier but I like my food spicy. read more

Had dinner with three other people and paid my bill with my debit card I checked no tip and wrote in the amount of the bill on the receipt. A cash tip was left on the table.. When I checked my account the following morning an additional 32 dollars had been added to the bill which equaled to a 25% tip .. I contacted the restaurant several times and was given the run around. So be careful when paying with credit cards because they are committing fraud by illegally adding charges read more

Had a hibachi reservation made days in advance for 6:30 on Saturday night. Showed up at 6:20 with the confirmation text and was told even though we had the confirmation they showed now record and had no available seat. If we wanted to wait it would be 45 minutes. There was no offer of any kind for accommodation to even just a regular table or anything. It was just, "no seats, bye." read more

Stopped for a late lunch. Place was empty. We were seated at a dirty table - soy sauce and some sticky substance on the table top from previous guests and food in the chairs. Place was very dark, probably to hide that it wasn't very clean, and it smelled like days old fish. I've been to enough sushi and seafood restaurants to know that wasn't a fresh seafood smell. We looked over the menus, which like the table were sticky, and decided it wasn't for us and left. read more

I have been to this place a few times and have always enjoyed it. Wanted to give habochi a try since I haven't been since covid. This is one of the only places around still doing habochi. The set up is interesting. We were sat with another family, and instead of spacing out, there was plexy glass barrier between us and the other family. We got sushi: the California roll and the spider crab which was good. We both got the combo habochi of chicken and filet mignon which was yummy as always. The meal comes with: salad, soup, veggies, fried rice or noodles, 2 shrimp and your choice of meat. You also get two sauces for dipping: ginger and yumm yumm sauce! (Love this stuff). There is so much food it definitely is enough to take home. Only suggestion would be for the restaurant to do a little more cleaning between guest, I think they should take the time to wipe the chairs down too between guest. read more

Hibachi is always fun and Sake Bomb manages to put on a decent show with good food every time we eat here. While the show may not be as "extensive" as other hibachi restaurants the chefs do a good job and always put a smile on your face. The food is always cooked as requested, the cuts of protein are always tender and everything has good flavor. The hibachi room can get pretty loud when full, so be prepared for that. However, it is to be expected with everyone laughing and enjoying themselves. All in all Sake Bomb always makes for a fun and tasty night out. read more

Maybe it's just that this place draws folks for hibachi (which I didn't do), but it's nothing special. The food was fine, but nothing notable. I ordered tamago and they served one piece and the egg was dry and falling off the rice. I had a tuna and avocado roll which was fine. The udon was fine, but the broth was fairly flavorless. They bumped a top 100 station at a few levels too loud for it not to be distracting hearing Nicki Minaj singing Super Freaky Girl. read more

Won't return. Pros: lots of food. Cons: Quantity over quality. Overly buttered and salted however this is typical of a hibachi style restaurant. Felt it was unjustly expensive for the experience overall. We went tonight, and our table cook was great, although the server was initially slow, inattentive and spread to thin. She left our empty soup and salad bowls, straw wrappers and used plates in front of us the whole time, so our hibachi bench area was a mess. Food was bland and without any spice. The grill itself had old burned on food surrounding it which wasn't not enjoyble to look at the whole time we sat there. The sushi roll and Crab Rangoon were great. but served without much fanfare. Sauces were placed around the table with no mention of what they were. The soup had next to nothing in it, without much flavor. Bathroom was obviously not cleaned as grime and scum were on floor tiles and walls. Ichiban is still the gold standard in town but they were all booked up tonight. This place was available and I see why. Unfortunately we will not be returning but I hope others enjoy it more so than we did. read more

Edit- after posting review, editing because I noticed another review of people that went today and also ordered the filet mignon with similar complaint about the smell and taste of the meat. Doesn't deter us from coming again maybe just for other items (the rolls were great) but I don't think I can order hibachi here. It may have just been a bad day for the restaurant. We went for a new year lunch date and really couldn't decide if we wanted sushi rolls or hibachi so we ordered both! Ordered: 2rolls Angel hair sushi roll, filet mignon hibachi dinner plate and I got chicken hibachi dinner plate Angel hair sushi--love shrimp tempura eel sauce spicy Mayo and sometimes rolls with cream cheese and this has all of that plus strands of imitation crab on top. I was actually impressed how it was thinly sliced out instead of a block in the roll. It added a nice design on top of the roll and actually separated the taste in a pleasing way Hibachi--came with hibachi soup (broth mushroom scallions) and side salad. My bf's hibachi had an extra piece of something we couldn't tell if it was squid but we just took it out and put it on a separate plate. His filet mignon smelled really weird and we both tried it. Can't really tell why but it was really not edible. We were not going to mention anything since we couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. It smelled strong so he separated it onto a small plate and ate the fried rice and veggies. Our waitress came by and asked about the meat and they offered to replace it. I'm not sure if the owner came out to give us the new plate or who exactly she was, we did feel bad about it and she explained it might have been due to the meant not being drained of blood properly. The new filet mignon tasted better however I didn't really trust it. +socially distanced indoor seating +really great sushi +impressive sake list (I'll have to come back for this. Most place don't have sparkling sake and they do!!) +kind service no big wait +great portions (esp hibachi dinner plate) -just the one hiccup however they were so quick to resolve and kind about it so it's not really a negative as much as a hiccup (I probably will never order hibachi here again though) -too full to try more (I usually make room for dessert and I didn't even check to see if they had any which is unlike me!) read more

I stopped in for dinner on a busy Friday night and I was happily surprised with how well we were attended to by our waitress. It was a bit of a wait for our food, but it was well worth it. I highly recommend the Angel Hair roll - it was BEYOND tasty! I also enjoyed their mixed cocktails. Their scorpion bowl and Tyku drink were both fruity and the right amount of strong. read more

Nice laid-back vibe inside. Music playing with a bar area and then a separate hibachi area. The bar was pretty crowded given a weeknight. We tried a few sushi rolls, which were all delicious and very filling. Angel hair, 007, fire roll, and rolls Royce. They have a ton of options. A large variety of alcohol as well. The lemon drop martini was good, but slightly watery. read more

Its alright, good food, but nothing "wow" about it. Good for families, good service, decent price. I would say bring your family not your date. read more

Nice place sushi very good. It's our go to since our favorite place was killed by Covid

The service was great! But that was the only saving grace for this experience. The appetizers were just okay but very expensive and the main meal was nothing to write home about. The ramen was just salt water and had a bizarre taste. Later that evening I felt sick, as did my family. Safe to say the food was the definite cause. I would not return or recommend this restaurant to my friends or family. read more

Food is great! However we left a tip and then noticed that the automatically now add it to your bill! At least on the hibachi table!

Food was just ok. Pad Thai was made with sweet and sour sauce not traditional pad Thai peanut sauce. Sushi was fine, tempura was ok ... waitress was nice and friendly but not a great experience with the food read more

Still best hibachi flavor and sushi in town. The hibachi show definitely isn't what it used to be but the food is totally on point.

This was pretty tasty sushi! I'm really glad I gave it a try, on the recommendation of a friend. The rice was good, the fish was good, and the balance of flavors was spot on. I've only tried the fancy rolls, but I'll try the nigiri sometime soon, too. The variety of fancy rolls is almost overwhelming, but it for sure makes you want to keep coming back to try more. read more

I think I'll have to stick with table service. The last 3-4 times we ordered take out, our orders have been a mess. The food is good so I just dealt with it & carried on ordering a few times a month. Yesterday was the worst yet . When I got home and picked up my bag, it bottom out in my car.. our soups must of been sideways and not shut correctly. Soup was all over my car and our meals. I think orders need to be packed with a lot more care. read more

All of us who had the chicken got food poisoning. I called the restaurant to see if any other patrons had called to let them know about getting sick, and the person who answered the phone said they haven't gotten calls, but they did receive a notice from the health department in the mail. After looking up our order her response was "but you all had the cooked chicken". Does anybody actually order raw chicken?!? We never got refunded for the meal that made most of us sick, and nobody apologized either. read more

I am so glad Cicero has a place like this! They have yummy sushi, fun hibachi, and varying specials depending on the day! It's a cool place to bring your date or fun spot to bring the family. I've tried several different sushi rolls and all of them have been good. My father-in-law likes to get the pineapple fried rice served right in half a pineapple. Big portion and looks appealing! We've met friends and brought our kids to the hibachi section, and everyone loves it! read more

The last time we went there my wife's fried rice tasted burnt as if the oil used was burnt. We said something to the waitress & she had the owner come over. The owner tasted it and said there's nothing wrong with it and walked away. My wife told the waitress she did not want the dish. We weren't charged for it , but there was no talk of can we fix you something else etc. I guess we'll never be back which is a shame since that was about the 10th time we'd eaten there. read more

i have to say i love this place. my go to is shrimp fried rice with add chicken and beef. beware the out is never the same as dining in. 3 times the ratio of rice to meat is awfull. now when u dine in its great every time. i dont get it i'm paying the same price . read more

In the numerous times my girlfriend and I have attended the snack hour, we have never had any issues. The staff has been attentive and the sushi rolls we get have been perfect every time. The snack hour is half price sushi Monday through Thursday. It's from 8pm-9:30pm and you have to sit at the bar. I normally the more extravagant rolls and they always come out perfect. My girlfriend always orders the same California roll and spicy tuna. They have always come out perfectly. We love going for snack hour and love the food and atmosphere! read more

The food was terrible. I had the chicken teriyaki and a dragon roll. There was very little eel in the dragon roll, it was very meh. The chicken teriyaki had no teriyaki sauce whatsoever. The meal was essentially just grilled chicken breast with vegetables. NOT worth the price at all. Bland chicken and vegetables. So disappointing. I will not be back. read more

8pm "snack hour" Sushi destination on weeknights means really good sushi at a super affordable price. During snack hour which is 8-9:30 on S-Th, there are great special rolls for $6 and cheap California type rolls for $3. Beers are also buy one get one half off! Hello value! We highly recommend the Syracuse Roll. There is a local flavor coupon for $15 for two $15 gift cards BUT IT CANT BE USED FOR SNACK HOUR. Last time we were here we got hibachi which was great as well. Buy one get one half off during snack hour. Beers are nice and large and the waters are tremendous, much needed for a salty sushi or hibachi meal. If you can wait till 8 to eat and want to make the trip, it's well worth it. Sit at the sushi bar and eat up! read more
