    Green tea Ice cream
    Idy C.

    I used don't like AYCE sushi because usually the stores served low grade sashimi and service were always hit and miss. But Sake lifted up the standard. The sashimi are fresh and the food was served quick and with nice presentation. They have a wide variety to pick from hot dishes to sushi rolls to sashimi. Everything is delicious. Server always pay attention to what we need. And at the end we were also offered for ice cream. Will definitely go back with friends and family.

    Sake is a new AYCE sushi spot in Napa and it's really amazing! I have quite low standards for AYCE sushi, but Sake really raises the bar. Each person is allowed to order 2 items from each section which is quite generous! The servers were kind. They would also clean off our table often. The only hard part was trying to get the attention of a server to order more rounds. The fish is really good quality for AYCE. The rice to fish ratio is great. And their food is just overall yummy! My absolute favorites were the seared salmon and salmon belly nigiri. They were amazing! My least favorite was the pepper fin. I'm not sure if they made a mistake but instead of ponzu like the menu states, we got unagi sauce on ours. So it wasn't our fave due to the overwhelming amount of sauce on it.

    Really good quality, fish to rice ratio, great and quick service, good value, good variety, easy parking AND online check in. Overall, easy, fun and delicious. Worth the price!

    Found a great AYCE sushi place in a Napa strip mall. Service was quick and we were checked on repeatedly for beverage service and made to order items from the menu. Everything is included with no uncharges. There are a good amount of rolls to choose from, appetizer assortment, nigiri with not too much rice, hand rolls, and sashimi. The portions are small so you can sample or specify how many you want of each. Fish tasted fresh. We finished our meal with green tea ice cream.

    Food here was actually really good. Except that the salmon was mushy. Service nice and fast so as the waiting time. Ill be coming back. $40/person weekends and nights.

    My faves seared tuna, salmon , white tuna, hamachi,  tuna

    Great AYCE sushi. One thing to note is you pre-order e.g how many slices of fish or Nigir for Sashimi. I tend to order by two of each i wanted to try and you can order again. My husband and took a slow approach of ordering some salad and appetizers and one roll(8 pieces). 2nd time a few more different Sashimi, hamachi kama(1 order per person so not unlimited) and 1 roll. 3rd order same but with soft shell crab. You dont want to waste as they will charge you but also why waste food as my nanay would remind me. 90mins is a time limit so no super slow eating . Worth the price as you get a lot and different choices. A big group allows you to try different rolls but with just two of us we kept it to two rolls while ordering a lot of Sashimi and nigiris. Sashimi was fresh. The rolls and selections were extensive. Has some different from the pinole location like salmon skin salad, seared tuna Sashimi, green tea ice cream, Hamachi kama (don't remember if pinole has this one). Salmon Skin Salad. Yummy slightly sweet dressing. Sashimi was great my faves were the seared tuna, white tuna, and salmon but everything was fresh nicely sliced into bite size. Hamachi kama was perfectly grilled just on a small size for 1 order My hubby and ai had 2 bites each. We didn't order the 2nd one just too much work lol. But the sauce was great we kept dipping our sashimi in it. This location has green tea ice cream served in cute little cups with wooden spoon like elementary school days lol..it was very frozen so waited a few minutes to let it thaw. Service was great they cleared plates and took our orders promptly. There was no wait when we went Sunday around 7:30pm.

    This is such a great addition to Napa. There isn't any AYCE sushi places close by unless you go to Fairfield or Vacaville or Concord so this is perfect for us American Canyon/Napa folks. The sashimi and the nigiri is so fresh and buttery. I love how the presentation of the sashimi is on par with higher end sushi establishments. That special touch does not go unnoticed. They also have way more selection than other AYCE sushi spots such as fried rice, short ribs, teriyaki, and they also have an extensive appetizer and salad menu. The service is great, the food comes out quick and you get ice cream for dessert! I feel the price is worth it and I've gone here 4 times since they opened. The wait is not usually more than 15 minutes but I try to go at off times to beat the rush. I highly recommend if you have a big appetite but a small wallet lol

    Came for lunch right when they opened at 11 on a Tuesday. As the first ones there, we had prompt service while their crew was still eating. The food came out quickly. The nigiri was all good. The ambiance isn't amazing as I read this was a former Wendy's. But who needs frills? This is pretty high quality sushi for AYCE. And lunch is only $25. Would definitely come back and try dinner

    Japanese AYCE usually have lower quality of food, but not this one. This place allows unlimited orders of fresh sashimi and offers a good variety of cold and cooked dishes. We ordered salmon/yellowtail/tuna sashimi, scallop/seared salmon/tuna/raw shrimp/ikira nigiri, hamachi kama, tuna tartare, yellowtail jalapeño, salmon lover, fried oyster, fried calamari, soft shell crab, tonkatsu, spider roll, salmon avocado roll, and more. Free ice cream as well. Drinks cost extra. Adults $40. Kids have discounts. On Sundays around 6:30pm, the wait was roughly 30 minutes for a party of 6. This place is currently in soft opening phase. Hopefully the quality of the food and the generous selections will sustain.

    I saw this place on Yelp and thought I must be misunderstanding what I'm reading. AYCE sashimi and it looks like this ?! I was not mislead. You CAN get bowl after bowl after bowl of fresh sashimi for $40 a person. Coming from Reno (which seems to be the birthplace of AYCE sushi) we always felt we could be ok with the lower quality sushi because it was THE only way to profitably do AYCE. We were wrong! Every piece was just as delicious (or more!) than the last. This seemed to be more of a locals spot than a tourist trap. We recommend going around 5 or 5:30 to avoid the crowd and the wait. We did get one roll. It was tasty. It had a lot less rice than we were used to which my husband loved but I could have added a little more rice. If you're not in to raw food but still want to join your friends then this is feasible here! Lots of udon, teriyaki, katsu, fried rice, and other appetizers. If you're in it for the cooked sushi, this is probably not the place to go. Loved the Takoyaki! So gooey and octopus was not too chewy. My only con was that I couldn't find a changing table.. I didn't know it was legal to not provide one, but honestly for the price and the fish quality it didn't bother me at all to go change the baby in the car and come back to eat more. I'm assuming given it's Napa there are higher end options, but for much higher prices and probably way more formal. Sake is much more of a casual place, which is exactly what we wanted. We will be back!

    OMGOSH ! Great review.... This place is amazing Brand New AYCE Japanese Sushi Restaurant, service was swift with and on-the-spot from Mary & Nina serving and quick bussers (the young Latino man Moises, with the gauge earrings who I was watching, he just never stoped moving, taking care of dirty tables and customers were asking him to take pictures) on the dining floor ! Love the deco and Tv screen, of courwatching FIFA while my family enjoyed their meal. Of course, I went Nigiri all the way, but found my self ordering the SAKE ROLL towards the end of my AYCE experience ! Not common for me to dine in a AYCE establishment, but after my quality meal, the popular lunch price, very nice ladies working the server position, and especially the free ice cream we got to choose from the frozen desert case. (I picked green tea ice cream). Visit this place with an appetite and thank me later 07/06/26 Monday

    Great sashimi options and fish quality. I was surprised they had salmon belly and sweet shrimp. Terrible service. I had to flag the waitress down every time I wanted to order. Several items did not come out so i reordered but they still did not come. After requesting the order several times and waiting 45 minutes, we finally received them.

    Nigiri. Tuna and Salmon

    After my wife and her friends had a excellent dining experience, she wanted to bring us. Unfortunately, we didn't get the same me. In her first experience, she went during the week around 5pm. She says they weren't too busy so food came out in a timely manner and food came out consistently cooked the same way. When we went, it was a Saturday around 6pm. Wait was about 40 min. Staff are very friendly. Unfortunately, our food took a long to come or it never came. In our first order, we ordered a handful of items. Half came in about 10 minutes and the half never came. After 30mins, we followed up a second time and they said it was probably served to a different table by mistake. Most of the food we ordered were good like the sashimi, nigiri, vegetable tempura and hamachi. The hibachi beef was good but when we ordered a second, it was overcooked. The hibachi shrimp was very salty that we couldn't eat it. The vegetable tempura was good and crispy. However, the shrimp tempura was not crispy. The beef fried rice was oily. Considering it's a soft opening, there's definitely room for improvement. Be patient on weekends or if they're really busy. We'll probably come back when they're more settled to see if it's changed.

    assorted nigiri: salmon belly, seared salmon, seared tuna, seared albacore, tuna, and salmon.

    Is it $25.99 for lunch on Saturdays too?

    No, all weekends are the dinner rate, but still a good price.

    Do they take reservations or is it just walk ins?

    Reservations are not required for parties under 6.

    Our party of six decided to head out to Geyserville for River Rock's New Year's Eve prime rib…read morebuffet. The buffet opened at 5:00 so we got in line at 4:45 and we noticed there was quite a line forming. A host called for the VIP people to head to the left and they had a special cashier handling these guests. You pay first and then a server escorts you to a table. They were seating people outside on the covered deck too. The employees said it is quite nice out there with the heaters. Since it was a rainy and cold day, we decided to be seated indoors. The interior is smaller than I expected and they gave us a large table off to the side. The line for the buffet looked long but it moved along. There is an adjacent room where you go for the main menu items (pasta, egg rolls, Asian chicken, soups, rolls, prime rib, chicken piccata, fish, shrimp, salads, etc), and desserts are just outside of this room. The line for the buffet formed straight through the dining room so we were walking right next to tables where guests were eating. I was glad we didn't get seated in this area. The food was surprisingly good. My favorites were the prime rib, cranberry wild rice, and mashed potatoes. Their Caesar salad was really fresh with crisp greens and lots of shaved parmesan. The prime rib carver will ask your preference on how you like your meat cooked. I asked for a small piece but the nice carver is happy to give you larger cuts too. We all agreed that their prime rib was excellent. The employees are all very sweet. They ask for drink orders and they are good about removing your empty dishes. Desserts were okay, but nothing exceptional. We all said if they had soft serve, we would be elated. We all agreed that this dinner was 100% better than the Thanksgiving meal we had in November but the employees were super nice and accommodating both times we were there. Dining area is clean and managed well. The greatest thing is that this place is non-smoking! There is a large multi-level parking garage.

Service is good but the food is just okay. We went for the $28 prime rib dinner special and it felt like the baked potatoes were cooked yesterday and then warmed up. The vegetables were most likely from a frozen bag. The glass of red wine tasted like it was from a bottle that had been opened a few days before - we couldn't finish it. The prime rib was good but we were a bit disappointed with the overall dining experience. It was basically cafeteria food: edible but not memorable.

We sat right next to the bar which made it easy to get into the line for the sashimi. Wednesday is probably the best day to go because the line was relatively small and fast. In fact, we were the first people in line before the actual restaurant opened. We had Yelp reservations but being first in line, they didn't even ask about the reservation. Everyone was friendly and even the customers were friendly too. One older lady walked right in front of the line and said that she went there every Wednesday for 3 years and they know her. It was very clean and being the first people in the restaurant probably made the place even cleaner for us. The sashimi was fresh. Loved the salmon, saba (makeral), hamachi and unagi (eel). We loved the salmon skin rolls too and ordered it twice. The aburi nigiri was good when I added a slice of fresh salmon sashimi on top. You get a big plastic cup of water. Order the appetizers from the waitress (sashimi and rolls are a separate line inside the restaurant in front of the buffet). The sesame balls were tiny and cute. The hamachi collar was small and fresh (husband said it was a bit bland). It's relatively healthy if you like cooked fish. There is no sauce and it's just probably dipped quickly in hot oil to cook. Flash fried. Took about 10 minutes to cook. 40 minutes into the end of our lunch, the waitress brought our check and it was around 63 dollars for lunch after tip and taxes. Best value ever. I liked this much better than the Japanese restaurant I spent almost 100 on lunch in Berkeley recently. Highly recommended!

Some dishes were a little bland and greasy, and unfortunately, the sushi was way too cold almost like it had just come out of the freezer. Definitely not my favorite part. But for the price, it's affordable and gives you plenty of options to nibble, sample, and discover different Chinese dishes without breaking the bank. Would I come back? For those fried crabs and wonton soup... absolutely!

The dessert section is pretty typical of most Chinese and Asian buffets, with the usual cakes, cookies, fruit, and pudding options. One area that could use improvement is the self-serve ice cream station. The flavors tend to mix together, and it doesn't look very appealing. A soft-serve machine would be a great addition and would really elevate the dessert experience. The staff working the dining area were attentive and did a good job clearing plates and checking on guests. The front staff, however, could be a bit more customer-service focused. They seemed very focused on moving the line and managing the crowd rather than creating a welcoming first impression. That said, we were seated fairly quickly, even during a busy time. The restaurant can get packed on weekends, so expect a crowd. We're glad to have a decent buffet option in the area. It offers good variety, reasonable service, and plenty of choices for families and large groups. We'll likely be back when we're in the mood for a buffet.
