Matcha beer was interesting/different. The Matcha latte's - AMAZING. Food and service was 10/10 but 4/5 for atmosphere b/c we weren't able to sit in the upstairs area. Apparently it's reserved for larger private parties. Still overall a great night out with friends and family. read more

Really satisfying meal. There are a lot of good choices in Montrose. I was craving sashimi. First off, the server was so pleasant he should train others in the hospitality industry. He took such pride in his job. He was honest and recommended what he felt was best. I had the BEST sashimi salad i have ever had. Believe me I have been to a lot of places. The cuts of fish that were in my salad were AMAZINGLY fresh. It really blew my mind. I would go again and again when I am craving sushi. I had an amazing specialty cooked roll that was a flavor bomb for sure. This was my first time at Sake and it will not be my last for certain. The outdoor seating area is really nice if you like sitting outdoors. I judge a sushi spot on their sashimi and my salmon and tuna were melting...that's how tender and fresh. This was an incredible sushi spot. They were super generous!!! I will visit again soon. read more

a hidden gem in the area! absolutely amazing sushi, great staff and service, very unique rolls! everything was so good! my favorite rolls were the atomic albacore, yellowtail ponzu, and manhattan roll! i really like the shat lav roll too! super tasty, really cute spot, and very convenient! they also have matcha and matcha beer !!! read more

Sake Sushi Bar and Lounge is a cozy local sushi / Japanese shop in the heart of downtown Montrose. Sake is reliable, reasonably priced, and tasty. This review is for the restaurant aspect of Sake; I understand this location presents more as a trendy lounge during certain times during the week; this review does not address this aspect. Our family came during the busy Montrose Arts Festival, having the Bento Box ($23), complete with spicy tuna, teriyaki salmon, soup, salad, and tempura shrimp, the baked BSCR ($17) and Tokyo Sunset ($19) rolls, and a K5 Paitan Pork Ramen ($14.50). The sushi rich but quite heavy on the mayo and sauce, the bento box varied with the only standout being the salmon teriyaki with a nice crust, and the ramen was a big hit with the kids. We finished with a Raspberry Macaron Ice Cream from the front freezer, which was tangy but frozen quite solid; it would benefit from a few minutes to thaw or the freezer temperature lowered by a few degrees. The inside is fashionable and clean. The staff was friendly and prompt, with our food arriving after 15-20 minutes. Prices are reasonable. Overall, Sake is a reliable and respectable sushi place worth a visit if you're craving Japanese in the Montrose area. Not unique enough to warrant a detour, but a solid, reliable local spot that won't disappoint. Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4/5 read more

Been coming here for a while now. New chef - Huge rolls. Delicious! 1 roll good to share. read more

Tried Sake Sushi in Montrose and really enjoyed it. The fusion rolls were fresh, flavorful, and nicely balanced without feeling too heavy. I also tried their new matcha with cold foam, and it was surprisingly good--smooth, refreshing, and a nice change from the usual drink options. The overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming too. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

Came to have dinner the customer service was great but the food wasn't that good to be honest I had better this place use to be better and now the food quality has gone down a lot and it was a ghost town they need to make better quality food so it's gets busy menu has changed a lot unfortunately read more

Came here on a Thursday night and there was only server working. Alice - the server - was amazing! She was so energetic and quick! She helped out all the tables all with a smile on her face! We got the spicy garlic edamame, which was delicious! Since I'm pregnant, we only ordered the baked rolls! The crunching tiger roll was amazing and so was the Tokyo sunset roll! The "this is how we roll" was okay. The eel wasn't too great. We ended the evening with mochi ice cream! The strawberry and mango were delicious!! Will definitely be back! read more

The menu offers pages of options, so there's something for everyone. I visited during a midweek lunch when it was fairly quiet, but I've been here many times before when the place was packed and lively. Orders come out quickly, and the sushi is always fresh and delicious. Free parking in the back is a big plus. read more

We came here on a whim and this restaurant has since become such a comforting favorite. The food: SO GOOD. I really enjoy the marinated shishito here and the garlic edamame appetizers. Both are super umami and little flavor bombs. All the rolls we've had here are good too and the fish always tastes super fresh. I really like their new special roll called yellowtail delight and my boyfriend likes the honolulu ave roll. The service: OUTSTANDING! We have gotten Alice as our server every time we've come here and she is truly the best. She is so friendly and funny. Me and my bf LOVE her! She also has the best recommendations tailored to what kind of food and sake you like. We've enjoyed everything she's recommended so far and their sake options have all been super tasty! Definitely ask for a recco from her. The other staff that comes by to bring food/waters have also been super kind and attentive. :) Parking: super easy in the area. There's parking everywhere, but it's paid and metered. Definitely be attentive with paying your meter because we've seen parking enforcement going around giving people tickets on this street. Parking payment ends by 8 pm though read more

The Sake Sushi Bar and Restaurant is super . The food is fabulous . The waitress was very friendly and charming . The overall cost (during an afternoon visit around July 26 -2025) is very resonable . The decor and design of the restaurant is very sleek and charming as well as tranquil. Perfect for a date or a lunch with an a associate . I look forward on visiting this terrific place tonight as it is only 14 minutes from South Pasadena . Enjoy ! origato , Bandleader , and L.A. sax artist , Murray M read more

Food is average. We ordered Chicken bento box, poke bowl and two bowls of pork ramen. Service is on time and fine given there is only one waiter for a Sunday mid-afternoon slow low almost no one. Just a handful of tables are occupied. This needs TLC (tender loving carrots I mean care) at this point. Too bad and sad, it's pretty obvious The owner had let it deteriorate. Dilapidated dirty doors and floors. Restrooms were so dismal. No lights. TP was struggling. Dirty counters. The owner or manager should be aware people use the restrooms. If they can't take care of that, I wonder how the kitchen and food preparation are managed. read more

What the heck happened with this place??? The most tasteless sushi I've ever had. Our waiter is trying hard to be friendly but her condensing comments on 3 different occasions were beyond rude! Aside from the unprofessional service, I truly regretted dining here. We ordered the Atomic Albacore (no flavor) and Lobster Mania that's literally just topped with crab and way too much rice! Fried rice was cold and tasted old. No wonder the place was practically empty. Extremely disappointed! read more

Service is quite poor. We ordered via Postmates and had an item missing. Upon calling the restaurant, the woman who answered the phone, Alice, continuously stated that it was the driver's fault, rather than the restaurant's for the missing item. She said she'd call the manager to pull the CCTV footage to prove that she didn't do any wrong, which honestly, I don't think matters. As she said that, she immediately hung up. As a restaurant/customer service oriented business, take accountability and apologize, rather than play a blame game. The bags were tied so tight that we had to rip it open to get our food out... I can't imagine an uber driver not ripping the bag if he really stole it. We ended up going to the restaurant to pick up the order. No manager working conveniently, no other employees. Just Alice. Once again, rather than apologize in the beginning, she continued blaming the driver and said that her manager and the business needs to get paid. But... what about our food? We PAID to get our entire order. It was more excuses than apologies. Even a table inside had to ask where their order is. Alice even admitted to rushing to complete orders for delivery. All in all, the food is good, but the service is poor. No accountability, no immediate solution to our issue, and passing the blame around. Poor experience, but luckily there are other sushi restaurants around with better food and service. read more

We've been here twice now. My hubby remembers the Paitan Ramen he had and wanted to eat this again. I had some of his ramen and I know why he ordered it again. The broth is has so much umami but not too rich. I would order this next time. The ambiance of the restaurant is very chill during lunch time. Love the selection of tunes from Taylor Swift to Mamma Mia. The service is on point. read more

I ate her when I was visiting Oktoberfest. I didn't wanna Broadsworth so I decided to veer off for some sushi. The place was able to seat five adults and four kids quickly which I appreciate. Overall the food wasn't bad but it also wasn't amazing. We got a fire fighter roll, a kids teriyaki chicken and rice and the sesame chicken. The rest of the table ordered shrimp tempura, a Bento box, the tempura udon soup, and three other kids chicken teriyaki. The fire fighter role wasn't very spicy and didn't have much flavor. The kids teriyaki chicken was probably my favorite thing. They forgot to add the tempura shrimp on top of the tempura udon soup. And the sesame chicken was not crispy. I would not go out of my way to go here again but if I was in the area I might stop by one more time to try some different sushi rolls. read more

I think I got the Joy Joy roll (spicy tuna inside baked salmon outside) I enjoyed the taste but it was kind of hard to eat due to the rice falling apart. This can happen with baked rolls but I've had better. The plating was gorgeous and the service was good! Ambiance inside is classy. Over the years I feel that the portions have gotten smaller here. read more

The rolls and poke bowls are sooo good!! It's my second time here and the rolls come out surprisingly fast both times. The rolls I picked were so packed with stuff that it was a yummy mouthful with every piece. I had Salmon Poke bowl and the dressing was delicious on the salad, especially refreshing on a hot day (I'd recommend it to anyone). If you like saucy rolls, the baked ones are yummy too. read more

Sushi is amazingly delicious and well prepared but the service could use some bedside manners. I enjoy their lunch specials knowingly they close at 2 pm. I'm always next door at Spa Pura so I like to grab a bite on my the out, but my last visit was not very welcoming. They clearly didn't want my business based on the server's reaction to my solo entrance at 1:40 pm. I already knew what I wanted and was ready to order immediately after sitting down but was reminded of their closing time and almost rejected from ordering for walking in so late. I was treated like an inconvenience from server and sushi chef as he stated words of disappointment before shutting off lights while I was there along with one other party of guests. I quickly ate, paid and literally left by 2:04 pm but don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. read more

They are back as a go to location. My daughter is off to grad school and wanted sushi as her goodbye meal. Sake was really good, but had really fallen off. However, there has been a management change, and the are better than ever. The sashimi plate was a good price, and tasted SO fresh. The special rolls are very unique They also have some excellent sake cocktails I am so happy that they are as good as ever read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for a long time. The sushi is so good! Last night we had my birthday dinner here with a party of 20 people. Alice was our server and she was so kind and attentive. The service she provides is exceptional, especially to my children. I already loved this restaurant but even more so now because of how great of a server she is. Thank you so much for your exceptional hospitality. It's so much appreciated! read more

It's been our regular place last 8 years , before that on and off between this place and cross the street one. Very dog friendly, excellent service. Great quality and somewhat nice sitting area. Sushi Prices went up drastically just recently due to challenges we all aware of them.bit it is what it is. Again I enjoy the level of service we received here. Recommended . read more

Honestly I am having a hard time putting into words how livid I am with this business. Let's start from the beginning. I had a gathering of 10 people which I wanted to buy take out sushi for on a Saturday evening. I did my due diligence, digging through online pictures of their menu, and got my order ready. And so, knowing that my order will be large and knowing that they may need extra time, I called TWO DAYS AHEAD (Thursday), trying to be considerate of THEM. A lady picks up and tells me to call the next day (Friday). She says they may be busy in the evening so try to call during the day. Ok got it! No problem. I call back the next day at 1:00PM, exactly as I have been told. Another lady picks up. She seems confused and says I can't take your order, she tells me to call at open at 11:30AM the next day. I ask, "Are you sure? The First Lady I spoke to last night said to call today (Friday)." She gives me a non-answer and just convinces me everything will be ok if I call at 11:30AM on the day of. Ok, I do exactly that. I start calling starting exactly at 11:30AM. No answer. I wait a few minutes, try again. NO ANSWER. I try calling back EVERY 5 MINUTES FOR THE NEXT HOUR AND A HALF!! NOT ONE ANSWER!! It is now 1:01PM as I write this. I have wasted hours calling this place. NO ONE IS PICKING UP! I am absolutely livid that I took so much time out of my life and I even tried calling them 2 days early out of consideration for them and for the workers and they can't even answer the phone to take my order?? After I told them I would be placing this order beforehand!? I had my order all ready, it would have taken 1 minute TOPS to take my order. I literally had to cancel my plans for the afternoon because of this. Missed an event entirely that I was so looking forward to. THIS is exactly what I wanted to avoid by calling in my order a day (or 2) ahead of time! So I don't have to panic and scramble around for PLAN B! But no, lazy workers who answered the phone couldn't be bothered to take my order. They kept telling me to call back. Not only did this place lose out on a very large order for today, they have lost me as a customer forever. I guess I'll just have to go across the street to Blue Fish from now on. At least they answer their phones and respect their hours posted online! read more

Sake Sushi Bar and Lounge - These people would NOT answer their phone! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Montrose, California

I've been eating here for around a decade. It's been a roller coaster of adventures both good and bad. They finally brought back cocktails for summer so I told the wife and we are excited to give our OG sushi place a shot after somewhat of a lengthy hiatus due to past issues with quality and staff. The sushi rolls are good and not fishy like before. We got the Montrose roll and another with Jalapeños. Filling and delicious. The cocktails use soju and are refreshing. I miss the lychee martini but hey I'll take what I can get. I prefer staying in my montrose community and I'm happy to add this place back In the rotation. read more

Great service. The waitress and owner were very attentive and sushi hit the spot. Will return for sure.

Ordered a sashimi salad and a few rolls as a to-go order, came home to discover that my sashimi salad was filled with octopus. At first I thought I read the description wrong, so I checked it again and saw that no where in their sashimi salad description does it mention octopus. I don't eat octopus and would have never ordered it had it come with octopus. So I drive back to return the food, because they've stopped answering their phone at 2pm, and luckily I was able to get in touch with the hostess. I explained to her the problem and she said that they have a different chef working today (as if that should matter). As for my rolls, as soon as I sat down to eat those, I saw a tiny little red spider moving around in the container the rolls were. I immediately lost my appetite. Needless to say, I'm never going back. read more

You guys... this place used to be amazing 8 years ago... we would come once a week with friends for years. We came back recently and they've changed ownership and it's just not the same.... Portions are smaller, doesn't taste the same...prices have gone up... but for the same price sushi, I would rather go to sakura or yuzu and pay a little more and have great quality sushi. read more

Honestly Sake is not bad, but I've had better in town. The sushi is slightly on the pricier end, but its still good! The servers were nice enough to redo our order for another roll, because it wasn't hot. Parking is abundant behind the restaurant and inside spacing is good for families! read more

My sushi was perfect , very happy with the sushi and sushi roll I ordered . However, the Crunch Onion Seared Albacore Jungle was a disappointment for me . The price of $22 just doesn't justify what you get . The albacore tasted good , but the slices were very thin . Almost wafer thin . I would not order this item again unless they thicken up the slices in the future . read more
