We got sat right away and the service was great! Some of the food came out all at different times, but was never lacking in the flavor. The owner was super present and even remembered us from the last time we came in, knowing how many times we have been there! Definitely recommend read more

Sake Sushi was fantastic! The place is kind of small but so cute, I loved the lights they had all over the place. I got sake and sushi, and both were great. The sake flight has 5 flavors and I would have to say mango definitely was the best. For sushi, the rolls were perfectly tasty without being too heavy, and they didn't fall apart which is always a plus. Our waitress was super sweet and offered a free birthday dessert as well! This was a great experience and I definitely will be back! read more

This place was decent sushi at an okay price until they gave me food poisoning. I can't trust them anymore.

Tucked away and surprisingly chill, Sake Sushi is one of those spots that just hits the mark when you're craving good sushi without the chaos. I dined in and tried the spring rolls and scallop sushi -- the spring rolls were light, crispy, and packed with flavor (definitely a must-try). The scallop sushi was fresh and clean-tasting, exactly what you want from a good sushi bar. The service was laid-back but attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect -- quiet, intimate, and depending on where you sit, it gives total date night energy. You can actually hear the person you're with, which is always a plus! Overall, Sake Sushi is a solid spot for when you want a calm, cozy dining experience with quality sushi and friendly vibes. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their rolls next time. read more

Sake sushi is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in the area! So many great sushi options but also great Korean dish options as well. I recently ventured out from sushi to try the Daenjang Chike, which was a delicious soup with tofu, brisket, potato and mixed veggies. I've truly been thinking about it often since I had it! Everything is fairly priced, especially compared to neighboring sushi restaurants. In addition to their wonderful food, the servers are all very kind and attentive. They always decorate for the holidays, especially Halloween! Eating dinner in there is a nice vibe because it's dimly lit and makes you feel like you're in a fancy restaurant. read more

Came back to see if it really was an experience I can have on a regular basis. Sadly not this time sushi was dry gnats flying around and waiter coughing right by tables . Ambiance needed cleaning table and lamp looked like it hadn't been wiped down in days. Probably won't be returning. read more

The atmosphere is quiet and quaint, perfect for a casual date night spot! We ordered the vegetable tempura appetizer which was so yummy and came with a delicious sweet ginger sauce. The sushi was very good, I would just share caution for the firecracker roll which definitely lives up to its name, so just make sure you are okay with a lot of spice! The double shrimp and rainbow rolls were my favorite! Our server (I wish I would've gotten her name), was incredibly kind and welcoming. At the end, she asked for our names and thanked us individually for coming in. That extra thought was so appreciated and I would definitely come back to try the other entree options! read more

First of all the hostess/waitress was fantastic with us! Love that kind of service! One of my dearest friends and I decided to try this place today. Small industrial feel to the place. I ordered two rolls, Michigan and Yum Yum. Both were excellent and I especially enjoyed the Michigan roll. My friend had the sashimi combo and was very satisfied with the overall quality and flavor of the dish. I go back. read more

Tried out Sake Sushi recently and enjoyed my visit there. Plenty of seating indoors along with outdoor seating too. Waitress, Annie I believe?, was extremely helpful and kind. Service was fantastic. Unfortunately forgot to take pictures this time around, but I enjoyed my sushi and Korean soup dish. My friend ordered a rice dish that had very large portions. Who doesn't love large portions! They have a pretty large menu too, so I do plan to pay them another visit. I would recommend if you are in the downtown Royal oak area! read more

Our waitress was so friendly! They claimed to have the best sushi in RO and I appreciate the knowledge, but I felt like the sushi was so rushed, it fell apart very easily. The ambiance is definitely much more laid back. It was dark like a pub, and had bare floors and spare tables, which was actually pretty nice. Overall, I'd come back simply to try more of their 'award winning sushi', but I wasn't won-over in general? read more

This restaurant is a very unassuming Japanese and Korean restaurant. The Sake flight was very tasty! The atmosphere was super casual and the price is well worth it. The service is good especially when it's super busy and packed for this place. The Salmon teriyaki, chef's sushi platter and beef bulgogi was very very good!!! And the portions were big! So much so that we couldn't even tried to look at dessert! Well worth the visit! read more

Also very fresh sushi, have been to many places in the area and continue to be pleasantly surprised and coming back to sake.

I loved the atmosphere. It's kind of kitschy honestly in the best way. It's cozy and clean with quick, kind service. I had two pieces of salmon nigiri and Daenjang Chike soup. Nigiri came out first and was perfect. Warm rice, room temp fish, buttery texture with a little give. Large pieces of salmon, had to bite one in half. I had never had Daenjang Chike and it had beef brisket in it. Beef was not fatty and it was tender and shreddy. It wasn't marked on the menu as spicy but it definitely had a bite, I think I could see the sprinkles of gochugaru along the edges of the bowl. Yum. It arrived at my table literally boiling and I loved that, so cozy. Took my time eating it, got a spoon full of rice that came on the side and dipped the spoon for broth/rice bite. It warmed me from the inside out! Perfectly salty, acidic, spicy, and savory. Veggies were zucchini, onion, and potato. Everything was perfect, thank you Sake Sushi, I'll be back for Sake! read more

This restaurant was completely empty so we got seated immediately. This was on a Monday evening about 6 PM, and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. The food prices are very good and I don't believe the waitress got our complete order right but the food came out quickly so things she forgot. We just had her go have them make it and it was good. read more

UPD: since there is no option to respond to the restaurant's representative's response - I will write here. Please re-read my initial text attentively. DoorDash denied their mistake, my claim and closed the case. My relationship with DoorDash is broken and beyond repair but it has nothing to do with the experience of therestaurant. It has been a frustrating experience all in all. The conversation via phone with several staff members and sore aftertaste (I do not meanfood). No need for any reimbursement at this point, it's not about the money at the end. And to be fair, the food (the part of it which made its way) was not bad at all. I liked it. read more

I am unbelievably saddened that I have to write this post. Today, while at Saki sushi with my partner and one year-old daughter, I was racially profiled and discriminated against the second I walked in the door. First, I was told that I could not sit in the outdoor seating area because they were short staffed, only to see people seated out there after I was told I cannot. When I asked why, I was told that only "regular" customers could sit in the outdoor seating area. I wasn't 100% sure what that meant. Moreover, when the bill came, I was notified that gratuity was added in. I didn't think anything of it, however, something just felt a little "off" about the way she pointed it out to me. Two Caucasian young ladies sit at the table across from me and also just received their bill. I inquired to see if they were charged auto gratuity as well, and was shocked to learn that they were not charged auto gratuity. While this was off-putting to me, the two young ladies thought that it was "gross and completely ridiculous" that they would charge automatic gratuity and not them. When the server came back over and I asked why did this happen, she explained that that is their policy for "new"customers. That is even more weird because I have been to this place before. Later, I asked her would it happen to be because I was black, she responded, "No, because I am Asian." I guess that was supposed to make me feel better? I don't know. Then she insisted that she will take off the gratuity even after I said it was fine. This let's me know that she knew what she did was wrong and that this is a normal practice at Sake Sushi: "Charge Black people automatic gratuity and also don't let them sit outside for fear that they may run off on the bill." For context, I am an advocate for small business in Metro Detroit, but I can't stand and let racism be so blatant and not speak up about it. Not only was this a form of discrimination, but it's completely illegal. read more

Came here for the first time for a friend's birthday. My husband ordered this spicy beef udon and it came 35 min after the rest of us got our food... We were the one that had to flag down the server to tell them about the missing food .. only then were we told they accidentally served this to another table and had to remake a new one. Too bad the dish was filled mainly with mushrooms and Korean fernbrake, and not a lot of noodles... server seemed surprised we didn't want to take it to go after seeing how he barely touched his food. Husband does not like mushroom and it was not listed on the menu, so he did not enjoy his meal. read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 9:00pm. There were empty tables but didn't get greeted/seated until 20 minutes later. It seems like they are understaffed and the waiter took a while to take our order. I got the Yookkejang and Mandu Soup. The yookkejang had absolutely no flavor. It literally tasted like water with a hint of spice. The Mandu soup was really good, the broth was flavorful and the dumpling itself was sweet and juicy. The portion size here is also really good and the price here is super reasonable. Would come back to try their other dishes. Good place for date nights or a simple night out with friends. read more

So this was my Spicy Shrimp and Chicken dolsot BIBIMBAP!!! BIBIMBAP?!!! (Screaming ) Ordered this as it is in the menu, and i myself am a big fan of bibimbap, i never seen such bibimbap like this. What i mean, normally they have banchans and different toppings on top of it, but mine came out like this. It was less appetizing looking and same with the flavor. I was expecting nothing more or extravagant, but food for me is life- makes me happy. I believe that Bibimbap has colorful cultural representation with beautiful story underlying on this dish, however this one was like cooked in "hibachi" style and just topped it on the rice. I was totally shocked and surprised. Again, since this was my first time having this kind of style of bibimbap out of thousand of times i had before, I am not sure why they have this in their menu if they cant live by the principle of bibimbap (banchans, other condiments, etc). On top of this kind of presentation you get, it is not worth it for the price itself. read more

Sake Sishi, Very disappointing for two reasons: One, communication over the phone is very hard, because much of the staff can't speak English, and two, the Sushi Rolls are not very good. Let me start by my sushi experience....both my sister, and her kids decided to give Sake Sushi a try. Since I am a veteran of the Sushi culture, I was hesitant to order at this place. My sister had to leave my place, because she was on call. When she put in her order, over the phone, we both made it painfully evident that our sushi would be in separate bags. One for her, and her family, and one for me! Unfortunately, Sake Sushi found a way to screw the entire order up! Not only did they ignore our instructions, but they found a way to switch out orders! I ended up with a large order that was supposed to be for my sisters family, and she did NOT even get the Oushi roll I ordered! Side note...did a 10.99 roll, it was extremely small! ....in other words...rip off central! Long story short. When I called to complain about what happened. They did not even want to give me a free roll! I actually had to ask them, due to their negligence! As a result, the manager told me he would make another roll for me, for free. I told him that o would give this place another chance. When I came in for the free roll they are FedEx me, I had to wait 30 minutes! It literally took 16 minutes did a person to meet me at the counter! This is ridiculous! I ordered the roll in advance, 1 hour before! How could I have waited an extra 30 minutes? I honestly think this place will close up n the next 2 years! ....awful awful service and mediocre food are indications that this place is a goner! read more

Sake Sushi is a great place! It's quaint and cozy with a modern flare. During summer months they have a patio to dine at. But I opted to eat inside. It was my first visit here and everything I had was a 1st. I adored it. The food, drinks and service were fantastic! They had different flavors of saki, which I'd never seen before. My libation of choice was pineapple saki, for an appetizer I had the veggie gyoza, and my entree was the salmon pizza roll. Everything was both flavorful and fresh. My only complaint is that my appetizer and meal came out at the same time. But it's a must try! My server Joice was sweet and attentive as well. read more
