Strolling through Royal oak and this spot caught our eye. We didn't order food but the jars of sake proved to be irresistible. They offer flights!! We sampled Cherry, Ginger, Pineapple, Blueberry and Sangria. My fav was the Ginger, my companion loved the Pineapple. Def recommend stopping by for a drink! read more

I can't believe I haven't rated the spot until now. We've had take out from here before and have enjoyed their outside patio before and all of our experiences have been fantastic. We ordered take out the other night because... Covid. We decided to order three rolls and an appetizer. We started off with the beef gyoza and they were extremely flavorful and definitely homemade. I'm not normally a fan of deep-fried gyoza but I will definitely make an exception for these in the future they were delicious. For our rolls we ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll. Everything you'd expect from a spicy tuna roll, I will note it tasted very fresh and had a great flavor. We also ordered the Super Crunch Roll. This flavor combination was really delicious, nice and rich from the sauces with awesome crispiness from the tempura shrimp. I would definitely order this roll again and again. Next up the Michigan Roll, jalapenos on the side. I could not stop eating this roll, in my opinion it is very spicy but the flavor is so epic I could not quit eating it. I ordered the jalapenos on the side because my husband isn't normally a spicy person, good thing I did! Even he couldn't turn away a couple pieces of this role because the flavor was just incredible. I personally did not even need the jalapenos on the side but if you really like hot stuff it would add a perfect crunch to the top. In terms of a takeout experience and sanitation for covid, I would give them a 10/10. The ordering process was extremely easy, the estimated time was spot on and they had a very convenient pickup station located at the front of the restaurant. Give this place a try I'm astounded that it only has three and a half stars right now. It's pretty awesome and the rolls are huge! read more

Sake Sushi - Amazing sushi! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

This restaurant has a really large menu, with a lot of Japanese and Korean dishes you can't find in Royal Oak. The sushi was great, shu maj was outstanding, and the dolsot bibimbap was one of the best I've ever had. Our server Annie was very friendly and everything was served quickly. Really happy to find a place like this in the area, and would definitely return! read more

Sake Sushi - Spicy Chicken and Shrimp Dolsot Bibimbab - Sushi Bars Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

My bf and I are new in town and stumbled across this place while exploring the neighborhood. The food was fresh and amazing in all! We seemed to have been the only ones dining in so our service was on point, like incredibly on point. Our server, Annie, was a delight. She knew the menu front to back and spoke so proudly of her family owned business and even learned our names to use throughout the time there. read more

Food: Delicious. I was very pleased with the quality and taste of my order. I was hangry and nervous to try something new and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Baked Lobster Roll, Kimchi Chike and Ginseng sake. My order came to about $40 pretip. Baked lobster - was standard (not in a bad way). I added an order of bomb sauce to add some kick to my roll and I'm so glad I did. The bomb sauce is noms. I would come back just for that alone. Kimchi Chike - my first time having Kimchi Chike, it's basically a spicy soup with kimchi and pork (more on this later). The spicy level was satisfying (of course this is objective. I'd say I have a medium level of tolerance for spice. If you have low level, this may be too spicy, if you have a high level of tolerance for spice, this may seem like low spice to you). For me, it opened my pores though I did not sweat. Ginseng sake - also my first time ordering Not bad on flavor, light, very smooth, no atrocious after taste (again, subjective). The ginseng is 1 of the flight of 5. (Blueberry, Ginseng, Pineapple, Cherry, and Sangria). I wanted to try the Pineapple, which is also the most popular choice according to server Danny, but I could not try due to an allergy. Would be interested in trying other flavors before ordering the Ginseng again. Ambiance - it is a small place, quaint, decorated with cute Japanese and Korean decor. It has about 11 tables with about 6 small booths. It looks like they may have had more seating options Pre-COVID. I took the best pics that I could without being a creeper to the others who were also dinning in. The temperature was nice and toasty (the sake could have also aided in this ). The tables were set up to be used in a COVID appropriate setting (every other table). The music was on the chill side. During most of my lunch they were playing Kem and as a fan of Neo Soul I greatly appreciated this. The T.V. behind the bar had on a hilarious game show with subtitles which was also enjoyable. Check it out if you've never seen a Japanese or Korean game show. No wifi (that I could see on my laptop, and I didn't bother asking). Customer Service - only one server so a tad bit slow (in comparison to what Americans like...yes, I am American ), but I was in no rush and had no place to go and did not mind. My food came out in a decent amount of time for me and what I ordered. Danny was very nice and accommodating. The initial table he sat me at was next to the wine cooler and a little rocky so I requested to move and he allowed me to choose my new table, no problem. Keep in mind this is on a slow Sunday afternoon with not many other diners. My Kimchi Chike was supposed to have pork in it and when I inquired about it, Danny checked into it and offered to remake the dish. I opted for them to add the pork in instead. When the pork was ready, he offered to take my bowl to add the pork and then rewarm my meal. By that time I had continued to eat and was full so I had him wrap it up. Instead of wrapping up my old rice, he gave me a fresh one and apologized a few times. He was very polite. Overall would recommend and would come again. Their menu is pretty sizable with the Japanese and Korean options so there's so much more to try! read more

My sister and I love this place! The food is great and so is the service. I got there 45 minutes before my party (ugh, sisters), and my server was SO understanding and accommodating. She remembered my name from my ID check and we chatted when she had the time. I have an allergy to shellfish and nuts and she recalled the information multiple times while I was there. This is not common practice but it made me feel very safe throughout our courses that there wouldn't be cross contamination. She really loves this place and I like it even more after experiencing her service. A lot of restaurants are struggling right now to create a great experience because of lack of staff so when I had a fantastic experience here (this is RARE) I knew I had to write a review. I absentmindedly only tipped a little over 20% but wish I would've given more. Can't wait to come back! read more

I don't understand why this place doesn't have better reviews! Eaten here three times, always had great food and great service! My partner and I usually each get a ramen or udon bowl each and split some sushi! My partner loves the spicy beef ramen and gets it every time. I enjoyed the spicy beef as well. I branched out and got the vegetable Sansai udon and it was filled with yummy vegetables, the noodles were perfect, and may favorite part is that is wasn't too salty! I love the well seasoned salad they serve before the meal comes. It's so freaking tasty. We got the Sunday morning roll to split and it was also delicious. Heard great things about the lobster roll and can't wait to try it next time. Green tea and Korean pear honey tea were delicious as well! Tea seems like a small thing, but I especially loved the unique flavor of the honey pear! Always a large amount of tea to enjoy with the whole meal as well. We'll definitely keep coming back :) read more

This place has a great menu and great potential. Their sign isn't great, it's large but the font is small and off to the side so it's hard to attract people to come eat there. Service also isn't the best. My boyfriend and I ordered three rolls and our server didn't even tell us which one was which and when we asked he gave us the vibe that we were bothering him to ask such a question. We bought a bottle of wine so you would assume that with three rolls, soup salad and wine the server would want to earn our 20% tip....I think if this restaurant improves their customer service and change their sign they will do much better. read more

i loved sake sushi so much!! the prices are incredibly fair and the quality is great. miso soup was a bit flavorless and the waiter could have checked on us more. All of the rolls are so unique and there is something for everyone. i want to come back to try the korean food too!! read more

My hubby and I ordered the kimchi jjigae, which I may regret since it's 56 outside, but was craving it once I saw it on the menu. Love Korean owned Japanese restaurants, since they usually offer some traditional or mainstay style Korean dishes too, which is always a bonus to have the option at a Japanese restaurant. 3 Cali rolls, 2 with crab and one with shrimp and a lobster baked socials roll and a salad with the sesame dressing, do have ginger dressing, if desired and available. The owner came to ask and talk to us about the kimchi jjigae and what all is in it, seemed like an easy going, accommodating and friendly. The owner brought out some spicy sauce for my husband to try since we requested sriracha for our rolls. The sauce is spicy. The owner has the spicy on hand for hot heads like my husband, who loves all things super spicy. The owner told my husband where to buy the hit sauce and brought out the bottle for us to see the label. The kimchi jjigae is good, spicy too. The kimchi they make here is a bit on the spicy side, but good. The baked lobster roll was so absolutely and unabashedly tasty. I could eat an entire meal of these delicately and delectable lobster rolls. My husband enjoyed both his shrimp and crab Cali rolls. Our total was $42.35. We ordered 2 sides of sriracha and were charged $0.50 for the extra one. Our waiter was attentive and on top of things and nice to boot. The owner is super cool and nice. It was an overall tasty experience. Back again, had to get the baked lobster roll. My hubby got the chicken dolsot bibimbap and I got the salmon teriyaki tonight. The chicken dolsot bibimbap, baked lobster roll and salmon teriyaki are all good here. read more

We were in royal oak for the evening and walked by this place, sushi sounded good so we stopped in. Overall we had a good experience. They had a good variety of sushi to choose from. I ordered a sushi regular which was 8 Chefs choice Nigiri and a tuna roll. I thought it tasted great. Rice was cooked perfect and the chef really gave a good variety. I also ordered a rainbow roll which was also great with a good variety of fish. My wife ordered a California roll and the beef teriyaki. She said the beef was seasoned good. Our server was very nice. We came in close to closing, but he was still very attentive to our table. Stayed on top of our water and made sure the food was good for us. There was one employee towards the front of the business who was being quite loud about financials. How much he did for the day and how much he was owed by the business owner. I know it was close to closing time, but I felt that was very unprofessional and really created an environment for an opportunistic crime if the wrong people heard him. Other than that I really enjoyed Sake Sushi and I would make a return visit if I am in the area and looking for some sushi. read more

I absolutely love sushi and was super excited to try Sake Sushi! I went with a girlfriend. I ordered sushi and she ordered off the menu (none sushi items). Our waitress never mentioned anything about a backup or things coming out a different times. I got my sushi at least a half hour after my friend got her food. The communication from our waitress was horrible. She hardly came to check in on us. I had to seek out another wait staff to ask where my food was. That's when they said sushi and the kitchen come out at different times. They never once communicated anything about how long the food was going to take. Even after asking and knowing the food was slow, the waitress didn't check on us. Once I finally got my food, it was very yummy. I hope this restaurant figures out the kitchen and sushi issue or can at least have the decency to communicate this to their customers. Very disappointing! read more

I had the Crazy Girl and the Lobster Roll with spicy mayo. They were awesome!!! Great service!! Highly recommended!!!

Hands down, this is the best sushi in metro detroit. Brother in law suggested it. Their sushi is so well done. And their ramen is incredible. You can tell they spend alot of time making the broth to perfection. I had the spicy chicken ramen, and it tasted like a spin on grandmas chicken soup. I met the owner and she said the make the broth from whole chicken and simmer it half the day to get the rich flavor. I'm so blown away that this place only has 3.5 stars. So damn good. read more

Finally went in after a year of curiosity. Service was lacking but I will give them a pass since it is hard to get workers. We sat outside but did not feel like the cleanest establishment indoors. We order the Michigan roll, it definitely has a kick even without the jalapeño. It was good but on the small side. Will give it one more try for the Korean fare but not for sushi. read more

Sake Sushi - Michigan Roll - Spicy and on the small side - Sushi Bars Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Our first time dining here was wonderful! Love the relaxed dining vibe, not overdone. The focus is on the food and service. Our food was executed perfectly! They were more than accommodating to my Celiac disease, which can be a pain...I know. :/ Our server, Annie was kind, knowledgeable about the menu, and on-point with service. I think she may have been the only server while we were there, but made holding down a full room seem effortless (which I know for a fact it is not). I cannot wait to go back! I had the seaweed salad and wasabi roll-which is GF without wasabi (theirs contains gluten). It wasn't missed, the spicy mayo drizzle on top more than makes up for the lack of wasabi, imo. They also offered GF soy sauce. Both the roll and salad were amazing. Thank you so much for the accommodations, Sake Sushi! read more

I had a craving during the COVID-19 crisis. After I picked up my food, I looked and thought there was more food than I had actually ordered. I said something to the woman and she said "no it's fine." They had given me two salads and a soup I hadn't ordered with my order, which I though was pretty cool. The sushi itself was top notch as well. I very much enjoyed it. read more

Delicious food and great vegetarian options! The customer service was excellent, and we will be going back!

I have never been more impressed and absolutely blown away by the takeout at Sake. The food was on time and upon arrival our food was nicely organized, packed perfectly, and the waitress on staff was social distancing to perfection. When we got home with our food our sushi rolls were packed in a beautiful display. Not only was everything included that we had ordered but the waitress had gone above and beyond to make sure our entire experience was perfect. I have been going to Sake for the past two years in person and they did not skip a beat during social distancing requirements. I highly recommend any sushi roll from Sake! read more

Sake Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

We were craving a good bento box and most of the Korean places in our area are not there anymore. I work in downtown Royal Oak and have heard that Sake Sushi has great food. My friend was skeptical but agreed to give it a try. I so agree with the other reviewer that I do not understand how this restaurant has only a 3.5 star rating, they deserve much more! Our expectations were more than met, and the service was impeccable! (Thank you Annie!) My carnivore friend ordered the vegetable gyoza and loved it! But he was more than meat happy with his Beef Bulgogi bento box. We can't wait to go back soon and try some of their other specialty dishes and sushi. The portions are very generous, just ate some leftovers. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more
