Food came out exceptionally fast, even when I came in 30 min before kitchen closed. Quality of the fish and rolls are alright at best. I'm not familiar with the AYCE sushi scene in the bay area, but I wasn't blown away by the food, it was just okay sushi. read more

Look, for 40$ ayce you can't really complain. It's solid for what it is. My curiosity got the best of me and I needed to know if it had the same quality as the one in SoCal. I can definitively say... it does not have the same quality. Still glad to have tried it(: They give you big pieces of sashimi with very little rice - so amazing. The salmon was better than the tuna options overall in terms of freshness. The service is good and food comes out fairly quickly. Again, super solid for ayce! read more

I visited this place after a friend recommended it to me, and for around $40 per person, I think it's a pretty good deal, especially compared to if you ordered everything à la carte. We tried a variety of items including nigiri, appetizers, and grilled dishes. The appetizers came out fresh, hot, and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the Ika Geso. The nigiri was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. The fish wasn't overly fishy and the fish-to-rice ratio was fair, but I do think the quality of the fish could have been better. I found myself getting full and slowing down earlier than usual because the sushi just didn't stand out enough to keep me going. Ordering is done by filling out rounds on a sheet of paper and handing it to the server. Service was quick and attentive, the staff always seemed to know when we were ready for another round, dishes were cleared quickly, and our drinks were consistently refilled. The restaurant itself was clean and spacious, with seating options for both small and large groups. Overall, I'd recommend this spot if you're looking for AYCE sushi at a reasonable price. The quality may not be the absolute best, but it's a solid option that offers good value for the price. read more

Pros: - Great food! AYCE is great value with awesome rice to fish ratio with a lot of extras included (sushi taco, spicy tuna rice ball, edamame, and miso soup to name a few) - Priced very fairly especially for lunch. Definitely recommend the premium menu as there are great one time selections - Lots of seating with TVs playing Kpop. Not a place for peace and quiet, but it is a sushi joint so i don't expect it be Cons: - Rolls are extremely big (usually 12 pieces), so I would tread lightly when doing the all you can eat - Service was great during weekday lunch, but i heard stories of the rounds after the first being a bit slower so I would do bulk of the ordering in the first round - Premium items are limited to 1 order per person and rotate often so if you have a favorite you might not see it in the menu again. Definitely worth ordering as the premium items are usually the best! Overall - this place is great in terms of value and food so I would definitely return! read more

I have been here so many times by now and I'm shocked I've never left a review. The food is so fresh and delicious and the service is very fast and they are very nice people. We are always very happy to eat here because we feel like we get our moneys worth. I love the dragon roll. Their appetizers are pretty good too and all of the portion sizes are very good. There's not really a huge wait whenever we come and parking is super easy in the plaza. Then we can get I tea next door for dessert haha. My husband absolutely loves all the Nigiri. read more

First time trying this restaurant and we opted for premium menu so we can order nigiri. There are lots of seating inside but it's a small restaurant so it's very cramped. We had a party of 8 adults and got the two tables side by side so it was very long. No one came to remove old plates from the inside end of the table so it got cramped quickly, and the first end had to basically pass our orders down the entire length. Also it took a while to get our food. The nigiri was alright. The best was the salmon belly. I was hoping to try the yellowtail but I'm pretty sure they gave us albacore. It has a really fatty aftertaste to it. The other side of our table ordered yellow tail and it looked way different. The tuna was my least favorite, it was so fishy! And also could've skipped the carpaccio. The signature rolls were decent. More tuna leaning though. Couldn't find a decent signature salmon roll. I will not be coming back. I think their menu has a good variety but quality is not there. Also check your bill because they charged us 9 adults when we had 8 + 1 toddler. read more

This place truly lives up to their balanced rice-to-fish ratio promise! Came here with 15 people to celebrate a friend's birthday and immediately, I appreciate their lenient, online reservation system. There's no deposit required and I was able to change the headcount multiple times with no issues. It was busy and full when we came at 6 PM on Friday evening but they cleared just enough space for our party. We were shocked from the moment the food arrived on our table. It was aesthetic and different from other sushi places that give too much rice in each portion. This place is definitely worth for AYCE! Premium is for sure the best option, allowing you to order both the front and back side menu items. Everything was delicious and we felt that it was worth the price. read more

*Visited with a party of 3 around 4:30pm on a Friday This was my 2nd time visiting Sake2Me and this is definitely one of my favorite spots for AYCE sushi- especially it being $40 per person. The restaurant is a fairly decent size- though I believe they are pretty accommodating to larger parties. Their service has definitely improved and their staff is very kind & attentive. OKAY THE FOOD: * Definitely do the 2nd tier (red line) as you have plenty of more options- especially if you love nigiri! * Nigiri - they have a smaller ratio of sashimi slice to rice here, and honestly it's great for AYCE since you're able to eat a lot more nigiri. Keep in mind that each nigiri order comes with 2 pieces :) I am a BIG fan of their unagi, salmon belly, and their salmon & avocado nigiris. * Unagi handroll- you know, I still think about it and it's been 3 days since I've had it. It wasn't stuffed with rice and had a decent amount of veggies that compliment the unagi. I definitely would come back to try more of their handrolls * Special Rolls- we were able to have a few of their rolls (raw & baked) and they were all super yummy. read more

Came here with some friends to celebrate my birthday, and let me just say--why does ordering feel like I'm taking a sushi test? LOL. This is where AYCE sushi either passes or fails. We came around 3pm for an early dinner/late lunch, which ended up being perfect. By around 5pm, it started getting busier, so we definitely came at the right time. We stayed for almost 2 hours and pretty much had the place to ourselves, with only about two other tables. It was nice being able to sit, chat, and actually enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. The tempura was a highlight--crispy, lightly battered, and super delicious. We ordered two shrimp tempura and one veggie tempura (no surprise eggplant, thankfully lol). The shishito peppers had that fun random spice--some mild, some with a kick, but all really good. And you can never go wrong with edamame, perfectly salted. I honestly can't remember all the rolls we ordered but I know we got the signature Sake2Me roll, plus shrimp tempura, snow salmon, rainbow, kiss of fire, orange blossom, along with a mix of nigiri and other rolls. There were five of us, so it felt overwhelming at first, but since we weren't rushed out, we were able to enjoy everything at our own pace. Service was great--our server was attentive and friendly. All the rolls came out really quickly... maybe a little too quickly. We definitely should've paced ourselves better, but we were ordering with our stomachs, not our brains. Overall, this spot passes the test--no retakes needed. read more

Sake2Me was my friend group's go-to AYCE sushi spot in Orange County, and when I heard they were opening a location in Fremont, I was ecstatic! This restaurant is located in the Pacific Commons plaza and there is plenty of parking. Since they've opened, I've been to the Fremont location 3 times and they have not disappointed! The fish-to-rice ratio on the nigiri is perfect for not filling your stomach up too fast, and the service has always been quick and accommodating. All of the fish is fresh (or as fresh as AYCE sushi can be, obviously we're not comparing this to omakase-grade sushi) and I always leave feeling quite satisfied with the value and quality of each meal. I usually try to come in on a weekday lunch to take advantage of the value pricing, and their basic menu is pretty extensive so it always does the job! I have never upgraded to the premium menu and still have everything I would want and more. Overall, one of the better AYCE sushi establishments in my opinion, and bonus points for the convenient location! read more

Came in 30 minutes before closing and really didn't have time to view the menu so we ordered a rainbow roll. Based on that one roll, I would come back again. It was a good size and flavorful and fresh quality. We also ordered Kirin in a bottle since they don't have beers on tap. The ambience looks more like a mom/pop place rather than a fancy sushi restaurant. The staff was closing up and cleaning as we were finishing which made us feel rushed. Will have to try it again when we have more time to eat. read more

I tend to keep the expectation low when it comes to AYCE sushi just because places tend to load up the rolls with rice, but I was pleasantly surprised by Sake2Me. They have a good variety from rolls to nigiri to apps which makes it perfect for groups. The fish quality was actually pretty good, I loved the salmon and yellowtail nigiri's. Our fave rolls were the Vivi and kiss of fire. The rolls are well constructed and drizzled with lots of sauce, and we enjoyed all the different flavor combinations. The sushi taco apps were surprisingly good too. Overall I don't think I tried anything that I didn't enjoy. The staff were attentive when it came to taking our orders and checking up on us, although, rolls took a bit longer to come out. But well worth the wait. I recommend making a reservation via Yelp. Overall super painless and enjoyable experience. read more

Sake2Me Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Fremont, California

Came here for lunch AYCE, which turned out to be a good value. The premium option allows nigris, which gave a very appropriate amount of rice (less rice compared to other AYCE establishments). The server was very attentive to our needs and quickly got our menu requests. The ambiance is more suited for very casual events; the music is somewhat loud and played remixed English covers, but the TV screens were all playing KPOP live performances. Would definitely recommended for lunch AYCE! read more

My friends, 6 of us, decided to check out Sake2Me again for lunch. Unfortunately didn't make the cutoff for lunch prices which ended at 2 PM, but the difference was only $5 which wasn't too big of a deal. Service was definitely slower than what we experienced in the past, even when we came with a party of the same size, and we were able to get in 2 rounds of Nigiri which was more than enough considering we maxed out our Nigiri orders everytime. Unfortunately and this might be TMI, but 3 of us got diarrhea after eating the food for the rest of the day. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt because this hasn't happened before, but to me, it's extremely important for a restaurant serving raw fish to ensure that this DOESN'T ever happen to its customers. I always feel like their fish quality is great but it seems like this time, something was off. This used to be my favorite AYCE sushi spot in the bay but after this experience, I may have to reconsider this. read more

Came here for a spur of the moment sushi outing. We decided to try somewhere new and remembered this place. I don't have much high hopes for an AYCE sushi place as I've been disappointed before but my oh my.... This place changed that opinion.. Fish quality was much better than I thought it would be. The nigiri was in smaller than usual sizes but this just allows you to try more. Very very good though ! The appetizers were all good as well. The crispy rice, gyoza , chicken teriyaki all very good and seem like was made to order and not just sitting there. Chicken itself had a good grilled taste to it. Udon noodles were great as well! Soju and beer ... well it's soju and beer. Can't mess that up. Service was quick and attentive as well! Overall great place and would easily come back again. read more

Made a reservation for 6 people on Mother's Day at 4pm and were seated immediately. It was packed the entire time we were there. Ordered immediately and chose the premium, the appetizers came out quickly and rolls a bit after that but it took about 50 minutes for the nigiri to come out. Ordered a second order immediately after and that one took maybe 15 mins to come out. The portions have increased in size since I last came, nigiri and rolls are proper sized (though I really didn't mind when they were smaller) and what I assumed were going to be maki rolls and hand rolls were the most monstrous creations I've ever seen with their size. Pace yourself on those. Still very good bang for your buck, it's not the most amazing sushi but I'd say on par or better quality than your average sushi restaurant. read more

This is one of the last AYCE sushi restaurants in the bay from my experience. Food is great and I really like appreciate the fish-to-rice ratio on the nigiri. Service is a bit slow and sometimes they send me something I didn't order, but I eat it anyways. Solid AYCE restaurant overall. read more

Charlotte is amazing!! 3rd day of work... where?! The wait wasn't too bad for Valentine's Day. The selection was huge! Everything was really good. I would skip the miso soup (it was cold), and the tempura (it was soggy and on the oily side) read more

I've been eyeing this place for so long and I finally came around to trying it. This is an all you can eat sushi restaurant. The way that it works is you order in rounds. You can choose the regular AYCE option of the premium option that includes nigiri. Each person in your party is limited to two rolls per round. Meaning if there is 2 of you the max amount of rolls you can order per round is 4. My partner and I got to maybe 2-3 rounds and we're stuffed by the end of it. We had a great experience here, every single roll and plate was brought out in a timely manner. The baked rolls took longer, as expected. And the fish here was fresh! There wasn't a roll that we ordered that I didn't like. The staff here is super friendly and they make sure you have everything you need even if they aren't assigned to your table. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

Do not bring your first date here because this will be my last date as a woman! Every portion is way smaller than a regular sushi restaurant. I was expecting them to serve sushi rolls in 6 or 8 pieces, but got 4 per plate. The sweet potato tempura was thinly sliced and the fried tofu was kiddie sized. Some of the rice is hard to swallow with unclean cuts of a 5 year old in training. The miso soup have no tofu and the seaweed was a bit undercooked. The only thing I enjoyed is the mackerel and yellowtail nigiri which the rice are hella small. I'm crying on the inside while my date enjoys going here. Prefer to go to a Japanese grocery store for better portions at a cheaper price. Service was fast and the waiters are nice to refill your water and soda without extra charge. The restaurant ambiance remains the same as the previous Madfish restaurant. I just regret coming here to swallow AYCE sushi in three rounds. read more

Finally got a chance to try Sake2Me Sushi. The parking was easier here on a weeknight. The hype has died down for this place as we had an early dinner with reservations for 4 at 5:30pm. The restaurant filled up around 6:30pm. Modern yet simple decor. Inside dining only. They have separate single user men & women's restrooms. Regular Course AYCE $34.95 Premium Course AYCE $39.95 The nigiri was thin with a small amount of rice. The fish was fresh and bite-size. The rolls were decent sized and the carpaccio was very thinly sliced. You can order up to 5 rounds with 5 orders per person. They do have some food limits on certain items. The dining time limit is 120 minutes. Appetizers: Ika Geso Shishito Peppers (3) Fried Gyoza Vegetable Tempura (3) Agedashi Tofu Albacore Carpaccio (2) Salmon Carpaccio (3) Tuna Carpaccio (2) Mini Sushi Tacos with Salsa Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna Hawaiian Poke Hand Roll: Salmon Skin HR No Rice Specials: Tim (crabmeat, salmon, lemon) Tuna Lover (spicy crabmeat, tuna, avocado) Rice: Fried Rice with vegetables Nigiri: Salmon Belly (limit 1 per customer) Salmon (3) Spicy Garlic Salmon Seared Salmon with Mango salsa Yellowtail (2) Albacore Freshwater Eel (3) Squid Salmon Egg Inari Butter Shrimp Masago Spicy Scallops (2) Seared Rolls: Crazy Salmon: In - spicy Imitation Crabmeat, avocado.

They were attentive and checked up on us frequently. Support your local business. read more

Sake2Me was my first experience having AYCE sushi, and I'm glad I tried it. Lighting is bright inside and decor wasn't too crazy or anything. It was $35 and $40 for the regular and premium option respectively, which is a pretty decent price for what you're getting in terms of variety and quality; the menu is extensive. A friend and I came on a Monday night, wasn't crowded at all and we were seated right away. The menu is pretty large so we spent some time just looking through. We tried most of the nigiri, a couple of the rolls, and some appetizers. For nigiri, the size of each piece is small (which is nice and allowed us to order multiple rounds without feeling bloated). The salmon belly and salmon nigiri were great, would recommend those! Eel was good too. Appetizers were okay. Rolls were also okay. I'd probably stick to the nigiri, but you are only able to order 5 orders per person per round, so it's hard to order a lot at a time. Service was good, staff were happy to answer questions, food did take a while to arrive in between rounds. I would come back again some time, but it probably would be once in a while. read more

Came here on a Sunday and was greeted and seated right away. Restaurant is pretty big as they have a front area as well as a back area. You get a paper to mark off what you want and it seems like you get 5 rounds of order. The Nigiri pieces were decent size with minimal rice. I was sad that they didnt have the salmon skin available to try but all the other Nigiri pieces were fresh and yummy. .5 star taken out cause the poke that I tried had a weird taste and another .5 cause the rolls were very poorly made and sucks that there were limited specialty rolls. Which we couls ordee but it's a la carte on top of the ayce. But all and all, it was a good experience and was a fast ordering process. read more

I LOVE Sake2Me Sushi! I tried AYCE sushi for the first time in San Diego and have been looking for a spot in the Bay ever since (so happy I've found one). They're located in a shopping plaza with tons of parking. Staff are so friendly and attentive. Fish quality (5/5) - I'm typically picky about the nigiri I enjoy because I hate when raw fish is very fishy-tasting and has a weird texture. However, I never encountered these issues here and really enjoyed the nigiri! Variety (4/5) - They have so many different rolls and nigiri (both raw and baked). They also have quite a few appetizers that I enjoyed (loved the baked muscles). Price (5/5) - Such a great deal, absolutely worth it. They even give you ice cream after. Will be back! read more

Sake2Me Sushi - Nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Fremont, California

I've been here twice now and had a good experience each time. I've came once on a weekday lunch and another time on a Saturday dinner and didn't have to wait for a table (in fact, weekday lunch seemed to be busier). I've opted for the premium menu because we like to order nigiris and it's a good value for what you get. They give you a paper menu to write down your orders for each round and the food comes out in a timely manner. The fish is fresh and good quality. There's a good variety of things on the menu, but I like their nigiris, carpaccio, and rice-less sushi. But my favorite thing about this place is the rice to fish ratio! They give a small amount of rice compared to fish which I like cause I get more bang for my buck. That's pretty much the main reason why I would keep coming back. My only suggestion would be for the servers to offer to take the next round's orders sooner to avoid having a gap when eating. It almost seemed strategic that they would only come around when the table was empty. I like to keep the food coming at AYCE! read more

Very fast service and the staff was very kind! 4/5 - Seared Cajun Albacore Nigiri (Top), Squid Nigiri (Bottom) - Savory, fresh cuts of fish! Squid nigiri texture was a bit chewier than I expected but nevertheless still flavorful. You get a mild punch from the cajun albacore which was a unique flavor profile and we loved it! 5/5 - Salmon with Jalapeno Nigiri (top), Salmon Nigiri (Middle), Yellowtail (Bottom) - Highly recommend these nigiri choices! Salmon tests very fresh and the jalapeno topping keeps the variety among the salmon nigiri flavors. Yellowtail is also very fresh and great to keep ordering rounds of! 5/5 - Salmon Nigiri (Top), Seared Salmon with Mango Salsa Nigiri (Middle), Spicy Garlic Salmon Nigiri (Bottom) - Our favorite three salmon nigiri options to order. The seared salmon with mango salsa is very savory and you can taste the char with the sear. The garlic salmon with the green onion topping enhances the classic salmon nigiri taste! 3/5 - Albacore Carpaccio (Top), Salmon Carpaccio (Middle), Tuna Carpaccio (Bottom) - While very flavorful, we thought the sauce made the carpaccio a bit too "wet", compared to having sashimi on its own. You're typically limited to just one order unless you prefer to order extra for more, but it puts an appreciated variety on the fish choices here! 5/5 - Papa Smurf - A classic California roll baked roll, this time topped with a savory scallop and eel sauce. The california roll didn't have much rice, which left more room for the flavor profile and weight of the baked scallop. I recommend ordering this early so you have time to wait for it to cook while you eat other orders! 4/5 - Spicy Scallops Roll - A savory dish that brings a scalloped topping with a creamy sauce onto some rice and nori. We thought the nori was a bit less fresh here and not as crunchy, but overall the dish is saved by the main component of spicy scallop. 5/5 - Umami Roll - Just like the roll is named, there are a lot of umami flavors in this roll with the unagi and unagi sauce. With the cucumber crunch and soft textures of salmon and nigiri, you'll enjoy this flavor profile and its double sauce drizzle with the creamy mayo. Not too filling or with many slices, so you can order this without feeling like it will overfill the party. 5/5 - ViVi - The double sauces on this roll complement the fish very well! The slight cajun spice gives the roll a special flavor profile and rightfully belongs on this part of the menu. The shrimp tempura and spicy crab are a great combo to have in the inner portion of the roll. Highly recommend ordering as one of your first round rolls! 5/5 - Ricky Bobby - Savory flavors with the seared albacore and spicy mayo and a punch of spice from the cajun flakes! Highly recommend this seared roll that has a combination texture profile with the spicy imitation crab, crunchy shrimp tempura, and soft cream cheese. One of my favorite rolls from this restaurant! 4/5 - Crispy Rice - Great crunch and well complemented by the jalapeno and spicy aioli/teriyaki (I think) double sauce. The rice may have felt a tad overcooked and quite dense but still a fun appetizer to try here! 3.5/5 - Calamari - Decent crunch and a tasty spicy aioli sauce. Nothing too outstanding with the dish but if you love calamari this is a good option to try while you eat the variety of other appetizer dishes! 3.5/5 - Shrimp Tempura - Typical shrimp tempura flavor and sauce. The portion felt quite small compared to other sushi buffets I have been to. Without criticizing serving due to the AYCE format, the shrimp tempura did not have much taste due to its size though the batter was not overwhelming and had some crunch! read more

The rice to fish proportion is solid, but overall think the place is just ok. I remember when it first opened and there were lines out the door, but I went at 5 pm on a Friday and there was no wait. $40 for the AYCE premium isn't bad, but wouldn't come back as the quality isn't great. Also even with the AYCE there's so many restrictions on what you can and can't order per round. read more

I was hungry after late arrival at SFO. Most restaurant either closed for break before dinner or I miss the lunch hours. So I was looking for AYCE and found this spot with good review. Not bad at all. Service was great and fast. No hassle. Food keep coming. Sushi was fresh and rice ratio is very good. Small rice with medium size Sushi. Go with Nigiri and No Rice options. They're taste great and easy tummy filled rolled. Modern ambiance dinner in Lowes shopping center, near Costco Fremont. read more

Perfect spot for AYCE sushi in the bay area that's not San Francisco. There's plenty of parkings in the plaza. The area around is spacious and clean that you can walk around to digest all sushi that you're going to get from this place. The servers are friendly and nice, if it's busy, they might get a little behind from getting your order sheet, but you can always flag them down. One you're seated, they will provide you a sheet with 5 columns. Each column is a round where you can put whichever number of orders that you want next to the items. Their nigiri was the best of the show. Very reasonable amount of rice. The texture and freshness were on point too! One of my favorite roll was their seared salmon roll, which turned out to be so good, we had to reorder right after! Definitely will go back once I'm fully recovered full these food comma. Highly recommended read more

A solid place for AYCE sushi and the price was pretty fair for the variety and quality you get. Fish quality was good and I appreciated how they didn't load up on the rice for the nigiri. I do wish the fish portions were a bit bigger. Not a deal breaker though, because that just meant we had to keep ordering more plates. Staff were welcoming and service was great. Also nice that they're located in a large plaza so there's plenty of parking. read more

Pretty legit for ayce sushi. The nigiri comes with only a bit of rice so they aren't trying to fill you up with carbs. It's a serious value. Ordering is pretty easy; mark down what you want on the paper menu and the server comes by to pick it up. We went wild for two rounds and called it quits after that. I know this is basic, but the spider roll was my favorite. The baked and seared rolls were suprisingly good too. Salmon belly, shrimp, and mackerel stood out in terms of nigiri. Almost everything was worth trying. The few items I would skip would be the jalapeño bombs, crispy tuna rice, taco, poke, sashimi salad, and shu mai. These were my least favorite of the day. I would allocate precious stomach space for other dishes. read more

FOOD // $40 for premium AYCE nigiri? YES PLEASE High quality fish! You can order 5 orders of nigiri per person. Max out every time! The surprising hit was the Escolar, so unexpected! The salmon was delicious! The Yuzu Yellowtail was great! Worth repeating! The amount of rice was very small and reasonable! I felt like the ratio of fish to rice was big! SKIP THE SASHIMI SALAD, SALMON SKIN HAND ROLL, AND ANYTHING BAKED OR FRIED. SERVICE // It was not busy on a Friday night surprisingly! We went early at 4:45 pm. Unfortunately we had some misses with our ordering. We kept getting the wrong appetizers and we had to stop our server multiple times and tell them we didn't order that dish, and it's clear based on the sheet what we ordered. Don't bother w appetizers anyway they are all filler. On our last order of nigiri they gave us a new sheet but didn't write our table number on it, when we waited a while the waiter noticed us and asked us if we wanted more nigiri and we said we already put in an order and he said he would go check. He brought oh the order and asked if it was ours and we said yes and he was very apologetic and said he would properly put in our order. Don't expect much from service but they were friendly and filled up water and checked in on us, but once it gets busy I think it will get harder to get their attention. They were apologetic when mistakes did happen. AMBIANCE// This place is secretly big. It goes deep. There isn't one big open space but several small spaces. We were in the long hall next to the bathrooms which were tucked away. It didn't bother us we were by them! This place is KID friendly! They have high chairs and a huge single stall family friendly bathroom with a changing table, but just be aware that kids ages 0-3 are free but 3-9 you must pay $22, which is weird because if I had a 3 year old I would definitely not pay for them LOL.

This place is pretty good for an AYCE. Some of the carpaccio isn't fresh. The rice to fish ratio is great, there's less rice and more fish. The service was quick.

I came on a weekday (monday) around noon so it was not busy at all. Before coming here I read the reviews and was not happy to see that the amt of nigiri that can be ordered was very limited. Honestly, with how much RICE they put into each nigiri, you can't even eat that much anyways. You're forced to get premium if you want ANY nigiri options for AYCE. The mango salsa on anything barely had a taste, could not taste the mango at all. Do NOT get the salmon skin handroll. I love salmon skin but not when they crumble it to so many tiny pieces like just look at that ratio!! It was soooo oily and mainly had burnt and oil flavor it was so bad. Service was great but it also was not busy at all- so that might change during their busier times. I love finishing off my ayce meal with some hit instant ramen (feels so good ) but the ramen used here was not great- the soup had no flavor or was hella diluted. Would rather go to Mad for Sushi in Dublin instead. This place does not compare to the SoCal locations AT ALL read more

I visited Sake2Me Sushi in Fremont, CA [43337 Christy St] on Tuesday, 9/30/25, around 7 PM. On this visit, I opted for the Premium AYCE dinner deal for about $40. I was able to try the following dishes: * Hamachi Nigiri * Shrimp Shumai * Mini Sushi Tacos with Salsa * Miso Soup * Rainbow Roll * Spicy Tuna Hand Roll * Baked Green Mussels * Hawaiian Poke * Buldak Carbonara * Strawberry Mochi All of the food was tasty and met expectations. Even though I enjoyed everything, I favored the Baked Green Mussels, the Mini Sushi Tacos, and the Hawaiian Poke the most. The customer service was attentive and pleasant from the staff members. The indoor ambiance was clean, spacious, and welcoming. The entertainment from the TV screen and music was awesome. Overall, visiting this restaurant was fantastic. After consuming everything, I was extremely full and satisfied. The positive dining experience makes me want to return to Sake2Me Sushi in the future. read more

All you can eat sushi sounds nice until you realize this place limits how much you can eat due to the horrendously slow service. We were given a sheet that allows 3 rounds of ordering and each round took an hour to get the food out. You can only order 5 nigiri per round and since there's only 3 rounds, you can only get 15. The sushi here isn't even good either. The salmon in particular was extremely fishy and felt a little suspicious. I don't expect fish at AYCE places to be the best quality, but this place didn't even meet average standards. Everything was either flavorless or fishy and the best thing I had was the buldak carbonara. I wouldn't waste your time and money coming here for subpar sushi. The food came out so slowly I almost took a nap in the restaurant. For the price, you can get decent sushi almost anywhere else. read more
