Well, I have to change my review and I always support this business. We ha e family here and small kids and didn't want to both people in the restaurant and wanted a few to go orders. They won't do it at all! We sat at the bar to order a drink a wait for our food. They won't do a to go order. Just a disappointment abuse their food is good but, lost my business when I wanted to not bother people with my small children. I'll drive to whitefish now. read more

Never before have I been told to call back and make an order. Apparently they're too busy for my business. Even a hole in the wall pizza place can say 'we're busy sorry your order won't be ready for 45 minutes.' Apparently here they expect us to call back and cross our fingers they aren't too busy to grace me by taking my order. What a joke. It's not complicated. If you answer the phone for a take out order kindly tell the customer the expected pickup window. Either the customer accepts it or they don't. But asking for a call back and hoping you can get the order then is about the most idiotic thing I've heard in my life. read more

Five stars! The food was amazing! Our waitress Jenna gave us recommendations that were delicious and scrumptious. She put up with my husbands silly banter and held her own. Thanks! read more

Wow. This place is fantastic. First off, the atmosphere is beautiful. We immediately felt like we were out to a special dinner. I've included pictures. The bathrooms are even beautiful and clean (with real towels, not paper towels!) We ordered wakame, grow wings, erad spicy, and spicy goat. We asked our server how big the rolls were and she was really accurate and helpful. We are both tall, young, active people and we were stuffed off this order! So the rolls are expensive, but you get a lot of food. We got a couple of beers, they had a great cocktail, beer, wine, and sake menu. Our total bill was $53 and we were both stuffed. Honestly for good sushi in Montana, that's a screaming deal. When we went to Blue Samurai it was $80, and that was without drinks. The grow wings was super light and flavorful, the snap peas are genius. The erad spicy is very spicy but such a fantastic flavor combo - love the cashews and ika. The spicy goat small roll was an absolute experience- really loved it, so unique. Light but creamy at the same time, totally surprising. The wakame was the best I've ever had. Fish quality was excellent. Our service was great. We wanted to try some nigiri, as that is I think a better mark of how a sushi place is than rolls. but the rolls looked so good that we just went with that this time. I can't wait to come back and try more. Best sushi we've had in the valley, bar none (have not tried Wasabi yet). So lucky we have this gem in our back yard! read more

Fraud beware: Twice in the last year Sake To Me has overcharged my card for tip. Both times, there was a 0 added to the tip so adding $70 to the tip instead of the $7 that I wrote on the credit card slip. If it happens once, absolutely I can understand that mistakes happen, but when it happens twice this makes me suspect that something nefarious is going on- especially when it was the same server both times. The first time it happened the manager dealt with it promptly and was very kind and apologetic. The second time I reached out to (new) manager Jamie and she was dismissive and aggressive in her response. If the owner wants to reach out to me, I would be happy to share screen shots of her texts to show you how your employees are representing your business. Diners beware, if you do decide to dine at this restaurant be sure to check your credit card charges after you go. read more

Don't plan on coming here and walking up to get a meal. I counted nine empty tables and they only seat reservations. No walk up dining. Nor do they do take out. Sorry but we will NEVER be back. read more

Drove 240 miles just to try this place out with my son and his wife-on the 16th of june 2019 - wow what a shocker - was seated at the bar with the 3 of us and there 1 year old - we had no reservation - didnt know we needed 1. hostess was very snotty to us - waited 55 minutes for no food. I love sushi - but not from there - word of mouth travels fast and far. Drake - contact me please read more

The food is fantastic and the service is very good. I do believe they could abide by some of the current safe practices during the coronavirus situation. It was packed,people were sitting very close together not the greatest situation. read more

We went back to this place, with a 6:30pm reservation. We arrived around 6:25pm, checked in, and were told that the table they had reserved for us was not available yet. We waited outside for 5 minutes, then an employee came out and told us that the people who were at our reserved table before us ordered more rolls. Okay, we waited 5 more minutes, then peeked through the windows were there were TWO open tables for two. We waited some more, then husband asked about those two open tables. Employee said they don't "shift around reservations" regarding where reservations are seated. After continuing to wait, we were brought in and sat at one of the tables that was open the entire 45 minute wait. Long story short - we arrived 5 minutes early to our reservation, waited 45 minutes for "our table", when there were other tables available, ended up being sat at one of the tables that were open the entire time we waited anyway. Again, great food, awful organization & atmosphere. Seating and Service quality depends on the night... read more

Saketome Sushi - Clockwork Orange (top) Drago Roll (bottom) Massive Attack (right) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bigfork, Montana

This is the best sushi you'll ever have! Right here in Montana! World class wonderful menu of new and unusual. I love the fois gras and the seared scallops. My husband doesn't like sushi so I order him the salmon seared and it is amazing. So you can still go and bring your friends! read more

Came here with my mother, who is not a big sushi eater, so I tried to keep our order simple, which was a little difficult here. They have some wonderful, innovative rolls, but it would be nice to see some more basics mixed in. The restaurant is beautiful, with some really unique art. That's is a dimensional mural of water and what appears to be local fish. We found it very charming. The restroom was also very impressive and aesthetically pleasing. The server was friendly and helpful. We went with a Drago's Breath, Abba Zabba and Shrimp Crunch. The Drago's Breath was interesting. I've never had strawberry on sushi before. My favorite was the Abba Zabba, which is similar to a typical salmon skin roll but with kiwi, which I felt compliments it nicely. Mom's favorite was the Shrimp Crunch, which was fairly basic but very good, though in my opinion could have done such less soy sauce. A great place for sushi in Montana, which is a treat. I reccomend trying the ginger beer. It's very refreshing! read more

very very crowded so it took some time to get a table and a server. Sushi very good salad was awful. Salad was full of water and it needed to be cut. Impossible to eat read more

This was my favorite restaurant in Bigfork but I will not come back here anymore. I was here today because I was craving for sushi. Normally I would've been okay to sit at the bar and order some small plates, but with the whole social distancing thing, I wasn't very comfortable sitting in a bar where I might end up sitting next to someone. The last time I was here, my friend and i opted to sit outside in the front terrace to have some drinks because we were terrified at how social distancing didn't seem to be the new norm in this establishment. I was petrified then. Still, today, I wanted to give it another chance and see if they had at least put some new rules in place given that the numbers are spiking in MT. The hostess and female manager at the door were simply annoyed as soon as I walked in. I don't know why, but it was like my presence there was an inconvenience. I felt very unwelcomed. Seeing that only one table was occupied in the whole restaurant, I asked if I could get a table instead of my usual place in the bar. They both simultaneously said "No, we are fully booked. You can sit in the bar if you want." I had to take a pause, and it seemed that they were annoyed and impatient that I had to think about it. "Well, what do you want to do?" I said that I had to think about it because of the whole social distancing thing, and asked if they could give me time to think about it. The manager rolled her eyes and looked away. Wow. Its as if it was out of place for me to even consider my risk with Covid. I looked at the female manager whose mask was hanging loose, it barely even covered her nose. I couldn't believe these were the kind of people Saketumi would hire to greet people at the door. I just turned around and left, feeling heavily disappointed and angry. I understand that they were booked, but there was a nicer way to let customers know, like a simple and genuine "So sorry, but we are booked for today." I wish I could give a negative rating, because of their nasty and unkind manner, I will never come back to this place again. As I drove away, I decided to call the establishment to see if I could talk to someone higher up. I was simply directed to the same manager at the door, and when I expressed my disappointment, she retorted in an angry way "you're disappointed because we are booked? Next time, make a reservation." She totally missed the point that I was disappointed because of her attitude, and that is the reason this (used to be favorite) restaurant is now in my No-list. read more

Our favorite local sushi joint!! Make reservations ahead of time using open table. Our table wasn't ready when we got there so they sat us at the Sushi Bar, ended up being such a fun experience!! Our kids loved watching the sushi chefs prepare the rolls. Staff is always friendly, drinks on point and Sushi fresh!! read more

I've been coming here for years and it is one of our favorite places to eat in the Valley. The food is excellent and they are well versed on gluten free options. We love to sit at the fun bar and watch the sushi chefs make their master pieces. Awesome place to eat! read more

Great atmosphere, clean environment, friendly staff. Food was great! They even have Sake flights! I had the shrimp crunch roll, edamame, vegetable tempura, and some "bomb" roll...I forgot the whole name. SO YUMMY. A hidden gem. read more

Service is great! Bartenders are amazing! They will make any roll customized and they are always so bomb. The best dinner in bigfork and my favorite sushi spot in the valley read more

So glad we stopped here for dinner via a recommendation from a Whitefish, MT local. We sat at the sushi bar and chatted with the friendly front line chefs. We had the Big Sky Spyder small roll and Trophic Cascade + Big Ole Bear speciality rolls, all three were unbelievably good. Fully transparency: we had doubts about sushi quality in a small Montana town. I'm happy to report my expectations were blown out of the water. read more

Went in to grab some sushi with a small group. We were never greeted and rudely asked if we had a reservation. Asked if we needed one and they said yeah we fill up quick. So made the reservation for 5pm and showed up at 4:58. We could hear a server inside yelling "you got two minutes fuck you." Needless to say we will never be back. Clearly if you feel so angry like that you need to leave the service industry. Super disheartening to be locals also, and be treated like that. read more

I've been here a handful of times, summer, off-season, and winter. The service is always excellent. These folks work hard! Sushi is delicious. The menu is large and interesting. read more

If i could give this place negative stars, I would. Long story short, while my family and I were there last night, we watched a waitress TOUCH the food then LICK her fingers, then served the plate! We spoke to our nice waitress and let her know what was going on. She defended the waitress saying she's new and doesn't know better. I later called the manager. She told me she gets 5 calls a day from people claiming things like this but she knows lots of people are looking to get free stuff with the COVID going on.... she "asked the kitchen staff and they denied seeing her do this. So, it's my word against theirs." She also refused to give me the money back for the food we didn't eat since we saw the disgusting act. She did offer us a gift card for $15 less than what I paid. Why would anyone come back to a place where they call their customers liars and are rude? NEVER AGAIN read more

Came in 6 mins before opening. Not a customer in the place and full staff sitting around. Asked if we could order to go, and they said; "We don't do to go orders on Friday and Saturday nights." What a bunch of idiots! read more

Good food but the horrible service and aggressive vibe is not worth it. After spending a hundred bucks on dinner they said they didn't have any chopsticks! Seriously? What a horrible experience. read more

Reviews are raving about this place in Big Fork so my husband and I decided to give it a try. One sentence can explain this place; it is lacking the basic understanding of sushi, period. 1) I always order nigiri at any sushi restaurants to determine if the chef has basic understanding on sushi itself. Shari (rice), which is the most important part of sushi, was not done correctly and it tasted as if they didn't do anything to prepare it. 2) They go overly aggressive on katsuobishi flavor on Cherry Bombs and Akami Tataki which is a rookie mistake. I simply couldn't taste the flavor of fish due to this issue. 3) Tataki should be seared, not tempura fried.. 4) Out of three nigiri orders I made, two were not available (Ankimo and foie Gras). If you don't carry them, please don't indicate on the menu. 5) Server said they still have a bit of foie gras left to make Big Ol' Bear. When we received, we couldn't find any foie gras nor taste it. 6) Turn time was ridiculous. There was only one other table besides us but it took more than 10 minutes to get the next item. (Don't get me wrong. We placed the entire order in the beginning) If you are somebody who knows your sushi, I wouldn't recommend this place despite what other reviews say. You might be better off at Kobe Sushi to get same quality of sushi with more affordable price. read more

Sushi was so good! I had the BigFork Bomb from the speciality rolls and I never want to eat a different roll from now on. Their rolls are gigantic as well! They get to be a little pricey, but are well worth the amount of food and taste. The reason for the 3 stars is due to the service. Our waitress was constantly leaning on the bar waiting for the bartender to make her drinks (would stand there for 3-5 minutes) while other customers, including us, were waving at her for help when she gave a "one second" finger and went right back to staring at the bartender and leaning? It was so unprofessional and rude. That was the worst of it, other parts of our service from her were less to be desired as well. If we come back, we'll be avoiding her section. read more

Very Good Sushi and some tasty unique offerings in an unexpected Spot. Friendly Vibe good Service. Local Hang. Cute Town.

My boyfriend and I have been to Saketome 3 times. The first time we went, it was for our first date, and we were seated at a small table next to the restroom. (My bf is 6'3" and could barely squeeze into the chair) As soon as we finished the server asked if we we're leaving because there were people waiting. (Rude) My bf still talks about that. The next time we were almost brought back to that same small table. So we asked for a different one. We were seated at another small table sandwiched in between people. Trying one more time...Last night, because I knew my bf had made a reservation for his birthday, I messaged the restaurant ahead of time and asked if we could have a nice table for this special occasion. I was told "I will see what I can do. Most of our bigger tables are reserved for 4 tops but I will check and see if I can make that work. We will do our best to get you at a table that fits you." However, when we arrived we were told they'd HAD a bigger table for us but gave it away to another group "who also had a reservation" And had prepared that - same small table by the bathroom! I told them that it was unacceptable, that we too had made a reservation and had taken the time to ask in advance for a different table. The hostess was somewhat apologetic but basically said that they reserve bigger tables for 4 or more. After standing by the door waiting for people to finish eating, we ended up at a small table in between people again. No mention was made about his birthday and no offer to make things right. The food was okay and our server was pleasant. But due to the lack of effort on the restaurant's part, it tainted our experience. There are other sushi restaurants in the valley besides Saketome. The one in Whitefish will even sprinkle sparkles on the table for someone's birthday! Saketome won't get our business again. read more

I have had sushi in Las Vegas, all over Montana and the world and this is one of the best. Food is first class but I had trouble finding place because the sign on building is way behind the street and small lettering! It is second floor next to the GARDEN BAR. Our waitress and general manager Genna was terrific and host Britney excellent and attentive also. We will return during off season on Wednesdays or Thursdays when it is not fully booked and noisy. read more

Last night was our first visit to Saketome. Gotta love the name! Hoping to love the food, excited to have sushi! While the food was good and servings large, social distancing was out the window. They piled as many people in as they could. We had our own table thankfully. The sushi bar was elbow to elbow. Not sure why we stayed. Or why everyone stayed. Needless to say we won't be back for quite sometime read more

Fresh fish and had a nice vibe. My only complaint is you're on a time limit at the table. We had drinks to start, ordered appetizers and took our time reading through the menu and asked the waitress questions. When enjoyed the sushi that we ordered one more roll. When the last roll arrived with another drink, we were told that we had 5 minutes to finish because our time at the table was up. The waitress said it's on the website when we made reservations. We made reservations in advance since we were on vacation along with many other restaurants so bad on us for not reading the fine print. I would just suggest to remind their guests when seated so we don't spend more money on drinks and more rolls that went to waste. read more

The sushi at Saketome Sushi is always good. It's great to have this quality in a small town in Montana. The music is loud and the vibe is upbeat. For some this may be a big issue. It is hard to have a conversation with your friends. It's that loud! When we were ordering, our server was having difficulty hearing us. When my wife expressed frustration, the servers response was, " I need for you to be nicer". Really? The restaurant is successful. It's not for me to say that they need to make a few changes. It will, however, be difficult for us to go back. Mark Stack read more

We had a fantastic dinner. Heather, the GM, was absolutely lovely and took great care of us. Started with a bottle of wine (ask for the "by the bottle" menu if you're not doing by the glass for more options) and sake. They have a Good variety of options alcohol-wise and a full bar. Apps-wise we had the edamame, Tuna poke and new style scallops. All delish but.the. scallops. Say it louder for the people In the back! Omg, amazing. Just get them. The albacore special was great and roll-wise, you can't go wrong with any of them. All so Creative and perfectly prepared. We drove from whitefish and felt the meal was totally worth the drive. They do take reservations and are on opentable. If you're craving sushi while near the Big Fork area, this gem won't disappoint ! read more

Incredible sushi! It was fresh, great size/pieces, perfect temperature and consistency and outstanding flavors!!! The nigiri pieces were excellent. And their akami, toro, and o-toro were simply divine. We went there twice in 5d - that's how great it was. The rolls were really good too! Cool servers and really nice sushi chefs! read more

These are the nicest people, the best sushi in the Flathead Valley and the cocktails are cold and creative. They even make alcohol free "mock-tails" for me in the copper mug when I ask. I hope you go. I hope Heather is your server and you get one of everything! It's got a modern vibe. It's clean and in a great location. I eat sushi other places, but nothing compares. read more

Food was very good, service was very good my only concern is the lack of cleanliness. The tables are made of concrete which is porous and perfect breeding ground for bacteria. The tables were sticky which meant they were not cleaned properly. They have so much going for them with their imaginative menu and great food execution but they just need to clean up the place. read more

Probably the best sushi in the Flathead! We ordered a lot and everything was on point! I will definitely be back! Quaint and the service was excellent! Thank you and we will be back read more

This is a very fancy seeming restaurant for the area. I was with a large group and received very friendly and prompt service the sushi is absolutely beautiful and delicious. They have unique rolls that do not disappoint. I look forward to coming back here. read more

The freshest fish in the Valley. Their rolls are kinda crazy and have a little too much fruit for me but they will make whatever you want. And because the fish is so fresh you will be stoked. I don't know how they do it getting such good fish. All of the sushi I had was really good. If you like real sushi just order it like you would at your local spot. Just be specific that you don't like sauces. The fish stands on its own here. read more
