Hey Foodies, Lately I've been interested in trying new types of sushi. I've only ever had California Rolls as my safe choice. I read the reviews for this place and decided to give it a try. So glad that I did! My first visit, I showed the hostess a picture that I saw on their reviews, and she explained that it was a Spicy Kani Roll. After ordering that the first night, I went back 3 nights in a row! That's literally how delicious it is! I tried the roll with and without avocado.. both variations did not disappoint. Although I did not dine in, the restaurant itself is very clean with a pleasing ambiance. The staff is very helpful and kind. On the 2nd and 3rd night going there, the hostess already knew my order by heart! Talk about attentiveness! I am so impressed by this place, they have won me over as a customer for sure. Fresh food and friendly service, definitely worth a try! read more

Saketumi Asian Bistro - 2 Spicy Kani Rolls w. Spicy Mayo & Eel Sauce. (One w. avocado) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I tried the sashimi appetizer, yellowtail jalapeño, beaver roll, and seaweed salad. The fish tasted so fresh, the crispy topping on the roll was a nice complement to the tobiko and sauce. The yellowtail was spicy and delicious. Really wonderful meal, I'd return for takeout. read more

Great food at an extremely reasonable price for their lunch special. It felt good to have an affordable meal. You can also eat outside in the back garden. The waitress is like a speed demon, hustling around all the tables like lightening. Bookmark this restaurant, they are a hidden gem. read more

Very lovely place. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty. Rolls didn't have too much rice, so just great. Very friendly and fast service. They have both inside and outside seating areas read more

Side note: Would recommend calling instead of dealing with their old online ordering system. Also, rating is for the convenience and quality compared to most generic sushi spots and not a general rating (if this was compared to some omakase spots or Hibino or something.) This would be one of your standard local medium sized generic sushi spots owned by non-Japanese folks if it wasn't for a couple key differences. I have first had consistently good meals here which is not super surprising given how long they have been open. Also, they offer surprisingly some Malaysian dishes and Thai food along with the usual mix of Japanese and Chinese and their quality is surprisingly good and especially for the price point. The three roll combo/maki lunch which would normally be perhaps $18 in some spots or more in the area or otherwise and only comes with your choice of miso soup or salad is $15.99 here and comes with both said soup and a simple salad. For sushi, the rice isn't too warm or too cool and the tuna and salmon quality is fine though I would skip the eel cucumber as they don't give that much eel. The yellowtail is fine and the rest of it is standard with the cut sizes being decent as well for all of the sushi. I would say the spicy versions are slightly lesser quality but that's the case in 90% of places. Of course, the salad is standard with the usual generic ginger dressing, though I would say by comparison, I haven't had bad lettuce here compared to some spots. The miso soup is generic and alright but it's nice to get both. They also give you soy sauce in a little container instead of those tiny Kikkoman packages and everything is very nicely separated compared to most spots. I haven't bothered having the other food here but what I'm looking for a quick and very satisfying sushi lunch, I order from here which is pretty frequently and would be more so if I wasn't a 15 minute walk each way. Sure you get much higher quality sushi from some of the fancier spots such as Hibino in Cobble Hill but they give you two rolls which cost more. It is similar quality to Iron Chef House nearby at least in terms of sushi (there's some other things that are better at the latter such as the tuna teriyaki and having lobster ramen.) The people also are very nice here at least for my interactions when getting takeout and they seem very nice to anyone eating here also. Would recommend if you're in the area and you want filling good sushi. read more

Stopped in to grab some sushi for lunch before heading to the park. Called ahead for takeout and staff sounded almost annoyed taking my order. Came in to pick it up and was ignored for the first few minutes and then staff finally gave me my order, barely speaking to me. I felt uncomfortable & glad I was doing takeout vs sitting down. Once I finally tasted the sushi... it was average. Not the best I've had but thankfully not the worst either. All in all? So many better sushi places in Brooklyn. Certainly not coming back. read more

Fresh and fast food. The bento boxes were HUGE! Great value. Service was friendly and attentive. Small little place with about 6 tables. Clean. read more

I ordered on DoorDash and the sushi had a fishy taste and did not seem high quality. I would not order again.

Came here for dinner and was seated right away. The restaurant was kind of dark and empty so we thought it was closed at first. The staff were super friendly and helped us decide what to order. I think we ordered just the right amount of food for two people. I really like the rolls - my favourite was the dragon roll. The sashimi pieces were fresh but some pieces were a bit fishy for my personal preference. The sushi pieces were pretty big so I got full pretty quickly. Overall, great place for quick bite if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Lunch specials are EXCELLENT value for your money! The quality is the same whether you dine in or get takeout, and if you're close I'd recommend calling your order in as opposed to ordering via the apps. The menu has a variety of dishes, from sushi to teriyaki to thai noodle dishes. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp tempura lunch special which included both shrimp and veggies! I removed one star because the quality and value of dinner felt a little subpar compared to lunch. Also adding that there's a nice patio out back, but watch out for little bugs because I was quickly acquired some bites on my last visit! read more

so we stumbled upon this amazingggg place on our way to our volleyball game to grab a quick bite. I am glad we did because its a hidden gem down the stairs in the basement. It has indoor eating place and a lovely backdoor patio which is great for warmer weather. The ambiance is cool and food is great taste wise. Service is very efficient and nice. The best and worth mentioning part is the decor of food-its really cute. All that upscale experience for very reasonable prices. We tried their pineapple rice and Sesame chicken which we loved!! Their sushi looked great that we are defo trying next time! read more

Quality food, quick service and easy take out process. We ordered sushi, gyoza, tuna tataki, and Thai rice vermicelli. We will return!

Haven't been to this restaurant in over 4 years. Went to order take out and was shocked to see how crowded the restaurant was. Many were picking up orders and othered waiting for their food orders. The teriyaki salmon bento box is what I ordered and the food is still very good. Will be visiting them more when in the mood for bento boxes. Staff is also very nice even when they're extremely busy. read more

Had a lovely time here! The service was fast and friendly. I had the tempura udon soup and was blown away by how tasty it was! I loved that they kept the tempura on the side so it wouldn't get soggy. The sauce paired great with the tempura. The noodles are firm and chewy and just delicious. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it's a nice spot for groups of people. read more

Definitely a great place. Good food. Definitely worth the visit. I'm ordering some food from there again.

It's so rare to find a sushi spot that has outdoor seating, and this one even has an adorable backyard patio that's private and quiet. Really kind staff at this bistro. Five stars for their delicious tempura shrimp udon soup (such crispy, light tempura!!) and three stars for the lunch-special rolls like the Pacifica and Phoenix. Wouldn't recommend either, but stick with the udon and the outdoor seating and you'll be very happy. read more

Their food is tasty and a great deal! The staff is super friendly and courteous. The restaurant is a bit cozy and can get busy, but I popped in around 12:30 p.m. on a weekday, and service was fast. I had a relaxed and enjoyable lunch. Recommend! read more

Writing this at 2am. Had the sushi. It was very fishy. When I left the place I felt nauseous & didn't think too much about it. Now I can say that it's the food. Ambiance is small and dark. Service gets a point because they were attentive but man the food was just not edible. I will give this place another shot and hopefully it won't be as bad as this time. read more

When my friends and I crave sushi, Saketumi is the place. Located in the heart of the Heights, Montague street, this neighborhood gem really knows sushi. The restaurant is small but warm and the owner, Jenny, greets all her customers as if we are family. She and her staff are attentive and courteous. The menu is expansive: sushi is the main draw and there are numerous delicious options such as Malaysian curries and soups, sashimi, noodles, rice salads and Bento boxes.( boxes are $13.95 for lunch) My friends and I order our favorites: Appetizers: Shrimp tempura is heavenly and spice can be altered, shrimp gyoza and summer rolls ( shrimp, lettuce, carrots, cucumber and avocado wrapped in rice paper with peanut sauce)are downright delicious. Sushi: My friends order rolls that are off the menu like mango and avocado and special eel concoctions. I love their California Roll, so fresh! The other standout is the Shrimp Tempura, lightly battered shrimp with avocado and cucumber and tobiko which is addictive and we're always ordering another portion. Always ask for their spicy Mayo! Tonight I ordered a beer from their Happy Hour menu: Asahi: a dry, rice lager from Japan. It was light and refreshing, employee's suggestion. Tonight we also tried their tempura fried ice cream:fried ice cream housed in a panko shell with whipped cream. Sweet ending to a great meal! read more

Solid spot for affordable pan-Asian cuisine. If you're seeking fusion, or just craving a whole bunch of different styles, this is a decent option. The lunch specials are affordable, though I can't say they're my favorite. The General Tso's Chicken was underwhelming and kinda weird, whereas the yaki udon didn't have the flavor or consistency I was hoping for. The sushi is also just average. Fast delivery and decent service, and the backyard dining area is gorgeous. Overall, kinda middle-of-the-road for me. read more

My friends and I have dined here several times over the past year and it's a solid restaurant. They have a backyard area as well which is beautiful. The indoor space is not grand by any mean but does have capacity to space seats apart, especially with covid concerns. The decor is minimalistic and modern. The food itself is great! They have a variety of fusion dishes from Thai to Japanese. I personally have always loved the curry and soup dishes, although I sometimes go for sushi too. I've never had a bad dish from here, they all are delicious! The price point per entree is $15-25 on average, so maybe it's on the higher end for a lunch run, but certainly worth it for a dinner date! Overall, a solid 4/5 for what it offers and the flavors of their various dishes. read more

Quaint little place, but surprisingly great food! Authentic Thai food. Definitely coming back

Cozy and cute place for good sushi and Chinese food at a decent price. Staff was friendly and efficient

I think this place is pretty average, but my sister loves it a lot. The food is fine. It's low priced, but not cheap so that is a plus. But I wasn't too impressed by anything but the calamari. They're shaped like onion rings so that was amusing. Service was a bit lacking, but again my sister really enjoys it so maybe I came on a bad day. If you're in the area, sure. I wouldn't travel to get here. read more

I enjoy lunch at Saketumi often always end my meal with a smile and completely satiated. They are a family owned small business and you can see collaborative effort among the team. On a warm sunny day, head to the garden. read more

- you might miss this place if your not explicitly paying attention to the signage - superb lunch specials - the worst part about this place is deciding which special you want to endeavor - pork katsu don is amazing - general tso tastes fresh - I love the salad - shrimp gyoza was alright - service was delightful read more

We stopped in for an after dinner drink, hoping to find a great bottle of sake to split. Although it was after 8pm, there was another couple eating so we definitely weren't there too late. The staff were unwelcoming and cold, showing disappointment that we only wanted to have a drink. Despite our dislike of the sake, which we didn't finish, we asked for the check. We paid with cash, including a generous 25% tip. Two of the servers approached our table demanding that we replace the bill because the corner tip of the 20 was ripped. They were quite rude and had no reason to ask for this since the bill was intact. I do not know how the food is at this establishment, but based on the lack of hospitality, we will not be back. read more

Food was ehh... Kind of boring and tasteless. That should never be the response when it comes to sushi.

Feelin' pretty lucky to have so many 5 star experiences these days & Saketumi did not end that streak! The service, hot & fresh plates, backyard patio, and price point for the area gives this spot the 5 stars. I came in with a few friends for a girls night after having made a seamless reservation earlier that day. We chose outdoor seating and they have a sweet little outdoor patio that's appropriate for social distancing. Craving Sushi, noodles, rice dishes, bento boxes, bottles to cocktails of sake? Saketumi's got it all. Prices for dishes range from $6-13+ for sushi rolls and $12-$18 for noodles, bento boxes, etc. I tried the Malaysian noodles with shrimp and they came out hot & tasty! Generous portion too. The service was wonderful. Our server took extra time to open our sake bottles and allow us to try it, unravel our moist towelettes for us, and even came with post-palette cleanser orange slices peeled and cut into individual pieces! It's the little things that count. read more
