Their hot food sucks especially tempura! If you order shrimp tempura comes with 2 shitty pcs! Please do not order any kind of hot food for sure that you feel like robbed read more

Good mood, good service. Sashimi is very fresh and rich enough to enjoy. Yakitori was kind of disappointing me as it's not charcoal-broiled. read more

So far one of the best sushi spots in Richardson due to the freshness and of their fish. Prices are a little high compared to surrounding joints, however, still one of my favorite places due to quality of the fish and meals. It gets really busy in evenings and weekends so plan accordingly. read more

Sushi Sake - Fish bento - Japanese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I was pretty hyped up to find a Japanese restaurants that has agadeshi tofu and chawan mushi since I was visiting dallas. Food was great and elegant atmosphere but horrible service. I believe our waitress was Li. I'm a server and I never seen a server that doesn't smile nor have I seen a server that doesn't know their menu. After I ordered she brought our drinks. While she was pouring our drinks, I asked her the things I ordered, but she didn't know what we put in so far and she had to look back at her notes. Also when I asked her what's on sushi & sashimi, she just handed the list... My order included hamachi Kama but it never came out and it wasn't even charged.... She never checked on how our food was. At the end of our dinner, she was nowhere to be seen and we had to ask someone who doesn't speak English for our Check. What a joke. read more

Went to Sushi Sake on a weeknight for a family dinner. A couple of tables were open but they wouldn't seat us because a couple people weren't there yet. By the time everyone was there 10mins later the tables were gone and we had to wait another 45mins to be seated. That pretty much set the bar for the rest of the experience: Ssslllllooooooowwww. Taking orders, bringing drinks, bringing sushi, etc all took forever. They ended up billing us for an extra tuna roll and we ended up paying for it just so we didn't have to wait any longer for a new bill! The food itself was good, not great. Shishito peppers were unsalted/unseasoned. They put a pinch of table salt on the plate for you to add yourself. I don't mind the idea of having direct control over my sodium intake but to be given penny table salt when Japan is known for having literally hundreds of salt varieties seemed like a cop out. The salmon was the highlight of the meal. It was fresh, buttery, and of good quality. I had it as nigiri, sashimi, and an off menu roll I believe called a "poke" roll. The yellowtail and aji were fresh but in no way stood out as well as the salmon. Lastly, the unagi nigiri was good as well although the accompanied eel sauce dominated the flavor. Ultimately it's probably give this place 4 stars for food but the service was awful. Maybe you'll have better luck sitting at the sushi bar. read more

Their uneducated servers and staff does it again. The food is better than the most japanese restaurant in town, so I have been visiting during lunch time. However, their servers are rude and uneducated to serve the customers at their best. I brought a birthday cake for a friend and we decided to meet at Sushi Saka. I asked the server if she would keep the cake in the refrigerator. You won't believe what she said.. she said, that would be an extra work for me and rolled her eyes. I think No I cannot would have been a better answer. If you want a good food with a shitti customer service, then this is a place for you. Their food won't disappoint you, but do not expect to be treated well. read more

You will not be disappointed!! Avocado bombs are out of this world!! Sushi bar was great & very attentive!

Love this place it's a dfw staple. If your looking for fancy Nobuish Japanese fusion cuisine this is not your place. But if your looking for fresh reasonably priced real authentic Japanese sushi this place is the best. Your whole party has to be present to be seated and when they are busy service is a little slower like it is everywhere else but this place still has a line out the door most evenings so that should tell you something. Also, their specials are the best so order off the chalkboard. read more

My friend and I came to get sushi and waited about 30 minutes on a Friday night. Glad we waited because the sushi was definitely en pointe

I went to this restaurant based on a lot of great feedback from people, and we left super disappointed. Here's what we ordered: Beef asparagus roll: the meat was extremely over cooked, it was tough. They gave you a few small pieces and drenched it in teriyaki sauce. Not worth it. Salmon, yellowtail, sea bass, and scallop nigiri: fish quality was great, but the rice wasn't great and they put way too much wasabi in between the fish and rice to the point where it burned my nose. I dreaded every bite. Chirashi bowl: again fish quality was good, but the amount of rice they give you compared to the fish, is way too much. Overall, spent about $100 here, left feeling hungry and dissatisfied. Would not come back again. read more

We used to love dining at this restaurant pre-covid! Now every time we call we can never get through or receive their answering machine. So frustrated, we'll have to find a new sushi restaurant to order from since it's impossible to order from here. read more

Just came by yesterday. Very low price for a sushi restaurant with decent quality sushi definitely recommend for a budget sushi trip. They do get quite crowded even during weekdays and I thoroughly enjoyed their dobinmushi. They are very strict on outside drinks so make sure to stop by Kung Fu tea after and not before your meal. Service were at times a little slow so -1 star there. Overall very good though especially for the price. read more

Loved the food here. It's a little on the pricey side of sushi but the quality is top notch

This was my second time take out and each time the quality of fish was so bad. The assorted nigiri was really disappointing. I don't think I would recommend it to people who are craving sashimi/nigiri. Not worth it. read more

Called for reservation for party of 7 on Thursday night. I was assured that we will have the table ready. My brother Came first and was told that there was no reserved under my name. I tried to call and the phone was disconnected. Not sure what's up but this was upsetting as i knew this is a busy dinner time so i tried to call ahead. My brother's dinner birthday totally got ruined :( read more

I am one of regular customers here at Sushi Sake and food here always good. Although I feel sushi tasted a little different each time I visited, depending on which sushi chef made ours, nonetheless, we enjoy every food that we order all the time. read more

It's a good thing my friend told me to arrive before 5:30pm because I was the second car to park but within the 2-3 minutes that I was waiting in the car, 15 more cars showed up! I will note that they only seat you when your whole party has arrived. As we were inside in the seating area, waiting for opening time, most of the servers were lined up and dressed in traditional kimonos. The place is large, with a sushi bar that's longer than most I've seen, and Japanese style seating (benches and tables). We got miso soup and again, it's traditional so we weren't given spoons. We just drank from the bowls. The four of us each got the Chirasi Ju which is a variety of sashimi with rice. All the fish were fresh and delicious! The service was also amazing and quick. I don't think I ever saw my glass less than half full before someone was there to fill it up. Same with plates. At max, an empty plate sat at our table for maybe a minute. This is an authentic Japanese experience with a hard-working staff. I will definitely be back again! read more

Sushi Sake - Chirasi ju - Japanese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I will not lie. I had a fantastic experience at Sushi Sake tonight... at first. The food was excellent, and our server was attentive. However, the management is incredibly strict and their customer service spoiled an otherwise delicious meal for me. In my past visits, I remember getting a fresh orange at the end. However, when I asked if I could have one tonight, the manager adamantly refused to serve me the orange I had come to expect from past visits. According to him, only people sitting at the bar receive an orange at the end; people seated at the tables do not. I didn't understand as the price to sit at a table or at the bar is the same. I felt the customer service could have been handled a lot better but frankly this "restaurant policy" ruined my night despite the great food. read more

Truly upset right now with sushi sake. Avoid this place if you have children because they will not accommodate. We intended to come here for a nice Father's Day dinner but was told that we could not have a stroller in the restaurant. That would be fine but we have a sleeping toddler in a light weight stroller that prob only take up one seat space. We are not going to wake her up just so we can have dinner. This is a ridiculous! This the first time in my life we have ever been asked to put our stroller back in the car at a restaurant, no less with a child in there! So of course we left and went else where. I understand if this is some fancy 5 star restaurant but it's not. And yes yelp indicated that this place is not kid friendly. But a lot of other places says that too but they are very still very accommodating with high chairs and all. read more

While the food is extraordinary, the customer service is abysmal. You can't even wait in the lobby, masked, for your reservation or get a drink. Told to wait in our car til our party is "complete". read more

Hmmmm. The uni was very good, the salad tasted fresh and the dressing was refreshing, not overpowering. This seemed like a great place to satiate my long overdue craving for decent teriyaki. Bleccchhh. This was seemingly boiled (claimed to be grilled) chicken with really nasty teriyaki sauce thrown on after it was cooked. Bleccchhh again. Vegetables on the side were very yummy. Worse than the chicken was the waitress' response. When I voiced my displeasure about the presentation, flavor and texture, along with it being totally different than expected. ... she replied "that's the way we make it here". My girlfriend asked if it was grilled, the waitress said yes..... really??? See pic. I've had sashimi that looked more grilled than this. My girlfriend got the volcano roll. It had scallops. They were a tad chewy. Not impressed. Salmon sashimi, vegetables, and the salad were the hilights. Uni was much better than expected too. Might return, but won't order anything cooked, and no scallops. Sushi roll was ordered since I couldn't eat the chicken. ... actually the rice in the roll and the seaweed wrap were way better than average. Normally I order soy paper, but forgot. This seaweed was excellent. -2 for chicken and service. .. otherwise about 3.5 stars. read more

Sushi Sake - Disgusting. I've had better teriyaki from a vending machine at a little league game. - Japanese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Everything about this meal and the ambiance was sublime. Lovely decor, fantastic food (details later), and a bizarre mixed service experience. Food: fantastic fresh sushi across the board (including best urchin ever), superb udon (fresh chewy and springy noodles, much like Monkey King, and perfect beef broth), crispy succulent tempura, very good volcano roll, and serviceable miso. Decor: modern, and comfortable dining room, contrasting with traditional sushibar with large blackboard specials everyone (the little fried crabs were sold out )-: ) in the place can see. Service: excellent, except for our primary waitress. Here's why: me: may I have a cucumber slice for my water? waitress: no me: why? waitress: we don't have cucumbers me: yes, you do waitress: no cucumbers me: really? waitress: ignored me, moved on to take next drink order She was 40ish, with jet black hair, and never smiled. She wore a black outfit, and was mean as hell. Even the bus guys were scared of her, not good. Avoid her if you possibly can. Instead, try to ask for the nice respectful waitress dressed in the traditional pastel silk robe. Go here, eat sushi, be happy, And for your own well being, serenity, and peace of mind, don't forget to avoid the dragon lady waitress. read more

Me and my fiancé Keli came here for dinner and were completely surprised by how beautiful and organized everything was inside. This location is very busy but we must've picked the perfect time and we're seated in five minutes within another two minutes we had hot steamy towels for our hands. Everyone is dressed in appropriate attire for service authentic to Japanese cuisine. 8 sushi chefs working at the bar was very impressive , their creations were beautiful. We had the sushi sampler spider roll Louisiana roll two house salads all of which were phenomenal. The fresh sushi they have is some of the best around the fish was so fresh it literally melted in my mouth. The service was spectacular in keeping my belly full and my glass full as well as being fun. So happy we found this hidden gem in our neighborhood what a great place to eat. read more

Went here for my bday dinner and I called to make a reservation for 6--they said..do you have kids? I said yes cuz my mom decided to bring my neice and they said that I can't make a reservation anymore. Called and told my mom and univited my neice so we were able to reserve a spot. When we got there I realized why..it was a tatami room in the back! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatami (like this but cooler) http://www.ginkojapaneserestaurant.ca/images/resturant_environment/tatami_room_1.jpg We were the only party back there so it was really nice. The service was excellent and the food was good. I ordered for everyone and we only spent $100 total including service charge and tax. (note that we all drank water) read more

I can't get tired of this place! My all time favorite place! I haven't been here in awhile, but I finally dined here last night! My favorite dishes I always always get... 1-hotategai butteryaki: scallops with mushrooms and asparagus. 2-Beef tataki- seared beef with ponzu sauce 3- green mussel- mussel mixed with japanese mayo and green onions topped with smelt roe! This place is always crowded night and day. One of the top sushi places in Dallas. If you haven't visited, then you missed out. Oh wells, more good sushi for me! read more

We went to Sushi Sake today for the first time because a coworker had raves about it. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice, but the service and the sushi was lacking today. Our server was difficult to catch, and when she would stop by our table, she'd run off while we were in the middle of asking a question or making a request. Then, once the rolls arrived, I feel like they weren't rolled tight enough because as soon as you tried to pick them up, they just disintegrated into pieces. The tempura and spider rolls were delicious, even in clumps, though. The california and the spicy tuna, though, were super bland. I couldn't figure out if it was that the rice wasn't seasoned properly or if other places just Season the seafood before wrapping it, but even soy sauce didn't help. I will definitely give it another try, though. Everyone has an off day, and they were super busy at lunch today, so we'll see how the next trip goes. read more

Wow, so, since you guys described this place as "casual," I guess I was envisioning what "casual" means for a sushi place in California (that is, a mom-and-pop hole-in-the-wall). Luckily, I was dressed decently enough to not feel awkward, but the fancy decor (someone spent a LOT of money decorating this place) definitely caught me by surprise. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm back in Dallas now, and Dallas has a toooootally different definition of the word "casual." So, yes, I was totally blown away by the ambiance. It's dimly lit with lots of candles. This is NOT your average sushi bar, which I should I have figured since it gets consistently 5-star reviews. However, I think that most of those reviews are (as I was) so dazzled by the ambiance that they aren't really being too picky. God, who wouldn't love being here? Rather than wait for a table, we opted to be immediately seated at the sushi bar, which was a fabulous decision. We got to chat with the sushi chef (who was from Japan, so that's good to know) and ask him what all these different types of fish were. (I've eaten a LOT of sushi but generally stick to my favorites of eel, salmon, tuna, etc...yes, I know, I'm boring.) Anyway, we decided to branch out, and I tried everything from raw octopus ("the best" according to our chef, although I thought it was rather tough and tasteless) to raw sea clam (which I coated in wasabi after my boyfriend warned me how nasty it was). I really enjoyed the raw squid, so don't think I'm just hating on all the exotic stuff. The only fish I can comment on with any degree of authority and experience are the basics, so here goes. The eel roll was good. The salmon sashimi was good. The albacore tuna sashimi was okay. The spider roll was good. The scallop roll was okay. Note that I'm saying "good," not "great" or "amazing." Overall, the quality of the fish was decent, but not outstanding. Then again, I've been spoiled by four years in California, where you can get AMAZING sushi from nondescript little mom-and-pop restaurants without breaking the bank. Sushi-Sake was a little pricey considering the quality of the fish. If it had been Bay Area quality, I would have been fine with paying that much, but they're just taking advantage of the fact that you can't GET California-quality freshness in Dallas. {sigh} do you know what you're missing??? Oh, and don't waste your money on the tempura "fried" ice cream (it's not really) or the inexplicably unsalted edamame. ~~~~~~~~~~~ One side note for Brennan and Chris: we sat next to Mr. and Mrs. McDoucheston at the bar. I won't go into details, but Mrs. McDoucheston actually said at one point, "I just don't want to be around anyone who doesn't appreciate me, you know?" To which Mr. McDoucheston replied, "Yeah, totally." The McDouchestons apparently frequent this place, because they knew that they could demand "REAL wasabi" from the sushi chefs when they were presented with the paste stuff. The sushi chefs begrudgingly pulled out a tiny box of "REAL wasabi" and plopped some on both their plates. read more

This place is in probably the most secluded spot you can find in Richardson. Despite their location, it always seems to be packed when I go. Sushi sake is probably my favorite sushi spot so far in Dallas and it's easy to see why a lot of people like it. Really like the decor in this place. Everything down to the waiters/waitresses outfits gives it an authentic Japanese feeling; and even the way you eat your miso soup (save yourself the embarrassment and don't ask for a spoon like I did lol) We started with beef tongue which was really tasty and tender. After that we got the sushi and sashimi combination along with additional rolls and uni. The sushi and sashimi combination is really meant for one person but we found we could share with two and supplement with some side items. The sushi here is always very fresh and clean. There's none of that super fishy taste that some places have. Even the salmon roe sushi (which I dislike in general) was not overly fishy. One recommendation that I do have is to try the volcano roll topped with scallop. It's probably the best volcano roll I've ever eaten. As with all good sushi places, the price is a little bit higher than average but definitely worth it in my opinion. The service and the food is always on point. read more

Sushi-Sake pretty much delivers with fresh and great quality sushi. The boo and I got the sushi & sashimi combination with some Uni nigiri. It was the first time we would be trying some Uni so we had no idea what to expect. The Uni was a pleasant surprise. Texturally, it was like egg yolk from an over easy egg. There was some slight hints of saltiness and like what everyone says, it "tastes like the ocean." The sushi & sashimi combo comes with around 6 sashimi slices of tuna, yellow tail, and clam. The Nigiri portion is an assortment of salmon, white fish, yellow tail, octopus, and others. It also comes with a california roll. The place is pretty authentic. you sit at tables with other customers. It really gives it a "homey" feel to it. Sushi-Sake is a really nice authentic sushi joint, not offering crazy maki rolls that hide the essense of the fish. I would go here if you truely want to indulge in fresh and great quality sushi. If you want to just feast on rolls, go to Tokyo One or Japan House. read more

Sushi Sake - BEST SUSHI IN DALLAS. The salmon melted in my mouth and the Agi fish was delish! - Japanese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

At the end of a completely beaten path is where you'll find Sushi Sake. For years I've heard of this restaurant. It is THE sushi joint that all the Dallas sushi chefs travel to after-hours. In terms of freshness of fish and authenticity of cuisine, Sushi Sake delivers. The minute you walk through the exterior curtains, you are greeted by a friendly hostess and seated promptly in the dimly lit dining area. Let the mood music settle you in because you're in for a treat. As a starter, I had the Niku Tofu. Ohmygawsh. This dish is on-point. It comes out in a hot pot, large pieces of tofu floating in a silky beef broth, green onions, enoki mushrooms and thinly sliced beef. I was told this dish is a house favorite and I see and taste why. The Kogani Kara Age (small river crabs deep fried) were decent. I've had better. Next came the Aji (Spanish Mackerel) sashimi, Hamachi (Yellowtail) sashimi, Salmon sushi and Nabeyaki Udon. All fresh, all melt-in-your-mouth delish. Chives were rolled in with the Aji and served with ponzu sauce. Just the way it's supposed to be served. The Hamachi was cut thick and silky smooth. In all I would highly recommend Sushi Sake. I'm glad I finally listened to all those people and ventured out, because the trip was well worth it. read more

5 stars all the way! I had passed by this place several times. It is tucked behind a shopping center all by itself, but that is part of the charm. It looks like a cute little house. If...I mean when you go for dinner, make sure you go when they open around 5:00 or 5:30pm at the latest because the wait will be long. The traditional Japanese decor set the tone for what we were about to experience. We were warmly greeted, and seated at one of the communal tables, where they can seat others with you. There are also individual tables, as well as seating at the Sushi Bar. The bar was very impressive, as it has several chefs behind the counter doing their thing. They have a board with special plates that are available, and I highly recommend checking it out. We tried a couple of rolls, including one with crawfish that was amazing! We eat sushi a lot, and this is by far one of the best restaurants in Dallas. It is a great experience, and well worth checking out. read more

Sushi Sake - Japanese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Authentic. There's only one and it's actually operated by Japanese people - so you know it's legit. VENUE: Cute tiny place hidden away in Richardson - a bit difficult to find but once you do you'll be kind of glad it's hidden away, otherwise it would CRAWLING with people. It's NOT the stone horse. Atmosphere is cozy and intimate. Good for private business meetings or dates. I came with my good friend and we just chatted comfortably. FOOD: Definitely recommend the fried tofu - it's different from taiwanese style. It has a perfectly crispy layer of skin but the inside soft tofu. All swimming in a sauce that is perfectly balanced between sweet and salty. The udon noodles are chewy and cooked to perfection. Seriously. I don't know how else to describe how amazing the texture is - its like you're eating meat? only they're noodles. Lol. What i mean to say is, you wouldn't know they were noodles if it weren't for the shape, because they taste so good - like they could be meat? Sushi rolls are FANTASTIC. Rice is actually soft, fish is FRESH. I recommend their Cali roll - for some reason is just tastes SO MUCH BETTER here than anywhere else i've tasted. Also the spicy tuna was super good. SERVICE: Our server was very polite and courteous. Always made sure our waters were full and cleared away our empty dishes. Didn't wait long in between orders of food and we were treated very well. read more
