The sushi was incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every bite.

Was hungry after touring 2 Frank Lloyd Wright sites and felt like sushi so I was happy I had…read morebookmarked Sake Sushi. Located on the West side of Madison, and I was already half way there. The neighborhood is nice and Sake Sushi is located in a small plaza, however I almost missed it since it is located on the side of the plaza and was not visible from the street. Inside I found an interesting mix of decor, it seems like a traditional Asian restaurant with white linen tableclothes and also some very modern touches including neon strip lighting along the ceiling and a variety of light fixtures. Overall a bit of a mishmash that would be better if they picked one style and stayed with it. I got there in the late afternoon so the place was empty at first, I was seated and given the menu which allows you to fill out what you want. The menu is fairly similar to other AYCE sushi places I have been at. Of note is that at dinner you can order up to 15 pieces of sashimi without an extra charge. I ordered a nice selection of sashimi, some sushi, a couple of different maki rolls, the salmon skin salad and the seafood soup. Interestingly the sashimi and sushi came out first, then the maki rolls, then the soup and salad. The sashimi was very good, fresh with nice sized pieces; the nigiri sushi had a nice portion of seafood to rice. I was a bit disappointed with the seafood soup, just a bit under seasoned and too much bean sprouts. The salmon skin salad was excellent with nicely roasted smoked salmon skin mixed with a bit of eel sauce, delicious, crunchy and one of my favorites that you don't see everywhere. I also enjoyed the scallops sashimi, large fresh raw scallops with a nice delicate flavor and texture. The maki rolls were good as well, nicely sized with plenty of filling. I did really enjoy the Super Lobster Roll with shrimp tempura, cucumbers, avocado then topped with lobster salad; the lobster salad was a nice treat, although I think it was made with lagostino lobsters it was still tasty. I also liked their version of spider roll, the soft shell crab was crispy and flavorful. I enjoyed my meal at Sake Sushi, dinner was $30 for all you can eat. The sushi and sashimi were very good, of course not quite the same quality as the best sushi bars but pretty close. Service was good and there are plenty of choices, including noodle dishes, fried rice, hibachi and tempura. The decor is a bit of a miss, but nothing that will keep you from enjoying your meal. Well worth a try if you are hungry and feel like some sushi and Japanese food.

Most recent visit December 2025 First visit Labor Day 2024…read moreReview of 4 stars encompasses all visits. The needs improvement: Bathroom lacks hot water. Soap dispenser was suspect. The good During my 2025 winter visit they respectfully placed all the unhoused/homeless individual belongings in a bag and put it to the side. This shows empathy, heart and respect. The bad: Kid visited without me and they were charged an excess fee for broth left behind on ramen. This is wild. The best thing you can get: Tempura shrimp (not greasy, light and flavorful) ** Sushi. I partook December 2025 and can't stop thinking about how filling the role was and tasty and made fresh + fast. The rice just rolled into my mouth while everything was done well. 1 roll was filling that's how thoughtfully curated it was made. Both time service was good but the most recent visit the service was personable and talkative which I welcomed as we shared an affinity for their tempura shrimp. Great value for what they offer. I'd much rather have this buffet setup akin to the Italian buffet setup versus a hot bar with stale food. Make it to order. Great variety.

The Appleton and Madison special rolls are also elite picks. Would probably not get the crab Rangoon or shrimp tempura special roll (too sweet) next time. The yakisoba leans heavy into Chinese-American cuisine (sweet + savory) which I enjoyed. My friend recommends either the yakisoba or udon and does not recommend the hibachi or teriyaki. Scoop of ice cream to end. The appetizers + dessert had smaller portions than expected, but the rolls + nigiri/sushi had very generous portions. Will definitely be back!

There were also fried gyoza, egg rolls, cantaloupe, edamame and cakes. One of the people in our party has dietary restrictions and couldn't eat as much because of the mirin in the sushi rice.
