These were amazing. Also got the sesame chicken which was really good. The chicken was nice and crunchy. Also got the lamb skewer. This was okay. The flavors were all there but they need to work on this one. Has potential to be really good. Value(A) I got two appetizers and a dish for $36 including tip and tax. You can probably spend $25 and get out of there and be full. Note I had leftovers. Service (A) I want to give to them an A+ because the server was super nice and helpful. But that food came out in wrong order and lamb took a while. The food was fresh since it was hot. Note I went around 2pm on a Monday so there was only 1 other table. I could see this service taking a while when full. It's a small place and the exterior is crap. But the interior is really nice It's a good place, go off hours and you should no problems. It's worth it and the other reviews seem accurate. Give them a shot

The feeling of numbness for some reason makes the food very appetizing. It's a big portion, where you can probably bring it home for leftovers. Skewers are also an option here as a nice aside. There is a variety of alcoholic options, including wine, liquor shots, beer, and sakes. The drinks are great with the games they have in the restaurant and the ambiance.

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.

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside experience is as authentic as it gets…read more Sashimi was fresh and expertly cut with subtle but complex flavors and textures. If it's in season I'd highly recommend the super white tuna, in addition the yellow tail, and salmon were our group favorites. The octopus was not chewy but tender and fresh. Miso soup was not overly salty, nor tasted like water. The shumai tasted pre-cooked with an onion flavor but who goes to a Japanese restaurant for shumai? All of the sushi rolls were balanced and much higher grade than anything you'd get at a refrigerator in a market place. What sets the food apart is they serve sushi freshly made so it's the correct temperature though you do have to wait a while for the sushi chef to make your selections if it's a busy day. Just don't come here if you are in a rush as it's not a fast food restaurant. The sukiyaki was not greasy and tasted sweet/savory just like how my grandmother makes it only they used a lean stir fry beef cuts while my grandma would choose a fattier thinly sliced beef. Not many Japanese restaurants serve sukiyaki like this in a ceramic pot so it's probably worth trying this dish alone as it was a staple in my Japanese household. The tempura was crispy and not oily, I believe they use Panko bread crumbs to make it light and crunchy. If you come in a big party you can reserve the private room surrounded in oak paneling and a sliding privacy door. You'll have to take your shoes off and sit flush with the floor on seat cushions for a Japanese experience. If you order Japanese soda, you'll be using a small plunger to push a glass marble into your bottle to open the ramune. Only thing I missed trying out was the Japanese beer and saki, but I give high ratings to this place for the Japanese food and service.

Food 4/5 Service 4/5…read moreAmbiance 3.5/5 Oishi is a pretty tucked away Japanese food restaurant right outside of downtown Madison. The restaurant itself has a lot of heart in its decoration and looked fairly well kept, though there were quite a few house flies the day I came, which was a bit of a bother. The food itself came out quite nicely - the sashimi was clearly fresh, and the food in the salmon hibachi lunch bento I ordered all came out well. Nothing too particularly fancy or unique, but also nothing bad to say either. Just some good food. And sometimes, good, consistent food is all that matters in life. Granted, I need to visit more before I can really judge if they are truly consistent. But what I had in my time there was truly good food.

Given this is the only izakaya in Madison, I can see why the skewers were somewhat pricey here. Aside from skewers, we got the spicy miso ramen and omule rice. The spicy miso ramen was so spicy that I couldn't really taste though food though my friend had no issues with it. The omule (omelette) rice was amazing. You can adjust the amount of ketchup, brown sauce, and Japanese mayo. They have a QR code to order with, which makes things convenient. Vibes were great with a variety of sitting options, and decor was representative of Japanese culture.

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. There's a rule against wasting food, so leaving the rice would warrant a $1 charge for each item wasted. Time limit: 1.5 hours

I've tried it out a few times since they (seemingly) transitioned and today solidified that it's no longer worth going to.

There were only 3 other diners in the restaurant. There appeared to be at least 4 servers and 4 cooks working. The waitstaff sat in the bar folding napkins and talking. I understand needing to do side work. I do not understand bringing two diners their meals 15 minutes apart. The food itself was just ok.
