Sake Cafe Uptown

After finding several other Asian restaurants either closed or by reservation only, because it was Christmas Day, we stumbled across the Sake. Feeling both hungry and adventurous, in we went, and promptly got a table. It’s a stylish if slightly dated decor, but perfect for a Japanese cafe. We are not big fans of sushi but noticed the menu had plenty of other options. It was pretty busy but our server, Quicha, brought water immediately and we ordered drinks. It’s a quiet but lively atmosphere, great for conversation. We ordered the Rock Shrimp Tempura and the portion was surprisingly large and extremely hot. The shrimp were delicious! I ordered beef teriyaki entree which came with a small salad and rice. As you can hear and see in the video, it came to the table sizzling hot. The teriyaki was outstanding - not too sweet as I often find in most restaurants. The rice was perfect, and equally hot. My husband got udon with shrimp and it was delicious. Because it was Christmas, they had many takeout orders, so we noticed a delay bringing our food, but Quicha did what any experienced server would do - she explained, apologized, kept us in drinks, and told them to stop accepting takeout orders so she could serve her customers better. Whether you love sushi or not, this cafe is a sure bet if you like Japanese cuisine. Highly recommended.

Very lovely walking in. We didn't like our first seat and the waitress was kind enough to let us move. The waitress was so sweet, attentive. and positive, i shouldve gotten her name! Her energy really made us feel so comfortable. The food was amazing and came out fast. The first hot sake that I've actually liked! I will definitely come back and can't wait to bring my friends.

Had the opportunity to visit this lovely restaurant and everything was amazing. While waiting with my sibling for the rest of the party, had a chance to talk to the owner who was so charming and also incredibly hilarious. Then was seated at our table with Hillary as our waitress and lemme tell y'all something. 📢 GET HILLARY TO BE YOUR WAITRESS. She is such a lovely person and she's very intelligent on what you'll love off the menu based on your tastes. She never steered me wrong and we all had a fabulous time.

Swanky Japanese restaurant/sushi bar on Mag st. I wanted some good sushi and they didn't disappoint. This place is large, two stories so they can accommodate big parties. The interior wasn't just normal sushi bar aesthetic and stood out in a mostly good way. The cooler case full of dragon blade knives and kunai was an interesting accent point though. I specifically came for mackerel. It happened to be HH, which I appreciated them having saba on special. Ordered a special roll as well, and while it was good, it was all about the mackerel. My only complaint was the service was kind of slow, given how empty it was at the time. I'd come back for more Mackerel and to try some of their other options.

We were greeted and sat to our table immediately. Their house wine is exceptional, the edamame was undercooked a bit, but it was still decent. The chicken pad Thai was pretty good, snow crab salad was excellent, and my son said the calamari was the best he has ever had. We ordered several rolls, and all of them were delicious. Our service was on point! Watch out, they do add gratuity to small tables.

must have proof of vaccinations! unsure if outdoor seating was available because we went on a rainy day so the tables i did notice outside were obviously empty. stopped in for a quick bite since we both agreed on sushi. this is probably our 4th time coming here and it’s been consistent in the food / service & drink department every time. variety of dishes that cater to ppl of all diets. our servers have been very welcoming & professional and delivers in a timely manner. the ambience is very authentic to Japanese heritage which is very much appreciated. handicap accessible, free parking in secure lot but must remember your license plate upon arrival! xtra clean clean bathrooms <3
