Sake Japanese Restaurant

The place looks a bit sketchy from the outside, but once you walk in you'll be fine. The service was very fast and the employees were very kind. The menu is large so there are plenty of options to choose from. The spicy edamame was on point and the sushi was delicious. Definitely a hidden gem in Saugus that doesn't get enough love due to the beat down building structure that's not very inviting.

Absolutely excellent food. 10/10, would recommend. Try the sashimi! Note: They have a habit of bringing hot, wet hand towels to the table when you first sit down. Unusual, but actually kind of nice to clean your hands with.

Sake is always such a pleasure to eat at! My grandmother has been coming here for decades, and it’s been our go-to for lunch dates ever since I was little. The sushi is fresh, the miso soup is quite frankly the only miso I’ll ever love... and honestly, I don’t think I’ve disliked a single thing I’ve ever ordered here. Since I’ve been out of state for college, I always find myself missing the food (especially the vegetable tempura- you won’t find a crispier tempura anywhere else!) What makes Sake so special to me is that the staff always treats us like family. Even if it’s been months since our last visit, the owner at the door is always happy to see my grandmother and gives her a hug and a huge smile. This is truly a special place for my family, and the staff make it memorable every time with their delicious food and friendliness! I’ve been hearing on and off for the past several years that Sake is closing down. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I want to thank the staff and owner so much for everything. It’s been an absolute pleasure to dine at your restaurant all these years! Whatever the future holds, I’ll have fond memories of Sake and wish you all the best in life. <3
