Worst sushi restaurant ever. Spent $ 70 on sashimi that tastes like it was caught a month ago. The fish is not fresh and you can immediately tell. Such a waste of money

I tend to jump straight to the sushi or sashimi when I visit Sakae. But this time round, I realised that the appetisers were pretty tasty too, and in fact better than few of its sashimi items. For instance, the Asari Miso($ 6.29) were tiny springy clams seasoned in miso paste that dominated the flavour. Perhaps I was the only one at the table who enjoyed the stickiness of the Ika Okura($ 6.29) – ladyfingers mixed with squid. It was a light dish without need for extra seasoning. The Honey Sakura Ebi($ 6.29) is simply a pot of sweet crunchy prawns that are so good for snacking that I doubt nobody will dislike unless he/she is allergic to crustaceans Marinated with soy and vinegar, the silvery sashimi($ 4.29/3pcs) already has a mild sourish and salty taste, so I suggest you to enjoy the original flavour without soy sauce. there is the seared katsuo on sushi rice($ 4.29/2pcs) that had a fishy metallic taste, though some soy sauce and wasabi did help the wash off lingering fishy-ness. Oysters fans may be delighted to know that there are mouthwatering raw oysters from Hiroshima here at $ 8.29(4pcs). I am not a fan of oysters but those who did found them fresh and delicious I always thought that Sakae Sushi only served sushi but now it has a wider variety menu with some dishes like the Kohada sashimi and Smoked Duck Sushi that caught me by surprise but quality wise, there is much to catch up. For instance, The ramen tasted more like Korean style noodles rather than Japanese tonkatsu ramen. Both the Seafood and Wagyu Beef ramen used the same kimchi soup base that was not spicy. The mango pudding($ 3.59) can be misleading as it was actually made with apple and mango purée. For the pear pudding($ 3.59), the liquor was not strong enough but overall both are sweeter than average.
