Sake Japanese Restaurant

I dropped in on a sunny weekday for lunch. The place was mostly empty. Service was quick and friendly. The sushi was delicious and fresh.
When I go for sushi by myself (my first choice for lunch while doing errands), part of what I look forward to is the calm ambiance and contemplative Asian environment that promotes mindful eating and engages all the senses. On the day I visited, a TV was playing The Price is Right, while the sound system ran what sounded like Ferrante and Teicher piano noodlings from the 70s. For me, this was a disappointment, though I’ll allow that many folks might not care, or even notice.
If I were having lunch with friends, Sake would be a good choice, since it’s not crowded, and on the assumption that conversation would make the background sounds less noticeable.

Unilocaled a place for dinner close to where we were staying and this Japanese joint came up and we decided to try it. It was pretty dead inside but we were hungry and didn’t care. The hostess was busy on the phone so the server helped us get seated. They bring you carrots and celery with a dipping sauce that tasted like their ginger dressing to snack on while you look over the menu. We ordered the 12 piece sashimi dinner which comes with salad and miso soup. The salad was good and refreshing with the ginger dressing. I did not taste the miso but the boyfriend said it was really good. I’m not really positive of what fish we got with our sashimi order since our server did not tell us like other places have, but they were all good. For sure we had tuna, salmon, yellowtail, octopus, and not sure what the other fish was. I really did like that the sashimi were cut in bigger sizes than anywhere else. We also ordered the chicken katsu and grilled squid. I ordered the katsu because I was thinking it was the chicken karaage. I was so disappointed because the chicken katsu tasted just like chicken fingers. I was also not impressed with the sauce it came with. The grilled squid, however, was really good. I really like that they charred it and you can taste the char. Overally decent place. Not sure about their sushi though.

Whenever I’m home and in the mood for sushi I order from this place. The menu has a variety of options and almost everything I’ve tried is delicious. The staff is nice and the service is really quick so you’ll never be waiting for hours. I’ve never sat down to eat at this place but the inside looks really quaint and although small has a good amount of seating. They deliver so if you’re not in the mood to drive over you can always give them a call. Some tips: parking is a bit rough on Washington St. so if you’re coming from far out take the Red Line to braintree and Sake is only a few minutes walk away!

Good place for some sake bombs and sushi. Our waitress was really accommodating. She replaced our beer glasses for bigger ones, so we could play. The scallop salad and spicy salmon salads were really good. There were chunks after chunks of seafood instead just imitation crab meat and cucumber slices. The sushi were pretty fresh as well.

Sake Japanese is the best sushi place in braintree hands down! I ordered online and it was really efficient and the guy showed up at exactly 12:45. The sushi was amazing im a vegetarian and i got the garden maki and the sweet potato maki they were both so good! My friend got the california and said it was amazing. Love Sake :)

Best place in Braintree, I especially like Shrimp Tempura maki and Celtic maki, the Spicy Baked Scallops is so delicious!

The best sushi i have ever had. All fresh sushi, great appertizer, great special roll. Sushi pizza delicious. Fast delivery also. High recomended. Five star for this review!!!

The sushi here is sometimes even better than in fancy places in Boston. I love the rose lady (warm salmon something), the volcano and their salmon house roll. The spicy tuna is also tasty! Wendy– the owner– is super friendly and helpful. We have been going here for three years and it never fails for Sushi. I wish they had a better wine selection, they have generic wine, that they don’t know much about!

I hate to write a bad review, but I feel like since I found this place on Unilocal,I should.
I came here for lunch around 1:30. And ordered one of the lunch specials (spicy tuna and spicy salmon) which came with Miso soup and salad. Soup was great and salad was pretty good, although the dressing didn’t taste like it was homemade. Still good though. The sushi, unfortunately, left a lot to be desired. Having had awesome sushi earlier this week at another restaurant, I guess my expectations were too high. The fish just didn’t taste fresh and I only ate half of what was on my plate. That’s not to say that the food was terrible, I think they may have just been having an off day of the reviews I read were true.
The décor and restaurant itself were nice – space was clean and inviting.
I may consider giving Sake another try again someday, but probably not anytime soon. :(

Love the sushi here, would recommend the rose lady maki. One thing that is deterring us from going to eat there is the music. Needs to change!

Miso soup was wonderful, pieces of mushroom and greens. Salad was just OK but sushi lunch special was great. Would cone back again.

I’m sure I will be in this area again for business and I would definitely come back for dinner. My co-​worker is vegetarian and was able to find a vegetarian Udon soup and roles to fit his needs. I had the Nabe Yaki Udon soup which is shrimp, chicken, crab meat, fish cake and veggies and the spicy salmon maki. I really enjoyed the Udon soup. The quality of the salmon was great. A smaller restaurant, but great portions, value and variety.

Even mediocre sushi is good sushi. Ordered here for lunch at work. Got the L3 lunch special, a Philly roll and a crazy roll. The fish didn’t taste bad, but it didn’t particularly taste fresh either. Too much cream cheese in the Philly roll, and the Crazy roll wad, unfortunately, entirely forgetable. The delivery driver was cool and the staff seem nice, but certainly not some of the better sushi I’ve tried. Still good, but below average with what I’m accustomed to.

I’ve eaten here twice. The sushi is fresh and tasty but the hibachi is where it’s at. The chef was really funny and entertaining. The food was really good a little salty but yummy. Our waitress was very nice and extremely attentive. We will definitely be going back

This was a nice place. sushi was good. i will come back and try more.

This is my go-​to sushi join near work. The team is super sweet. Service is great, and I adore the lunch specials. For under $ 12 I can get miso, salad, and a mix of sushi, roll, or tempura. While pregnant, my favorite has been L1 Make Combo: California roll and shrimp tempura roll.
I also wanted to put this out there, that this is a great place to get catering for the office. It’s cheaper then Panera and something different for the best team in the world.

I was surprised to find a place that has yummy sushi. The portions are a good size and they offer you celery and carrots at the beginning.
The sushi and maki rolls are soft and easy to chew off unlike other restaurants that the sashimi is very chewy, hard and extra cold. It’s like it’s been in the freezer for a few days. But this restaurant offers some great selections.
My fave is the baked scallop appetizer! Very delicious and great amount. Not too much spicy mayo and extra crunch from the enoki mushrooms. Even the seaweed salad has great portions.
The green tea fried ice cream is delicious. They give you a big scoop and the fried bread is thin. It’s not too thick like other restaurants and the scoop is usually small.
If you are around this neighborhood please try this place. I’m a very picky eater so I highly recommend you to try out this place. My cousins love the baked scallop appetizer too. They never had it before.
Also the spicy yellowtail maki is good, Red Sox, rose lady or whatever it’s called. The tabiko sushi is so yummy too. I’ll visit this place again if I’m back in town.
However the California roll is not as tasty.

Ordered from GH today and got super speedy and friendly delivery and amazing sushi (fresh fish, perfect amount of rice, and perfectly spiced).

Being an Asian and big fan of Japanese food, I must say that this is the best place for Japanese food in Braintree (though we do not have that many choices). The rolls are fresh and decent, I like their salad too. One minus point is the Yaki udon, my fav dish is off sometimes (most of the time its really good).
And they deliver too, fast :)

After striking down some of the sushi options in Quincy Center due to poor service and diminishing food quality, we are happy to have come across Sake! The place is busy but never packed so we are always seated immediately and the server is always attentive. We typically order edamame, tofu, and the seafood salad to start and an assortment of rolls to complete the meal.
The food is great, the rolls actually stay together, and the fish is MUCH FRESHER than many of the places in the south shore. We did have one miss when we decided to explore the menu and ordered the unagi (eel) rice bowl. The rice was hard and lukewarm at best and there literally was five pieces of unagi on top. Other than that, everything has been delicious!
