Sake Sushi & Grill

Great place!!! Sushi is very very good and the Ginger Smash drink is amazing!!! Staff can be a little slow sometimes but not a big deal. I visit this place at least once or twice a month.

This is not a good place to go for sushi. The food is quite pricey for what they serve. The room is too dark and the atmosphere is depressing. Not a good choice to take someone out for dinner.

Okay so I’m kind of in love with this place.
I only go for their sushi because its the best in the area and I’ve never been disappointed.
If you can, go for the lunch special, Its 3 signature rolls for $ 33 (something like that) and comes with miso soup and their house salad
If its your first time going, DEFINITELY get the godzilla roll. I also recommend the Volcano roll, which comes out warm and has a crispy outer shell.
I’ve tried almost every sushi place and Sake is my #1

Had to wait over 20 mins for two rolls. Ridiculous never had to wait that long for two rolls. Rolls had imitation crab sticks. Not good at all.

Excellent sushi both on the nigiri and sashimi side! All very fresh and well prepared. Their robata grill items are fairly priced and very well done! And last, but not least the seared scallop appetizer is to DIE FOR!!! The only reason for the four stars is the service can be a little slow at times.

This place has very delicious and creative signature rolls that definitely do not disappoint!
I came here with my boyfriend for a late lunch. I really enjoyed the atmosphere in this restaurant and the service was great. We ordered a couple bottles of Sake and I loved the glass sake carafe used to keep the sake cool.
We ordered the Crab Ragoons and Edamame which was a great start to our meal. We both ordered one of their Signature Rolls and this process took us awhile because they all sounded good! I asked if the roll I wanted could not be deep fried as it suggested on the menu and they had no problem following this request. Taste and presentation are on point.
Overall it was a great sushi experience and we will definitely come back to try some other rolls.

This cute little sushi bar is the real deal! Super professional staff, inviting and comfortable seating, and really great sushi! Just discovered this gem and we will definitely be coming back! The prices are just right and although my sister and I stayed wayyy to long catching up, our waiter was very patient and totally took care of us until we walked out. Great experience! Love finding places like this!

First time trying sushi. A friend took me, they ordered. We got the green dragon, California rolls, and mango tango rolls. The Mango was my favorite!
The way was long but we’ll worth it. The staff is friendly with a good chill atmosphere.
Definitely try this place if you’re in the area! I’d go back again in the future.

My husband and I were craving sushi and we were near Schaumburg. This place is ok. I’m a little disappointed on how my dishes tasted, every thing tasted bland. I had the snow white roll, which the was a hint of sweetness to it, and the vegetables udon with tempura. My husband had the salmon avocado roll. what saved the udon for me was the pepper flakes. I’m too spoiled by the place in Des Plaines IL. They never disappoint me.

I have to say this is the best sushi place that I’ve ever been! So so good!
First of all, place is clean with nice décor. Service is great! I was kinda full already before I came to this place. But I still had miso soup and yellowtail roll. Miso soup was refreshing after walking all day in the city.
Sushi was served on the wooden tray, which I loved. Sushi was fresh and clean.
Definitely coming back with other friends who want to try new sushi place!

Had a group of 4 show up at 8pm. Although the place was only ¹⁄₃ full the service was a little slow. The food on the other hand made up for that shortcoming and it was well worth the wait.
Highly enjoyed a spicy tuna hand roll and the table split a dragon roll, mango shrimp roll, spicy tuna crunch roll, and a fire dragon roll.

Sushi might as well be a food group for me. I can be picky, and seriously, I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to know Sake is the real deal. After ordering the two-​roll lunch special, I was so surprised at how generous the overall meal was. The miso soup and salad that accompanied my two rolls hit the spot, and the mouthwatering Boston and Spider rolls almost looked too good to eat. Beautiful presentation, extremely fresh ingredients and enough sushi for two.
I’m also always a fan of places that include photos of their speciality rolls in the menu, because no two places ever make one roll alike. One could easily order up a storm off this menu! There was also a selection of pad thai and other noodles that looked equally delectable, and its easy to let your eyes be bigger than your stomach.
The interior of the restaurant is very simplistic, clean and modern. Our server was very pleasant and attentive, and the service alone deserves five stars. Sake is great for just about anything– to catch up with friends, have a date night or conduct a business meeting. Can’t wait to try it again the next time i’m in town!

This sushi establishment has a very charming interior. The staff were very friendly and happy and they didn’t try to cram us in the smallest table being that there were only 2 of us dining. Space is important to me. Upon entering, you’ll notice a sign with some alcoholic drinks special. They sounded great but I decided on some unsweet tea. I started with the ika salad and ordered 4 rolls to share: spicy tuna, Sapporo, spicy scallop, and the rainbow roll.
The ika salad was good. Nothing too surprising as far as flavors go. It tasted the same as everywhere else I have had them from. The rolls were also good. The spicy tuna actually had a good kick to it. It’s a pet peeve of mine to order something supposedly «spicy» and get an end product an infant could consume because it is not even slightly within the spicy category. The spicy scallop was good but I didn’t like how slimy the cucumber surrounding the scallop had made the rolls. The scallop pieces were falling out of the roll slices and I tried putting the entire thing in my mouth, only to feel like the cucumber rolled around the scallop not working out. I felt like it was a choking hazard. Either that or you have to dismantle the roll in order to eat it as it is not possible for me to get a bigger mouth. If I were to do it all over again, I would definitely skip that roll as it was my least favorite.
The sushi rolls were sizable and were reasonably priced. If ever in the area again, I would be most inclined to come back and try a different roll or 2. I had the chocolate and green tea mochi for dessert which were delicious. I think there were tiny pieces of chocolate chips within the chocolate ice cream. The presentation was very nice.
Service was excellent here. We had to have the check split in an odd way but she got it right the first time. Many thanks go out to our waitress for the wonderful and efficient service!

I’ve come here twice now with my family, and have left both times with mixed feelings. The sushi is all delicious– no complaints there. We have tried MANY of the rolls and they were all great– highly recommend sticking with that.
Unfortunately the main dishes did not meet the same standard. Their pad Thai was way too sweet and had too much sauce on it. The chicken teriyaki was overall a disappointment. On the menu next to the teriyaki dishes, there is a photo of a bento box filled with all of the typical goodies– sushi, salad, and tempura. However when the dish arrived, it was not a bento box at all. Just a regular plate of what looked like plain diced chicken breast drizzled with teriyaki sauce on top. My grandma who is Japanese and knows her bento boxes was not happy with this dish.
The service has always been good here, and the décor inside is very nice. I think we will come back again, but hope to see some menu improvements!

The husband and I wanted to do a simple and casual date night so we thought sushi would be the perfect compromise! At first it seemed odd since the restaurant is located on the corner of a small and quiet plaza, but we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in.
The atmosphere is a nice relaxing dim ambiance with semi private booths in the back. The prices are reasonable — around $ 7 for regular rolls and $ 13 for specialty rolls, and if you really want to go for it, $ 15+ specialty rolls. The hubs got a Tempura Udon which had a really nice broth. The tempura that comes on the side could use a dash of salt after frying, though.
I got the Tuna Natuto Roll and Spicy Salmon Roll. The Naruto Roll had beautiful large pieces of tuna, which I am all for! The cucumber wrapping, however, could have been thinner — although I love a good crunch of cucumber, the thickness made it difficult to eat each piece in one bite because it was way too big.
I’m not used to the Spicy Salmon Roll having the tempura crunch inside, but it was not a bad texture. In fact, that roll — though it’s just a regular roll and very simply made — was my favorite for the evening.
We also shared a Fire Pheonix Roll. It was a little hard to find a specialty roll that did not have either tempura something or crab meat in it — both of which I don’t like that much — but I may have to chalk that up to «then just don’t eat it.» It would be super nice to find a specialty roll that is vegetarian, though! In the end, the roll was still yummy and my husband liked it. The cream cheese inside the roll helped cut through the delicious heaviness of the crab and sauces.
I can’t wait to go back and try the grill — Totally recommend this place for a date night or casual outing!

My husband, Kyle, and I went here for the first time last night because we found it on Unilocal!It’s no surprise that they are rated so highly– Kyle actually said he doesn’t understand why they’re not all 5 stars!!! The environment is modern, but still very relaxing. We loved the décor and indoor arcitecture. The music was current pop, which we didn’t have a problem with since it wasn’t overly loud. All of the associates were so friendly and helpful! They just really seemed like they enjoyed being there, even with it being a little busy! The menu was excellently designed. It showed pictures of many of the items and the descriptions were easy to understand. We ordered three different rolls to share between the two of us (ended up taking on a little more than we could handle, so we brought some leftovers home). Our first roll was Godzilla. This roll came with shrimp tempura, crab, avocado, cucumber, cream cheese, and masago, then it was topped with crunch & spicy mayo and eel sauce. Those sauces were unbelievably delectable. I joked that if we were ate home I would, no question, lick that plate clean! This roll was a little filling, but we couldn’t just try one on our first adventure to this wonderful sushi kingdom! The next roll we had was the Dynamite. It was a fried roll that had cream cheese, spicy tuna and avocado inside. It was then topped with baked crab meat, scallop & eel sauce. Again, the sauce was incredible, but this roll overall was my favorite of the night! The insides just melted perfectly in your mouth while the toppings gave you a burst of flavor (with a hint of spice) that when mixed together was like God, Himself, created this masterpiece of joyfullness inside your mouth. I think that’s the best way I can describe it anyway. Moving on, at this point I was definitely full, but my stomach was DEDICATED. Our third, and final, roll was the Fire Dragon. This roll had shrimp tempura and cheese inside (can you guess we love shrimp) and then topped with salmon and white tuna before it was baked with a mysterious special sauce. We both excitedly shoved a roll in each of our mouths, only to realize the internal temperature was scalding! It was definitely just taken out of the oven… but we didn’t regret it because the sushi masters again created an amazing piece of art for our tastebuds. I only had that one piece and brought it home (and it still tasted incredible the next morning!!!)
The bottom line here– Kyle and I have gone to many, many sushi restaurants, as it is our favorite delicacy. Sake Sushi & Grill is hands down one of the BEST. We are very thankful that Unilocal brought us to this establishment and you can bet your butt we will be returning many more times! I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO COMPLAINTS! Thank you for all you do, Sake Sushi & Grill, and please don’t change one bit!

When you go from one popular eatery to another, you have to realign yourself with some sushi. That’s what we did. We stopped eating the heavy stuff and came here. I really liked the quality and service. They had some great rolls but I was craving the beef pad Thai. Glad I ordered it because the beef alone was excellent. Tender, juicy, and flavorful. The hot sauce wasn’t too spicy and complimented the noodles just the way I liked it.
And after this we walked next door to Portillo’s and had Italian beef sandwiches!!!

This was my first time here and it was really great sushi. We ordered 8 rolls and they were all delicious. We got all of them from the Signature rolls. Our favorite was the Colored Dragon. I would highly recommend that one and the Dynamite roll. Also, the house salad was really good as well. I love the dressing that goes on the House Salad.
The atmosphere was really nice. There was 6 of us and we had our own little area in the back. Our waitress kept checking on us and gave us a bottle of water to our table.
The prices are not as bad as well and they’ve daily deals. I would go back to this sushi restaurant.

This place is a nice surprise… 4 stars for friendly service, great value (regular rolls ($ 5-​$ 8/​roll, not specialty rolls $ 12-​$ 18/​roll), great location, and beautiful & modern décor.
Their regular rolls were surprisingly tasty and fresh. Edamame was perfectly salted (ask for less salt if you’re watching your sodium).
Overall a great place =)

I came here for dinner on a Saturday. It was not packed so my friend and I got seated immediately.
Agedashi tofu $ 6.50 — The fried tofu is on a plate and you have little soup to dip the tofu in. I didn’t like this as much compared to other restaurants. The portion was also small.
Spicy tuna roll $ 6.50 — it was ok.
Volcano roll $ 13.95 — Good presentation. Tastes ok. Nothing spectacular.
Costs — average-​higher end like any sushi restaurant.
Customer service — The customer service was good.
Not sure if I would come back… maybe to try other menu items.
