Burned Food, Slow Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was nice, rated a 4 out of 5. However, the service was a bit slow and disconnected.
My order was forgotten, and when I followed up, I was told it was still being cooked. It's unusual for a thin chicken breast to take over 30 minutes to cook. To make matters worse, the chicken was burned.
The food quality received a 3 out of 5, and the service also received a 3 out of 5.

Excellent Quality and Service for Gluten-Free Needs
My experience at Sakesan was wonderful. The quality of the food is consistently great, and they are incredibly helpful with our special requests, especially regarding our Gluten Free needs. We frequently order take out, but also enjoy dining in when time permits.

Good Sushi, Bad Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The sushi was very good, but the undercooked eggplant was a letdown. The service was friendly and efficient, and the room itself was beautiful.
However, the terrible music and three televisions significantly detracted from the overall atmosphere, bringing the place down four notches. I strongly suggest they remove the televisions.

Fun, Chill Spot with Delicious Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a fun and chill spot with delicious food. The vibe is super casual, and the service was fast and friendly.
I was impressed with the great prices, especially their deal of 1 dozen oysters for $12. They also offer private rooms with karaoke, which are perfect for groups and fun for all ages. I'll definitely be coming back!

Karaoke Room Fun with Food Wins
This was my second time in a karaoke room, and I really wanted it to be great. I booked 3 hours in the 12-person karaoke room. Unfortunately, there were tech issues in the beginning, with song words not playing on the big screen and a dead mic.
Throughout the session, some song background music was so quiet the singer couldn't hear it even at full volume, while others were super loud. Some background music stopped halfway through a song for no reason, and another mic died. There really isn't enough space to maneuver up front.
Although there were plenty of songs in multiple languages, there were no Spanish songs. However, the food was so good, everyone had a great time, and the air conditioning was on, so even though we were jammed packed, the air felt comfortable. It's hard to find a karaoke room so close to my home, so I may be back, even with the challenges.

Disappointing Food and Service
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I ordered the chicken teriyaki for my niece, who has food allergies, hoping she could safely enjoy a meal with us. After a challenging time finding parking, we were looking forward to a relaxing dinner.
However, my niece quietly mentioned her food didn’t taste right. Upon trying it ourselves, we found it to be bland and not appetizing at all. She's shy and didn't want to complain, but I paid $18.
50 for a basic dish that completely missed the mark. When I brought this to the staff's attention, they acted as if I was the problem rather than offering a solution. My intention was simply to include my niece and ensure she had something safe and decent to eat.
The food and service were really disappointing.

Incredible Rolls & Phenomenal Lamb!
My experience at this restaurant was truly impressive! The food quality was on point, and I would happily reorder most of the dishes. The Volcano roll and Godzilla roll were incredible, and the lamb shank was phenomenal.
The tuna tacos were so fresh. I'd get everything again, with the exception of the chicken katsu. The takoyaki is definitely worth getting.
The service was also incredible and very attentive. Lastly, the food came out quickly, which added to the overall positive experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Creative Japanese with American Twists
Hands down, this is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants. They are incredibly creative, offering Japanese versions of American favorites like jalapeno poppers. The avocado bomb is delicious, as are all the rolls we've tried.
I plan to order from here as long as I live in this area! The uniqueness of the menu is striking; having studied in Japan, I believe this place would be immensely popular in Tokyo.

Wonderful Christmas Dinner Experience!
Came here for Christmas with my family and we had a great time! This is our second time here and won’t be our last! We came around 5pm, we got a reservation, and we were seated right away.
We first ordered from their happy hour menu and then their regular menu. My favorite dish was their sashimi, the hamachi carpaccio, and their Inside out roll. Their sashimi is super fresh and was so delicious.
The dishes came out pretty fast & service was wonderful! Everything we ordered: Takoyaki, Crispy mushroom, Dynamite mussels, Godzilla Roll, California roll, Inside out roll, Dragon roll, Lobster roll, Hamachi carpaccio, Albacore tataki, Rainbow roll, 8 piece sashimi.
