I've been a customer since the day they opened . Maybe the bus boy was cooking. Egg roll: bland shredded cabbage w/no shrimp no egg no seasoning, wrapped in cardboard. Shrimp in Lobster Sauce: Thin watery disgusting gruel w/old over cooked shrimp. Spare ribs: nothing but fat and gristle. I have never gotten food from them that was so AWFUL. So very sad, we used to love this restaurant. When I called and spoke to someone they knew immediately I was a frequent customer but seemed totally uninterested in lack of quality coming out of the kitchen. read more

Went for lunch on a Saturday in March with a friend. We both ordered the Bento Box lunch as i have many many many times previously. The food is ok, except the soup is always cold and i always ask repeatedly for the soup to be heated. On this visit, there was a charge of $1.75 on the bill for each soup. We have never been charged for soup with the lunch before. I asked the server and he said that the only soup that is no charge is Miso soup. The hot and sour soup is extra. That is NOT the way the menu reads and is incorrectly and confusingly presented. We have never ever been charged for soup previously in maybe 50 visits. I asked for the owner and she took a very hard line that there has always been a charge for soup but admitted that the regular server had failed to charge for it. AND there are two soups that are no charge...The Miso soup AND the Egg Drop soup which is contrary to what the server said. With the confusion over the way the menu is written and many prior visits with a different billing, i would have expected the owner to respond in a more good regular customer service manner. A line was drawn in the sand and i will never return. The old saying... Treat a customer well and they will tell a few people... Treat a good customer poorly and they will tell everyone. read more

Food, Service, And Ambiance are always great! We have been coming here since they opened!

Terrible service!! Made us pay for food that we could not eat. So much garlic it was inedible

Nice ,cozy restaurant located on shopping center across from the Koons in Toyota in Westminster . Service was great. Food was delicious. Highly recommend to check it out. Plenty of parking read more

Large portions. Quality ingredients. But not very spicy or flavorful. Lunch specials are a good deal. To go part of restaurant was very busy. I might a just ordered badly. Had the Kung Pao shrimp lunch special (food and an egg roll). Egg roll was smaller than usual. read more

Asian Sakae - the interior of a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

The udon noodles was a miso base, so light on the flavor it was nearly flavorless. The general tso's chicken was a tiny bit of chicken mixed with a bread filling, and very disappointing for being so. Their plain tuna and salmon rolls were good though, no complaints there. The service was very quick and the ambiance was alright. The floor could have been cleaner. First and last time being here. read more

This was my first sit down dinner in this restaurant. I came before for takeout and waited a really long time for a simple order. Turned out that the kitchen forgot my order but the guy taking my order gave me a 10% discount for my next visit. Tonight I came in and the place was half empty, but it filled really quick. Ordered some simple dishes and I would say the food was four star, hot, tasty, nice crunch and spices. I finished eating about 15 minutes ago and my waiter is no where to be seen. When he finally came and brought my check, he disappeared again. The restaurant is packed, people are standing and waiting to get in, and I am taking up a table for 6. Since I had most of dinner left over, I had to box it myself which is a first. Sad to say, this place gets crossed off my list. read more

I've had bad sushi before but nothing like this ever. Maryland roll is literally tuna fish, from a can, w a dash of seasoning. Ate one piece, threw the rest in the trash. Two stars because the dumplings were ok. read more

I got the general tsos chicken. My favorite and the quality of it is sub par. It has flavor but only for cheap tasting chicken. Service is usually quick and easy. But at this moment until the quality of the food doesn't improve its my second and last time ordering here. read more

Best crab wontons and bbq spareribs in town. Automatic go to whenever we decide on Chinese.

Great food. The service was excellent. You must try the combination drunken noodle warning it's spicy.

Positives first: the sushi is fresh and tastes good. Negatives: their prices are overblown most likely due to their rent being high and business struggling these days to make it in our shared economy. I do love their hot & sour lemongrass soup. I had a spicy scallop handroll with Ikura on top which was good but $$$. Also ordered the salmon & eel sashimi. The salmon cuts were small here. Look I was desperate for sushi in Westminster and I didn't feel like driving to J&Y Tokyo Market in Eldersburg (#1 in CC) but it costs me for my convenient sushi habit this day. Basically I'm only going back for the soup and if I need my sushi crack. Very expensive here for what you order. read more

We ordered a pork lo mein, general tso's chicken, hot and sour soup, pork wonton soup, and crab wontons. The food was about average for American Chinese. However the hot and sour soup tasted burnt. Overall it was decent Chinese at decent prices. read more

Note: This review is several years old. The events described here occurred before I even knew about Yelp. I have truly no idea what it is like now. I am posting this to find out if anything like this has happened to anyone else. A somewhat large group of friends and I went into the restaurant. We hadn't really discussed doing this ahead of time. Our first big mistake was not having a lot of money, and assuming someone else in the group did. Alas, as we were seated and an older lady began taking our orders, we all ordered water. We looked over the menu and one by one, all somehow decided we didnt want anything to eat. This, rightfully, made the waitress angry. She said something to the effect of "if you're going to eat out, dont just sit down at a restaurant and order water."; entirely valid. None of us argued with her. Of course we tipped her - we hadn't meant to be rude. The juicy part comes about a year later. My would-be fiancé and I ate here after seeing a movie. I didn't notice at the time that the waitress was the same woman. We both got miso soup with our meals. I remember wondering why his was so yellow, while mine was brown. I ate it. It was somewhat sour and...smelled a little like pee. I ate more to be polite. I don't think I finished it. I immediately didn't feel well. As we drove home I asked what he thought of the miso. He said it was fine. When we got home, I puked. Objectively, I find this pretty cheeky. I'm not worked up about it, because it only caused me to suffer for a couple hours. It's still not a very good look for the place. I'm not sure what would have allegedly been in the soup to make me vomit. I'm happy that was the only effect. It's good to be reminded that every single kitchen ever isn't always reliable and safe. read more

We have ordered from here since they opened. Never had a bad meal, nor have we ever had any gastrointestinal issues from the food. Owners are friendly. Servers are courteous. It's standard American Chinese, but the sauces and spices are just a tad better than any of the other local offerings. Sushi is fresh and quality is consistent. I would eat here daily if I could afford it. read more

My favorite place for Sushi! I always get the same things. Either the Philly roll with regular salmon and shrimp tempura roll with spicy mayo (their mayo is my favorite, every place makes it different), or Singapore Noodle or Beef with mixed vegetables. The beef with mixed vegetables always seems so fresh and tasty. The larger portion is better. You seem to get a bigger variety of vegetables that way. I've been going there for 7 years and only once or twice have I gotten the wrong salmon, I don't like it smoked. The only thing I would change is the edamame seems to be cooked in the same pot as the rice or something cuz I'll find rice in it. I think that's kinda icky. I don't like my prepared food to touch other different prepared food. I love the gyoza and it's always tasty big portions. I think it's unnecessary to put a paper Doily in the box tho cuz it sticks to the dumplings. The sauce to the gyoza has changed over the years. I love it either way. Everyone makes that different. Now I actually want Gyoza. But I already ordered a pizza. My boyfriend and I got there most Friday's and I absolutely hate when he wants to go to any other place for sushi. The rolls at Asian are the best tasting, best price and bigger rolls. read more

Love this place. We were eating in pre-covid. Carrying out for a while now. Food is excellent, especially in the dining room. They are very popular and generally busy... Totally worth any necessary wait! Recommend Tokyo maki, Crazy Girl, Black Dragon. So good read more

dont know what to say, was odering online once a week and love the food. Suddenly i cant pay online with credit card any more so im odering elsewhere. Would have got 4 stars at least. Fix this read more

I wish I could say my dinner this evening was a good experience. I've been to A.Sakae before and all was good but that was a while ago. I should have been tipped off upon entering an empty dining room at prime time on a Friday eve. The experience started when I ordered a corona and the server had to check if they had one. They didn't which wasn't a huge surprise since it's Asian not Mexican.... so no big deal. They did have a Sapporo....... a single Sapporo and that was the only beer in the house! Really, one beer? I ordered water to not be selfish just in case a real Sapporo preferred patron would happen by. I ordered my dinner without an appetizer as my memory reminded of the large portions from my last visit. So I waited for my meal. Another patron appeared while I was waiting. The server got their order and we both waited and waited. Finally food came out and I was ready for it. It was piled high just like I remembered. It was for the other table who arrived 15 mins after I did, so My wait continued. The server apologized for the wait and was telling me something through her Mask and heavy accent that I couldn't understand but I think by her body language she may have been explaining her disdain with the cook and I think she may have slugged him in the gut as part of the exchange . I nodded and said ok. 45 mins later my food came out with another apology. It was piled as high as I remembered. Couldn't wait for the first mouthful but I really should have. It was ok but just barely and it was piled high. Basically a huge amount of barely ok food that I felt obligated to do something with. I don't know what happened to this place but things have gone in the wrong direction for sure. I wish I could provide a better review but the experience was so disappointing...... this is really the best I can do. Sorry read more

In our office this is the number one place for takeout. Excellent food, consistent service, and large portion sizes. Using those 3 parameters, nobody beats them in Westminster. read more

Legit Chinese and sushi joint. Hard to find a place that does both well. Hot n sour soup and ichiban avacado, salmon, tuna and yellow tail roll is my go to. Kung Pao chicken is also great. Good bottled beer selection. read more

Asian Sakae - a long plate of sushi - Chinese Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

Probably the least fresh sushi I've ever had. Threw away one roll because I was honestly scared to get sick. I've never seen raw sushi brown.. I ordered spicy tuna it looked like squished dog crap. On top of that I paid $25 to throw away bad fish. Eat at your own risk, I'm extremely surprised this place has gotten so many decent reviews. read more

Unbelievable experience tonight! We have eaten here before. We love the Westminster Roll. Tonight my husband ordered spicy beef, $17.50, he asked for fried rice instead of white, $2.50 extra. Ridiculous! My daughter ordered the Incredible Roll, they brought the wrong roll had to wait for them to make the correct one. I ask for a sharp knife to cut the giant hunks of broccoli. She brings me a butter knife and says it's the sharpest knife they have. When the check came she explained that she automatically added 18%. Are you kidding me. I usually tip more than that but it's my choice how much I tip based on the service I received. I asked her if it stated on the menu that tip would be added. It does not. I asked her to bring me the bill without the tip added. She explained that sometimes people don't tip her and she has a family to feed so she's now adding it on to make sure she gets a tip. The manager tried to say they add the tip because of COVID. Are you kidding me....audacious! She did bring an amended bill and she joined a group of employees to trash talk and stare while I filled in my chosen tip amount and signed. Will NEVER return! Overpriced food and mediocre service. read more

Done. Been going here for about 6 years now but no more. Three strikes in a row and I'm taking my business elsewhere. Placed multiple orders online, they can never find them, never be able to tell that I have already paid. Sitting at a table now at 6:56pm for a pickup order that was supposed to be ready at 6:26pm. Just came out a second ago and it wasn't right... so again I wait. Good food, but the service is just so bad lately. Maybe I'll try again down the line, but it won't be any time soon. read more

Well I have always raved about this place in the past. As one of the best Chinese restaurants in Westminster area. But last night I ordered carry out and it was absolutely terrible. The egg rolls were actually burnt as were the spare ribs. The egg rolls were actually a deep brown color and rather empty inside. The spare ribs had to have the burnt crust scraped off in order to even try to eat them. If I did not drive all the way from HAMPSTEAD to get there I would have brought them back. The rest of the food (shrimp in lobster sauce and sweet and sour chicken ) was good. On the whole just very disappointing given all their business at this time is carry out. Hoping this was just a one time thing. But will wait until they open for eat in the next time. read more

No lunch special on holidays! No one was in there. Food is just not that good to act like that. Will never be back.

This place used to be good, but I'm going back 10 years. I keep trying to give it a second, third ... fiftieth chance, but now I'm done for good. I ordered carry out and was shocked when I went to pick up my order. I ordered Egg Foo Young, a Chinese staple, and was disappointed on more than when level. First, I discovered that they were charging me $5.20 more than their closest competition for the same size and quantity of food. That's HUGE!! These are the only people I know who charge for two separate sizes for Egg Foo Young. Don't fall prey to their scam to purchase the smaller sized one for $8.95 (Still higher than their competition's normal sized Large order). What they don't tell you is that they will give you 2/3 of the quantity for more than 2/3 of the price. But all of that wouldn't even matter as much if the food was even equal in quality to the competition, which it is not! The Egg Foo Young here is a 5/10. Local competition serves a much tastier version at a much fairer price. I don't patronize restaurants that overcharge customers because they think they can get away with it. I encourage everyone to shop around. You'll find that you get better Asian food for less elsewhere! read more

We placed Our traditional christmas eve order and after 1.5 hours they called to tell us they could not fulfill our order and remaining order would take another hour. Our option was to wait for an incomplete order or cancel. Our first Christmas eve without Chinese in over 30 years! I will never use them again! read more

We have eaten here many times and have most often been happy with the service and food. For the first time ever, we ordered for delivery. The food is delicious and delivery was fairly prompt. However, I only ordered for myself two rolls. Everything was delivered except for one roll that I ordered online. I wasn't charged for it, but that was supposed to be my meal & it definitely was on my online order. read more

I will say that Asian Sakae has outstanding sushi. During the Covid epidemic, we have been using restaurant delivery. Asian Sakae is very sporadic. Sometimes it comes quickly (we are only about 2 miles from the restaurant) and at other times we've waited over an hour and have had to call. The Japanese, Thai and Chinese foods are good. Always flavorful. I got chicken and cashews last night and I was disappointed b/c it was loaded with chopped celery and no other vegetables...well, I think I saw one carrot cube. There was plenty of chicken and the sauce was tasty, but overall it was a lackluster dish. I think AS is expensive. We got a small fried rice, my chicken, 2 small spring rolls, goyza, a pad thai and a drunken noodes and it was over $60. I do give a 15% tip and delivery was free. Their small fried rice is VERY small and the large (which I consider a regular size) is close to $15. That's a lot. We love the sushi but will probably go to Forbidden City in the future. read more

So I wanna like this place because it's close to where my fiancé lives. And maybe I should give them a second chance. I got carry out the other day. A spicy tuna roll and a rainbow roll. Nothing too crazy. My spicy tuna was dead on. Delicious and not terribly spicy. The rainbow roll was merely ok. Not the freshest fish, it was a total let down compared to the spicy tuna. Service however was super friendly and awesome. read more

We understand the cost of everything has increased but are very disappointed in our orders from Asian Sakae yesterday. The 'large' portions were very small and the containers weren't even filled. I ordered orange chicken, asked for very, very spicy. It was mild at best, included about 10 moderate sized pieces of chicken and 3 pieces of broccoli. My husband ordered chicken fried rice with pineapple, again asked it be very spicy which it wasn't. Had about 5 pieces of pineapple and the fried rice was greasy. We wonder how many companies are using the 'scarcity of food supplies' to hike the prices. The fact that the portions were small ($30 total bill) and mediocre at best - we won't be going back. read more

Wonderful service! I go here a couple of times a month but I wish I could go more! Sushi is amazing and the Thai food like the drunken noodles and panang curry is to die for! Favorite sushi rolls are the Maryland roll, Westminster roll, Black Dragon roll, and Sweet Mamba roll. Lo mein, crab rangoons, soups, and all their salads are great as well. I have had a problem one time, and they were very quick to fix it. Crispy beef and Mongolian beef are excellent. The duck dishes are great as well. read more

This restaurant is a happy replacement for the previous Chinese restaurant in the same location. Their sushi is fresh and portions large. The Chinese food is well prepared, tasty, and a wonderful addition to the community. I came from Brooklyn, NY where there were many great Chinese restaurants. Asian Sakae holds up exceedingly well in comparison to those places. I am not sure what has happened to previous reviews I wrote that detailed the various dishes my wife and I had, but rest assured, there are no clunkers on their menu. read more

Happened to be in the area and decided we were in the mood for sushi. The staff here is incredibly friendly. While the restaurant is small the menu is far from lacking. My wife and I are huge sushi fans and the quality of the food here is top shelf. The prices are comparable to any other sushi bar in the region, but the portion size is better than any other. read more

Best sushi around town!! They are very quick with delivery and carry out orders. It is also very nice to eat at the restaurant too. BYOB. Recommend the Westminster Roll! They offer brown rice on all rolls which is a plus! Huge sushi portions, but they also offer Chinese food options too. read more

For a place in a strip mall in Westminster, it's very good, and they have a fairly extensive selection. The sushi is always very fresh, and there are selections from most other Asian cuisines as well. You can place an order for pickup online at their website, which is VERY convenient. I have also eaten in the restaurant. Service is good either way. They deliver, but I live outside their delivery area and so I'm unable to comment on their delivery. If you like to partake in adult beverages with your meal, be advised that Asian Sakae does not serve alcohol, though they allow you to BYOB. There is a liquor store a few doors down in the same strip mall. read more

The ONLY place in Carroll County that I get sushi from! Everything is so fresh, you can taste and smell the high quality of what they offer in their choices. I've only had sushi from here but they also offer Chinese dishes & Thai. Dine-in, carry out & they also deliver. If you order carry out online you get 10% off your order! Pretty busy place so expect a wait or longer delivery windows at peak hours. read more

The first time I went I ate inside. The service was terrible. We brought our own wine which they took to open, and broke the bottle, did not take off any of our bill. The sushi was good, the service was terrible. The second time, I ordered online and got delivered. The delivery was fast, the food was excellent...I got Chinese this time. Long story short, definitely will be ordering carry out again, prob wouldn't eat there. read more
