I was greeted by 2 people and was kindly seated immediately. I went on a Monday lunch hour. Restaurant was super clean and bathroom was also clean, which is always a plus in my books! I ordered the spicy kani salad and the daikon maki. The daikon maki was incredibly refreshing in this summer heat and I absolutely enjoyed all the fresh flavors. The fresh fish paired so well with that radish paper and yuzu sauce, I could have 2 orders of this minimum! The kani salad wasn't spicy at all, so I added on some soy sauce mixed with wasabi and it really added some extra kick and flavor. My favorite part was the pineapple bits in the salad for that delicious sweet and savory flavor. I will absolutely be back for the same order and more! read more

Let me give this review in chronological order. We walked in through the door l, and they showed us where to sit l, which was nice. However, the chairs I was sitting in were not the most comfortable; the padding on the bottom served no purpose. We sat down and got waters, and calamari for the appetizer. After a couple of minutes, we were served our appetizer, and we found out the calamari was made with octopus, and not squid (there is a difference). It is sad to see this business using octopus as their food, because octopus are very smart and it is not worth it to eat a creature that can remember who you are if you see it more than once. They should at least put a warning on the menu that it is made from octopus. However, that is the curling of the finger on the monkeys paw, because the calamari was very good. I would order it again if it weren't for the fact that it was made from octopus. Anyways, we ordered our sushi, and after waiting about 10 minutes, we received our sushi. All of the rolls that we got were phenomenal. The Philadelphia rolls we got were nice, and the tempura rolls were nice and warm. The worst roll (and yet somehow most pricey) was the Yakuza roll, but that was really just preference. The biggest gripes I had were the uncomfortable chairs, and octopus calamari. If it weren't for those two things this would be a five star restaurant in my books. We will keep coming back however it was really good. I hope the owners of this business will read this review and consider changing the calamari from octopus to squid, but alas, that is unlikely to happen. Will come again read more

Food was delicious. I ate the Crispy Eel ($15) and Zuwaigani ($14), both great! Crispy Eel is crispy on the outside, while Zuwaigani flavor is enhance by the mango. The spicy mayo is really not that spicy. read more

Well-established place. I have heard many good comments about their quality of food. It is very bright wonderful fun atmosphere. You're greeted with a smile and the staff makes you feel welcomed. I ordered about $100 worth of sushi and loved every bit of it. Sushi is well-made, fresh, and delicious!!! read more

Food and service were very good. Atmosphere is okay, but nothing special. If they had a better beer selection they might sell more beer.

I am new to the area and have been looking everywhere for a good Sushi place. Well I think we found the spot. After ordered a variety of delicious finds off there menu I am proud to say my family ate everything we ordered. Please enjoy some pictures of what we devoured. read more

I found this place 2 years ago as a quick lunch with a friend who is pescatarian . We definitely found a gem because we've been coming here ever since. Their lunch specials are pretty reasonable and you get a lot of food. Brought my daughter for dinner tonight and she loved it. We recommend the caterpillar roll and the spider roll. read more

I've been to Sakae three time now. Twice to dine in and one carry out. The fish has been top quality (for the KC area) each time. Prices are in line with the quality of fish but the taste has been excellent with everything ordered so far. My kids enjoy the chicken. It's good enough that I'm tempted to order it myself but always end up getting sushi when given the opportunity. read more

My daughter loves Sakae Sushi to get her fix for sushi. They offer a great lunch special on sushi and you can enjoy a variety of rolls here. The bento boxes are very filling as well as the miso soup. The bar has a variety of beverages available and they also serve your normal drinks as well. A great place for dine in or even carry out as they always do a wonderful job on getting the orders correct, made to order, and fresh. read more

This place is great! So nice to have a sushi place with a vegetarian menu in the northland. Awesome place for kids with the bento boxes. Always a consistently great meal! read more

Sakae is a nice little restaurant located at the corner of a strip mall in Parkville commons. They have a fair amount of tables and bar style seating throughout the venue. My wife and I love to try crab Rangoon wherever we go and these Rangoon were very well made. Sometimes Rangoon can have soft, almost squishy, underbellies. That was not the case with these Rangoon as they were crispy all around and made a great crunch when they were bitten into. The seaweed salad was very good and seasoned nicely with sesame seeds and poppies. We ordered a variety of sushi rolls too get a full taste of what their menu had to offer. It became very clear that our eyes were bigger then our stomachs as we had plenty of leftovers to go home with. read more

I've been going to Sakae Sushi for over 10 years. I usually sit at the Sushi Bar. About half of my past visits, I am solo. Last night the food was great again. The service was not great. Upon entering last night the restaurant was almost full. There weee three open places at the Sushi Bar. I took a seat at the Sushi Bar. I sat there making eye contact with multiple wait staff for 22 minutes. No one came to me for 22 minutes! When someone finally engaged me I was asked, Are you dining in? I said Yes! Ultimately I was asked 3 times by 3 different wait staff if I was dining in. I've NEVER been asked this question at Sakae Sushi or at any Sushi place when seated at the Sushi Bar if I was dining in! After over 30 minutes I got a water. Then a few minutes later here comes a menu. A table of 4 right behind me was seated no fewer than 15 minutes after I sat at the Bar. This table was waited on and was served appetizers and drinks before I got a menu. Granted Friday night is 4 days before a holiday. But weren't they expecting to be slammed? My last interaction with wait staff included an apology for my extended wait. I'll go back, but hoping they improve their acknowledgement of folks seated at the Sushi Bar. What's with asking me if I wanted to dine in? You can do better! You have done better many many times before! read more

Hit this place up based on Yelp reviews and proximity to my home base. Called ahead for a reservation since it was Saturday night. When we arrived at 730 the place was pretty dead, which surprised me. We were told to sit wherever we liked and were promptly greeted. My GF and I each had the spicy crab salad (my god it was sooooo goood). She ordered the assorted sushi plate and I ordered 3 of the night's special rolls (Green Goddess, Princess Diana, and Kamikaze Bombs). Ok so the Kamikaze Bombs were to die for. Seriously so damn good. The other two were just ok and my GF really enjoyed her sushi. I think like any sushi places it's a matter of getting the right rolls that meat your taste. The quality and presentation of the food was fantastic. We will definitely be back. read more

Moved here from Los Angeles and am a HUGE sushi fan. Eaten some of the best sushi in California, New York, and Japan. This is the best sushi in the area, hands down! Extremely fresh fish and lots of pride put into the rolls, service, and cuts. LOVE this place. I moved out here this summer and was soo worried about finding good sushi. This place cured me of my fears! read more

Mind blown!!!! I used to be a regular at moonlight until they closed. Figured I'd try this place since it is down the street from my house. The waitress was super helpful with the menu helping my wife know what's cooked or flash fried or raw. She literally cooked up a conversation with us with a smile. 10/10 on service. Now let's get to the sushi.. I have ate at every sushi spot in KC from moonlight to blue moon, KC sushi, sake, etc and this place is far better. This is the place to go if you're in KC or not. We live in the middle of America and this sushi was better than the sushi I've ate in China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and even the sushi I've ate on the boardwalks of California and Florida. I will only be eating sushi from here from now on. P.S ask for extra spicy mayo read more

Surprising little sushi spot. Very good sashimi and rolls. The bento boxes are great. Especially the steak. Their miso soup has great flavor and I'm not a miso fan. They have a lot of variety on the rolls and allow you to select the exact sashimi combination you want. Always great service. Not the best I've had but very good and definitely a go to spot living in Parkville. read more

I always come here for my sushi fix. The owner/head chef always is the first to greet you when you walk in and will come by your table to check and make sure the food was great. It by all means isn't a fancy place, but it's new so it's kept very clean and nice. You get a complimentary miso soup if ordering sushi and it's pretty standard. My favorite appetizer is the baked mussels and the spicy crab salad. The mussels are covered in this spicy Japanese mayo which is amazing! We had the spider roll, spicy crunch, and volcano. All of it ended up being too much to eat, but it's so very well priced that we could've kept ordering more. One minor issue... I had ordered a diet coke but was brought a diet Pepsi and wasn't told they didn't carry coke products, so I was offered a different drink. I never knew they did happy hour so I will definitely be back for that! read more

Parkville still close to KC area - This is one of my favorite sushi places in Kansas City. I have two others but will review those when I go back. You must try the fiery edamame. Trust me you'll never go back to regular salted edamame after you've tried this! It is amazing! The edamame is seasoned with lemon and togarashi. They then wok fire it up and in the end it has a wok fired taste with the togarashi seasoning. There are not many places that make edamame this style and I'm so glad this place does! The sushi is always delicious and I haven't had a roll I disliked. They have sushi specials written on the wall behind the sushi bar that is not on the menu. We tried the princess diane, dynamite, yakuza, and hamachi jalapeno. Each roll had their own different taste which is what I try to go for when eating sushi. I like to order different kinds of fish and toppings to change up the flavor. The fish tastes fresh, rolls are rolled nicely as in they do not break when picking up, and the price is just right. Their most expensive rolls are $12-13 which is a good price when compared to other sushi places. The restaurant is clean and I haven't had to wait to be seated. I wish this place wasn't so far from me because I'd frequent it often. read more

My husband and I really like this place! They've got a great selection of rolls at a decent price and the fish is always fresh. The restaurant is a nice size, casual atmosphere, and the service was good. Our favorite is the Kamikaze bombs! We've even ordered a few dinners to-go during quarantine. Give them a shot! read more

This is our new go-to week night dinner spot now. They have an awesome happy hour. Weirdly our fave drink there is the margarita. We have not had a sushi roll we didn't like. All the special rolls are usually good too. Crab rangoons are doable - a little heavy. Service is always quick. Very kid friendly. Also good for take out. Came here again recently and honestly the sushi is even better. We had a few rolls off their hand written specialty menu and they were so great! read more

Sushi wasn't bad or particularly good either but seeing a couple of the food service workers outside smoking cigarettes as we left was kind of a turn off for coming back to this place. Give the place on 64th a try or just go into the city to find good sushi. read more

Went here with the husband for dinner on a visit to Kansas City. First off the waitress was excelleny, she was super quick to assist and had a great attitude that went with the overall great atmosphere of the place. We got 5 rolls with about 9 pieces left over to go. The rocknroll, sakae roll, spicy yellowtail, kamikaze, and the zumigaina. The kamikaze was super melty and yummy. My favs were the rocknroll, and spicy yellowtail! read more
