I've been coming to Sake Cafe since I found out they made seafood boil bags. Every single time I've gone, I've never been disappointed! The food is always fresh and the boil bag is seasoned to perfection. They are consistently so friendly and helpful and the food hits 1000/10 every single time! Thank you so much Sake Cafe for all that you do! Specific Order: 1lb shrimp Extra corn and potatoes (3 of each) Medium heat Sauce: Special read more

Unfortunately, the last two times we have ordered the "bento box" or whatever name they use for the combination box, the chicken and shrimp are very overcooked. Like you can barely chew the individual pieces. It is really a shame because we enjoy the soup, the California rolls and rice. Get a food thermometer to know exactly when to take the chicken off the grill! The shrimp should only be cooked 4-5 minutes! Front desk have always been courteous. read more

Wow, one of my favorite sushi spots in Hattiesburg now. The sauce is very interesting, it's a combination of the eel sauce, spicy mayo, and sesame. It seems. The sushi itself is very good, the rice to meat ratio was a little off. I got a roll with rice paper and had a unique taste to it, although my sushi fell apart pretty easily. Again coming from Seattle I haven't found a sushi spot that comes near to what sushi should taste like, but this place is decent. read more

This place has mediocre Japanese food, but it was enough to satisfy my cravings. Apparently they're known for their seafood items, but I will have to come back next time to try it. They're located in a great location with plenty of parking. Our waitress was super nice and helpful. Great service. read more

Have eaten here a million times, have never been disappointed. Cheap but good quality Japanese food if you're craving it, only expensive things I'd say is the kitchen entree's and the seafood boils but that's to be expected. Many items on the menu and very vegetarian friendly. Service can depend on who's working and how busy it is. Not a super fancy place, it's very relaxed and could be a good study spot for students since they have multiple tables near outlets and tables closer to the back away from all the noise. read more

Go.... A hidden gem!!! An authentic Japanese restaurant in Hattiesburg ! The others are overpriced, dirty or just full of too many people. I have driven by this restaurant a thousand times .... FYI it's behind Chic filet... hidden in a strip mall. I was supper pleased with the selection of sashimi and blown away by the delicious chicken wings. Reasonable priced speciality drinks ! read more

From the expansive menu to the food quality, this was a great experience. I did not know that they had a full boiled seafood menu as well. The service was fast and the overall experience surpassed my expectations. I had the yakasoba and it was excellent. The sushi was equal to the other local restaurants in this area. We will definitely be going back here in the future. read more

Today was my first time coming to Sake Cafe. We walked in and were seated immediately. The wait staff came to the table and let us know that they didn't have any sweet tea at the moment. Good thing... neither of us drink sweet tea. We were given the menus and ample time to order. The waitress came back and asked if we had any questions or needed a moment more. We ordered our appetizers which included the edamame, seaweed salad, wok fried calamari, and fried gyoza. The appetizers and the salad came out pretty quickly. Everything was perfectly seasoned, great Temps, right texture, and the taste was superb. As we were finishing up our appetizers, the waitress came out to bring on the heavy hitters! Main dishes... Steak and chicken hibachi, Southern Miss roll, Spider Web roll, and a recommendation from our waitress Lexie the Angela 2. Everything was amazing. I have never been so stuffed in all my life and still tried to eat more. I am absolutely miserable and I have left overs. Ha ha ha. Can't complain about that. The atmosphere was awesome. There was some soft upbeat music playing in the background. It was not too loud as to drown out my partner, but just loud enough to hear and having me bobbing my head and doing a little jig in between bites. The wait staff (Lexie) was hands down phenomenal! She helped us to navigate the menu and even recommended some stuff since we were newbies here. The prices were exceptional. The location is perfect. Did I already say the customer service was absolutely 100 percent hands down the best we have had in a long while. Not to mention we came in looking like some ranch hands. Ha ha ha. I will have to recommended this place to anyone with breath in their lungs. They have something for everyone. If you think they don't, stop by and have a beer or a glass of wine, I'm sure your just stuffy from your week. Enjoy!!! read more

Great food for a great price Got the hibachi chicken and fried rice, it was delicious! Wife got the teriyaki chicken Definitely recommend read more

One of my favorite places to get take out from! Today I decided to try something new, I ordered calamari as an appetizer and was so excited to get home to eat it. To my surprise $7.95 calamari is just for 7 pieces of calamari meaning you are paying a $1.13 per calamari piece if you order calamari from here. That is extremely expensive. Don't order the calamari! read more

Sake Cafe - Calamari - Japanese Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

3/5/2024 ordered and paid online. Get there's no confirmation had to go to car in storming rain get phone to prove order and payment. They then say 10-12 minutes. 15 minutes later I ask is food ready they say again a few minutes. 30 minutes have gone by. I ask for a refund. they inform me that due to it being a third party hired by them i would need to wait 24 hrs and they SHOULD contact me. I ask for a manager, Haleigh says in a very unprofessional tone that she is the manager. I asked for the owner she stated that he will decline speaking w/ me. I asked so I'm supposed to just leave and take your word that I'll be refunded or called by a third party in 24-48 hrs? DO NOT GO HERE read more

So this was a old haunt and home to one of my favorite appetizers ever. So much that I would drive 5 hours one way for to be completely condescended and spoken so rudely by their "manager" and when I asked for the owner by name was told he wasnt there for him to appear 30 seconds later ( guess she didn't know I would know what he looked like) he still didnt approach the table to see if he could help our situation. Like a previous poster posted screen shots that "manager" is still employed and apparently her tips are so bad she has to wait tables in house slippers... But its all us shitty tippers.... I will not be back. read more

I usually really like sake cafe and don't ever really leave reviews for places, but honestly my order today was pretty ridiculous. I ordered the salmon box which is $11, and got 8 of these rolls. For rolls from the SALMON BOX they literally have strips of salmon across them SO THIN it's translucent and don't even cover the whole tops of the rice. Ridiculous. Is this sushi? Or just sushi rice? It's literally just sushi rice. That was $11. I don't mind paying a good amount of money for good actual sushi, but I feel ripped off. Why be so stingy with the fish?????? read more

Sake Cafe - Salmon box - Japanese Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

I love everything here and the service is wonderful! My favorite is the Southern Miss Roll and the Spice Girl Roll.

You will find good food at as reasonable price. We visit Sake often. Service is good. The place is clean and offers a quiet atmosphere.

We stopped in for a quick bite while we used the Tesla chargers. The sushi was delicious, and the service was friendly. Would recommend you give it a try. read more

Our family attempted to eat here this past Sunday. Upon entering, my sister in law noticed that they had 3 (4 top) tables seated and served. Otherwise, the place was empty. When we requested a table for our party of 12, Haleigh states "I don't have time for this" and didn't make us feel welcome to eat there. We asked for the manager and she states, she is "the manager". So, we left and took our business to another Hattiesburg establishment that welcomed their customers. read more

We tried this place for the first time and was so impressed, having lived in Hawaii for a long time then California so my sushi bar is pretty high and I must say this place is the real deal. GREAT value and exceptional service from Madison. Do yourself a favor and give them a shot! read more

Food is good but my waitress was bad as communication and we had to send food back as they spilled sauce In which my Fiance did not want into her food. Also my friend did not receive a salad as asked for. On top of it all which got me was I posted on Facebook that the service of it was very bad and the apparent manager precedes to bash me on my own status. I posted pictures. read more

Best sushi in town. Try the flying dragon roll if you like spicy stuff. Try the blossom roll if you're worried about carbs--it's without rice. The servers are really nice and the sushi chefs know what they're doing. read more

This Japanese restaurant, an offshoot of a small local chain from Metarie, LA, is hands down the best place to get sushi in Hattiesburg, MS. It is located in the shopping center behind Chick Fil A and Backyard Burger and between Kohls and Target. I have never, ever had a bad slice of fish from the sushi chefs at Sake Cafe. That is rare to say for a sushi place that's not located directly in a coastal area! They have many set sushi sets as well as an extensive a'la cart menu for the sushi, from rolls to sashimi. Beware: the sashimi plate is sometimes served on a boat! They have a few cooked dishes like your traditional tempura choices and teriyakis that come out on a sizzling platter. Udon, a noodle soup, is great for cold days. Also try their bar. My favorite was the Sake San: a $10 set of sakes - One bottle of hot sake, one glass of a cold unfiltered sake (slightly sweet) and one glass of cold pear sake. I can't rave about this place enough. I really miss them now that I'm living in Jackson, even though we have so many sushi places to choose from up here! read more

Use to be my favorite place sitting at the "hidden" bar but now the bar has turned into the waitress's hangout. So now you can watch them all on their phones while "working". It's a bummer. For atmosphere and amazing sushi, I say go to Rock-n-Roll sushi!! read more

Flying Dragon roll...get in my belly. Who puts cilantro and red bell pepper in a sushi roll? These guys!! Beautifully delicious combination. read more

Not great, nor was it bad neither. I guess it'll do for Hattiesburg area. Most of the dishes were on the salty side for me, especially the udon. The Who Dat roll was good, sort of on the sweet side due to the riped mango. read more

Hattiesburg isn't a haven for creative or interesting sushi, but I think this is my favorite place in town. They always seems to have a new drink special available from the bar and their fish quality is all right. They have a tuna thing that comes out in some interesting presentation--it's spicy tuna with a quail egg and all on top of rice. Points for creativity there. I had a sashimi/sushi combo last week and everything was good. Very casual, because Hattiesburg. But also, their kid's menu meals are nicely portioned. read more

The food is really good but seem like my order is never 100% correct. Double check your food before you leave the building

Went for Sunday lunch. Mostly very tasty. Had salmon teriyaki bento box. Soup fine, salad fine, salmon good, gyoza was sitting in the dipping sauce so it turned soggy if you didn't eat it right away. Had the tempura vegetables appetizer; tasty but pieces way too big. Husband had sashimi bento box. All very well done. read more

The decor and setup is not all that great but the food here is amazing! Everyone is very nice and hospitable, we tried the gyoza( pork), the crawfish spring roll, Volcano roll, and the southern miss roll. We also had the fried cheese cake, everything was simply amazing. They do have a cocktail bar with a decent selection and of course they have saki. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

This place is consistently good. I get the sushi bento box. It's a lot of food for a great price. The staff is extremely friendly, and they are very good to my two toddlers who enjoy the edamame and the crab stick sushi. People are always surprised when my picky 4 year old says his favorite food is sushi. read more

I usually rate sushi restaurants according to their hand rolls and chirashi; however Sake Cafe is the exception. Decor is great; presentation of food superb; best bento box in Hattiesburg. The chirashi and hand rolls are low quality, but this is balanced with above. read more

Decor is nice but lighting is very dark for the lunch hour. Service is good but slow.Dining are was neat and appeared clean. Order 4 different types of sushi, a side salad and hot tea. Very small portions for the price. The fish did not smell the freshest. The greens were wilted on the salad. Not a good first impression. read more

Best sushi in Hattiesburg... Lunch value is very reasonable if you get a "bento box".

I tried sushi about ten years ago and now thats pretty much all i eat. Sake Cafe is hands down the best sushi in town !

I love this place so much. Every time I come here, the food is excellent and everyone is super friendly. Their bento box is a great deal and super filling. Definitely recommend this place! read more

This review is just for habachi, as I haven't tried their sushi yet. I'm slowly making my way through all the habachi restaurants in town (seriously - what is up with Hattiesburg and habachi?!) Anyway, Sake Cafe doesn't cook in front of you, which is nice if you don't want to deal with the show. Let's be honest, a girl can only take so many onion volcanoes and shrimp in the hat flips. The steak & shrimp habachi wasn't as great as other places in town, but I will come back. The appetizers we tried were delicious, so I'd like to give their sushi a try. Ambiance is 5 stars compared to other places. You can't tell from the outside, but it has a nice intimate bar, cool lighting and great music. Would be a good spot for a date. read more

Very good sushi, especially for Hattiesburg. I agree that the Bento Box is the best deal going. I like the dynamite roll better than Sakura. read more

Very very good. Clean, fast, courteous. You can't go wrong with anything on menu! Me and my girlfriend got an appetizer, 2 drinks, bottle of sake, 3 rolls, sashimi, and a hibachi entree for $55. read more

A little hint for the servers, if you are working, that means that you wait on people and not rush back to your computer or your phone and only wait on people because they come get you. Worse service I've had in a while and won't be back. read more

I was introduced to this great place by a friend while shopping Saturday. I would have to say Sushi doesn't get any better than this! Loved the "Who Dat" roll! I thought it was even better than Saki Sushi in Meridian and Little Toyoko in Jackson. A plus was that it is walking distance to "Material Girls" a favorite boutique. read more

We have frequented Sake often. Unfortunately tonight will be our last. I placed a to go order for $80 worth of sushi. This does not include a tip. When I asked for ponzu sauce I was told I'd have to pay $0.50 for each plastic (small salad dressing) to go container. Keep in mind we would need many small containers for 4 people. The person taking our order said this was a new policy to prevent people who have small orders and take all of their sauces. I then asked if we were eating at the restaurant would we be charged. She said "no". I asked to speak to a manager. She then repeated the same information and added their sauces were made in house. I explained to her that we were getting a large amount of food and I didn't think it was right that we'd have to pay for a sauce that we would receive with our meal if we were to be eating there. She refused to let go of the policy. I told her to cancel our order and that we wouldn't be back. The manager seemed to be fine with that. Seems silly to me to forfeit an $80+ purchase and customer over $0.50 ponzu. The night was saved! We then ordered the same food from Wasabi (pretty much across the street) which gave us delicious sushi, service, and free sauce. read more
