What a fantastic find in downtown Phoenix! From the ambience to the drinks to the food... superb experience! We had a great time visiting Sake Haus for the first time. Their sake selection is amazing and extensive for your wide variety of choices. The food choices we had were delicious, well balanced and creative. This certainly won't be our last time as I want to taste every yummy item in their menu. Highly recommended if you're in the area. read more

Average. Not bad at all but better options downtown. Service is always very slow. They changed the happy hour, used to be great now not really drawn. read more

I LOVE sake, so when I saw a place called "sake haus" was opening soon I put it on my "must go" list. We live a bit far from downtown so finally got the chance to go in June when we went "restaurant-hopping" on Roosevelt Row and it was awesome!! FOOD: We weren't there for a full dinner so didn't get to try that much but we had several different "signature" Nigiri (which they dress a special way) and overall it was very good quality fish and we loved the unique tastes. I would totally go more often if they had more non-sushi izakaya type of food (but I also think the mainly sushi style is fitting for the restaurant atmosphere) DRINKS: Their sake list is pretty awesome!! I used to live in Southern California and went to dozens of Japanese restaurants, but most of them have boring sake lists (I like to compare them to carrying only mainstream cheap beers like bud light) and only a handful of restaurants had interesting/different sakes. Sake Haus carries some unique sakes that I've seen/enjoyed but also some I've never heard of before! Unfortunately I only got to try a few types since most of the Sake was large bottles so looking forward to coming back to try more! SERVICE/AMBIANCE: We sat at the bar and the lady behind the counter was amazing, so service was great. The ambiance is kinda dark, more of a loud bar type of feel, and due to that and the menu being mostly sushi (we love sushi but get too full with all that rice) we didn't stay too long. It seems like a perfect "grab a bite" type of place! read more

I came here for dinner on my bachelorette and had such an amazing experience. Our server was attentive, fun, and made us feel special. The sushi is some of the best I've had in Phoenix. My friends and I were still talking about how delicious the cocktails and sushi were days later. The lychee margarita and crimes of passion drinks were fan favorites. read more

(Lyrics - The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun) There is a place in Phoenix They call the Sake Haus And it's been the eatery of many Phoenicians And God, I know I'm one My lyrics they are tailored I sing my new reviews My Yelp is inspired by songs Here I will revise Now the only thing a Yelper needs Is some sushi and a drink And the only time I'll be satisfied Is when I'm all full Oh, readers, tell your all friends To come and do what I have done Spend their money and time in ecstasy In the place they call Sake Haus Rock and roll, punk and sushi! Sake Haus is a fun spot to get some drinks flowing and some great bites! To start, I recommend the Omakase Nigiri if that's your style! You get 5 pieces from Bluefin, Yellowtail, and Scallops! As for rolls we went for the 808, poke atop a sushi roll of cucumber and avocado. The second roll was the Bad & Buri, my favorite with yellowtail rolled with jalapenos and aguachile and topped with a sweet sauce; probably my favorite roll of the night! We also ordered The Shogun, salmon shiso with jalapenos and lemon atop a wasabi aioli. The final roll we ordered was The Ronin, which was an eel rolled with cucumber and avocado with umami reduction. Moreover, I would recommend the Chef Special; The Akuma, seared tuna topped with avo sauce, ginger dressing, wasabi aioli, and roe. This was my favorite dish overall of the night! In the end, Sake Haus is a cool spot to hangout for some sushi, but their drink selection is tops! I'm pretty sure their owned by Pedal Haus Brewery thus the name; but also being connected next door haha! Needless to say, it's a great location to go bar hopping and see some art! Enjoy! read more

We have been here a few different times. The inside decor is dark and fun all at the same time. It's a great vibe and if you sit outside it's great for people watching on Roosevelt Row. Great sake selection with lots of different unique sakes. Try the sake flight. It's worth it. They have a new gyoza appetizer that was delicious but with only 3 pieces I was left wishing for more. The king oyster mushroom nigiri was so good. The midori roll was not my favorite but decent for a veggie roll. read more

Love the vibe and decoration! I was sitting at the bar and the bartender was really nice and attentive. It's a small place so just keep that in mind. I tried the Poke Inarizushi. It was my first time getting something with sweet tofu, and a bit too sweet for my liking, but still really good! If you like that added sweetness, highly recommend! I also got the Ryujin, which is their spicy tuna roll, and The Shogun, their salmon roll. Both were very delicious! With how great the quality was I definitely will be trying nigiri next time, but was super full from those 3 lol. Another lychee cocktail was amazing!! I ended up getting two of them. I did get another cocktail but sadly don't remember the other one. I just remember that both were great but the lychee was the star of the show for me. When I'm in another mood to deal with downtown parking, I'll def be back lol Highly recommend trying this place! read more

We ate here for the first time last night. The space is beautiful and welcoming. It is great to see murals on the walls painted by local artists and to see restaurants like Sake Haus supporting local artists. Now about the sushi - I've had sushi in LA, NYC, and other places in the world including Tokyo and the sushi here is top notch. The creativity and artistry of Chef Asa is phenomenal, he makes unique sushi with flavor combinations that explode in your mouth. We had the Kin and it was mouthwatering delicious! When looking for a sushi experience in Downtown Phoenix, you have to go to Sake Haus! read more

This place has been on my radar for quite some time. We came with a group of friends on a Sunday night so no wait time. We almost tried every item on the menu and they were all a hit however my absolute favorite was the bad & buri (yellowtail). It was so delicious we ordered it twice. I also liked the orange blossom as well. The place has cool vibes and everyone was very friendly. All in all it was a great meal and we will definitely be back. read more

I had an ok experience after being really hyped for this restaurant. The sushi itself is great but I have to warn people that it can be very pricey depending on what you get. What bothered me was I ordered one of their specialty rolls and it never came out. the waiter kept swinging by every 5 minutes to let me know it will only take a few more moments. By then me and my friends had finished eating everything else we ordered. The waiter had came back to give us our checks but completely forgot about my order. The waiter said she would take care of it and still bring out my roll. After about another 30 minutes of waiting, the roll finally came out. By then I lost all excitement in eating and the lady didn't waive the charge. Instead of calling it out, I decided to just pay for it and leave. Is the sushi good? Yes it is. Vibes are dope, it sure feels like I'm in Tokyo. Drinks are good to. I just think their service could be better. read more

The sushi here is so fresh and enjoyable! The service is also great . Parking is the only difficult part and they do not validate.

Food is incredible, service is stellar and ambiance is it. Favorite sushi place I've been to. Will go back a million times. read more

Service wasn't the best. At least the food was decent. Unfortunately, I wouldn't go back. There's better sushi downtown.

We loved it here! We stopped in for a quick bite before heading to a concert and it was great. Amazing service and ambiance. Super efficient waitstaff. We ordered the Shogun roll and the Ryujin roll. Both were amazing! The shogun was zesty and the Ryujin was the perfect amount of spicy. We also ordered the Crimes of Passion, a Toshi Old Fashion, and a For All My Friends and all were great! If we didn't have somewhere to be we definitely would have ordered off the specials menu because they sounded amazing (it featured a wagyu beef bowl, yum!). read more

First time in downtown Phoenix on a Friday and I did not expect parking to be so difficult to find we went in circles forever. The hostess were very nice let us get a table inside, over 90 degrees and 10pm definitely not eating outside weather. And yes it is a small space you will definitely be right next to other groups but great night life environment! Our server let us know some of the more popular items at their restaurant. We ordered the 808, the poke was on top and the sushi was at the bottom, definitely a different presentation that what I was used to. We also had the orange blossom tasted very fresh and you can really taste the orange hints. I had the bad and Buri if you like spicy this is definitely for you very tasty. read more

The people here have amazing recommendations. I always do the omakase premium. They have the best fish selection. Along with the wagyu potstickers and Wagyu nigiri is a must try. We always go for the lychee margaritas or a sake bottle. The lighting is dim but great place to talk and enjoy some light music. read more

Excellent. The nigiri here is some off the best that I've ever had. No, it's not cheap. You will be disappointed if you come here hoping for a California roll. This is the place to come for high quality nigiri and great drinks. We had the omakase (gold) and a few rolls. The shishito peppers were excellent as well. Dan, thanks for the incredible suggestions. 10/10. read more

This is probably some of the best sushi I have had in Phoenix so far! To be honest, I wasn't expecting much the first time I ate there but I was pleasantly surprised. The menu was great and they constantly have chef specials. The fish tasted amazingly fresh and delicate. The wait staff is also fantastic - very informed on the menu and attentive. I also love their Sake selection. I don't know if I have ever seen such an extensive sake menu. The restaurant is a bit cozy, but not cramped, and I love the overall vibe in there. There is some great artwork on the walls. Would highly recommend this place :) read more

Enjoyed our Sunday with a cool bartender, ( DeAndre ) cool vibes and great food. Definitely going back for more. read more

Everything I ate was delicious from the salad to Omakase sushi. Rice was a little hard but maybe that's personal preference? Service was EXCELLENT!!!! Everyone was friendly and pleasant to deal with. read more

Very flavorful sushi with interesting flavors. No traditional sashimi / sushi options tho

Phenomenal small bites and sushi rolls. The best selection of sake and the cutest little seating areas. The servers are never lacking personality and we never feel rushed. Better sushi than anywhere local, and my fiance was recently in Europe and says the fish is better at sake house. I love love love the seared scallop roll. I literally crave just that single bite and it's great every time. Sorry about the bad photos lol read more

Great vibe. The service was friendly and very attentive. Most importantly the food and drinks were flavorful, creative and beautifully presented. Highly recommended. read more

This is the best sushi I have had outside of Japan. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. I highly recommend everything on the menu. I think we must have ordered at least ten different dishes? Great date spot as the lighting and ambiance were very relaxed. We went in around 9:30 on a Friday night and got seated right away. read more

Such a great time at Sake House. From ambiance to service, to food, everything was very well presented, worth the visit and the overall experience. Food: delicious and very fresh with great presentation. It was on the pricy side, 1 piece of nigiri will run you about $6-8 so times that by 2 which is what you typically want when you order nigiri, the bill can start to run up quick. But again fresh and melt in your mouth fish. The shishito peppers were my favorite, we ordered 2 rounds and I really loved the Bad & Buri roll. The menu is chef curated and changes consistently so what we had may not be on the menu next time. They suggest no soy sauce (although they will give you some if you ask) and we ate every roll without it as suggested, although dipping is habitual sometimes. Drinks: they have a wide variety of Japanese beers and whiskeys. These are seasonal as well I believe, fun to try out the different beers in comparison to what we drink often at local brewery's. Ambiance: viby music, cool decor, intimate set up. Red lighting so eyes had to adjust but it was a total vibe walking in and seeing all the art work. Would recommend for date night or a couple close friends. Service: the waitress we had was awesome. She constantly checked on us and I have to say I love when servers consistently come and clean off your table. It just adds an element of care most restaurants don't do. I am huge on service so little things like always cleaning my table or checking my water is full, will make me a loyal customer. The GM was walking around, gave us a really cool story about the chefs care in preparing the fish and just made genuine effort to connect. Love that personal touch. read more

The best sushi in Phx. Great service and high quality sushi. The Japanese whiskey selection is fantastic too.

This place was good! Didn't try a lot but the service was great and the items my friends got looked yummy!

Omikase really amazing, all the fish and sushi were flavorful and do not need soy sauce and wasabi. Donovan served us and he did an amazing job. read more

No doubt the best sushi spot in Phoenix! Definitely worth a visit for anyone traveling into downtown area

This place is now my go-to sushi spot in Phoenix (it used to be Across the Pond) !! In my opinion there is nothing to criticize about it (well maybe that you can't make reservations online). The staff is friendly and fun , the ambience is awesome because they aren't pretending to be fancy or high end because they know the food speaks for itself and it's awesome. I've been here plenty of times, (alone , in groups , on dates , with the family etc...) , since they opened and I like everything I've tried so to me , why bother with details dissecting the food. All I have to say is that is just insanely good and at a reasonable price. read more

Some of the best sushi I've ever had. This place is a gem. Such cool ambiance, really nice servers, and DELICIOUS food. You have to try the waygu pork gyoza app and the ryujin roll. read more

Wow. Had the Kyuumi Sushi roll which was 11/10 and Crimes of Passion cocktail, 100% recommend!

Food was good, not as many options as other places. Love Maguro but their options for it are slim. Service was great, we arrived early and they let us in out of the heat till they opened, very friendly and helpful staff. Mood of the place was very chill, cool with dim lights made me think it was super hot outside. read more

BE AWARE: No fried sushi and soy sauce not served unless you ask. Ambiance (8/10): The restaurant has a cozy vibe, but it feels a bit cramped. The decor creates a pleasant atmosphere, but the limited space slightly affects the comfort level. Service (6/10): The waiter was friendly and engaging, adding a nice touch to our experience. However, the service was noticeably slow, especially when requesting condiments like soy sauce and wasabi. Food (6/10): The seared salmon was the highlight, cooked to perfection. However, the other dishes didn't quite hit the mark. Portions were small considering the price, and while touted as fresh, this wasn't always evident in taste. The Orange Blossom, a recommended dish, was underwhelming. It comprised a few small pieces of salmon combined with orange segments, which lacked the refreshing, citrusy burst I expected. While there were standout moments, particularly with the seared salmon, the restaurant could be better. I would bring a date here if I was drinking and wanted some non fried sushi but otherwise I'd go elsewhere. read more

Five women walked into a bar for happy hour - two vegetarians, one pescatarian, and two omnivores. Is this the start of a joke? It's a very tasty one, if so. We happily settled in, jamming out to the music selections on their speakers, and ordering a few drinks. I wish the beer selections were listed, so we could make a better decision on what to order (flavor, style, price). Also, two of us ordered soda waters, which were especially bubbly and lovely, but we weren't told that it was a two dollar cost. Not a lot and not an issue, but I just wanted to be better informed as we moved along. Communication is everything. We got two orders of edamame and then we went all out on the rolls. Only the maki rolls are on happy hour so we made our way through the listing. I'll tell you right now that all of the rolls I ordered were really very, very good. Fresh seafood and great flavors, along with nicely balanced textures. Considering the price of most sushi places around here, this is more expensive, yes. But is it worth it? Perhaps, depending on what you're looking for. For me, yes the rolls were worth it for the happy hour price. I felt like I got a steal! But on a regular evening, I'd probably wonder how my bill got so high, so be aware and ask questions. I started out with the Ronin, which has eel and an umami reduction. Absolutely delicious. Next came the Kyuubi, which has salmon two ways topped with lemon and dill. Oh this was so good! I slowed down to really savor the flavors in this. My last roll was the Hana (I didn't eat lunch, don't judge me!) and that was snow crab with Thai basil in a soy paper roll. I loved the Thai inspired flavor in it. All of them were amazing. That being said, my vegetarian friends weren't as thrilled with their few roll choices. The king oyster mushroom nigiri wasn't all that special, but the eggplant was excellent. read more

Just ok, too many designer rolls and not "regular" sushi. Crowded interior. Parking is very problematic!

Y'all.... this is it. As a self-proclaimed sushi savant, Sake Haus is the place to go and within two visits became my favorite restaurant. Harumi may be the most popular sushi joint and certainly deserves to be mentioned, but Sake Haus blows them out of the water. Their omakase is an adventure of taste, and the quality of all of their sushi is almost unbelievable. Servers are always super knowledgeable and are a great reference if you're not familiar with something. The restaurant is fairly dim as others have mentioned, but it makes for a very romantic and intimate atmosphere. read more

TBH I didn't have high hopes for sushi by Pedal Haus owners. I was weary to say the least. I can't sing high enough praises though. First of all the staff are attentive, knowledgeable & on it. Nothing but love from the back of the house to the servers. Although one of the hostess could use a chat about condescension. ALWAYS start with the Wagyu Fat Pork Goyza! Our personal faves are the Sashimi, all are fan freankin' tastic. Chef Special roll faves are the 808 (which is now sadly gone) & PYT. Best Maki in my humble opinion Bad & Buri. The cocktails are great too & served in the most adorable glass ware but we love that they have the Lucky Cat. Just a great night every time we go. There's almost always seating at the bar if you can't get on a table. Go forth & ENJOY! read more

I came in for dinner the other night with some friends and we had such a great experience here. Service was good, attentive staff and knowledgeable, we took our server's recommendations and loved it! Definitely try the Kin omakase and bad & buri roll! Loved their cocktails too, so I'll be back for HH soon!Great vibe, and real sushi in a great downtown spot :) read more
