I ordered an avocado salad and an avocado and salmon roll. The avocado was still hard and tasteless which ruined the total meal for me. I should have sent it back but that is all I eat and I was other people and did not want to make a fuss. read more

I don't understand the negative reviews. I live locally and have been two times. Both times the food and service were excellent. Definitely the best sushi around! read more

So after our debacle at YummyHibachi or whatever the hell that place was, Kat and I drove to the other side of the island, trying to keep our dreams of Japanese food for dinner alive. We ended up at Sake House, a very pleasant middle of the road Japanese option. The menu is quite large and the staff are adorably friendly, we tried quite a few things and weren't disappointed. Both the hibachi and sushi were decent, and there was a nice selection of Japanese beers. Like I said, it's very middle of the road, but we will definitely come back again. read more

Servers were attentive. Food was quickly prepared and delicious. We shared the dinner for 2 ($50) and it was enough food for 4 people. The steak was perfectly prepared. The shrimp were very tasty. The chicken and vegetables were excellent. The rice was a little salty but very good flavor. Would definitely go back again. read more

For starters; fantastic Pork Gyoza. Hands down must try. The food came out quickly, the waiter was very friendly & always had a smile. The Sushi itself came out in about 15 minutes, with amazing presentation & tasted as good as it looks! The Volcano is a must try, not many places do the Volcano properly anymore but they stuck too the traditional style. The dancing eel was OK but I'm just not a huge fan of cooked rolls I suppose. the Hilton Head was fresh to the crunch & had so many flavors. I normally get some yum yum sauce to compliment my sushi but I did not even wanna taint my food with it this time! I don't know why these negative reviews are weighing down such a place, don't let them deter you from trying it like it almost did me, this place is definitely a gem in its own right! read more

Great food! Great service! And they put on a little show along the way. Would definitely go back

The staff here was extremely friendly and was very attentive. However, the food here was extremely disappointing. I ordered four sushi rolls and noodles. The sushi was the worst that I've had in my life. read more

Order some takeout from here, and it was decent. Very basic. Loved in Japan for 5 years and I've had some similar to this. Overall a solid 3. Would be a last stop for sushi around here. read more

Sake House - Philadelphia Roll take out - Japanese Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

For $22 this is pathetic! I have ate in person and it was a lot better but this is not acceptable! I called them and they said they weighed the food before cooking it to make sure it was the correct ounces. This isn't even grilled hibachi. The chicken, zucchini and shrimp is not what I expected or wanted. I've had hibachi from here to California and this was the worse I've ever had. read more

Sake House - This was $22 worth of nasty! - Japanese Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

We're from Chicago and love sushi. We kind of gave up on finding good a quality sushi restaurant in Beaufort, until we stumbled upon Sake House. We tried the sushi boat for 2 and were pretty blown away. Lots of fresh sushi really reasonably priced...with soup AND great salad. Honestly more than we could eat! We've since tried Yummy and House of Tokyo but they pale in comparison. Service is great and the waiters are helpful. Our kids have visited us and agree it's Chicago quality. read more

Let's start out with the way the place is decorated is super cute! Really fits into the hibachi sushi style. The service is great super quick and friendly. The sushi is a little small for what I'm used too but super delicious! Where we were sitting had a lot of sand flies and it was getting in our food as we were trying to eat it. One thing I don't mess with is bugs. That's why they lost two stars on my end. But other than that a great place! read more

The staff was very nice and we were quick to be seated ! The actual interior was nice and cozy and the food was very yummy. I got the marine boy roll and the volcano roll and the pork gyoza as an appetizer. Overall it's was a nice experience read more

After living in Japan for two years, I did not enjoy this place whatsoever. Miso Soup tasted like sink water. Shrimp tampura didn't taste like shrimp. The most delicious thing here was the cold water. Never coming back. read more

Sake House - Bento Box - Japanese Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

Took my family to eat here while in Beaufort. Ordered food and waitress came out with generous portions NONE of which were even edible! The sauce used in the dishes was watery and tased like maple syrup. Nothing like it have I ever experienced at a Japanese restaurant. The waitress was very good but could not help us get any money back for the meal which was very overpriced as well. read more

Very fast and friendly service. I get a takeout sushi order every other Friday after work and it's always ready for me when I arrive. Good portion sizes for the price. I've dined in a few times and the atmosphere is very relaxed. I ordered the shumai as an appetizer last time I sat down to eat here and it was kinda cold but still edible. Sometimes I do feel like there's a language barrier because on two separate occasions I asked if their house sake was cold (I don't prefer hot sake but will drink it) and was told yes, but it was hot when it came out. But these issues are minuscule and I plan on continuing to give them my business. read more

Fresh sushi. Fast service. Will return. The inside is a bit cramped but the sushi bar has nice bar still seating.

Took forever to be greeted then the lady wasn't even friendly I placed my order came back to get my food the guy was super friendly got home and was not happy the rice was bland the veggies had some kind of watery sauce on it grilled shrimp was the only thing that was worth eating in all a waste of money never again no thanks read more

My family and I went to Sake house Saturday night. The grill was not on. There was no waiting. Might should've been out first clue. I appreciate them being able to accommodate my large party. The food was absolutely disgusting. No nice way to say it. I had some noodles. I was able to stomach the steak. The entire plate went into the garbage. I can't say I'll ever go back there. Total disappointment! read more

Great little restaurant. Stopped here because the lady was craving hibachi. It was just the 2 of us so we didn't get our food prepared in front of us; none the less it was delicious! I've gone multiple times by myself. Highly recommend to those new in the area and would like a great Japanese experience. read more

DO NOT GO IF YOU WANT A HIBACHI SHOW OR DECENT HIBACHI STYLE FOOD. All their chefs quit and left the sushi chef cooking all the food. Spent 1 hour waiting for the food with no warning we wouldn't have the food cooked in front of us and 30 minutes eating and waiting for the check. Everyone in the restaurant was shocked when their food came to them vice being cooked in-front of them like traditional hibachi restaurants. Don't bother. I would love to give no stars or negative stars. read more

Always quick, friendly service. The food is on point! I recommend a crunchy roll and hibachi steak, with a fried cheesecake!

I ordered the Dragon and Godzilla roll. The food is amazing. The staff were welcoming and kind. I felt like I was back in Japan at the time being. I'll be back for more! read more

I ordered a salmon tempura roll, but I was given a salmon SKIN roll. This thing was like freeze-dried petrified cardboard, you could not chew it I couldn't even cut it with a knife it was disgusting! read more

Sake House - Salmon SKIN roll - Japanese Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

Every time I go to Sake House it is a wonderful experience! The food is delicious and always cooked to order (for example cooking steak or filet correctly as per your preference), portions are great, and staff are friendly with excellent service that is super quick. I've always been for dinner so recently I tried the hibachi lunch and it was just as wonderful as it is at dinner and still an incredible portion!! Love this place!!! PS - I also lived in Japan for a number of years and I don't understand the bad reviewers. I would say to remember that when people are happy they rarely write reviews and only negative comments ever make it to these forums. read more

Nice place - lots of seating and modern. We've been there about 5 times now and our service always varies depending on the server. Most of the time we get our drinks and hot sake refilled right away and there were only a few times where we had to wave other servers because ours didn't notice for a while. We aren't picky so it didn't bother us. Their sushi menu is standard as any other Sake House so you can't get any fancy special "on fire" rolls. Sake House in Bluffton and in Beaufort have a half-off sushi and some apps + house sake HALF OFF Monday - Thursday so that can save a few bucks but nothing fancy. If you're looking for good sushi and cheaper bill on week days this is the place to go. Recommend! read more

This has become one of my favorite sushi reasturants in Beaufort. They have a REALLY good plum wine. Service is always great. Fast on preparing "to-go" orders. Prices are average. Plenty of options for everyone. Convenient location. read more

Service was excellent and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty. I don't understand the low rating. We were surprised that nearly everything we ordered was half-price, so four of us left very full and satisfied for $70 before tip! read more

The Sake House needs to be thoroughly cleaned. The women's bathroom is gross. The entire place is dingy. I was with a group of friends or I would have left. The miso soup is the heartiest miso I ever had. That alone gave the place 2 stars besides 1. Everyone thought their rolls were decent. Will not be back. Please, take some pride in your restaurant and clean it. read more

WORST customer service I have ever experienced...Literally. We saw multiple tables around us get up and leave as the owner frantically tried to keep everything running. The people they hire are just the absolute worse - I don't understand how a server can be soooooo bad....and then not get fired on the spot. And the sushi chef is a freaking jerk and just as bad as the crap servers! When our order took over one hour (no joke) I asked the sushi chef directly and he said "One minute" followed by a little girl laugh. Gross. Mark my words...This place will go out of business. When you treat your customers like this you are bound to fail. read more

I know there's not a lot of selection in Beaufort for Japanese Hibachi, but don't waste your time and money here. Their service, while not rude, was painstakingly slow. I've given them three chances to improve and this was after a management change. First, we walk in and it's not busy. At. All. Why should we have to wait? There were only four of us. I asked for a hibachi table and the host was repeatedly telling me that we would need at least two hibachi entrees for them to open one up. Um... FOUR of us standing there. I get two were kids, but still. I had to assure him we would be ordering that many hibachi entrees. The waitress was nice, but so slow. She'd get our drink order then 10 minutes later show up with them. Then food and the chef didn't show up for another 15 minutes. It took 2-2.5 hours to complete our freaking dinner. RIDICULOUS!!! I've heard good things about their sushi, but not going to risk my money here again. They've gotten enough. read more

Have eaten here twice. Doubt we go back. Service was HORRIBLE both times. The first time our waitress never came back to give refills and they were out of soup. The second time we were seated and it literally took 10 minutes for our waitress to take our drink order and another 5 to bring the drinks. There were people who came after us and got their food as we were getting our drinks. Hibachi was good. Sushi rolls were ok. read more

Ordered 3 sushi rolls and seaweed salad. The woman on the phone was very nice when taking my order and at pick up. Food was ready quick. Sushi itself was great, pretty fresh. However the rice was bland, no seasoning at all. The seaweed salad was ok, definitely not as fresh as the fish. read more

I've eaten here a couple times to give the place a chance but they never surprise me with quality food. The food is way overpriced and the sushi is the worst by far in Beaufort. They smash their rice onto the seaweed (probably to save them money) There is no love or care into preparing their food read more

This place used to be good when it first opened but even pre Covid it was going down. They serve you old rice and never fresh. The food doesn't even taste good anymore so I really want to save everyone the hassle and just choose a different place. If you go here, you will be disappointed. read more

I absolutely recommend this restaurant to you. Like sake house has options of raw or cooked sushi. But that's not all, sake house has other choices like steak rice and lunch meals that comes with 4 rolls of sushi, cooked or steamed rice, vegetables, and chopped up steak. If you are really trying to find a good sushi place plus other foods, I really recommend sake house. You won't regret it. read more

Food was good. But took them an hour to give us appetizers, gave us unsweetened tea when asked for sweetened, took forever to get us silverware. read more

Blah sushi. But half price. So if you have kids who love sushi and you don't want to dish out $200 again for their humongous appetit, go here. Want good sushi in Beaufort, go to papayas. Want the best sushi, go to Hinoki in Hilton Head. read more

On the times during my travels and visits to Beaufort, I always try to come to Sake House. The food here is great and I am a connoisseur when it comes to Sushi. Some of the reviews here say the service is lacking, but I haven't had any issues on my visits. I can't complain during a busy night if things are going a bit slow, that's expected. And they could use a bit of work when it comes to the bartending. The first time the waiter we had got to talking and he is a Bay Area native so obviously he got a good tip :P The last time was during a birthday dinner and we all sat at the one of the three huge hibachi tables and were entertained by the two chefs treating our table :) The pricing is moderate but if your like me and you like to chow down on some good Sushi, be expected to pay a good amount lol. read more

I went here for lunch and got the "Sushi Regular" lunch special. The salmon and tuna on the rice balls were amazing but the California roll was not good. The avocado didn't taste right. It was a little early to cut and serve it. The crab was stringing and tasted like the out of the bag crab. The cucumber was cut correctly but their was a string or something in it. I would come here but do not recommend getting the rolls. read more

Almost passed it by after looking at the Yelp reviews, but they were the only place around open at 3 for a late lunch! Not sure where the bad reviews come from but this place is great. The sushi was amazing and both the hibachi chicken and steak were as good as it gets! We will definitely be back soon read more
