    Dragon Roll Salmon Roll
    Jaime S.

    My best friend and I absolutely love Sake House. We have gone many many times, but I haven't written a review in years. It was a quiet Thursday evening and we were seated right away. Our server was absolutely amazing. She was kind, sweet and thoughtful. We ordered edamame to start off with along with drinks. We both ordered two rolls. I love that they continue to have their BOGO special. The sushi rolls are absolutely amazing, fresh and and so perfectly made. The combinations are a mouthful of flavor. I can't say enough about how good the sushi is. The service is always good and the ambiance is relaxing. If you don't like sushi, there's tons of other options on the menu, something for everyone.

    They have fresh and flavorful sushi! Some of the best in the area. There's rarely a line, and the customer service continues to improve. Sake was hot and delicious! Bring a sweater because it's usually chilly inside.

    Tried something new since Asian cuisine is our go to! This was such a great surprise! The menu is pretty big so take time and look at it before you go! Everything was hot, portions were large and staff was super friendly! We will be adding this to our rotation!

    I went on a date here. They gave me raw meat instead of tuna on most of the rolls. In the picture, you can see the clear difference in color. The meat is a deep red color. I didn't even notice the color difference until my date pointed it out. It's disgusting to think that a restaurant is okay with disguising raw meat as seafood. Please beware of this restaurant. It's safe to say I did not feel well for the following days. Please be careful. Please I didn't feel comfortable with letting the waiter know. Since the restaurant was okay with serving me this, I was afraid of what they might do to the food behind closed doors in the kitchen. Consider going to another restaurant before taking your chances here

    We have been coming to Sake House for years but since the pandemic we haven't been out to eat until today. I had the bento box, absolutely delicious. The customer service is always impeccable, ambiance and music is amazing.

    After a nice hike at Durant Nature Trail, me and my date worked up an appetite and she suggested Sake House. I hadn't had sushi in a while so I was all for it. There's plenty of parking and it's definitely date worthy so you can't go wrong with this choice. Sake House offers BOGO sushi which I find so useful when you're eating out with someone else. Basically you order two rolls and pay for only one so that's a plus. Who doesn't want free food? I ordered Fried Calamari ($7.99) as an appetizer for us along with the Crazy Fire Roll ($15.99 with Salmon, jalapeno, mango, cream cheese, tempura style, topped w. eel sauce, honey wasabi sauce, crispy onion, masago & scallions). My date ordered the Ninja Roll ($15.99 with Spicy tuna & shrimp tempura, topped w. spicy crab meat, eel sauce & scallion). Everything was brought out together and I had no complaints. The calamari was superb. A tad bit salty but overall they were amazing when paired with this sauce that comes with it. I didn't get the name of it but it gives me sweet and salty vibes. Amazing sauce. I'll definitely have to ask the next time I go. Me and my date definitely tried each other's rolls so I was able to taste my Crazy Fire Rolls and her Ninja Rolls. The Ninja Rolls were better but I didn't let my Crazy Fire Rolls go to waste. I think the crispy onion, masago, & scallions kind of threw me off but the salmon jalapeño and cream cheese made up for it for sure. They overall roll was fried and I liked it for the most part. However, the Ninja Roll had me in love. They were spicy but not too spicy and the shrimp and crab meat was delicious. I also developed a new love for eel sauce and I now prefer it over soy sauce lol. Overall this was amazing experience and the food was delicious. I definitely recommend it to any sushi lover. They also adhere to all Covid protocols and the service is fast and friendly.

I ordered the sushi combo (6 pieces of nigiri and a Sushi Mon hand roll) with a miso soup. The miso soup was a pleasant surprise and was delicious quite filling as it contained cabbage, salmon, and mushrooms. The 6 pieces Nigiri was also well balanced and had a good selection of sushi (amberjack, salmon belly, cooked shrimp, etc.). The Sushi Mon hand roll was good but had a bit of heat to it. Overall, visiting Sushi Mon for lunch was a good experience and I'd likely return if I'm in the area

We just had water to drink, but that's okay. My husband's entree was very spicy! We began with the Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura. The shrimp was quite fresh, and the flavor gave a great mouthful of taste and some oiliness (but, not dripping). Flavor! Also, we ordered Negimaki, which are grilled beef-wrapped scallions with teriyaki sauce. One bite is the way to eat those. Love the chopsticks, too. We were each served Miso Soup and two small salads (with ginger dressing). Sure did like that (the soup had good flavor, but was a bit salty for our tastes.) My entree was Teriyaki. I am not familiar with a lot of Japanese dishes, but I do know this flavor. I ordered the Steak. This came with stir fried vegetables with a good flavor of cabbage. I liked those. White rice completed my dish. My husband ordered the Spicy Seafood Udon. This proved to be more spicy than it appeared. This dish included vegetables, udon noodles, shrimp, hokkaido scallops, squid, green mussels, in a savory & spicy garlic butter sauce. We had food leftover, so we got some containers and packed them for home. We will come back here, and perhaps eat outside (sure, the view is of a parking lot), but the high tables and the torchieres give it a nice atmosphere - perhaps as the weather turns cooler, we will enjoy being outside. We spent over $100 without alcohol. Prepare for that, but, it's worth the drive and it's worth your time and money.
