Baked roll
Charline T.

Came by on a weekday dinner with a friend and we were seated immediately. There were a few tables with diners, but staff was attentive and checked in on us often. Not a long wait between ordering and getting your food. It can be a bit pricey at $40 a person, but the quality in food made up for it. Plenty of parking in an outlet mall area, clean, and with a decent waiting area. I don't remember music playing, but there was enough background noise to have a conversation with the person in front of you comfortably. Lights were a bit dim to give a cozier vibe. The tuna sashimi tastes fresh and had a nutty flavor to it. Fried foods were served hot. Servings were not overwhelming. There's plenty to order, and there's no way you could try one of each - so many options! Would love to come back to try more.

The sashimi alone was worth the price of admission. Beautiful thick cuts of fresh fish served on ice (very nice touch btw). They also I had many options on the menu besides sushi. They had fried rice, stir fried udon, teriyaki, fried wings, cream cheese wontons, fried calamari, even mozzarella sticks. These items were all very good. The rolls and the little special sashimi platters were disappointing, which a majority of our party agreed on. The nigiri, sashimi and appetizers are enough to go back for.

I used don't like AYCE sushi because usually the stores served low grade sashimi and service were always hit and miss. But Sake lifted up the standard. The sashimi are fresh and the food was served quick and with nice presentation. They have a wide variety to pick from hot dishes to sushi rolls to sashimi. Everything is delicious. Server always pay attention to what we need. And at the end we were also offered for ice cream. Will definitely go back with friends and family.

Sake is a new AYCE sushi spot in Napa and it's really amazing! I have quite low standards for AYCE sushi, but Sake really raises the bar. Each person is allowed to order 2 items from each section which is quite generous! The servers were kind. They would also clean off our table often. The only hard part was trying to get the attention of a server to order more rounds. The fish is really good quality for AYCE. The rice to fish ratio is great. And their food is just overall yummy! My absolute favorites were the seared salmon and salmon belly nigiri. They were amazing! My least favorite was the pepper fin. I'm not sure if they made a mistake but instead of ponzu like the menu states, we got unagi sauce on ours. So it wasn't our fave due to the overwhelming amount of sauce on it.

My faves seared tuna, salmon , white tuna, hamachi,  tuna

Great AYCE sushi. One thing to note is you pre-order e.g how many slices of fish or Nigir for Sashimi. I tend to order by two of each i wanted to try and you can order again. My husband and took a slow approach of ordering some salad and appetizers and one roll(8 pieces). 2nd time a few more different Sashimi, hamachi kama(1 order per person so not unlimited) and 1 roll. 3rd order same but with soft shell crab. You dont want to waste as they will charge you but also why waste food as my nanay would remind me. 90mins is a time limit so no super slow eating . Worth the price as you get a lot and different choices. A big group allows you to try different rolls but with just two of us we kept it to two rolls while ordering a lot of Sashimi and nigiris. Sashimi was fresh. The rolls and selections were extensive. Has some different from the pinole location like salmon skin salad, seared tuna Sashimi, green tea ice cream, Hamachi kama (don't remember if pinole has this one). Salmon Skin Salad. Yummy slightly sweet dressing. Sashimi was great my faves were the seared tuna, white tuna, and salmon but everything was fresh nicely sliced into bite size. Hamachi kama was perfectly grilled just on a small size for 1 order My hubby and ai had 2 bites each. We didn't order the 2nd one just too much work lol. But the sauce was great we kept dipping our sashimi in it. This location has green tea ice cream served in cute little cups with wooden spoon like elementary school days lol..it was very frozen so waited a few minutes to let it thaw. Service was great they cleared plates and took our orders promptly. There was no wait when we went Sunday around 7:30pm.

Found a great AYCE sushi place in a Napa strip mall. Service was quick and we were checked on repeatedly for beverage service and made to order items from the menu. Everything is included with no uncharges. There are a good amount of rolls to choose from, appetizer assortment, nigiri with not too much rice, hand rolls, and sashimi. The portions are small so you can sample or specify how many you want of each. Fish tasted fresh. We finished our meal with green tea ice cream.

Sashimi plate
Nica F.

Food here was actually really good. Except that the salmon was mushy. Service nice and fast so as the waiting time. Ill be coming back. $40/person weekends and nights.

Oheono B.

Tbh, I didn't expect much from this restaurant, but it ended up being outstanding. My favorite was definitely the spicy garlic edamame. Their sushi rolls are pretty simple, but I actually liked that they're bite-sized, which makes them really easy to eat. The staff were friendly, and the ambiance was nice, clean, and comfortable. The only thing I think they could improve is the wasabi. I don't expect real wasabi, but I'd at least like it to have some spice and a little more kick.

Sashimi
Khristine C.

This is such a great addition to Napa. There isn't any AYCE sushi places close by unless you go to Fairfield or Vacaville or Concord so this is perfect for us American Canyon/Napa folks. The sashimi and the nigiri is so fresh and buttery. I love how the presentation of the sashimi is on par with higher end sushi establishments. That special touch does not go unnoticed. They also have way more selection than other AYCE sushi spots such as fried rice, short ribs, teriyaki, and they also have an extensive appetizer and salad menu. The service is great, the food comes out quick and you get ice cream for dessert! I feel the price is worth it and I've gone here 4 times since they opened. The wait is not usually more than 15 minutes but I try to go at off times to beat the rush. I highly recommend if you have a big appetite but a small wallet lol

Patrick T.

Came for lunch right when they opened at 11 on a Tuesday. As the first ones there, we had prompt service while their crew was still eating. The food came out quickly. The nigiri was all good. The ambiance isn't amazing as I read this was a former Wendy's. But who needs frills? This is pretty high quality sushi for AYCE. And lunch is only $25. Would definitely come back and try dinner

Milan L.

Japanese AYCE usually have lower quality of food, but not this one. This place allows unlimited orders of fresh sashimi and offers a good variety of cold and cooked dishes. We ordered salmon/yellowtail/tuna sashimi, scallop/seared salmon/tuna/raw shrimp/ikira nigiri, hamachi kama, tuna tartare, yellowtail jalapeño, salmon lover, fried oyster, fried calamari, soft shell crab, tonkatsu, spider roll, salmon avocado roll, and more. Free ice cream as well. Drinks cost extra. Adults $40. Kids have discounts. On Sundays around 6:30pm, the wait was roughly 30 minutes for a party of 6. This place is currently in soft opening phase. Hopefully the quality of the food and the generous selections will sustain.

Beef udon
Cassie N.

I saw this place on Yelp and thought I must be misunderstanding what I'm reading. AYCE sashimi and it looks like this ?! I was not mislead. You CAN get bowl after bowl after bowl of fresh sashimi for $40 a person. Coming from Reno (which seems to be the birthplace of AYCE sushi) we always felt we could be ok with the lower quality sushi because it was THE only way to profitably do AYCE. We were wrong! Every piece was just as delicious (or more!) than the last. This seemed to be more of a locals spot than a tourist trap. We recommend going around 5 or 5:30 to avoid the crowd and the wait. We did get one roll. It was tasty. It had a lot less rice than we were used to which my husband loved but I could have added a little more rice. If you're not in to raw food but still want to join your friends then this is feasible here! Lots of udon, teriyaki, katsu, fried rice, and other appetizers. If you're in it for the cooked sushi, this is probably not the place to go. Loved the Takoyaki! So gooey and octopus was not too chewy. My only con was that I couldn't find a changing table.. I didn't know it was legal to not provide one, but honestly for the price and the fish quality it didn't bother me at all to go change the baby in the car and come back to eat more. I'm assuming given it's Napa there are higher end options, but for much higher prices and probably way more formal. Sake is much more of a casual place, which is exactly what we wanted. We will be back!

Ray T.

Great sashimi options and fish quality. I was surprised they had salmon belly and sweet shrimp. Terrible service. I had to flag the waitress down every time I wanted to order. Several items did not come out so i reordered but they still did not come. After requesting the order several times and waiting 45 minutes, we finally received them.

Is it $25.99 for lunch on Saturdays too?

No, all weekends are the dinner rate, but still a good price.

Do they take reservations or is it just walk ins?

Reservations are not required for parties under 6.

Our party of six decided to head out to Geyserville for River Rock's New Year's Eve prime rib…read morebuffet. The buffet opened at 5:00 so we got in line at 4:45 and we noticed there was quite a line forming. A host called for the VIP people to head to the left and they had a special cashier handling these guests. You pay first and then a server escorts you to a table. They were seating people outside on the covered deck too. The employees said it is quite nice out there with the heaters. Since it was a rainy and cold day, we decided to be seated indoors. The interior is smaller than I expected and they gave us a large table off to the side. The line for the buffet looked long but it moved along. There is an adjacent room where you go for the main menu items (pasta, egg rolls, Asian chicken, soups, rolls, prime rib, chicken piccata, fish, shrimp, salads, etc), and desserts are just outside of this room. The line for the buffet formed straight through the dining room so we were walking right next to tables where guests were eating. I was glad we didn't get seated in this area. The food was surprisingly good. My favorites were the prime rib, cranberry wild rice, and mashed potatoes. Their Caesar salad was really fresh with crisp greens and lots of shaved parmesan. The prime rib carver will ask your preference on how you like your meat cooked. I asked for a small piece but the nice carver is happy to give you larger cuts too. We all agreed that their prime rib was excellent. The employees are all very sweet. They ask for drink orders and they are good about removing your empty dishes. Desserts were okay, but nothing exceptional. We all said if they had soft serve, we would be elated. We all agreed that this dinner was 100% better than the Thanksgiving meal we had in November but the employees were super nice and accommodating both times we were there. Dining area is clean and managed well. The greatest thing is that this place is non-smoking! There is a large multi-level parking garage.

Service is good but the food is just okay. We went for the $28 prime rib dinner special and it felt like the baked potatoes were cooked yesterday and then warmed up. The vegetables were most likely from a frozen bag. The glass of red wine tasted like it was from a bottle that had been opened a few days before - we couldn't finish it. The prime rib was good but we were a bit disappointed with the overall dining experience. It was basically cafeteria food: edible but not memorable.

This place is really cool and has a lot of character. I really liked all the Asian art throughout…read morethe restaurant, and the different currencies displayed on the wall near the cash register were such a cool touch. It definitely gives the place a unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of the food. I'm not picky when it comes to food, but I was a little disappointed with some of the options. A few of the dishes just didn't look very appetizing to me, so there were definitely things I ended up passing on. The desserts were probably my favorite part. The chocolate covered cheesecake was absolutely delicious and definitely worth trying. Overall, I really liked the atmosphere and the decor, but I just wish I enjoyed the food as much as I enjoyed the look of the place. Also, the service was great. The workers are very attentive in cleaning and helping out the customers

First time trying this buffet, and honestly, I came for the food and stayed for the fried crabs!…read more The herbs and spices were on point, and the server was super kind enough to bring me extra chopped garlic and vinegar for dipping as I requested. That little touch made the crabs even better. The fresh, hot wonton soup was another favorite, perfect for warming up between plates. The buffet was refilled pretty well, so there was always something coming out. I also enjoyed the watermelon and cheesecake for dessert. Now, not everything was perfect. Some dishes were a little bland and greasy, and unfortunately, the sushi was way too cold almost like it had just come out of the freezer. Definitely not my favorite part. But for the price, it's affordable and gives you plenty of options to nibble, sample, and discover different Chinese dishes without breaking the bank. Would I come back? For those fried crabs and wonton soup... absolutely! If you love buffets, like trying a little bit of everything, and want something easy on the wallet, this is definitely a place worth giving a try!

There is a great selection of food, and everything was well organized and easy to navigate. The dessert section is pretty typical of most Chinese and Asian buffets, with the usual cakes, cookies, fruit, and pudding options. One area that could use improvement is the self-serve ice cream station. The flavors tend to mix together, and it doesn't look very appealing. A soft-serve machine would be a great addition and would really elevate the dessert experience. The staff working the dining area were attentive and did a good job clearing plates and checking on guests. The front staff, however, could be a bit more customer-service focused. They seemed very focused on moving the line and managing the crowd rather than creating a welcoming first impression. That said, we were seated fairly quickly, even during a busy time. The restaurant can get packed on weekends, so expect a crowd. We're glad to have a decent buffet option in the area. It offers good variety, reasonable service, and plenty of choices for families and large groups. We'll likely be back when we're in the mood for a buffet.

My first thought was, it is quiet! there was only 1 other table at noon... regardless, I continued. It took me a few minutes before anyone noticed us since there was no one at the front desk.. When I finally got the attention of someone, auntie seemed a little annoyed and short. But everyone has their bad days, so despite the lack of enthusiasum we continued our journery for lunch. We opted for the "ultimate" menu which was $38.99/person. But I love my Wagyu's so why not.. They have a large open buffet style section which you pick your veggies, seafood, and tofu from in addition to some random side dishes and sushi rolls. The buffet section was okay.. non-premium options and are typically known as the basic cheaper options at other hot pot places. They didnt even have beef meatballs! Soup/broth options seemed limited. While they had a few, I was thrown off to know they upcharge on everything including if you want a split broth. I mean, the pot itself is quite small already.. Are you really using that much more soup? But the broth was fine. It was flavorful and did its job. I got the tonkotsu and miso base. I did like that they let you order 5 orders of meat at a time. We ordered all the premiums of course. But sadly, they were not that great of quality in my opinion. Wagyu's were chewy and stringy.. For $40 a person, I expect the quality to be a little better especially if other areas are lacking. But they did have an extensive menu which was nice. Lastly, they have a ton of signs.... Most of it letting you know of additional charges or upcharges... Not the most inviting. Probably will not be returning which is a bummer.
