I stopped in for lunch, and ordered water for drink. This is an all you can eat sushi place, order off a menu. I'm not a calamari fan, but it's offered as an appetizer if you are someone who is a fan! I was seated very quickly, and my water refill was quick and without question. I didn't even have to ask, and they didn't ask me if I want another one (which is preferred they don't ask! Loved it). Most sushi places do California roll with avocado, and some with cucumber instead of avocado. I prefer the more commonly used pairing with avocado. This place makes their California roll with cucumber. It's not specified on their menu, so fyi before you order a California roll. No spider roll/no soft shell crab at this all you can eat place. Most of their speciality rolls are drowning in special sauce. FYI before you order. Most of the sauces are a nice complement, but if sauce isn't your thing, let your wait person know, when you order. I love the inside! It's clean, spacious, well designed with decor setting the mood without being overdone. A giant wall painting of Mt Fuji with cherry blossoms takes up almost an entire wall. I got to eat 6 sushi rolls and two pieces of nigiri, for only $25 plus tax! A real deal. Wait staff clear away dirty dishes quickly with no fuss. I recommend checking this place out, if you live in Rancho Cordova! read more

I was out at the shopping center with my family and decided to take a break and grab a bite to eat. We came across Sake, which from the outside looked brand new, and I'm so glad we stopped in. The customer service was top tier, we were greeted and seated right away as soon as we walked in. It also wasn't as busy as we expected. The food came out fresh and within a reasonable amount of time considering how many items we ordered. For an AYCE sushi spot, they have a great variety to choose from, which is especially nice if you have picky kids like mine . The only slight downside was that it was pretty warm inside the restaurant. It was a cold day outside, but the temperature indoors was a bit warmer than needed. Overall, I definitely recommend trying this place if you enjoy sushi and like having a variety of options to choose from. read more

This is a great all you can eat sushi restaurant. The menu is a bit on the smaller side compared to other ayce sushi place around. The food itself is good, the tuna sashimi melts in your mouth, and all of their poke were super flavorful. I also enjoyed the galbi and the shrimp tempuras. The miso soup was a on the watery side. Their green tea ice cream was very good but I wish the portion was bigger. The servers were very quick, and was constantly prebusing our table. For $36.99, I think it's a great deal. read more

AYCE sushi in Rancho Cordova!! I have been waiting to try to this place and it didn't disappoint. Price is $35.99 which is definitely worth it for what you can get. I got a variety of Nigiri which was so good and tasted very fresh, my favorite was the torched salmon. I also got the ultimate Salmon roll and the Rainbow roll (rainbow was my favorite). For appetizers/small bites I got the spicy edamame and the sweet potato hand roll. Everything was great I will definitely be coming back! Service was so quick to bring everything out. Our waiter was also very sweet and gave us recommendations and help ordering since it was our first time. read more

Ambiance: Very simple Japanese decor. Very tasteful. Service: The wait staff were extremely busy and the restaurant was hopping with new customers. They did very well. Food: The food is okay. You can do buffet or individual dishes. I did notice the Sushi rolls came in different sizes depending how you ordered; smallest with the buffet and larger with individual dishes. Definitely going to try them again! read more

First time here and definitely won't be my last! Service was quick and attentive. Quality is amazing for AYCE. Our server Sophia was very sweet and helpful! (: read more

First time to their ayce sushi lunch. The restaurant itself is very open and clean. The service was ok. The waiter was attentive but didn't seem too happy. My friend and I had a couple of rolls and nigiri .. I do love that they give you an option to order the full roll or half a roll. I ordered half an ultimate salmon roll and my friend ordered half the Sakura roll .. both rolls were good. We also had a couple of nigiri.. white tuna, seared tuna, avocado, salmon. They all were mediocre. They can minimize the amount of rice a bit .. my most favorite thing there was the cream cheese wonton and fried chicken wings LOL. The cream cheese were the chewier texture wonton wrappers and was filled filled with cream cheese .. it was great! And the chicken wings were fried to order so they were crispy goodness. The stir fried udon was ok. Too much onions for my liking. The stuff jalepeno was actually good also. Overall I'd say it's good for a quick lunch spot for ayce sushi for the price read more

Food was amazing. We are actually regulars. The staff are also friendly. There were a lot of people when we went due to Mother's Day but it was fun. We will definitely be back! read more

Food was alright, but the dinning experience was awful. The servers were very nice initially, but the system they have for ordering is just atrocious. Long wait times, missing orders, and the servers seeming to get more annoyed with us when we try to order more food. It was almost impossible to flag our server down for anything after our second round of ordering. It felt like they didn't want to give us more food... The portion sizes were also very small. We would finish our food within 10 minutes, wait 10 minutes for the server to come back, then wait 15 minutes for our food to be served. I think we would've had a much better experience if the soup and salad was a self serve bar. The fish was also not the freshest. My little brother actually gagged after eating a piece of the yellow tail because it was so fishy. We politely informed the staff so they would not charge us for the uneaten fish and were met with a dismissive manager. They stated that the fish was fine and my brother's tastebuds were off???????? We're not trying to argue, we just wanted to let them know that there was something wrong with the fish and that's why we didn't eat it. Then it took another 20 minutes to get our bill as the icing on the cake. Overall, very disappointing, very expensive, and very chaotic. read more

Sake - Sashimi that looks good but tasted extremely fishy and not fresh.. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

3.9/5 Came here with my little cousins since it's by their home and it was in their budget for AYCE sushi. $35.99 for dinner and $25.99 for lunch, which was a good price for AYCE sushi. Location - The restaurant is located near a Panda express in the Target plaza by KP supermarket, so it's very convenient to grab lunch or dinner after shopping. As for parking, there are enough parking in the lot, but it can get filled up during dinner on the weekend so you might have to park a little further and walk a few more steps. Ambiance - When I walked into the restaurant, there is a big waiting area but there was no hostess or anyone to greet you. I had to wait a little bit before someone came and asked me how many in my party. (I was the only one waiting in the area by the way). The first glance of the restaurant, it's just set up as any regular AYCE sushi restaurant. There wasn't much that stands out or special. There were a two - three tables next to the sushi bar, which I find odd and out of place but I guess it works for small party of two when the restaurant is packed. However, I just think it's inconvenient with space. Food - The most important part....the food. The menu offers sushi rolls, sashimi, fried food, and others. Overall, it comes with options for everyone. Definitely, for me I was looking at the sashimi and carpaccio. I had other items on the menu, and a few highlights and misses listed below. Sashimi - The fish was fresh and it comes in a thick slice, which is very satisfying. I was a very happy girl with my filled of sashimi. Recommend!! Carpaccio - I tried all four carpaccio that was offered, which was good, but I only reordered the salmon and seared pepper tuna. I think the first round was definitely great, but after the third round. I feel the seared pepper tuna was overcooked and the sided that was seared was overly peppery. As for the salmon carpaccio, the orange/tangerines slices can be overpowering when it's sour, but I was okay with it because I like the flavor. Recommend, but it's not consistent. Rolls - As for the rolls, I didn't really try much of it but my little cousins did enjoy it, and they look the right portion of rice and filling. Fried calamari - I would recommend the fried calamari, which was really good and fried to perfection. It had the right amount of seasoning and crunchy enough. I rarely eat and like calamaris at AYCE places, but this was really good. Highly recommended. Miso soup - It was okay but wasn't great. Had better at other places. The flavor was lacking and there wasn't any tofu in my soup or seaweed, just miso. Cucumber salad - PASS...do not get. This was definitely not sunomono. To my surprise, it was thinly slice cucumbers mixed with mayo. If you prefer that, then it's for you. However, I was expecting sunomono which wasn't. I gave it a try because I didn't want to waste it, but it was lacking flavor. It was just cucumbers mixed with mayo. I would not recommend this. Service - I would say the service was my least favorite part of the whole experiences. Even though, it still seem like their soft opening but it was pretty mediocre. The restaurant really needs to work on it, despite having to wait to be seated. There were about 3-4 servers and two sushi chefs from my observation. The restaurant had about 5 - 6 tables currently eating, so it wasn't packed and people were eating, so it was a good sign food was coming out. However, when it came to our table we ordered our first round of food, and it came pretty quick. However, we were still not serve our water yet when we initially order with our food order. We had to tell our server and he still didn't bring it, so we had to ask another server for our water. Then when we order our second round of sashimi, our order was mess up. By the third round, our order had missing items that came and we had to ask for our server to check on it. Overall, I think the male server we had was just not there. He seem absent minded. It could be he didn't fulling understand english or he was just not really listening. By the third round, we had to point to the items on the menu to make sure he got the right item. Let's not even talk about our water being refilled......Overall, the services needs to improve. In conclusion.....I would still recommend you to give a try if you are in the Rancho area. It's a pretty decent AYCE sushi establishment. The sashimi is definitely the rockstar here for the price. However, I hope their services improve and maybe I just got a bad night with the server I got. Give it a try. read more

First I wanna say, I came here for dinner about a month ago and everything was excellent! Food was amazing and our server was so attentive and consistently checking up on us. I wish I remembered his name but he was awesome. I came in for lunch and food was great today but service was okay. After placing our first round, our server never came back to check in and ask if we would like to order more. We noticed that they checked in with all the other tables, asking if they would like to place more, but were very standoffish with our table. We had to wave down the servers every time we wanted to order or ask to place an order whenever they stopped by to collect empty dishes. We were polite and patient the whole time but it kind of felt like they were annoyed that we ordered all we can eat when it's...an AYCE restaurant. It wasn't busy either so I guess the amount we ate for 2 girls was questionable to them loll. read more

Tried out this new all you can eat sushi and it did not disappoint. We went at lunch time and there wasn't too many people. Super cute place. Price was decent also. Ordered some appetizers and stir fried udon to start. It was delicious. Their cream cheese wonton was very very good. Had a good amount of fillings. We only ordered nigiri's because that's what my husband and I love. All their nigiri's did not disappoint. Their rice to meat ratio was perfect. Their fish was fresh and melt in your mouth. This place is definitely our new all you can eat spot when we don't want to make a drive to Roseville. read more

This is an all you can eat Sushi spot, however they have appetizers: fried calamari, katsu chicken, chicken wings, French fries and many other options. Their sushi rolls are freshly made and delicious. They serve full size servings and the presentation is great. I believe it was the owner and the chef who came to our table and introduced us to these spicy tuna tacos which are currently not on their menu. These were crispy taco shells filled with delicious spicy tuna and avocado. They have large comfortable booths and it's a clean and very friendly atmosphere. Their service is great! I would definitely go there again and I highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent customer service- Allen, Louisa, and Jocelyn 10/10 Friendly greeting upon arrival , attentive throughout and offer helpful suggestions of the meals. Sophia stopped by the table as well to greet us and ask if we were satisfied with our first visit. Food- Delicious!!!! We order the hibachi beef, fried crab, chicken udon, calamari as appetizers. Food delivered promptly and as ordered. We order the following sushi: tiger, lion king, black tiger and Naruto. I like the tiger the best and hubby loved the Naruto. The lion king was a bit creamier than expected, other than that I give the food 10/10. We will return. Thank you! read more

TL;DR: this is the only buffet that I left hungry from. Food is a 3.5 out of 5, service is pleasant, but there's some push back. I'm going to give it a year before i come back. Tips: if you eat here do not come when it's busy and order a lot, but not too much or else you'll get charged for what you don't eat. Review yelp for serving sizes for each dish. Food: The food was good to mid. We ordered several dishes from Sashimi, rolls and hot food. The Sashimi and hamachi kama was probably the best items on the menu. Hibachi beef was over cooked, even though we asked for medium rare. We ordered several items over 4 rounds and there must have been an issue with the hot food because we didn't get some items from round 1 until after round 4. It's kind of hard to figure out if your over ordering when food doesn't come out in a timely manner. Plus there was a mix up and we were served food that we didn't order. Service: Service is attentive, but chaotic. When asked what rolls we were getting the food runner didn't know. When asking if we can put in an order for hot food we got pushback saying that they couldn't accommodate our order cause it would take too long. I think they might be under staffed because I had to flag down our server several times. Note: my mom was content with her table's ordering, but she was also served the wrong food at times and didn't like some items. Pros: No limit to food( short ribs, sashimi, hamachi kama etc) Cons: Service is chaotic and do not go if the restaurant is full. If you do then order a lot of food in your initial order. Summary: Although the food was acceptable I think I'm going to skip this place until they figure out a better system to provide food to the customer. Based on other recent reviews it seems that the restaurant needs some improvements. I've been taking a break from yelp, but this restaurant might have brought me out of retirement. Lol read more

Sake is by far one of the best AYCE Sushi restaurants in northern CA. We've been here 4 times already within the last 5 months. The food is always delicious, so many great choices, the seafood is always fresh. Hamachi Kama and Salmon Kama are always included in the low very reasonable price. Other sushi AYCE restaurants, especially the ones in Roseville does not even include Hamachi Kama and they charge more. All of the employees here are so nice and always make themselves available for us any time we need them, even when it's busy, they are truly awesome!! Anytime we have any kind of special events we always come here and will always continue to come here because of the great food along with the awesome customer service!, Thank you Sake! read more

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first because the restaurant was quiet, but then again, we did go on a Thursday night. We were really craving sushi and definitely didn't want to repeat the 'meh' experience we had at Narumi (another AYCE sushi spot). The reviews I read were decent, but I kept my expectations low. But WOW. The sashimi (tuna, yellowtail, and salmon) was incredibly fresh, melting in my mouth--it was truly chef's kiss quality. The tuna, in particular, wasn't the typical cut; it was a toro cut, meaning it was the fattier, higher-quality part of the fish, unlike the cheaper, darker red cuts. The presentation was beautiful, and we loved how quickly our orders arrived! That said, since it was a Thursday, I'm curious to see how they manage the rush on a weekend. Another major positive is their policy of no limits on how much you can order, which is a significant advantage over other places that restrict you to just four items per round. For people with a big appetite like us, this is a huge bonus! We cannot wait to come back!! read more

Came here for their first day of opening surprisingly. Service was fast and efficient. Ambience is quite hipster and beautiful. This all you can eat ayce sushi is right beside Panda Express in the Olsen Dr. Shopping Plaza. I came during lunch hours which was $25. I love their ikakaya and specialty rolls. I wished they had sashimi for their lunch menu, but unfortunately it's served for dinner only. Overall, a great experience. read more

Love this place! I have been here now with 2 GFs and we have enjoyed the food. I love the variety and the ayce!!

We love this place because they have Very good food and very nice service. We will come back soon.

The absolute freshest and most amazing salmon sashimi I've ever had, ESPECIALLY for an AYCE! The rolls are alright, but my bias is that I always aim for the raw fishes in sushi places. Again, for AYCE, the salmon was amazing. The owner (Sophia) was really really nice as well, and the servers were also quite friendly. Came with a party of 11 at ~7:30 PM on a Saturday and we got seated very very quickly. Only critique is that it felt like with large orders of mixed sashimi, nigiri, etc, even if our server got it right, what we received wasn't right. No biggie though: it's an AYCE! read more

We checked out Sake, and it was a pleasant surprise. The sushi tasted fresh, and the quality felt better than what you'd expect from an AYCE place. Everything we ordered came out quickly, and nothing tasted like it had been sitting around. The staff was friendly and easygoing without hovering, which we appreciated. Overall, solid food, good service, and a great addition to Rancho Cordova. The place does get packed, but we haven't had to wait very long. You can also call ahead to reserve a table. We'll definitely be back. read more

I know this place is still new but I'm hoping this review reaches the Owners so that things may change. Let's start off with walking in. The entry way is so inconvenient. There's no waiting area and basically workers running back and forth. As we're waiting, food runners are rushing by us. We asked the waitress, where do we check in? She replies, "I don't know honestly". At that point we're already annoyed and made sure to keep track of who was in line before us. It took us 45mins to get a table, with no one reassuring us they were making sure we got seated as soon as possible. Once seated, we got our menu and drinks promptly. We had scanned over the menu before sitting so we knew what to order once our server came by. We ordered a bunch of things to get out of the way. Each item took FOREVER to come out. It was basically brought out one by one. The person who was helping serve the food didn't know where it went as well. He brought over things multiple times that we didn't order. It got to the point where we just started accepting the food brought over because our food we ordered wasn't popping up! We literally got full just because of all the waiting. We notified the server that we were waiting forever for our food and he said they were backed up, but still serving tables that came in before we did. Another server came by a few times and asked us if we got everything. Again, we told them no and no again. Still nothing changed. As far as the food, it wasn't great. The sashimi was cut super thick, all the apps came out soggy, the rolls didn't taste like anything other than kewpie and sriracha. Although the sashimi came in a very decorated bowl, the taste and cut wasn't great. I would rather drive up to Narumi off of Hazel or Pier 50 for ayce versus this place. Again, I know they're new, but they have got to step it up. There are a lot of competing ayce sushi restaurants in the area. Paid $80+ only to be full off of air and water. Save your time and money. read more

When we arrived we checked in with our two kids. After waiting what was suppose to be 1-15 minutes, we were told we're next. Our table was given to the next party that walked in and skipped us. We ordered our food and everyone was served but my fiancé. We waited and waited and waited and asked several times and was told it was coming. After another ten minutes we asked them for the check and paid and left without him being able to eat. We were excited but we will not be coming back. Sad but the service is far from good. read more

You're better off going next door to Panda Express take out than eating here. Server is extremely slow. They give you 90 minutes to eat and order but they take their sweet so your 90 minutes can be up. Order few items on menu but take longer than what it is to come up. Turn out they forgot and it wasn't even that busy. Didn't even apologize. Didn't even care to check up. When the food came. It was delicious but unfortunately, I was already annoyed ait was let down by the server and communication between the cook. Wouldn't even come back and won't recommend here. Not worth the $35.99. read more

AYCE is the only way you're going to get your money's worth, Ala Carte is pretty pricy compared to the AYCE. I ate two rolls for just $6 less than the AYCE price where someone at the table at 6-7 rolls got appetizers and desserts and I sat there waiting and jealous that I didn't do the same. At a different restaurant 2 rolls would normally fill me up and have leftovers. So I'll rule in favor of the AYCE option even as someone who doesn't have much appetite nornally. There was great attentive service, some of our table members really complained about the seaweed quality but otherwise I really enjoyed what rolls I had and thought sure decent enough especially compared to the value you get with fine dining and expensive sushi places. I had eel and salmon rolls. read more
