It's just the best Asian food in Auburn. Lots of options, great service, and very reasonable prices too!

Run don't walk to this sushi place. In the 5 years we've lived here, hands down this is the most legit. Modern ambiance, good music, clean bathrooms and THE FOOD. BEST Korean wings - not heavily sauced & crisped to perfection. Auburn, Sacramento & cherry blossom rolls fresh & Delicious. Healthy ginger portions too. FANTASTIC We'll be back for sure read more

On April 21st I went out with my girlfriend to celebrate my 53rd birthday and decided to give Sake Sushi a try. The inside looked clean and new and I was excited to dig in. We were seated by the pleasant host with blonde hair and given menus. I should mention going in that I have 25 years of management experience in the Bay Area from casual to fine dining. I'm "not working" when I go out, but I'm aware of restaurant basics, like it's Gospel no matter what restaurant you're in that you're at least greeted by a server, even if in passing, within two minutes. Five minutes (true time) passed until the host came by again, this time to drop off waters without a word. Another five minutes passed (real time) so I went to the host stand and very politely asked if there were any servers available to take our order as we had not yet been greeted. She and another server both looked surprised and apologized, then told that a server would be there shortly, so I went back and waited with my girlfriend. I should also mention that in the front part of the restaurant, there was a four top in front of us that finished up and left, leaving us and three other two tops. It wasn't a busy night and no one was in the weeds. As we waited I counted at least five staff members gathered around one of the terminals, looking up at us then back down again and discussing. It seemed like they were trying to figure out whose fault it was for forgetting us instead of someone just jumping on it. I started getting frustrated because they obviously knew we were there, but there was no action. So finally after three minutes of this (real time) a tall blonde kid comes up and without looking at us and without irony asked if we were ready to order. After taking our order he stopped (mind you he didn't introduce himself, didn't apologize on behalf of the restaurant for having us wait and never made eye contact as he was holding the device up close to his face) and abruptly said "I need to go get a manager", and left my girlfriend and I to look at each other in confusion. He goes back to the group, and it was a group!!!, of employees standing around the terminal. Another three minutes (real time) passed and I finally couldn't take it anymore. At this point I lost confidence that our order would be placed on time and brought out on time and did something I have never done in my life and walked out. I will mention that I was very polite and never rude in my limited interactions with the staff. As we were walking out I turned to get their attention and said 'thank you' and left as the group stood there looking at us, no words, no gestures, nothing. So I was very disappointed that my birthday dinner got ruined before it began so we took our business to Jinme, who were more than happy to take care of us and they did. I know from experience that servers and restaurants can have "bad nights" and I also know that there are a lot of good reviews here, so maybe this was one of those nights. For a server, tables equal money. The more customers you serve, the more money you make. So it completely blows my mind that five employees can stand around a monitor discussing who is going to take the table instead of taking it and just let money walk out the door... any one of those servers could have made an EASY 30% tip from me... It was a major bummer. I would love for management to reach out to me... read more

We came in 40 min before closing this evening, and unfortunately it didn't get the 4.8 stars shown on here for me :/ short version is that the tempura in the rolls I got was cold and soft, roll pieces were too big and broccoli in bento box was cold as well. I did really like the way the lemon was added to the salmon roll. The sunomono salad was also very good, as well as the potstickers. When we walked in it looked like the owner was chatting with some people and we were ignored for a couple minutes. A very sweet hostess came to seat us and the owner was in her way to get the menus and basically didn't move. Regardless, our server was very sweet and professional. Time in and out was pretty good. Food mentioned ubove. Overall it was so/so for me. read more

Stored by while exploring downtown Auburn- my hometown! Saw this new sushi restaurant so my hubby and I waited until it opened for dinner- well, Auburn Endurance Race was going on that day on the weekend so it was fun to eat and also see the runners come into the finish line which was right at the base turning corner of the block! The sushi portions are generous and tasty. We ordered the rainbow roll and BBQ albacore tuna- staples that most sushi restaurant has on the menu. Both were Very good- just that the BBQ tuna came totally different that what I'm used to. Didn't taste or see any grilling or flavor but seemed like sashimi laid flat on a plate with some kind of sauce over the top- still overall was tasty; maybe wouldn't order that again though. OMG for the Korean fried chicken wings- delish and so crunchy! Get quite a bit of pieces too then darn it- I dropped one on the floor and gasped! Lol. The deep fried tofu was crispy but was sliced thin and then fried, it was okay, had better. The restaurant's building had been redone with other restaurants before this one- decor ambiance is cozy with a bar atmosphere and some booths and a few outdoor tables but lacks the Asian flare. Still a nice decent place to get your fix of sushi. read more

David was and awesome server he got an answer to all my questions. Place was clean, like the recessed booths. Lighting and music was good. Friday night 7pm wasn't a wait list, but had lot of customers. Agedashi tofu was 10 perfectly crisp and I liked the sauce was little sweeter. vegetarian 1: give a 9, adding the special sauce was good. chicken roll: give a 4, didn't care for the cold chicken. was better with side a teriyaki sauce. Mango Madness give 6, couldn't really taste the mango. Scallop Nigiri: gave a 7 was meaty, buttery and tender. Menu was very diverse. Looking at going back to trying the Kali short ribs and sitting on the patio in the nicer weather. Definitely will be back. read more

Sake Sushi - Baked green muscles and Summer roll. Loved it! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Auburn, California

It was larger inside than I realized from the outside. I thought the temperature was cold inside as the thermostat read 65. The food was okay, but not good enough for my experience with true authentic Japanese food. The salad dressing was too sweet. The seats were hard and not comfortable. The check was charged the wrong amount. So I probably won't be rushing back any time soon. read more

This place was fantastic! The ambience was nice, the bathrooms were clean and nicely decorated. Our server was friendly, helpful and efficient. We enjoyed and appreciated her banter. The food was excellent. Nothing clashed with the flavors in our sushi rolls. There weren't excessive sauces or other palate numbing ingredients with any of our rolls. Each of the rolls which our table ordered were exceptionally well balanced and the flavors of the individual ingredients complimented each other as sushi is intended to do. Some of the rolls which we ordered and which were very well received, included: The Sacramento, David's Special, Dragon, & Spicy Tuna. Our entire party said that they would all be returning and highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The Crispy California roll was everything you could imagine and more. It was one of the best well balanced rolls I've ever had. The service was quick, fast, and the servers were very sweet and personable. I went on a Sunday afternoon - the vibe was chill and relaxing. I highly recommend supporting Sake Sushi read more

Came here for dinner tonight and Complete disappointment!!! First and foremost, we found a fly in my kids water cup right at the end when I opened up the lid. The paper cup was white and would they have paid attention when they were pouring the water, they should have seen the fly. The udon soup was like eating a bowl of salt. We literally used an entire cup of water to dilute the soup. It was that salty. My kids couldn't even enjoy their food since it was already cold and salty. Sushi was ok but we couldn't enjoy it after seeing that fly in our water. Customer service was lacking. The girl sat us down and we had to call someone to get our order after 20 mins of sitting down and waiting. Never coming back here!!! read more

November 21, 2025 OWNER SAKE SUSHI 907 LINCOLN AUBURN CALIFORNIA 95603 Dear Sir or Miss Yay, yours is a new restaurant opened October 4, 2025. Now update of any comments one thousand three hundred eighty four. I see my last for this has twenty seven total USEFUL, FUNNY, COOL votes! I had the chance to dine at your restaurant. It is by the Auburn Clock Tower! I enjoyed the child order of chicken teriyaki. Had the chicken, four pieces the dry seaweed, rice, fries! Cost of $9.65 with tax, good price. For me any child menu should be ten dollars plus tax or less, so the nine dollars and sixty five cents with tax was good price for me! Hoping when I left eleven dollars and sixty five cents on the table plus Letter Of Compliment, that it was enough tip! I will highly recommend your restaurant to friends! Thank to Hannah, thank to Kyle, thank to Chef Baya, for their friendly great help! read more

Seven guys showed up at noon and we were seated in the back as we arrived. The server did not appear to be ready for a group. We got our drinks ; however, napkins and utensils had to be asked for repeatedly. It took forever for the food to arrive and when it did it was excellent. One beer was served in a cracked glass and it was never replaced even with repeated requests. The food variety is good, including some Korean, and the taste profile is excellent. Service needs to be worked on; thus, the three stars. read more

we decided to try this new restaurant in downtown auburn! we arrived at around 2PM on a saturday afternoon & we were seated right away outside. their menu has so many different options, so we decided on the chicken teriyaki, beef bibimbab, & crispy rice spicy tuna. all the food was delicious & were provided to us in a timely manner. our waiter was super friendly. i definitely recommend this place & will be returning! read more

Came here after a nice hike at the hidden Falls. The place is in downtown Auburn. It has a nice outdoor area and really lovely indoor area. They do both sushi as well as Ramen. We didn't get a chance to try the sushi, but we did order the Tom Katsu Ramen, as well as the jalapeño bombs. Jalapeño bombs were very nice , almost like a tempura sushi . The ramen was good. Excellent broth , decent noodle (would have liked a better chew) , the pork was a little thick for my taste but delicious nonetheless. Service was efficient and with. Smile . They were late with the ramen but made up by giving us some miso soup which o thought as a nice touch! Definitely worth a second visit . read more

First off, let's say a prayer for anything that tries to survive in that building but I'm for certain it won't be necessary with what they're pumping out at Sake Sushi. FAN-F***ING-TAS-TIC! David was our server and even with his rookie debut, was attentive as well as personable. All around service was fast and we didn't even get to the food! Ordered a cucumber roll but continued to stick with sashimi and as Janice would say "Oh. My. God"....so good. So fresh. Absolute melt in your mouth. Oh by the way, fresh grated wasabi whaaaaaaaat??? Stop reading this thing and go eat. read more

We really wanted to like this place as we are a sushi loving family. This is the second time we've been with negative experiences. The first was when they had very recently opened so I was trying to get them the benefit of the doubt. We ordered, and waited for 30 - 40 minutes or so before they told us the kitchen was backed up and it would be even longer before they even started cooking. With two young kids in tow we said forget it and left. (Server asked if we were okay with waiting or if we wanted to leave.) Now tonight, the food was just mediocre and they forgot sides to a dish. When asked about it server went to ask and came back the with tiniest portions I've ever seen. Just overall disappointing experiences. Both times. read more

If I was on a deserted island I always said just leave me with sushi (so I am kinda a sushi snob). Went there with 3 other family members last Sunday night and it was fabulous! Amazing sushi and service, clean and no wait. We voted it as our new favorite sushi restaurant read more

this is my second time coming here and i was decently disappointed to say the least. first of all, i was in the establishment for probably over an hour at the bar and didnt see the male sushi chef change his gloves once, he touched a VARITY of things, from RAW fish, rice, receipts, COOKED fish, and fresh clean plates. DISCUSYING. as a person with a food allergy this makes me VERY nervous. the cross contamination was insane aswell!! there was fish eggs on what looked like to be cooked chicken i think? there was also some sort of wasabi/greenery on what looked to be yellowtail?? my boyfriend orderd the chicken roll which is supposed to be severed hot, right? we literally watched the male sushi chef make the chicken roll. it sat on the counter for probably like 10-15 minutes. when it couldve taken about 5 seconds to hand to us it warm. read more

Sake Sushi - all of our food - Sushi Bars Near Me - Auburn, California

Literally worst restaurant experience of my entire life. I walk in, no one acknowledges me after almost 5 mins so I just asked if I could sit alone at the bar. I sit down and once it's my turn to order I explain first thing that I am gluten free and dairy free strictly-I will absolutely get sick if I eat either. I ask if this is an issue for the chefs at all and the waitress tells me NO NOT A PROBLEM. I order 4 rolls perfectly fine only swapping the special sauce for siracha mayo -the waitress said this will be NO PROBLEM. The rolls come after I had been waiting over 30 minutes- and they do not have siracha mayo but a mystery sweet mayo that the waitress and chefs have absolutely no idea what the ingredients are. Once again I'm talking to the waitress about how she had assured me that there wouldn't be any gluten or dairy and all of a sudden the chef is yelling at me and another customer felt it necessary to tell me that it isn't the restaurants job to know what is in their food. It most certainly is the restaurants job to know what is in their food. If you have allergies don't eat here. I'm also extremely disappointed because I was excited to support this specific owner, and was a fan of their specific items minus the mystery sauce. Apparently the sauce is required to eat here. read more

We took the family and in-laws last night for the first time. Some of those family members let their opinion known good or bad so it was an unknown how things would shake out. I will say we were all very happy with the quality of the rolls and ramen. David was our server and he was very attentive. Overall for the first outing I was extremely happy with the experience. Like all new restaurants I'm sure there are a few kinks to work out but good on them so far and I'm confident things will get even better. The interior of the restaurant was very nice too and a welcoming space. read more

My first time in to sake sushi was not a pleasant experience. They are new to Auburn and I believe they haven't been open very long.. I thought I would go in and give them a try. Sat down the bar since I was in by myself. A lady brought by bean pods and water and a setting and left. No food server approached me at all nor did they approach the two people that were sitting next to me. I looked at my menu and decided what I wanted. More time at past and nobody had come by to even ask me if I would like a drink or if I was ready to order. When I say time it pass, I mean 10 to 15 minutes. Finally the sushi chef asked me if I would like something. Now this guy was busy, but he took the time to ask me what I wanted. I ordered a five piece hotel sashimi and a Ramen bowl black Ramen bowl with pork belly. Within 10 minutes, I had my sashimi plate. He served me. No food server has shown up yet to ask me if I would like something to drink or to take an order. As time goes by finally he says something to one of the food servers and lady comes over and says that the black Ramen takes a little longer to make. I say OK I'll have some sake. More time goes by a young man shows up and asked me if I needed something cause he noticed that I've been patiently waiting and I said I've been waiting on a Ramen bowl. He went to scare one up for me. He came back since they're making it right now and I said no what cancel that just charge me for my sashimi and my sake and I'll be out of here. And that was my experience at sake sushi . The problem here is the food servers. Nobody is dedicated to the bar and watching them it seemed a little chaotic and also when the orders came up of who was getting what they need some ironing out to do. I'll give them a month and I'll go back and try it again. read more

Got the teriyaki salmon bowl/plate and it was so delicious!! Definitely coming back to try other offerings
