she's an icon in brooklyn and truly the only ayce spot that is affordable now! the rolls were good, especially the dragon roll! the nigiri was great, along with the sides (kani salad, shrimp tempura, pork cutlet, and i don't remember what else but maybe skip the calamari). the service was fast and i quickly got seated for 2 people. as time went on, the place got packed and there was a group of ppl waiting so get there early! read more

Sake Sushi - Dragon Roll (8) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Arrived around 6:45PM on a Sunday, was seated around 7:30. We were a party of 8 so it did take a little longer to get seated. It did seem like most were groups of 3-4 people. The location is pretty small for an AYCE, in my opinion. I would recommend ordering more for the first order, within your limits because it can take a while to come out. But don't order too much because, in my experience, almost everything came out at once and the table was almost over-filled. The sushi and sashimi were a lot better than I expected. The salmon asparagus is really good as well, piping hot when it came out. The tempura was really oily, personally wouldn't recommend it but, also don't let my experience deter you from trying it. The fried rice doesn't really have much flavor and is also really oily. Lunch is $20/pp and dinner is $29/pp. I'd say it's pretty worth it for the price. read more

I've been to Sake a few times now, and it's easily one of my favorite all-you-can-eat sushi spots. The quality of the food is honestly way better than you'd expect for an AYCE restaurant. Everything tastes fresh, the sushi rolls are made to order, and there's a huge variety to choose from. The service has always been quick and friendly, even when it's busy. I also like that you can try a bunch of different rolls without worrying about the price adding up. If you're a sushi fan or just want a good meal, I'd definitely recommend checking out Sake. read more

Came here for lunch and it was pretty good. The sushi was decent quality. The handrolls had a lot more rice than I was expecting. The sushi was good though. The appetizers were also pretty good. The place is not that big so it did get crowded pretty quickly. The orders came out pretty quick. It was a nice little restaurant for an AYCE sushi place. read more

We came here for a weeknight dinner. For $30, It's a great price for an all You can eat sushi. Even though it's a Japanese restaurant, it's run by Chinese people. They say you have one hour to eat but they are lenient if there is no one waiting. I ordered all nigiri and some appetizers. The scallops were Excellent. They don't use the right batter for tempura. The uni nigiri did not taste fresh. I wish they offered carpaccio. The fried calamari were like onion rings. The spicy salmon skin salad was delicious. The escolar in the sashimi platter was excellent - very tender. All the teriyaki shrimp and salmon was way overcooked. read more

No alcohol was disappointing but I got busy with sushi! A definite recommendation for you to try, but be smart and go there Monday to Thursday and miss the crowd! read more

Came here on a whim after indecisiveness won me over. I was really craving sushi, but I somehow got talked into it despite not being very hungry. I've been to Sake once before many, many years ago. I don't remember having a great experience because of how crowded it was in a tiny space and things took forever to come out. This time around, I decided to give Sake another chance at their $28.95 AYCE dinner buffet. The restaurant was decently full on MLK day on a Monday. Food was very quick to arrive once the order was put in. The sushi rolls were of standard quality. There's no unlimited sashimi here, you can only order 1 of the sashimi platter per person. My favorite was the salmon, then the tuna, white tuna, and lastly, the red snapper which I did not enjoy - there were a lot of stringy pieces. They also had sea urchin sushi which had a limit of 2 pieces. I thought it was decent since it wasn't fishy. I was surprised to see that a lot of the special rolls have asparagus in them, which I'm not used to so I was limited to the few that omit that just in case I didn't like it. As a big appetizer gal, I tried several items on the list. A few that I do NOT recommend: - kani salad: felt like there was more cucumber than kani - crab meat ravioli: flat fried wonton wrapper with barely any crab meat cream cheese filling - chicken udon soup: the broth was very bland - you'll have to add in your own soy sauce/white pepper at the table - beef stir-fry udon: udon itself was more flavorful than the udon soup version, but the beef was flavorless and dry - shrimp tempura: this was just okay, feels like frozen tempura - please be mindful that each order comes with TWO pieces which was not noted on the ordering paper like the other items. I learned this the hard way! The other things that I ate were decent. I love eel and it was good enough for me. I will say, compared to other sushi AYCE buffets, Sake has a more limited menu and the quality was not as good. I know of other places that have unlimited sashimi for a few extra dollars. Although the hostess was nice and the waiters always filled our cups with hot tea, the convenient location of Sake on 86th Street sadly still doesn't justify the visit when there are other better sushi buffets out there! read more

Everyone that's grown up nearby knows about Sake and their AYCE sushi special. Often times you'll see them packed on the weekends with people gorging their faces full of as many pieces as possible before the time limit runs out haha. I wasn't feeling that this time though, so I simply ordered some rolls as part of the lunch special they have, which is quite the good deal actually. Each lunch special also comes with an order of soup or salad, and I don't know what it is about that orange dressing they put on, but it just hits every time haha. You can choose two special rolls per lunch special order and we ordered 4, including the Dragon and Dancing Eel roll, along with a few slices of salmon sashimi. Overall? It's decent quality pieces for the price, nothing really super great or unique but ey, it's pretty banger for the price. The service is also good, the servers are easy to talk to and approach about ordering. If you're feeling a craving for something cheap and reliable, I recommend this place and their lunch special. read more

Truly all you can eat sushi spot. It's a decent size space, very simple interior and casual vibe, but gets packed which means it's a good rotation of food. Service in the dining room is not necessarily the greatest but fast, portion size is regular (not that it matters) and they bring everything you order out. I've had multiple dinners here and food is always good. They don't have drinks/bar but it's not a deal breaker for me. If you're hungry and don't mind lack of attention from waiters it's a good spot to get sushi. read more

Long wait time but once you sit and order food comes really quick! Good AYCE for decent food.

Always amazing. Have been going for over 10 years and never disappointed. Staff is attentive and food is fresh

Went on a Saturday morning before 11:30am and was empty, seated right away. FYI - AYCE had an one hour limit. Food came out quickly as we ticked of items on the sheet. Staff came often to take our plates and our sheets with the items checks off. Food is ok, don't expect high quality sushi. Also the lunch menu has less items than the dinner menu. The fried items were mostly batter (ordered the fried calamari and shrimp tempura). As for the rolls, they were ok, there was a more avocado and cucumber than eel and fish. Overall, a neighborhood ayce spot for sushi. read more

1hr limit on AYCE so the sushi comes out quickly. Fish tasted fresh and there was a good variety of premium rolls. It was hard to get a waiter's attention towards the end for the check since they were busy getting orders to other tables.

My girlfriend recently stopped by this sushi place on her way home from work. She placed the order in advance, and it was ready before she arrived there. It was a smooth process to pick up. We have tried this place twice now, and both times, the sushi rolls were great. First, I would like to point out that their prices are so cheap. You get amazing deals here on all of their rolls. Some of the rolls that we tried and enjoyed were their California Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Rock Shrimp Roll. Every one of these choices was so good. You get 6 pieces in each, and like I mentioned before, it was well worth it for the price. We have also tried their Miso Soup and Regular Salad, and it blended perfectly with the sushi rolls. Overall, this is a great spot to pick up some sushi to eat on the go! read more

Lunch is $19.95! They are super fast and efficient. Decent crowd for lunch on a Monday! Most of the nigiri pieces had a decent fish to rice ratio! Would not recommend the tamago or the tuna but other than that the raw fish was very good for this price. I thought the rolls were really great! Miso soup tasted like bland hot water. Unfortunately I overestimated my appetite and ate way too much - such is the danger of all you can eat places - but it is such a novelty to be able to pig out at such an affordable price! They seemed to have many takeout/delivery orders as well. read more

The best ayce sushi spot in the tri-state area, and I've been to many ayce sushi spots. Both Lunch and dinner prices are reasonable, the food is fresh and good quality, and service is quick. The owner and staff are very friendly. They don't overload the nigiri pieces with rice, and rolls and hand rolls are well proportioned between rice and fish. Sake is a true gem in the neighborhood. read more

《Mediocre sushi and ehhh service》 This is a popular AYCE sushi restaurant in Bensonhurst 86ths Street area. Usually I avoid it as I've been there twice in my life (2010 & 2011) and it didn't impressed me. This is a local favorite in the community with decent offerings at a cheap price $18.96 for lunch and $26.99 for dinner. Seems to be mostly popular with young teenagers trying out sushi for cheap price. Mediocre sushi (frozen and not too fresh), poorly made sushi (rice fell apart in nigiri pieces), and cramp tight spaces. Expect long waits on Fridays and weekends. Party of 2 was about 36min wait last night. Hubby wanted sushi as a celebratory dinner but didn't want sushi rolls from Ninja 86 sushi so we decided to come for AYCE. Better off going elsewhere. Our table was roughly 5inches away from the table on the left (teenagers on a date) and we heard their entire date. Tiny table to fit AYCE food?- terrible. The wait staff brings out the platters of food and expect you to rearrange everything yourself. They only clear plates when necessary after bringing new plates, otherwise it just sits at your table the whole time. We just stack our plates in the middle in a pile. I was holding 2 new plates of food once while they were putting other dishes down and I had to ask them to removed the empty plates in the middle. 1hr meal service but we had ate quickly and order more. Didn't feel rush but we got full quickly (probably lost our appetite). Because of the busy vibe/hurried service, not everything was fully clean and I doubt servers washed their hands in between bussing tables, wiping down the table with same rag and quickly putting new napkins/chopsticks down with the same hands. There was a piece of rice on my chopstick and a sushi piece that looked like it had hair. After hubby moved it abit, it disappeared which left us to believe it was a vein in our nigiri? Did ordered a few hot kitchen items: gyoza, kaki fry (fried oysters), beef yaki udon Interesting food item Quail Egg nigiri Didn't expect the raw egg on nigiri sushi. Was curious about it to order as I expected sliced boiled quail egg (kinda like sliced avocado spread out on Dragon roll). There should be a warning about raw egg as not everyone would enjoy that. I didn't mind it as it was interesting but I'm pretty sure most may not like that. Won't be coming back again. This is our 3rd and final time.. or until we forget and decide to give them another try. read more

Generic sushi for a decent price. If you're in the mood to overstuff yourself with mediocre sushi, then this place is for you! A couple of my favorite options include the dragon roll, rainbow roll, shumai, and calamari. Everything else was okay. Presentation was poor but I feel like they work really fast so who knows because it's all going into one place. Service was okay too. They did the bare minimum. You get an hour to scarf down your food. read more

Sake Sushi - Avocado roll, Tofu Skin, Sweet Potato Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I haven't come here since pre-pandemic for the sushi buffet, but I often come here to get their sushi lunch special to go! Honestly, for the price point, I really can't complain. I believe currently it's 3 regular rolls for $8.25 or so which is my go-to when I come for the lunch special. The lunch special also comes from a free miso soup or salad - they ask you to pick one! I mean where can you really get 3 sushi rolls for under $10 nowadays? They also offer an additional 10% off if you do takeout which is super neat. I absolutely love ordering their alaska rolls which consists of raw salmon, cucumber and avocado. As a salmon lover, it always hits the spot for me. I haven't had an experience where the rolls weren't fresh. I did, however, order a roll with raw tuna once and thought the tuna was not fresh. The color just seemed off and I ended up tossing that roll. Ever since then, I've refrained from ordering their rolls consisting of tuna. Aside from the alaska roll, I also love their special california roll or rock shrimp roll! For those who don't love raw fish - these might be the rolls for you! There is a bit of a wait if you order to go so keep that in mind! They're super busy and popular. I'd suggest either calling ahead for your order or if you order in person just keep in mind it'll probably take 15-20 minutes for them to make your order. read more

I have been to this place many times in the past and it was always consistent and good. Now the prices went up, $18.95 for lunch with a 1 hour time limit. I understand the price increase, but not the time limit with their extremely slow service. That was before I tasted the food. Everything was mediocre. There was a lot of rice in each piece and the rice was mushy. The kani salad was terribly bland, we couldn't eat more than 2 bites. The shrimp tempura had a weird texture. The best among the worst was probably the squid and the salmon. Definitely not worth your money. Although we didn't order much, everything took forever to come to our table and we never got a plate to eat with. They also forgot a lot of the items we ordered.If you had good memories here years ago, don't come back and ruin them like I did. I feel bad for this place because it went downhill and it's extremely bad now. read more

Came here for lunch on Saturday and there was about a 5 min wait. Food was good for AYCE $19. They obviously put more rice than normal sushi places but this is expected. I saw a lot of reviews saying the service is terrible here but I had pretty good service. They refilled my tea/water and food came quickly. I had questions about certain rolls and they were happy to explain. I've been here a few years ago and the wait used to be horrendous. There were some times where the fish felt frozen but not this time -- everything was good. My favorites here are the regular salmon, smoked salmon and kani salad. read more

This review is for the lunch specials at Sake Sushi. Ever since the pandemic, I've found myself eating takeout more often than dining in due to my fear of getting sick. Prior to the pandemic, I used to come to Sake Sushi at least once a year to eat the AYCE sushi with friends and family and always had an enjoyable time. With how prices have skyrocketed due to inflation recently, I found myself going to Sake Sushi more frequently when I craved sushi because of their lunch menu. Not often will you now find a place where you can get 3 regular rolls or 2 special rolls for less than $8 with a soup or salad as a side. I believe that more people should take advantage of this because you can easily have a sushi lunch with friends and family at home for less than $30. Now for some recommendations: Alaska Roll - must get if you like salmon rolls since it comes with avocado and cucumber too Rock Shrimp Avocado Roll - another good option Eel Avocado Roll - I love eel so this is an easy pick for me Spicy Crunch Scallop Roll - another good option Get the lunch special. I think you'll enjoy it as much as I do. :) read more

Its been a very long time since I've been here, and to start, its still a rather inexpensive ayce sushi restaurant. Though the appeal is still towards high schoolers. The current price per person for lunch is 18.95 with a 1 hour limit. Food wise, its not that many options and there's no option for sashimi for lunch. We ordered 4 spicy salmon rolls, 2 white tuna rolls, a salmon avocado and a Philadelphia roll, 6 squid sushi, smoked salmon, and 4 eel sushi. These are your average rolls. The eel was really sad looking, as if its been reheated several times and days old. To the very least, it didn't taste that way. If you're looking for quality for price, this isn't it. read more

Where do I even begin... ambience. The place is a shoe box so don't even expect comfort. Food: this is AYCE, let's be really honest. You just can't expect top notch quality and it is what it is. Expect to get everything you ordered the first round. Beginning the 2nd round they start "missing" items you ordered. Cheap trick! Service: here is where it gets interesting. They clearly hire anyone with or without experience, and whether or not they are courteous to the customers just isn't a concern to them. Therefore, expect bad service, they're just plain rude, and that goes for everyone, from the wait staff to management. This is where the whole tip culture really needs a second look. You should be tipped for providing good service. A tip should never be mandatory. Nowhere else in the world is like this. My advice is just go somewhere else. read more

My friend and I love this sushi spot! The service is very fast once they sit you down they'll give you a piece of paper to put the quantity of whichever items you want. My go to is always their eel avocado or their salmon teriyaki entree. I would highly recommend. Sometimes if you go during rush hour time it does get busy and you'll probably have to wait 30min and the table is very compact together so there isn't too much space. read more

It's been years since I've been here since I moved out from the neighborhood and decided to come visit since I was passing by. I remember this place being one of my favorite spots for sushi and I would always come here with my friends after school. I have to say that I am quite disappointed with my visit here. The quality of the food went down, the fish wasn't as fresh as it used to be, and overall service was mediocre. The only thing I really enjoyed that stayed consistent was the kani salad. Still one of the best kani salads I've had from all the other sushi places I've gotten it from. Other than that, I don't think I would order anything else from here. Sad to see such a nice neighborhood ayce sushi place go downhill as I had such fond memories here. I would just pass on the ayce at this price point and order from a local non-ayce sushi restaurant. read more

No hidden surprises here. Not the best cuts of fish but definitely fresh and tasty. You can't beat the price - $20 for all you can eat lunch.
