I'm confused by the very low reviews in this place. I wonder if most of the reviews were before the restaurant expanden it's location. They did a full remodel and expanden so it's larger. We came here for lunch and just ordered two jb rolls. The rolls were actually really good. A lot of fish. And beautifully decorated. I was very impressed. Service was also great. Very quick which is what we needed bc it was for lunch during work. Give this place another shot bc I think it has improved a lot. read more

1 Star -- Unacceptable Management Experience at Sushi Sake Miami Lakes I previously worked as a hostess at Sushi Sake Miami Lakes, and my experience with management, particularly Lorenzo, was extremely disappointing. I have hearing difficulties, and I was terminated after an incident in which I could not hear Lorenzo properly. Rather than taking the time to communicate clearly and understand the situation, he accused me of being rude and fired me. I did not intend to disrespect him, and I felt I was not given a fair opportunity to explain myself. What I find especially upsetting is that this could have been handled through a simple, professional conversation. Instead, I lost my job over a misunderstanding involving my hearing difficulties. I felt dismissed, disrespected, and deeply disappointed by the way the situation was handled. In my opinion, management should demonstrate patience, professionalism, and respect when dealing with employees. My experience left me seriously questioning how workplace conflicts are handled at this establishment. I believe employees deserve to be heard before decisions are made that affect their livelihoods. I am also considering my legal options regarding the circumstances of my termination. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this restaurant as a place to work. The way my situation was handled by management left me with a very negative impression, and I would give my experience zero stars if that were an option. read more

Waitress is great but the cook not so great. Rice so greasy to eat. Too much salt as well. Definitely not a Japanese cook

Not a food complaint * Im extremely disappointed and feel completely disrespected. I've came to this sushi sake location numerous occasions and had plenty of good experiences. I walked in today and ordered the usual as I waited for a friend to arrive. They brought out my sushi which looked and tasted so freaking GOOD! I ate a few slices and I'm drinking my green tea and had to step out side for a quick second. I few seconds after walking out side the girl serving me ran outside chasing me yelling " EXCUSE ME!! Hello!?!? DID YOU FORGET TO PAY SOMETHING?!?!" Seriously?? There was no reason what so ever to make a scene on a customer even if you assumed that I was trying dine and dash. She could of called my attention professionally, but instead she profiled me and I feel embarrassed and really disappointed that this happen at one my fav sushi restaurant. My appetite was gone completely. I couldn't even finish eating my food. I literally just picked at 3 slices and sipped a little of my tea. And despite how upset I was I payed for the food I didn't every get to enjoy. Please address staff and conduct a better training. I' read more

Horrible service. Most complicated place to order I've ever encountered. Took about 45 minutes for a take out order. The ladies couldn't care less about having us waiting around and only came back to let me know that they had to take it to the back to box it up which would take another 10 minutes extra (not sure why because they were almost empty ...shocker) I was so hungry I would've taken it without a bag to save the extra time. Sushi was just ok and not enough for me to endure that service again. They charged me extra for everything. Substitutions were ridiculous and their explanations for it even more. Their excuse was they needed to figure out how to charge it in the system. So I paid almost $50 for one roll and two crab salads. Never again. Too bad. I was looking forward to a good sushi place nearby. But I will drive to next one. Not worth the headache for bad service and sub par sushi. Bye Felicia! read more

Lean Ernesto as per the restaurant's manager, used racism remarks towards us. Leon Ernesto also stated "Son cubanos y se creen yumaaa" mind you I am not Cuban. Not only Lean Ernesto stated racism remarks but having an individual like him will not only affect our experience but your future guest but I'm sure it does not represent your restaurant. It all started when we ask to changed the music to a slow paced music vibe like for a confort of a restaurant. read more

First time ordering from sushi sake at Hialeah 49th st. I always order at the one in Hialeah Gardens. I ordered tempura bagel rolls which is sushi rolls fried and every single roll came barely fried. Also both my soy sauces came like it was used , like there was barely anything left in the little container they come in. I'll stick to the Hialeah Gardens one. read more

This food was very low quality at a high cost! My boyfriend was throwing up all night from the chicken as I believed it was under cooked . The sushi had no salmon on it and it was a Miami heat roll won't be back! Poor excuse for habachi read more

FIFTY DOLLARS for three appetizers and a child sized portion of dry tasteless fried rice. Used my hand too use as a size reference. Never ordering here again. read more

Unfortunately I had an extremely negative incident at this location today Sunday January 31, 2021 I came in at approximately 3:30 pm with my elderly mother for lunch. When I opened the front door, I came across a young male in dark clothing standing in the doorway leaning against the register. I said excuse me to this person several times more so for my mother so she can pass with ease. This person never moved and as my mother moved around him I told him "you could have moved, she is an older person" to which the male proceeded to tell me to "shut up, whatever" I told him "excuse me?!" He became belligerent and responded "you heard me!" to which I responded "you know what? You really need to learn how to respect people" I promptly took my mother out of there. This disgusting abhorrent behavior was witnessed by your young waitress with glasses and I honestly think she was too scared to do anything about the situation. This also occurred in front of all your patrons. I believe this disgusting behavior should not be tolerated anywhere and that management should have stepped in. I seldom venture out into this area however I don't think I will be returning to this sushi sake location. read more

I just now realised that this is the same place I reviewed 4 years ago...Different location but same issues. #1: they don't have a sushi for 1 on the menu...Well, they have something that I suppose is sushi for one, but it's $43..They have rolls on a separate menu card, but you can't even read the ingredients because the background is jet black...A number of the offerings are scratched off- amateurish. .....If you want to order sushi for one, you'll pay $18 for 4 pieces..The biggest issue is that this place charges 5* prices while the quality is basically on par with Publix take out...Sashimi appatizer is 3 pieces of tuna, salmon and whitefish....No flavor...Zero...Steamed dumplings are about the size of a marble, and they're all dough...no taste..And then you get your bill...The waitress hovers over you while she processes your bill at your table...Of course the tips start at 18%, so if you want to give less, you have to punch in the numbers on the portable computer right then and there in real time...I tip well, but this approach is a hustle...You're going to pay big here, but you're not going to receive value that's in line with the money....Go to Publix...Their imitation crab meat is just as mediocre... read more

Today I went to pick up some food for me and my kids, I spent 70$ in this place and when I got home I realize that the food was hard as a rock, old food from a refrigerator, even my kids food was old food. I'm really disappointed since I used to travel to this specific location because the food was so good. Safe to say not coming back to ANY sushi sake restaurant. What a waste of money. If I could I would give it 0 stars. read more

I found out about this hialeah location one day while doing a yelp search for sushi in my area. I love sushi sake and I really wanted my kani su but didn't feel like driving to the biscayne location. The dining area was a nice size. I briefly glanced the area as I ordered my food for pick-up. My favorite meal here is the kana su as an app and the rene roll. The rene roll I must say is absolutely delicious. It is a lithe small but I've never had an issue with seating. My friend girl loves their plum wine but I am not a drinker so I couldn't tell you. Overall I think it is a great place, with great sushi!! read more

Disappointed experience! No even 2 star . 3 orders of sushi $94 bill . No even a drink ... the taste wasn't that good ... nor a pro sushi taste ... I'm wondering why the excessive price in here ... the sever took forever to great the table . Only one server for the whole restaurant ... not e really good experience! Just be prepare! read more

It seems that when I went 2 months ago they were understaffed and the waiter wasn't sure about the menu. I asked him to make a simple change in the food order. And when he brought me the meal it was not what I asked for. The waiter was polite and the restaurant looks beautiful. I am hoping for improvement. read more

Food is okay. Honestly not bad, but Jesus Christ, the service in this place is consistently horrible. Whether dine-in or take-out, you're going to be waiting for at least an hour or more so just know that. Other than that, food is okay. I like their fried rice and bagel tempura. But do I think it's worth the wait? Meh. read more

Overpriced mediocre food. I ordered 3 sushi rolls and the special fried rice. The rolls were average and there was nothing fresh/special about them. The fried rice was the biggest disappointment. They charge $13 dollars for a tiny little container of rice that was not even tasty. The size was less than a pint, which is extremely overpriced. Do NOT order from here. There are better options out there. read more

Sushi Sake Hialeah - Overpriced fried rice. $13 dollars for less than a pint of tasteless rice. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Clean, good price and nice place and staff. Food is fantastic and fresh. Plating was also very pretty

Second time ordering takeout from this place. Fish wasn't great, left a lot to be desired especially for the price paid. Ordered a sushi dinner no octopus or eel which they did without a problem but they included imitation crab, tamago and a very fishy fish (mackerel or something similar to that) I guess to keep their cost down. While the tamago was good and imitation crab meat ok, I was expecting fish. Now I understand that sushi technically refers to the rice, but general practice at most sushi places would not be to give you imitation crab and tamago in such an expensive plate, definitely seems like a cost cutting measure. Also, if I don't like octopus and eel, I likely wouldn't like the fishy one they gave either. Luckily that was only 2 pieces. But 6 pieces of lackluster sushi out of 15 (two tamago, two imitation crab, two something fishy) is kind of disappointing for $36. Unfortunately I had forgotten that I had a similar experience the first time I ate there. Shame on me I guess. The gyoza was lackluster, probably frozen (although I'm sure most places serve something similar to be fair) and the chicken fried rice seemed way too greasy. The rice I've had at sushi maki seemed much lighter and more flavorful. While I'm sure there are some decent items here, I wasn't thrilled with my experience with this place. To each his own. read more

Sushi sake Hialeah is the worst, the food was ordered 2 hours ago and was made to wait 1.5 hours. The food was wrong after all that time and 17 other guests got their food before me. 1 star because 0 is not an option. read more

How is this place still open ? The salad lettuce looks like waxy plastic. The service is horrible they got my order wrong TWICE and then acted like they were annoyed with me cause they got it wrong meanwhile I'm there being as nice and understanding as possible. The wait is ridiculous and the price ugh just doesn't make any sense at all !!! I'm so over their establishments this isn't the only location or the first time it's so sad because at one time their food and service was great I guess they just don't care or hit rock bottom. read more

I have had two bad experiences with this place, the first I ordered by phone and when I picked up they gave me the wrong order, and when I got home it was closed. The second on the map shows that they close at 12 am and from 10:30 pm they don't take orders, a lack of respect, I don't recommend it... read more

Dry, smelly, not healthy looking piece of fish, belonging to volcano roll. The kani tsu roll was made of cucumber peel instead of the inside part.

We ordered 3 special fried rice and all came with half if that the usual portion. The kids meal which usually bring 3 pieces only brought 2. When we called back Michelle said Oh well bring it back.

Today I was feeling under the weather and wanted to drink a soup. Decided to give sushi sake at Hialeah a try. I ordered the Raman soup and a volcano roll. The soup was decent size, big enough for a meal. The taste was good needed the egg though but for the price it was ok. The volcano roll was really good. It was big enough to share. Both the hostess and the waitress were very welcome. The service was exceptional. Will definitely come back again. read more

Ok, so I absolutely love sushi and I like to try new places despite mixed reviews. In this case, the bad ones are true. This place was absolutely horrible. I would have given this place zero stars if possible. So I went with my partner and my friend and upon walking in the first thing I notice is that the host literally just stared at us, and until we were standing there for a minute she then asked us if we would like to sit towards the back or in the front, we didn't care so we just sat down where it was closest. We were then greeted by our server, she was perfectly nice.. Except she left halfway through and when I ordered a coke she brought me a small bottled one, and didn't advise me of it. The ambiance of this place was bad too, the decor is mixed and they were playing bachata videos very, very loudly on several flat screen TV's plastered on every wall. We were all pretty silent until we got to the car. So we then ordered, and we all got seaweed salads and my partner ordered a miso soup as well. The seaweed salad is literally the only thing that we ate that night that was good. The miso soup tasted like crap. I can't even put it any better than that. It had a bad taste and not a grain of salt in it. Terrible. We then ordered sushi. I ordered the Tiger roll and the Dragon roll. My friend ordered the Miami Heat roll and my partner ordered the Yummy roll and the Angel roll. And then as we usually do, we all shared our rolls and our reactions were all the same. The Yummy roll was the lesser of the evils..but they were all just bland and not fresh. Similar to the sushi you get at Publix. And not to mention the fact that this place is really expensive! Needless to say, none of us will be returning. We should have known. Sushi in Hialeah? Huge no. The croqueta filled sushi roll on the menu should have been a red flag. To top everything off, I was sick all morning the next day. Fun! So just a warning.. Stay away from this place. read more

Horrible. Absolutely dreadful. Ordered food to-go in person and when I thought everything was clear and well written, they bring me the wrong order. I ordered the "pineapple fried rice" and they gave me "fried rice with extra chicken and steak" I waited 40 mins for this crap. And don't get me started of the quality of food. Feels like they didn't pay their water bills because the rice was dry as hell. Sushi rice was Also dry. California rolls... crap, barely Any crab meet it avocados.. are we keeping rations??? Shameful and very disappointed. Want real sushi? Go to Hiro's in NMB. Now that's quality!!! read more

I usually come here because it's open late and I get the food to go but this time I decided to sit down and actually eat there and boy was it a mistake. I guess they were short staffed because the hostess was our waitress and she was really nice but the service was terrible. I ordered a roll and fried rice and my boyfriend ordered two rolls. We had to ask two different servers for spicy mayo before we actually got it. I finished my rice and still no roll. I asked for the check and for the roll to be removed. As I was waiting for the check I found a roach under the table. This is really disappointing because the food is actually descent. read more

I usually have a good experience at this location.... And maybe its my PMS - BUT..... "Tried" to call in order but person didn't know what i was talking about. (I used correct name). I spelled it and dsscribed it twice. He even asked co worker... "Sorry we dont have that here in this location" so i go order inside.... Order 3 Kani Su rolls (cucumber, crab abd vinegar). $10 each. Picture online shows 6 pieces... 2 of my orders have 5 pieces. 1 order has 4. I go back inside, talk to hostess whobtakes it to the back. I'm told that because chef sliced it thicker, its 4 pieces. AGAIN... 2 other orders have 5 and online it shows 6. So i paid 10$ for 4 pieces... Sorry Hialeah. I'd rather drive further to different location (and thats just because my husband loves your rice).... read more

I picked up food from this location today. That had two volcano rolls and an angel roll. The topping of the crab was rotten on both rolls. This is the most disgusting food I have ever had. My 8 year old who loves sushi could t even smell it. This place is a piece of crap. I will never go here again and I know one customer doesn't make a difference but I will make sure that no one that knows me ever has through go to this. read more

I was excited to try Sushi Sake ever since I heard it was opening. I finally went and ordered a crunchy role and some fried rice. The crunchy role was good and the fried rice was AMAZING! I'll probably order often since they are only a block away from me. The restaurant is small but it looks very nice. Of course you can't have a restaurant in Hialeah without some servers that look like straight up chongas. One girl in a denim outfit and another one in tights sandals she probably bought at traffic... yet all the guys are dressed in pants and a dress shirt. I wonder how the owner of this place arranged that disaster. Other than that, I like how they had music videos playing on their tv's. Now go try their fried rice! read more

Every other time the fish is spoiled here. Huge disappointment and waste of money especially if you're delivering.

I was very disappointed when I ordered my meals by phone I specified that I wanted steak teriyaki and shrimp teriyaki dinner with Hitachi rice come to find out that when I arrived at home I was given a lot of that white rice and the Teriyaki dinners didn't have enough sauce to even make that palatable so I proceeded to call the restaurant and as soon as they answer I spoke to someone and told them what happened someone in the back ground stated yelling but we didn't charge him. That's not the problem I would have paid extra for the Hitachi rice at that point I asked for the managers name I was put on hold and they never came back on the phone I took a pic of the recipe so that there is no dought this is a real review be careful and check your to go orders. read more
