When I first walked in I was a little hesitant it was a small place and one other person was in there. We sat and waited 5 min to be asked our drink order despite there was no one in there. Then we got rolling my wife and I order the ayce menu and damn there is alot of options for 22 a person some sushi isint there but for what ur paying you will get more than your moneys worth. Everything we ordered was made right then and there for us no long lags or delays after you order something like some restaurants do (hooters). All the sushi was fresh and very good quality I was surprised expected a little less quality.

My sushi addiction has led to irreversible long-term damages, namely resentment in relationships due to my refusal to try other places and mercury poisoning. Like others afflicted with this condition, we all have our favorite sushi joint, probably backed up with dogmatic views on what makes it perfect. Welp, I'm no different. For example, there's a few sushi joints in Jax that have a cult-like following. But I'll just call them *Tasty* Sushi and *Psycho* Sushi. *Names have been poorly changed to protect the guilty.* I was reluctant to try Sake Sushi. I drank the Kool Aid elsewhere. My man friend suggested it on a whim. Hey, it was close. Much closer than my beloved Chizu. Cross-referencing Google Places, Yelp, and Urbanspoon offered no feedback because it was new. I mean, with so many other options available in Jax or in general for sushi, what really sets them apart? For the most part, prices are competitive across the board. It is expensive and frustrating whenever you get bad sushi. Because that atrocities happens. Like when the chef drowns a roll in sauce to disguise old tuna, then denies it. Nuggets of fish, rivaling oxidized ground beef. Rice reminiscent of Rice Krispies or porridge. Ew, no. So factor out price. So it just comes down to service, quality, and execution. Profound, I know. Sake Sushi NAILS that trifecta. It is my absolute favorite sushi joint. + Service [Disclaimer: I get it. Maybe it's a cultural thing, being Asian myself, but Asian women that work FOH are not typically the-in-your-face, gregarious or assertive types. This ain't Moe's. Instead they usually lean towards more reserved and soft-spoken and there's nothing wrong with that. HOWEVER, there's a huge difference between that and standoffish, being mute, or just plain awful at your job. I have taken to eating at the sushi bar to ease the pain of being torn between top-notch sushi and the disappointment of dismal service.] But NOPE, not here! I only sit at the sushi bar for their all-you-can-eat special ($20/person) as I like shoveling things down my gullet as quickly and efficiently as possible, and also to avoid burdening our server to meet the speed our ravenous appetites. The owner's wife is the epitome of the perfect host/server and the reason I stopped wasting my time & money elsewhere... *Cazu*, *Tasty* Sushi. She's incredibly sweet, welcoming, personable, attentive. + Quality/Execution The owner is just as awesome as his wife. Adept at what he does. I've never had a bad roll ever. I do love fancy frou frou rolls from time to time. Usually I'm boring. I always order either charashi or salmon avocado rolls. But even though it's simple, he nails the basics. A generous chunk of fresh salmon, buttery ripe avocado, and perfectly cooked rice. Rice to filling ratio, done right. None of that seaweed log o' rice bs found here. If the sushi chef nails the most seemingly simplest of items...Just take my money! All of it. After eons of disappointment, Sake Sushi has redefined my expectations and set the bar high for all sushi joints. I go here exclusively for sushi. I have had the tempura and hibachi which are also bomb. Never greasy nor overcooked. They actually know what medium rare means, maybe some people don't understand what they're ordering. Other deets: The restaurant is large, with usually a few booths taken. Location is key, but is compromised by visibility. While it is at a major intersection, it is tucked away and difficult to see. Most people that go to this plaza are there to visit La Nopalera. I've been going to Sake Sushi for several years now. I was hesitant about writing this review, only because I selfishly wanted to keep this gem a secret, much like their fried Oreos, but that's really doing no one any good. Check them out!

Service was ok. Everyone else's food was good. The tempura was a bit greasier than I am used to. And the steak was was a little colder and much more raw than I'm used to. I ordered the steak hibachi lunch, medium rare. Not lukewarm/cold and completely uncooked. On top of that, they either forgot to put in my food or they forgot to cook it. I got my food about 10 min later than everyone else after being asked what I ordered by 3 different people. I just had them box up my replacement meal. Basically, I sat there for an hour so I could eat appetizers and get a to-go. The ginger dressing was nice and I liked the clear soup. It wasn't greasy like so many other places. I won't be back and I don't recommend it.

I was from out of town, and tried this place on a whim. I'm from Washington DC where Sushi places are a dime a dozen. Great sushi for the price. I'll be back! Oh yeah, and I got a free Sake because it's Mothers Day. Added bonus!

Already ate twice in their first month of business. I personally really like their sushi. The service was great, they had great deals at the time so i didnt pay as much as i usually pay for my sushi meals. One occasion is when they totally over-loaded, and i mean OVERLOADED my green tea with the green tea leaves... It was so bitter, we couldnt have more than one sip. Other than that my overall experience was pleasant with Sake Sushi.

My husband and I have eaten here twice. We really enjoy the food. The food was great! It was a little pricier than the other sushi place we normally go to, but the sushi was fresh, the service was great, my husband LOVED his hibachi, and the fried ice cream was delicious, though the size of the scoop was very small for what they charged compared to other places. The ambience was nice and clean. This is our new favorite sushi/hibachi place. What really stood out for this visit was that the waitresses remembered us and asked how we were. Sometimes those little things make a big difference, especially when there are so many restaurants out there.

My wife and 2 of our friends had dinner here. It was a quiet night and our orders came out prettry quick. We had a few appetizers, sushi rolls and drinks. I enjoyed my seafood salad and hot sake. Our sushi rolls were very good but nothing out of the ordinary if you are looking for more variety. The sishi was very fresh and well presented to us. We will definitely be back but no rush.
Good service. Good food and i love the all you can eat for 21 dlls. Just write down what you order when in a large group. We were about 20 people and i went by my list to get all i order. Subsequently i went with my daughter, wife, son in law and grandbaby and service was excellent. Food is great. I order a spider roll and it was 10 pieces about 1 inch thick each piece. Tempura is much better than other restaurants. Main thing is not grease. Highly recomendable

Went here on my Birthday, which also happened to be Super bowl Sunday..service was great, and the food was delish!! I'm not sure if it was because I was busy talking to my male company, but I didn't take any pictures of the FOUR sushi rolls and the scallop and steak hibachi meal we had!! the miso soup was really really good!

About a month ago I have been searching for a great a sushi spot. I know very little of Sushi outside of California Roll and the Shrimp Tempura, but I must say their Shrimp Tempura is the best I've had so far. I've also tried the Boston and Avocado Roll and it's wasn't for me. The customer service is great! I always seem to come later at night right before closing and you'd think I'd get rushed service to get me out of there, but no! Out of the six or seven times I've been here I haven't had one bad experience.

I can't believe I have never been here before! This place was really good and I most definitely see myself coming back over and over again. Came in with the whole family (15 adults/2 kids) for a small celebration on a Thursday night. Of course with such a huge party we got tables put together and had one super awesome long table. Once it was decided that it would be easier to order off the all you can eat menu, ordering commenced! The food and portions on the all you can eat were amazing!!! I really thought that the rolls would be skimped on, or presentation would be sub par but I was seriously impressed with how neat the plating was for everyone's individual order. I also have to say that be-careful! The portions are huge on the non-sushi items!! I ordered the chicken tempura appetizer which came out after my rolls but I didn't care because we were such a large party that I was okay with them bringing the food as it came out. The chicken tempura was well fried, crispy and full of panko crumbs! I also got a chicken hibachi off the AYCE menu and was blown away by the amount I received. The veggies were very well cooked(not too soggy or mushy, just the right amount of crisp) and the chicken itself was very tasty! Very good flavor and seasoning. My only complaint I guess would be that the veggie chunks were a bit bigger than I'm used to but it didn't stop me from eating up the whole plate with my 3 year old. I also got chicken tempura rolls which were very very good! I didn't leave a single crumb! I also got a California roll which was pretty standard but none the less, tasty! What I really liked about the sushi rolls is that they had a perfect amount of rice. Not too much but not too little and the filling was visible. Often times I go to other restaurants and the filling is almost non-existent so I was very happy with their rolls. I also got an order of noodles, which were probably the only thing I wasn't too crazy about. They weren't stir fried enough so they were a bit soft/mushy. However that did not stop my child from eating the whole plate of them by herself!! The chicken fried rice was really good! It had chunks of chicken, and I was really surprised by how the quality was most definitely not skimped on it either. It had the perfect fried rice texture that I love, like when it's cooked on a grill at those restaurants that cook in front of you. Perfect! For us being such a large group everything went pretty well. Only thing that happened was that they gave my grandparents my uncles order but in their defense it was a very similar order. So if you go in a large party group be sure to listen out for your food when it's brought out. The food didn't take very long to come out and non of us were waiting around for re-orders or anything. They were very proactive in meeting our needs, smiled and were so kind the whole time. Honestly we all left happy and with smiles on our faces and to satisfy a huge family like ours is no easy feat! Also, to those of you who are scared anout being charged for extra food, I had about half plates of a few things (rice, sushi roll, and tempura veggies) and they were kind enough to offer me a box to bring my leftovers in. I didn't have any whole rolls or an exaggerated amount of food left over and I also didn't order anymore food after that. They did not charge us anything to bring the food home. I thought that was very kind and awesome customer service! I definitely say this place warrants a visit! I most definitely will be back! Happy eating!!

Oh my goodness! I am so thrilled to have finally found a Japanese & Sushi place that serves my most favorite dish, "oyako don." AND it has met all of my expectations of the other usual fare. The soup is ....hmmmm..the most flavoraful I 've tasted in awhile. The hot sake is always on special..by one or small/ large and get one more for free. My sister and I love to relax and sip Sake while venting and laughing. We are both elementary teachers so we have plenty of things to cry and laugh about...lol. We like to experiement with different sushi rolls, but can never quite find the perfect combo of ingredients. Wait! One of the rolls is called...."CREATE YOUR OWN." BINGO! I am hooked now! This place is one of the few places that has a roll on its menu called "create your own." BINGO! My other friend, who loves tea, said the green tea was great. Not bittler as I read from the previous review. We were told that the previous server was new and made a mistake. If you have never tried c""hicken oyako don, it is white rice in a huge bowl cooked with carmelized onions, 2 scrambled eggs, juicy chicken cuts and secret seasonings served in a large bowl. It is moist and not dry at all. My fiance doens't care for chicken, but when I brought home my leftovers he ate the whole thing! Now I have to tell him to "stay away from my "oyako don." ha/ha The prices are fair, atmosphere is good and service is friendly. The food is awesome. They have only been here a few months as of this writing, but I would hate to see it go out of business due to its location which is right around the corner and not visible by Philips Hwy & Baymeadows. It is near La Naps. Please come and give it a try.

I loved the place. Ive been to restaurants in the area that served sloppy sushi and the sushi place at the Landing charged me double what I paid here. If you want mediocre sushi order mediocre california rolls..you want tasty art you order the chef specialties..common sense.. and despite the prior reviews..this restaurant has only been open for 8 months.. Im thinking people are getting this location confused with the other sake sushi restaurant in Jacksonville not even related. And of course service will be slow if you have a full restaurant that walks in at the same time...want to enjoy a good meal and have attentive service..come during the non-rush hours..ie. dont come at lunch rush or dinner rush..again common sense.. summing it up...a must try atleast once for dinner after 8:00pm order Volcano roll, Sweet Girl roll, and the Pearl roll. My favorites!

Mediocre and expensive. The service was very slow. I'm willing to pay a lot and wait a while for really good sushi, but I didn't even finish my food this time, it was so bad.

In Jacksonville, there isn't too many good sushi places. We usually order from Fuji Sushi on baymeadows which is low priced and incredible food. It was our first time at Sake Sushi because we were hungry for sushi and on that part of town. It has a good vibe. TV's playing, waitress comes to you right away. They explain everything. Good happy hour prices. For what we got at Sake Sushi would have been $24 at Fuji Sushi. It was $45 at Sake Sushi. It's a bit expensive for sushi and I think they should lower their prices. A funny note is outside they have a "Grand Opening" banner. You think, "Wow! I want to support a new business!" We found out when getting served they just celebrated their 2 year anniversary. Ha.

This place was huge compared to the other sushi restaurants. A lot of space and it looks like they can even add more tables if they need too. Came in with a very large party (10+) and they were able to accommodate us easily. They have an ALL YOU CAN EAT menu from appetizers to sushi to the hibachi grill. A very large selection and it's a good deal, if you can a lot of sushi (which I can). The specialty rolls (I think #26 to #33) you can order one roll per person. I ordered the Chicken Tempura and Veggies, Rainbow Roll, and Shrimp Tempura Roll to start with. My fiancé ordered Shrimp Tempura and veggies, Golden Dragon Roll, Banana Roll, Chicken Fried Rice, and Miso Soup. The Chicken Tempura and Veggies (and shrimp) were really good. Three pieces of chicken (and shrimp) , 1 mushroom, 1 broccoli, 1 onion, & 1 sweet potato. Very nicely portioned and well cooked. Very crispy and tasty. Nothing soggy. Goes perfect with the tempura sauce of course. Rainbow roll was very well presented. Different colors represented the different raw fish used. A very good amount. Very delicious. :) Golden dragon roll was really good. I recommend it with the rainbow roll. It's probably the top specialty to choose first as well. Banana roll wasn't too bad. It's basically fried banana in a roll. It actually reminds me when my grandmother used to make the banana rice wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. The memories :) I only tasted a spoon of the fried rice because I was very close to reaching my FULL mark. I thought it was a little bit tasteless but maybe it's because I had so many sushi flavors in my mouth? Maybe. I was waiting for my Shrimp Tempura roll and the waitress forgot to put in my order. At this time, I'm pretty stuffed but I ordered anyways. There were 5 pieces but well filled. Very good. Overall, this place was awesome. Would love to come back with friends and family. This will make your day.

And of course service will be slow if you have a full restaurant that walks in at the same time...want to enjoy a good meal and have attentive service..come during the non-rush hours..ie. dont come at lunch rush or dinner rush..again common sense.. summing it up...a must try atleast once for dinner after 8:00pm order Volcano roll, Sweet Girl roll, and the Pearl roll. My favorites!

Mediocre and expensive. The service was very slow. I'm willing to pay a lot and wait a while for really good sushi, but I didn't even finish my food this time, it was so bad.

In Jacksonville, there isn't too many good sushi places. We usually order from Fuji Sushi on baymeadows which is low priced and incredible food. It was our first time at Sake Sushi because we were hungry for sushi and on that part of town. It has a good vibe. TV's playing, waitress comes to you right away. They explain everything. Good happy hour prices. For what we got at Sake Sushi would have been $24 at Fuji Sushi. It was $45 at Sake Sushi. It's a bit expensive for sushi and I think they should lower their prices. A funny note is outside they have a "Grand Opening" banner. You think, "Wow! I want to support a new business!" We found out when getting served they just celebrated their 2 year anniversary. Ha.
