Sakai Sushi is a small, unassuming sushi spot tucked into a quiet corner of an older strip mall. Despite its humble appearance, the restaurant is clean, and the customer service is friendly and attentive. It has just four tables for seating, making it a cozy place to enjoy sushi. The menu mainly focuses on catering and large takeout orders, but the quality of the food is excellent. The chef takes pride in using high-quality fish and shrimp, ensuring fresh and well-prepared dishes like the rainbow roll and nigiri. Regular customers appreciate the care and respect put into each dish, with some receiving special treats from the chef. The restaurant offers affordable options, including $7 rolls and $13 toro, and a sushi and roll combo that includes 7 pieces of sushi, a $15 roll, 2 miso soups, and 2 side salads, providing good value. The complimentary salad and miso soup are a nice touch, featuring fresh greens, a light soy-based dressing, tobiko, and seaweed instead of typical iceberg lettuce. Despite limited seating and a busy day with air conditioning struggles, the welcoming atmosphere and high-quality sushi make Sakai Sushi a hidden gem worth visiting for sushi lovers seeking a casual, affordable dining experience.
