Delicious sushi, loved our waitress....but no mention of the birthday boy? That was kind of disappointing.

Food tasted good, but very overpriced. Very small portions for high prices. Not a good value. The soup appetizer was mostly all broth with 3 shrimp for 6.50. Everything is sized tiny so you have to keep ordering multiple items.

Disappointed. This was our go to place for fine Asian cuisine (not much available in the Lewes area). Last night’s dinner was a significant shortfall. Portions have been reduced (one dish served on shredded lettuce to give the appearance of “more” and another with half the plate being broccoli). Additionally, serving “reheated and stale” brown rice a poor showing. Icing on the cake was the salad served with a blonde hair on top of it in clear view (my wife and step daughter are Asian so clearly not the source). A real lack of attention to detail. Hopefully this criticism will be taken constructively as it’s our last hope for near-authentic Asian cuisine.

First time and will be the last time. Our server was nice but the food is horrendous. Dim Sum appetizer was mushy and lacked flavor. The fried wonton were greasy and flavorless. Don't get me started on the sushi. The rice was a weird color of brown. It looked like and smelled like it was leftover from last night. We didn't finish it, too scared to get food poisoning. The decor is dated and in need of a good cleaning. Do not waste your time here.

Wonderful food. Sushi/Sashimi Boat is perfect. Service is excellent and we even caught the latter part of Happy Hour. We love Saketumi

We came in on 9/26/2025 at 5:30 pm. (Myself & my husband).
We were sat down & quickly ordered our food. I’ve been coming here since I was a child, and already knew what I wanted.
About 10 minutes late, our appetizer had came out, and my sushi roll. I ordered the hibachi steak, and normally I eat the miso soup with my sushi roll, but the miso soup and the salad never arrived. We waited… and waited……….. and waited….. and waited…. Waited some more…. Then finally…. No miso soup, no salad, no entrees arrived after an entire hour. Was the place busy? Moderately. Were we in a rush? No..
So finally, she comes to the table, and asks “are you ready?” ……….. Am I ready for what? The food I ordered an hour ago? Well, I would think I’m ready for the food I ordered an hour ago? So, I said yes. She gave me a weird face and said “I wasn’t sure if you guys were ready”…….. Why would I not be ready???????………….
So, we got up and left. I lost my appetite at this point… and the Japanese manager was just as rude and lost as the server was. He looked like he had just landed on planet Jupiter and did not know what to say. I don’t even know if he understood my clear English explanation.
I will never return, and neither should you. The food is not even what it was 10 years ago.

We got about 10 different rolls and honestly they were all very good and I feel that’s rare that every roll is a hit.

We eat at saketumi often and it never disappoints. Our server was terrific and so was the food. Saketumi is our favorite sushi spot at the beach.
Really incredible japanese sushi. Speaking as someone who has been to Japan multiple times, this is authentic as it gets. Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

I’ve been going to Saketumi for several years now when I travel to and from Ocean City MD. I stop here with my family for their amazing assortment of sushi and East Asian cuisine. They also serve tea and cocktails as well.

Second time is a charm!!!!! Not gonna lie, first time was super disappointed but decided to give it a second chance. This time was way better then previous. If you go, please allow yourself extra time since food took long and service wasn't 💯.

All of our food was great aside from the Chicken Katsu—it was extremely dry, almost like jerkey.

The server wasnt very friendly. But we did get what we needed and wanted. The food was hot and arrived very quickly. The portions were not oversized. So no need to share entrees. The walnut shrimp was excellent. Unless seated in a booth the chairs were hard no padding. The place was very noisy. The booth location seemed to be a lot more inviting. .
