Fresh fish and friendly staff. Miso soup is very flavorful, we order it extra for the next day.

Sakae Sushi is an absolute gem! I was impressed by the freshness and quality of the sushi—it rivals some of the higher-end spots but without the pretentious vibe or steep prices. The sushi was flavorful, and expertly prepared. You can tell they really care about what they’re serving.
The presentation was clean and elegant, and everything comes out at absolutely beautifully.
The service is consistently warm and attentive. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, they’re organized and efficient.
The atmosphere strikes a great balance—relaxed and welcoming, but still polished enough for a nice dinner out. Whether it’s a casual sushi night, a date, or a small celebration, this place delivers every time.
I highly recommend Sakae Sushi if you’re in the area!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a former fine dining manager turned luxury services pro, I know great food — and Sakae Sushi & Ramen blew me away. I loved it so much I went two days in a row. Fresh, flawless sushi, rich ramen, and a warm, hidden-gem and cozy vibe you don’t forget.

This spot is a must try! Plenty of parking in the front and plenty of seating inside. I ordered for pick up and they were super responsive and food was made quickly and fresh. I highly recommend!

I love this cute little place! Great food and service. Every time we are in Northbrook, we eat here multiple times because the sushi and ramen are so delicious. I've never had anything I didn't love.

Excellent food and experience all around. The tempura especially was amazing, when I picked it up and took a bite, oh man—the sound it made was so satisfying. That sharp, crunchy crack when my teeth hit the crust, Music. It was like biting into a perfect delicate chip! We will definitely be back!

I was surprised at the location so close from my home. Very happy with the service and quality of the food. Specially Sushi is so fresh and healthy with reasonable price. I will come back again soon ~
We finally decided to check out Sakae. We were not disappointed. The service was great the food was even better and the beer was cold. Great job Sakae!!! We will be back!

Portion to go are very small, not even snack size, Not recommend overpriced.

Sushi SO SMALL it’s insane 9.99 for tiny rolls you can 2x more anywhere for the same price. Not even enough for a kid what is this?!? DO NOT GO HERE!

The worst sushi in the burbs! We are sushi lovers and go to different places but this is the worst food we have tried in a while. The fish tasted awful, the specialty rolls were disappointing. The chicken plate was stale and old. If I could 0 start I would have. The only good plate was the Willis tower.
The bathroom was absolutely disgusting.

We did the spicy chicken ramen and chicken katsu box. Portions were great and everything tasted really good too. I have a pretty good spice tolerance and I found the level to be just right. Will definitely be back to try some of their sushi. Don't dismiss this place, it's legit.
