We used to frequent this spot as their sushi burrito is pretty good. Well, after today we will no longer order from here. The Salmon Poke bowl had 6 little 1/2" cubes of salmon... about 1/4 cup of rice and rest veggies. You can see after mixing the bowl... you can't even see where the rice and salmon is. Ambiance - never eaten inside. Always been carry out.

My partner and I went here for a quick dinner date night. The place is really cool and modern, appearing very clean and with a nice atmosphere! They had great classic rolls, and signature rolls, for decent prices. I highly recommend this place for either a cute, quick date, or a great time with friends! Really good service too.

I read and read reviews and most of them comment about how it's not the most appealing looking restaurant on the outside, but once you walk inside-it changes the atmosphere. It's cute little quaint restaurant. The food is incredible, and the presentation is beautiful as well. Very well done. We ordered the veggie tempera (delicious), as well as the YAYA, Five Star, Windy City and Philadelphia Roll with fresh salmon, it was delicious. Will definitely come back..
Delicious- making it a regular weekly spot. The staff was very nice and helpful too. Favorites so far are the spicy tuna and crunch munch.

My son and I went here on a weeknight and we were able to get a seat easily. Sakae is located near the corner of Camp McDonald Road and Des Plaines River Road, and has a spacious parking lot. The dining area is a good size, with roughly 7 or so tables and chairs, and a TV on one wall. We ordered: Tofu Yaki Udon Stir-Fried Udon Noodles with Tofu, Vegetables & Special House Sauce. Yellow tail roll -- the typical roll with yellow tail in the middle Gold Rush 1848 roll, which had Grilled Eel, Spicy Crab & Grilled White Tuna With Avocado & Gold Flake. The gold flakes really drew my son in. Alligator Roll which had Eel & Shrimp Tempura with Crunch & Avocado Tonkotsu Ramen was the traditional ramen you expect, with creamy pork Broth, Pork Belly, Onion. The pork belly on this dish was phenomenal... so tender and flavorful. Our meals came with miso soup, which was a nice touch, especially on a cold winter evening. Service was prompt, food came out fast, and the overall experience was good. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located off to the side, near the back, the men's bathroom was single-person, although there is a urinal and a toilet. I always wondered in those situations, do I lock the door? I mean, I suppose someone is free to use the urinal while I do a #2 on the toilet? Either way, all was in working order, things were fairly clean, the sink was in working order. Decent bathroom. Sit or squat? Squat.

I'm very impressed with the quality of the food and the prices. It doesn't get better than this for what you pay for. The restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere. I like all the small decorations. Can't wait to come back and try more things.

Very happy with gluten free options! I have a severe gluten allergy and the staff was incredibly accommodating and very friendly when helping me thru my options. I had the kamakaze and playboy rolls and they were so fresh and delicious. They packaged my rolls separately and in a separate bag so there was no confusion. They even have gluten free soy sauce! My friends (no allergies), had several rolls, chicken udon and the gyoza and loved everything! The chicken udon was their favorite. Will be stopping here again soon! Thank you, Sakae!
