It’s a shame I paid 25 dollars for this bag and when my daughter got home I had no season at all!!!!! I had to add seasoning as shown in the picture. When I called owner she was very rude and unprofessional.

Sent appetizer back twice and still he brought it back cold every time. Never got offered refills so ate food w no drink. Never could find the waiter bc he stayed in the back. For a hibachi to cost $16 was an absolute joke w how little food was on the plate. Waiter only showed up when time for check. Couldn’t tell you who a manger was. Table behind us also were upset w their order. Won’t be back.

The service was good but the food was horrible. I ordered 2 different dishes, and I could only eat a few bites. I paid my bill, tipped the waitress for her service, and left the food on the table.

Huge menu to go through but ordered the never bored tuna, really long wait. ended up getting my salad and and miso soup that came with the katsu I ordered after going over the menu before the tuna. Never bored tuna wasnt torched, barely had any masago and ended up sending it back for more masago (see pics for before and after).New Orleans roll was lacking the snow crab, instead looked like imitation crab, and the ginger that came with was so bright red, it was unnatural. Tables had no salt or pepper. Chicken katsu was so bland and dry. Had to douse with wasabi soy sauce for flavor since no salt or pepper. Katsu sauce tastes store-bought. Service could be improved as well. Soda felt watered down.This was my treat to myself for finishing a project in the area and based off overall rating, it seemed like this was the move. Should have read the reviews more thoroughly because sadly I left feeling like the meal was soulless cause the tuna wasn’t fresh. I know we are a bit away from the gulf so I guess expectations should have been set lower

Used to be good. Went the other day and floor was nasty. The restaurant itself was dirty everywhere I looked. The sushi was still good, but the overall vibe killed it. Won't be back until they clean it up.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW :D[ every section is a pretty quick read.]I had been craving sushi for a bit, and I was in the area with my family looking for a place to eat. I saw this place on my maps, and checked reviews (they were very mixed), but nonetheless I decided to ignore the negative ones.INTERIOR/EXTERIORTo start, the first thing I noticed was the decorations. This place is so well decorated, and I really felt comfortable being there. There were comments about it being messy, but it wasn't too messy. However, I had to brush off my seat before sitting down.Now the exterior, on the other hand, I noticed it was quite small and looked a little run-down. However, from my experience, run-down restaurants tend to be pretty great!FOOD & DRINK:My family members both had the sweet tea, and they enjoyed it very much (opposite of the review left about the tea being sour). I myself, enjoyed some bubble milk tea. I am actually a huge fan of boba, and had been craving some for quite some time. I don't usually enjoy taro milk tea, but I really liked Sake Cafe's! It wasn't too sweet, and I liked the flavor of the tapioca pearls.Food time. As an appetizer, we decided to try the squid, which I had never tried before. The texture was interesting, but I did enjoy the flavor. (I also liked how it came out steaming.) I then ordered some teriyaki chicken, with the tropical roll. The chicken also came out fresh and steaming, and I really enjoyed what seemed to be a buttery teriyaki sauce on the bottom of the pan. (I love me a good sizzle). The chicken was pretty good, though I would've liked a bit more seasoning.SUSHI! I loved the way the sushi plate was decorated with a little palm tree on the side. As for the sushi itself, I really enjoyed this tropical roll. It comes with crab and mango within the roll, and it is topped with this pink/white thing and fish eggs! I recommend trying out this roll if you like to have a bit of a sweet taste.Unfortunately, I did tend to get full a bit fast since I was trying a bit or sip of everything at the table, but it was worth it.The bad reviews did not have an affect on my dining experience, and I am truly happy I pushed them to the side to try a new sushi place.I give this place 5 stars, simply because I was pleased with the service we received. Our waiter was great, checking in on us, but not too excessively which I liked. The food was pretty good, despite the lack of seasoning, and the drinks were great! I'm also in love with the interior, and I really did feel like I was in a comfortable atmosphere.Thank you Sake Cafe! ^-^- mKid-friendliness: Kid options, and if your kid is looking for something sweet.. try the bubble milk tea!Parking: The restaurant is kinda located in this tiny shopping area, so the parking is shared with other businesses. However, the parking lot wasn't too full, and there were plenty of parking spaces.
