“I had the 17-course Bougie Omakase, and it was honestly one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had.

The entire vibe of the place is fantastic. The interaction with the chef and staff makes the experience feel personal, fun, and welcoming from start to finish. You can tell they truly care about what they’re serving.

What really stood out was the quality of the fish. They source fish from Japan every couple of days, and the difference is noticeable immediately. The flavors are incredibly clean and fresh. some of the best fish I’ve ever tasted.

Each course is thoughtfully designed. The chef gradually builds intensity, serving sushi with progressively stronger and richer flavors so every bite feels better than the one before it. It’s a really clever and satisfying progression.

Some of my absolute favorites were the toro (fatty tuna), the wagyu, the scallop, which literally melts in your mouth, and the sake (salmon). But honestly, every single piece was exceptional. The subtle seasoning on each piece elevated the fish without overpowering it.

Overall, this was a top-tier omakase experience. Incredible quality, amazing service, and a perfectly curated progression of flavors. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves sushi.

Hands down an outstanding experience.“

“This place is amazing. I didn't know what to expect going in to the all you can eat restaurant. I was happily surprised that it's not buffet style. Servers and bussers. The restaurant is nicely styled and comfortable. The greeters and wait staff couldn't have been kinder or more professional. $28.99 is worth every penny just for that. The longest we had to wait between orders was no more than 5 minutes. The food was fresh, perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! I really can't find the superlatives to describe it. Everything combined made this experience one of the best outings I've ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this place.“

“A jewel of a discovery. When we found other establishments on New Scotland Ave closing their dining rooms by 9pm on a Saturday night, SakeCafe was graciously open, serving delicious food (we tried a little of everything from sushi to Udon) and with the best tableside service I've experienced in literally years. Oh, and the hot sake is splendid and at $6/bottle an unbeatable value. SO happy to know they are just around the corner. Sorry bao buns place but you lose, SakeCafe wins.“
