“I was in Lake Geneva for a couple of days and found myself in the mood for sushi.Sabai Sabai was one of the highest rated restaurants in Lake Geneva, so we gave it a try.Ordered: shrimp tempura (appetizer), spicy tuna roll, California roll, and Godzilla roll, with mango sticky rice for dessert.The shrimp tempura had a light, crisp coating - better than most other versions I've had. They were petite and delightful. It's tough to avoid oil flavoring the food in an unpleasant way, but the flavorful ponzu sauce was great.The sushi was excellent, as good as I've ever had so far from the freshness of a coastal city.The plating of the sticky rice was interesting, A shared plate with two tiny forks featuring a lump of rice and a delicately sliced segment of fresh mango in a pool of sweetened milk sauce. It wasn't bad, but it wouldn't be something I would order again. I've had much better.The restaurant is in a historic manor building. Essentially, a big old house. As such, the layout and seating is trying to maximize minimal space. It was a Friday evening and the place was hopping. It felt cramped, and I wasn't comfortable being so close to other diners' tables - but if the last four years have taught me anything, it's that capitalism doesn't leave room for comfort or safety.Perhaps the most pleasant part of the experience was the host, who (if I were to guess) was an owner or manager. She was friendly and genuinely appreciated our business.Parking is a situation that locals probably do just fine with, but being from out of town, we ended up in a paid lot which was a pain in the butt and about $3 more expensive than it needed to be, given the time of year and demand.If you're in Lake Geneva, Sabai Sabai is a solid choice.“
