Sake Sushi

We love this place! We've never had a wait to be sat, and the food is really good. The service is so nice too. Our waitress Grace on one of our visits went above and beyond. The ambience of the place is really nice too, and the owner is friendly! I would highly recommend.

The atmosphere is quiet and quaint, perfect for a casual date night spot! We ordered the vegetable tempura appetizer which was so yummy and came with a delicious sweet ginger sauce. The sushi was very good, I would just share caution for the firecracker roll which definitely lives up to its name, so just make sure you are okay with a lot of spice! The double shrimp and rainbow rolls were my favorite! Our server (I wish I would’ve gotten her name), was incredibly kind and welcoming. At the end, she asked for our names and thanked us individually for coming in. That extra thought was so appreciated and I would definitely come back to try the other entree options!

I get sushi whenever I visit a new place. This is some of the best tasting sushi I've ever enjoyed. Everything was delicious. Even my least favorite nigiri melted in my mouth and the rolls were perfect in their flavors and assembly. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I'll be back when I'm in the area again.

**update** 9 months of being a regular here and I just fall more and more in love with it! I’m usually a creature of habit with menus but this is the one place I switch up my order at because everything I ever order is amazing! From the appetizers to the entrees and all inbetween there’s not a single bad thing on this menu. Furthermore I standby that Annie is the sweetest human being ever. She’s attentive, kind, and remembers even the smallest of details. Truly she’s what we return for and the food is a bonus, I would travel to any restaurant to support her, but I’m very glad she happens to be at this one because everything is truly amazing! Annie was amazing as well as the entire staff for that matter! We had tried to get in at Hopcat & Bdubs prior in the night for our party of 11 with both places very rude and not able to accept. Sake Sushi was incredible. From atmosphere to food and staff. Prices were awesome even! I cannot praise this place enough and I will certainly be returning! My entire party all had raving reviews!

I ordered a few rolls for lunch, including the tofu roll because I wanted to try something different. But it was just plain (unseasoned, unmarinated) cold uncooked tofu rolled in huge chunks, and honestly it was just not good. It was also really hard to eat since it was so big for some reason??? The oshinko roll I got was fine, but overall a really uninspired lunch. Vegetarian sushi options don't have to be groundbreaking, but at least they shouldn't feel like a sad afterthought.

I’d give 10 stars if I could. Everything here is so delicious- sushi, apps, drinks. We went for my best friend’s birthday last night and they were so kind & generous to us. So happy she picked this spot so I could try it, we will be back. 🙂

We had their pork dumplings in broth, spicy edamame, TNT roll and Jalapeño roll. Each item was delicious but the favorite was spicy edamame, the sauce is made by them and is truly amazing. The service was great, we never had to look around for the waitress as she would anticipate and keep checking in whenever we would need her. Great hidden gem in royal oak downtown!

Awesome food Short staffed 1 server Cutest place feels like you’re inside a restaurant inside a real city like Toronto or New York

Tucked away and surprisingly chill, Sake Sushi is one of those spots that just hits the mark when you're craving good sushi without the chaos. I dined in and tried the spring rolls and scallop sushi -- the spring rolls were light, crispy, and packed with flavor (definitely a must-try). The scallop sushi was fresh and clean-tasting, exactly what you want from a good sushi bar. The service was laid-back but attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect -- quiet, intimate, and depending on where you sit, it gives total date night energy. You can actually hear the person you're with, which is always a plus! Overall, Sake Sushi is a solid spot for when you want a calm, cozy dining experience with quality sushi and friendly vibes. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their rolls next time.

Sake sushi is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in the area! So many great sushi options but also great Korean dish options as well. I recently ventured out from sushi to try the Daenjang Chike, which was a delicious soup with tofu, brisket, potato and mixed veggies. I've truly been thinking about it often since I had it! Everything is fairly priced, especially compared to neighboring sushi restaurants. In addition to their wonderful food, the servers are all very kind and attentive. They always decorate for the holidays, especially Halloween! Eating dinner in there is a nice vibe because it's dimly lit and makes you feel like you're in a fancy restaurant.

Sake Sushi was fantastic! The place is kind of small but so cute, I loved the lights they had all over the place. I got sake and sushi, and both were great. The sake flight has 5 flavors and I would have to say mango definitely was the best. For sushi, the rolls were perfectly tasty without being too heavy, and they didn't fall apart which is always a plus. Our waitress was super sweet and offered a free birthday dessert as well! This was a great experience and I definitely will be back!

First of all the hostess/waitress was fantastic with us! Love that kind of service! One of my dearest friends and I decided to try this place today. Small industrial feel to the place. I ordered two rolls, Michigan and Yum Yum. Both were excellent and I especially enjoyed the Michigan roll. My friend had the sashimi combo and was very satisfied with the overall quality and flavor of the dish. I go back.

Came back to see if it really was an experience I can have on a regular basis. Sadly not this time sushi was dry gnats flying around and waiter coughing right by tables . Ambiance needed cleaning table and lamp looked like it hadn't been wiped down in days. Probably won't be returning.

Tried out Sake Sushi recently and enjoyed my visit there. Plenty of seating indoors along with outdoor seating too. Waitress, Annie I believe?, was extremely helpful and kind. Service was fantastic. Unfortunately forgot to take pictures this time around, but I enjoyed my sushi and Korean soup dish. My friend ordered a rice dish that had very large portions. Who doesn't love large portions! They have a pretty large menu too, so I do plan to pay them another visit. I would recommend if you are in the downtown Royal oak area!

The atmosphere is quiet and quaint, perfect for a casual date night spot! We ordered the vegetable tempura appetizer which was so yummy and came with a delicious sweet ginger sauce. The sushi was very good, I would just share caution for the firecracker roll which definitely lives up to its name, so just make sure you are okay with a lot of spice! The double shrimp and rainbow rolls were my favorite! Our server (I wish I would've gotten her name), was incredibly kind and welcoming. At the end, she asked for our names and thanked us individually for coming in. That extra thought was so appreciated and I would definitely come back to try the other entree options!

Our waitress was so friendly! They claimed to have the best sushi in RO and I appreciate the knowledge, but I felt like the sushi was so rushed, it fell apart very easily. The ambiance is definitely much more laid back. It was dark like a pub, and had bare floors and spare tables, which was actually pretty nice. Overall, I'd come back simply to try more of their 'award winning sushi', but I wasn't won-over in general?

Amazing food and Service! The waitress Annie is great and takes care of you right away! The wait for food has never been long and the food is always good and fresh! I will continue returning for more and highly recommend trying it!

People say this sushi restaurant offers delicious Korean dishes like bibimbap, japchae, and spicy pork, as well as a wide variety of sushi rolls. They also highlight the friendly staff, the generous portions, and the reasonable prices.

Smallest piece of fish. There is more cucumber than anything and not to mention it's warm.

Absolutely a wonderful place. My wife is Japanese, and she loved it as well. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and we'll be back for sure. The service we received by our server, Annie, was impeccable, and she's another reason we'll be back! We didn't take any pictures this time because we were too busy enjoying ourselves.

This restaurant is a very unassuming Japanese and Korean restaurant. The Sake flight was very tasty! The atmosphere was super casual and the price is well worth it. The service is good especially when it's super busy and packed for this place. The Salmon teriyaki, chef's sushi platter and beef bulgogi was very very good!!! And the portions were big! So much so that we couldn't even tried to look at dessert! Well worth the visit!

Also very fresh sushi, have been to many places in the area and continue to be pleasantly surprised and coming back to sake.

We had a wonderful experience here, led by the fantastic service and fresh fresh fish! I can't recall another sushi restaurant that has this kind of service: an introduction of both servers and full explanation of the menu I ordered the chef's sashimi: an entire plate of sashimi large enough for two ($40) Wonderful! My friends had some amazing looking cocktails as well

Great vibe and vegetable dumplings were amazing. Perfect date night place! The sushi was amazing and so was the service. Annie was great and will request her next time too!

I loved the atmosphere. It's kind of kitschy honestly in the best way. It's cozy and clean with quick, kind service. I had two pieces of salmon nigiri and Daenjang Chike soup. Nigiri came out first and was perfect. Warm rice, room temp fish, buttery texture with a little give. Large pieces of salmon, had to bite one in half. I had never had Daenjang Chike and it had beef brisket in it. Beef was not fatty and it was tender and shreddy. It wasn't marked on the menu as spicy but it definitely had a bite, I think I could see the sprinkles of gochugaru along the edges of the bowl. Yum. It arrived at my table literally boiling and I loved that, so cozy. Took my time eating it, got a spoon full of rice that came on the side and dipped the spoon for broth/rice bite. It warmed me from the inside out! Perfectly salty, acidic, spicy, and savory. Veggies were zucchini, onion, and potato. Everything was perfect, thank you Sake Sushi, I'll be back for Sake!

UPD: since there is no option to respond to the restaurant's representative's response - I will write here. Please re-read my initial text attentively. DoorDash denied their mistake, my claim and closed the case. My relationship with DoorDash is broken and beyond repair but it has nothing to do with the experience of therestaurant. It has been a frustrating experience all in all. The conversation via phone with several staff members and sore aftertaste (I do not meanfood). No need for any reimbursement at this point, it's not about the money at the end. And to be fair, the food (the part of it which made its way) was not bad at all. I liked it.

Favorite sushi spot in metro Detroit! Family restaurant vine with great sushi and dishes as well as great Saki cocktails! We're regulars and appreciate a more laid back sushi restaurant compared to the usual more upscale.

I am unbelievably saddened that I have to write this post. Today, while at Saki sushi with my partner and one year-old daughter, I was racially profiled and discriminated against the second I walked in the door. First, I was told that I could not sit in the outdoor seating area because they were short staffed, only to see people seated out there after I was told I cannot. When I asked why, I was told that only "regular" customers could sit in the outdoor seating area. I wasn't 100% sure what that meant. Moreover, when the bill came, I was notified that gratuity was added in. I didn't think anything of it, however, something just felt a little "off" about the way she pointed it out to me. Two Caucasian young ladies sit at the table across from me and also just received their bill. I inquired to see if they were charged auto gratuity as well, and was shocked to learn that they were not charged auto gratuity. While this was off-putting to me, the two young ladies thought that it was "gross and completely ridiculous" that they would charge automatic gratuity and not them. When the server came back over and I asked why did this happen, she explained that that is their policy for "new"customers. That is even more weird because I have been to this place before. Later, I asked her would it happen to be because I was black, she responded, "No, because I am Asian." I guess that was supposed to make me feel better? I don't know. Then she insisted that she will take off the gratuity even after I said it was fine. This let's me know that she knew what she did was wrong and that this is a normal practice at Sake Sushi: "Charge Black people automatic gratuity and also don't let them sit outside for fear that they may run off on the bill." For context, I am an advocate for small business in Metro Detroit, but I can't stand and let racism be so blatant and not speak up about it. Not only was this a form of discrimination, but it's completely illegal.

This restaurant was completely empty so we got seated immediately. This was on a Monday evening about 6 PM, and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. The food prices are very good and I don't believe the waitress got our complete order right but the food came out quickly so things she forgot. We just had her go have them make it and it was good.

We had the best experience here. My family (husband, toddler and infant) were treated so kindly. They went above and beyond to accommodate us. Our meal was delicious too. We will definitely be back!

Serviced took forever. Beer tasted like shit in a tin cup. She took it away and didn't bring me another one. Lol whatever. Food was very tasty.

Came here for the first time for a friend's birthday. My husband ordered this spicy beef udon and it came 35 min after the rest of us got our food... We were the one that had to flag down the server to tell them about the missing food .. only then were we told they accidentally served this to another table and had to remake a new one. Too bad the dish was filled mainly with mushrooms and Korean fernbrake, and not a lot of noodles... server seemed surprised we didn't want to take it to go after seeing how he barely touched his food. Husband does not like mushroom and it was not listed on the menu, so he did not enjoy his meal.

our server was wonderful and super attentive to us which was wonderful. the sushi was great and they had a good amount of gluten free options as well as gluten free soy sauce. the bibimbap was also very good.

Came here on a Saturday night around 9:00pm. There were empty tables but didn't get greeted/seated until 20 minutes later. It seems like they are understaffed and the waiter took a while to take our order. I got the Yookkejang and Mandu Soup. The yookkejang had absolutely no flavor. It literally tasted like water with a hint of spice. The Mandu soup was really good, the broth was flavorful and the dumpling itself was sweet and juicy. The portion size here is also really good and the price here is super reasonable. Would come back to try their other dishes. Good place for date nights or a simple night out with friends.

Good food for the price. Wonderful service. One of my new favorite regular spots. Always reccomend

Cool vibe, great late night spot. We will be back. Casual cool dress code and great playlist the whole time.

The service and food here are both fantastic. Annie was truly special and kind. Even though it seems they are short staffed, you would never know it. We ordered the albacore tempura roll to start and then the shrimp tempura udon along with the shrimp and scallop bibimbap -- both were delicious and the ultimate comfort food. Highly recommend! Can't wait to come here for the warm dishes during the winter, the whole place has cozy vibes!

Sushi was delicious the service was quick I didn't experience the ambiance because it was delivered lol

literally everything here is incredible! the food, our server Annie was amazing, and the environment is so lovely! I cannot speak highly enough of here.

So this was my Spicy Shrimp and Chicken dolsot BIBIMBAP!!! BIBIMBAP?!!! (Screaming ) Ordered this as it is in the menu, and i myself am a big fan of bibimbap, i never seen such bibimbap like this. What i mean, normally they have banchans and different toppings on top of it, but mine came out like this. It was less appetizing looking and same with the flavor. I was expecting nothing more or extravagant, but food for me is life- makes me happy. I believe that Bibimbap has colorful cultural representation with beautiful story underlying on this dish, however this one was like cooked in "hibachi" style and just topped it on the rice. I was totally shocked and surprised. Again, since this was my first time having this kind of style of bibimbap out of thousand of times i had before, I am not sure why they have this in their menu if they cant live by the principle of bibimbap (banchans, other condiments, etc). On top of this kind of presentation you get, it is not worth it for the price itself.

The service here was excellent; Annie was fast, attentive and accommodating. I got the miso soup and it was good but didn't have any tofu chunks in it. We also ordered the Philly cheese and salmon teriyaki rolls- both were good. They let me add cucumber to one of the rolls which I appreciated too.

out of all the things to say about this place, i need to start by saying the food was SO good to me. my main dish was the tofu yakisoba and i also had the AAC roll. both dishes surpassed my expectations. there were a good amount of vegetarian dishes here too. the food came out super fast, i loved the interior and semi-questionable choices of decor. for the quality of food i really feel like this place is fairly priced, too. i'm already excited to come back here

This restaurant has incredible food, service, and vibe. Every time I go, I get udon and occasionally sushi. Its always delicious. The waitress is always kind and accommodating. The vibe inside the restaurant is nice and relaxing. Couldn't ask for a better restaurant.

Yum yum yum! The sushi here is delicious and not overpriced at all. I was surprised considering it's location. They have so many different rolls. Plus the inside has a cute wooden design. Definitely dropping in whenever I am in the city.

Sake Sishi, Very disappointing for two reasons: One, communication over the phone is very hard, because much of the staff can't speak English, and two, the Sushi Rolls are not very good. Let me start by my sushi experience....both my sister, and her kids decided to give Sake Sushi a try. Since I am a veteran of the Sushi culture, I was hesitant to order at this place. My sister had to leave my place, because she was on call. When she put in her order, over the phone, we both made it painfully evident that our sushi would be in separate bags. One for her, and her family, and one for me! Unfortunately, Sake Sushi found a way to screw the entire order up! Not only did they ignore our instructions, but they found a way to switch out orders! I ended up with a large order that was supposed to be for my sisters family, and she did NOT even get the Oushi roll I ordered! Side note...did a 10.99 roll, it was extremely small! ....in other words...rip off central! Long story short. When I called to complain about what happened. They did not even want to give me a free roll! I actually had to ask them, due to their negligence! As a result, the manager told me he would make another roll for me, for free. I told him that o would give this place another chance. When I came in for the free roll they are FedEx me, I had to wait 30 minutes! It literally took 16 minutes did a person to meet me at the counter! This is ridiculous! I ordered the roll in advance, 1 hour before! How could I have waited an extra 30 minutes? I honestly think this place will close up n the next 2 years! ....awful awful service and mediocre food are indications that this place is a goner!

Sake Sushi is a great place! It's quaint and cozy with a modern flare. During summer months they have a patio to dine at. But I opted to eat inside. It was my first visit here and everything I had was a 1st. I adored it. The food, drinks and service were fantastic! They had different flavors of saki, which I'd never seen before. My libation of choice was pineapple saki, for an appetizer I had the veggie gyoza, and my entree was the salmon pizza roll. Everything was both flavorful and fresh. My only complaint is that my appetizer and meal came out at the same time. But it's a must try! My server Joice was sweet and attentive as well.

Great sushi!!! We got it to go! They give you 6 rolls instead of 8 like at some places but the rolls were very good. We got the baked lobster roll, a spicy cali roll, a shrimp temp roll, a chicken teriyaki roll and a spicy tuna roll. Got their house sesame salad and their miso soup too! They have decent prices!

This place never disappoints. The tempura udon was delicious! & the sushi was great. They have a lot of great options on the menu! The waitress was super kind as well. I come back to this place all the time!!

Strolling through Royal oak and this spot caught our eye. We didn't order food but the jars of sake proved to be irresistible. They offer flights!! We sampled Cherry, Ginger, Pineapple, Blueberry and Sangria. My fav was the Ginger, my companion loved the Pineapple. Def recommend stopping by for a drink!

Great local sushi spot with cheaper prices. Nice chill vibe for a weeknight sushi date

I can't believe I haven't rated the spot until now. We've had take out from here before and have enjoyed their outside patio before and all of our experiences have been fantastic. We ordered take out the other night because... Covid. We decided to order three rolls and an appetizer. We started off with the beef gyoza and they were extremely flavorful and definitely homemade. I'm not normally a fan of deep-fried gyoza but I will definitely make an exception for these in the future they were delicious. For our rolls we ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll. Everything you'd expect from a spicy tuna roll, I will note it tasted very fresh and had a great flavor. We also ordered the Super Crunch Roll. This flavor combination was really delicious, nice and rich from the sauces with awesome crispiness from the tempura shrimp. I would definitely order this roll again and again. Next up the Michigan Roll, jalapenos on the side. I could not stop eating this roll, in my opinion it is very spicy but the flavor is so epic I could not quit eating it. I ordered the jalapenos on the side because my husband isn't normally a spicy person, good thing I did! Even he couldn't turn away a couple pieces of this role because the flavor was just incredible. I personally did not even need the jalapenos on the side but if you really like hot stuff it would add a perfect crunch to the top. In terms of a takeout experience and sanitation for covid, I would give them a 10/10. The ordering process was extremely easy, the estimated time was spot on and they had a very convenient pickup station located at the front of the restaurant. Give this place a try I'm astounded that it only has three and a half stars right now. It's pretty awesome and the rolls are huge!

AMAZING! I LOVE IT! Huge portions of food and for the price is amazing! Food tastes amazing, with every bite felt a new spark of amazing flavor! Definitely going to make this place my regular from now on!

This restaurant has a really large menu, with a lot of Japanese and Korean dishes you can't find in Royal Oak. The sushi was great, shu maj was outstanding, and the dolsot bibimbap was one of the best I've ever had. Our server Annie was very friendly and everything was served quickly. Really happy to find a place like this in the area, and would definitely return!

Excellent sushi experience from a locally owned and operated restaurant! Their menu is very diverse offering your palate multiple types of Asian cuisine and the service was excellent! Our waitress Annie was very welcoming and personable. Whether you are grabbing a casual bite with a friend or looking for a date night out, check out Sake Sushi.

I had the Crazy Girl and the Lobster Roll with spicy mayo. They were awesome!!! Great service!! Highly recommended!!!

My bf and I are new in town and stumbled across this place while exploring the neighborhood. The food was fresh and amazing in all! We seemed to have been the only ones dining in so our service was on point, like incredibly on point. Our server, Annie, was a delight. She knew the menu front to back and spoke so proudly of her family owned business and even learned our names to use throughout the time there.

My sister and I love this place! The food is great and so is the service. I got there 45 minutes before my party (ugh, sisters), and my server was SO understanding and accommodating. She remembered my name from my ID check and we chatted when she had the time. I have an allergy to shellfish and nuts and she recalled the information multiple times while I was there. This is not common practice but it made me feel very safe throughout our courses that there wouldn't be cross contamination. She really loves this place and I like it even more after experiencing her service. A lot of restaurants are struggling right now to create a great experience because of lack of staff so when I had a fantastic experience here (this is RARE) I knew I had to write a review. I absentmindedly only tipped a little over 20% but wish I would've given more. Can't wait to come back!
