Saki

We visited Saki purely by chance after watching a film at the nearby cinema. The menu looked attractive and the restaurant was pretty busy, but not full, at 7pm on a Sunday evening. Inside it's a fairly basic environment but really you're here for the food. On that score Saki is notably excellent. We started off with some duck gyoza and smoked eel sushi. The latter was exquisite with the eel and rice arriving warm with a lovely freshness - and the gyoza was tasty too. For the main course I decided on raw tuna with a wasabi crust along with some soup. The tuna was really excellent; soft but meaty with a subtle heat from the wasabi. All in all the food was really very good - which is probably why there was a constant stream of deliveries heading out of the door. I can see us returned to Saki again as the dishes were lovely and not crazy expensive. We were well looked after and the all-you-can-eat menu sounds like it's worth a try.

Really great food and attentive service. A simple restaurant. The Howl’s Moving Castle score was also a plus!

We really love this place! Me and my partner have been going here for a few years now and make the journey to come here since we moved out of the area despite there being multiple other sushi restaurants near us now! Nowhere compares to Saki 💜. We always get the all you can eat menu. The food quality is the best we've had in London, the staff are lovely and the restaurant has a simple and relaxed vibe which we love. Please open another restaurant in Finchley 😉

Tried the all you can eat deal that we’d been eying up for a while and it did not disappoint! You can mix both hot dishes and sushi. Everything very fresh and service was quick and friendly.

Wonderful Japanese food ! Both takeaway and eat in was delightful. Bento boxes very generous portions. Quality ingredients are used. Delicious tasting with classic touch. Staff is friendly and attentive. Service quite fast and polite. Lovely Tempura and fresh Sushi !

We love Saki! I have been going here for a few years and it never disappoints. Good food with no fuss. Sushi is great and the bento boxes have generous portions. Really good value especially for the location. Staff are friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend.

Lovely, the food was so delicious. The restaurant has a nice Japanese vibe and the staff are very polite and lovely. Most of all we enjoyed the sushi, it was so fresh and delicious.

Tasty all you can eat dishes. Lots of sushi rolls to choose from but not many sashimi choices. Choices of cooked dishes were good too. The service was good. Reasonably priced compared to other all you can eat Japanese food. The downside is that it's not too good of you have a young child as they don't have changing facilities and only seems to have one high chair in the whole restaurant.

Very yummy sushi buffet and after 3 portions I felt full. However I was left with the impression that it isn't a truly "all you can eat" experience - you get 2 orders of the posher meals and 4 orders of sushi. It is truly very filling (I love eating and I was totally stuffed!) so it is undoubtedly enough, however I don't think it is an all you can eat. Be sure to read all the rules that are in small print on the buffet menu or you can end up with £5 per person taxation for leaving a piece of sushi behind you! Service was wonderful with polite members of staff, however a few of our orders were forgotten and we had to remind them to bring it. After that they came out very quickly so it wasn't a serious problem. My most serious concern was with the staff wiping the tables using left over customer tap water as a cleaning detergent, spilling a bit on the table and then wiping it - that is like cleaning your table with someone's saliva which is surely not very romantic! I would recommend Co-Op or Tesco multi-purpose spray, than you! P.S. the warm sake is divine!

We did the all you can eat deal for £16.80, which essentially has unlimited sushi plus several additional options of hot food. I wasn't sure about this because I don't like sushi, but gambled that there would be enough other stuff to get full. In retrospect, I think it would have been a better deal for me to get a starter and a main, which would have been cheaper and probably filled me up the same amount, but it was nice and sociable to try things together. Also worth noting that they were fine with my friend not doing the all you can eat - she ate off the menu, which was good because some places wouldn't trust you to do this and make the whole group eat the same thing. Food-wise, it was pretty good - in particular, the chicken katsu was so crisp and delicious, and I was also a fan of the gyoza. The service was slow and forgetful - although they obviously meant well, we had to ask several times for items (drinks, sides, the second round of food) and there was an error in the bill. I did warm to the wait staff but it didn't feel very professional. I think they are quite new, so maybe things will improve once they are more experienced.

The service was unimaginably awful. Absolutely appalling. One of the waitresses was cheerful and friendly but, oh my, the other waiting staff and, mostly, the manager were unbelievable. She actually truly couldn't have cared less about the way she spoke to us. I was there with my daughter. I have little doubt that she would not have treated a man with anywhere near the disdain she had for us. She was actually sneering! We ordered the buffet each but were on round two when we began to feel too full. We agreed to pay the £5 extra to take the leftovers home, quite happy to do so, even though this is added to the buffet charge but THEN the manager came to berate us and complain to us that we had ordered too much and how dare we and to tell us that we could not take home the leftovers, Which had already been served to us and some of which were half-eaten!!!! She was literally snarling. I asked if the rules had been changed because last time we had taken home what we couldn't finish and paid the extra. She said that if every client did what we did it would be very bad. I replied that we had not done anything other than not been able to finish our meal. We hadn't ordered 3 rounds, we were on our second -hardly excessive for an 'all you can eat buffet' She started saying 'Goodbye! Goodbye! Have a nice day! Goodbye! Goodbye! Have a nice day!' And doing a very strange laugh. My 9 year old daughter was with me and asked me why the lady was behaving so crazily. I actually didn't know how to answer her. Do yourselves a favour and avoid this awful, awful place.
