Saku Hoboken

Absolutely loved this spot! The drinks were really good and the sushi was super fresh. Highly recommend the Drop It Like It’s Hot roll—incredible!!! The staff truly made the experience even better: our waiter was fun and attentive, and the manager came over to check in. Everyone was genuinely so kind. The atmosphere is adorable too—everything is pink inside with a really nice ambiance. Definitely a place I’d recommend and can’t wait to go back to with friends.

I came in for a Saturday night cocktail and ended up ordering some wagyu sliders and edamame as an appetizer. I was surprised at how good the sliders were. It didn’t hurt that the bartender and I shared some banter while he made my cocktail even though it was pretty busy. The food came out quick, the service was clean and welcoming, I’m definitely come back to check out the rest of the menu if it holds up to the apps.

Specialty rolls were very good and they were very nice here but we had to wait over 2 hours for our food to come out. If you do plan to come here you will have to wait over an hour. Our dinner ended up being 3 hours due to the wait.

Service and food was good. We got seated quickly on a Saturday night. My only complaint is that we ordered a roll that had cbd infused spicy mayo. I am pregnant and didn’t see the cbd (there weren’t any special stars or notation next to the roll). The waiter didn’t say anything when we ordered either. I didn’t realize until I had two pieces and the server asked if we were feeling “relaxed” that there was anything in it. I, of course, started panicking and called my doctor. She said it was likely a small amount and not to worry. My only feedback would be a notation on the menu next to the roll - maybe capitalize or highlight the ‘cbd spicy mayo’ , put it in a separate section, or confirm when someone orders it.

Came to Saku around 6:30 with my husband and our 4-month-old for an early dinner, and it was such a great experience. The gentleman who seated us (I think his name was Dave or Steve?) was incredibly friendly, funny, and made us feel welcome right away—even joked that no matter how cold it is outside, there’s always room for ice cream 😂. He recommended one of the flight specials to my husband, which he really enjoyed, and the food was excellent. They were out of the watermelon cocktail I wanted, but I ordered a smoked pineapple cocktail instead and it was amazing—wish I remembered the name (apparently it was an anime reference). As we were heading out—just as it was getting busy and our baby was getting fussy—we were surprised with a small takeout bag that had a slice of cake and mochi inside. Such a thoughtful touch. Really appreciated how welcoming and accommodating everyone was, especially dining out with a baby. So glad we live nearby!

The food was incredibly tasteless. I ordered the sushi combo, and it was the worst sushi I've ever had! Even the classic cocktail was that bad! I can't believe how they managed to pull this off! The service was terrible, and it was freezing inside! While eating, we were shivering from the cold and wanted to finish our meal quickly and leave.

This place has slow service and very mediocre sushi/food. You can get better sushi at a grocery store for 1/4 the price. It is also freezing in there, like they don’t have on any heat in the middle of winter? I don’t know how Saku has any good reviews. The item we were most excited to try (crispy rice) never even made it to the table. Told the waiter to forget about it since we didn’t want to wait even longer. The only redeeming quality was the cocktails were well made so at least we had something to do while we waited over an hour for our food to arrive. Will not be returning.

I usually come on weekdays since its less busy but I really wanted sushi so I went in last saturday. Shoutout to my server Eric for making sure my drink was always full and checking up on me even though it wass really booked. Will be back again

Saku is great. I've been a few times for different occasions and each time has been great. The sushi is fresh and always beautifully presented. The menu is creative with one order standing out the most: a Russian roulette but with a ghost pepper hiding in one of the rolls. Not for the faint of heart but fun if you want to try something different. The drinks are always good and the service is fast and friendly. The place is definitely on the more expensive side of things but you can't really fault them for charging what people gladly pay. Lovely!

Wanted sushi and went to Saku on a whim. We sat at the bar and the bartender greeted us promptly. We bitch got drinks and I would highly suggest the lychee martini with gin it was excellent. We got the fried chicken bao buns and yellowtail jalapeño appetizer. The fried chicken tasted like a frozen boneless chicken but and all 3 bao buns itself were split before they even got to me. The yellowtail jalapeño were fine but nothing to write home about. I got two sushi rolls. They were both pretty good and tasted super fresh. The wait time to get the rolls was long though. It then took forever to get our check and aftwrwards. We weren't in a rush that night so it didn't bother me too much but if I was I could see how we would become annoyed. Overall, the sushi here was super tasty and fresh. I don't think that I would come back here though due to the long service time and the food not being spectacular enough to justify it.

Cute ambiance if you get seated in the room on the right! Drinks are interesting but the sushi is not the best. We tried a bunch of items off the menu and were not pleased with anything..

Have seen many pictures of this place and looked like a perfect date night spot. Loved the ambiance but unfortunately cannot say this place lived up to the hype for us. The fish was very fresh but in our opinion it was very much overpriced. We got two drinks - they were good. From appetizers we got the o toro roll, crispy rice, salmon Ikura hand roll, and Lobster Egg Rolls. The crispy rice was burnt on the outside and so mushy and sticky on the inside - that kind of killed the experience for us. The hand rolls were served on a mushy seaweed paper as well which was unfortunate. The Lobster Egg Rolls were okay, but the o toro roll was very good! We also go the omakase Omakase Dinner for 2. The fish was fresh, but if you want any kind of variety I wouldn't recommend this. You get the same kind of fish in your rolls, the sashimi and sushi pieces. Overall, a solid 3 out of 5 star experience - fish is fresh but experience is not worth the price point.

Calling all sushi lovers! If you haven't checked out Saku Hoboken, I highly recommend you make a reservation to experience their incredible sushi and cocktails. The menu has an extensive sushi selection. It was really hard to narrow down a choice because all of the options looked great. There are a decent amount of raw and cooked roll options. The cocktails are fun and tasty. I loved how Saku was decorated with beautiful paintings of cherry blossoms. I would recommend making a reservation because this place was hopping on a Saturday night. Great service and food. Definitely will be back!

Beautiful spot and lots of service but food is just okay for the price. It was $125 for 4 people and we got one app to share, and a meal and a half each but it was like all the food was on the plate and looked beautiful but not real depth of flavor or taste. Lots of shrimp and fish serving but limited flavor. Lobster rolls were over friend and udon noodles for drunken noodle? Not sure...Yuzu lemonade was nice!

Recently, I attended Saku's sushi making course and let me tell you, it was incredible. I arrived there in the evening and grabbed a drink at the bar while I waited until class began. They have some pretty amazing cocktails but if you're not much of a drinker I recommend the grapefruit, lychee, honey and club soda mocktail. It's so refreshing! The sushi course included all the tools needed to get started and our instructor took us through every step in making a California roll, tuna roll, and a saloon hand roll. Overall I made about 22 pieces and was very full after. The overall vibe was great and the instructor was super friendly and helpful. If you never made sushi before or just looking to try a new activity, this is the one

You MUST order the Pork Belly Bao Buns! Don't leave without trying them! They are delicious and the presentation is very pretty! Would have ordered another. Friendly staff too!

Wife has been wanting to come here so we finally made time to go into Hoboken. Food: the food was outstanding. She really enjoyed the Honey, I'm Sprung cocktail. The Crunch Drunk Love and Drop It Like It's Hot rolls were a great compliment to the flavorful Lobster Egg Rolls. The selling point for me was the Fatty Salmon sushi, easily the best piece of salmon I have ever had minus fresh caught from Alaska. Aesthetic: inside it looks like an Instagram heaven, outside on a beautiful night like tonight it is quaint and elegant. Service: our waitress Britney was outstanding, very attentive, super polite, and running around making sure everyone was good.

went on a Sunday evening and they had music which was terrific! great duo playing some great songs and supposedly they are here on Thursday and Sunday evenings so we lucked out. I had a beer shot which was so so and not terrib strong so could have dropped that. the cauliflower appetizer with honey was spectacular! also had the purple rain roll with purple rice and that was pretty good. could not squeeze in dessert but will be back to try the bao buns and wagyu sliders from the menu.

We revisited Saku the other night and had another terrific experience! For once we sat at a high-top table in the sushi bar room, which was a bit more cramped, but much quieter than the main dining room and bar. We were lucky to have Karina as our server again. As always, she was friendly, attentive, and ensured our experience was top-notch; she is a rockstar! I tried a new cocktail this time - the Saku Punch, which fruity, floral, and a great compliment to any dish. I also opted for my usual Eel and Avocado Roll, along with the specialty Saku Roll. I did wish the eel maki had included more sauce, but I remedied that by getting a cup of it to use as a dip instead. The Saku Roll included salmon, seaweed salad, crunch, kani, cucumber, avocado, and mango inside, a pink soy paper wrapping, and a sweet chili sauce topping. That beautiful roll was colorful and offered a variety of flavors - from spicy to sweet to savory. My boyfriend also loved his well-made Manhattan cocktail and Filet Mignon Noodles. It had been a while since our last trip to Saku, and after this stellar experience, we said we would not wait that long to return next time.

recommend! sushi was good and apps were good. sushi was taking extremely long to come out though, like over an hour but our waiter took a round off bill

My friends recently took me here as a late birthday dinner. I was craving sushi and they surprised me. First, I want to mention that the customer service was super wonderful. They were extremely accommodating. However, I was not impressed. I order their miso soup and it salty. I enjoy salt but the average person would have found it beyond salty. We also ordered the both the salmon roll and salmon spicy roll. I asked them to remove both rolls from my order. I can't believe they purée the salmon to make sushi. The texture of the roll was not pleasant. It reminded me of chunky baby food. The fries and crispy cauliflower were the two highlights. I'm not sure if I'll recommend this place for food. I need to give it another try.

The sushi here is alittle gimmicky. Caters to the younger vibe. Restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and cute place for a date. However this place is more flavor on flavor on flavor, which Is a bit much for me. We started with the garlic edamame. Good heat but the edamame was over cooked, not to my liking. Then we shared three rolls: Drop it like it's hot: my favorite. Spicy tuna and salmon with fresh jalapeño. Drunk crunch roll: also good, lots of fish in it Saku: had sweet mango drizzle which I was not a fan. They gave so little wasabi and ginger. Like the tiniest amount so you have to ask for extra. Overall, fine. Would like to explore further elsewhere before coming back. Cute restaurant though

Such a cute sushi spot! Date night, birthday dinner, any occasion! The ambience is perfect for celebrations. The sushi is very yummy! And great drinks. Definitely going to be going back!

We had a reservation on a Saturday night and were seated right away. We thoroughly enjoyed both appetizers - seaweed salad and pork gyoza, yum!! Both of our sushi rolls were good too - I got the crunch drunk love (definitely tasty, I expected it to be a little spicier though) and my bf got the drop it like it's hot roll which we both enjoyed (indeed Hot lol). Drinks were good too, service was solid. We will definitely be back or order takeout. And the place is adorable!!

Nice interior and attentive service, but very mediocre and pricey rolls. We ordered a sushi platter which comes with 8 rolls (99$). Even though the order looks massive we find nothin special or significant about any of the rolls, nor they were cheap. If you are craving for sushi it will make sense to hop on Path train to NYC or go to JC by light rail and have an omakase for around same price (Sushi on Jones or Sushi by Bou). Attention! The place charges 3% processing fee if you are using credit card(which I see the first time and definitely not making the place look good).

The service was terrible yall. MOOD A real cute place. There's fake flowers hanging from the ceiling and nice warm lighting inside. Big date vibes. Too bad the service didn't match :/ FOOD Food was decent! I'd give 4/5 if it weren't for the service. We only got rolls, which tended to be on the smaller side. One of us got the beet roll and it was kinda like a Vietnamese spring roll minus any meat. We also got the Shishito bombs to start and it came in a huge portion tbh. The three of us couldn't even finish it hahaha. They were 3/5. It was the spicy mayo that made it. 'TUDE All right... Food took 5EVER to come. We got our appetizers pretty late and the sushi took a looooong time... so I asked "Where's our sushi?" and the waitress said "Oh we were waiting for you guys to finish the appetizer." Huuuuhhh?? Sis it was huge. And I'd expect them to ask us whether we wanted to eat everything separately. Whatever. So there were a few times after where we really had to WAVE DOWN someone to help us. They also have an extra credit card charge 2.99%. If you pay cash or debit it's waived though. But we paid debit and they didn't waive it... and yardi know it took ages to have them come correct it. Oh and at the end, some workers were lounging in the exit and hella blocking the way out. They just looked at me when I asked to get through. Bro what...

Hosted our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner in Saku's Light Room. Cannot say enough good things about that evening. Everything from the beautiful room to the cocktails, delicious appetizers, sushi and mochi plates was perfect! The event coordinator, Jennifer, took great care in creating a special evening for us and our guests. Jennifer and her staff exceeded all of our needs and expectations with their friendly and attentive service. A week later and we are still receiving messages from our guests about how the ambience, food and service were all amazing. Don't hesitate, book your next event under the cherry blossoms. You will not be disappointed!

10/10 recommend Saku!!! I've heard many good things from friends so I knew I had to check this place out. Went here for my birthday dinner and I was not disappointed. The service was equally as amazing. Our waitress made great recommendations, the rock shrimp roll was out of this world! The decor and ambiance was also so pretty. Pink flowers hanging everywhere, it was truly gorgeous. Go to saku!

Delicious food and appetizers. Amazing cocktails and great service. The sushi was just ok so I wouldn't recommend sushi here. Highly recommend the lobster egg roll- super delicious! Wish we ordered two of them! For main course, I would highly recommend the Kobe Bryan burger. Their cocktails were AMAZING! I loved the herbs and roses cocktail. It's not too sweet and very refreshing. Good for summer!!

They have a nice selection of special rolls which I prefer, but their sushi nigiri is also great. I loved their cocktails and they're not too expensive which is a plus. The atmosphere is pretty cool, like a blend of Japanese folklore and cyberpunk with neon signage. I think the service was my favorite part. Our server was really kind. She realized we hadn't gotten our drink orders (they were super busy) so she brought over two more drinks on the house!

I came here awhile back when it was still chilly out and the only thing to keep us warm dining outside was lots of saki. I had dinner here with a friend I hadn't seen in a longgggg time and this was the perfect spot to order a ton of food and catch up. We ordered *inhales* Spicy Tuna Gyoza, Drunken Noodles, Shrimp Shumai, Spicy Tuna and Eel Avocado Rolls *exhales. Everything was so wonderful. The drunken noodles were by far my favorite and oh my gosh the portion was gigantic. The sushi was also spectacular and very fresh with a great fish/rice ratio. It was A LOT of food and we couldn't finish it all but they were able to box up the leftovers no problem. Our waiter was really kind and service was super quick. We sat out in their heated parklet, which was at times not very heated, but did the trick and had a great dinner! We also got two bottles (but not bottles? It came in a carafe of some kind. It was warm and delicious and I never get saki but it was just what we needed. I can't wait to come back and see the inside. This is a perfect spot for a special date night or just a nice dinner out in Hoboken.

PROS: -Really great decor and vibes, such a cute and intimate date spot -Outdoor seating available -Wide selection of specialty cocktails and beautiful plating -Group of 6 seated quickly and easily on a busy night. They squeezed us in right before a dinner rush. Great service. CONS: -Pricey, even for basic rolls -Credit card processing fee for 2.99% and 20% gratuity on tables over 5 people I didn't order a lot for fear of spending too much. I really enjoyed the little bit that we got though, but I probably shouldn't eat in Hoboken on a budget!

Probably the best sushi spot in Hoboken! We ordered the bang bang shrimp gyoza dumplings and crispy rice as appetizers. I loved the dumplings and the suede that came with it! For rolls we ordered just beet it, drop it like it's hot, and dude where's my roll. All of them were delicious and unique in their own way! The drinks are great as well.

Best sushi I've had in NJ! They were also happy to accommodate a larger party. The ambiance in both the bar and main dining area is so nice. Beautiful decor and a fun atmosphere. We ordered pretty much every specialty roll and some appetizers. Everything was amazing. I didn't try any sashimi but based on the quality of the rolls and appetizers I would imagine they would be very fresh. The service was pretty good too! 10/10

Saku never disappoints. It's definitely our favorite sit down sushi restaurant in Hoboken. Drinks are delicious and sushi is well made and tasty. So many speciality rolls to choose from. Cant go wrong with appetizers either (lobster seaweed salad and tuna tartare were so good!). I don't remember the names of the specific rolls because we got a bunch and shared. I like all of them honestly but I'm a sushi lover. One of my friends is a little pickier with sushi and she was very happy also. My first time here was their opening Yelp event and I was so impressed with the decor but I thought they had done it just for the event. No they always have these adorable florals hanging from the ceiling on one side and the other side is darker and more intimate seeming (we've always been seated on the brighter side for some reason but I'm not complaining). It's hard to explain just go! Service was pretty good as well. Literally my only little complaint is that they added a credit card processing charge without telling us about it. That's pretty lame. I mean on a few hundred dollar bill 3% I think it was kinda adds up. For an upscale restaurant like this this just seems petty. It's not deterring me but it does make me question management and leave a little disappointed after a great experience otherwise.

Saku is one of my favorite restaurants in Hoboken. To start, I love the pretty pink decor and trendy ambiance! However, the menu is really what steals the show. Their sushi is so good, but they also have plenty of other unique dishes if you aren't a sushi fan. My favorite thing on their menu is probably the He's Her Lobster roll (not just because of the Friends reference). For me, lobster sushi rolls can be hit or miss, but Saku's is always fresh! I haven't dined in since the start of COVID, but have gotten takeout and delivery a few times. As always, the food quality is never compromised.

I've always wanted to try this place after driving by for years and years and seeing the modern design and pink flowers hanging from the ceiling. We finally did in TWO separate experiences: Sushi making class - I would give this 4 stars. It was fun, the sushi was fresh, and the instructor was funny. The sushi rolls we made were very basic, and I didn't walk away thinking I could make it by myself at home, but it was a fun time. I would say more of a fun date night than a real learning experience. Sushi dinner on a Sunday night - we came back for a regular date night on the weekend since we enjoyed the sushi making so much. We were underwhelmed this time unfortunately. The green salad was just a pile of mixed greens right out of the package into a bowl, with a plastic container of ginger dressing on the side (they couldn't even toss it?) The waitstaff kept bringing us the wrong stuff at first and they all seemed to be confused about which table ordered what. The sushi was okay. The tempura roll was extremely dry but the salmon hand roll was actually great. They had a live "band" playing that was extremely LOUD for the size of the room and their voices weren't great to be honest. We wished they would stop so we could actually have a conversation. The cosmos they made tasted like medicine so we sent them back and got the special old fashioned, which was great. Overall it was just a mixed experience. Worth a try if you've never been, but we wouldn't make it one of our regular stops. We'd prefer to order sushi from Robogni or Yeung II honestly.

Saku is by far the worst restaurant I visited in Hoboken. Service was horrible. When our food arrived we asked for more ginger. We were the only people seated yet it took several minutes before our waitress brought it to us. Their soy souse bottles are awkward to use and I ended up overfilling my plate. I asked for more wasabi and ended up waiting several more minutes before receiving it. We asked for tea assuming it would be free as in all other Japanese restaurants but as we later found out they charge $4 for it. My wife asked to have her tea cup refilled with water but was told that they would charge for another tea to do so. The quality of sushi was mediocre at best yet the prices are completely ridiculous. We ordered sushi for two. On pictures they show what looks like Uni yet there was not a single piece of Uni on the plate. It was all typical sushi stuff of average quality. The $80 we paid for that plate was a total rip off.

I came here for my anniversary with my boyfriend last month and absolutely loved everything! We were greeted and said that if it got too chilly outside we can move inside at any time! It wasn't busy in the outdoor sitting which it made it peaceful. A lot of people walk by with dogs, running, jogging - if you don't want to see cute dogs every 5 minutes, maybe staying inside is best! The food was amazing! The edamame was something we have never seen or eaten before! Crunch drunk love was recommended for us to try since it's one of their well known rolls! The Kani salad was off the hook, and love eating my miso soup with my rolls! 100/10 will definitely be returning soon

I ordered 2 basic rolls and 2 signature rolls. Drop it like it's hot has a good combination with a nice heat. I like the beef slice in the Surf and turf as it's cooked nicely (not overcooked). However, I felt that the crab portion is slightly slimy? Not sure if that's the right way to describe it. The two basic rolls are as expected as it's similar to what I can get from other restaurant. Price is more on the pricey side.

The ambiance at Saku is so cute, and the rolls just as good! Service was also very nice and quick considering the crowd and lack of servers in this time. Would definitely return!

All good excellent service Drinks were nice and strong. Fresh sushi and good sliced into edible portions.

Had a few sushi rolls here- basic ones like salmon and tuna. The alcohol selection is great and really enjoyed that. I had several of the sakis and those were delicious. The waitress gave some great recommendations as well. I enjoyed the appetizers- believe it was the dumplings. Overall nice place with a cute ambiance and service. Will be back!

Great place with live music and awesome food! Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a chill date night with friends or your partner.

*Review written by a young Latina I have been to Saku a few times. Every time I go it is always an amazing experience, but this time it was extremely special. Our party of 4 arrived at 5pm and we were greeted by the wonderful Karina. Her warm eccentric smile welcomed us inside and Geo was assigned our waiter for the evening. Geo was friendly, fast and efficient when it came to service. We all appreciated Geo's suggestions in regards to drinks and food which of course were on point! Crunch Drunk Love roll is definitely a huge recommendation, always been my favorite and still is. On the plus note this an establishment that has many Latino workers and I am all for it! Pa Que Lo Sepa Karina gracias por todo. I will be booking my reservation and review through resy next time. I promise con mucho mucho mucho amorrrrr

Came here on a Wed night, and surprisingly it had more people than we expected. The ambiance is quite nice. Rather a cute spot. For the food, we got 2 speciality rolls (can't remember exactly) but honestly you cannot really tell much of the difference between the 2. The wagyu beef slides - skip. It's like mini burger (not what we expected) and frankly you really cannot tell it's wagyu or not. The fried lobster egg rolls, skip too. Flavor is fine but no lobster or crab taste. Green tea is basically tea bag instead of the proper Japanese green tea. And the lava cake has no lava. Given we didn't have high expectation on the Japanese/sushi restaurants in Hoboken, overall it's decent. Maybe next time we'll just try some simple rolls/sashimi if we are craving for sushi in Hoboken.

I'm going with 3.5-4 stars for my first impression of Saku. I wasn't one to frequent the Turtle Club, but I do remember the way it looked inside and I have to credit Saku with completing a tasteful renovation to create a comfortable and attractive restaurant space, equally distributed between a dining room, a bar, and the sushi bar room with high-top tables. Saku has a fun and creative sushi menu. Look for some interesting starters, such as the delicious Buffalo chicken gyoza. We also ordered simple sushi pieces of salmon and yellow tail, and they were fresh and delicious. Next were two specialty rolls: "Dude Where's My Roll?" and "Guac is extra roll". Both were tasty versions of shrimp tempura and spicy tuna rolls, but the portions were on the modest size, as were the pours of beer and wine. We had a friendly server that had a very good knowledge of the menu, so nice job there. All in all, this is an enjoyable, trendy, and needed addition to the midtown Hoboken area that I would revisit and further explore the menu.

WOW is an understatement. Some of the best sushi i've ever had. We sat at the bar and our server was energetic and timely. We had the miso soup to start, and spicy margarita were both to die for. Highly highly reccomend.

We booked a sushi class at this place through Eventbrite, Saku changed the start time at 2 day notice, to a time we couldn't make, and then ignored all our attempts at communicating (phone, email and FB messenger) and as a result we've been unable to get a refund. Very unprofessional/poor customer service, avoid at all costs

This was super cute and fun spot! I came here last Friday with my girlfriends and we loved it! We got a variety of the specialty rolls and cocktails. My favorite was the Crunch Drunk Love. The Bang Bang shrimp was also really yummy! There were so many options for drinks and sake. I ended up going with the Champagne Problems but my friends Herbs N Roses was honestly the best. We also decided to do sake bombs which were super fun despite me forgetting how to chug a drink Another fun item on their menu was the Japanese Jeopardy 2.0. There are 2 pieces that have Carolina reaper hot sauce so whomever ends up with it, has to take the sake shots that came with the dish. We left the restaurant pretty lit after that. I definitely recommend this place for a fun date night! I will certainly be back. The aesthetic and decor is also great for pictures!

Very good food, would recommend their specialty rolls, some great cocktail options, steak is great for those that don't want sushi or seafood. Only critique I have is to avoid sitting in the back room if possible. It's very tight, you'll be sitting on top of the people next to you, can make the overall experience less comfortable

It seems like they were understaffed last night. It took a while for our server to see us. It was my aunts birthday, so the bad service was a bit of a damper for the rest of dinner. Totally get it, though. The cauliflower was nothing to write home about, but the lobster egg roll was very good. The salmon sushi bowl was ok too. Nothing special. Tasted like a slightly above average poke bowl.

Wooooo hoooo! New favorite sushi in Hoboken plus it's super cool inside! One half of the restaurant is like being at the cherry blossom festival and the other side is dark and moody. We sat at the bar on the cherry blossom side and ate delicious sushi. We had rolls, sashimi, and edamame- all very fresh and flavorful. The bartenders made us amazing martinis with speakeasy mixologist-level expertise. I mean I'd come here just for the drinks. What an unexpected bonus.

Go somewhere else for a real sushi experience. The sushi rolls had very little fish and a ton of added sauce and "extras" almost to mask the flavor of the less than average fish quality. Unbelievably overpriced for the "sushi". Gimmicky to be perfectly honest. Ambiance is fantastic and so were the cocktails. Overall 3 stars but if you're going for sushi it's not the move. Go for the cocktails and maybe some select apps. Recommend Honshu or Okinawa for real sushi rolls.

Delicious food. We sat at the bar since we didn't have a resy and service was on point. I've only gone once but know that I want to go back.

So delish! Saku has the perfect menu/ambience for date night, girls night, friends gathering - you name it! Service was fabulous and our waters were constantly being refilled. It seriously didn't go unnoticed and the food was delicious! We made a YELP resi at 5:30pm since that was the only time we could get it but we were able to eat inside/safely in our own little section near the sushi bar. We ordered avocado Kani salad, bang bang shrimp gyoza, shrimp fried rice, crunch drunk love and the suku roll. Sushi was fresh and delicious and we really loved the gyoza. The rice was good but it was more like a hibachi style so I likely wouldn't order again but huge portions so perfect to share!!! I'll definitely be back, seriously loved the whole experience!!!

Disappointed. We started off strong with appetizers and took a complete nose dive with sushi. Everything was puréed and tasted like cream cheese. We really wanted to like this place, but alas it was not worth the cost.
