Sake — Restaurant in Chico

Father’s Day around 3 PM. We arrived to Sake parking lot. It was pretty empty with maybe around 5 cars. I was happy to see not many cars, meaning a not crazy pack. Service should be wonderful, Front desk lady super friendly greeted us politely. There were a lot of free staffs becoz again not many customers at that time. However there was one male staff rude, inpatient, n feel disrespected. He ask what we want to drink. My husband said water n lemon, I had my own water in my Stanley tumbler. I said my daughter will be out soon idk what she want to drink. He said 3 waters? Story short. It was our first time there n we been to many restaurants n buffets. This particular time not so wonderful. Everything was a rush. After we ordered 4 rolls n about 4 appetizers. Mind you we were all hungry 3 adults. We ate al that . Another staff came asked what we want, this time we got 2 rolls n two salad. Then after we finished this time. The guy came n was like no more? We haven’t order yet. Before we know he asked if we want dessert. He came bck with 3 individual ice cream cup. A minute went by he came with our check. $120 tip $20 dollar n we barely get to eat . This place is all you can eat we had only total of 5 rolls for 3 adults two salad n ice cream cup. We didn’t dressed shabby becoz is Father’s Day. This is definitely discrimination towards us. Hes Asian n wee Asians. Did he think we don’t tip? Were not beginners at eating out. We go to fancy restaurants. We’re generous tipper if our service were worth it. Maybe I’m over reaction however not now but in a month or so I’m going bck there n see how the service will be. I hope that make can get his act together. Hopefully he decide being a customer service is not for him. We’ll see. I like the place him not so much. Wish I got his name. Whoever you are, you need to work on your customer service n be more patient. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Asian have money n are generous with their moneys if you treat them...

I walked into SAKE Sushi with high hopes, an empty stomach, and just enough self-control to pace myself for about the first 10 minutes. After that, it was game on.

Ambiance: The restaurant has a modern cozy vibe with a bit of anime flair bold artwork (the striking wall art makes you feel like you’re being watched by a sushi guardian), comfy booths, clean layout, and an open view of the kitchen where you can see the sushi chefs doing their thing. It’s casual but stylish perfect for a laid-back dinner or a casual sushi binge with friends.

Menu Variety: This place delivers when it comes to options. You’ve got everything from basic rolls (California, Spicy Tuna, Philly) to creative specialty rolls like the Dynamite Roll, Black Dragon Roll, and Dancing Tuna. The all-you-can-eat dinner menu reads like a sushi lover’s fantasy with over 100 items including appetizers, nigiri, sashimi, fried rice, teriyaki, and salads.

The Food: Now to the important part: • The rolls: We tried a ton of them to varying degrees of enjoyment. A ton have crabmeat or the spicy tuna which we quickly tired of. They were generous portions and the sauces were good. • The nigiri & sashimi: The Yellowtail was buttery, fresh, and clean no fishy aftertaste. The Red Snapper and Mackerel were outstanding. • Appetizers: The takoyaki was interesting. The garlic edamame was addictively seasoned. The ginger was addictive • Dessert: A simple scoop of ice cream to close out the carnage classic.

Service: Friendly and efficient. Plates came out fast, servers checked in frequently without being pushy, and they were happy to give recommendations and bring extra rolls.

Price: At $35.99 per person for dinner, it’s a fair deal given the quality and variety. Plus, with the 90-minute limit, it encourages just the right amount of indulgence without...

I have had my fair share of sushi restaurants and let me say this one is far by the worst one of all. Bought my little family in for Mother’s Day dinner and wait approximately 20mins before receiving our first (single) roll we ordered upon arrival. Noticed we didn’t receive the other two rolls we first placed. I took on the impression that they were still working on the other rolls. So we placed a second order. 20 more minutes passed. Received second order but still no rolls from first order. Reminder; this restaurant has a food waste charge, so we didn’t want to keep ordering not be able to finish them. I got the waiter’s attention and asked about the rolls I first placed, he said he’ll place it in again. At this point we have wait over an hour for our original rolls that we ordered again for. Instead of wasting time waiting on something that might not even come, my wife and I decided to check out and ask for a discount or some sort of compensation. This is the part that frustrated me the most. The employee that “tired” assisted us stated that “There is NO discount, regardless of any missing food”. Therefore, I ask if could get the missing rolls to-go. The employee rudely stated that there is “NO take-out” and the “ONLY” way for us to receive those rolls is for us to return to our table and wait. This employee was pretty much tell us to go waste more time or go screw ourselves. This conversation goes on for 4-5mins. Fed up, we decide to pay and leave. Overall, this restaurant is rude, money-hungry, and does not care for any sense of customer service satisfaction. Will definitely not be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone. Don’t waste your time and money on overly priced sushi that you might not...
