Sake Sushi & Grill — Restaurant in Lake Havasu City

Sake Restaurant Review

Sake, nestled in the heart of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, offers an exquisite blend of authentic Japanese cuisine and a delightful dining experience. As a regular patron, I've observed several key aspects that contribute to its charm.

1. Culinary Excellence: Sake consistently delivers a culinary masterpiece with each dish. The preparation is swift, maintaining a professional standard that caters to both the discerning palate and the aesthetic eye. The attention to detail in plate presentation elevates the dining experience, turning each meal into a feast for both the senses and the stomach.

2. Knowledgeable and Friendly Service: The servers at Sake embody a commendable understanding of the menu, displaying efficiency and professionalism. Their ability to swiftly address inquiries enhances the overall dining experience. Their friendly demeanor adds a warm touch to the atmosphere, making guests feel welcome and attended to.

3. Consideration of Pricing: While Sake's culinary offerings are undeniably top-notch, it's worth noting that prices have seen a modest increase in recent years. This can be attributed to the restaurant's location in a tourist-centric town and prevailing economic factors. The unique experience of enjoying sushi in the midst of a desert adds to the restaurant's appeal, emphasizing the value of this distinctive culinary adventure.

4. Thoughtful Alcohol Service: Sake provides an extensive selection of alcoholic beverages served at every table, supplemented by a dedicated bar area. Despite its smaller size, the atmosphere distinguishes itself from a typical bar setting, offering a serene environment without loud distractions. While the alcohol options are slightly constrained compared to a full bar, the variety ensures ample choices for patrons seeking a well-paired drink.

5. Unique Setting and Convenience: Situated in a city known for its tourist allure, Sake stands out as a smaller yet charming establishment. The interior, though dated, contributes to its distinctive character. The restaurant's commitment to accessibility is evident through its seven-day operation, and the added convenience of online ordering and DoorDash delivery enhances accessibility for both locals and visitors.

In summary, Sake delivers an unparalleled blend of culinary artistry, attentive service, and a unique setting, making it a noteworthy destination for Japanese cuisine enthusiasts in Lake Havasu City. While prices reflect the surrounding economic landscape, the overall experience justifies the investment, providing a memorable culinary journey that transcends the confines of the...

Hostess was wonderful. The waitress was very bad. Most of our food was delivered by the hostess and the cook. A lot of gristle in the beef. The appearance was nice, food was okay. Overpriced for what we got. There were 6 of us, so they said the gratuity would be added. That would have been fine if we would have gotten good service. There were no drinks and no refills on our water. The waitress never came back to check on us. Our hostess came over with our bills, and was telling us that because they could not serve beer to the two that had wanted it (liquor license was in the process of being renewed) that they were not going to add.....before she could finish, the waitress came and grabbed the bills out of her hand and said "give me those". She went and redid each one of them, there were three. It took about 10 minutes before she brought them back. She charged each of us more than 20% gratuity. She charged us 20% using the total including the tax. Very rude. After 10 more minutes, my cousin finally took the bills to her because she had not come back. She was not busy. She was just a bad waitress. I was uoset enough that I wrote a note to management. I have never heard back from them. I was waiting to post a review until I got a reply, I decided that 2 weeks was long enough. Again, the hostess and the cook were amazing. The waitress was one of the worst I have ever had and the food was overpriced for...

Came here during my two-week trip since I enjoy checking out Japanese and Asian restaurants. The menu here is a mix of Japanese and Korean. I came for dinner and was able to get a seat right away at the bar. I ordered a large pint of Sapporo, Gyoza, Nigiri (Salmon, Unagi, and Yellowtail), and Beef Bibimbap. Everything came with a complimentary Miso Soup. The soup was delicious. The Gyoza was crispy, but lacked good flavor. Even dipping it in the sauce didn't enhance the flavor. The Beef Bibimbap came in a hot stone bowl as it should. The egg it's suppose to have was cooked to over-medium, so I couldn't get a good mix. Overall flavor of the Beef Bibimbap was okay. The nigiri was the best part of the meal, leaving me surprised. The fish pieces were huge making the fish-to-rice ratio was amazing. The quality and flavor was even great. It is definitely worth the price. The staff was friendly and attentive, always checking on me. The food was brought out quickly, except for the nigiri. The one sushi chef here was very busy from was I saw. The prices are more on the expensive side. The place is clean. The layout is a okay, and the decor was average with a mix of themes. If I ever come back, I would definitely come back if I'm craving sushi. I would be interested in trying...
