Saka Japanese restaurant — Restaurant in Wolfeboro

I certainly would not have thought that such high quality sushi/sashimi would be available this far from the ocean in the mountains of New Hampshire... but here it is! If you like traditional style sushi, you can get generous servings of top quality fresh tuna, yellowtail, and all of your favorites. And for more adventurous diners, the ubiquitous California roll is succulent, fresh and tasty, along with about a dozen other inventive concoctions of delicious rolls made of raw and cooked fish and vegetarian selections. I haven't tried it, but I saw fellow diners happily digging-in to hibachi (grilled) steak and seafood. Other than traditional Japanese hotpot fare, such as one of my favorites, yosinabe, there are Thai and Chinese dishes. My partner and I have enjoyed every one of our four visits while in Wolfeboro this summer, and I highly...

Great food but I'm HIGHLY against irresponsible fish keeping and they have a large fish tank right in the middle of the restaurant with fish that will not survive for very long together and will quickly outgrow the tank. When asked what their long-term plan was for the fish they said, "bigger tank" and showed no interest in learning about their requirements.

FISH ARE MORE THAN JUST DECORATIONS!

We make a reservation for 6:30 p.m. for 8 ppl. When I arrived, there were a large crowd waiting for takeout. When I reach the receptionist, it's 6:40pm. And I was greeted with "I thought you are not coming, I am going to give your table to another party, we are very busy tonight. Are your party or here yet?". Really? No call to confirm that we are not coming? That sets me in the wrong mood. The food is pretty standard for a Japanese restaurant fare opened by mandarin speaking folks. I cannot believe people pay that much for a hibachi that is not served right in front of you, so we did not order that. I have to mention that the sushi roll is not impressive, they are loose when I pick them up, I guess the sushi chef was tired. I still give a 18% for the tips since our...
