Listen up this place here should be on your list to eat at HANDS DOWN they blow my mind with the amazing consistency of the pineapple shrimp fried Rice and the crawfish rolls with the eel sauce make sure ask for a extra serving of eel sauce for the rice as well the combination makes my taste buds dance . This is my two must have everytime I go here. Keep up the great work guys!!

Server was unable to direct us in ANY way. “If you like the ingredients in the roll you might like it” when we got our food before it hit the table the rank seafood smell did. Save your time and $ eat anywhere else. We are currently getting dinner after paying for the worst experience and food in

Don’t waste your money here. Extremely overpriced. The sushi tasted so bad that I threw it away and my edamame wasn’t even salted. Such a shame. Rude staff also.

For the love of god clean those chandeliers! Decent food, but the decor is very tired and worn. Those chandeliers are priceless, and they have maybe NEVER been cleaned (for the record, there is a spray product available ).

I've been living in New Orleans for 3 years and I've been to sakesushi 100 times. I came back on 02/21/24 at 19:00 and the waiter was racist to me, he didn't bring me my food in 1 hour, he looked at me from a distance and asked me questions and was rude, I'm not happy about this situation, can you please do something about it?

Always a winner. We come for the happy hour food and drinks that ends at 530, I think most if not every day. We always have good service here, the wait staff are exceptional.Real sushi, real bar, real servers, spot on.

We had a decent experience here. The server was nice, but the food seemed to take a while to come out. The sushi was pretty good, but nothing overwhelmingly amazing. The chicken fire pot soup was the best thing I had all night.

First time dining at a Sake Cafe and had a fairly good experience! I really liked the complimentary parking which allowed 6 hours!! I thought it would be 2-3 hours max, but when it said 6, I was impressed. Service was great especially since my party and I ordered a lot. The waitress was accommodating and allowed us to use two other tables nearby for our dishes and to-go containers. Everything we ordered was good especially the calamari and sashimi. Only thing disappointing was their happy hour menu. I felt like it was very limited and barely had anything to offer compared to other sushi restaurants. Overall, it was still a great place to dine in. Even the ambience and anesthetics were nice! I would most likely return and recommend this location to others!Parking: Complimentary 6 hour parking

The positive was one of the best interiors I’ve seen. Beautiful restaurant. Probably a good date spot. The only two real complaint was that the happy hour specials really were not that cheap compared to your average sushi place. Second is that the service was awful. I’ve never been to a restaurant where the waiter door person and bartender could care less. I left with a very negative experience just because they all seemed sloppy and bitter and apathetic. Went for happy hour. The drinks were half price but not even worth that. The beers may have been 8 ounces. Wine pour was minimal. The sushi roll specials were the same as full priced rolls at other restaurants. I’d highly recommend the fried squid appetizer.

After finding several other Asian restaurants either closed or by reservation only, because it was Christmas Day, we stumbled across the Sake. Feeling both hungry and adventurous, in we went, and promptly got a table. It’s a stylish if slightly dated decor, but perfect for a Japanese cafe. We are not big fans of sushi but noticed the menu had plenty of other options. It was pretty busy but our server, Quicha, brought water immediately and we ordered drinks. It’s a quiet but lively atmosphere, great for conversation. We ordered the Rock Shrimp Tempura and the portion was surprisingly large and extremely hot. The shrimp were delicious! I ordered beef teriyaki entree which came with a small salad and rice. As you can hear and see in the video, it came to the table sizzling hot. The teriyaki was outstanding - not too sweet as I often find in most restaurants. The rice was perfect, and equally hot. My husband got udon with shrimp and it was delicious. Because it was Christmas, they had many takeout orders, so we noticed a delay bringing our food, but Quicha did what any experienced server would do - she explained, apologized, kept us in drinks, and told them to stop accepting takeout orders so she could serve her customers better. Whether you love sushi or not, this cafe is a sure bet if you like Japanese cuisine. Highly recommended.
