It's my favorite sushi place in the triangle! There are so many great options, and it's always buy one get one free. Staff is always friendly and prompt. Make sure you check the days they are open because we went one time and they had changed them and were closed but that doesn't take away from the food. The food is amazing.

Overpriced and smelly. Got the Black Widow and it was only 5 pieces. $3.40 a piece.. Also got the "Crazy Roll." It was bland and the rice was old. Harris Teeter on 54 sells way better sushi and for a fraction of the price. They served both rolls in the same oversized plastic tray. So they were mushing into each other and fell apart... You'd think a Sushi restaurant would have nice small trays for each separate roll. That's a head-scratcher. Sorry Sake Bomb.

We usually always order sushi from this place my boyfriend didn’t know they didn’t take Apple Pay. She told us we had toCome in the place our order because they don’t have apply pay from now on. There is no policy stating they don’t have Apple Pay. The lady said we didn’t pay mutiple times which was a lie !! We just move to Durham. She knew our order by heart but stating that we didn’t pick upThe food mutiple times. She a liar and they don’t have any policy’s. She ju

Went for a late, quick lunch (1:15) before heading into a meeting. The sushi was good, but nothing special. The seaweed salad was quite tasty. It was quite slow only one or two other people in the place. Service was fine but again nothing special. Even with the sushi being buy one get one free, my lunch of a seaweed salad and two sushi rolls was $27.

My wife and I absolutely love sushi, We've been to many places in the area. But this place is probably the best middle-class sushi joint we've been too.The service was top notch, with very knowledgeable staff. She helped us become very familiar with the menu and make great choices on what to eat.If you're coming for sushi this is definitely a place you want to go! I don't regret coming here for our anniversary even though we ate 10 sushi rolls and had to waddle out like a duck from being so full!The only thing we didn't like were the pork dumplings. They tasted like they were previously frozen.But we got that on a whim knowing that this is sushi restaurant, so we didn't expect much to begin with.Will we be coming back? Absolutely! Would we ever get anything other than sushi and saki here? Definitely not.As for the liquor we tried some of the hot sake which is pretty strong but very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was classy even if the exterior of the building doesn't allude to being so.

The sushi was delicious, and the saki was refreshing. Wesley was a wonderful host/bartender. I have plans to return for the Korean BBQ.

Food was amazing, I did pick up so I cannot rate the other categories. I had the Korean BBQ ribs, calamari, fried rice, wontons, and beef magnolia. Everything was tasty. I must say the calamari is not the regular calamari rings you get at other restaurants, but it was tasty.

Great value on sushi! The special combination rolls are but one, get one free. They have a great selection. I tried two rolls so far, and they were pretty good. I'll certainly be going back to try the others! Wesley is a fantastic server too!

I gave this place “Saké Bomb” a 1 star rating although it deserves 0 stars! This is the worst hibachi food I’ve ever had in my 30 years of existence on this earth. The food was flavorless and over priced. My salmon was slimy inside and my vegetables were half cooked. Also, they have no public bathroom as of December 2023. This restaurant was empty and tapped off like a murder scene, and there were no customers coming in nor leaving. Their soy sauce and yum yum sauce was extremely watered down. This place will 100% go out of business very soon if they don’t get things together! I will not be returning to this restaurant in this life time.
