SAKAE Sushi & Grill

I’m on a very strict diet for medical reasons which leaves me with a VERY limited assortment of foods I can eat. I can’t eat any seasoning, any sauces, any flavor or else my throat swells up and I choke. Therefor, nigiri is one of the few foods I can eat… except not here because WITHOUT WARNING they prepare their nigiri with wasabi paste (which is traditionally tho rarely used in the preparation of nigiri in my experience. So I paid for my entire order despite being able to eat about half of it. Aside from that, the sushi vinegar was well balanced, the miso soup came hot and delicious (and without a spoon), but the sushi rice did come out a bit soggy. It is the end of the day, tho.

Neighborhood place, clean, quiet. Almost minimalist with excellent food.

One of the best sushi in the bay area

Quality

An understated Japanese restaurant, the layout is accommodating, the seating is comfortable, tableware are authentic and elegant. The service is professional and attentive. The menu choices are plenty, every dish was delicious. Try the beef tongue, duck and eggplant along with the garlic edamame.

Jun San is extremely skillful and attentive to customers' preferences. Wing is super polite and quick to attend to your needs.

The sushi was so good I had to give a 5 star rating while I was still in the restaurant!

Good food.
