Only sushi place open nearby that opens at noon on Saturday. Good selections for lunch specials even offered on the weekend. Food was fresh. Rolls weren’t as tight so they would start to fall apart as soon as they were picked up. The box had enough for my friend to take home for a second meal. Decent service.
I like to go to Saketumi for happy hour with my friends. There's a very cool laid back atmosphere at the bar and the food is always good. Happy hour prices are great and the sushi is always delicious! The regular menu features a variety of sushi and Asian dishes for a good price.
We randomly stopped here because it was the closest sushi place on our route, but I am blown away by the quality. Emily was our server, and she was an absolute angel. We will definitely be back next time we're in town.
Looking at this place from the exterior and their website, it looked like a good place to eat. Very misleading and so disappointing. I made a reservation but it wasn’t needed. The place was pretty empty. We were greeted immediately by the server upon being seated. They have a rather decent menu. We started with some appetizers, the Saketumi Appetizer Platter which consist of coconut shrimp, chicken satay, spring roll, shrimp & pork shumai, and crab Rangoon. I told the server I was allergic to mushrooms immediately upon ordering. The description for the vegetable spring roll was shredded cabbage, carrot and glass noodle. I asked if the spring roll was the same as in the platter and she said yes. The order comes and my guest takes the spring roll and their is mushroom in it. Well thank goodness she took that first and not me as it could have killed me. They were very greasy as well. The shumai wasn’t good at all. Small shrimps mushed in with the pork just didn’t work. The chicken satay was extremely dry. The coconut shrimp was good and the crab Rangoon was ok but very small and not much crab in it at all. I also ordered the addicting cucumber salad and sweet potato tempura roll. There was nothing addicting about the cucumber salad and the sweet potato tempura roll was very good but more tempura than sweet potato. Decent portion size for the price too. My entree was the hibachi sirloin steak which comes with a bunch of vegetables (I requested no mushrooms) miso soup and salad. The miso soup was very salty and had tofu in it. I never received my salad. The sirloin steak was not good at all. It did come out without mushrooms but the steak was grizzly, fatty and so tough I couldn’t eat it. Small portion too for the price. It tasted horrible! No sirloin I ever had tasted like this. I had to send it back and it was removed from the check. It left a bad taste in my mouth so I did not order anything else. Before my guest was done with half of her meal, the server brought the check to the table. No offer of anything else or if we would like dessert just the check. This I found to be very rude. With all that being said, no, I won’t return and no, I don’t recommend anyone to go.
Philly Roll tasted bad, actually missing an ingredient per the menu so it was sent back. Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll is just this - Spicy Tuna w/ tempura flakes on it?! Not worth the money, looks poorly conceptualized. Sushi Special tasted ok w/ the Nigiri Sushi, but the plain Tuna Roll - one you wouldn't think would be hard to mess up - didn't taste fresh at all (not in seaweed, rice nor fish.) Plate presentation is nice, but unsure what the 'sauce' is on the plate that wasn't asked for. By time of paying the check, the Philly Roll was still on there. It was mentioned the roll was never received, then a moment later it finally came out on a plate but we were leaving. It was offered to put in a to-go container, but we refused, stating it should've come out correctly w/ our meal in the first place. We politely insisted it be removed from the check (it was, w/ aggressive attitude from the head bartender) and we left. Return is debatable.
