Continuing on my quest for a go-to sushi restaurant, I did a Yelp search for sushi places along my route of errands. With most places closing for "lunch break" from 3 – 5 p.m., my search brought me closer to home and I ended up at Sake.
When I walked in, I was warmly welcome by both the girl and the chef. They handed me and menu, and asked if it was for here or to go. I ordered the Fire Cracker Roll, Belleville Roll, Vegetable Roll and the Kanypo Roll. Yes, when I try out a new sushi place, I like to go all out and try at least three different varieties.
I was told to have a seat and she brought every thing to me. The Belleville was absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe how amazing it was. The perfect combination of all my favorite items – eel, avocado, crab & cucumber. I fell in love and ate three pieces before even trying any of the others.
The vegetable roll was ok. But then you couldn't really expect a roll filled with rabbit food to be that interesting, now could you?
The Fire Cracker Roll was my second favorite. Spicy salmon. Need I say more? It was just the perfect amount of spice to not burn the taste buds off my tongue. It will definitely be making it to my 'order again' list, along side the Belleville.
The Kanypo was ok. Not a big fan of Japanese squash. I had to try it though. Now I can never say that I passed on it and wonder what it was like.
Finishing my two favorites and almost the other two, I forced myself to move and pay the bill. While closing out my bill, we made small talk. I let them know how much I loved the food and would definitely be returning. The one downfall for some would be that they do not deliver. However, if you want "FRESH" sushi, you really should get off your bum and eat it if not right then & there at the restaurant, but at least pick it up. Freshness makes the sushi so much better.
I definitely loved the friendly welcome & service I received here and will definitely return. They made me feel like I was a lifelong customer on my first visit. A way to my heart besides having amazing choices (which they do) and even more amazing food is fantastic customer service. They definitely met all my expectations and then some. I can't believe it has taken me this long to find this little gem, especially since it is right in my very own town.
Strange. One worker, two customers. The miso soup was tasty. The sashimi salmon appetizer was very fresh, but the rolls were small and expensive. Our bills was over $60 and it felt like I ordered nothing. He gave us a free mochi ice cream when we paid which was nice.
The atmosphere could use some work. There was a commercial/infomercial playing on the tv the entire time we were there. It was about operation smile, so needless to say it wasn't the most upbeat Saturday night dinners I've had…
pretty decent sushi for nutley. i thought I would have had to go to montclair to get something decent. I just picked up here recently – i enjoyed the spicy crunchy salmon roll but didnt like that they put little matchsticks of cucumber in it. that kind of took up most of the roll and not as much salmon. I did enjoy that basic roll better than the more expensive specialty roll i had – either the east new york or west new york roll – whichever one had the tuna. the tuna was just in large strange chunks and took up most of the roll. it was kind of uninteresting and seemed sloppily put together. I would definitely come back there though as the fish was fresh tasting -even on a holiday but probably only for basic rolls.
