| - I've always been the AYCE Sushi kind of girl but Saku Sushi changed my life! Top quality food with exceptional service... AYCE sushi is never the same to me anymore ever since I've been to Saku.
My boyfriend and I came around 3 pm on a Saturday - it wasn't packed at all! Not surprising as there was a snow storm going on (bad weather still can't stop me from getting sushi). We were seated every fast in one of the tables in front of the bar. The decor was really sophisticated and modern - but even with the door closed, it was still very very cold. Saku should put a heater somewhere near the front tables during winter! Sushi is so much better when you don't have to wear a jacket and constantly think about how cold it is.
For food, we ordered:
- Salmon Pressed Sushi: AMAZING! It was so soft and melts in your mouth. I'm drooling just thinking about this. I already thought pressed sushi was good at AYCE, but Saku proved me wrong. I'm always getting this every time I come here!
- Lobster King Roll: I don't even know where to start. The rolls were GIGANTIC! I really loved that they put a lobster shell on top of the rolls .. presentation was A1 for my snaps LOL! I usually hate avocado in my sushi but there was so much in this roll that I can barely taste the avocado which is a big plus. It doesn't look very filling but you'll be surprised lol. I didn't eat anything prior to coming here but after eating and sharing this, I was already quite full. Definitely get this if you are down to try another type of roll that isn't too out of your comfort zone but not your typical AYCE special rolls.
- Kimchi Yaki Udon: I may be completely bias here, as I am a major Udon and kim chi fan but this was my favourite dish. The portion was huge, and the combination of the sour taste of the kimchi and saltines of the yaki Udon really put the whole plate together. The problem I find with most places is that they always put way too much onion in their yaki Udon, but that is not the case here! There was just the perfect amount of every ingredient to balance every single taste out. I usually prefer meat with my noodles but this was so good I didn't even mind it. If I wasn't so full, I would've gotten another one LOL!
- Premium Sashimi Platter: uhh if you're an adventurous person, definitely try this. This came with scallops, shrimps, king salmon, sea urchin and fish eggs. I'm more of a basic sashimi kind of gal, I prefer the regular salmon, white tuna and surf clam. Despite my protest to not get this, my boyfriend thought he was the shit and got it anyways. I barely touched it! I mean everything was still good but it just wasn't the same as the typical sashimi. The sea urchins was untouched :P ITS JUST NOT OUR THING! Someone with more of a back bone to try new foods would definitely enjoy this.
Food is definitely 5/5. Service is also 5/5, my boyfriend was sick and kept coughing throughout our time here. The server noticed and she offered tea and even a Tylenol in the end! I've been to many restaurants, few times where me or my bf was sick and never have I experienced or seen this. She really went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable! I wish I got her name to give her a proper shout out.
If you are looking for a restaurant with awesome food and feel taken care of, DEFINITELY COME TO SAKU! This is now my favourite sushi restaurant everything was just perfect!
