It is just an average japanese restaurant in town. nothing to be excited about. the food is average, the interior is out dated, and the service is below average. but the price is very expensive for what they serve. The fish is fresh but taste is just plain, boring. It is not a japanese-owned & run restaurant, so do not expect to get real sushi there.

Average sushi, adequate service, and acceptable prices.

Average to below-average sushi. Move the damn boxes and clutter off the bar, it's not what I want to see when I walk into a restaurant

Sushi Sake is medium-sized sushi bar/restaurant. There are no Japanese behind the sushi bar, do not expect traditional Japanese sushi manners and habits. As is typical of American sushi bars, the staff knows two words of Japanese, welcome and goodbye, and no Japanese sushi traditions.

On the other hand, the service is excellent and the fish is fresh. Rarely, some real gourmet delights such as toro, uni, mirugai will be available. Unfortunately, the one time the author had the mirugai it had already died. More widely available fish were excellent however. This author is prepared to overlook the lack of a traditional Japanese experience for fresh fish and efficient service, especially in a steak town like Austin.

The bar is stocked with several excellent - and expensive - sakes. Treat yourself to one of the better bottles of sake and forget the cheap stuff.
