There is one place you’re almost guaranteed to find me at least once per week getting my sushi fix – Sushi Sake. My friends and I usually meet there on Fridays in time to take advantage of their sushi happy hour ($1.50 per piece of nigiri sushi). In fact, we’ve gone there so often that the staff has dispensed with their usual, “formal” greeting of “Irashaimase!” in lieu of a more familiar “Hey guys!”
While I’ve read a few negative reviews of the place online and heard my share of people say, “Musashino’s better,” or “Uchi’s better,” I’ve never had a bad experience there, and I’ve never left hungry, like have with Uchi (where I spent twice as much for less food). I find the fish to be of excellent quality, and the portions are always just right.
Sushi Sake
In addition to sushi, you can also order a wide variety of Japanese cuisine, from ramen and udon noodles to katsu don and various tempura dishes. Add a good variety of mixed drinks, wines, sake, beer, etc., and you’ve got a great night out.
Sushi Sake is located in the Gateway Plaza, near the intersection of Capitol of Texas Highway and Research Blvd.
