Senior Man Night Out and we had a great time. One person of the four was here for the first time and loved the food. He said his salmon teriyaki was excellent and cooked perfectly. The other three guys are regulars and we chose Sake 23 because no matter what we order here, and we have tried a lot of offerings, the food is always delicious and perfectly prepared.

The experience was fine but the food was disappointing. The sushi did not taste fresh and the pad Thai was like soup. We were missing some items that they forgot to bring out and gave Us a credit for. It felt like opening week of a restaurant that’s been open for years. Not sure we’ll be returning.

Server seemed overwhelmed and we were seated in a back room that was sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant, so that was a little disappointing. Food was ok, kind of expensive for the experience we had.

Such a happy restaurant with good service and a mixed bag of people enjoying each other and the delicious food. Sake 23 is a perfect place for groups and also a perfect restaurant for a date. There are lots of different menu choices all easy to share. Tonight we had summer rolls very different from other Asian restaurants in that they serve them slightly warmed and their peanut sauce is the best. We also had pot stickers with two different sauces intertwined which we thoroughly enjoyed. We also had the Hawaiian roll and we would order it again hands down. It’s 21 miles one way from our home and well worth the drive

Food was excellent, very creative and presented well. We really enjoyed our visit and the food. We felt the service was exceptional and that our server was definitely above the norm. We were there for a birthday celebration and were delighted by our experience that evening.

Food and ambience are superior, but noise level makes it hard to hear even at a table for four located as far as possible from the speakers. Server was pleasant, but had little knowledge of gins or wines.

Went there for New Years Eve dinner with my husband. Ordered the smaller boat for both of us and it was amazing. We even had plenty of food to take home and it was delicious. Staff is very nice too. Definitely recommend this place!
