Saku Yakitori & Sushi Bar 123 East 5th Street, Charlotte, NC 28202

"The vibe is way cool here especially the second floor. The food is incredible. We got the edamame beans but you have to try the mix of garlic chili and truffle oil, insanely good. The sushi is killer and the wagu beef just melts in your mouth. Had a great time with top notch service."

"Simply outstanding. Here for a work trip in town. The service from the gent working the door, hostess, to the bartenders and manager was simply outstanding. The food was second to none and very fairly priced. The toro was as good as I’ve had anywhere in the world. Would make a trip back to Charlotte if only for this spot."

"My daughter chose to have her birthday dinner here. We made reservations for 9pm and arrived about 10 minutes early. We were seated within 5 minutes. The staff was attentive and helpful, even with a full restaurant. The food and drinks were great. I'm sure that we'll visit again."

"I’ve been here two weeks in a row and it just keeps getting better!! We had the best waitress Rose who really brought the charm and gave us her valuable suggestions on food. She definitely has great taste. See everyone next week. ;) highly recommended the bone marrow and yellowtail belly! The lamb pops were also amazing. Enjoy."

"We visited Saku back in Sept ‘22 and had an amazing experience so we went back last month before heading to a show at the Belk Theatre. The service is top-notch and the food is delicious! Sushi was fresh and the rolls are in innovative without being pretentious. We had apps and rolls and even a surprise sake! The atmosphere is hip and intimate and perfect for a date night. We sat at the sushi bar this time but want to return when the weather warms to sit on the patio. We plan to go back this weekend before another show so we can enjoy food our kids don’t get excited about and maybe try some new items. Don’t miss this Uptown Gem!"
