SAKAE Sushi & Grill 243 California Drive, Burlingame, CA 94010

"I’m on a very strict diet for medical reasons which leaves me with a VERY limited assortment of foods I can eat. I can’t eat any seasoning, any sauces, any flavor or else my throat swells up and I choke. Therefor, nigiri is one of the few foods I can eat… except not here because WITHOUT WARNING they prepare their nigiri with wasabi paste (which is traditionally tho rarely used in the preparation of nigiri in my experience. So I paid for my entire order despite being able to eat about half of it. Aside from that, the sushi vinegar was well balanced, the miso soup came hot and delicious (and without a spoon), but the sushi rice did come out a bit soggy. It is the end of the day, tho."

"An understated Japanese restaurant, the layout is accommodating, the seating is comfortable, tableware are authentic and elegant. The service is professional and attentive. The menu choices are plenty, every dish was delicious. Try the beef tongue, duck and eggplant along with the garlic edamame."

"The sushi was so good I had to give a 5 star rating while I was still in the restaurant!"

"Just a really great experience eating with coworkers. Sushi is really fresh. The sushi chef also served us some samples I would have not tried on my own. I highly recommend eating at the sushi bar"

"Classy Japanese sushi restaurant in a chic venue. They have lots of rare fishes that you can't get anywhere else, and they are so fresh... Yum... We had the sushi course, prepared personally by chef Hiro Endo himself. It's just out of this world delicious. And the staff is attentive with excellent service. It is pricey, but if you are a sushi/sashimi lover, you really got no choice. They have tasty fishes that are just not available elsewhere. You have to try it!"
