Decided to have a nice lunch before work and realizing I haven't had sushi in a while, I decided to try out Sake San. Located in Fashion Walk, it had been open for a while. Much like all the restaurants here, they have both outdoor and indoor seating. Indoors they have a large sushi bar where the sushi chef works.During lunch they have a lunch set menu. Menu is in English and Chinese. The set includes a miso soup, chawanmushi and coffee or matcha. I came here for sushi so decided on the 12 pi
During lunch they have a lunch set menu. Menu is in English and Chinese. The set includes a miso soup, chawanmushi and coffee or matcha. I came here for sushi so decided on the 12 piece omakase sushi set ($368).
They quickly came out with miso soup and chawanmushi.
The miso soup was not that good. Not enough miso and dashi taste. Felt a bit watered down.
The chawanmushi was fine. The egg was smooth and custardy. Nicely seasoned.
Then the sushi arrived. They present six pieces first and I was informed to eat from right to left starting on the bottom row. The seafood was fresh and decent. The rice was nicely seasoned underneath.
After completing the first six, they brought out the final six. Again the seafood was fresh. However, from this plate the one on the top left was my favorite. I liked the addition of the sakura shrimp to give it a bit of crunch.
The sushi was fine but sadly I did find a bone in one of them. A bit of carelessness from the sushi chef that I shouldn't expect from a $400 lunch. The other items were ok with the miso soup being pretty much forgettable. Staff also seemed to take more time chatting or wandering aimlessly than refilling my tea. For the price I paid, I wasn't really expecting this and won't really be back. However, management did apologize for the bone incident and is probably why I pushed this review to an ok instead of a cry.
