I don't go here for seafood. I go here for the chicken wings. If you like honey bbq or lemon pepper, try both together!

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW :D [ every section is a pretty quick read.] I had been craving sushi for a bit, and I was in the area with my family looking for a place to eat. I saw this place on my maps, and checked reviews (they were very mixed), but nonetheless I decided to ignore the negative ones. INTERIOR/EXTERIOR To start, the first thing I noticed was the decorations. This place is so well decorated, and I really felt comfortable being there. There were comments about it being messy, but it wasn't too messy. However, I had to brush off my seat before sitting down. Now the exterior, on the other hand, I noticed it was quite small and looked a little run-down. However, from my experience, run-down restaurants tend to be pretty great! FOOD & DRINK: My family members both had the sweet tea, and they enjoyed it very much (opposite of the review left about the tea being sour). I myself, enjoyed some bubble milk tea. I am actually a huge fan of boba, and had been craving some for quite some time. I don't usually enjoy taro milk tea, but I really liked Sake Cafe's! It wasn't too sweet, and I liked the flavor of the tapioca pearls. Food time. As an appetizer, we decided to try the squid, which I had never tried before. The texture was interesting, but I did enjoy the flavor. (I also liked how it came out steaming.) I then ordered some teriyaki chicken, with the tropical roll. The chicken also came out fresh and steaming, and I really enjoyed what seemed to be a buttery teriyaki sauce on the bottom of the pan. (I love me a good sizzle). The chicken was pretty good, though I would've liked a bit more seasoning. SUSHI! I loved the way the sushi plate was decorated with a little palm tree on the side. As for the sushi itself, I really enjoyed this tropical roll. It comes with crab and mango within the roll, and it is topped with this pink/white thing and fish eggs! I recommend trying out this roll if you like to have a bit of a sweet taste. Unfortunately, I did tend to get full a bit fast since I was trying a bit or sip of everything at the table, but it was worth it. The bad reviews did not have an affect on my dining experience, and I am truly happy I pushed them to the side to try a new sushi place. I give this place 5 stars, simply because I was pleased with the service we received. Our waiter was great, checking in on us, but not too excessively which I liked. The food was pretty good, despite the lack of seasoning, and the drinks were great! I'm also in love with the interior, and I really did feel like I was in a comfortable atmosphere. Thank you Sake Cafe! - - m

I absolutely loved my experience at Sake Cafe! I have been addicted to the fried gyoza ever since my first visit a few months ago! I highly recommend the Cindy Roll, Fuji Roll, peach sweet tea, and the strawberry boba as well.

This place has the best fried basket options in Laurel. Every since I had their fried sake wings, fried shrimp and catfish plate with fries, hush puppies and Cole slaw, I haven't ordered fried basket anywhere else. For my daughter I got the veggie tempura and she loved it.

It was a bit louder the day that I went in. Somebody was having a personal conflict, but the staff there were very nice.
