    Small independently owned business. Inside has a traditional style of Japanese design. They ship in some of their fish from Japan. Top notch quality! Everything was fresh and delicious. We tried the artichoke tempura this was amazing! Tried some sushi, a rainbow roll and hamachi collar. You have to call to make reservations. Definitely going back!

    Authentic sushi. No Westernized, fusion-y junk. Very high quality ingredients, many items flown in from Japan. You get what you pay for. The top grade stuff is super expensive but worth it. It will remind you why you love sushi.

    One of the best sushi places on the peninsula. Order omakase and sit at the sushi bar. Super fresh, a lot of wild fish flown in from Japan. Great presentation and flavors. Love everything about this place.

    Simply wonderful fresh fish in an intimate, but comfortable space. This is not a creative roll or fake krab and mayo kind of place. There are two ways to do Sakae the right way. For dinner, sit at the bar and let the chef dazzle and surprise you with whatever is fresh on the whiteboard. It is unique and special, but not inexpensive. However, the weekday lunch specials ( which I rarely get to indulge in due to my work schedule) featuring sushi, sashimi and chiarasi are a great way to get more bang for your buck. Today my son and I were able to walk in. I got the Sushi and sashimi ( Tokyo combo) and my son got the Sashimi combination. These were similar, except his came with a bowl of rice. We were both so pleased with our meal- healthy and lots of high quality, delicious protein. Both meals were approximately $32 which for the quality and quantity of fish was so reasonable. If you are hungry and like more variety, I think the Sushi and Sashimi lunch is the way to go Service was attentive enougb and we were in and out pretty quickly. Sitting at the bar and slowly ordering piece by piece is still my favorite way to go, but the price tag is more precious. Regardless, if you love fresh, raw unadorned fish, this is THE only sushi restaurant in Burlingame.
