Saki

Absolutely delicious! I visited for the first time ever the other day after living in town my whole life. I wish I’d gone sooner! I ordered the miso soup, veggie gyoza and white dragon sushi. SO GOOD! I fell in love at the first bite. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and the food is awesome! I honestly can’t say whether or not I thought it was pricy, as I have very little sushi experience, but the price did not deter me from ordering as much as I did, nor will it stop me from returning. I definitely recommend, ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Well done, Saki!

This place rocks!!! I had never even thought that I could ever get quality sushi in PTown. I was wrong. Shocked! Saki exceeded ALL expectations! Delicious, fresh fish, interesting choice of rolls. And the SPACE! High ceilings, modern décor. GORGEOUS! The space has an interesting history. Used to be a Methodist Church built in 1800’s. The tables are made using the original beams of the church. Shitake roll was delicious! And special props to our server Alexis, very knowledgeable and accommodating! Will definitely be back!

I go to Saki every time I am in the outer Cape area. I went with my family yesterday and we ordered the largest sushi boat. The fish has consistently been fresh. The wait time for the sushi is incredible. They brought out 56 pieces of sushi within 15 minutes of the order. The appetizers also came out very quick and we’re very good. We ordered gyazo, Mai-​Poi chicken and the thai chicken wrap. The ambience is unique/​modern. They have a full bar. I ordered a Snow Boo which was a cocktail made with saki and it was excellent. We went at 9:30 on a Friday night and the place was packed. Make sure to make reservations. I would recommend this place to any sushi-​lover.

Great food, decent ambiance. Had a great waiter. Lovely sushi and good vegetarian/​vegan options. Cocktails were good but a little pricey at $ 12.

This place is a surprise. Stle-​wise, it reminded me more of the (nice) yuppie bar-​restaurants in SF SOMA than Ptown. I mean that in a good way. Ptown is filled with either casual bayside café-​type places or expensive dark wood-​paneled hideaways. In both categories, most Ptown restaurants don’t live up to their menus. Pretty food that tastes like someone’s cooking class attempt.

I’m going to upgrade to 5 stars. Went back again last night and had another outstanding meal.
Everything is so fresh — the sushi chef is spot on.
We had the «small boat» but we had to ask for modifications due to a soy allergy at the table. We were accommodated (no mayo, no flakes, no eel sauce) and everything was drop-​dead perfect.
The sushi chef visited our table to make sure that what he chose to prepare was OK with us… and he even delivered the boat himself. Beautiful presentation.
The server was excellent, too.
Tempted to go back AGAIN tonight but we should probably try something else…

We were told by our host at the John Randall House that this was the place to go for sushi. He was right! Beautiful atmosphere and décor, paired with amazing service. Food was exceptional with beautiful presentation. If you are in P-​town and looking for sushi this is the place to go!

Nice space and good food. The only complaint was that the edame was over-​cooked to the point of mushy.
Four of us each had cooked entrees, no sushi. Nothing special here, but nothing that would keep me away either. I’ll definitly try the sushi or sashimi next time. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Oddly, there was no green tea or ginger ice cream. With a Ben & Jerry’s right down stairs, we opted for having our desert there.

And we walked in tonight having a reservation for four and was greeted by the most rude host one could possibly imagine. She informed us that I’m sure she doesn’t our jobs and therefore we cannot possibly understand hers or why we would not want to sit exactly right at the entrance of a very crowded post area.
We had a very good but pricey meal with quite good service that was just fine but a little slow given the fact that the hostess told us we had to be out of that table within an hour. After we asked our very nice server if we could speak to the manager… We found out that the incredibly rude hostess is also a manager. wOw!
I have been a bartender and server for many years and also involved in the restaurant industry for many years and have never been greeted so rudely in a restaurant which means I understand and usually very forgiving of many situations. Hopefully the owner will do something about this.

Amazing sushi at Sake Ptown. So fresh and delicious. Ordered the Sashimi Combo as well as an Oshinko Roll on the side. Absolute perfection. Also topped it off with a Plumb Saketini. It was OK. Service was excellent.

Wow. Really good service, size of meals and most of all taste. We celebrated our daughters birthday there. We were not expecting. Such quality. Worth finding.

So what if I told you that there was an affordable (and somewhat sceney-​looking) sushi place above Ben and Jerry’s?
Yeah I couldn’t believe it either. I have been going to Ptown for three years now and was finally introduced. We had a large party of 12 and they worked some magic and seated us right away around 6pm on a weekend.
While their drinks won’t be bringing us back, their sushi was quite delicious. I had an order of the spicy tuna roll and the spicy salmon roll and both were very tasty. It was also enough food to satisfy me – even after a couple drinks from afternoon tea.
In addition to this restaurant having friendly service, a great vibe, and flavorful sushi, was the fact that it didn’t break the bank. For those two rolls, I got out of there with $ 25 including tax and tip, which is very reasonable considering Ptown pricing.
Overall, this place has quickly become one of my favorites in the area and I look forward to going back again next time I’m in town.

Our party of three almost left upon entering based on where we were initially seated even after having made telephone reservations weeks prior (woman on the phone made a joking reference to being an AOL survivor. Haha!). First, she tried to seat us at the sushi bar (umm​.no.) then in the middle of the communal table where no one else was seated, even though there were several booths and tables available. Ok, on to the drink, food and service…
Drinks…mispour of passion fruit martini over olives meant for a dirty martini.
Food…ordered the Tom Yum Goong (Thai soup) which was a clear departure from authenticity. It was really just miso soup with one shrimp. Ma-​poi chicken was really good. I personally also enjoyed the lobster tempura roll, companion liked the spider roll. Other companion ordered the spicy tuna roll but felt it was more like a tartar which was unexpected. It was ok at best.
Service…he was friendly, but inattentive. Took our order, and didn’t see him again until the very end of our meal when one person requested another martini. Speaking of, highly recommend the Summertime in Tokyo…

Sushi/​Asian fusion in a very cool space. We tried the monkey brains and poppers for appetizers, huge and stuffed with various fillings. Very rich and too much going on. The spider roll was good as expected, the spicy tuna roll more of a tartare rolled in rice than pieces of tuna. Couldn’t find maguro on the menu. The papaya salad was great, the avocado salad a bit too creamy for my taste.
Our server was excellent, pouring our cocktails right at the table. They even went out and got a burger for our son at a neighboring restaurant after disclosing that the burger listed on their menu was not being offered that night. Very accommodating, not sure they could offer that in high season, but was impressed with their flexibility. A nice departure from the regular seafood places on Commercial Street.

Built into a converted church, this beautiful space delivers literally some of the best Sushi on Cape Cod, if not beyond.
The menu is very extensive and contained both local inventions as well as traditional items.
While a bit on the pricey side, the Chef treats his dishes as an art form, while taking things to the next level, which we very much appreciated.
Our Server was fantastic and went out of his way to help us decide amongst the vast menu offerings.
Out only complaint was that the Host standing outside was extremely pushy when we were looking at the menu and trying to decide if we would dine there or not.
5-​Stars nevertheless!

This is a hard one to review.
On the one hand, they mix a mighty fine cocktail and their sexy, sleek interior makes for a gorgeous evening.
On the other hand, I found their sushi just ‘ok’. I mean, it wasn’t bad. The fish was fresh and lovely. The rolls themselves, though, *shrugs* meh.
My recommendation: Go for before dinner cocktails – maybe an appetizer or two. Or, head down for a nightcap. Their cocktails and ambiance are definitely worth the trip. But, the sushi? Skip it.

Said no one ever: «Let’s go out for sushi, and I hope the wait staff are SUPER surly and horrible, they withhold your food while it sits on the sushi bar for 40 minutes until the rice dries into something akin to pea gravel, and their nast-​o fish is inedible and mealy. I hope this outing results in starvation, disgust, and emotional anguish.»
That’s the story at Saki. Holy freaking geez, avoid this god-​forsaken establishment.
If you want your food to taste reasonable or good: fuhgettaboutit at Saki, go to the Lobster Pot like every other person in P-​Town. You have to wait forever to get in, but at least you don’t leave the place starving and angry.
If you want your food delivered in a moderately fresh state: they don’t do that here. Expect dried-​up Nast.
If you want the wait staff to treat you like you’re not the biggest pain in their neck that has ever existed: sorry, you can’t go to Saki. And you know, really, who cares if the wait staff are mean, right? But when everything else is also unacceptable, and you’re spending a small fortune for the enormous delay on your bad food, emotional abuse from the waitress just stings a little more.
And finally,
If you have celiac: they will tell you their rice has gluten in it, because they believe rice wine vinegar to contain gluten. Somebody get these guys an education.

They garner their stars for service and drinks… (samurai margarita was excellent– servers were very nice)
Zero stars for food. What did these other Unilocalers eat??? are they from cities with no Japanese/​Thai food?!?
between me and my GF, we ordered three different rolls, the thai soup, chicken lettuce wraps and the drunken noodle entrée.
the lettuce wraps were a solid OK… not at all spicy– far too sweet… a little soy sauce went a long way with those. the thai soup was Meh at best.
the sushi and drunken noodle dish had to have been some of the worst food i’ve had in a while. flavorless and completely spice-​less (even though i made a point to order it very very spicy)… it was really heartbreaking to pay that kind of $$$ for what we ate.
really, my local chinese take out shop does a better spicy tuna roll.
shockingly boring food. you can do so much better elsewhere in Ptown.

Wonderful ambiance — great actually: 4 stars
But strictly OK food: 3 stars
A bit on the expensive side for sure: 2 stars
Great drinks: 4 stars
Overall: 3.5 stars
I had such mixed feelings about this place given my first time (last week). It was a constant left and right like the swinging of the pendulum and at the end of my dining experience, I felt so indecisive whether I liked this place or not; almost as if my zodiac sign had changed to Libra. But, it is definitely on my list of «Try it again»
I got the Summertime in Tokyo which was a refreshing drink — really great given the heat outside.
For Apps, I had the chicken gyoza. Very OK.
For my rolls, I had to go for the Jala-​Hama because I wanted to compare the jalapeño on top to something (heavenly spicy sexy roll) similar I had in Vegas. But this one had no comparison to that. Something was missing. The combination of crabstick and avocado was wrong and didn’t work with the subtle heat of the jalapeño.
And to go with it the Provincetown roll — again, sushi chefs or whoever creates the combination for a roll should take risks and be spot on if trying to be super adventurous. For someone who eats a lot of sushi and is definitely not a snob, it either works or it does not. In this case — it did not. The combination of ingredients didn’t work for me. But I cannot give anything less than 3 stars because it was not bad for a sushi lover.
Others in my dinner party were happy with what they got but all of us left with a common sentiment — «for the price, it was OK. Expensive but OK.» And that’s why I will try and come back and give it another shot (definitely different rolls unless the menu has changed next season).

What a little treasure!
I went on a date here late last night… and while walking down commercial st. at 9:15, I wasn’t sure that I was going to be able to find a place for us to eat, relax, and get to know one another at the late hour. I am so happy that we chose Saki!
Being someone rather new to the world of sushi, I’m always anxious to try new thing. Although I’ve only been to 4 or 5 different sushi restaurants… this was HANDS DOWN the BEST sushi I’ve had. It was so fresh, tender, and flavorful. We had the spicy tuna roll and the Provincetown roll — I was so very pleased with the delicious combination of apple with the tuna and wasabi! We received a complimentary squid salad — yum!!! …and one musn’t neglect the crispy chicken appetizer with a little kick, either — the ma poi chicken was scrumdiddlyumtious!
The martinis are good and fruity! My date loved his cucumber sakitini — I of course had to switch to straight vodka after my first martini — because I’m a sucker for the harsh taste of Absolut Ruby Red.
AND OH BY THE WAY — It is possibly to have a friendly sushi chef! They work here at Saki! Friendliest sushi bar I’ve seen yet! I can’t wait to go back and get a little more daring and try some new seafood delicacies!
