Our bill was $1k. We had 4 alcoholic drinks total. Rolls were $40-50 each and not very flavorful. The patio setting was nice, but a little chilly even with the heaters. Service was just ok.

This was our second time to sakaba and it didn’t disappoint. The tuna crispy rice, winter salad, and miso cod can’t be missed. Neither can dessert. We had to send a drink back once bc it was watered down tasting, but other than that the experience was excellent.

I don't mind spending over $590 for two for a good dinner in a pleasant setting. But this place was literally freezing! We were seated in an outside covered area, even though I had reserved inside standard dining. Despite outside heaters, it was uncomfortably cold. As we were led to our table, I asked the hostess for an inside table. Although there were empty inside tables at the time, I was told none were available. As we were leaving, another guest seated at an inside table said to me, "It must have been cold as hell out there!" It was.
