This is one of my favorite places to bring friends. The staff and chefs are so warm. The food never fails to fill us up and be delicious from start to finish. They take pride in their presentation and have an awesome selection of non-alcoholic beverages catering to me (4 months pregnant). Everything came out timely and we enjoyed newer dishes as they change the menu to keep things interesting. It always works. Always order with the medium saucy wings and an order of the hamachi spoons. A delight every time!

We tried this place for the first time based on Open Table reviews, the menu and the photos of the food. To be fair, the food looked beautiful when it came out. The problem was it didn’t taste great at all. “Saucy” is a perfect name because the only flavor was in each sauce. We ordered popcorn shrimp which was overcooked and totally bland. The dipping sauce was basic. Chicken wings were very crispy and smothered in sauce. Sauce was too sweet and beyond the skin the chicken meat had no flavor. Garlic noodles were basic. Veggie dish was super basic and only flavor came from the thin (again sweet) sauce at the bottom of the bowl. None of the flavors were complex. Just super sweet and basic. Service was nice and attentive (although why does open table ask if you have a special occasion -in this case a birthday? It was never mentioned or acknowledged.) Music was great. Beautiful space. But we went there for food. We won’t be back.

Great food! We had the pickled pineapple, garlic noodles, basil chicken and pumpkin tofu curry with beef. The curry was my favorite dish by far.

Since my first amazing experience at Saucy, I’ve taken different friends, family members, and colleagues. Each time has always been stellar! Saucy consistently provides attentive service and delicious food. My latest favorites: Hamachi spoons, Thai corn dogs, and spicy udon. I highly recommend Saucy. Stop by to support the lovely local owners!

Fun attentive servers. Good portions. Tasty meal. Made it in time for happy hour, which ends at 6:00, so we got a deal on a couple of appetizers and sake before ordering our mains. No great fish options, but the chicken and beef entrees were tasty.

Really cool looking spot. Food was good! It all came out very quickly. We ordered the wings and a mango lemonade sake cocktail (excellent) thinking it would be an appetizer. We went ahead and put in the main order, and it all came out within 10-15 mins. Service was great and not too pushy. Servings were big and the prices matched.
