I'm giving Sake 4 stars because our first visit there was very pleasant. I really enjoy the decor/atmosphere; a bit different than the usual Ft Smith eatery. Our waitress was very attentive, and our $4 happy-hour martinis were better than I expected. I ordered the mahi-mahi tacos even though I was at a sushi restaurant because they sounded delicious, and I was pretty happy with them...EXCEPT for the quality of the corn tortillas. They could have been outstanding, but the tortillas were the quality you buy at the local discount grocery chain. We'll definitely go back to experience the sushi, and hope to continue to give a 4 star rating; I've already shared with my friends that they should check it out!

Love this place. I go here with a girlfriend for a girls night out occasionally. The python, white samurai, and tornado rolls are some of our favorites. Ask for the secret menu, (it's written on a piece of cardboard kept behind the bar) it also has some delicious rolls on it. Fantastic martinis, too many to list. Great upscale fresh sushi for Fort Smith.

I like this place for sushi and cocktails. BUT....the service here is usually pretty slow and indifferent. I never understand why some places don't make taking care of the customer as high of a priority as they make the food. I do like the avocado bowl and many of the rolls.

Giving one star because we waited 3 hours for our food . The sushi was actually pretty good and they kept beer coming but many in our party ordered martinis that took 45 min and multiple reminders to get BUT 3 hours for sushi is crap, we had to talk to the manager just to get our meals going, after 4 people in our party left it still took 2 hours .....another heads up .. do not order the judge parker it's terrible

Great service, good food. I was looking for fresh sushi, and it was hard to find a combination that didn't contain fried something. This was definitely "Arkansas Sushi" with many rolls containing fried chicken or steak! I went for the Michael Mon roll and the Tornado roll and they were both tasty. It's a good option if you prefer to avoid chains and sample the local finds.

I went here this last Friday with an old friend. I just recently moved to the area and really wanted to find some good sushi. We waited almost an hour for 2 rolls. I asked the server if the razorback would be really spicy as it comes w/ jalapeños, she said that she doesn't like spice and you can barely tell they're on there. When the food finally did come it was almost too spicy to eat. So many jalapeños in there. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because she kept the drinks coming making the wait bearable. I won't be going back here though unfortunately. Not the best sushi I've had. The server was sweet, but that doesn't help the food aspect, and that's why we went there.

Love the ambience which is why we continued to visit. However, without fail we wait a minimum of 20 minutes for cocktails and the restaurant is only at 20% capacity (basically empty---every time ). After 5 attempts to give them the opportunity to improve services, they failed!!! After 30 minutes nothing, this establishment is in need of a "bar rescue"! The owner should be ashamed for allowing this level of service. I will be surprised if they remain in business this time next year.
