I never thought I'd find fresh fish out here, but the folks here have managed it. And they craft it into some truly creative rolls. If you get something spendy, they turn your meal into a special occasion, with towering garnishes and (sometimes literally) glowing presentation. I talked to the host there, and was told that they make their own soy sauce, too! Yum. This isn't some place where you can get top-notch nigiri, but you wouldn't expect that from a sushi joint with these prices, no matter where you are.

I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect it to be good and it was. It was good and priced right. The service is also great. I would definitely return. We split the spicy roll combo and sashimi dinner. It was more than enough good for my husband and I...we actually left food on the tray. We also tried the shu mai and it was great.

This was my first sushi experience and it has always been a great place to get your sushi fix in Brookings. I can't give a five since I know they can do better with service (friendlier, more approachable) and flavor (less greasy especially) but that Half price on Monday deal is amazing and I appreciate having a good sushi option in Brookings.

If you manage your expectations of mid-west sushi you will be fine. I'm used to California Sushi and more sashmi. But consider where you are and this sushi place is good. I've been to 3 other sushi places in South Dakota and this one happens to be the best. For food to price it is alright. I've tried sushi on the menu and needless to say I only get the rainbow roll. This is because everything else is fried or cooked rolls which is great for people new to sushi, but not for those who love sashmi. For what sushi in South Dakota I give 4/5 but for sushi in general by price and by american standards I give it a 2/5. I also get the Udon and am a semi-fan considering there is no where else to get it in Brookings, but ask for it spicy and you'll be less disappointed also the beef is not stellar. Hibachi is pretty standard and basic to other places in terms of portions, meats and taste. Service, is not great. A couple of time the sushi (gozilla roll) came cold because it was sitting at the sushi bar for 20+ minutes and no one ever brought it to us. Despite all of this, I go every other Monday night when they have 50% off sushi so I can chow down my rainbow roll for $4.95. Gone more than 20 times and will keep going just because I'm sick of steak and potato.

So I meant to give Sake Sushi & Hibachi one angry star. I really did. But then I had an epiphany. It was 4 AM. I'd driven my dad's 1979 Ford Pinto up a steep knoll overlooking the widest stretch of the Big Sioux River in Brookings County. I had to get out of this crazy town and see the sunrise and just really THINK, y'know? From that incredible vantage (five full feet) I watched the morning sun bounce off the width of the river's surface (all five feet of it) and it reminded me how small we all really are. That's when I saw my spirit guide, the ghost of George McGovern, wandering toward me out of the prairie dawn. He leaned into the passenger window of my dad's Pinto and said, "My friend, hate is just love disappointed." He was right. There are worse restaurants in Brookings than Sake Sushi & Hibachi. There's King's Wok, possibly the worst restaurant in the central time zone. Compared to King's Wok, SS&H is Sukiyabashi Jiro. But I don't hate King's Wok. So if I hate SS&H, it's only because back when they opened, less than a year ago, I loved them. Before Sake Sushi & Hibachi opened, they mounted a sandwich board on their sidewalk with pictures of sushi, hibachi. Scrawled across the board in big, loud, hastily written black sharpie letters was an attempt to assuage wary Dakotans: "90% OF OUR MENU COOKED." I can't blame them for their (mistaken) assumption that locals might avoid sushi on account of what sushi is: raw fish. Remember that TV spot where Terry Bradshaw tells the sushi chef, "You forgot to cook this!"? Hahaha dumb Midwestern rubes, rite? So me and Mrs. S. visit SS&H in October. We order some maki and, lo & behold, it's good. Really good. Tasty, nicely plated, and fun. Next visit, we order take-out. Mrs. S. gets maki and I jump for a big ol' plate of sashimi and whaddaya know, it's really, really good! All my sushi is served on slices of lemon, which kinda bums me out (I like to control the concentration of flavors), but the fish is excellent. The tuna is beautiful: bright red, lean, clean, and tasty. The white tuna is oh-so sweet. The scallops taste a little ripe, but I'm just happy to have scallops. And the octopus is (this REALLY blew my mind) soft and tender, not rubbery at all. It goes perfectly with the lemon. Bravo! I have lunch at the sushi bar a few times. The chef and I chat. I tell him how much I love his tuna. He seems excited to be serving sushi in Brookings. Then we hear rumors: Sake Sushi & Hibachi isn't doing so well. They're struggling. Sometime in the winter I show up for lunch and something has changed. The tuna is pink and laced with fat. Talking with the chef, I note the change. "We got a new distributor," he says, smiling. "The tuna is fattier," I say. "Yes," he beams, "isn't it delicious?" And I admit, fatty tuna tastes good. You enjoy it the way you enjoy a McDonald's hamburger. But up until now, I've been enjoying the sushi equivalent of a medium-rare kobe burger fresh off the grill. (At least that's what it felt like after the tuna went pink.) So now it's March. It's Monday night at SS&H, and the dining room is packed. People are sitting in the lobby and in the entryway, waiting for a table. I'm here to order take-out. I squeeze up to the hostess. All around, people are giving me the stink-eye: they think I'm cutting them in line for a table. "Another crazy Monday night!" the hostess says: "At this rate, I think we'll stay in business!" "What's Monday night?" I ask. She seems surprised that I don't know: "It's half-price sushi night!" Ruh roh! A good sushi joint that starts offering specials ("buy two rolls get one free!") either has profits to burn or is desperate for traffic. But I'm here to order take-out, so I do. I pay. Thirty minutes later, my brown take-out bag is sitting by the sushi bar. I wait five more minutes for the hostess to notice and bring it over to me. Can't blame her; she's swamped. I go home and open the bag. Offense the Lesser: they forgot to include my rice. Offense the Greater: my sushi has been sitting on top of hot soup and a warm appetizer and is now warm. The octopus is rubbery and flavorless (thanks new distributor!). The tuna is fat, warm, but edible. The salmon, the yellowtail, and everything else smells and tastes as if it had been pulled from a brackish backwater earlier that day and let sit in the sun. I throw most of it (~$30 worth of sushi) in the trash, then empty the trash lest my house reek of aquarium. This must be what those Midwestern rubes imagine sushi tastes like. But here's the thing about those "rubes," something Ghost McGovern could've told me back in September when I laughed at the "90% COOKED" sign: Midwesterners don't have a problem with raw fish. They don't hate sushi: they hate PAYING for sushi. Offer them crappy sushi @ half price, and they'll come in droves! Lines out the door! After a few lean months, SS&H wised up to this. So congrats, Brookings! At Sake Sushi & Hibachi, you get what you pay for.

It is ok. We have been there a few times. The service is good. The selection is ok. It is as fresh as you can get for being so far from the sea.

Excellent!

Pretty solid little Hibachi place. No cooks in front of you though. Surprisingly good sushi for Brookings, SD.

The food is good, I always enjoy what I get here. The service however, not so much. The bad service starts with coming through the door, to getting seated and continues all the way to ordering food. They are really indifferent and don't seem like they care that you came to the restaurant or not. If it wasn't the only place in town to get Japanese food I wouldn't come here anymore.

The restaurant is gorgeous and quiet, though a little dark. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful in assisting us to decide what to order. I'd never been to a sushi bar before, so that was much appreciated. I can't speak to the food, as I didn't so much enjoy my choice, but my daughter very much enjoyed her udon noodles and chicken. I do plan to go back and try something else on the menu.

Sushi in south dakota should come with low expectations. The fish, as expected, is low quality and should not be considered fresh. They do an excellent job making the rolls, and from what i observed their other food options look very tasty. If you are a hardcore sushi fan like myself, dont go in with high expectations.
