I’m big on ambiance, art, architecture and decor and the place is beautifully designed! Every inch of that place looked like it was hand picked with incredible detail. To the signs, to the beautiful art on the brick walls which I was told was painted by a local graffiti artist. Even down to the napkins folded into shirts! OMG the white leather (hopefully pleather ) crocodile design looking seats are very cool looking and comfortable too!

From the minute you walk in, you feel like you’ve wandered into a post apocalyptic cirque du soleil set. There’s a guy that’s a cross between Chris Angel and someone from the Rocky Horror Picture Show running around the place almost at the speed of light. I am stating this up front: Dinner at Sake Rock is an adventure, and NOT for the entitled shallow-hearted.

Ginormous cartoon-sized menus, boy band sing-a-longs, interactive diner participation complete with spankings, dancing waitresses (and they were GOOD dancers) and wonderful singers.

We arrived for dinner at around 8:30 p.m. We were greeted by two very nice hostesses and escorted to a table in the center of the dinning area.

Our server was Mike. He was very upbeat as is EVERYONE at Sake Rok. It’s impossible not to get engrossed with the vibe this restaurant puts out.

Mikes knowledge of the menu was amazing. He knw everything and MORE. He worked patiently with me due to a few food alergies. He even had the chefs alter some of the ingredients in some of the selections I could not have inorder for me to be able to eat them.

Most of the food is meant to be sharred and that’s what we did.

We started with Edamame -Soybeans, Seasalt and Lime.
The also is a Edamame Rok version that includes Asian garlic butter and chili.

Dorene recently introduced me to Edamame and there were the best I have had.

Next was Cucumber Sunomono: Wakame, Ginger, Ponzu and Seasame Seed.

Very tasty appetizer.

Up next was Japanese Fried Chicken (Karaage)This included both meat ans skin portions..very good.

We had sides of Coconut Rice (no picture) and Charred Asparagus with preserved lemon and sea salt.

The presentation of the asparagus was simply beautiful.

To our surprise, Chef Boby Silva came over to out table to say hello. He brought with him a beautiful
plate of thin sliced Japanese Wagu beef along with a hot pot for cooking. He personally show us how to properly cook it.

This was a lot of fun and really elevated our dining experience.

Completing this amazing meal was Japanese Ice Cream(MOCHI) in assorted flavors.

There’s nothing that we didn’t like about this place.

This place is AMAZING. Good vibes are everywhere and the food is amazing. There was never a dull moment while dining here.

One note: Bathrooms are Unisex..after a couple of Saki Bombs, you won’t care.
