Sushi Sakai - Spokane

My love for sushi is oh so realI've literally tried the majority of the sushi places in this town.

So far this is the best sushi place i've tried in spokane area. They don't have a separate parking lot so you would probably have to street park and walk.

Stopped by on a whim. We got the teriyaki chicken and the unagi don (special of the day). Both dishes came with miso soup.The chicken had a nice char to it, and wasn’t drenched in sauce. I like that they went light on the sauce and offered to bring more if you prefer a saucy teriyaki (which I don’t). I think the salad had some sort of ginger dressing. I enjoyed it.Had a bite of the unagi and it was delicious. The miso was tasty too.We just had water. It was good: not infused with fruits or melons, not soapy. Just good iced water. (I’m not generally a fan of water so I like to comment on it.)Prices seemed a little bit high, but portions were generous and we had leftovers.The restaurant was clean, food came out quick, and the server was attentive.

Phenomenal service, phenomenal food. You really get your bang for your buck. My favorite appetizer was the Black Rose, the sauce and texture were so yummy, perfectly savory and crispy. Our server has the sweetest, kindest soul. My boyfriend's entree had miso included, mine didn't, so she gave me miso soup on the house. She also gave us two rolls extra on the house. My boyfriend's only complaint was the selection isn't as big as most other sushi places. Overall loved the experience, the food just kept coming, and we left with our bellies full and happy hearts.

The food was delicious, the service was good, and the portions were generous. I absolutely loved it.
