Editorial Review for Zake – by Andrea Loera
In Short
A mix of couples and sushi devotees sit at the ample bar area at the front of the restaurant. In the main dining area, cozy booths reside alongside the rowdy hibachi section. Twinkling fiber-optic lights and throbbing dance music add to the modern lounge atmosphere. Popular appetizers include the zakeviche--snapper, tuna and salmon served seviche-style--and phyllo shrimp. Signature rolls like hot damn and the Soprano enliven the varied and authentic Japanese and sushi menu offerings.

They're better at their rolls and non-sushi foods, all of which were fantastic when we visited. The actual sushi was dry with dried-out rice, and looked like it had been prepared way ahead of time. The cooked hibachi chicken is fantastic, though; so are their soups and their (cooked) sushi rolls.
Pros: good cooked foods, nice ambiance
Cons: sushi was merely average

I have been Zake about 6 times, I love this place so much!!!!!!!! Their service and food is getting better then what I though. It is a place where you can get traditional sushi along with innovative and creative sushi dishes. Now, they have lunch award stamps for all lunch customers. If you have 6 stamps, you will get one free lunch special. It is sweet!!!!!!!!!!!! I will keep coming back to Zake not only for that but also my servers and managers are friendly and awesome!
Pros: Creative menu, the freshest ingredients, valueable prices, Great social spot, friendly
