The lady at the cash register is disrespectful

Diner Review №4

I arrived midweek, dining solo. I found ample parking, and I was seated immediately upon my arrival.

My server was attentive and knowledgeable. Dining alone, I wasn't much of a challenge for her. However, I observed her interactions with a larger, more demanding party, including children, seated nearby. She was courteous and patient with this party as well.

The edemami and nabeyaki udon were excellent. I was delighted that both were served piping hot, which is a pet peeve. I'm not a fast eater. Food served lukewarm often gets cold before I am even halfway finished. This wasn't the case at Sake Bon II.

Always better when you dine in, need ranch, Italian or another salad dressing

Some of the best hibachi I've ever had. Our chef was fantastic and funny, our server was pleasant and attentive. And every item of food was cooked perfectly. And it didn't break the bank either! Highly recommend coming here!

We usually always celebrate a Birthday 🎂 here. Love it. Always fun!!!

Diner Review №22

Although I rated food service and atmospheres of five and my overall rating was a four I feel I need to explain. I just thought that the hibachi "show"was a little slow. But that being my only complaint I feel really blessed. And what really mattered was the fact that we were there celebrating my brother's birthday, and he was very pleased!

Diner Review №24

The food was very good. The atmosphere excellent and the attentiveness of the staff was top notch. Will definitely return.

Diner Review №25

Sashimi is fresh. Spicy tuna roll is great. Lunch specials all have price lower than competing restaurants, reasonable portion, good quality. Meal preparation is super fast. We don't like beef scallion roll appetizer. Will come back and try other entrees next time.

Update 7-22-2023: 2nd lunch visit. Ordered Thai crab cake, sushi sashimi lunch, lunch rolls with 3 choices, American dream roll. Happy with the taste, service, vibe, price.

Update 10-5-2024: great dinner. Everything remains high quality and delicious. Very satisfied with sashimi, American dream roll, tiger roll, Thai seafood.

Diner Review №26

We had a good night at Sake Bon. The food was very good, we ordered shrimp pad thai, thai shrimp fried, and crab rangoon. These were probably the best crab rangoons I've had in a while. service was fast, and the place was very clean. We were checked on and got water refills often. We would be happy to come back.

Diner Review №28

Wow! This is one of the best sushi restaurants in the area. Had the sushi for two. Excellent service, sushi was exceptional, very fresh. Salad and meso soup were great. Will definitely be back!

This is THE place in Rotterdam for sushi! I’ve gone to a few other restaurants for sushi in the area, but this by far takes title of the best.

Service is always fast and top notch. For a regular dine in experience for 3, probably there for about 40 minutes. I have only ever done regular dining here, so I cannot comment on the hibachi.

Ordered an appetizer and 3 sushi rolls for about $25 per person. Prices are going rate compared to other local places. Not competitively low, but much worth it.

Overall recommend coming to this place for sushi. I’ve only ever ordered that here, but why both with anything else. Menu is easy to read and understand so no mistake on what exactly you’re getting. Very appropriate sizing for the prices.

The place is very nice looking. When I was there it was extremely busy. However, I did not go there to eat in. I went there for a pickup for a large order for a birthday party. All the food was fantastic.

I got the Stir-Fried Pad Thai with chicken. It was really good but it had ground peanut throughout it and I don’t like no nuts. But it was pretty good. I wanted to try something different.

Our office gets take-out from Sake Bon occasionally and I decided to try the Crispy Duck Salad - so good! Fresh greens, peppers, red onion, cashews and pieces of crispy duck with a sweet dressing. Yum! Came with a side salad and miso soup. Highly recommend.

Great food and service!

Diner Review №58

This is one of the restaurants that makes me question weather google reviews can be from bots. Absolutely worst Japanese food I ever ate. Had the combination steak and shrimp with fried rice, all taste so horrible. Why does the fried rice have no flavor? Medium rare steak is super chewy and is over cooked?

Diner Review №59

I was looking for a decent japanese restaurant in Schenectady. Well, people,I found it !! The service was great, and the sushi was pretty good. Definitely give this place a try!! Price is not bad either!

Diner Review №60

Servers are always alert and nice. Food comes out fast and its delicious

Diner Review №61

Staff were friendly, helpful, and introduced us well to the menu. Food was pretty good. Not the best sushi I ever had but the treasure island was amazing, and will probably be a new favorite. Soup and salad were perfect. This is an amazing date night spot. Midrange on prices

I have been here many times. The food and service are always amazing.

Diner Review №68

We had a blast at the hibachi with my 4 sisters. It was not only fun, the food was beyond delicious and of high quality. The service was superb. It was comfortable to sit at the hibachi even with a disability. Plenty of free parking. Handicapped accessible. I can't wait to go again!

Ordered spicy crunch crab roll off of their website.Nowhere on their website does it say 6 pieces in each role the picture shows 12 pieces. Take a look for yourself. False advertising in my opinion. We called.
To rectify the problem, the owner stated. It's another website problem way to take accountability.

Diner Review №83

Went specifically for the hibachi, was not disappointed. Very tasty food, though obviously lots and lots of butter. Very accommodating with allergies.

Diner Review №84

Enjoyed my niece’s birthday celebration here last night with lots of family and a couple friends. 19 people total and they did a great job accommodating all of us.

Diner Review №85

I love this Place! The Chief who cooks your Food is very funny 🤣 The Staff is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this Place if you want to do Hibachi or just for regular meals.

My new favorite- the food absolutely amazing , the prices are fair - the staff are friendly and fun

Diner Review №97

Compared to other local restaurants, Sake Bon has the freshes ingredients. They even remember who you are. I'm totally satisfied with the service and the food made to order.

Diner Review №98

The hibachi restaurant served delicious food that satisfied our cravings. Unfortunately, the experience was slightly marred by the noticeable rudeness of a specific waitress towards other tables. However, the overall atmosphere was clean and relaxed, allowing us to enjoy our meal despite the minor inconvenience.

Diner Review №99

I got food poisoning immediately after eating here I have never been in this much pain in my entire life I’m barely moving after almost 2 days. It’s not sanitary or they have people who are going to work sick. I was projectile vomiting for for 6 hours after and it’s almost 2 days later I still feel awful. Really upset this was literally traumatizing.

Great food Great service, i enjoy being a regular customer

Diner Review №114

i’ve eaten in once and had a good experience. order take out from here regularly. the lunch 3 rolls for $14 is my go to. they have the freshest ingredients and the food is always prepared as requested. was with someone that didn’t want vegetables with their hibachi and the person that took the order on the phone offered extra rice instead which i thought was really good customer service because a lot of places don’t sub anything when we make that request. highly recommend.

Diner Review №115

Our go to Restaurant for special celebrations

Diner Review №141

I like sushi a lot and I like trying new sushi restaurants.. I ordered the dancing eel roll, 1 order of tuna sushi, and 1 order of eel sushi. For me, the eel was a bit off, with a slimey texture. I have come across the eel issue at some restaurants before. It's a textural issue, not that the sushi is spoiled at all. Cute restaurant with Habachi grills.

Diner Review №167

This is nice local Hibachi, the only reason I ranked the atmosphere as I did is because it feels a little cramped. I realize Hibachi style you sit close to others if your party isn't big enough to occupy the whole grill. But you really kinda feel close even to the other Hibachi grills. Food and service were great though..

The food here is usually top notch. You will find yourself feigning for it over and again. Once in a while there may be a busy night where the takeout isn't as great as usual but SakeBon is still one of the best around.

Oh ya!
