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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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?
This was my first time being here. A couple friends brought me and it was a really cool experience. I got the chicken dinner which came with soup and a salad. It all tasted fantastic. Our cook was cool, friendly and fun and was able to entertain all the guests he was assigned too. I had a great time and I'm already planning on coming back with some of my other friends to show them how cool the place is. Thank you!
The lady at the cash register is disrespectful
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
The waitress was kind of rude.
Overall excellent
Nine of us enjoyed a fun birthday at the hibachi table. Chef was great. Staff friendly. Food delicious.
Good food. Good prices. Unique atmosphere.

This place is an absolute gem!! 5 stars!!
I've eaten in & gotten take out here and every single dish I have eaten from soup to hot entrees to sushi is consistently excellent and flat out delicious!! The service is also exceptional :) I highly recommend.
We usually always celebrate a Birthday 🎂 here. Love it. Always fun!!!

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!
My favorite sushi 🍣 restaurant .
This place was very quiet but the food is wonderful And affordable

Been here plenty of times...great food..
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.
Amazing amount of food at the tables.
So yummy...🤤
This is my local Hibachi restaurant and the chefs do a fun show be ready to drink sake.
Great food and service!

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!
Servers are always alert and nice. Food comes out fast and its delicious
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
One customer was back cuz they gave him wrong takeout… another was upset cuz they told him a time for pickup and it was going to be 10 minutes more.
Nice people,clean place food was good
The food is flavorless. They are cheerful!, warm and inviting.
I have been here many times. The food and service are always amazing.
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!
Our cook was amazing, the staff was super sweet. It was a great night thanks for having us!!
It would get ZERO stars if I could. The worst takeout experience ever. My advice is to try elsewhere
This place always delivers! From the apps, to the sushi bar and then to the hibachi! Food is always great and fun is always had !
Black peppered tuna app, filet and lobster hibachi !
Everything is always great here from drinks to food and customer service
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.
Went specifically for the hibachi, was not disappointed. Very tasty food, though obviously lots and lots of butter. Very accommodating with allergies.
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.
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 favorite restaurant! Always clean and fresh. Everyone trust you great. If you haven’t try them what are you waiting for? GO!
Everything was fantastic except the girl that joined me for lunch.
It's such a fun time! It's become a birthday tradition to have a huge group go.
Jfc delivery
I've never been here. I don't know why Google thinks I have.
Good food and great service.
My new favorite- the food absolutely amazing , the prices are fair - the staff are friendly and fun
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.

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.
Always delicious
New Years Eve dinner, great fun !!
( and food !)
Great atmosphere, love the food.
Came for my daughter's birthday. The service was superb. The food was very good. The chicken, shrimp, rice, and noodles were delicious. We had a very enjoyable hibachi experience. Definitely recommend dining here.
Great food Great service, i enjoy being a regular customer
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.
Went in today for lunch and enjoyed an amazing lunch for the two of us. So yummy.
My daughter and I enjoy going here. The food is always very good and the wait staff are very friendly.
Stay was so nice & accommodating.
Where is peter!?.
He was the reason why I always came here. The food is good regardless, but Peter's energy and enthusiasm made it so much better and fun. Bring Peter back!!!
My favorite places to order sushi from! Everything is fresh and the prices are very reasonable. They have delicious hibachi options, their tempura is perfectly crispy and they do the best sweet potato roll in the capital District!
Never heard of this place!!!! STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT PLACES THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN TO YET!!!!!
Normally eating here is one of my top picks but last couple time waitress looks over tired, and miserable. The food has no flavor. Hope it was just a bad day.
Love this place. Love the yummy food and watching the hibachi show!
The food is awesome, we will totally go back! One of the waitresses gave us a shot of tangerine sake that was amazing
Great place for take and forget to use Mealeo for your food delivery
Food was delicious!
Mid. Staff not friendly.
Our go to Restaurant for special celebrations
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.
Wonderful experience, great atmosphere. Loved the food and the service at this location
The hibachi and sushi are tasty and well-prepared. Reliable Japanese cuisine for the Schenectady area.
Excellent!!
Good food, didn't do the hibachi show but had a sit down dinner. Solid choice for that.
Good Chinese food spot. Atmosphere is great.
it was good and entertaining. filet mignon hibachi was delicious
Great sushi. Love this place
Very nice place to eat
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..
We celebrated my husband's birthday...what a wonderful time we had!!!
Incredible talent
Love this place great food and service, 💓💓💓
Food and service is great
Pete's the best! Hibachi all the way!
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!
Celebrated a friend's birthday here. The service was exceptional for both the servers and the chefs. Food and drink was fantastic. The chef's performance and interaction with us was outstanding. Would 100% go again!
1st time there. We met some friends there and had a great time. I'm planning on going back
Large staff they are very friendly and take care of all your needs. The food was awesome, couldn't eat everything, eating the rest today.the price was so reasonable. I can't say enough of what a great experience it was.
Sushi here is really good and cheaper than some places!!
I always have a great time here food is great and always cooked just the way you want it!
Take out. The food is amazing! Best sushi in area!
They do great everytime
Such a great time! The chef had us laughing and enjoying life the entire meal. The food was great too
Great food
It was awesome!! Great Food Great Service!!
Parking was easy to find for the 6pm reservation for 7. I enjoyed being seated at the Hibachi table with my companions. We ordered a large variety of food. It was all served hot. My hibachi chicken dinner was tasty and fun to watch being cooked.
