Reviews for North American Sake Brewery & Restaurant in Charlottesville, VA

This is my favorite place to eat in Charlottesville. The staff is super friendly and they have great vegan options. Best ramen... I've had and definitely don't forget to try the inari! Read more

This place is amazing. They brew sake on the premises and they have a rice spa. The food was delicious. My son enjoyed a... few flights of sake. The art work in the building and outside of the area is absolutely amazing, the area looks progressiveand very upbeat. Read more

A solid 4 stars. The service was decent. Our hostess was really pleasant but seemed overwhelmed. Ironically, one of the reviews... here talks about issues with their reservation system and we had the same experience (5 months later). I made a reservation onOpenTable and came early. My friend and I ended up sitting and eating in the bar area and we had no complaints about sittingthere. We were told to order with the bartender who seemed displeased to be working and didn’t attend to us while we waited.Our original hostess ended up taking care of us. I got the poke bowl, sushi and mochi. All were great. Be advised: the poke bowlwas especially potent/fresh tasting. I tried the spicy mango jalapeño sake special they had and it was good. I am not much of asake drinker, and have probably only had it a couple times (years ago) so I didn’t know what to expect. It was good, butI’ll stick with my cocktails for my go to’s. The ambiance was nice. They had plenty of gluten free and vegan options(including the mochi). We went on a Friday evening and there was still plenty of parking. Overall, great! Read more

We had such a great experience and got a full tour of the brewery. I learned a lot about the process of making sake. My wife had... a hibachi chicken bowl which was very good. I had the tuna poke bowl which was God but it needed a little more flavoring. Waiterbrought me more sauce which made it perfect. Our waiter was very good and gave us lots of good ideas of things to do inCharlottesville and hiking. Read more

Gotta somehow let people know that food isn't served until 5! Walked quite a ways to this place only to find we couldn't get the... sushi we were craving. Sake is great though. Finding this place can be tricky. It's beneath ThreeNotchd Read more

Vegan options! Had veggie dumplings and veggie rice bowl and added their smoked tofu. Was fantastic. Rainy Friday dinner with... reasonable gathering. Service was really helpful and knowledgeable and the food was hot and quick. Really enjoyed this place.Big Baby Sake was wonderful too. Read more

Well this is our first and only Sake brewery that we've ever visited. If you really like Sake and/or the kitchen was open this... could have easily been a 5 star review. We tried a flight of 6, which was all flavors available. One interesting note is thatall the different styles we tasted start from the same rice base, but there are differences in how it's milled and fermentedthat make the different flavors. Anyway our favorite was a toss up between Olympus and Bad Baby. They also have plenty of goodindoor and outdoor seating. Shame the kitchen was not open as I've seen good reviews. Read more

Enjoyed the Sake flight! I would recommend checking it out, especially since they brew it themselves. Food was delicious as... well! Read more
