Reviews for Red Sake Japanese Restaurant in Columbia, SC

We've enjoyed our experiences here. The food is made to order. The value is dependent on how much you eat. I was pleased with... the quality of MOST things we got. Read more

Red Sake is where Tao used to be, now it's rundown inside. We ordered Ala carte instead of the all you can eat option. Neither... myself or the wife ate more than half of our bento boxes. Terrible quality sushi rolls. Read more

Delicious food at a good price. We always enjoy our dining experiences here. I haven't had anything i didn't like. Highly... recommended! Read more

Went on a double date last night to try this place out since my bf and I love sushi. We LOVED it! They are an... all-you-can-eat-style restaurant which I think works really well for sushi, especially if you?re really hungry. I can?t rememberall the rolls we tried but they were all delicious either way! We tried each flavor of sake they offer (fuji apple, white peach,and lychee) which were all great. The lychee flavor was our favorite though. The majority of the menu is sushi but they alsohave sashimi, hibachi, noodles, and soups. The decor is sleek and elegant making it truly feel like a high-end restaurant butwithout the unreasonably high prices. Our server was nice and the service was quick. In addition to a circular bar in the middleof the dining area there is also a sushi bar customers can dine at along the back wall of the dining area. I definitely wouldn?tmind eating here again, and I might have to go back simply for the fried shumai alone because it was so amazing! Read more

Let me be clear, this was my first time ever eating sushi. I had a great experience. The waitress was nice and help me pick out... certain rolls that I would like or potentially like. I was there with a friend and she was an experienced sushi eater and shealso picked out certain roles that she liked. We did the sushi and hibachi buffet and it was totally worth the money. She livesin Colorado and she said that up there she would be at least paying $50 or more per person for a buffet like that. Theatmosphere was great I love the inside and the design. I got a couple of items but I do not remember all of the rolls that Igot. The seaweed salad was good, the Gyoza was amazing. I ordered four orders of that lol. I also got the hibachi chicken andshrimp with fried rice, that was great. It did not smell ?fishy? or anything, everything was fresh and flavorful. Overall I willgo back and eat there again.

YUMMY!!!! Finally found our go to place for sushi. We absolutely loved our experience here from the service, ambiance and fresh... made food. Kevin was so helpful, nice and attentive. All three of us did the all you can eat sushi and hibachi and we ate everylast bit. Can't beat the price for the quality of the food. Highly recommend and can't wait to return. Read more

Tried this place on a recommendation. Weekends are ?all you can eat?. Staff was friendly and quick. Food was just ok. The tiger... roll though, was definitely something I?d return for. Food: 3 stars, but overall value brings it to 4 stars. Read more

The staff leaves much to be desired. A number of them stand around staring out the window or huddle up by the bar to talk yet... infrequently visit their tables and are slow to collect the food orders. If you are looking to be in and out within a restrictedtimeframe, save your visit to the restaurant for another time. You will not be satisfied with service. For the price, theselections of sushi and hibachi were great. We thoroughly enjoyed both although, my steak was rather fatty and I was unable toeat several pieces. I was not charged extra for not eating it all (a rather ridiculous concept). I did not eat a second servingbecause I ordered appetizers, sushi, and hibachi and was rather full. The sushi was very fresh. I would try more options but Iam new to eating sushi and am not going to pay additional fees for leftovers. I did get a side of spicy mayo to enhance mypicks. Overall, the food was good enough to return. Read more
