Relaxed atmosphere with some of my favorite sushi choices. A great place to wind down with some delicious fare.

I love sashimi so I ordered the whole platter of it with my boyfriend. Definitely worth the money. I tend to be a sushi snob. T_T This happens after trying out so many different sushi places all through out southern california. Then this game changer came out..... Baked salmon roll. This was delicious. Oh! And the way they brought this out?!?! You gotta order it. This was a treat.

The Good: The service at Sake House by Hikari is good. They are very accomodating and try to be helpful. I appreciate that in a restaurant. The portions are generous and the price is certainly reasonable. I really liked their house special sea food Miso soup. It was full of little nibbles from the sea. The Bad: There is a Japanese Sushi term called "IKI" which means freshness, liveliness, vitality. Unfortunately, Sake House, in general, does not have IKI. The fish is acceptable, and if it is all gussied up with sriracha, mayonnaise, tempura'ed, etc., then you may not notice the difference. However, when I ordered their Chirashi, which is a bunch of "virgin" sashimi on a bed of Sushi rice, I noticed that the raw fish lacked that IKI. The Ugly: There is a certain lack of finesse in the small points that make for fine dining. The sushi rice was dry and hard to the point of making the texture very chewy. Sushi rice should be softer & moister with a slight al dente feel. Also, the frying oil was getting over used or was slightly old so that anything fried in it acquired a slight mustiness. This use of old oil in frying the dessert, Tempura ice cream, imparted a meaty, fishy taste into the dough surrounding the ice cream. They should fry their desserts in a separate fryer to avoid malodorous food contamination. Back to the good: They have an OK sake & beer list. The Onigoroshi Daiginjo Sake is dry, astringent with slight chalky minerality and a subtle acidity that was a good palate cleanser for the next different flavour of Sushi. The Ebisu, Orion, and Echigo beers are another exellent choice to pair with the food. The Sushi establishments that have IKI in the Westside are places like Sushi Sasabune, Echigo. Sushi Masu, Hirozen,Takao, Hamasaku, Hide, K-Zo, Mori Sushi. Bon Appetit!
