My favorite spot for tasty Sushi. Got there near six, it wasnt packed at all. I had a brother come into town and he asked me to go back here. The bill was decent for the quality.

I always have a good time when I go to shakai lounge, it was my first time going to their happy hour and they did not disappoint. They had $5 apps and $5 rolls ! And the food was amazing they also offered happy hour drinks which was good too I recommend lychee martini, and when we got there it wasnt too packed so we didnt need to wait which was nicee ! Deff check it out if your looking for a good place to eat drink before hitting up the bars !

Another 5 STAR Hidden Gem!!! Beautifully decorated sexy place...great food and good prices...my FAV is the Chicken Katsu: Panko crusted flattened chicken with their special katsu sauce over veggies...fresh sushi rolls, bar area with standing tables to chill or sitting areas in large dining rooms..this is must try if you are a downtown food fan!!!

Pretty good happy hour. Service is hit or miss. The servers can be rude and vibe is sometimes tense or attitudinal.

Everything was overcooked, the duck was way too salty and they claimed stuff was gluten free and it WAS NOT! I am now at home, sick, instead of out with my friends. Completely unreasonable that a restaurant today cannot manage gluten free, especially when they claim to have gluten free soy sauce. If I hadnt had my Gluten Cutter I wouldve been throwing up on the side of 408.

They have wide selection oflo good food. I generally order the shrimp tempura. But on occasion I ask them to surprise me from the sushi bar and its been great. Its a chance to try something new and exotic. Others have many other things and they have all liked and or loved it. All in all you cant go wrong.

Great sushi, atmosphere and service. Looks discrete from the outside but very nice inside with great bar and plenty of large tables. The only complaint was the edamame was not the best, but the sushi more than made up for it. Server was super helpful even though it was late.

Went at night for the club scene. Cover was $20 (place next door was free and had drink specials), the outside was extremely unorganized and all over the place and the music system was wonky (speakers would go in ant out randomly). The scene was good tho as were the bartenders and djs.

By far my favorite place for Sushi. I always feel fancy here yet very cozy at the same time. I Love LOVE the ambiance and beautiful decor here. Great place for a date. ;) If I may, I would suggest sitting on the same side of the table if on a date, not across..try it ;) it’s amazing!Oh, and be sure to wear your glasses, it’s very dim in there. This adds to the romantic appeal, in my opinion.Aside from the ambiance, sushi lovers will never be disappointed when dining here. I enjoy the dragon roll and spicy tuna roll but they have many favorites for everyone.And, of course fashion wise you can dress it up or, make it just a nice night on the town. However, this would be somewhere to wear your heels but take the height into consideration, most parking will not be close. You’ll be doing some walking.Enjoy!

The dishes came out super fast & tasted great (except for one bad set of sashimi) but the chef offered us a replacement. The price difference between Hh & regular is definitely noticeable, though.

Visited for the 3rd time in a year last night. The hospitality has improved so much. The host greeted us warmly and took us to a table quickly. Our server was efficient, however she did not rush us. I’m happy they have focused on improving their hospitality to match the already excellent food, drinks and decor.

This place was incredible! Sushi is top notch and the selection is outstanding! Went here for a lunch with colleagues and was not disappointed at all. The lunch menu was amazing and the vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant was top notch, will be coming back again! If youre in the mood for relatively fast and friendly service in a sushi place in town, this is the spot!

Shakai never disappoints. Their sushi is always fresh and tastes amazing. Their happy hour which runs until 7 is probably the best sushi happy hour downtown. Bottle beer specials, $5 sushi rolls (which are all amazing), and more. Highly recommended.

I love that they have numerous options for vegetarians in your party. I ordered the Basil Dish with brown rice and tofu. It was amazing, although I would like the tofu cooked crispier. I tried my friends chicken dish and it was crispy and yummy.

Food: they have an extensive happy hour for sushi and other entrees. All of their food is very delicious and filling. Their Coconut Sushi and Volcano Roll are by far the best I have ever tasted. I always look forward to eating at this place.Service: our server was very attentive and friendly. She was able to provide great recommendations on drinks. She also made sure we had a clean eating area and kept removing dirty plates when necessary.Drinks: they have one of the best apple crisp saki and their beer selection is decent.Environment: the restaurant setting is quiet and elegant and perfect for a date night. The tables are pretty evenly spread out and the lighting is perfect. They also have great decorations and music. They are very clean as well.Overall I would definitely recommend this place and their amazing food!

THEY STOLE / SKIMMED MY CREDIT CARD, made another card, and I was contacted the next day by my credit card company who told me someone tried to buy hundreds of dollars of groceries at the Winn Dixie in the Vietnamese part for Colonial Drive. BEWARE.

The only thing keeping this from 5 stars was the service, the waiter was extremely rude and kept forgetting a lot of what we ordered and had to be reminded several times. We all felt extremely rushed. The food was great and so fresh tasting. The service needs work.

Their happy hour specials cant be beat. Our favorite place for sushi in Orlando. Make sure you get the Mango Madness & the Rock n Roll. Service tends to be on the slower side, but they are almost always busy and the food is worth the wait!

Review №58

This place was quick and a very nice date night atmosphere! My boyfriend had 3 rolls of sushi, which I tried the Volcano Roll and fell in love! We also loved the crab appetizer, perfect amount to get started and was quick to come out. My LOBSTER and FILET Dinner took a little while but it was well worth it! The Lobster was incredible! The FILET I had cooked medium, I would probably go with something a little less cooked next time with how the grill cooks the outside very crisp! If you like charred meat then medium is perfect! The plum wine was delicious also!! And we had the tempura cheese cake for desert, it was good but will probably try something else next time.

Wondering where to go for Happy Hour? Go here!! From 5-7 they have specials on drinks, appetizers, and sushi. Im talking good/cheap deals. This is my absolute favorite place to go for Happy Hour and I enjoy it every single time. Not many people know about it but I love to spread the word on this place because it is worth it. Try it out!

Review №73

The happy hour specials are fantastic, we ordered multiple rolls all delicious and $5 or less. The teriyaki mushrooms were tasty, and they special made us an order with no sesame seeds for our friend who cant have them. Also the $5 sake carafe was pretty good and big enough for our party of 4. Our server was nice and brought us a giant wad of extra wasabi when we asked. Will definitely be back for more!

Definatelly not a Japanese sushi place. And most of the purist may take issue with the many creative rolls in their menu all of which are good if you are open to new experiences. Very interesting wood decoration, and lighting provides for an amazing atmosphere.

Its a great looking place! Great location and the decor is absolutely beautiful! The problem is in the service, it is slow. The biggest problem is in the quality of the food. The ingredients didnt taste as fresh as advertised and you can tell that the chicken and seafood is frozen garbage.
