This is by far my favorite place to get sushi. The food, atmosphere, and the staff are excellent. You can get quite a bit for your money as well. I love eating here my favorite place to sit is the back table so I can watch Allen (the sushi chef) prepare my dinner. The staff is always great they really seem to enjoy there jobs. They will always chat a bit with you and if your not sure about a menu item they know it inside and out. My favorite is either the Jeff roll or the New Kentucky Roll. The offer other cuisine as well. I recommend the Nikki Udon which is a giant bowl of soup, really good if you ask for Siriracha to put in gives it a spicy kick.
Review Source:The Sushi bar is combined with a brew pub - what a perfect marriage!
We ordered the flight - six beers for $5. Â They came in mini jelly jar glasses. Â The glasses had an odd taste like salty. Â I mentioned it to the bartender and she said she would address it.
We each ordered the IPA and shared a crunch roll ($8.95). Â It was beautifully prepared and served with wasabi and pickled ginger. Â We shared it and asked for some sauces. Â One was a spicy mayonnaise and the other was unagi, a sweet, dark syrup sauce.
It was so good we ordered a Jeff roll ($7.95) . Â The bill came to $33 plus tip.
The beer was a great chaser to the sushi. Â The bar is clean and stark with two big televisions. Â
There is a pub menu with typical pub sandwiches. Â I would absolutely return for the great sushi and beer.
What a wonderful surprise. We cruised Madison as we often do when we visit which is perhaps 2-3 times a year and stumbled on Sakka Blue and Sacre Bleu it's a great place with good sashimi and sushi as well as a great bento box and shrimp tempura. I am not an aficianado of Japanese food but I do know what i Like and I do like Sakka Blue!
The Nut Brown Ale that they brewed on site is exceptional.
I come from the Los Angeles area where every town has at least a couple sushi bars and no one is farther than an hour from the ocean and fresh seafood. So when we were in Madison and our hosts suggested sushi, I was very skeptical.
Okay, so maybe it wasn't up there with the best back home, but it was still very good.
The flavors need to be punched up a bit ( I generally find most foods bland anywhere near the midwest) but the crunchy Hoosier roll was a favorite and was huge with about 8 pieces. The spicy salmon roll was not spicy - at least not to me - Â and the veggie tempura batter was a tad too heavy. Good cold seaweed salad on shredded carrot.
Waiter was attentive and food came fast.
New restaurant to Madison in. located in the old trolly barn in downtown Madison. Loved this place! It's nice to finally have a sushi restaurant that doesn't require an hour drive. The only downfall to the restaurant that I noticed was the small seating area but that is easily over looked once you look at the quality atmosphere.
