Chi Sushi Sake - St. Louis

Go here. This was my 3rd time and it is PHENOMENAL. Quaint yet very cool comfortable vibe. I’ve gone in my sweats every time. Most important the food is delicious. Creative. Slight twist with beautiful presentation. Whitney the chef and owner just knocks it out of the park. A sight little twist on every piece of nigiri. Attention to taste and presentation. Large pieces where the flavor just really comes through and worth the time to savor. Service is the best most genuine and attentive you’ll get. They want you to have an experience. Each piece and or dish is going to be a little experience in itself and if you appreciate food and the entire experience you’ll be smiling when you leave. Can’t say enough good things.. 10 out of 5 every time. Prices are good especially for what you get but I’ve splurged every time so my bill doesn’t reflect what yours would be this was a treat so I went all in and will again every chance I get. They know their customers. They’ll remember you, it’s personal and just a really wonderful experience and reprieve. What a treat.

We sat at the sushi bar and greeted kindly by the owner and chef. We had a multitude of rolls, including the 2 house special rolls, the hamachi garlic ponzu and triple s. The hamaci was our favorite, followed by the red bird roll (wife) and fujiyama (me). Quaint restaurant. We parked on the street and fed the meter, I had originally planned on parking in the Laclede garage 1/2 block away. Chef was very busy filling to-go orders when we arrived. Some rolls could a have been rolled tighter, but otherwise the food was fresh and delicious. I'm no sushi/fish guru, but the fish in the case looked like actual filets, not the rectangular blocks some restaurants have. They even had toro (but didn't order). They did not have mackerel on the menu (I didn't ask). Ashai was cold. Perfect start before heading to the Fox.

Service was phenomenal, waitress Ella.s was incredible and handled being short staff well.

My daughter introduced me to this spot and I've been hooked ever since. The food is delicious. The rolls are bigger than other sushi restaurants, the flavors are amazing, and the service is topnotch. Looking forward to my next visit.

I moved from Chicago and was nervous about the sushi scene here- but this is definitely the best place I have tried. I usually just get take out but the fish is super fresh and the rolls are creative and have variety! Plus salmon toro, what’s not to love.
