Sakekawa Japanese Sushi Steak House

They added automatic gratuity to our table of 5 without telling us. For a hibachi table, all they had to do was take our order and keep the drinks flowing and they didn't manage that. Tipped the chef though as the food was prepared beautifully.

Sakekawa on Research Forest Lauren from sushi bar served us, best waitress we’ve had. She served in a very timely manner and was very welcoming. Deserving 5 stars in all areas. Thank you.

The food was absolutely delicious, definitely need to come here again sometime.

The service was spectacular and the food was great!

Our decision to try Sakekawa stemmed from a recommendation on the I Love Conroe Facebook group, sparking our curiosity. However, our experience was a little lack-luster. While the hibachi dishes left much to be desired – with fishy-tasting soup, mediocre fried rice, and average steak – the sushi, particularly the fish 's size and quality, earned high praise from my husband, a Tokyo native. Yet, inconsistencies in rice texture across rolls and the unappetizing presentation of rice spilling from the sides marred the sushi experience. The restaurant 's ambiance was undeniably beautiful, but the unsightly vents on the ceiling detracted from its overall appeal. Moreover, our encounter with the manager, Kristie, soured the experience further. Despite making a reservation, navigating the nuances of hibachi dining on OpenTable proved challenging, leading to an unpleasant interaction with Kristie upon arrival. Her demeanor lacked hospitality, and her approach to handling reservations felt unwelcoming and unnecessary. Despite these setbacks, the allure of high-quality sushi draws us back, albeit to the alternative location to bypass any potential encounters with Kristie. Sakekawa may have its flaws, but for sushi aficionados seeking top-notch fish, it remains a contender in The Woodlands sushi dining scene.
