Food: Delicious dishes brutally missing

Sagami can hardly be dubbed a gastronomic experience, with bland, mediocre meals that leave your taste buds wishing for more. An exhaustive and confusing menu does nothing to help the dining debacle, and when the portions arrive, it feels as though Sagami is more interested in pranking their customers with the size of their meals than delighting them.

  • Very Creative

    Unique, authentic Japanese dishes not found at other restaurants.

  • Okay Value

    Many find pricing fair and acceptable, though opinions on value vary.

  • Bad Taste

    Meals are bland, undercooked, lacking taste, and disappointingly mediocre.

    Salmon Sashimi

    Salmon is buttery, melts in your mouth, and always fresh.

Vibe: Charming chaos with limited comfort

The ambiance treads a fine margin between cozy and crowded. However, the excessive loud club music was more disruptive than immersive. With overpriced drinks failing to score points for the restaurant, the ambiance veered more towards a frustrating experience than a charming one.

  • Great Buzz

    Full of customers, always busy, sign of good food and popularity.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Small, cozy setting yields both charm and overcrowded discomfort

  • Bad Drinks

    Drinks overpriced, diminishing value of dining experience, per some reviews.

Perks: Convenience - a forgotten concept

Last-minute reservations are a cruel joke at Sagami, where long wait times seem to be the norm. Adding to the discomfort is the small, cramped outdoor area that barely passes for seating. Making matters worse, the restaurant makes you contend with inconsistent and often slow service, proving patience must indeed be a virtue.

  • Easy To Hear

    Quiet atmosphere conducive to conversation and comfort.

  • Bad Service

    Service inconsistent, slow, often unorganized, causing frustration to customers.
