Red Sake Asian Fusion

Ive been there several times. Sushi is always good, but Im not enough of an expert to compare to other places. However — I love the cucumber salad. Dined out on the patio last summer and waitress was very nice. we were in no hurry, sipping beers and enjoying the weather. She made several trips back out to check on us and was in no way rushing us out. Most recent visit on Christmas eve, we had another pleasant waitress and no rushing. Very relaxing atmosphere. I had the cucumber salad again, yes it was great.

Red Sake has great service and incredible food. The food always comes out super fast and all of our waitresses have been very nice. I love the vegetable dinner, miso soup, salad with ginger dressing, and the mango tango roll. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing. I love coming here because it’s so convenient and it has a nice atmosphere too.

Visited Red Sake last night with great friends that just happen to dine at Red Sake 2−3x/week. We were visiting from Texas but always love to discover locally-​owned sushi restaurants. Red Sake did not disappoint. Fresh and unique alternatives, along with the staple offerings we love. We enjoyed the Boilermaker Roll, Alaskan Roll, Crunch Roll, and one that knocked my socks off — the Mango Tango. You gotta try this vegetarian delight — mango with avocado, asparagus, cucumber and, get this, cilantro that made the dish amazing. The mango sauce poured on top is absolutely delicious. Our friends also asked for their spicy aioli sauce that seemed to go with just about everything. It was especially good with the Boilermaker Roll.
Tom, the owner, is very friendly and accommodating. Cozy bar atmosphere with a nice dining room. They take reservations, which you’ll likely need on weekends and sometimes even weekday nights. You’ll love it.

I was super excited for this place, which is close enough to be my new take-​out-​sushi place. But alas, it was not to be. I ordered the Sushi Deluxe and the guy on the phone was super confused. I had to read the menu description several times before he remembered what it was. The rice on my two not-​fried rolls was mushy and weird and the Philadelphia Roll, my barometer of how good a sushi place is, was bland and not tasty. I only ate a couple of the rolls and had no interst in finishing it. 317 roll was actually not bad, but the sushi from said sushi deluxe tasted… off… That’s not how you want your sushi to taste. I only had a couple pieces (thought maybe the first fish was off, but no, two tasting funny means no more sushi for me). I threw away 75% of what I bought and made myself a PB&J instead. It’s the next morning and I’m not sick so, I’ll give them two stars.
They have Phở so this winter I’ll give their non-​sushi offerings another go.

After reading good reviews here and hearing good things from a friend of my wife I thought we should give Red Sake try.
We ordered a couple of apps and rolls.
The menu items seemed interesting and promising but sadly the flavors were bland and the most fundamental part of rolls, the rice of all things, was just mushy.
The lettuce wraps with little chicken pellets were bland and combined at least half puffy rice type noodles and no sauces to go with wraps.
With out a doubt, the worst sushi establishment I’ve ever been to.

Our experience at Red Saki was less than desirable. Kennedy was our server and although she was very kind, she forgot silverware and sake cups. We ordered the fruit sake flight and was impressed with the raspberry and apple flavors but felt the price was expensive at $ 12 for 3 two ounce cups. For food we ordered the General Tso’s which was
! They batter the chicken lightly in tempura and the sauce was sweet and spicy. We also got the Shamrock roll which looked very cool in its bright green glory but tasted sour and the meat was room temperature not cool or warm as I expected. I expressed my distaste of the sushi entrée to our server after only eating 1 piece but she failed to remove it from our bill. Overall, I enjoyed the sake flavors but would not recommend the sushi and felt the overall cost far exceeded my experience. There is a Naked Chopstix on 96^th street just before I-​69, about 5 miles away, that is worlds better.

Really enjoyed the meal. Had Lemon drop and peach sake tibia. Very delicious. Ate the waterfall, 317 and nitro rolls. Very yummy. Edamame was fresh and so was the tuna and salmon nigiri. Will be back to try the Purdue, passion of the fire and crunch rolls! Lovely place in Geist. Service was great. Even have outdoor seating. We sat in the bar. Reasonable prices.

My buddy lives near Geist and we both love sushi. With that being said, I am very picky about where I go to eat it. We meet for lunch about once month at our norm, One World Market near castleton which I think is the best! We decided to try something nearby and consulted Unilocal.Red Sake Asian Fusion popped up only 2 minutes away. Wow, I’m impressed! Nice quaint little restaurant tucked away in a little strip mall… Lunch special! Take a look at the picture, this is what you get for around $ 60 at lunchtime… Simple sushi that is made fresh. Can’t beat it! They do have nigiri, sashimi, etc… Awesome! Now we don’t have to fight the traffic and hassle of the castleton area !!

First time here. Ordered take out sushi and fried rice. They don’t have a caterpillar roll on the menu but when I asked the waitress about it, they were more than accommodating and made an excellent caterpillar. Their fried rice isn’t like any other rice I’ve had (I eat rice A LOT) and I love it.
They have a Godzilla roll challenge that I need to try. Love spicy food. I know I could do it.
Finally found a great sushi place, close to home, affordable. Going back soon for sure!

Update: finally tried the pad thai and it is Excellent. Finally got hubby to try some sushi. He’s tried 2 crab rolls (317 and yum yum) and says he’ll definitely order both again. Last week he had the new Jalepeno roll and really enjoyed it too. I could see lots of seeds so I know it was plenty hot! I trust the cream cheese helped to balance it.

Definitely the best sushi in the area. Each roll is made to order and tastes very fresh. I had the Waterfall, Crunch, and the Nitro and loved them all.
If you like phở, the phở here is phenomenal. I also recommend the kimchi fried rice and the chicken teriyaki.
The service we had was great. Our waitress was nice and attentive and you could tell that she had experience. The restaurant also has a full bar with a great range of authentic sake as well.
Overall, I loved my experience and will definitely be coming back for more.

I was so pleasantly surprised as my mom and I walked to the entrance; the owner greeted us at the door and held it open for us to enter.
We were greeted soon after being sat in a very nicely decorated room by our waitress. The cocktail menu has great saketinis! We ordered the appetizer Jalapeño Surprise… it was delicious. The Passion of Fire roll was better then the play boy roll at Naked chop stix. The Palm Spring roll was just ok. but fresh. I like flavor and it just wasn’t very flavorful.
I don’t remember the names of the saketinis we had but one was like a lime pie! Over All I Will Be Back For more!

Love this place! Great selection of drinks and sushi… and both taste great. VIP roll is excellent as well as the Tsunami and Waterfall. Staff are friendly and helpful. They usually have several sushi specials, so there’s always something new to try.

Read about this place awhile ago and was excited to finally get to check it out! It was near empty at roughly 7pm on a Tuesday night. We were greeted upon arrival and quickly seated. We perused the drink menu and I opted for the Aroma Coma which was a saketini made with coconut sake. It was surprisingly tart, but I liked it. I also took a sip of my friend’s mango and I was glad I ordered what I got. My other friend ordered the lemongrass vodka drink and I thought that was good too! We started with the Cado Green which is tempura fried avocado on a bed of crab meat. It was so good! I could have eaten the whole plate by myself! I chose the crunch roll and mardi gras roll and my friends also ordered some rolls. They mostly came out on the same plate so the waitress let us know which was which and we dug in. I thought they were good, the mardi gras had some kick and I failed to ask what the two sauces were on it, so my guess was obviously one was spicy, just a heads up! The crunch roll was great, but I felt like they could have been a bit warmer, they were almost cold. No room for dessert, but they have a lot of roll choices and had some specials up on a chalkboard that we almost missed if one of my friends hadn’t noticed it and she ordered off of that once she read it. I would go back and try some other rolls!

Loved it. Amazing sushi. My girlfriend and I visited on a snowy Monday night. There was one other table when we arrived and we were the only people in the place when we left. Perfect conditions to see what they are made of.
Our server was a cute young, what I assume to be, high school student. She did just OK. I believe she was pre occupied with «closing tasks,» and it was possibly her first serving gig.
We ordered our usual 5 rolls and hot sake. We were forgotten for the sake but it came quickly after I asked.
When the sushi arrived it looked delicious but a bit small. However, once we dug in the taste immediately over shadowed any dismay. I can confidently say it was some of the best sushi I have had in Indiana. Waterfall roll and playboy roll were amazing. The presentation was also great. We will be back.

Has the potential for greatness but, yet for potential of failing quick. Don’t ask me why. It’s just a feeling. It’s definitely needed in the area.
The Sushi was some of the better sushi that we have found in Fishers. Having Phở on the menu is a plus as I am a fan of Phở. So as a Phở fan I ordered the Phở. Out of 10 places I have had Phở it falls in 9^th. It beats the failed phở that I tried to make back in 08.
I will have to go back a few times to see how they improve. I hope they make it. I don’t need to lose a sushi place that is 15 minutes from my house.

Gucci Mane was awesome! He was one of the greatest waiters ever. Go to the Red Sake and meet this stud… He rocks!!!

Nice place! glad to see it added to the neighborhood lovely waiter we have! Druccii_​mane:)

I think these folks are dealing with serious start-​up jitters. We had dinner here on Sunday ¹¹⁄₂₄ and it was OK but just OK. It looks like they are setting themselves up to focus on high end entrees but they need to convince their customers they can do the basics first. My miso soup was good. My cucumber vinaigrette salad was very good. My crab roll in cucumber wrap was not bad. My wife had shrimp pad Thai and the shrimp were over cooked. The noodles and the sauce were good but a bit too highly seasoned for my wife.
We will give them a few more weeks to overcome their startup pains before we give up on them.

I didn’t really have high expectations for Red Sake upon entering when we were the only couple there for Friday lunch. Interior is impressive, but I don’t let how nice an interior is dictate how good a meal will be. If you gave me a choice between a stand or a fancy restaurant, I’d choose the hole in the wall.
Menu looks generic and this fusion thing doesn’t work when you have Westernized Phở concoction and tempura udon. I understand fusion is the trend, but when you mix this and that, it’s supposed to pair well. While we looked at the menu, some offensive «not fresh fish» odor wafted nearby — a total sushi turnoff. We ordered hot food instead like tempura udon which came with a side salad. It was probably the blandest salad I’ve ever had… overly mayonnaised with no salt. Did the chef forget to put soy sauce in there?! Tempura broth was the same… no fragrance of dashi, just overly sweet and tasteless. The dipping broth for tempura tasted peculiarly odd like they put a hint of Worchestershire sauce to make it their own.
I’m still particularly bummed that the lunch menu stated $ 11 for a tempura udon and we got charged $ 12? Either you need to update the prices on your menu or stop scratching out old prices. Beverage prices were quite extravagant, although they do serve Flat 12. I’ll take a venti at Starbucks for $ 5 rather than a $ 6 smoothie without alcohol. First time here, but we won’t be back.
