Sake Bar 601

Great place to grab a bite, has great vibe and friendly staff. Food reasonablly priced

It’s a very good restaurant. As soon as you walk in you can smell the delicious food. I loved their food. Will visit gain

Although the food selection is not a huge list, every Diners could expect high level of freshness on each dishes they are serving. Food prepared by professional Japanese chef 'Itamae'. A clean restaurant throughout, friendly host.

All I can say is how is this place not in the metro top 50?
Their 19$ lunch box is at the standard you will see at restaurants like Masu which is at a whole different price point.
We came with a group of 6 and booked beforehand, they reserved the table and wrote the name it was booked under on a tiny hand folded paper crane, it was so sweet.
We each opted for different options on the lunch menu and we also tried the specials they had the day. Everything was, WOW. There was nothing I tried that wasn’t at least a 4.5/5. Special mentions to the karaage chicken, miso soft shell crab(the special), and the miso soup(it’s so damn good). Also their dessert was a panna cotta with feijoa sauce, that is not an easy dessert to execute but their flavours were perfectly balanced.
The presentation is like the type you get a industry zen, super intricate. The waitress was lovely, she confirmed our orders and was very patient. The food also came out really fast and at the same time.
This restaurant deserves so much more attention.

Great Japanese restaurant in Morningside. Delicious food and open Saturdays for lunch.
