Reviews for Chakara Sushi & Bar in Fairport, NY
Enjoyed my reservation with my family at Chakara. Gluten free friendly, fresh ingredients, and knowledgeable staff. My boyfriend... and I got their sushi for two platter, pictured below. Read more
Andy (the owner) is particular about the food and service at Chakara. I have often been to Chakara for take-out and dine-in, and... I have never had a bad cocktail or food. My favorite cocktail is a dirty martini. My mother loves the sautéed noodles, and Ilove all the menu items. They recently had a shipment of Uni (Sea Urchin), which was amazing. I hope the restaurant getsanother shipment soon! I have posted this pictures of the uni and other sushi dishes I have had. My photos do not do the foodjustice! Read more
My wife said it was the worst food she has ever had from a restaurant and I agree. We had takeout and paid full menu prices... with a mandatory 15% gratuity. We both got Pad Thai, a dish I've had dozens of times at dozens of restaurants, and it was justsad. Dry, bright orange noodles with some flavorless chicken bits in mine and tofu for my wife. She said the tofu tasted andfelt like a piece of sponge. I didn't believe her, so I tried it, and yeah it was that bad. Enough sauce to adequately flavorthe noodles would have been a good start. I'm shocked when looking at all the reviews of diners who sat in the restaurant andI'm wondering if they would have served such poor food to me in person. Honestly, I would have sent it back, which is somethingI've never done. Reading the "about" tab on their website, I don't feel the ..."passion to create outstanding food..." was wellrepresented in what they gave me. "Each dish is distinctive and handcrafted my master chefs..." is also really hard to believe. If the alleged master chef ever reads this, I would challenge them to serve the takeout version of their Pad Thai to anotherchef and see if they're still taken seriously. Read more
Thanks to the other reviewers for rating this place so highly because it got us to try it out and the reviews are true - some of... the best sushi around. They have a ton of appetizers, which are great to share with your group. Their soups are outstanding.They have a sake flight which is unique and tasty. For non-drinkers, they have a ton of hot teas to choose from. All of thesushi I’ve had there so far on my four trips had been incredible. Beautifully presented, and the sashimi and the cooked sushirolls are all fantastic. Their menu is massive, so it gives me plenty of opportunities to try out more of their delicious food! Read more
Honey chicken with pineapple...toooooo much sauce, could barely find the chicken with all the onions, not bad but would not... order again. The tempura roll was very good Read more
Went here for date night with the wife and tried this place on a whim and we were blown away with the whole experience. From the... moment we walked in, we were greeted with a very outgoing staff and hostess. Had the pink lady sushi roll as an appetizer andIMO was the best sushi roll of my life! Had some delicious cocktails (cucumber breeze is amazing), I ordered the Japan entreewith fried rice. It was so much food I had to bring some home and save room for the fried ice cream! Overall this place has anamazing atmosphere and the food is great. Going back very soon Read more
The best sushi I've ever had! The spicy crab salad was AMAZING! It was my first time there and won't be my last. I got the... dragon roll, passion roll and I believe the firecracker but I might be wrong. 2 of the 3 tolls were raw fish which I'm not ahuge raw sushi person but this was incredible, so fresh. Amazing flavor, you got big rolls and the presentation was so pretty!The customer service was outstanding! I will 100% be going back for more! If you're looking for a reccomendation roll,definitely the passion roll! Read more
The food is good, the owner is great. Not sure it is worth the $80 for the boat though, maybe more like $60? The places in the... city that are just as good don't charge as much. The portions seem small! The sake, however, was lovely. They have severalkinds--a lot of variety--and have flights available. The fried ice cream was okay! A little undercooked, but good. Overall Iwould say the decor and the owner's passion for his business will bring us back. ETA: fish is imported from Japan? Owner canprobably tell you all about it. He really is a treat. #1 counterfeited item in the world is seafood, and this was not that. Read more
