    Sakekawa is open until 11:00 PM on Saturday night! They also serve their happy hour menu all day / night on the weekends, which just happens to make Sakekawa the PERFECT late night spot. The food is divine!

    Everything was great, but some group of high-school kids came in, they were very loud and very rude. The staff tried to deal with it as best they could
