   Our first visit to Saucy, was a good one. We choose to go with the tasting menu (chef choice) with the saki pairing. This ended up being a fair amount of food (we took home some of it). Started with the hamachi spoons then had the popcorn shrimp (yum). The corn dog was nicely spiced and went well with the homemade mustard. The garlic noodles with crab filled in the cracks and made it near impossible to eat the next course which was the entree. The miso glazed sea-bass with crispy broccoli and beef with mashed potatoes. All said, it was an incredible meal… Jeannie, one of the owners stoped by our table before our sixth course and we had a chance to hear about that move from Temiscal. The resturant has only been open in three new location for about two months but with food and service like what we experienced, they will have no problem attracting new regulars in the new local. The final course - bred-pudding and cheese cake. Can’t wait to go back and try the ribs…

   We had the tasting menu and it was spectacular! The dishes were all top notch and unlike most tasting menus, generous. We left full! Service was on point and the amazing mural on the wall was great for pictures.

   We came here for a birthday dinner, and we were pretty much blown away. We ordered the chef tasting menu, $75 each, and each course was presented beautifully and delicious. When we got the first course, we were a little worried that the portions would be too small. But by the time we got to the last course, we were so full but that worry melted away. I've had meals with several courses before, but never before was each course perfectly presented, perfectly heated and incredible tasting. We spoke with the chef, who was so humble and basically said that he uses a thermometer for everything, which explains why everything was perfectly cooked. We will definitely become regulars at this restaurant.

   Could not recommend the tasting menu enough. We did have a lull as we moved into the last three courses, which made them feel a little rushed since they were nearing closing time. I would recommend dining before 7 with the tasting menu so you might have a little more time to digest as you move into the entree course and dessert. The staff was great and the food was all around amazing!!!

    Great new addition to the Oakland food scene. Enjoyed the prefix "Experiences" menu. All 6 courses were delicious with the sea bass in miso sauce being the star of the show. Accompanied by an awesome sake selection! Great experience. Highly recommended!

    This place is incredible! The food is so special and the staff is amazing. We had the strawberry guava sake spritzer, edamame, yuzu fries, thai corn dogs, popcorn shrimp, short ribs, bread pudding, and basque cheesecake. Everything we ate was outstanding and I would 100% order again. The place is super cute and the staff is attentive and kind. Can't recommend enough!

    This place is great. The back chef + front of house staff are awesome. If you are looking for a place for a date night or for a small group, this place is great. Amazing food: - Hamachi shooters - Saucy wings - Popcorn Shrimp - and their vegetables. I will definitely go again!

    It seems that the prices have gone up recently and I thought a number of dishes were not good value, such as cup (not even a bowl!) of asparagus soup for $9, grilled veggies for $10 and single hamachi shooter for $4. The food was okay, nothing was bad, but only bao and cheesecake were outstanding. With tip and limited alcohol (one carafe of house sake and bottle of beer), total was over $180 which I thought was too much. Attentive service but was bit cold with just a sweater -- I felt I needed to wear my down jacket to be comfortable. I was recommending this to my friends after my first visit last month, but will probably not recommend to others.

    Saucy OaklandResponded on January 25, 2022Hi Joyce, Thank you for joining us for happy hour and taking the time to share you experience here on OpenTable. We're glad you were able to take advantage of the happy hour and regular menu, enjoying 11 dishes/3 alcoholic beverages/1 non-alcoholic. But sorry the asparagus soup was not of value to you - we'll take your feedback into consideration. We work hard to provide quality dishes and service. We're also working hard to bounce back from closing during the pandemic. Cheers from our team!

    Not as great for a fancy occasion as I had anticipated… the decoration has a kind of “Home Goods” feeling… but the food is great. I like the concept and imagine they could stand to take themselves even more seriously

    Saucy OaklandResponded on January 25, 2022Hi Harry, thanks for joining us for dinner and taking the time to leave us a review, we hope you enjoyed the food and service. We don't consider ourselves fine-dining but we cannot agree more - if we had the money to buy better furniture and decor, we would! We're 2 normal people who have a passion for the industry and invested our life savings. Most of our $ these days goes towards food inventory and paying our employees. We hope you'll continue to support our journey as we grow! Cheers!

    Highly recommend the 6-course, prix fixe, chef's tasting menu with sake pairing. The raw shooter, chicken coconut curry soup, and desserts were our favorite! Service was fun, casual yet thorough and professional. The space was smaller than I expected but the decor was warm and cozy. We were pleasantly surprised by this gem.

    What a treasure. Food was outstanding with friendly service. Everything we ate was delicious. Their version of a corn dog was to die for. Popcorn shrimp and short ribs were equally amazing. We aren’t huge sake people but if you are, you will find a large and varied selection as well as sake cocktails. Great value for the money and a cozy spot. We will be back!

    Absolutely wonderful. This is Japanese inspired w an American twist. Incredibly fresh. Delicious flavor combinations. Excellent breadth of selections from fish to chicken to pork belly to vegetarian. Execution. Roast chicken skin was perfectly crisp. Creative. Accessible curries. Unparalleled corn dogs with subtle chilies. Service was personal and spot on. Recommended a warm sake to start us off. We celebrated my wife’s birthday and the chef comped us two delectable deserts - a fluffy bread pudding with ice cream and fresh fruit replete with a candle and a flourless chocolate cake. This is a cozy gem that is not you average neighborhood haunt. Please support them.

    Very small space, so we sat outside at the sidewalk table. The server was a lovely young woman who described dishes beautifully. The hamachi shooters were delicious and we had a reorder of them (3 for $15)! One of us had a beef appetizer but they ran out of the meat so she had a half-order, another of us had a chicken curry which was excellent. The third person had the short rib and it was good but a tiny bit disappointing in terms of the level of sweetness. For dessert, a lovely bread pudding and a flourless chocolate cake. All in all, it was fine and we will definitely return at happy hour for a drink and those yummy hamachi shooters (ponzu and crispy fried garlic....so good).
