35
Score
Across the available record, Sushi Sake has 13 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. Sushi Sake was last inspected on Sep 10, 2025. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around seven violations to closer to nine violations.
Across the inspection history, “no conspicuously located ambient air temperature thermometer” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded five times.
By comparison, the average Miami facility scores 74, putting Sushi Sake on the weaker side. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
