    This used to be my favorite place to eat but I will tell you know that if you want the order cooked right and not short changed on your serving size you should check out the one in Belmont. The Belmont location never fails to impress. You ask for extra broccoli you get it, you ask for extra broccoli on Franklin you get maybe four pieces. You ask for steak cooked medium in Belmont you get medium at the Franklin location you ask for medium steak it is always extra well done. I don't understand what's going on at the Franklin location it used to be great maybe two years ago but now the Belmont location is the place to go.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Service! I had such a great experience at Sake Express in Gastonia. The floor waiter truly went above and beyond to make sure all were taken care of. From greeting us with a warm smile to checking on us throughout the meal without being intrusive, the service was thoughtful and genuine. You can tell he really cares about the customers and takes pride in his work. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly, but what made our visit special was the hospitality. It’s rare to find service this attentive and kind. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend! 💛🍱
