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 the sushi I’ve had there so far on my four trips had been incredible. Beautifully presented, and the sashimi and the cooked sushi rolls are all fantastic. Their menu is massive, so it gives me plenty of opportunities to try out more of their delicious food!

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 I love all the menu items. They recently had a shipment of Uni (Sea Urchin), which was amazing. I hope the restaurant gets another shipment soon! I have posted this pictures of the uni and other sushi dishes I have had. My photos do not do the food justice!

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 and IMO was the best sushi roll of my life! Had some delicious cocktails (cucumber breeze is amazing), I ordered the Japan entree with 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 an amazing atmosphere and the food is great. Going back very soon

May 2023 -  Chakara Sushi is located in the Fairport section of the Rochester area and like Henrietta, is close to Lake Ontario. Our party of five had a nice dinner here. Service was a little slow as we sat at our table for some time without any wait staff appearing, but after I got up and flagged down one of the servers it was fine afterwards. We shared all orders but my spicy tuna hand roll and my companion's grilled salmon dinner which were both very good. The shrimp shumai and fried pork gyoza appetizers were what we all expected and well received. The edamame was a small serving that gave us all about three pieces and could have been steamed longer both in terms of temperature and doneness. The six rolls we agreed on were all fine bites. Unique selection of specialty cocktails.

Love the food here. Amazing sushi! Other food for people not eating that as well. Manager is super friendly. Grace our server was on point at all times. She was amazing. Food was of the charts!

Not the best food in terms of flavor. The veggies and tofu were cooked perfectly, but the source was not close to my expectation of flavor from a Thai basil and garlic. They have a very large menu (maybe that is the problem), so will visit again to see if there is more luck next time. The restaurant was cozy and clean, just lack of flavor on our choice of food.

Absolutely LOVE Chakara and the food. I usually just order different sushi items, but with family visiting we ordered a few different dishes as well and they were phenomenal. Definitely my favorite place for sushi and my kids favorite place for lo mein.

The service was excellent and fast. We ordered a LOT of sushi and it's delivery was well paced. The restaurant had a very relaxing vibe to it. Our sushi was delicious and fresh.

Unfortunately the best thing about our entire experience here was the Japanese soda Ramune. If you do ever choose to come here I’d highly recommend you getting it. It was really fun and you’ll understand why if you do. Overall though I came here for sushi and was not impressed with the quality of what we experienced. The prices were very good. Food was well presented. Everyone was beyond kind and the service was good and fast. Just didn’t think the food was very good.

Great experience at Chakara. We went on Saturday night and they seated us right away even though there was a crowd. Great service. I got the tuna avacado roll which was great, my brother got the Salmon Lovers and we loved the presentation. It was a great amount for the price. He also got the 2 piece eel and said it was the best he had ever had! I would go back again.

The servers are always lovely and they have amazing, fresh fish!
