About Mamasake's Sushi and Cal-Asian Cuisine

At MAMASAKE we aim to please with a menu that will satisfy any size appetite and friendly service that will bring you, your friends and your family back again and again.

THE CHEF: Passionate about the outdoors, travel and food, chef owner Elsa Corrigan has skied at Tahoe since age 6 and has lived in the Tahoe area since 1985. A graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, she honed her culinary chops at such well regarded restaurants as Aqua, Restaurant Lulu and Acquerello in San Francisco, Mustard’s in Napa Valley and several popular Tahoe spots before opening Mamasake in 2002.

Active in the Tahoe community, Elsa insures that MAMASAKE participates in a wide a range of charity events and fundraisers including the Autumn Wine and Food Festival, Best of Tahoe Chefs, Skate the Lake for Breast Cancer, the Tahoe Community Nursery School’s Celebrity Waiter Dinner, The Kid Zone, the Truckee Donner Land Trust and many more.

THE AMBIANCE: An immediate hit since it opened, MAMASAKE is a social gathering place as much as it is a restaurant with great food. Decorated with colorful murals by Stephan Knapp and architectural details such recycled railroad ties from multiple colored hardwoods, our windows offer a view of the infamous Tram Face and KT22 fingers- accenting the comfortable “mountain casual” atmosphere.

Outrageous Special Events - including the annual Wasabi Eating Contest, Extreme Foods Tasting and ski and snowboard premiers on our big screen - insure a super friendly vibe and a great place to “chill”.

THE AREA: Known for its Big Mountain skiing and skiers, Squaw Valley USA has always been Northern California's favorite playground. Endless snow, huge steeps, boundless sun and the towering peaks of Rock Pile, Squaw Peak, and Granite Chief have made it a legend for people who like to play in the mountains.

The Village at Squaw (home to MAMASAKE) was built to support all year round adventure no matter how you define it at the Resort at Squaw Creek. From skiing and snow boarding to biking, hiking, golfing and relaxing in the pool at High Camp; every season is perfect for a stop at MAMASAKE.
