Sakai Japanese Bistro

Having been in here a quite a few times over the last 15 years or so, I can say that the lunch service has been very good. Today I had the Miso Ramen and a Tuna Roll and was impressed with how quickly and tasty my lunch was. If your in the area and like Japanese cuisine I would recommend giving them a try.

We visited Troy recently and had dinner at Sakai for the first time in many years. I'm happy to say, we were not disappointed. We ordered an assortment of appetizers for our group of 5. Hot items (spring rolls and crab rangoon) were still hot from the fryer. The sushi was very nicely done. All of the appetizers were delicious. For dinner I had the chicken teriyaki bento box and all of it was amazing, with my favorite being the small assortment of tempura items (2 shrimp and some veggies). I highly recommend visiting Sakai when you are in the Troy area, though I would warn you, this is not an inexpensive place. Personally, I cannot wait to return.

We were looking for a good sushi restaurant while out running some errands in Troy and decided to stop in. The inside is clean, organized and neat. We were seated right away for lunch, but it wasn't busy. We ordered a tempera roll a California roll, egg, crab and tuna sushi. All sushi was delicious. The individual sushi was very nicely sized. They provided regular soy and lower salt soy on the tables. We ordered a diet soda and tea and those were also cold and large sized. The price of the meal was reasonable. We will be back.

Just what I needed. This establishment has it all. The ambiance, the excellent customer service and the delicious cuisine. I tried the spicy tuna roll: fresh and tasty. I also ordered spring rolls which were crispy and hot. Great flavor. I had the noodles which was a new taste for me as the broth was a bit sweet. Suggested by the server and I'm thankful for it. Received a $5 coupon for next visit with my bill. Great birthday lunch and I will be back soon! (Shown is my daughters bento box as well)
