Sakai Japanese Bistro

The biggest thing Sakai has over other Japanese restaurants I’ve been to in the area is the variety. You’re not going to find an entire fish fried like this or cold soba noodles on a hot day everywhere. There’s a good variety of sushi here and the more common sights like tempura and beef teriyaki here too, so there’s plenty for people not wanting to explore as much too. There’s a hibachi side here, though it seems like the dining room is the focus and I can’t say I have experience on that side of things. To be fair, the food is a little more expensive here, but it is also quite high quality. It’s the kind of place to go just every once in a while to try something new to me, which is a fine role for a restaurant, especially one that is a bit more of a drive for those of us near Dayton. Worth the trip.

Great good, wonderful staff. We come here so often that they know what our "usual" is. Katsu Curry for me and Soft Shell Crab and Gyoza for my girlfriend. This is the closest place to my house in Tipp City where I can get my Curry fix on. It's my absolute favorite food. I definitely recommend this place. They also have sushi and ramen as well as other Japanese and Asian dishes. As far as I know, none of the workers are Japanese and that's a bit of a let down, but they are still wonderful people. It's not Coco Ichibanya in Asakusa... But it's still amazing curry. My girlfriend is addicted to the soft shell crab

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)

I had a better experience then when I tried it last year since under new ownership. You can read that review on Tripadvisor. My ex said he went to give the Katsu Curry a try a few days ago and it was much better. I went with him today cause he went to eat more. They had small and medium sushi rolls half price. It was nice to see they were open on a Sunday. The rolls were small (cute). I got the california roll and dream roll. I also got takoyaki. ❤ i think maybe some of the prices of some things went up a little but it was worth it this time.
