I grew up eating a lot of Chinese food. I loved Chinese food, however I had never eaten Japanese. The typical American has the very narrow-minded idea that all Japanese cuisine is sushi, but this is very wrong. I fit myself into this category many years ago. After a great deal of education into the matter, I finally was curious to try Japanese, and even felt brave enough to give sushi a chance. I ended up at Sakai Japanese Bistro. The menu is vast and covers a great deal of their cultures' tastes. There is also a hibachi area of the restaurant, although I have never eaten at that end, it seems to be very popular. The sushi selection is large and everything I have order is fresh and made quickly. The presentations are lovely and eye pleasing as well. I have yet to receive an unpleasant roll or nigiri selection. The sushi tends to be my appetizer however, as I am partial to the soba noodles. I love soups, especially of the Asian variety. Soba has such a strange, yet appealing taste complex and Sakai is the only local Japanese restaurant that I have found to offer it on the menu. I usually order the beef or the curry. The former has a nice sweet/savory balance, with the curry giving a nice bit of heat. Note that Japanese curry is vary different in taste to that of Indian, with a fairly mild amount of heat. Definitely a flavor worth experiencing. The last time we were there, my wife ordered a bowl of ramen. This was probably the only negative experience we have had at Sakai. She was very unhappy with this choice, stating that it was lacking in comparison to the ramen restaurant that we frequent in the Columbus area. In my opinion, ramen tends to be best ordered from Japanese restaurant that ONLY servers ramen. I have also learned this the hard way, although it was not at Sakai. The service is always spectacular and never lacking in anyway. We took our family and another family a few years ago, and they were more than accommodating to our large party, despite it being a busy Friday night. In fact, they had a special "private room" that they sat us in. It was really nice to have the entire space to ourselves! Even though we were in an out of the way area, the service was still amazing. Our waiter was constantly checking in on us. There are a lot of Japanese that live in and around Troy, and they all seem to gravitate to Sakai. This is certainly testament to the owner's dedication to the authenticity of their menu, as well as to his loyal clientele. I have eaten at several other Japanese establishments since my first experience with Sakai, but this is certainly my favorite.
