Arrived at 8.30pm on a Sunday, when they close at 9 not expecting much from a small sushi joint. However the restaurant is one of the little gems of the area, serving the best Japanese sushi/food in the area. The service itself is a highlight as the servers show so much care and dedication as they seat you and take your order. <br/ <br/ Ordering the aburi salmon sushi, tempura roll and okonamyaki, everything arrived promptly and remained high quality. The tempura roll whilst small had a delightful filling and the aburi salmon could of done with more seasoning sauce but did not disappoint. <br/ <br/ Would def recommend for sushi lovers in the area, and to go here inside of the falsely review...
With an abundance of choices on the menu, we found it hard to decide, but the staff were incredibly patient with us.
Here’s what we ended up ordering:
- **Takoyaki Balls**: These were delightful with a crispy exterior and tiny pieces of octopus inside. The sauce and bonito flakes truly elevated the dish.
- **Spicy Rolls**: You can select from two options (tuna or salmon). We opted for the salmon and were not disappointed. It had a mild kick, which was quite pleasant.
- **Gyu Don**: A generous portion of rice topped with beef slices and onions, served with miso soup.
- **Teriyaki Chicken Rice Set**: This included teriyaki chicken, rice, miso soup, a side salad of cabbage and tomatoes, and a...
Food was great, service was great, and ambience was great! We sat down and were given water and glasses straight away. We ordered sushi and dumplings, miso soup and green tea. The miso soup and green tea arrived quickly, followed by dumplings, then our sushi. We thanked the staff, including waitress and kitchen staff, and the three of them smiled and bowed to us, thanking us warmly. We'll be back again sometime for sure.
My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant because we were in the mood for Japanese cuisine. We ordered takoyaki, sashimi, and chicken katsu udon, and everything was delicious. However, we did find some bones in our salmon sashimi, which was disappointing. The service could have been better as well; the staff seemed a bit worn out and perhaps overwhelmed after a long day, which I can understand.

We had a lovely meal at Sakae. The food was delicious, the waitress was so gracious and it was not as expensive as Japanese restaurants generally seem to be. We had about 9 dishes shared between 8 people and it cost approx $15 per head. Great value and we were all satiated!
What a fantastic find! The place may not look very upscale, but the quality of the food is excellent! The service is friendly, and the portions are generous. Prices are quite reasonable. I'm so happy to have discovered this spot and will definitely be returning!
Always great service, consistently good quality food and great sushi.<br/ <br/ I go here often and am never disappointed, my favourites include the shogayaki (ginger pork), tempura assortments, sushi, and the Japanese style curries.<br/
Good suburban, family friendly Japanese restaurant. <br/ My kids love the oyako don and the deal with sashimi makes it good value. Decent service although can get quite busy around 6- I guess this is when all the families come!<br/

Great Japanese haunt. Tried almost everything on the menu, which is consistently good. Service is friendly and efficient all the time. Gets busy on weekend dinner hour.
Reliable Japanese restaurant. People behind the kitchen are trained Japanese. Although some of them are relatively young. They do give you Japanese dish on your table.
