Sakae Dining Bar - Eastwood

There are a few Japanese Restaurants in Eastwood, but only a few worth going to in my opinion. For lunch deal bentos, options include Sakae Dining, next to King’s Seafood Restaurant; Ichiraku, behind Eastwood library. For Sushi, I love Sushi Arigato. For Ramen, I recommend Zenya. I have been to both Sakae and Ichiraku. Sakae offers $13.50 bentos for lunchtimes with a variety of options including grilled Mackerel, teriyaki fish/chicken and katsus. Ichiraku has their menu starting from $10.80 and increasing with more expensive options. Sakae’s bentos come with green tea, three slices of sashimi, salad, potato salad, a mini spring roll plus rice and miso soup. Ichiraku’s comes with three pieces of baby tuna sushi, salad, rice and miso soup.

Service was friendly and food came out quickly too, portions were decent and was very affordable. Their food was fresh and tasty and have quite a big menu to choose from

I like this place because of the authenticity in Japanese dishes.  From what I can see all the staff speak Japanese and they put efforts into the dishes they make.  Occasionally, I see Japanese people go there.  You will have no problem ordering food in Japanese. I have been there many times with friends and love the sushi. I find it is most fresh when it is on Saturday.  The takeaway sushi is also quite delicious and reasonable in price but you may need to pre-order in case they are busy on the weekends. <br/ <br/ Service: 8/10<br/ Food (sushi) : 8/10<br/ Ambiance: 6/10<br/ Value for money : 8/10

Attentive staff. Good prices. Fresh and consistent food. Been here heaps of times and have never been disappointed. <br/ <br/ Highly recommended

A very nice Yakiniku buffet. It's a little bit pricey at $50-60 a head but if you plan on going here, make sure you're very hungry and eat lots!Sashimi is very fresh, bbq meat is so-so, ice cream is the best part I always end up getting around 5 scoops Seriously black sesame and green tea is soo good!
