A FRIEND AND I recently visited a local favorite in Lebanon, Sake Japanese Grill, for the first time. The menu features hibachi, teriyaki, sushi, and various Japanese dishes. It has a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. We were seated quickly and greeted by Leah.
Lunch started with a California sushi roll and crab wontons. The sushi was well presented, with an ample amount of ginger on the side. The wontons were crispy, and the cream cheese and crab mixture was flavorful, especially dipped in the delicious sweet and sour sauce. I had requested to leave off any sesame seeds or roe, and the kitchen staff honored my request.
For our main courses, I opted for the teriyaki salmon. The chef prepared it just the way I liked it, with a savory teriyaki glaze that was rich but not too overpowering. It was served with a side of rice that paired well with the dish. My guest ordered the Samurai, a combination of chicken, steak, scallops, and shrimp. The meal was tasty, but she especially liked the shrimp. It was a large portion with the right blend of seasonings.
Throughout our meal, Leah was exceptional in her service. We enjoyed sweet tea and Coke Zero, and Leah’s attentiveness ensured we never had to ask for a refill. Overall, Sake exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. I highly recommend Sake to anyone looking for a great dining experience. It’s a place where you can enjoy high-quality food and excellent service at affordable prices. GN
