My family and I were starving. We had a long day of shopping in Fort Wayne and needed a good meal. I told them I wanted to try Saisake. It had been years since I had good Thai food, and I was hoping I would find it in this place. I used to have three great places to have Thai food down in Miami, so moving here and finding none was a bit of a shock. Thankfully, I think with Saisake, we found a place finally for good Thai/Asian Fusion food in the area! Saisake has a great convenience feature in that it has a parking garage built into the building they are in. The parking garage is free and has an elevator that takes you near the entrance of the restaurant. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and comfortable. There are two areas, a dining area and a bar, and you cannot go wrong with either area. The service is excellent, our waiter took very good care of us! The food itself was magnificent! It was the best Thai/Asian Fusion food my family and I have ever had. We all started gyoza for the table as well as miso soup for each of us. The gyoza was perfect... my mom ate most of that dish! She was floored with how delicious it was! We were also impressed with how flavorful the miso soup was, my mom commenting on wishing Saisake was closer to where we live so she could have this often. My brother ordered for his main course the Crispy Chicken Katsu, he had some chili paste with it. He said this was the best Chicken Katsu ever! My mom had Lomein Noodles which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had the Sizzling Korean Bulgogi Steak, which was sublime. The flavor was absolutely amazing! We all resolved we would need to return to this restaurant eventually as it was a fantastic experience! If you are in the area, I strongly recommend and implore you all to eat here! This place is special!

Saisaki's disappointing version of "chirashi," not even close to authentic chirashi and not worth its $32 price.
Amanda S.

Beautiful, classy restaurant with a large patio across from Freimann Square and the Fort Wayne Art Museum. However, the sushi is tuned to a midwestern palate--the majority of the rolls are heavy with mayo, fried ingredients. and cream cheese. (To illustrate, 12 of their 16 specialty rolls feature mayonnaise, and the other four include fried items, eel sauce, and cheap surimi (imitation krab)). With no rolls on the menu I'd care to order, I was pleased to see chirashi on the menu, which is one of my favorite Japanese meals. Briefly, chirashi almost universally in the US is an Edomae-style bowl that includes a variety of raw proteins and vegetables with authentic higher-end Japanese ingredients. In fact, along with tuna, salmon and yellowtail, I would expect to see squid, octopus, shrimp, tomago, at least one type of roe, shiso, microgreens, cucumber, fresh daikon, oshinko, kanpyo, and maybe even uni or a special variety of sashimi, arranged over heavily seasoned rice sprinkled with furikake or shredded nori, and presented in a traditional Japanese box or bowl. It never comes with a sauce, although soy, wasabi and ginger are presented on the side. Instead, Saisaki served a shallow white pasta bowl with a rounded scoop of lightly vinegared rice, a small amount of seaweed salad, four bites of oshinko, 12 total slices of six kinds of raw fish ( two each of the cheapest mealy tuna, yellowtail, salmon, mackerel, escolar, and snapper), and a completely unnecessary flower. It was presented with a dish of poke-style sauce, which was described as a soy and hoisin blend with orange and other flavors. I had to specifically ask for the server to bring soy sauce. It was like the chef had never made a chirashi don before in his life. I was low-key shocked. Extra weird, Saisaki's table settings included a fork and western soup spoon wrapped in a cloth napkin, but no chopsticks. Chopsticks were offered in a questioning way with my meal that indicated I and other patrons at Saisaki would not typically be expected to use them. They also did not offer an asIan soup spoon with my miso. To their credit, the service was polite and professional, and the fish portions I received were generously cut and fresh... just ordinary and lesser quality. However, I absolutely insist that in no way should this be described as chirashi, and, moreover, it is definitely not a dish worthy of its $32 price tag. If you're after gloopy, culturally void, 'murican sushi, you probably won't be disappointed here; however, if you value fresh, pure, authentic Japanese, this is not a place I would ever recommend. I look forward to researching and trying a better Japanese restaurant the next time I am in FWA.

Crab rangoon

My wife and I were actually both working downtown in our offices during the continued work-from-home craziness. We settled on Asian cuisine and decided to try out Saisaki. I was pleasantly surprised at how busy they were on a chilly, dark, mid-week night. That's a great sign that there's a good following. Service was ok and pretty much what you can expect these days. The crab Rangoon was tasty and hit the spot to start. My wife had the Tom Kha soup and I went with the sushi roll. Both were excellent choices. I'm glad to see an upscale sushi restaurant in downtown. Please consider giving them a try as I hope they have continued success. Can't wait to go back and the hot pot. :)

Ginger salad

First of all the food is outstanding! I travel for work and honestly rely a lot on reviews from yelp when choosing my dining experience. I was so impressed with the food, service and beauty of the restaurant. I sat in a cozy spot in the bar area by the sushi bar. After a day of traveling it was so peaceful. The ambience is amazing. The minute you walk in you can feel what I'm talking about. I loved the soft music in the background. It actually was a beautiful day and they offer outdoor seating which overlooks a park. I would typically request setting outdoors, but due to the amazing ambience when I walked in, I had to sit indoors! The servers were great. Very attentive. The owner actually introduced himself to me while there. He mentioned that on the weekends they have a piano player. If I lived here, I would definitely check this out on the weekend. I noticed on other review they offer a sushi making class... that would be so much fun for a date night! I ordered the bento box because it had a nice variety. I added the salad with ginger dressing. The meal also came with a side of delicious broth soup. It was perfect. I'm so happy I added the salad with ginger dressing it was amazing. The dressing was perfect. I saw several people ordering the sushi. I would definitely try that next time I'm in town. The crab rangoon were the best I have ever had. The price was very reasonable! You will not be disappointed when coming here! Will definitely be adding this to my rotation when traveling to the Fort Wayne area!

Birthday dinner at Saisaki
Sheila E.

My family and I celebrated my birthday there last night. The food and service and general hospitality of the staff exceeded all expectations! From the special salad brought to the table, the sashimi, the incredible boat of sushi to the Cherry Blossom drink and Gibbs 2015 Cab...absolutely everything was amazing! They made my night unforgettable. The kindest people we have ever encountered at a restaurant. The decor is gorgeous and the service perfection. The food is the winner, by far. Even a non Sushi loving midwesterner like myself is now a believer and a fan. The attention to every detail sets this place apart. You will not be disappointed-the only disappointment would be to miss out on this lovely spot downtown.

Hot pot
Holli K.

Cake here for my birthday with my family and was treated like royalty! We had reserved the hot pot and it was all of our first times partaking in it. It was a lot of fun and delicious! A large variety of meat and seafood. We had more than enough food for the 5 of us and took a bunch home for leftovers. I would absolutely come back and try their regular menu. The staff was so friendly and helpful and made great suggestions for appetizers and desserts.

Great food, very clean, friendly staff, peaceful atmosphere. Fair prices…read more I had a White Dragon, Philadelphia Roll, and Crab Rangoons

The sushi is fantastic. The Thai food, not so much. Just stick with the sushi here…read more The service is good, and the place is beautiful. It's a good date night spot. Thai Tea - $ 3 - This wasn't very good. It didn't really taste like Thai Tea. 0/5 stars. Spring Roll - $7 - This we got I think on a Wednesday night, because if you spent so much money you get a free spring roll appetizer. It was ok, but I wouldn't have paid money for it. 3/5 stars. Vegetables and Tofu $14, Chicken $16, Beef $17, and Shrimp $18 We had the Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and Pad See-Ew. The Pad Thai had the best flavor, and then the Pad See-Ew, and I really can't recommend the Drunken Noodles. We got the Drunken Noodles medium spicy and the other two mild, but I couldn't taste any spice in them. I really wouldn't recommend getting the noodles here, but if you had to pick one, get the Pad Thai. Now for the good part, the sushi! Now, I was planning on trying everything and just making a giant list of what's so good, but I apologize, there's so many good ones that I just forgot my nit picking on certain rolls. You really can't go wrong with any of the rolls. I haven't had a bad one yet. I'm going to list all the rolls I've had, but really, just pick your favorite fish and I'm sure it'll be good. Nori Angel Hiroshima Kobe Black Panther Moon Fire - This is fun show, and it gives a yummy fire taste. Dupont Red Dragon White Dragon Nagasaki American Dream Hamachi Fiesta Indiana Beach Fresh, fried, doesn't matter, all of them are good. They give you soy sauce, but you really don't need it with any of the rolls. Tempura Cheesecake - $8 - This was fantastic. This was free for my birthday lunch, and I was so happy with this. I'd pay money for this. 5/5 stars. Go here for the sushi and the Tempura Cheesecake! We stuff ourselves with so much sushi that we don't leave room for dessert, but I really should get that cheesecake again. Go here!

Not too hard to find with plenty of parking. The place is moderately large and can accommodate a group of 6-8 pretty well. The inside is decorated nicely to fit the Thai flair. Things were clean, orderly and food repairable for a small shop. Don't be alarmed if dishes sit on tables unbused for a while. It appears that they only have one waitress/host/bus person. Things sat a long while on this busy visit. The menu is fairly large and has many of your standard Thai dishes. The prices were reasonable. You feel like you got a good value as the portion sizes were decent and most things came with soup. The soup was your standard. Not much to distinguish the taste. It was pleasant, warm and tasty. I started with the Tod Mon Goon - which is basically a mashed shrimp patty that is fried. The shrimp tasted fresh and had a nice consistency for smashed shrimp. It was moist. The beading was nice and thick and fried to a perfect crisp. Just enough crisp to know that it was fried. But it did have a slightly heavy oily taste. The breading was thick enough to hold the shrimp together. The white sauce was very tasty. I thought it would be a tropical-coconut flavor. It seemed to be a Mayo tule sauce with a slight fruity flavor. You really couldn't distinguish the flavors. It had a thick consistency and nicely accented the dried shrimp! My entree was the Tom Yum seafood bowl. The bowl was large and contained a decent amount of shrimp, crab pieces, calamari and a couple mussels. All were gently cooked as they were boiled in the broth. The broth started out mild and got progressively hotter in spice taste. The broth was tasty enough to spoon up or pour onto the small rice dish provided. The tomatoes, mushrooms and lemon grass were nice accents to the seafood. Together they all made an enjoyable taste! In general the atmosphere here is very relaxed. We were comfortable in the booths. The waitress let us talk as long as we wanted. Overall a pretty good dining experience.
