    The Tokyo Hibachi

    All I can say is that this place was totally an unexpected find in Springfield, OH! You do have to look past the exterior, but once inside this place is very welcoming and comfortable. Service was great, we were greeted and seated quickly, and there was little wait time when our appetizer and entrees arrived. We ordered the spicy salmon roll and yellowtail roll - both were great and fresh! We both ordered the Tokyo (shrimp and steak hibachi) and it was amazing. I've been to several Japanese steakhouses, but this one in Springfield so far has been the best (including those in Columbus and around Easton). This is a gem folks!

    We stopped by Sake, which is my boyfriend's favorite sushi place in the world! I started with a hot sake and miso soup. Ironically the sake was scalding to the point where it hurt your hand to pour yourself a cup full and the miso was lukewarm. These temperature mishaps are the reason I docked a star. My boyfriend is obsessed with crab Rangoon and the one at Sake is his favorite. I'm not an expert on the dish, so you'll have to trust his word. The exterior was crisp and the dipping sauce was a slightly sweet soy sauce - all in all I enjoyed the dish. I had the spicy tuna roll. The tuna was fresh and the spice level was decent. Again, I'm not a sushi expert, but I enjoyed my rolls. Sake offered 30% off most of the menu so the price of the dinner ended up being quite reasonable. Service was very efficient and the restaurant was clean and inviting.

    Guess who tried Sushi for the first time?!?  And a "crazy rabbit" roll with spicy salmon, no less!!

    Sake now is your best choice for sushi here in W. Springfield. Service, cleanliness, and attention to detail, something that sadly is now less than stellar a few doors down at its sadly limping "cousin," Sakura. We had a great dinner here Friday night, and didn't feel like we were interrupting the waiters/waitresses, nor coming at a "bad time," which was the case our last visit to the other Japanese steak house choice down the street. Not sure if they're run by the same owners or not, but if you're in the mood, and in the area (still not quite worth a special trip...) this is your best bet for Japanese on the "strip." Sushi or Hibachi, give it a try!!

    Love eating here. Typical hibachi experience or booth the food is always good. My wife and I often get the sushi though. We love the Yummy Yummy Roll here as well as several others. Heck even the tempura chicken is better than most other "chicken fingers" - plus there is Yum Yum sauce so it's a win-win.

    Ordered sushi to-go during the week. Came home to find out that we didn't get one of the rolls we ordered and our shrimp in the shrimp tempura rolls weren't even deveined. We also didn't realize it until halfway through eating them! Extremely disgusted! Called and spoke to management who said she could do nothing but add a credit for the 3 rolls (missing, and 2 non-deveined shrimp tempura rolls) to use next time we come in. Definitely will not be going back.

    My son and I love this place! The yum yum sauce is the best! We tried this one and the other Japanese Steakhouse practically next door and we never went back to the other one. We eat here at least a couple times a month. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is the lettuce needs to be fresher most of the time but other than that it's great!

    The food is alright depending on what you order. Service is good not too shabby. It's a little pricey for what you get in my opinion.

    I was excited for my second visit, timing my lunch on a western drive from Ohio to Indiana. Happy…read moreto have a reprieve from dodging the semis on I70. I wasn't as surprised this time by the location in a neighborhood, something that gives it a very welcome feel and suggests with the addition of a covered outdoor porch with picnic tables that this is a good neighborhood hang. I was late for lunch, almost two but there were some folks still finishing up. Good vibe, good music and casual atmosphere. I opted for the Takoyaki app which was tasty and not so burning hot that it scorched the roof of your mouth. Also the right amount of mayonnaise as opposed to often an excess. The Ramen Flight was fun in principle but I wouldn't do it again. I unwisely and perhaps naively assumed there would be mini versions of the full serving of Tonkotsu broth with Mayo, Thai curry and Szechuan with scallions. But it really is just the broth and ramen. Expected the Szechuan to have some heat and peppery lip buzz but did not. The Thai curry was super salty. Just missed some option of veggies and protein. Finally I would suggest not sitting near the front near the stairs to the kitchen. The spot has competing music soundtracks with two different play lists battling between your two ears.

    YE Gurl Says: Hidden Vibes, Solid Bites at Speakeasy Ramen…read more Place: Speakeasy Ramen Address: 365 Ludlow Avenue, Springfield, OH Date: March 26 Accompanying the beau on a work day trip, he said he looked up a ramen spot to go to. So we pulled up to Speakeasy Ramen not knowing exactly what to expect, but let me tell you--it's giving lowkey, tucked-away gem with personality. A large house turned restaurant with a large patio and on a rather unassuming neighborhood block... I was taken aback. What we ordered: * Moto Taco * Takoyaki * Panko Shrimp * Thai Curry Ramen * Spicy Cheese Ramen (sub shrimp) * Lychee Ramune * Yuengling Total: ~$64 for two -- and honestly? Not bad at all for the spread. Let's get into it. The apps came out swinging. The takoyaki had that classic savory, slightly crispy outside with soft center situation going on in the traditional balls not the pancake style and the panko shrimp delivered the crunch you expect. Moto taco? Fun, different--definitely a good start to the meal. Now the ramen... The Thai Curry Ramen brought flavor--rich, warm, and a nice switch-up from your standard broth. But the standout? Spicy Cheese Ramen with shrimp I know... it sounds like it could go left. But it actually works. Creamy mac and chesse sauce vibes, spicy, indulgent--this is one of those bowls that's not traditional, but you're not mad about it either. Drinks were simple--Ramune for a little nostalgic pop, and a casual beer to round it out. YE Gurl Insight: This isn't your polished, big-city ramen bar--and that's exactly the point. It's got character, a little creativity, and enough flavor to make you remember it. Could it compete with spots in Chicago or New York City? Yes and it has even won awards and been in some food mags. This is how the beau found it. Crazy right! It's a strong showing. Final Take: If you're in the area and want something casual but not boring, this is worth the stop. Good variety, solid portions, and a menu that's willing to play a little. YE Gurl Says: Pull up, order a few things, and don't overthink it--this is a "try a little bit of everything and enjoy the ride" kind of spot.

I have never been handed the ordering pad to confirm my order like I worked there enough to really interpret the system menu - and still they managed to get my order wrong... then they never brought me the a cup of water to drink with my meal. Oh they forgot my spoon to use to eat my soup.... never came back to check in for me to ask for either of those things. Second- the food quality. It is not even close to old akashi. Anyone who has ever had fatty tuna.. knows those things melt in your mouth. The one today? Fishy taste and poorly cut (it was tough to chew and stringy). The 20 dollar wooguhji? The barest of soups.. barely any cabbage or egg... it was sad. Lastly store appearance. Their bathroom give me icks.. the mirror was so greased streaky.. ugh. We wont be back for a long time, if ever again honestly. And anyone who eats sushi... your sushi plate that is served never looks.... questionable. This was a first for me. And the whole time there was only one or two other parties in the building at a time. It was basically dead for a dinner hour.
