    Another totally awesome dinner today. Service is always great. If you haven't been here do yourself the best favor and make it your next dinner destination. Ooor lunch, that sounds great too.

    I wish Yelp had .5 system. I could easily rate my visit 3.5: based on location, staff, efficiency, and food. Let me tell you what I liked. 1. They have a gracious and kind staff. Each person appeared to be just as genuinely kind as the next. I appreciate that as part of my customer experience. Customer Service has become such a lost art/skill set, that we are stunned when it's delivered in most settings. I applaud the staff here for their efficient service and patience with my questions. KUDOS to a job well done. 2. This location is easy to find. It's at the rear of a small strip plaza situated between 2 main crossroads. 3. They have a welcoming environment. Something about the soft music playing and the tables makes you want to sit and relax. 4. The pronunciation of RYU's is - Roo's. What was just ok. 1. The Beef Bulgogi (pronounced Burr go gee). Sit was ok to me. Mine was almost dry. What I didn't care for: Kimchi Fried Rice. It was just not to my personal palate preference. The rice was rather sticky and I just didn't enjoy it.

    Only about ten small tables. The place is spic and span. The food is good and very tasty. service is above average and we were served promptly. We ordered fried dumplings and ribeye bulgogi and bibimbap. The kimchi was a side that was tangy and spicy! We will be back

    The food is amazing, and the service was very good for me. Would definitely come back here again. The portion is perfect and very filling. Highly recommend to everyone!

    This is my favorite Korean restaurant in town. I love how simple their menu. The food is worth coming back, over and over. I normally don't like salad, but I just love their side salad. Their mul mandu dumplings were very delicious. We pretty much had everything on their menu and look forward to see what specials they have (which gets posted on Facebook). The service is great. The staff is attentive. The ambiance is cozy. The decor is cute. It reminds me of some anime cartoon. It isn't in a very nice shopping center, but once you walk into the restaurant you forget where you are.

    Although Fort Wayne is a medium size city, we lack Korean restaurant options. This is only 1 of 2 places where you can get authentic korean food. During covid we ordered carry out. The food did not take long to prepare and it was quite fresh. I ended up getting a bibimbop. Although this was not served in a stone bowel (since it was carry out), it was nicely deconstructed in a carry out box. The meat was flavorful with fresh vegetables and the spicy red sauce hit the spot. Two downsides is the cost vs. portion size and the limited menu. If your craving Korean food, given this place a try. Just remember its a very small restaurant tucked in a strip mall.

    Bulgogi stew

    This is a hidden gem in the Fort Wayne area! The food is always phenomenal. My favorite dish is their Bulgogi Stew and my partner enjoys their weekly/daily specials. It is a small restaurant but bustles in the evening. We love the service staff & they truly care about your experience!

    Saisaki a located on Main Street in an iconic restaurant location. It has been fun through the…read moreyears to dine here and watch the street traffic go by. On this occasion we occupied the large group room. The room was cozy and allowed our party to have an intimate room to ourselves. The staff here was very friendly and helpful. There was plenty of help to serve our larger group. They were a bit slow...but allowed us to pace ourselves and enjoy the fellowship. I was impressed that they hustled a child's order ahead of the adults food to keep them satisfied. I didn't see the waiters come back through much after the food was served. On this trip I ordered the steak teriyaki bento box. The box is a bit expensive compared to Other places. However the sinking atmosphere, location, quality and volume...justify the price in my mind. The box came with a cup of miso soup. The soup was tasty and a lot like you would expect for a Japanese restaurant. It did not come with a salad as many other places might. The box was stuffed with food! The steak es piled high and excellent! It was very tender and moist. It had a nice teriyaki flavor marinated in the meat. There were two crab Rangoon pieces and two egg rolls. Normally you would only expect one of each. The crab Rangoon wrapper was cooked so that it was a bit oily and the wrapper was mushy. The filling was plentiful. However I felt like the filling was lacking on crab taste and overpowering on cream cheese. The egg Roll wrappers were a bit more crispy without being too crispy. The wrapper was a bit greasy to taste. I found the filling...while fresh...to be a little mushy as well. There were five pieces of a California roll included. That was a lot of sushi to eat as well. The roll was tasty. It was put together nicely and gave you a good taste of each ingredient.

    We love saisaki! The owners could not be more friendlier or more welcoming. We have come many times…read morebefore and service is always quick. Food is always fresh. The building itself is very nice. I would also HIGHLY recommend booking their private sushi making class. It was awesome!! Well worth the money for the teaching of the class and all the food and drink you get for the price!
