Sawa Japanese Steakhouse

Went out for a date night tonight with my husband and we decided to check out Sawa Japanese steakhouse! We’ve never been, so figured why not give it a try! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with hospitality and smiles! Our server Tim recommended his favorites to us and gave us a run down of the drinks and the menu! Quick service and friendly staff all around! Tim definitely went above and beyond to ensure we never had an empty cup and checked on us throughout our meal to ensure we were enjoying it! Definitely a great date night spot and be sure to ask for Tim as your server! He had a great personality and all around great attitude towards everything!

My friend was craving for some Ramen and asked me to come with him. I’m so glad he brought me here because the food was exceptional. I come from Hawaii where Japanese food is ubiquitous and this place did not disappoint. We both ordered the Tonkutsu Ramen. It was great. Will probably come back without him lol I’m just kidding. The place was clean and the service was great. Highly recommend.

Sawa in Forest is definitely a gem! My wife and I drive from Bedford on our days off together and have lunch a few times a month. The menu is big and we're chipping away at it slowly! Our favorites so far are the Georgia roll, along with the sesame chicken and General Tso's chicken hibachi lunch combos. Everything is flavorful and you can taste the time and care put into the food. Especially the amazing crisp on the chicken and sweet/savory tang of the sauces. Definitely not the average mushy take-out you'll find most anywhere. We finish our meal off with their delicious bubble milk tea for the road. I've had this all over, in many different states and this is some of the best! Addictive and refreshing. The Thai and strawberry are our favorites so far, but I'm sure we'll try the rest. W
