Sakana

I've been to this place twice now and had really good experiences! I've never had the sushi here, but I love going to this spot for Japanese comfort food. Entrées are $11-$17, so it's a great place to have a nice dinner without breaking the bank. I would recommend coming early since the restaurant is small and tends to fill up quickly.The appetizers are great, most notable are chicken karage, takoyaki, and gyoza. I absolutely love the Ramen here! The broth is flavorful and noodles are never overcooked. You can tell they put a lot of love into their Ramen! The curry beef bowl is rich in flavor and so hearty. To make it more filling, I'd recommend adding a cutlet because it's mostly curry sauce over rice.They offer competitive pricing for drinks as well. You can get sake for $4-$7 and large Japanese beer for $7. They have wine, but I don't believe they serve cocktails here. Overall, a lovely tucked-away spot where food is made with a lot of love!

Being in the center of the states, sushi can be pretty meh. However, Sakana was quite delicious. It was quite busy when we got there but found seating quickly. The sushi tasted fresh and it was delicious. The unagi and fatty tuna were tasty. The fried chicken was nicely crisped so it's quite crunchy with each bite. The takoyaki was super flavorful and you can taste a nice blend of the sauce with the batter and the octopus. Just delicious little bite. The ramen was pretty good. It wasn't a standout. My bf recommends the curry ramen next time so if you're looking for a recommendation, I would try that.It's quite spacious and nicely decorated. Staff is friendly. Food comes out quick. Can't complain much.

After a long hard week of moving into our new place, we stopped at Sakana. First things first, do not let the exterior fool you - the interior has such a cute, neutral, clean and foresty vibe. It is warm and inviting and even the music that is playing is pleasant. On a Thursday evening we were sat almost immediately and our serve was at the table within minutes taking our food order. Our server was Jared and he was absolutely delightful! He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, anticipated our asks and for the one small mistake that did happen (our daughter's tuna roll had wasabi on it - it comes that way and we didn't know) he was very quick to have it adjusted and so kind.Now onto the food:We ordered:- Pork Gyoza 5/5- Spicy Miso Ramen 3.5/5- Spicy Tuna Rolls 3/5- Crunch Spicy Tuna Roll 4/5- Tuna Roll 5/5 The Pork Gyoza is just as everyone says, amazingly delicious and cooked to perfection. It had the perfect balance of flavor. The broth of the Spicy Miso Ramen was delicious, we have been searching for a good spicy ramen, and while the broth on this one met our expectations, the other additions (egg and bok choy, pork and noodles) did not retain the flavor well. The spicy tuna was not spicy at all, I almost thought to ask if we had accidentally received the regular tuna. However, it was extremely fresh and still had good flavor.The crunchy spicy tuna had a bit more flavor, not so much spice, but flavorful in its additions.Lastly - the tuna roll, again very fresh, but it served with wasabi if you do not ask for it off - not my cup of tea, but could be excellent for the target audience.For all of this we spent less than $100 including drinks. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would come back for the service alone.

What a find! Came here last night based on Yelp! reviews. This is a true hidden gem and so glad I found it. Inside very quaint, clean and well lit. Staff here is awesome and for sure 5 star! Super friendly , knowledgeable and really made this a 5 star experience. For food I started off with the karaage chicken and while a little different than what I am used to but regardless it was delicious. I had the spicy miso ramen with added chayu, seasoned pork and added egg. Normally most ramen comes with an egg but this is a little $$$ either way this was so delicious! Can't even explain how fresh and amazing is was. What a great experience on a hidden gem located in a non obscure strip mall in the corner but it was worth every bite. Will for sure be back!

Modern&simple decor inside, good service and food. Smaller menu with good choices. We had a Geso age, Kara age, picked different fish/nigiris and ramen! The nigiris were fresh and good size bite. Their salmon belly nigiri is a must try. We will definitely go often for their nigiris and appetizers!

We came here for lunch on a Sunday and we were able to get a table right away. We got the dragon roll California roll and a specialty roll plus Unagi Nigri. Everything was tasty. The service was really good. Prices were OK and restaurant had nice decor. Good sushi if you're nearby but nothing to travel for.

Went here for my birthday There was a little bit of a wait but nothing crazy. It actually went a lot quicker than I thought. The decor and quality of the sushi is what really brings this place together. It's very minimalistic, plant oriented, clean and modern. I absolutely loved the vibes. We got spicy miso ramen, a roll that had eel on the top and a vegetarian roll. We also got green tea mochi ice cream for dessert. 4/5 stars because the service was pretty meh. I was excited to be there on my birthday but the server kept rolling her eyes every-time she walked to our table. Kinda ruined the vibe a bit. I'm not sure if she just assumed we wouldn't tip or what. Speaking as a past server, never assume someone may not have the means for a nice tip. I'll need to try again to see how the service is.

Unassuming and very nice. Sakana punches well above its weight in quality and service for the price. We enjoy sushi and beef curry here regularly and I'm grateful it's in the neighborhood.

This place has been so fantastic both times we have gone. We love the environment so much, my boyfriend and I have gone there for our anniversary date to celebrate. We have grabbed the Spicy Miso Ramen, the Tonkotsu Ramen (I like to add some Spicy Miso Paste), and the Gyozas. All of them have been great from the first bite until the last bite. Recently, I also ordered the Plum Flavored Hot Sake and it was extremely tasty as well. You got the subtle taste of both the plum and sake without either flavor being overpowering. The service is always top tier as well. Everyone is attentive and quick to assist you when needed. The second time we went it was busy and popping but the service never wavered.

I randomly found this place on Maps, and I'm glad I stopped by! The service was incredibly quick, yet I didn't feel rushed to leave.
