Always great coming to sakana. Sushi is fresh and so delicious. Love this place and it's a family favorite... to the point where it's the first and most immediate stop coming off the plane. Ambiance is super chill and the place is really cute. Staff is very fast. Absolutely recommend and wish we had similar places in the Bay.

Sakana is a cute and cozy neighborhood Japanese spot that exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed my Tuna Bomb Roll and my Miso soup. The food came out rapidly and it hit the spot!! With tax and tip, the entire bill cost $19.84 for one person on a weeknight. Not bad for an expensive city and delicious food. The other diners were happy and it was bustling with energy. Two thumbs up!

Located next to my fave breakfast spot in San Francisco (Joy's Place!) is this unassuming spot that serves up a delicious tomato based ramen with clams and perfectly chewy grilled chicken gizzard skewers. I've never had a tomato based broth ramen before but it's soooo much better than the traditional creamy ramen. It was packed with flavor and kind of reminded me of the tomato based Vietnamese soup, bun bao hue.

Loved all of our fresh sashimi from our dinner! We did the sashimi omakase as well as a a sashimi combo which came with some nigiri and california rolls. I'm not sure how they make their california rolls differently since it's such a basic staple but it tasted fresh and i enjoyed it more than most! We also ordered two miso soups to begin our meal and it came out super hot - just the way soup should be!All in all, I really enjoyed the food. Good price for good quality and freshness. The server was so sweet and was very attentive as well! I only knocked off a star because they have a very limited selection when it comes to special rolls.. but if that's okay with you, this place is the place to go!

Ron was our server and he was amazing! He was so patient when taking all of her orders, and explained all the dishes to us. The fish was very fresh, my favorite among all the nirigi was probably the seared salmon and the trout. Highly recommend both and the fried bananas!

A chill and cozy little corner. Awesome options that feel authentic (like the mountain potato with umeboshi), but of course they offer Americanized fun rolls, too (like a crunchy roll with tempura bits on top). Prices are awesome for the amazing quality you get. Extra bonus chill and cozy points for getting to choose your own unique sake cup to use when you order hot sake. Love that! I highly recommend this place.

Best sushi restaurant in SFBay Area. We've been coming here for over 20 years and absolutely love everything about it. Delicious fresh sushi, simple cozy decor, kind staff and wonderful atmosphere. We leave happier and calmer every single time. Whenever we are in the city, we make sure to visit our favourite sushi spot. A true SF gem!

This restaurant is a gem. Good price. Their omakase is $35 with a great variety nigiri (9 pieces). Ok the atmosphere may not be the best, but the fish they have are the ones that I love most. If you like authentic nigiri and these fish/shellfish (Katsuo, maguro, and mirugai), you have to come here. They are the best! Also the nigiri has a good fish and rice ratio. The chef did an excellent job to enhance the flavor of the fish. We have been here pre and post pandemic and they are still the same. Cons: it's a bit difficult to find parking space.

Very good authentic Japanese. Fresh fish, not a lot of sauce on rolls. Sashimi and nigiri top notch.
