SAKANA CUISINE RYO — Restaurant in Odawara

We were in the area looking for something appetizing and passed by many restaurants, but this was the only one that was fully packed—a great sign. The restaurant had a classy and inviting atmosphere, so we decided to give it a try.

Even though it was the middle of dinner service and we had no reservation, the maître d' took care of us and found us a great table. The restaurant was filled with locals, including families with kids, which made it feel even more authentic. The decor was warm and cozy, with beautiful wooden accents—definitely a good date spot.

Ordering was easy with their online English menu. When the food arrived, the presentation was impressive, but what truly stood out was the taste. Everything was exceptionally fresh, and the service was top-notch. While the prices were a little bit on the high side for the area, they were absolutely worth it for the quality and service.

If you visit, watch what the locals are ordering and follow their lead—they know what's best. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Highly recommended. Stay tuned for my YouTube (AsiaRoadTrek)...

While we were eating, the guy who was preparing the sushis also interrupted us many times and made us change the amount of soy sauce we were using to eat our meal. Apparently I should use just small drops of soy sauce...

I did not feel welcome there, the staff was quite rude, the food is expensive and just ok (nothing special). This was our first bad experience with food in Japan,...

Over all feel of the place was nice. Service was great. Food was hit or miss. Portions are average. Prices average to high end. Smoking is aloud. Wifi available. English menu available.

Good: *Free Wifi *English Menu *Smoking is aloud. *Fried foods are good. Karaage had good flavor.

Bad: *gets full, recommend reservation (night time) *vegetarian options not good. Avoid tofu salad. Too much bland tofu not enough dressing. Plum cucumber roll was okay just not to my liking. *portion are small *little on the high end for sushi. About 480 per piece. *Smoking is aloud *the receipt is all in Japanese eventhough they have English menu.

They gave us some Cheese tofu. We didn't question it, we thought it was part of the meal we ordered but it looked like they charged us on the receipt. It...
