We go here once a week at least. Dining at Sakana is a bit like being an explorer in an uncharted sea – you’re never quite sure what exotic delights you'll encounter, but you're certain it will be an adventure. This evening's foray into the culinary deep was no exception, featuring a smorgasbord of sushi, sashimi, and specialty rolls that would make even the most seasoned sushi aficionado raise their eyebrows in intrigue.
The star of the show, without a doubt, was the Golden Dragon Roll. It arrived at our table with the kind of flourish that would have made even a peacock jealous, and for good reason. This roll wasn't just food; it was a culinary masterpiece, a symphony of flavors wrapped in a seaweed baton. The first bite was akin to finding an unexpected tenner in an old coat pocket – a delightful surprise that leaves you grinning from ear to ear.
Each piece of sushi and sashimi was so fresh, I half expected it to leap from the plate and perform a spirited rendition of 'Under the Sea'. The rice was as perfectly seasoned as a Shakespearean monologue, and the fish – oh, the fish! It was as tender and flavorful as a love ballad.
In the hands of lesser chefs, a plate of sushi can be just a meal, but at Sakana, it's a journey. A journey through the oceans of the world, without the inconvenience of seasickness. The Golden Dragon Roll, in particular, was a magic carpet ride over the culinary landscape, leaving us not just satisfied, but utterly enchanted.
As we left, I couldn't help but feel a little like Columbus must have felt when he returned from the New World. We had ventured into the unknown, tasted its wonders, and returned home, our palates forever changed. Sakana, you have not just fed us; you have enriched our very...
Read moreRestaurant owner Cindy ask me to write a good review on google after a few time stops there, usually I order some cooked kitchen stuff here, and have the sushi in different restaurant. Then I saw that there were good reviews about her sushi , so I try that sushi @ sakana couple days ago, the sashimi and rolls were in a big plate together, my son and daughter just ate that half , then I found that sashimi and rolls had kinda strange smells, so I stopped my kids and throw all the food to trash can. Unfortunately, my kids all got the stomachache, and had loose bowels. Until today they are just feeling better .I think because of frozen fish, not fresh at all , maybe John’s review is correct( he mentioned all fish @sakana sushi bar are frozen)…Anyway I won’t be back again to sakana. BTW, I saw Winter vpn Hallow’s review gave 5 stars with pictures, that is not tobiko at all , that is cheap masago ,you are deceived by restaurant . Well , maybe the people here (who give good reviews) don’t know what is the real fresh sushi , lack of common sense about sushi stuff. The owner ask everyone to give the good...
Read moreFirst time eating from this place and I am not impressed. We ordered from this place for my office, I got the hibachi steak and received white rice, steak requested medium, it came in broth...seasoning isn’t bad; but it isn’t great. Frozen shrimp that has been in a fridge too long, you can clearly smell the non-freshness of the shrimp.
The soup for the first time tastes great, if you mix the broth with the rice, it makes the flavor be “expected”. Overall, I’ve had better hibachi. The best part of the meal was from my co-workers plate, chicken. Great taste, amazing seasoning. The steak was subpar. I recommend if you have to get anything, chicken hibachi, or stay away from the hibachi all together.
Usually, when I open up to a new place, I allow my taste buds to do the talking for me. Most of the time if something is amazing, my reaction is typically “wow, this is amazing!” Unfortunately, I did not encounter this feeling...
