They have a great happy hour here! We had some delicious appetizers and sushi for a really good price. Our waiter was super nice too! I do wish they had a few more speciality roll options and maybe some that were more unique. But overall everything tasted very good!

Delicious food and friendly service. I have been craving Japanese curry, and they did not disappoint. The hot plum sake is a must! I don't eat sushi, but the happy look on my husband's face let me know the sushi was great, too. This tasted just like the katsu curry I had in Kyoto, and it made my day!

The Ramen was some of the best that I’ve had, the Takoyaki was fire! The sushi was pretty tasty, but I could recommend better places for the price. Overall I would highly recommend Sakana! It made for a fantastic date night!

We have tried just about everything from this restaurant and are regulars for the M-W happy hour. The sushi fish is always fresh and delicious. The service is OUTSTANDING. The people who work there are exceptionally friendly and genuinely glad to see us when we arrive. We feel like we belong there vs just stopping in for a bite. We roll in early since it always becomes packed regardless of the day of the week. I have attached a photo of the happy hour menu, which is of course, subject to change. The happy hour menu offers great value for the price paid. While EVERYTHING else is so delicious, it is obvious that the quality exceeds the price paid. I could go on and on about every item on the menu, but I instead encourage you to find out for yourself. Bottom line - A1 restaurant that well deserves your patronage.

What an amazing sushi place! All of this tasted fresh, the spicy tuna had a nice kick without being loaded with mayo, the sake nigiri had just the right amount of wasabi inside, and the staff was extremely nice. The bill wasn't even too bad at the end. I highly recommend this sushi place!

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and friendly staff. They had a couple of vegetarian ramen options and the Tan Tan ramen was so tasty. I’d definitely come back here again!

Friendly staff. Clean place. Ramen was flavorful, yet required additional cost to add veggies to make it filling. Beef Curry Rice also only had 2 or 3 small meat cubes and the rest was gravy and rice, which did taste good. Overall, a bit pricey for what we got and we all left somewhat unsatisfied.

The kaibashira nigiri was so good. The salmon, tuna nigiri were also excellent. The takoyaki was good and included more octopus than other places that serve this. I was not a fan of the curry ramen, because I wanted more curry flavor and aroma. The chicken was overcooked though. I'll try the curry rice next time I'm in town. Service was great. Mauro was thorough and patient!
