Holy crap. When I came to visit my baby brother in college (where the heck is Urbana-Champaign, anyways??), I thought that I would be eating the run-of-the-mill college food. Mentally prepared for dry burgers and overcooked pasta, I was nearly weeping with joy when I saw that there was a good sushi place.
Sakanaya did not disappoint. My brother and I had the Playgirl and the normal spicy tuna and salmon avocado rolls. The Playgirl was DELICIOUS (how do you fit that much crunchy flavor into one bite?). The spicy tuna also came in chunks rolling in spicy sauce, none of that nasty mayo stuff. It was so good we practically inhaled it.
It is a small restaurant, so if you come during a prime time there will be a short wait. It was around 20 minutes for us at 6:30 PM on a Sunday, so not enough to deter me next time.
Now that we discovered Sakanaya, I may be a leeetttle more inclined to come visit UIUC again. Mmmmmm.
