| - My husband and I just moved to the Phoenix area from Ohio. We really enjoy our Japanese cuisine and thought that our native state had some really great places to offer.
However, we are now fortunate enough to live within walking distance of Sakana. We figured we'd give it a try on a random recommendation, and we are so happy we went.
You wouldn't expect much out of this place, being shoved into a tiny strip mall, but the restaurant is of fair size and has a very moody/laid back atmosphere. The hostess greeted us in Japanese, which sort of took us aback, but it was a nice touch. Everyone was really friendly and the wait staff was very knowledgeable about the items on the menu.
As far as the food goes, it was excellent. I had an Alaskan Roll which was some of the best sushi I have had in a while. My husband had equally good sushi in a dish that I cannot remember the name of! We tried the spring rolls as an appetizer and enjoyed those. They tasted nice and fresh.
The only negative, and it's really not that bad, is that it is a little pricey.Especially if you are trying to pinch your budget as my family is, but it's not an extravagant price. It is affordable if you have extra cash for dinner out.
All in all, it was really enjoyable and good and I am looking forward to returning.
