| - I was sooo looking forward to checking this place out. Based on the yelp reviews, it sounded like a good place, but this is one of those times that yelp had done me wrong :( Came here about a month ago for dinner with a few friends on a Friday night. Probably will not be back. Service wasn't bad, but the quality of the sushi and fish just isn't worth it.
It's located on the corner of Flamingo and Maryland, in the Target complex. It was a little difficult to find, because there was no actual sign that read Sakana. From what I remember, I think the restaurant used to be called "Kabuki." I think that sign was still up.
Anyway, there was 6 of us. When we walked in, there were a bunch of empty tables that had yet to be cleaned up--maybe low on staff? There's a sushi bar and a few TVs that played some Asian pop music videos. Quite entertaining to watch lol!
We were seated shortly after one of the employees had a chance to clear up one of the tables. She promptly brought us our beer and water as we requested (I remember them having beer specials--I think a 2 for 1 deal), but it felt like it took forever to order and get our food. We ordered a variety of things from the menu--rolls, appetizers, nigiri. The food was less than mediocre. One of the things we had ordered (I can't quite remember, I think it was the albacore) was fishy--to the point where I had to spit it up into my napkin. Mind you, I love sushi. I know my sushi. And I take pride in the fact that I know the difference in quality. The appetizers weren't bad. I liked the chicken and the mussels. Other than that, I felt pretty let down. And I felt like I let my friends down for suggesting the place :(... Oh well, ya win some, ya lose some. Probably won't be back again.
