| - Sometimes, when you are in the midst of conversation and start sharing places to dine among friends and you get recommendations to try this place - "you'll like it! "Too me, sometimes word of mouth and even reading reviews whether it be on Yelp/google/trip advisor/through a friend and etc it is totally a "Hit and Miss".
I must say Sakana Sushi & Grill has very friendly customer service and our waitress was very gracious. However, their dishes we had were a disappointment being that it was recommended to come and check this place out.
We ordered the calamari, baked super mussels, baked scallop rolls, and their spicy & regular tonkatsu ramen. Calamari was okay - it wasn't anything that was a WOW factor - the batter was tasty, both the baked super mussels and scallop rolls was stuffed with a mountain of mayo/imitation crab and usually it is supposed to be marinated with mayo/sirracha/masago/green onions - baked/flared on the top...Yahhh, it wasn't nothing near to that and same thing with the scallop rolls...I felt they put a lot of the imitation crab/mayo as a filler/Scallops are definitely from frozen food packets you can pick up at the store - you can tell what kind of scallops they use because it's not fresh/semi-fresh at all but, solid hard when biting into it or it just could be how people in the community like to eat their sushi - not authentic but, I am not entirely sure! Because it was a packed house tonight
The tonkatsu ramen was meh - Broth was good, but the cha siu (pork meat) was ALL FAT and very tiny bites of little meat on it - maybe like 2 tiny pieces I found and the rest I just threw it out on the side.
I think the waitress knew I was disappointed in their food tonight because she saw me scraping all of the imitation crab to the side, trying to find these scallops and eating my roll, she also saw my cha-siu fat on the side as well.
It was a "miss", will I come back again! I don't think so...It was a one time deal for us.
