At first I wasn't too keen on the idea of raw fish in the desert.. until I found Sakana! I have a ton of beloved sushi spots in CA and Sakana surpasses many of them - I am a sushi lover and now that I live in AZ I am somewhat of a regular at Sakana. (And will not try any other sushi spot in AZ because I love this one so much!!) There never really is a time that is not busy, which says a lot about the place. I can only speak for the sushi as I have never had anything from the grill - but the fish is fresh and the flavors of the rolls are well balanced and not laden in sauces. I appreciate that the service is always friendly and efficient as well, literally every time we go and no matter how packed it is. If you go for lunch, I highly recommend their poke bowl - it is a fairly large serving and is absolutely delicious! Also, a must for lovers of spice - you HAVE to try the flaming edamame. The spicy salmon hand-rolls are another favorite... the amount of fish served is generous compared to many other places that load up on the rice. Other favorites include the salmon sashimi and the blood orange roll. The best part is that all of this comes at a very reasonable price.
