| - Sakana is what AYCE sushi dreams are made of. I'm in a rush to update my review from 4 to 5 stars! Our dinner here tonight has met all of my requirements for my last meal on earth (...no, I'm not dying...) Sakana is ranked in my number one AYCE sushi joints of all time. All time! I can't even begin to tell you how incredible each and every item we ordered was.
The fish to rice ratio is insane! All of our nigiri had the tiniest bit of rice, yet lengthy, juicy, plump, fresh, sweet, and expertly sliced pieces of fish. Mouthwatering quality!
These are what dreams are made of:
- Salmon nigiri (My salmon addict tongue is happy)
- Salmon belly nigiri (Heaven on earth buttery sweetness)
- Yellowtail belly nigiri (You had me at belly!)
- Uni nigiri (Eyes rolling to the back of your head in pure enjoyment, yup sounds exactly right)
- Ama ebi (It was ginormous!)
- Albacore with garlic ponzu nigiri (My inner sauce whore was loving the garlic ponzu, also the albacore was bu-tter-yyyyyyy!)
- Yuzu yellowtail nigiri (Give us 4 orders stat! Love this refreshing nigiri)
- Baked green mussels (They've mastered the baked green mussel here. Delicious!!!)
- Tower of sashimi poke (love the crisp wonton chip and the explosive flavors!)
- Japanese nachos (kind of like the tower of sashimi poke and it's really addicting!)
- Karai Sashimi (like a dry seasoned poke. I loved how much salmon and tuna they gave! Generous portion!)
- Seafood salad (very refreshing and flavorful)
- Miso soup - Perfect every time. (Not out of a powder package- ya dig?)
- D's guy roll (refreshing, flavorful, great texture)
- Lemon salmon sushi roll (Refreshing! Eat with ponzu)
- Oh! and their ponzu sauce is spectacular. Pairs great with all of their nigiri.
--and so much more! I don't have enough room in my tummy to try everything all at once, so I'm always making a list of a what to get next time I come.
Service was even better than last time we were here (I didn't think that was possible). They quickly went out of their way to give us everything we wanted and then some. Our server is always this cute petite asian woman and she is so sweet and always makes sure everything we need we get right away! Even the sushi chef Dragon visits our table to politely let us know our baked items will be out soon (we weren't even waiting long for them) - what a stand-up guy! He is super friendly and hysterical! We always get a kick out of his silly personality. Definitely makes the restaurant experience lively, entertaining and very personal.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm obsessed with this place. Major foodgasm for sure! I refuse to go anywhere else for AYCE sushi now. They consistently exceed in offering quality cuts of fish and the explosive flavors that we expect, which keeps us coming back for more! Thank you Sakana for not breaking my belly!
