Sakana Lunch... Sakana Lunch.... Sakana Lunch. Say these two words and like Pavlov's K9 I start salivating. The Sakana Lunch special is 100% satisfying. It's huge, tasty and priced right.
Most sushi places take a glob of sticky rice, slice a thin piece of fish, and daintily place the rawness onto the rice. Not at Sakana. Here the sushi chef cuts a steak size piece of fish, thick and long, like a slab of prime rib. Then, he DRAPES the fish over the rice. When he's done, you can't even see the rice.
Once I told the waitress "Excuse me Miss. I ordered Nigiri, which is supposed to have rice. This is sashimi."
"Silly customer." she replied. "We give you Nigiri. Rice under fish. Look. Look." She was right! There was some rice under all that fish. Don't believe me? Look at the photo I uploaded.
If you ever want to totally chow down on a ton of sushi, this is the place to go. The quality of the fish is pretty good: not the best. But the portions are out of sight. Do yourself a favor. Order the "Baked Scallop Roll", it's one of the best I've ever had.
Arigato.
