CAUTION! This location solicits for reviews and it is obviously affecting their rating system. They have fliers on each table offering a free drink if you show them a completed and posted Yelp review! This is wrong! That said, this was a HUGE disappointment!
The bad (besides the HUGE offense already mentioned):
The cuts of sushi are thick but poorly sliced. The Eel was burned and the BBQ sauce was WAY too sweet! Wasabi is a paste (which is ok since real wasabi is hard to come by) but this was so heavy in horse radish that it was terrible! The California rolls have a mushy mayonnaise paste like filling. I understand some sushi places do this and while I don't like it generally, this was inedible.
The reason for two stars (instead of 1):
Our service wasn't terrible. While she did forget our sake, but the staff was generally friendly and prompt. They do have some interesting specials. There is an all-you-can-eat option (both lunch and dinner) which is well executed and does leave dollars in you wallet. So that's a bonus. And the 2 for 1 drinks is a nice touch. While the sushi is mediocre, the all-you-can-eat and drinks specials are nice.
BOTTOM LINE: Sakana does NOT deserve the 5 star reviews it continually gets. It solicits for these reviews and requires a patron to show the POSTED review to get a free drink. (Naturally, this will encourage a guest to give a higher review since it must be shown while dining) This is appalling! Even if the specials were enough to entice me back, their unethical Yelp abuse forces me to boycott this location until it is remedied.
