Sakana SushiSunshine & Sushi!Had an early dinner on the outside patio on one of the first great weather days of Minnesota Spring! (Sad to say it was May 5!) RE: noise level: Because it was late afternoon the restaurant had very few people and it was a very calm, comfortable atmosphere. About 1/2 hour before we left a group with kids came in and it "livened up" the place a bit, but not overwhelmingly.
Server was very welcoming and friendly but not patronizing, very helpful in his information about both the bar menu and food menu. He was truly part of the wonderful experience! Calamari appetizer and White Tiger Roll was phenomenal! Great Mojito as well! [We went for multi-cultural on that one! :-) J/K]5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat EveningThis place is a nice place for a great evening.

Thanks!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGrea food is always the keyWe have dinner at Sakana once a week, which as foodies who like to eat around, is a big deal. We've surprised ourselves with this weekly loyalty, and have decided while we like the service, atmosphere etc, we come back back because everything on the menu is good and good every time.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMExquisite sashimi!Once again the food and sake were outstanding. Baby squid salad and edamame were both prepared perectly, yum! The sashimi entree had five different types of fish, beautifully arranged -- all were exquisite and reflected a range of flavors and textures. Our server was very helpful and just the perfect amount of attentive. The range of sake choices, available by glass or carafe was awesome. A wonderful little spot in downtown Wayzata.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMNo better place to get sushiNo better place to get sushi w a Lake Minnetonka view.

Ordered the chef's choice sushi & sashimi platter and a couple of a la carte items- truly appetizing & gorgeous presentation, excellent flavors/textures for the fish, very high quality. Even the nori wrappers used had a wonderful roasted flavor & perfect texture. Squid salad had lots of squid in a delightful marinade, and fresh spring greens. Wide and diverse range of sake offerings - very impressive to have so many available by the glass or carafe. Our server Amanda was perfect: knowledgable, playful in spirit, patient, good at explaining things, and able to make great recommendations- all while the house was packed! A thoroughly enjoyable dinner, bravo. Beats other sushi restaurants in the surrounding area, hands down.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMTerrific sushi. Ate at anotherTerrific sushi.
