everything we tried was 1000/10!! the crispy rice was hands down the show stopper, but the spicy edamame, gyoza, and brussel sprouts were all great apps to share. I got the melon roll and it was delicious. All of the drinks were fantastic but my favorite was the lychee revival. everything came out so fast & our server was attentive and funny. we'll definitely be back!

Truffled Miso Soup was delicious. The Ginko Roll was beautifully displayed and melted in my mouth. Great service and the best sushi I’ve had.

Sakana is my go-to place for sushi. The sushi is made-to-order by an incredible staff. Grab a seat at the sushi bar and enjoy dinner and a show! The service has always been great. The waitstaff is knowledgable and friendly.

The only issue is they jammed two individual parties in one table. Two of the people in our party were not even by grill. The chefs cart actually sat right in from of them. Food was great and based on the cost of eating out in today’s high prices they were very reasonable for what you get.

This was by far the best hibachi experience we've had in DECADES! Actually, I'd say it was the best overall dining out experience we've had in years, as well (including cruise ships)! My crabby teenager was even smiling and at the end of the meal told them it was amazing! The service was exceptional! Derek was extremely attentive. He seemed one step ahead of us, knowing what we needed before we did. Chef Rick was absolutely fabulous! He was funny, friendly, and combined the usual "show" that we've gotten accustomed to, with some fun new surprises. He even got my teen smiling and laughing. The food was delicious!!!!

We were 5 for dinner including 2 children. We alerted the restaurant and hibachi servers about 2 of us with shellfish allergies so they took particular care to prepare our chicken teriyaki before the shrimp and scallop options. My mushrooms, vegetables, and Chicken Teriyaki was delicious. The cook was friendly and fun and quite skilled.
