We were disappointed with the service, we were celebrating a birthday and our waiter did not come back to inquire if we wanted another drink or a refill on the hot tea. The food was great as always but the service we below par. We have had much better experiences at Sakana prior to our dinner on 3/21/18.

Very poor, waiter was the best thing at the restaurant. No one could figure out how to give us credit for our visit. On another occasion they charged our credit card for two tables, hot food not hot yet greasy and rest was bland.

We only had sushi and Udon, so I can't speak to the broader menu. I will say they have an unusual mix that gives far more options than the typical Japanese/sushi joint if you have someone in your group who isn't a Sushi lover. For the Sushi lovers, our groups reaction was "good, not great". The presentation was very good. The selection very good. The flavors were good, but not quite what we've seen other places. All in all a very good meal but not "special ocassion" level.

I had made reservations at 6:30pm on a Saturday and once my boyfriend and I got there, they were super busy and we had to wait an additional 5-10 minutes for a table. I was fine with it but the waiting area was pretty small and tight, not a ton of room for all the people waiting for tables. Once we were seated, the waiter was great. He came and checked on us a few times before we decided on what to order. The food was good for the prices but beware, the ambiance of this place is LOUD. It was very lively and you could tell people were having a good time. There were parties of all ages and a few crying babies, but overall this is somewhere I would most definitely dine again!

Though the food was good. The restaurant was not ready for the evening. This small restaurant had 10 reservations for 7pm alone, with 10 others coming in every 15 minutes. They also did not have enough wait staff. We got there at 7 and did not get seated until 7:40. It was another 20 minutes before we were served drinks and about an hour later we got our food. This was not because our server was slow... the food was slow and they didn’t have enough folks working. Everything was so slow that we did not leave the restaurant until after 10. This was not because we were having such a fantastic time... it’s because we had to WAIT and WAIT and WAIT for everything. This is not the first time I had this problem here. And believe me, it’s NO BETTER at lunch.

The fish here us always fresh, very generous cuts (usually) as well. We frequent Sakana due to the quality of the food, and also the amazing service. We are regular diners, and the entire wait staff and owner all greet us by name (NORM!) The salmon is top notch The 'secret' menu needs to be requested to see a wider selection of special rolls. Eating at the bar is the way to go, just don't sit in my spot!

It was Christmas Eve. Service is normally very good, but this time it was not. Waited a very long time for our sushi even though it was not busy. Waiter forgot our miso soup.
