    Food was delicious. Service was fine. Restaurant was very loud. We had reservation for 2 at the counter and the hostess acted like she had no idea what to do when we arrived. Overall, good place to get some great sushi.

    Sakana Sushi Bar - Rocky RiverResponded on November 4, 2023

    JLuoi, Thank you for taking the time to review Sakana, and for the wonderful rating. On the weekends and on our half priced Tuesdays during peak hours, it is difficult to find a "quiet" spot in the bar area of the restaurant. The bar area has vaulted ceilings, so when everyone is talking, it is louder than usual. We do have another dining area in another room that tends to be less loud. The next time you come in, or put in a reservation, you are able to request to be in our main dining room area. Also, with the weather changing, we generally get very busy around 6pm until 9pm. I have noticed that earlier hours(between 4pm and 6pm, it is a lot quieter. I hope this is helpful. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again soon.

    Food was delicious! Maybe the best calamari I’ve ever had! Sushi and drinks were great. The bar area and high tops have a much better ambiance- we sat in the dining area- it was very nosy. Decorations were blah, and the can lighting was incredibly bright and distracting. I would definitely recommend the bar area for adults. Food was great tho.

    Sakana Sushi Bar - Rocky RiverResponded on September 10, 2023

    Thank you for taking the time to review Sakana and to give your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed the food and serivce. Any time our guests come in, they can request to sit in either the main dining room or in our bar area. They each have very different ambiance. If you do a reservation on open table, just make a note in your seating preferences, and we will do our best to acommodate. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again soon.

    Food was good, service was good, but do not let them sit you in the back dining room, if so you’ll be disappointed

    Sakana Sushi Bar - Rocky RiverResponded on May 28, 2023

    Ricky, Thank you for taking the time to review our restaurant. A lot of our guests request the back dining room, but it has a very different atmosphere/feel than our bar dining area. I have had guests before ask to be moved so they are "a part of the action". It is never a problem to move our guests to another table if we are not at capacity, so in the future, please just let us know and we will do our best to acommodate your request. We appreciate your support. Christen Holden, General Mgr

    We dine at Sakana often and it never disappoints. Their cocktails are amazing (lemongrass margarita is my fav). The have a sushi chef there all the time and they are excellent. My husband always gets the Szechwan Chicken and he says he thinks about it all the time. I love their house salad too. Bonus, is they have a kids and vegan menu! Great weekday specials.

    Nice place. Was not overly busy when arrived, but still a little slow on the service. The restaurant was dirty. Silverware on the floor and it looked as if the floors hadn’t been swept or washed in a couple days. My wife had food on her silverware and a long blonde hair on the cloth napkin. Probably wouldn’t return.
