    We moved here from the south a couple of years ago. We find it incredible that there is a severe lack of quality sushi restaurants here. So, we had high hopes that Sakana would be the answer as the ratings are so high. We live close by so it would be bonus if it actually fit the bill. Unfortunately, it didn't. They have a habit of drenching things in sauces-pink, green- all colors and kinds. The rice is wet and falls apart. There are two items on the menu list over the bar that we order and are good ( basil, truffle?) But we have decided to stop giving it chances... we've been there about 5 times. The atmosphere is cramped and dark. The best part is very friendly service , they are really lovely people...that's why it's taken me so long to do this review.

    A fantastic little sushi restaurant tucked away. The speciality rolls were amazing, very fresh and unique. The assorted of wine and sake was long and the waitress was extremely helpful in picking the perfect sake. Don't forget desert! I would highly recommend this to any sushi lover.

    Fantastic sushi in CA for reasonable prices. If you are looking for something small and intimate with authentic sushi cuisine, this is the place for you! Recommended would be the Poke - combine that with some white rice and you're golden. Stunning sushi; no doubt.

    Tiny spot for great sushi. Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but definitely worth going. We waited about 45 minutes for table on a Saturday night but was able to order drinks while we waited.

    Busy, vast selection of choices, good service, but way too much sauce on everything.
