Sushi
A great location in the quiet outskirts of La Cañada, Sakana Sushi Restaurant is the perfect spot to dine after a long day of work in Downtown LA, or the perfect place to enjoy amazing sake and sushi with the company of family and friends. Enjoy the succulent taste of the great Big Eye Tuna with one of our variations of tuna sashimi, or tuna rolls. Feast with our grilled Scottish salmon with vegetables and shrimp tempura. Take delight with a smoke albacore roll topped with jalapeño and of course, enjoy the time with a cold Sapporo. Every plate achieves that elusive, cuisine-defining balance of sweet, salty, and sour — even dessert.

    We had made reservations thru Open Table for 6:30p. When we arrived on time, there was a long line of people waiting, mostly with reservations. They didn’t honor Open Table reservations last night.

    It’s a nice pleasant place. We ended up closing the restaurant down. When they finally started putting up all the chairs, the only and not really negative, but the sizes of fish on the rolls were really small and the tuna roll had a small portion of tuna as compared to other sushi places I have been to. Other than that it was a very enjoyable experience.

    this is my second time at the sushi bar… We had such a great experience the first time we came back a year later. It’s very close to Descanso Gardens. They have quite a few options for sushi rolls, and other sashimi combos. I ordered the red blossom roll, and it was amazing! The only reason I gave it four stars for service is because it can be a little slow at times.

    We really enjoyed our sushi dinner. Sakana is a gem in our foothill community. Dinner was delicious. Sushi was fresh! and beautifully presented. Service was kind and attentive. Though we were there to enjoy dinner- was able to peek at TV for sports scores. Parking is easy

    our first time to have lunch there. very different experience compared to having dinner. they placed us at a table to accommodate a wheelchair guest (my 85 yr old aunt), but too tight, so we couldn't get up from table if we wanted to. service non existent, you have to yell "hello" because we were in the Siberia section of the restaurant. turns out there is a button on the wall to "call" for service, but the server never even bothered to tell us. and not sure if it works anyway. server had an attitude until the Asian manager or another staff helped with our orders. Food quality as good as dinner time - salmon dry and chewy, was my brother's birthday, his first time there (he is from SF) ordered beef bulgogi entree, he hardly touched it - I tasted some - was cold, rubbery and bland. I brought up these issues with the Asian manager/staff - he had not comment. Will never eat lunch there again. Just dinner - you get excellent service, excellent food and excellent seating (not in the Siberia section of the restaurant)

    I was pleasantly surprised by the amount and quality of the food that I received with the Sushi Dinner I ordered. The food was delicious and very fresh as well. However, my brother did not enjoy the beef patty dinner, but that could only be due to personal preferences rather than any fault with the food. There is no doubt in my mind that I will return!

    We have gone to Sakana a few times now, most recently on Mother's Day. Because we made reservations, we were seated quickly when we arrived at the restaurant. The staff is very friendly. Most of our food came within moments of each other except for one dish. We were getting full and had finished everything else so we told the staff that we would like to cancel that order if they had not started working on it yet. They were fine with that. However, they brought the dish over soon after and said it would be on the house. That was very generous of them and we left a extra large gratuity instead. Overall, this is a great option for sushi in the La Canada/La Crescenta area. Highly recommended!

    This is really good sushi and the staff is incredibly friendly. If you are in the area, it is a must try. I only didn’t give it 5 stars because there are sushi spots more deserving of five stars. Still, as neighborhood spots go, this is great.

    The food presentation was fantastic and the customer service was definitely present. I had a reservation and the table was ready before hand with my name on it, ready to go. My only complaint was excess noise from certain tables. That being said, this is not the fault of the restaurant. This was only what I experienced and did not reflect the rating of this great place.

    I alway enjoy coming to Sakana Sushi because the food is very good, fresh, and the portion is very generous. The price is very reasonable as well. The venue is just perfectly decorated and perfect for the crowd. Most importantly, the service (special mention for our server, Jobe) is just excellent! I go there for celebrations most of the time and I bring my own cake as our dessert and they have no problem storing and serving it for us complete with all the serve ware/utensils. Sometimes, other restaurants don't even want us to use their own plates and utensils because the dessert was not purchased through them. But Sakana is very accommodating and helpful. I never hesitate to go to this place as my first option whenever I have a party place to recommend to my friends. Hats off to the Sakana Sushi Staff!
