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.

Horrible experience. Had a reservation and still had to wait an hour to be seated. Ridiculous.

We arrived at 615 for a 630 reservation. The place was packed with a line for fine in and take out. Staff was nice but very overwhelmed as the phone was ringing also. When seated we were greeted and served drinks promptly. We waited a bit longer for appetizers and mains. The table was so small we were constantly shifting plates around and consolidating. Overall the food prep was standard with presentation rushed. Two things to note: First, do not be enchanted by the use of the words “lobster” or “baby lobster”, read the full description to find “crawfish”. Second, my greatest disappointment was the imitation crab. Lastly the use of mayonnaise was too heavy for my taste and interfered with the fresh taste of the food.

Really on all levels, this is a very middling establishment. Somewhat plain and perfunctory decor, service is friendly but not very attentive, and the cuisine is ok but certainly not anything special.

We made a reservation on Open Table for 7:30 and when we get there they say they do not use this service. They they did not do anything even after showing them the reservation and said it was an hour wait. What a joke. Remove yourself from this service if you are not using it and make people drive 35 minutes away for nothing.
