Cafe Sakana Reviews
The vibe and sushi/bento box were fire 🔥 🔥🔥
Great food. Loved the sushi I ordered. Service was no frills/fast. Would dine again.
Wonderful little restaurant. Great food. I had the crispy rice spicy tina, shishito peppers, and the yellowtail with green onion cut roll. All were great.
