Amazing Experience Everytime. The service is top notch Everytime alongside with the elevated dining experience. The food is the best in the Champaign Urbana Area. If you are a student and want to try the best sushi you will have come to sakanaya. Had the dynamite roll and the spicy tuna roll and they taste so fresh and are perfect. Pairing it with the spicy tuna crispy rice is a great duo. Recommend this place highly

My favorite spot on campus! The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff are super friendly. The Dynamite Roll is my personal favorite. The crunch gives the best texture. If you’re craving sushi, Sakanaya definitely the spot.

Got the Playgirl roll, tuna poke bowl, and edamame.
Playgirl roll was gas. So good. 10/10. Tuna poke was ok, nothing special, would still eat it. Edamame was a great starter. Came out piping hot and salty, just what you would ask for.

Sakanaya is a great choice for sushi in Campustown Champaign. The seating is a little tight but the service is excellent. In fact, the service might be a little too fast at times when plates pile up on your table because the earlier courses haven't been finished before the next arrives.
If I have one real criticism it's that some of the servings of sashimi are a little too large. They really should be more bite-sized, especially when you're not cutting them up with a knife and fork. But the quality was pretty high, and the portion size contributes to a sense of good value.

Great sushi on U of I campus. Appreciated the online wait-list and recommend the truffle edamame, the Willis Tower and the spicy crunchy tuna appetizer

Tried various rolls and other entrees with sake. Everything was really good. Lots of options on the menu and all had prices that were very reasonable. We ordered the OMG rolls (shrimp, shrimp tempura) and it came with the best surprise: it was on fire. Literally. It was an unexpected and cool touch and definitely enhanced the experience and dish as the roll got progressively smokier. Very cool seating for a place like Champaign as they have a second entrance with a completely different dining room— as you’ll see in some big city restaurants. Overall a good pick if you’re looking for somewhere nicer. Would recommend making reservations on busier days.
