When I first moved to Hicksville, I really enjoyed ordering from Sakana. My last order which was last month unfortunately had gotten me sick. That resulted in the 2 star review instead of 5. I'm not a fan of their Thai food selection but I did love their sushi and American Chinese dishes. Unfortunately, the sushi had made me sick. It was my first time ordering Salmon Don and that was delicious! Surprisingly, the salmon was very fresh. Unfortunately, their other sushi rolls (spicy tuna and spicy salmon) was not fresh. It tasted as if the fish had gone really bad. It's a shame because that was never a problem for me. Their Chinese food is good compared to most places I've tried surrounding the Hicksville area. My family loves their General Tso's chicken, chow fun (shrimp, house, pork), beef and broccoli combination, boneless spare ribs. They have a decent lunch menu for both Chinese food and Japanese food. Their pad Thai isn't that great and I've tried it a few times in hopes of having a different outcome on the flavor. Their appetizers aren't bad but please note that their fried food...is extremely oily. The staff is very nice and friendly. If I'm unable to order from the restaurant, then I order from the Beyond Menu app. There's a significant difference in cost compared to ordering from Uber eats and/or DoorDash. After my last experience with my order, I highly doubt I'll ever order from here this year. When I finally do go back, I'll update this review.

I was not impressed with Sakana sushi rolls. Food is better at other Japanese restaurants like Mizumi.

The owners were very kind and welcoming. The food tasted amazing and was served fast . Though there wouldn't be many dine in seats but was pleasantly surprised with an entire cozy dine in area.

Sakana is fantastic and never fails to deliver. We order takeout once a week if not more frequently and the sushi is always fresh and best of all it’s extremely consistent. Cindy is amazing and works hard to make sure orders are correct and made on time. This is our go to when we have guests and have only positive things to say about the food! I love that they have Japanese as well as Chinese, nothing like a few california rolls, some shrimp tempura, and some general Tao Chicken- always a hit!! Can’t recommend this family owned business enough!

Though the place is not fancy sushi, it's our go to for my children and their friends when they come over. Their sushi platter is great but their Chinese food is also very delicious. The owner Cindy is the best. Always friendly with great service.

We go here once a week at least. Dining at Sakana is a bit like being an explorer in an uncharted sea – you’re never quite sure what exotic delights you'll encounter, but you're certain it will be an adventure. This evening's foray into the culinary deep was no exception, featuring a smorgasbord of sushi, sashimi, and specialty rolls that would make even the most seasoned sushi aficionado raise their eyebrows in intrigue.The star of the show, without a doubt, was the Golden Dragon Roll. It arrived at our table with the kind of flourish that would have made even a peacock jealous, and for good reason. This roll wasn't just food; it was a culinary masterpiece, a symphony of flavors wrapped in a seaweed baton. The first bite was akin to finding an unexpected tenner in an old coat pocket – a delightful surprise that leaves you grinning from ear to ear.Each piece of sushi and sashimi was so fresh, I half expected it to leap from the plate and perform a spirited rendition of 'Under the Sea'. The rice was as perfectly seasoned as a Shakespearean monologue, and the fish – oh, the fish! It was as tender and flavorful as a love ballad.In the hands of lesser chefs, a plate of sushi can be just a meal, but at Sakana, it's a journey. A journey through the oceans of the world, without the inconvenience of seasickness. The Golden Dragon Roll, in particular, was a magic carpet ride over the culinary landscape, leaving us not just satisfied, but utterly enchanted.As we left, I couldn't help but feel a little like Columbus must have felt when he returned from the New World. We had ventured into the unknown, tasted its wonders, and returned home, our palates forever changed. Sakana, you have not just fed us; you have enriched our very souls. Bravo!

Cindy is a great person. She’s always happy and wants you to be full from their food they make. It’s nice and clean from what I experienced the three times I’ve been.
Very family oriented restaurant. Have both japanese and Chinese food menu. Sushi and Sashimi is pretty decent. Sushi could had be bigger and sashimi cut be thicker. We ordered a love boat for 2, as well as the sushi/sashimi for 1 as well as some other food.

My co workers recommended this spot and to be honest— the food was just really generic. The staff was lovely but the food just did NOT hit. Sadly I will not be eating from here again.

Best Asian food ever !!!!! Hands-down do you want to spareribs extra sauce OMG and pineapple chicken ? is off the charts. The service
Unbelievably disappointed after reading such great reviews. What is moo shu without the pancake,hoisin sauce or plum sauce. None were included in my order.I ordered the chicken nuggets in addition to hit the delivery minimum of $25. 6 pieces of Frozen nuggets for $10 seems exorbitant.The wonton soup was okay.
Always on target. Thank you !
