Hard to put into words just how wonderful the omakase experience at Sakana was. Every course a surprising and tasty bite. Cannot be overstated how much this is a step up from "normal" sushi, the chef was preparing things I didn't even know existed, but are now my favorite fish to eat. Exemplary.
Wow! This place is amazing! It felt like every bite was better than the next! Every detail was thought out and the chefs were incredible in how they made and presented each dish. Chef Naohiro was friendly and we enjoyed learning about the details of the dishes. The flavors were exquisite. The service was impeccable- it’s byob and the service staff were always ready to refill your drinks. This was one of the best meals of my life. I can’t wait to go back!
This place is very modern and simple. It has ambient music playing in the background and feels like you are at a spa. It was very peaceful.
The food was fantastic! I loved everything. Don’t be hoping for anything specific though. I had read about wagyu and an Umj bowl but we didn’t have either of those. But if you love amazing nigiri you will like everything. Best sushi i have ever had!
The waitresses were amazing and didn't let our drinks sit empty. They were so nice!
It was my first omakase experience and i had read they would ask us about what we like and tell us more about the food. They didn’t talk to us at all besides the name of each course. Im sure i could have asked more questions but the chef didn't really offer. Not a big deal. Maybe thats normal but other reviews mentioned that more.
OMG! Food was amazing and never had a taste of good sushi until me and my family ate there. Our chef was amazing and skilled at what he does and very helpful with whatever curious question we have in how he did prep work before having us taste the food. My sister brought her baby and they were very accommodating to the baby and parents. I and my family will definitely be back.
Literally the best meal I’ve had in my entire life. I’m not joking. A complete 10/10. I had my doubts coming in but it was worth absolutely every penny and then some. I’d come back again in a heart beat. One of the sushi chefs was a little bit quiet/not interactive but honestly they’re both artists and I’m so pleased with how good the meal is. Fresh fish flown in from Japan every day.
A little piece of Japan in Philly.
Every part of the omakase gets better and tastier as the dinner progresses. I enjoyed watching the Chef prepare the food in front of me, and he was a pleasure to speak with.
The whole experience just brought me back to Japan all over again
ありがとうございます ！
Personally, I think it is the best Omakase I’ve had in Philly. From the appetizers to the dessert, every dish is amazing. The whole experience is very good, each piece carefully prepared by the chef and has its unique taste. My favorite is the Monster Wagyu Uni, very satisfying! I will definitely bring my friends and family back to eat again.
This was my first Omakase experience ever and Sakana set a very high bar! The entire meal was a delight! Each bite was a journey of its own and the chefs were so engaged and informative making it an experience beyond any expectations I had! The whole experience took just under 2 hours from start to finish and the food was out of this world. The complimentary flavors created an almost out of body experience and intense euphoria.
Impeccable service,food, and passion was on full display tonight. Chef Nao was truly an artist with his sushi skills tonight. We had 15 pieces of sushi tonight along with appetizers, a futomaki roll and dessert. I've been to Japan and had many types of sushi and tonight I've had a few types of sushi that not only have I never seen but certainly never had before. This was an amazing birthday treat by my wife and we certainly plan to return soon!
Simple and elegant interior, excellent selection of fresh fish well prepared, courteous and attentive service, and good discussions about the menu and life with the chef. Everything I could want in an omakase. Worth the price. I will be back for sure.
