I came in after the gym to crush some lunchtime sushi by myself. I was sat at the bar, and right away my waitress was a bit distracted and walked away without getting me a menu. She did drop off an appetizer menu and I checked the seaweed salad. No worries, the sushi chef asked me right off the bat what type of fish I like, I said salmon, tuna, and yellowtail, and he got me a round of sashimi to get me eating. I told him I also love some unagi, and that popped up quickly as well. It wasn't until I'd already eaten much of the food he'd gotten me that he asked if I had a menu, then called for the waitress to hunt one down for me. She was apologetic, and I ordered green tea with her. I start ordering rolls from my chef, and he even pulls a roll out based on my previous interests. Banger! Love it. But eventually I have to flag down another waitress as I don't even have a water yet. I also hadn't been given my green tea or seaweed salad, and we're like 20min into service. New waitress gets me my water, and I'm still slamming awesome rolls from my man behind the bar. He's just killing it. I'm starting to slow down and my seaweed salad and green tea finally show up, and now the first waitress seems to be around more. At no point did I feel like the place was slammed, but I recognize that things happen. Ultimately, I loved the food. The salmon was such good quality, and each roll tasted distinct and was crafted effectively. I have to take a star off for the inconsistent service, something that you generally don't encounter when you're sitting at the bar, otherwise I'll be happy to come by again.

I recently dined at Sakana Sushi in Reno and had a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting, with a soothing atmosphere and friendly staff. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the sushi. Oh, it was divine! Each piece was crafted with care, showcasing fresh ingredients and expert technique. The variety on the menu ensured there was something for everyone, from traditional rolls to inventive specialties. I particularly enjoyed the sashimi platter; the fish practically melted in my mouth. Beyond the sushi, the service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our needs were promptly met. Overall, Sakana Sushi exceeded my expectations and left me eager to return for another delightful meal. If you're a sushi lover in Reno, don't miss out on this gem!

~My second Sushi review~ Note: For groups of 4 or more they automatically add a 20% gratuity to the check (correct me if I'm wrong please) . Service for my partner and I was Excellent, our server was very thoughtful (young lady around her early 20s) . Our food tasted fresh and they do their portions just how I like it.... Lots of fish with a little bit of rice (regular rolls). I had been anticipating eating here for about a month and they didn't disappoint. Finally, I went around Lunch time so the room was quiet, the music is good, and I never felt rushed. Expect to pay around $70 for two people and all you can eat. I can't wait to go back!!!!

WOW I CANT BELIEVE I LIVE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THIS AMAZING SUSHI PLACE LIKE WHAT THE HECK MAN! PLEASE RUN IMMEDIATELY! The food is so good so fresh. My favorites are THE LION KING AND THE CTHD!!! The lion king has a sesame oil drizzle that is perfection! The service can be a little better seems like they need more help from the sign outside but not complaining since there wasn't really anyone there on a Monday night. The place is beautiful and cozy so you'll definitely enjoy your meal here! Come check it out immediately!!!!

Came here for an order of salmon nigiri and the chashu ramen. The salmon was good, fairly standard. The chashu ramen with a soy sauce based broth was really yummy! Excellent ajitama and noodles. The pork belly was just good, not spectacular, but with the broth and other toppings, this was a delicious dish! Some of the better ramen in Reno, but I was sort of sad there wasn't any tonkotsu ramen. Kind of an odd environment, but it appears this may be due to renovations or moving things around. It's a bummer that you can't sit at the bar right now, but if you sit in the front section, you can still watch them making the sushi. Saw some sushi going out in wooden boats, which were adorable. Bare bones staff, so service is just a bit slow, but they clearly work their butts off, so it's OK.
