I treated myself to sushi for lunch. I had never been to Sushi Sakana, but I pass by it regularly. I have checked out a couple of other sushi places in the area and have been...underwhelmed. When I try out a new place I typically go for their sushi bento. You get a little variety of things in a charming presentation. I loved that you got to choose your two sides. The sushi and sashimi are set and it comes with a salad, miso soup, and several options to choose from. I got the California roll and the vegetable tempura. They also had shrimp tempura, gyoza, egg rolls, seaweed salad, squid salad, and vegetable croquettes. There were two lovely ladies working the tables and two men behind the sushi counter. There were only about four other tables there when I was, but I did see people coming in for takeout. The service was fast and friendly. I was also pleased to see the chefs behind the sushi bar preparing everything to order. It was so fresh. The sashimi was cut thick and had the perfect texture. The nigiri was not too much for one bite. The tempura was perfectly fried and crunchy, and the salad was cold and refreshing. It was a lot of food and I couldn't finish it. But it was SO satisfying. It felt like a treat. The atmosphere was clean and calm. I very much enjoyed my lunch and I will definitely come back. read more

I really love this particular sushi restaurant. The one in Southlake does an amazing job. It's one of the only places where the hamburgers have more crab than cream cheese.... Sushi is always prepared beautifully and the late staff is wonderful. It's a gorgeous restaurant and it always feels kind of special even though it's kind of small. read more

We came here around noon on a Tuesday. The place was nearly empty, therefore we were seated rather quickly. We had one sushi roll to share (Shaggy dog) and the beef bulgogi with dumpling and fried shrimp. The dumpling and shrimp were just ok, nothing to ride home about. The overall vibe is chill and casual, perfect for almost all occasions. read more

Came back to this restaurant on a Friday and it's lent. Treated myself to a lobster and shrimp hibachi. Now the only thing I will have to say that it needed a ginger dipping sauce or something. They did provide teriyaki sauce but it was too sweet for my liking. Overall it was good. My daughter ordered the ultimate dragon roll sushi which was good. Service was fast and attentive. My water was constantly refilled without asking. I love when the service is attentive. The ambiance was nice. Restaurant was very nice. read more

Came in for the lunch special on a Monday afternoon and I'm so glad I did! The restaurant has a more formal style of atmosphere, but still welcoming enough for a casual meal. I tried the bento box special which entails: miso soup, salad (with your dressing of choice), 2 sides and a base entree. I chose seaweed salad and shrimp tempura as my sides. Bento box lunch special price ranging from approximately $15-24 lish before tax/tip depending on the entree base you choose. The miso soup was served piping hot and was sooo flavorful. Prob the best quality miso I've had! But the teriyaki steak was absolutely the star of the show. So tender and full of good flavor. I was sooo full and satisfied. Service was amazing as well. I was frequently checked on by my server Alisha . She was very kind and professional. Very great lunch deal as I spent ~$21 with tax + tip. Will most definitely be back again to try out other options on the menu! read more

The reviews of this place must be from their own staff or friends... The service is good, but the quality of the sushi (hand roll, sashimi, and rolls) is very mediocre and small-- stingy to say the least. The menu is also outdated and without price. The sashimi is unevenly cut, some very thin, as if they chose which one to cut less on... Unless they update their portion size, I think even half the price is just "acceptable." Overall, this is not a place to eat a complete meal. It's quite sad, disappointing, and unfortunate we left as if we had appetizers for $30 per person. read more

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and declare this place as the best sushi restaurant in Southlake! Never mind that its the only sushi restaurant I've visited in Southlake. But in all seriousness, I've been to plenty of places in neighboring cities and this one really is among the best. So I can see why they have such glowing reviews. We got the spicy edamame and the Yellowtail Heaven as appetizers. The Yellowtail Heaven was so good that we ended up ordering a second one. Then we got the No Problem, Tropicana, Special Dragon, lobster and double tuna rolls along with tuna sashimi. Each one was like a work of art and tasted just as delicious as they were beautiful. I couldn't pick a favorite because everything was so exceptional. Also, they get bonus points for bringing all the rolls out at the same time. I can't remember the last time I went to a sushi place that did that. At the end of our meal they surprised us with a complimentary dessert which I can only describe as a kind of ice cream sandwich, beyond that I don't know what else was in them. What I do know is that they tasted great. The final pleasant surprise was when the bill came. Unlike many other sushi places, our stellar meal actually didn't cost a small fortune. read more

Sushi Sakana rolled out a hand reel on social media (I saw it on IG) featuring their new hand rolls, and I immediately made plans to go try them out. For the price, they were amazing. There was a set of 3 and a set of 5 for $39, I went with the 5 plus an extra one. If you have a chance, definitely worth checking them out for the deal! Our waitress was very attentive, was patient with us while we were deciding, and let us the ins and outs of the menu when we had questions. For a thawed out Thursday night after the ice storm, the restaurant was almost full when I arrived around 6:30pm. read more

I ordered sushi from sushi sakana southlake on UberEats while staying at the Gaylord because it was one of the few places that was open late. I opted for an eel and avocado roll, cucumber roll, and seaweed salad. The eel roll was okay, a little too sweet, but definitely still edible! The cucumber roll was standard (there is no way to mess this up). The salad was not good. After receiving my order, I realized just how much I was overcharged on UberEats, so I'd recommend ordering directly, if you can. read more

My favorite sushi restaurant in the area. I order it way too much from DoorDash. Everything is delicious.

Food was amazing, service was amazing as well. The atmosphere was welcoming and warm. Would recommend to friends and family.

Great atmosphere with chill music. Our server, Alice, was attentive and amazing. She recommended great handrolls and appetizers. The mentaiko handroll and yuzu scallop were my absolute favorite! A 10/10 must try spot in Southlake! read more

Visited this place last weekend for lunch and they had multiple options for bento boxes as well as sushi selection. Food was very fresh and tasty, as well as as service was very prompt. I do highly recommend it, the portions were very generous and filling as well as the cost. The ambiance was what you would expect at a sushi restaurant, which was great. I would highly recommend this place and we would definitely go again. read more

Sushi was decent but the chicken katsu was not crispy at all and some of it was extremely tough. Inedible. Service was extremely inattentive for us while sitting at the bar, but I think the tables received better service. I would not recommend or go back. Definitely go to Nikko down the road if you want good sushi. read more

Went for dinner around 6 pm tonight, and there were only a few tables occupied. We were seated immediately, and our server came right over with menus and a checklist on which we could enter our orders. I had the Fantastic Roll and Spider Roll, and the servings were generous and tasty. My wife had a couple of standard rolls, and they too were satisfying. The pricing is fair, the dining area is very clean, and the service was timely and polite. Too, our orders came out pretty quickly and looked as good as they tasted. Will definitely come back and try other rolls and dishes. A nice, well-priced option if you just want a casual but quality meal. Having eaten in this strip before, I'd caution that parking can require a little patience and hunting during peak hours. read more

Best sushi in town. It was so amazing. I went in alone and sat at the sushi counter. The service was impeccable and the sushi chef gave me many samples to things I have never tried. It was incredible. They have a really good happy hour m-th which is when I went but I highly recommend the baby yellow tail and tropical roll and I will have to come back for the spicy kiss. The staff shared their favorite rolls and none of them disappointed. The atmosphere is very friendly and I have officially found my favorite sushi spot. It was so good I ordered enough to take back to my husband and son!! Yuuummmm read more

As always, amazing. The manager, Esther is always so upbeat and makes us feel special when we drop in. Today was no exception. Rich and I were enjoying our dinner and were almost finished when a friend texted and asked if she, her sister and her niece could join us. I felt awful asking if we could move to a 4 top in the middle of our meal! I felt especially bad because they were so busy! I have never seen that many people I there - good for them! Anyway, the servers reacted beautifully and moved our things to a new table. Things have changed quite a bit in the past year or so, and I truly think it is largely in part of Esther joining as manager. The place settings and flowers are so nice, but I've mentioned that before. Tonight we noticed that their food presentation looked as if they had taken it up a notch as well! Beautiful place, such friendly people, upscale food presentations - I'd say go there now!! read more

Amazing food and service!! This will be a regular spot. Even the house wines were great!

Came in mid week and had a nice dinner. Curry katsu was ok, Definitely needed a fresh element like a side salad. My husband had the ramen and it was ok. We did start with the spicy edamame and the yellowtail Heaven which were good. I would recommend sticking to their sushi and rolls which they have a large selection of something for everyone's liking. I think they were training some new employees as it took long time for someone to seat us or even greet us and none ever checked in on how our meal was, had to flag waiter down for check. read more

This place was great! Friendly staff, clean tables and establishment, and the food was delicious! Spicy Pork Bento: my wife loved this. The pork was tender and packed with flavor. She really loved the miso soup, shrimp tempura and California roll as well Brussel sprouts: I was very surprised by these. They were lightly fried leaves of brussel sprouts and tossed with some kind of sweet and savory soy sauce. They had a light crispy texture and were very addicting. Gyudon: the Gyudon was overall good, although some beef pieces were pretty fatty and hard to chew through. And there was a lot of sauce soaked into the rice. That might be a traditional way of preparing it, not sure, but it could be improved upon in my opinion. Overall, I was satisfied with it, I'd probably just order something else next time. Highly recommend this place! read more

Quality and presentation has gone to crap. Never ever ever coming back. Rolls were falling apart, huge chunks of fish which made it unappetizing and weird to eat, smelled fishy, deep fried roll was way too large of a bite, edamame had zero salt, wonton chips for the sushi tower were stale, and I could go on and on. If I could give it zero stars I would. Honestly gas station sushi might be better... read more

If you're looking for some FRESH & AFFORDABLE SUSHI, look no further!!! I came here with a party of 5 on a weekday around 8pm. It was pretty busy but we were able to get seated right away. It's located on the main street and offers plenty of parking. The quality of the food here is A+++. We got the agedashi tofu, crispy calamari, and takoyaki for the starters. The fried food wasn't overly battered so it wasn't heavy and was the perfect amount of crisp. The sushi was all super fresh and my family said it melted right in their mouths. They have a wide selection of cooked rolls as well! The dragon roll and baked salmon roll was so flavorful and delicious. The service was admirable! Our server and rest of the staff were all super friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is very clean and the interior made it feel like a higher end restaurant than your average local sushi restaurant. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend checking them out! read more

What a pleasant find. My daughter and I discovered this spot by accident. Let's lead with the service - it was great! The staff works as a team. We didn't have a server, we had all of staff. The beef steamed dumplings tasted fresh. The wrapper was thick enough to hold the seasoned filling, but thin enough to allow the dipping sauce to penetrate. The sushi rice could have used a touch more flavor, but it was nice and room temperature-perfect for nigiri. The Valentine sushi, rice-less with a touch of mango, was a delicious discovery. We will be back. Very soon. read more
