Reviews for Sky Modern Japanese in Little Rock, AK

I?ve eaten at Sky restaurant for years and the service became poor but food was still good under previous management. The... service is much more efficient with the new owners however a few favorite items are no longer on menu and they charge forhibachi sauces now which is absurd. Their portion of ginger they provide for takeout is tiny and gives only one small containerfor two orders of sushi. Also, order of sushi roles are slimmer quantities as compared to previous mngmt. Hopefully, providingthis review will help to improve this issue as Sky has been my go to for sushi for years. Read more

Clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Only reason they didn't get 5 stars - they didn't have a Hawaiian roll on the menu that I was... craving. Everything we ordered was awesome. Also had fried cheesecake which was great. Read more

Our experience was HORRIBLE!!! Went last nite for our adult daughters birthday. They sat us in a room off to the side. After 15... mins I had to go find someone to see if they forgot us. 10 mins later someone came to our table. Never got refill on drinksuntil I went to ask for one 10 mins before we left & we were there 2 hrs!!! My drink & food wasn?t correct. Never did fix theproblem. My daughter didn?t get the sushi she ordered until we were about to leave Bc they never came back to check on us. Ourfood came out & we had not even gotten our soup & salads yet. There was 1 (ONE) server & the bartender (who was actually servingas a server) for the WHOLE restaurant. There was only 3 tables sat when we arrived & an entire restaurant full when we left. Idon?t care about a sign stating new mgmt, they need to hire & have servers to take care of your customers. This was a badexperience for a special occasion & not good enough for a $200+ meal!!! $25 for hibachi was bad value considering my steak wasWAY over cooked & hard & chicken was hard as well. Very disappointed and will NOT be back. And I will tell everyone I can to noteven bother. There are too many other restaurants in LR to try vs having bad service. Read more

We?ve never been to Sky Japanese restaurant though we frequent other businesses in this area. When we heard that Dessy & Ferry... (who also own Samu, one of our longtime favorite places) took over management of Sky Modern Japanese, OF COURSE, we had to comeand sample the cuisine. We were not disappointed. Sky has sushi, sashimi and hibachi that is as beautiful to look at as it iswonderful to eat. The ambience is also pleasing and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Read more

We love Sky and visit almost once a week, especially ever since new management took over in July. The staff is always so warm... and welcoming and our food is always perfect. The owners also always come around to say hello and treat us like family. Thesushi chefs put so much thought and energy into our meal each time. Would definitely recommend! Read more

Anyone familiar with me knows I am not your run-of-the-mill food critic. I have realistic expectations of waitstaff and very... balanced expectations of food quality. I have however as a regular and very much frequent patron of this establishment come toexpect a certain quality of both food and service of which was sub par this evening. Before we discount this establishmenthowever let me iterate a few recent changes to Sky. On 7 july 2022 Sky Modern Japanese opened under new management and anentirely new staff. As of today this restaurant has only had 2 solid days of new operating continuity. As such this scathingreview only reflects this restaurant as a newborn establishment and I take this into account and am eager and hopeful to witnessits re-growth to my previous 5 star ratings prior to the management regime change. So to quantify my 3 star rating for thisevening's experience I would first like to begin by pointing out the eagerness and professionalism of my great server Alex thisevening. As he is new here to Sky I afford understanding to his lack of familiarity with menu items and names as well asuncertainty of item availability so for this I only say practice and repititon makes perfect. The menu items and availabilityhas changed, however items that have been commonplace until now, even as of my most recent visit, are suddenly noted to be"unavailabe in Arkansas" (Uni is what I speak of) maybe simply due to a lack of supply ordering continuity by new management. Asfor food quality I have no gripes in taste, however as sushi is supposed to include an element or simplicity and minimalism Iwas disappointed to find my Chirashi dish was adorned/garnished with an entire full salad worth of lettuce and greens, thuscomplicating an otherwise dish. Finding my sashimi among the greens reminded me of beating the bushes to flush rabbits out as achild. However I digress, I expect the potential of this new management to someday return this restaurant to is former 5 Read more

The service was excellent. The manager was so friendly. The sushi was fantastic. I tried the Rocky mountain roll with no... crunchy and they carry gluten free soy sauce. My 7 year old ordered hibachi and loved it but also ended up eating his own littletuna roll. Read more

Best clear soup I've ever had! The rice was also better than any other I've had. The scallops were good and the service was... great too! Read more
