Reviews for Cafe Sakana in Newport Beach, CA
We were a group of 4 and as such able to order a variety of appetizers and rolls off the menu. Everything we had was delicious.... The fish was fresh, serving sizes were great and service was amazing. Read more
Incredibly delicious sushi served up with gracious hospitality in a cute spot. Each time we've gone, we've been treated to... amazing food and service. Everything's good but the specialty rolls are worth a try. Yum yum, we'll be coming back! Update: wemoved out of town but just got back on a visit, 7 months later and this was on the list for our first day. Same great food andamazing service as always. Our server even recognized us which was a nice touch! Read more
First time dining here. Ordered the ?ocean? set which came with edamame, tuna sashimi, two hand rolls and 6 pieces of nigiri... sushi. I also ordered takoyaki as a starter. First off, the takoyaki was crispy on the outside, flavor was good but the insidewas mostly dough and very little octopus (tako). For the sushi set, the salmon was the most disappointing, a bit dry and wasnot fatty or moist like others I?ve had. The sea bream had yuzu chili on top which was tasty. Albacore and yellowtail was good.Nothing really wowed us. For the price of $27 for the set, I thought it was okay. It looked similar to Sugarfish in photos butin reality, it doesn?t compare. I wanted it to melt in my mouth. We did enjoy the ambiance and outdoor seating. Sadly hot teawas not powdered green tea but in a tea bag. Such a shame that the sushi was mediocre. With so many sushi spots around, not sureif I will return. Read more
My wife and I went for Valentines Day. The fish is very fresh and service was great. There is no sushi bar only table service... which we kinda liked. Very tastefully decorated. Only things would change is to add a padded back rest on the long booth. Thepillows are nice but they move around and just not very comfortable. Read more
The Ocean Omakase style sushi experience was wonderful, tasty and reasonably priced. Staff was friendly and professional.... Atmosphere was relaxed. Will come back again soon! Read more
This place has super high quality and fresh sushi. Some of the best sushi I have ever had! I got The Ocean and it was so good!... The meal was expensive for the amount of food you get but the quality justifies the cost. Attached are pictures of what you getwhen you order the Ocean. Read more
Newly opened, family operated sushi restaurant in Newport. I ordered "The Ocean" and everything was fresh and light. I ate... enough but didn't feel heavy/sluggish like after some places that over sauce/flavor their food to compensate for quality. Happyhour menu had good prices. Vegan options available. I accidentally ate the other stuff before I remembered to take quick picsfor a review ¯_(?)_/¯ Read more
