Sakanaya Japanese Restaurant in Fresno

We had a great time here at Sakanaya! Ann and her entire team bring not just dinner to your table, but an enveloping experience as well. My favorite thing, while watching the tables idea chef work his magic, is watching the reaction on folks faces. The food was excellent! My wife and I chose the dinner for two so that we could sample several entrees. I highly recommend.

Have been here now a handful of times and I absolutely love it here. We sit at the sushi bar and everything is perfect and delicious! Presentation and freshness this place has it all.

I love being pampered. The chef at the sushi restaurant really did so. The beer was cold cold cold and delicious and went very well with my sashimi. Loved it

We reserved a sweet 15 dinner at this place and the the servers and just the atmosphere was appalling. They had us wait more then hour just for water before they took our drink orders. Regardless of the fact that they took this long the servers humiliated my guest, over charged them and failed miserably at making my daughter’s sweet 15 dinner an awesome experience.I do not recommend this place. They attended every small group leave but with us they were very poorly prepared!!!Please don’t book them if you have a large group of people. They are not equipped or trained for that!Many of our guests left because of the high heated room and lack of service!!Yet they still demanded a 18% gratuity charge!!

Everyone and their mom needs to try the Firecracker Jalapenos appetizer. Its cut up pieces of deep fried jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese and crab meat and topped in some tasty sweet spicy drizzle sauce. Soo good. Usually, dine in service is great. (I think I had a brand new server last time as our table was unattended for a really long time before ordering entrees after drinks and apps. Thats not my usual experience though.)

It was just okay. Was looking for something to compare to my favorite teppanyaki place in San Diego and it just fell short of that. The food was decent tho. The hot sake got me drunk so that’s good lol. Sushi was not it either.

No reservation needed for party of 4; there is ample parking and its shared with other businesses; we were accommodated very quickly at 7pm on a Sunday, the cutlery, tables and floor are clean although their plates are chipped; the sauces are clean and filled up; there is a good amount of distance between tables and a few fake plants, which Im not really a fan of; the place is loud due to their tepanyaki section; this restaurant is also close to other restaurants and cafes; this place is in the wealthy side of town so it attracts that kind of crowd and it also reflects in their menu; they dont have a lot in the menu, just 2 pages. Food presentation is generally good except for the salmon skin roll which just disintegrated the moment I lifted it.Price to value ratio: I can get the same quality of food and presentation just a few minutes from here at a lower cost.

Amazing staff and amazing food!! Lunch and dinner would be my first go to every-time!! Love the environment so lively and amazing for the whole family!! The boss Ann is classy and funny and is an amazing owner she makes everyone fell welcome to the Sakayana family!!

Amazing! The service and food where awesome. Our chef was entertaining and a great cook. Wife has the spicy chicken and I had the teriyaki steak.

Solid Teppanyaki, and great atmosphere. Didn’t have to wait in line for hours like other places. Service was great and the chefs were a lot of fun!
