Sakanaya

My favorite spot on campus! The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff are super friendly. The Dynamite Roll is my personal favorite. The crunch gives the best texture. If you’re craving sushi, Sakanaya definitely the spot.

Got the Playgirl roll, tuna poke bowl, and edamame. Playgirl roll was gas. So good. 10/10. Tuna poke was ok, nothing special, would still eat it. Edamame was a great starter. Came out piping hot and salty, just what you would ask for.

Great experience! The rolls were huge and tasty. The server was also very quick and always ready to help us out if we needed anything. We had a group of 6 and they were very accommodating for us and split the bill perfectly.

Had a great time at Sakanaya! I got the Kamikaze Roll and it was super tasty—really fresh and full of flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The vibe in the restaurant was really chill and inviting too, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for good sushi and a nice spot to hang out.

Sakanaya remains a nostalgic favorite from college days. The Willis Tower roll was just as satisfying as ever, layered with unique flavors and textures in every bite. The Aburi nigiri, especially the seared scallop and salmon, were rich and flavorful with a nice char, though the sushi rice could have used a touch more vinegar and softness. Overall a solid and enjoyable experience, and always a treat to revisit while on campus.

The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was crowded. As for the food, the miso soup had a rich flavor, but the pork cutlet was slightly overcooked and the meat was a bit tough. The rice was somewhat soft and tender.

OH I LOVED IT. My boyfriend and I got the "i love salmon" and the volcano roll. The portions were huge and beautifully presented. Lots of big fish pieces!
