Sakana Sushi & Grill - La Cañada Flintridge, California

Awesome spot here! Been a couple times, and the staff has always been amazing! Sushi is tasty, and the portions are great! The prices seem a bit high at first glance, but in relation to the portions, it is a bargain! The teriyaki plates are bento box style, and the box sections are large!! It’s great. The special rolls are very tasty. The food presentation is lovely. The atmosphere/decor is very modern, minimalist, and cool. The parking lot is small, but is free and always seems to work out.

Highly recommend! We got sushi nigiri, chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, garlic pepper shrimp, sashimi, and the forbidden roll. The teriyaki plates come with CA roll/spicy tuna, mixed tempura salad, orange, rice, miso soup, and another sushi dish.

We have gone off hours (2-4ish); never a wait, and pretty quiet.

This exquisite Japanese sushi restaurant is nestled between Montrose and LaCanada on Foothill drive. The staff is just awesome and so welcoming. One of the freshest selection of sashimi and sushi I've seen... Probably more so for this area. They also have many Japanese inspired dishes and many rolls to explore.

If their food doesn't blow you away I'm sure the fried tempura ice cream will. Oooh... Don't forget the ice cold beer served on frozen mugs. One of the most refreshing beer experience, period!

Parking is plenty and kids have lots of choices other than sushi. Definitely a family friendly restaurant.

By luck of google i believe I’ve found my new favorite sushi place hands down. We came in here midday for a late lunch and were greeted with friendly chefs and welcoming wait staff. Every order of sushi was perfectly balanced and fresh and even their rolls were tasty and not overflowing with rice. We will definitely be coming back to try more items on their menu and see what else they will surprise us with. Highly recommend !

I LOVE Sakana. I first tried it right after re-opening from the lockdown and they were doing bogo rolls and I absolutely loved their spicy tuna rolls.

Today, honestly, it was my first time dining in and I cannot believe I went this long without trying anything else.

Here's a list of everything my friends and I ate today:

Sashimi 40. $140. Giant sashimi platter. Super fresh and delicious fish. Varies per order.
Red Blossom Roll 10/10
Radish Roll 8/10
These two are non-rice rolls.

Spicy Tuna Roll 10/10
Crispy Tuna 10/10
Baked Salmon Roll 10/10
Shrimp Tempura Roll 9/10
On the House Roll 10/10. Made special for us by the chefs because we ordered a lot of food and drinks hehe

Special rolls are around $20, and regular rolls are about $10 each.

Service and food 10/10!!!

Update: My lovely bride and I went here for anniversary last night. It was calm we're able to be seated right away. The servings were abundant. For the price we got a great deal of food. We had a wonderful time, the service was excellent. Once again highly recommended.

Very busy on Valentine's Day. The reservation system on the app must have gotten overloaded because everyone who had a reservation was told to put their name on the list and would be served in order. Even with that we were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation. The staff was very helpful and covered for each other in a difficult situation. We look forward to going back there and trying not on a holiday. The prices are a little bit High but the servings are huge. We all came home with at least one meal more to enjoy at home. I would recommend this restaurant

It’s a cute and comfortable place to have a sushi and grill, the menu us actually good, specially when you going with a big group of friends, they have everything for each taste!

Great sushi, better prices. They currently have a 50% off promotion during covid so i try to order from them once a week. Can’t go wrong with any of the specialty rolls. I always try to throw in some extra CA rolls because it’s so cheap I usually eat a lot. Only problem is that the wait on the weekend can be anywhere from 45min - 1.5hrs. Just call in the order before you get too hungry.
