Just discovered this gem on our last trip to Pomona, looking for a quick and lighter meal on our last night (so hot). Three rolls with a tip and tax were $67 - they were light, delicious and fresh! We picked up our order so I'm not sure about ambiance but I can tell you that I would eat here again the next time I'm in town- great quality and value and so yummy!! read more

As always service is great and the fish is very fresh. One of my go to places. The sashimi yellowtail, tuna, salmon, fluke are all exceptionally good. The cocktails are amazing... read more

Flew into town to celebrate a birthday, visit family, and do some sightseeing. We decided on this restaurant. There is not a lot of space, but it was certainly just right for our family dinner. We did not expect the restaurant to be in a "shopping plaza," but that is ok. The customer service was top notch and the food was tasty. From the appetizers to the entrees, we all enjoyed our meals. Note, the menu is expansive - so there were loads of choices! We were also able to bring in a "birthday cake"; they were nice enough to cut it and serve it to us. read more

This place was average. You know what you are going to get...it won't wow you but it won't be too bad either. We stopped by here randomly looking for a place off the highway. Clean interior. Relatively friendly service. We were by far the youngest people in the place...seemed to be a lot of older regulars there. My pad thai was ok; tender chix but was missing some of the usual tanginess you would expect. Decent portion though. My kid thought his chix tempura was ok. My wife had an udon soup that was also...you guessed it...ok. read more

We have been going here for decades and keep going back. We have yet to find any other restaurant that has such a variety of interesting sushi rolls. The service is excellent. Best sushi in Rockland. read more

The food was fine. Not stellar but satisfactory. What really bothered me was the service. It was early in the evening and there were only a few customers. No one was waiting for a table. My friend was sharing a long story so I finished eating before she had a chance to consume much of her dinner. The waitress--maybe the manager/owner said to my friend I'll get you a box to wrap up your food. I told her my friend wasn't finished eating. She said to my friend, well your friend is done. The woman brought over a box for her food. I said again, she isn't done eating and I took the wrappings and moved them to the side so my friend didn't have to stare at that while she ate. I said to my friend, don't let her intimidate you--you're not done because you were sharing a story. Please enjoy your dinner. The woman did not return to the table but my friend felt a bit bullied. We will not be returning. read more

Best sushi in Rockland County. Fish is very fresh. Service is excellent. What more to ask for in a local restaurant.

I was looking for a new place after my favorite Sushi place, Momoyama, closed. Normally I now drive to Orangeburg to Hikaru, which is excellent, but just discovered this place in a local mall. What a disappointment. I had the chicken Katsu lunch box with a sushi appetizer. The sushi was disappointing and the rice fell apart. The katsu was too thin and the crust fell apart. Even the typical dressing on the salad was watery. The side dish of rice was tasteless. I so wanted this place to be good, but it looks like I'll be driving to Hikaru from now on. Not recommended. read more

Food was great but service needs work. Portions were not enough to share. Atmosphere is beautiful. Covid guidelines are followed to the letter. The wait time for rounds, the sushi and the check were a bit unreasonable - considering the restaurant wasn't near capacity. The sushi was delicious. I'm not a huge fan of their fried ice-cream, but the little guy at all so I must add it was kid approved. I'd recommend this place for a bite of you have time on your hands, you're not too hungry and you just want to go for "a drink" in the literal sense. Otherwise, I'd check my options. read more

Ordered 5 sushi rolls. 3 of them fell a part. They were small and very messy, I have sushi at least once aweek ftom another restaurant which cannot compare to what we were served at this one. Spoke to the manager and he chose to disregard my complaint. Will never go back. read more

This is a small Japanese restaurant in Rockland Plaza (the strip mall across from the Nanuet Mall where Barnes and Noble and Marshall's are. It is between the two building a little behind Starbucks.) They have a small bar, a number of booths and tables and a sushi bar for seating. The servers were nice and attentive. They had a lot of options on their menu from sushi to noodles to appetizers. So you could come here if someone in your party isn't a fan of sushi or fish as well. The gyoza were pretty good. I got them pan fried and I also liked my Ocean Roll. I Happy that they have soy paper and not just seaweed for the cut rolls. read more

Good food, good service, good sake! Thom Kha for her, Basil Chicken for me. Love this place.

Sakana is Amazing!!!!! I lived in New York City for 10 years and I've been to some of the Top Spots, But they usually aren't as Fresh as Sakana. Sakana has a wide variety of Fish and Many Special Chef's Rolls. They have Party Trays so when I have a large family gathering it's really easy to please everyone. Their Tuna and Yellowtail and Salmon are A+++. So happy I found this place. Really Amazing Sushi and Sashimi read more

Lunch time is very quite here. Looks like a husband and wife establishment. Had the bulgogi box. This had been bulgogi, seaseme rice, shrimp dumplings, salad and California rolls. Bulgogi was ok (have had better) but still good. Rolls and everything was good. No complaints. Will stop by to try their other dishes. read more

Pros: huge creative menu - a lot of different cultures here (the couple next to me ordered Pad Thai...) so if you want some modern fusion stuff, come here. Food is tasty and fish is fresh. Cons: it's pricey. I came by myself and ordered a seaweed salad, sashimi appetizer, and one roll and it came to $32.50 before tip. The roll I ordered was a naruto roll (no rice, it's wrapped in cucumber instead), which was very tasty but it was SO BIG. I am a pretty skilled chopstick user and this just did not want to be picked up, nor could I fit it in my mouth. It was definitely three bites worth for each piece, which meant it fell apart terribly. I've had naruto rolls before and they're not the easiest to eat, but this was ridiculous. read more

Service is excellent, sushi is superb, cooked dishes for those not into fish, fully stocked bar with wide assortment of beers, ambiance is inviting, bathrooms are spotless and there's a gong to bang whenever there's something good you'd like celebrate. I've been going for years and never had one bad experience. Sakana is my version of "Cheers". I usually sit at sushi bar with my wife, but we get a booth or table when we go with family and friends. When I can't dine in we order take out. The care and preparation is top notch. The thoughtfulness they put into every aspect of the business is truly professional and commendable. Even starting with a basket of individually packaged wet wipes and ending with wrapped candies as you exit. Experiencing Sakana is a food and cultural experience. Enjoy! read more

Have been here several times in the past, but never really liked it. Fast forward several years later, we wanted to try a new sushi place and it was actually very good. We tried a few apps and rolls, and we enjoyed just about everything. For starters, the soft shell crab salad app was up my alley, cooked perfect, really spicy with their mayo sauce, on a bed of seaweed salad; a nice combination of crunchy, sweet, and spicy. I was not a fan of their Chilean seabass app, which is fried FYI, but the gf liked it so well say it's worthy. House salad and ginger sauce is typical of what you find anywhere, however they give you the salad and ginger sauce (a lot of it) in two separate bowls, so you put in the amount you want. This was a win because i like more sauce and the gf likes less, plus a single serving is actually a lot of greens. For the rolls, must try the Godzilla roll, but it is spicy. They do it the right here, most places that have a Godzilla roll suck, but this here was beautifully plated, and delicious. You get 6 pieces. Their Godzilla is second to the now closed Akira, but still very good. The regular hand rolls are really fresh and delicious, and get 6 pieces a roll. The roll I didn't like was the 145 roll; just too plain where the main ingredient in the menu is eel, but they give you mostly imitation crab, and very little eel. This was a let down, and only 5 pieces, you are better off getting an eel and avocado roll. The outside doesnt look like much, but inside is a cute little place, dark decor, clean bathrooms (but those need some scrubbing love too), good food, good service, and a nice fish tank. Sit up at the bar if you feel like watching the action up close. Would come here again. read more

Overall this is my favorite local Sushi place. I try to sit and the bar and soak in the mastery that the sushi chefs here display. The assortment of rolls here are great and here are some of my favorites: Godzilla, Fulton Market, Kimono, Bounty Hunter (sometimes hit or miss), Ocean...what will yours be? I also like the baby octopus appetizer if you are interested in something different and delicious. They are not chewy at all and you will love it. read more

The food here is amazing. However it's pricy and the staff is rude. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, dim lights, booths and tables, nice bar display. Next door they are opening Sakana Lounge which I'm sure will draw in more customers. The sushi is stuffed with good quality fish and the portions, including appetizers are quite huge. I recommend the red bean ice cream. I thought it was strange that they didn't have bento boxes although they did have it only for the lunch menu. When we asked if we could get the bento box they said it's not lunch anymore-usually you just add a few more dollars for the dinner menu but they didn't want to. One waitress was very rude-when we asked for some napkins she turned around and sternly said, "WHAT" and walked away. I think they all need some lessons in etiquette. We happily left with a 5 dollar tip for a 70 dollar meal. Beat that nasty waitress. read more

Recently visited Sakana since I was in the area and thought I'd visit an old favorite. 6-7 years ago this place was always popping. Since then it has fallen off the radar (probably due to the crazy influx of sushi into the county). Anyways, the sushi has gone downhill. The appetizers and hot food options are still on point. I recommend the sautéed broccoli and rock shrimp tempura. I ordered the chef selection sushi/sashimi. It was way overpriced and it was not that fresh. I've had way better salmon and tuna sashimi elsewhere. The one thing I do enjoy about Sakana is that the staff is very friendly! read more

Lot variety of the California roll. Portion control of sashimi sushi a little small. It was good and fresh. Nice looking female customers but they all came with husband's & boyfriends read more

Great sushi starts with fresh fish. However, the rice has to be just right. Not too dry or crumbly. Sakana sushi is always prepared perfectly! read more

I decided to look up food on our way back from the airport and found Sakana on yelp so my husband and I stop by to get some take out. It was hard to find at first, but we found our way. It's located behind the other stores but it was around 7pm and there wasn't much customers but we ordered some sushi rolls and pad Thai. You can't go wrong with either but the sushi was spot on and has large chunks of salmon and it was filling! I loved that. The pad Thai was okay, after all it's a Japanese restaurant so they don't specialize in Thai food. Overall, it was good and we enjoyed it. read more

Our food was really good, but the service wasn't very friendly and it felt a little rushed. This isnt exactly a deal breaker for me bc i think its the norm at most asian restaurants. Regardless, the ginger dressing was delicious, and the decor and ambiance were really nice. read more

I don't usually leave reviews but the last 2 times I have been here the service was horrible. I just called in a take out order and arrived 15 minutes later. When I stood at the front bar the employees all continued their conversations, laughing and no one asked if I needed help. I stood there for 5 minutes with 1 employee behind the bar and multiple other employees talking amongst themselves. I could see my order sitting on the bar. After about 7 minutes standing there and not 1 employee acknowledging me, I left without taking my order. The employees could care less about their customers. The service has gotten worse and worse. I will not be going back. read more

Always the freshest, most delectable fish in the county! The ambiance may be unassuming, but the service is always top-notch. The cocktails are outstanding (especially the Lychee Martini). We've been coming here for over a decade, and have never been disappointed. Simply the best sushi in Rockland! read more

Decent food but somewhat pricey. But then again, sushi is expensive in most places. Friendly service, clean locale. I had the yaki ramen beef, which was decent but was made with what tasted to be standard packaged ramen (somewhat disappointing, but still good). Lychee martini was good and strong. read more

Wanted to like this place. Staff was warm and friendly and the place was nice. Multiple people in the party ordered yellow curry chicken. The flavor of the curry was good but it had way too many vegetables in the curry. Can't say that I've seen green peppers, red peppers and broccoli overwhelming curry like that. The chicken was the most concerning. It didn't feel or taste like chicken. I'm familiar with the 'velveting' process which makes the chicken smoother. But this chicken almost had no chew it broke down in your mouth. The entire party who had the chicken said it felt unnatural and left it behind. Sucks because everything else was good read more

Love their food! They have excellent sushi rolls, and a great variety of options! The staff is very friendly and it's also very clean there.

We got take out tonight from Sakana. It was ready in 20 minutes which was awesome since most take out orders during the pandemic are close to an hour wait. We ordered two miso soups, veggie gyoza, pork gyoza, and a few specialty rolls. Everything was delicious, nothing was left over for tomorrow (we were banking on left overs haha). The fish is so fresh and everything was perfect. I especially enjoyed the mango roll! Can't wait to go back and try something new! read more

This is definitely one of the better sushi restaurant around the area and definitely the best in Nanuet. The sashimi was extremely fresh and the slices were pretty big. All the rolls we ordered were delicious. I'd stay away from the fried stuff but each his own. The yellow tail tuna is absolutely delicate and delicious. Sashimi lovers check it out! read more
