We ordered the fried oysters (kaki fry), white tuna roll and the sushi deluxe x2. The fried oysters tasted fresh and were nice and crispy. The oysters did not taste overly fishy either. It came with a Thai chili sauce that complimented the dish well. As for the sushi, the white tuna roll and the sushi deluxe was probably the freshest tuna and salmon I've had in Syracuse. The rice to fish ratio was perfect. The ginger was tasty. The miso soup was a little bland and the salad was standard for sushi restaurants. Overall, I had a really amazing time here. The service is absolutely impeccable and all of the waitresses were so attentive and kind. I will definitely come here again!

We came with a group of 8, we were sat with a table of 5, spanning 2 hibachi grills (they seat 8 each grill) because apparently they were running behind and seemed to be short staffed. The person taking our orders was SO short with us, like zero pleasantries, drill Sargent taking orders that we didn't have a second to ask for gyoza for an appetizer, and our friend who wanted to order sake bombs was denied as well. So odd because we were the last table they took for the night (7p reservation) so there was no rush behind us. Food was fine, I think the portions decreased some over time but whatever. The bill came, they tacked on a 20% bill, I'm going to assume because we were a party of 8, but then the receipt also recommended an additional 20% tip which our friend fell for and they never leveled this. Finally as we're finishing our last bites, they came to clean the grill with lemon juice resulting in this burnt-smelling lemon juice...it was putrid and just a slap in gee face following that whole experience.

Our entrees were exactly as described (Bluewater burger and Crab Cake sandwich), arrived just as we finished salads, and very good. The prices were totally reasonable. Appetizer, salad, two sandwiches, two soft drinks was around $65 for dinner. All in all, we were very happy with the meal.

I had such a fun experience at Sakana-Ya!…read more A couple of things to know before you go: if you visit during business hours, you'll likely need to pay for parking. There is a parking lot nearby as well as some street parking, but it's something to keep in mind before your visit. I believe they offer an all-you-can-eat special for around $27.99 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays many menu items are half off. I visited on a Thursday and took full advantage of the half-off specials. I arrived about 40 minutes before closing, and as other guests left, I ended up being the only person in the restaurant. Honestly, it made for a great experience. The music was a fun mix of house music and R&B, and I found myself dancing in my seat while enjoying my meal. The staff was attentive without being overbearing. They checked on me when needed but also gave me space to relax and enjoy my food. The cook also came over and talked with me for a while and made some suggestions on what he thought I would like. Amazing ! Because everything was half off, my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach! I ordered several different items and was completely full by my second plate. Most dishes come as small plates with two to four pieces, making it easy to try a variety of items. One of the coolest parts of the experience was the conveyor belt system. Once your food is prepared, it's sent down the conveyor belt to your seat. Since I was the only customer there, it was easy to know which dishes were mine. I'd be interested to see how it works during busier hours. I honestly can't remember everything I ordered, but I enjoyed almost all of it. My least favorite item was the sweet potato roll--it wasn't bad, just not my personal favorite. Everything else was fresh, flavorful, and worth trying. Overall, I had a really good time and will definitely be back, especially on a half-off day. Great food, great music, and a fun dining experience.

The fun thing is that on this particular Saturday, it was half-price Sushi which is a very affordable time to go! The sushi rolls and appetizer items come down on colored plates on a conveyer belt. You don't have much time to review the info sheet so figure out what things are before it passes you by, and you do have to eat it if you touch the plate. It's kind of a fun game to play! We enjoyed a nice lunch with fresh sushi created by the sushi chefs behind the counter, of course. It's a peaceful place to go when there's only few people in there. But, I could see it being loud if there were a packed house in there. I wouldn't say it's the best sushi I ever had, but it's fun for the novelty of it for sure.

The staff was friendly, helpful and on top of everything. Quick to support, quick to follow up and had a great system where they had servers consistently moving/watching over the dining room to quickly meet everyone's needs. The place itself is really nice inside, comfortable and cozy, even when busy it didn't feel noisy at all. My wife got an adult beverage and loved it. They kindly provided us a complimentary appetizer of Sushi unprompted which was a lovely surprise and delicious! For everything we ordered, edamame was a delightful starter and then we got 4 special sushi rolls and each one was a wonderful taste and blend of flavors. They were beautifully laid out on the plate which is always a nice touch. This is an easy recommendation to make. Please go and enjoy!!

The meat is tender and seasoned well, sitting atop a bed of fresh greens and rice. The tempura was freshly deep fried with a light yet crispy batter. A variety of vegetables and shrimp to try. The udon was good as well. The noodles had a nice bounce and chew to them. The broth was flavorful without being overly salty. All in all, an amazing meal with great ambience at a higher price point. Definitely a place to treat yourself for delicious Japanese food.

We were able to get in without a reservation on a week day at 7 pm (1 hour before closing), but I would recommend reserving a table.

Most of our order contained salmon as this is the fish of our choice, and the quality and freshness were on top. We had to search for a server at times, but in general everyone was very attentive to our needs. And yes, it's totally worth a drive from the Niagara Falls, which is a food desert if you ask me!

Listen here listen here , I can't believe I've been here so many times and never left a review!…read moreMitsuba is hands down my favorite poke spot in the Syracuse area. I always get the salad base and my mom usually goes with the noodles -- and let me tell you, they never miss. This time, I think our bowls got mixed up a little, and mine ended up with some ah tuna. I've always been hesitant to try it since I usually stick to cooked seafood, but it was actually so good! Flavorful, fresh, and the texture was way better than I expected -- honestly, similar to shrimp. If you like shrimp, you'd probably enjoy this too. For toppings, I went with shrimp, mango, crab meat, corn, chili flakes, and a few other things (I even snapped a pic of my order card because I can never remember everything!). The poke bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and customizable, and I love that you can watch them chop everything right in front of you. This visit I also tried the crab rangoons -- they were a little too crunchy for me, and my little one even said the same (and she usually loves rangoons). My mom tried the chicken wings, which were good, but I'll personally be sticking to the poke bowls because they are the star here. The restaurant is always clean, the staff is super friendly, and the quality is consistently top-notch. If you're looking for poke in Syracuse, this is the place. Five stars for the poke bowls, no question! They do sell all type of bubble drinks as well.
