Bistro Sakana

Delicious food and amazing service! But what we loved the most was that no one came around after every dish to ask how the dish tasted, upmost respect for the level of confidence they had in the food ;)

Excellent service at this Yaletown Japanese restaurant. The menu is quite extensive with various price points, they also have a very good selection of Sake. We went a little high end with mainly raw menu. Omakase sashimi and a few add-ons. Hamachi was very fresh as was the local uni. We tried the Bafun Uni as well for the first time and it was amazing. The Blue Fin Otoro... My o my!

Not sure why I could not make reservation via Open Table. Had to call to book a table for lunch. They have an extensive lunch menu. Ordered blue fin tuna on rice. It was delicious & reasonably priced. Would love to visit again to try their Omakase dinner!

Went here for an anniversary dinner. Did not disappoint. So happened to get a reservation in before happy hour. A reasonably priced happy hour at that , enjoyed some basic rolls, karage and some cocktails and beer. The aburi set was nice. It's nice that each piece was distinct in flavour. The nigiri was great as well. We also tried the whole fried fish. Might not be for everyone but it's quite good with the sauce. Might not be a date thing to get though. Would definitely come back again.

We had 2 omakase: sushi and sashimi. The quality of fish was SO GOOD. None of the menus that we tried were fishy. The texture was so good and you almost don’t need a wasabi or soy sauce to cover the fishiness. I took a star off because the quantity was too small compared to the price. However, I would definitely visit this place again.

We were there for the 202 dine out menu and the food was excellent. For the starter, we had the scallop motoyaki, poke with nori, and albacore tataki; we also ordered an angus shabu shabu to warm up our body. The scallop was sweet on its own and the sauce complemented it really well. The poke was fresh but it was difficult to consume with the nori seaweed. The tuna came with a piece of garlic which took away the taste of the albacore but it went well with ponzu jelly. The shabu shabu was $38 for a small portion of hotpot but the protein was flavourful so I thought it was worthy. For the course two, we had some hot dishes: ebimayo, black cod, egg plant, and pork belly; each one of them had its specialty. The pork belly came with daikon oden which gave the pork a light dashi flavour. The eggplant was topped with a sweet miso paste which was delicious. The black cod was grilled perfectly with a citrus flavour, very refreshing. The ebimayo was then only down side I had with this course, it was over cooked and not memorable. We also ordered the blue fin trio and beef aburi combo. The tuna nigiri was spectacular! The tuna was fresh and had high oil content (I believed it was akami, chu-toro, and o-toro). The beef aburi was excellent as well, both angus and wagyu were tender and juicy. Over to the course three, it was a but disappointing because nothing stood out. However, we ordered the stone grilled wagyu which was on their regular menu and it was fantastic. The beef really melted in the mouth, though it was rather salty at the end. For the dessert, it said “Chef creation of the day” and we got really excited to try but turned out to be a cheesecake they bought from other store. We were extremely disappointed because if you weren’t making the dessert in the house then why would you write it on the menu? Buying from others wasn’t a problem, the problem was customers being lied to. All in all, I’d still recommend people come and try their dine out menu because of the freshness and creativity of the dish.

Authentic Japanese sushi restaurant in Downtown. They deliver fish from Japan, and food quality was amazing!!! I really loved their Omakase Sushi set and some Aburi sushi set. Stone grill wagyu was fancy and tasty. All good was so tasty and beautiful. I highly recommend this place if you want to try real Japanese food!

My first time here for the Dine Out Vancouver 2022. The food was amazing!!!The first 2 courses and dessert surprised us - feel like in Japan, while the entree (sushi) was just standard. We also added the sake pairing and was good! Overall experience was great and staffs are friendly. Will definitely recommend friends to come!
