" Last night, I had dinner at Sakana, and it was fantastic! The sushi was top quality; you could genuinely tell the fish was fresh. The service was cheerful and very attentive to our needs, making us feel welcome. I also loved the decor, which gives off a very Japanese feel. Could not recommend it enough if you’re in D.C. looking for good quality sushi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week I had dinner at Sakana, and it was lovely! The ambiance was delightful and very welcoming. I ordered a variety of sushi, and each piece tasted incredibly fresh. The waitstaff was attentive, ensuring we could enjoy every bite without needing to ask for a thing. Definitely going back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi at Sakana is one of my favorites in D.C.! The fish always tastes fresh, and you can tell they care about quality. The vibe is homely, and I love coming here with friends to chat and unwind. They also serve excellent sake, which complements the food perfectly. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi here is solid, but I’ve had better at other places in D.C. I found it quite acceptable, but think they rely a bit too much on typical rolls and should branch out a bit more with their menu options. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere pleasant, but I wasn’t blown away by the food itself. I might stop by again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so right now. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally had the chance to visit Sakana during my trip and my only regret is not going sooner! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. I tried their tempura and sushi, and I must say, the quality was exquisite. So fresh! The service was prompt and attentive. I’d highly recommend coming here if you're looking for authentic Japanese food in D.C. You won't be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sakana was recommended by a friend, and I had high hopes. It wasn't a bad experience, but the food fell a bit flat compared to what I was expecting. The sushi was fresh but quite unremarkable in terms of flavor. I do appreciate the friendly ambiance and service, though. It’s a decent place if you're in the area, just don’t expect anything groundbreaking. " (*Curated Review*)

" I made a last-minute decision to eat at Sakana, and I'm so glad I did! The staff was friendly, and they promptly got me seated. I ended up enjoying a variety of sushi rolls, and man, everything was on point! The atmosphere was relaxed, which made for a delightful experience. I'll be returning very soon! " (*Curated Review*)
