Reviews for Sakanaya in Champaign, IL
I used to come here all the time back before I graduated in 2020, and it was hands down the best sushi in Champaign-Urbana. I... came back recently to try Sakanaya again, and while the food quality and freshness was still amazing, everything seemed to bereally salty from what I remember. I still really enjoyed myself and the service was great, but not as good as I remember. Mighthave just been an off night, but as always I will come back and try again when I am in town! Read more
Staff is very friendly. Restaurant doesn?t take reservations but you can join a waitlist. They do have a waiting area next door.... Expect to wait for at least 30 minutes for a table during dinner hours. Menu is all digital and orders are placed over an app.Food is delicious, well prepared. Highly recommended spot in Champaign Read more
Recommend the Willis tower and the chirashi rice a lot! The quality of ramen is kind of same as what I have tried three years... ago. It?s too plain for the soup and it doesn?t show any improvement on the ramen dish. Read more
2010 Alumni visiting from Chicago, quality of sushi you get here is INSANE. Honestly, my wife and I weren't expecting fresh... seafood such a far away from the coast. Clean and thoughtful set up with reasonable prices... Can't ask for more! *Highlyrecommend spicy Udon as your end dish. Read more
I was visiting the campus and I honestly didnt expect much because this was a restaurant on campus. I had like 7 different menus... and they were all absolutely amazing. SPEECHLESS. Every ingredient (especially fish) was very fresh and taste was a way beyondwhat I expected. I wish I live near by so that I can have Sakanaya everyday!!! Read more
The food was very good specially willis tower. Rolls and sushi combo were very good and fresh. Ramen was ok. Ramen noodle was... little over cooked and pork smelled. I'd like to come back but I wouldn't order ramen again. Read more
We dined here while visiting our daughter as it is one of their favorite spots. We celebrated a huge feast and every single... thing we ordered was prepared perfectly. Our server was very personable and fun. A great experience that should not be missed! Read more
I really enjoyed the ?I love salmon? set. I do love salmon. The fish was good quality bland there was enough diversity on the... plate to not get bored. But man, the nigiri was very, very good. It?s a little pricey to go frequently, but the fish quality wasgood, and the service was good so I will be back. I Read more
