It was late, around 9pm, when we pulled up to Sakana to get a bite to eat. We chose to get it to-go so the workers there wouldn’t have to stay longer than they had to. The hostess was really nice, offering us water to drink while we waited. I was really thirsty so happily I accepted. I even got a refill. While I greatly commend the service there, I can’t say the same for the value of the food we got. We got a teriyaki chicken and a beef yakisoba at $11.95 each. When they gave me the boxes to carry.. my first thought was how light they were. I mean, I’ve carried salads heavier than this.
When I opened the boxes up, I couldn’t help but think that we’ve overpaid for what we got. The teriyaki chicken was just two chicken breasts covered in teriyaki sauce, served with veggies, rice, salad, and half an orange. At least the chicken didn’t taste too dry with the help of the sauce, but overall the dish was average at best. The beef yakisoba tasted better. It was basically a stir fry noodle entree with beef (which were a little dry), mushrooms, onions, carrots, and zucchini. But, it still lacked in quantity for its price.
I think Sakana specializes more on sushi because their menu has a very small selection of entrees. It’s either teriyaki meat with rice or yakisoba. I saw some of the sushi they made, and they looked pretty good. The downside is that each sushi roll (about 8-10 pieces) will cost you around $20.
The radish dressing was pretty good on this otherwise regular salad.
Teriyaki chicken in its purest form, nothing fancy.
The beef was a little tough, but this entree was the better of the two. I like the balance of noodles and the other ingredients. No one ingredient overwhelms the other in quantity.
