sakana sushi bar

ebi mayo. amazing. karaage. delish.

will go again

this is hands down the best sushi restaurant on the coast! the fish is fresh from the ocean and the sushi tastes amazing. unfortunately, it is not cheap.

i got takeaway from sakana a little while ago during the holiday period and was disappointed due to the high expectations i had from friends recommendations. unsure i this was due to it being holiday time, but found the price to be excessive for what i got, which was a large roll with a lot of rice and a small amount of actual ingredient (prawn, chicken etc). a self confessed pig when it comes to sushi, but found i couldn't eat everything i bought due to filling up on the excessive amount of rice. i hope this experience was the exception to the rule. (i appreciate they would have high overheads due to their location)

the chef was not a happy camper the day we were there. the sushi wasn’t rolled tightly enough so when it was picked up it fell apart. the fillings were small and you had to pay for extras like cream cheese, avocado etc. i’m afraid even sushi edo could be better.

super duper roll was excellent perfect combination of salmon, prawn and eel, thank you sakana sushi mooloolaba, i will be back definitely. asked about valentine’s day no special offers.

disappointed. the rolls had too much rice. didn't really taste if anything. bento box very average. staff didn't really want our feedback. miso soup was good. won't go here again.

we decided to drive to mooloolaba to get some prawns from the jetty for lunch. as we walked past the sushi restaurant the plates of sashimi and sushi looked beautifully presented and so fresh we changed our minds.
they were busy being a sunday lunchtime, but the waitress was so accomodating and even organised for hubby to have a chair with a back as he suffering from a bad black. she even gaves us some suggestions which were very helpful in making our final decisions.
bottle of chilled water and our entree of pork gyoza arrived promptly.
we ordered the sushi and sashimi platter for 2 and was blown away with the freshness and flavour.
very reasonably priced for the quality and presentation.
will definitely be back again.

had a very pleasant evening there. sushi and other japanese dishes were extremely well prepared. the maitre d'(apparently son of the owner) was very chatty and friendly and helpful. they have a good range of sakes to accompany this food. very enjoyable evening. will return when we come back here for our next holiday.

the area has a lot of japanese places, but this one must be the best value. we had three different sushi boards, two being $10 each. the little guy ate his body weight, baby maddie liked the rice and we even had a whole set left over! wow! girl who served us was lovely.

a great little venue near the fish wharf we visited for lunch. friendly staff and good food. we had the sashimi plate for $30 and the shared entree. beach across the road for a pre lunch dip.

very chilled out atmosphere with a wide range on the menu. the waiter that served us was extremely friendly had some great suggestions. if you want a sushi place with great service and great food check this place out!

lovely fresh seafood. delicious chilli and garlic endamame. came with no booking on a saturday night and were seated quickly even though the restaurant was quite full. great service. can not fault.

lovely atmosphere and flavourful meals. walk in at 7 pm on a busy saturday night and was seated immediately and with a smile. service was polite and very timely. a little on the expensive side but over all a great experience.

rude staff, terrible service. my partner and i made a lunchtime reservation for sakana as we've been before and had a good experience previously. we arrived to find the restaurant half empty with plenty of tables. the table we were allocated was very noisy and hot (there's an outdoor dining area) we asked politely if we could move to another of the empty tables.
the waitress said she didn't know but would check with the manager. the manager arrived and very rudely told us we couldn't move, no explanation. during our visit the tables remained empty.
we ordered entrees and mains and one of the entrees arrived and not the other. we asked the waitress to check and the other entree arrived about 10 minutes after the first. the same thing happened for the main course, no apologies or explanation from the staff. all in all, a very unpleasant experience. the food was ok, nothing to rave about and would have been nice if we'd been able to eat our meals at the same time.

awesome service and great food!!. well the person who wrote the last review view obviously has no idea about service or japanese food! this restaurant is ace and one of the best japanese restaurants in queensland by far!! it's situated in a fantastic location with beautiful sea breezes! would recommend this restaurant to all, 5 star!!
