Sakana Sushi & Japanese Cuisine

"Pretty decent experience! The sushi was neat and delicious, and they came fairly quickly! It just stinks that you’re only limited certain “specialty sushi”, can only have 1 dessert, only can order up to 3 rounds (so order wisely as a group), and they are strict on the 90 eating time. A lot of rules… One of the waitresses was staring at me when it was only 50 mins in, anticipating when my group was leaving. Besides all of this, SUSHI IS GOOD"

"If you’re looking for a good value AYCE sushi place and you like rolls more than nigiri/sashimi, Sakana is a decent place to get your fill. Their salmon was not bad, but everything else was just too awful for me to give anything above a 2 star. The fish smelled very fishy and all their sides were awful. The “fried rice” came in a sad pile and tasted awful. I tried their other sides like takoyaki, shrimp tempura, udon, etc and all of them looked and tasted horrible. But then again, it’s an AYCE so the quality of food is subpar. Again, if you’re looking to enjoy some rolls, you’ll probably enjoy eating here. As someone who primarily orders nigiri and sashimi, it was a solid 2/5 experience."

"Wandered into this buffet place one day and was excited to try it out. The interior looks really nice and welcoming with plenty of seating. During the busy hours, I would recommend making a reservation. Upon getting seated, the waiters arrived and explained to us the process since it was our first time there. We were given a paper menu in which we can mark off our selections. We were only allowed to order 3 rounds, and of course, no leftovers can be taken home. We ordered various sushi, salad, crab salad, shrimp tempura, pork katsu, fried chicken, upon noodles, and this enoki mushroom wrapped in bacon. The sushi is standard, not much special to the rolls. The pork katsu and fried chicken was quite bland. The meat was not seasoned at all and rhe sauce can only help so much. Our favorite was the enoki wrapped in bacon. We wanted to order more but we just didn't have room. The portion size of the appetizers, salad and crab salad, are quite small and just enough for 1 person. Definitely not something you can share so just order your own. Overall, friendly staff and extremely quick service. Not sure how the regular food is but the buffet is just ok. Worth a try though due to the ambiance! This place does get quite busy since it's in the heart of downtown New Brunswick."

"Giving 5 stars because I really really enjoyed majority of the times I’ve been here for lunch and dinner. Prices are good on weekdays lunch. A little pricy on the weekend but the food is worth it in my opinion. The aesthetic is nice, location is clean, employees are quick and efficient, and the food is usually fantastic. Fresh fish and everything comes out in a timely manner. Love the stir-fry udon, seaweed salad, the bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms are my favorite, and the Naruto roll is so refreshing with the cucumber wrap. I went recently though in November and they are using a different kind of seaweed that is way too chewy and kind of hard. The manager or owner was kind enough to switch out our order for some rolls that didn’t have seaweed. He was pretty great too in trying the seaweed and noting that the premium kind wasn’t as good. Hoping that they will revert to the normal kind so we can come back and enjoy their all you can eat options again! Now for my standard comments. Location is kept very clean. Nice bathrooms, very well kept. Many of the staff members are still wearing masks which is nice."
