Sakana Sushi & Grill

Sakana Sushi & Grill sits on a quiet stretch of Foothill Boulevard in the leafy hills of La Cañada Flintridge, offering a refined Japanese dining experience just minutes from downtown Los Angeles. The restaurant’s philosophy centers on hand‑selected, daily‑caught fish and a commitment to quality that shines through every plate. Guests can start with crisp appetizers such as the Crispy Tuna (Hanabi), Spicy Tuna on rice, or the buttery Agedashi Tofu, while the Garlic Edamame and Sesame Chicken add a comforting touch. The menu showcases creative rolls – the Sunny Spicy Tuna, the Rainbow Crab, and the Baked Salmon California roll – alongside classic nigiri and sashimi selections ranging from albacore and yellowtail to snapper and uni when in season. For heartier fare, the Chicken Teriyaki, Beef Rib, and Unagi Bowl provide generous portions of protein, rice, and miso soup, and the Tempura Udon or Spicy Seafood Udon satisfy noodle lovers. The interior blends contemporary design with warm wood tones, soft lighting, and an open sushi bar where chefs slice fish with practiced precision. Service is attentive yet unobtrusive, with staff ready to guide newcomers through the menu. Prices sit in the mid‑range, typically $12‑$30 per entrée, making it suitable for casual lunches, family dinners, or special events. The restaurant welcomes large reservations and catering orders, reachable at (818) 957‑9922 or via email. Hours run from 11:30 am to 9:30 pm Sunday‑Thursday and until 10:30 pm on Friday‑Saturday, ensuring flexibility for both locals and visitors seeking authentic Japanese flavors in a tranquil suburban setting.
