Sakana SushiThis is THE place to be on a Friday night if you and your family are sushi fans. The location on Elliot Road in Ahwatukee fills up shortly after opening and keeps hopping all night. Service is attentive and friendly, teppanyaki tables are fun for family or group.
For fun, sit that the sushi bar and have the chefs explain what they are making. This is a great place for kids who love to eat good things – great dumplings and tempura.
Sushi specials change often, but you can always order your favorite. Sports on the TV, 80s music and brightly painted walls make this the place to start your weekend or kick-start those mid-week blues.
good to know: get there at opening on a Friday or Saturday night, or wait to go for about an hour.
what to wear: it runs the gamut, but mainly jeans and shorts.
must haves: sushi – it’s all fresh and wonderful.Sakana Sushi
