Sakana is built around a single extended omakase experience at an intimate counter in Queen Village. The format runs 19 courses over roughly two hours, moving through appetizers, salads, and nigiri before finishing with dessert, with the menu shifting seasonally rather than staying fixed.
The nigiri is assembled to order in front of guests — chefs slice each piece and set it over warm rice rather than plating everything ahead of time. The restaurant is BYOB, and it offers gluten-free and kosher accommodations alongside the standard tasting.
Regulars point to the freshness and quality of the fish, the pacing and variety of the progression, and a staff that's attentive and knowledgeable through the full sequence — the kind of place that builds a following of repeat customers at its bar seats.
