Sakana sits in Queen Village and runs a single format: a 20-course omakase that mixes traditional Japanese flavors with modern techniques and less expected ingredients. The menu changes seasonally, so the courses a diner gets in spring will differ from those served in fall, though the structure — nigiri assembled to order over warm rice, plus appetizers, salads, and dessert courses — stays consistent.
The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. Lunch service runs 12:30 to 3:00 pm, and dinner runs 6:00 to 10:00 pm, giving diners a choice of midday or evening seatings rather than a single nightly service.
Sakana is categorized as upscale, falling in the mid-to-upper price tier (3 of 4), consistent with a 20-course tasting menu format. Specific pricing isn't listed here, so confirm current per-person cost directly with the restaurant or at booking.
Reservations are handled through Resy, which is the only booking channel listed. Given the course count and the structure of the meal, which leans on precise, watch-as-they-slice counter service, booking ahead is advisable rather than walking in. The restaurant posts seasonal menu updates on its Instagram account for diners who want a preview of what's currently being served before they book.
