We love Sky and visit almost once a week, especially ever since new management took over in July. The staff is always so warm and welcoming and our food is always perfect. The owners also always come around to say hello and treat us like family. The sushi chefs put so much thought and energy into our meal each time. Would definitely recommend!
New management and entirely different menu. Not a single sushi roll that made me want to go to Sky over any other basic sushi place is on the menu anymore. As someone who was a devout customer — this is a completely different restaurant with the same name, but it is not the Sky Japanese you are expecting.
Anyone familiar with me knows I am not your run-of-the-mill food critic. I have realistic expectations of waitstaff and very balanced expectations of food quality. I have however as a regular and very much frequent patron of this establishment come to expect a certain quality of both food and service of which was sub par this evening. Before we discount this establishment however let me iterate a few recent changes to Sky. On 7 july 2022 Sky Modern Japanese opened under new management and an entirely new staff. As of today this restaurant has only had 2 solid days of new operating continuity. As such this scathing review only reflects this restaurant as a newborn establishment and I take this into account and am eager and hopeful to witness its re-growth to my previous 5 star ratings prior to the management regime change. So to quantify my 3 star rating for this evening's experience I would first like to begin by pointing out the eagerness and professionalism of my great server Alex this evening. As he is new here to Sky I afford understanding to his lack of familiarity with menu items and names as well as uncertainty of item availability so for this I only say practice and repititon makes perfect. The menu items and availability has changed, however items that have been commonplace until now, even as of my most recent visit, are suddenly noted to be "unavailabe in Arkansas" (Uni is what I speak of) maybe simply due to a lack of supply ordering continuity by new management. As for food quality I have no gripes in taste, however as sushi is supposed to include an element or simplicity and minimalism I was disappointed to find my Chirashi dish was adorned/garnished with an entire full salad worth of lettuce and greens, thus complicating an otherwise dish. Finding my sashimi among the greens reminded me of beating the bushes to flush rabbits out as a child. However I digress, I expect the potential of this new management to someday return this restaurant to is former 5 star glory and anticipate my return to be proved right.
Not worth the $50 order New York strip got sirloin tips rice was mushy, vegetables not done no taste chicken was hard didn’t eat any of it. Back to Benihanas
Waited for over an hour on a two roll sushi to go order, while there were less then 5 people inside. Ordered an hour ahead of time and still waited 45 minutes inside.
The service was excellent. The manager was so friendly. The sushi was fantastic. I tried the Rocky mountain roll with no crunchy and they carry gluten free soy sauce. My 7 year old ordered hibachi and loved it but also ended up eating his own little tuna roll.
We drive over an hour to eat at Sky Modern Japanese. Best food ever and good beer and sake. Always fresh
Had a fantastic lunch with Donna today. Great food in a relaxed environment. We’ll return soon.
Went with my partner for valentine's day, ordered the dinner for 2. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak and chicken were some of the best I've had, and the vegetables and fried rice were as good as the entrées! We'll definitely be back.
The food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. Staff was very attentive and friendly.Also, I left my wallet there and went back the next day to retrieve it. They had it in a safe place and it had not been opened. All of my cash, cards and important material was untouched. I will definitely return every chance I get!
