Great food but service last time we were there was maybe the worst experience I've ever had in Ashland---incompetent I can handle but this server was rude and hostile. If you're in the mood for sushi, Kobe down the street is a solid choice and Alchemy for cocktails.
Accidentally rated one star, my apologies. It must've been done while phone was in my pocket or something! But this place is great! Awesome food and drinks with friendly staff☺️
1 star taken off for dirty plates: 2 of 4 plates that we got had some kind of sticky sauce at the bottom. The waitress got us clean ones upon request, but it was a turn off.Food: our friends ordered Umami Fries out of curiosity. Well, it's just fries with some aioli and sesame seeds. Short rib bites were flavorful and tender. Sushi rolls were okay. (My husband compared them to the grocery store sushi...)
Come here for the drinks, friendly service, and really nice atmosphere. You can get better sushi elsewhere, but it is fairly decent overall.Have been here a half dozen times and it has been consistently "OK". The drinks are nice, but the sushi sometimes leaves a bit to be desired. Nigiri cuts at times have been pretty thin... not the best when you're looking for good raw protein balanced well with rice. Feels like I've been charged the highest prices for unmastered cuts, but the rolls are pretty good, and the sake selection decent.
Good atmosphere, pleasant service, but the cucumber salad was chopped cucumber in water with sesame seeds on top. Potstickers were unremarkable. Come here for drinks but not food.
Great food, excellent service and the bartender Yolanda is a smoke show.
This was our second visit here. Sadly I won't go back. The rolls we ordered were just not good. I didn't enjoy my roll at all. The staff is very friendly.
Best Japanese food!
Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. It’s fresh and you can tell they’re really selective on the sushi they serve you. High quality. It’s great to find a place that is non commercial and serves top of the line sushi for a fair price. Thank you.
I am very sad to have to write my review of Savanna. But, I was sold something that was called “ramen” which didn’t even come close to what it should have been. Everything about this humble dish was so wrong, I would not believe it because of the last time I ate at Sakana. First off, and most importantly, for a dish to be called ramen, the noodles have to be ramen noodles. The noodles in my order were soft and nearly like pasta noodles (e.g., think spaghetti) without any bite to them like ramen noodles should have. Second the broth was bland and had no umami notes that is de rigeur in ramen broths. And, the seven minute egg was overcooked! What a complete failure. I will not go back to Sakana again. It is a total shame that this happened during the COVID-19 closure, but there is no excuse to sell something that is nothing at all like what is is marketed as on the menu. My recommendation is to not ever order the ramen, unless you like to be disappointed. Better yet, only order it when they are back open and you can send it back while in the restaurant. Such a shame...
