If dining at Sakanaya had to be summed up in one word, it would be “divine.”
There’s no place on campus that matches the level of craft and care Sakanaya displays, and that alone sets it apart from the rest. This East Green Street restaurant has a vast array of options, including various sushi rolls and Japanese dishes to satiate anyone’s cravings.
Sakanaya translates to “fish market,” and there’s a reason the name stands out. According to the restaurant’s website, Sakanaya orders more fish than any other Champaign restaurant.
This contributes to its wide variety of delectable dishes, including its bento boxes, poke bowls and ramen soups. Sakanaya also provides vegetarian options to cater to a variety of customers, such as vegetarian ramens and rolls.
This is only one of the many highlights that comes to mind when describing Sakanaya. The service is spectacular and the wait times are minuscule, but more importantly, the food is fresh and made to perfection.
If you’re looking for a great spot to treat yourself with the best Japanese food on campus, Sakanaya is the place for you.
