First time visiting from out of town. I was solo, so seated pretty quickly. The place was rather busy, so it was apparent that it must be good...and it was. All you can eat for 38 bucks was a great value, and I left not only satisfied with the food quality, but satisfied with the service and amount of food I got for that price. Everything was fresh and I was astonished at just how quickly the food made it to my table. I will be returning when I'm back k in town and may even bring a friend or two with me. Make sure you get there early!

Even after all these years, Little Sakana remains the best AYCE Sushi this side of the Mississippi! Delicious food, strong drinks and excellent service make it an ideal place to relax and enjoy fresh sashimi, nigiri, sushi and kitchen food. Price, value, selection- nobody even comes close!

Dude, how can I even begin to characterize how amazing this restaurant is. This is by far THE BEST sushi restaurant I've ever visited in my entire life, no exaggeration! Here's why: • They have an all you can eat option! (And it's very reasonably priced ) • The food is fresh and delicious • Service is VERY fast and friendly • The decor and ambiance are fun and modern • There are some great options on the menu, even non-sushi offerings • They offer half rolls (4 pieces) on many special rolls so you can try more items without filling up as quickly! • It's located in an area that's relatively close to most of SD county and there's plenty of parking If you're looking for a fantastic spot for some delicious sushi, please do yourself a favor and go to Little Sakana. You shan't regret it!

Every time we're in the area, this is our go-to place. Our favorite piece would have to be the ex-boyfriend. We had many nigiri pieces, like the sashimi salad, garlic ponzu salmon, and the umani oil salmon! For the rolls, we had the firecracker and it had rich flavors! Most of the time this place is busy, so you'll have to come earlier in the day to avoid wait time. The interior has beautiful art, you'll see them once you come in. They have both AYCE and regular menus, whichever one you prefer. I recommend this place to everyone, especially if you're in the area. Parking can be difficult at times because it's next to Vons and CVS, but it's worth being patient.

We loved our food and had such a fun experience! I like that the portions are small so you can try lots of different things. Our waitress Katelyn was amazing and on top of everything, even on a busy Saturday. Some highlights for us were the Furikake Fries, Garlic Ponzu Nigiri, Volcano roll, and especially the Lemon roll, definitely a must try!

I was very skeptical about “all you can eat” as generally the quality of food is poor. NOT HERE AT Little Sakana! This is my second time here and everything that has been put on our table has been so delicious! My favorite is the Lotus Flower Roll! If you are reading this, it’s all you can eat on the menu…minus very little, in which you server will point out. Trying new things is the best place for it, so take a chance on something you might not order at other places, you will be pleasantly surprised as the food is so well prepared and delicious. The servers are prompt and great. Esther is our server both times we were here and she is so wonderful, and her colleagues are great as well. You generally will not be waiting long for your food, but understand this, word is getting out about Little Sakana and weekends can get really busy. Get on the waiting list and they will fit you in. It’s worth the wait.

I was on vacation but I'm a huge fan of this sushi spot. Will 100% be returning. The quality of fish was some of the best I've had in a long time. Service was great. Despite being busy, they always got our food out relatively quickly. Our Server (Anne) was awesome and she deserves a raise!!! Wait was really long, but definitely worth it. We tried nearly all the rolls, but the albacore delight roll was the the best on the whole menu! (We are big backs and ordered like 12 of them)
