    All good. The only thing is that they did not give the discount even when the reserve was with the fork and they requested to prove it. We had to talk with them and they finally gave the discount.

    Don’t understand the ratings given to this restaurant, food is average, service average, value for money poor, this is one of those restaurants that I can say not bad not good, no reason to repeat. We even experienced an argument between the owner and one of the waitress in front of the customers!!!!

    Excellent breadth of options, especially for vegetarians and non-raw fish eaters, which is not so common in Japanese restaurants in Spain. There was something for everyone !

    A ho-hum meal in a 70’s environment with unknowledgeable staff completely full of themselves. In LA, NY or London this restaurant would be long gone.

    Had a meal with my girlfriend after long forest walk. Food with the 30% discount deal was affordable and tasty. Although the ramen was made with fried chicken (not authentic), all the food was tasty and portions were fine. We had it with a warm sake. Great experience, nice ambiance with nice service.

    Second time going to Sakana - the food is really great, the service is fast and friendly. All servers have a smile and are happy to provide recommendations! Prices are not low but Fork discount helps a lot! Overall a fantastic meal in a great restaurant!

    The Rice consistency in the two makis I ordered did not hold the roll very well, but the taste was delicious. Service was good, and a nice environment to chat,

    The restaurant looks fancy and the servers are helpful and friendly. We had 2 bowls of Ramen - chicken and Vegetarian - they were both flavourful and with good portion size. The vegetable gyoza for starters was quite tasty too. The prices were very reasonable and the Fork discount made it even better. The location is perfect. Overall, a great find for me and will repeat soon.

    Good restaurant of sushi, nothing really stands out in the menu. The food is good but the price is really too high even with the 50% off.

    Menu is filled with excellent choices throughout; every item was well prepared, artfully presented and most importantly….fresh and delicious! Staff were friendly, accommodating and efficient. I would absolutely recommend Sakana!

    Very average. Carpaccio is not carpaccio by definition, and instead of the salmon tuna and sea bass on the picture there was also octopus and squid, which I usually love, but they were very very chewy. The rolls were alright, nothing special. The ramen was ok, the egg was underdone. I just don’t understand the hype about this place, then again I’ve only lived in Madrid for 6 months and whilst this country does great Spanish food it’s international offerings are way beyond par in comparison to London or even New York

    It was our second time at Sakana, this time for dinner. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a waiter missing, and our table was left unattended during most of the time. None of the waiters seemed to pay any attention to our table, sometimes asking even up to three times about a missing item and ensuring they would ask in the kitchen to rush it. None of the other tables around it seemed to have this issue. Guests coming later than us were earlier asked about their order, as well as didn’t have to wait for their orders nor drinks - we waited around 20 min just to get soft drinks. At the end we only received apologies from the staff, but this made our experience a bit unpleasant. In the future, I think that a different organization for the staff (waiters responsible for their own tables instead of one for orders, another one for bringing plates, another one only for billing would make the experience more efficient and pleasant. Besides this, kudos for the kitchen, once again, brilliant sushi.
