Last Friday evening our party of 8 celebrated a warm and jubilant birthday, early Father’s Day party. From our arrival to our leaving the entire staff greeted us like family. All of our appetizers, Sushi-Rolls, were delicious! We all loved our Entrees-our seafood was expertly prepared!

My recent visit to Blue Sakana presented a mix of highs and areas for improvement. The outdoor courtyard truly stood out, offering a beautifully landscaped and pleasant ambiance that set a wonderful initial tone.
However, the dining experience itself felt a bit disconnected. The ordering process was unfortunately out of sync, with our entrees arriving before our appetizers and the server didn’t check in with us, or let us know. This disrupted the natural flow of the meal and made us feel rushed to eat everything, rather than allowing for a relaxed time. We also noticed a couple seated about 10 minutes after us received both their appetizers and entrées before we did.
For appetizers, the parfait (pictured) offered good flavors, but the unexpected inclusion of crispy rice at the bottom felt somewhat an awkward texture flow. The rice actually went better with the entree.
The Miso Cod (pictured) was the highlight of the meal with delicious and well-executed flavors. A red pickled item served alongside was overwhelmingly salty, detracting from the dish’s otherwise excellent balance. The sushi roll (pctured) we ordered was decent but nothing spectacular and didn’t leave a lasting impression.
Finally, while the restaurant’s courtyard had great charm, the rundown condition of the surrounding shopping center and parking lot felt quite unpleasant. It truly looked like a rundown shopping center parking lot.
Overall, Blue Sakana has some enjoyable aspects, particularly its beautiful outdoor setting and the flavorful Miso Cod. However, more attention to service flow and refining certain dish components would create a more cohesive and exceptional dining experience.
For those seeking similar cuisine, I would more highly recommend Aozora in Danville as well as Bamboo Sushi in Bishop Ranch.

Great place for sushi and Japanese appetizers. Full bar. Amazing outdoor seating perfect for an sunny afternoon. The wine selection is excellent as well. Service was friend and not rushed. The ducks swimming in the pond adds to the experience.

Had a Sunday Funday with a couple friends. We decided to spend the afternoon in Danville since it’s almost central to where we all live. Great lunch amazing waitress.

Finally, a place in the East Bay to enjoy vegetarian/vegan sushi. It was such a delight trying the variety of options – from noodles, sushi, to tofu. We tried the broccoli Gomae, agedashi tofu, vegetarian roll (without rice), ume & mint roll, nude caterpillar roll, and the banana pudding. There was nothing that I regret getting. The ambience was great for a casual weekday night but I can also see it being a great place to meet friends or have soju and sake on a weekend night. The service was exceptional – our waiter made great effort to make us chuckle and even convinced us to get a dessert! I’ll be back here again and again and again!

Been many times when this was Blue Ginko. Now it’s Blue Sakana…still good sushi. Had the Sashimi Salad. The presentation was awesome and the fish was very tasty.The rolls were definitely fish heavy (not over loaded with rice). Fried tofu (lightly fried in a ponzu-type sauce) and the seaweed salad are great starters. The food prices are up there and the drinks are even more, however the taste and overall experience make a good case for putting this place on the rotation.

Been going here for the last 4 years. Every time has been excellent in every way. The food and service are amazing. Food is served quickly and always perfect. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Music is just the right volume. Very clean and inviting, including the restrooms. The staff are very kind, welcoming and they make sure your needs are met. Special occasions are always treated with respect and honor.
Definitely recommend Blue Sakana.
