BYOB sushi with stellar omakase, aged fish, and uni bowls
"Philly's sushi omakase options are expanding by the hour, but this BYOB near Headhouse Square has been around for years. Bring a bottle of sake to pair with their $178 omakase. All the raw fish is stellar, whether you’re eating scallop from Hokkaido, toro topped with caviar, or sweet shrimp. And each meal ends with a bowl of uni and high-quality fish." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"There’s quick takeout sushi you eat standing over the sink, and then there are high-quality omakase meals that can ensure you’ll get a second date. Sakana is the latter. The BYOB sushi spot in Headhouse Square is the perfect place to bring that bottle of sake to pair with the excellent omakase ($178 per person for 20 courses). There are flowers along the chef’s counter and walls, the atmosphere isn’t chatty enough to wash out the trading of your hopes and dreams, and watching exceptional fish get sliced in front of you serves as a great conversation starter. All the raw fish is stellar, whether you’re eating Japanese scallop, toro topped with caviar, or sweet shrimp with gold leaves." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"The price has gone up since Sakana first opened—it's now around $178. But what sets this BYOB in Queen Village apart is that each meal ends with an uni bowl full of high-quality fish. It's also casual enough that you’ll feel right at home, instead of like you're in some museum of fish. Order at least one of the add-ons, like a toro hand roll." - candis mclean
"There’s gas station sushi (get over it, we’ve all done it), and then there are high-quality omakase meals that can cost as much as a pair of over-ear headphones. Sakana is the latter. The BYOB sushi restaurant in Headhouse Square is the perfect place to bring a bottle of sake to pair with their $178, 21-course experience. All of the raw fish is stellar, whether you’re eating Japanese scallops, toro topped with caviar, or sweet shrimp with gold leaves." - candis mclean, alison kessler
