Erick CookReview ofSakana Sushi
I am very sad to have to write my review of Savann...
I am very sad to have to write my review of Savanna. But, I was sold something that was called ramen which didn t even come close to what it should have been. Everything about this humble dish was so wrong, I would not believe it because of the last time I ate at Sakana. First off, and most importantly, for a dish to be called ramen, the noodles have to be ramen noodles. The noodles in my order were soft and nearly like pasta noodles (e.g., think spaghetti) without any bite to them like ramen noodles should have. Second the broth was bland and had no umami notes that is de rigeur in ramen broths. And, the seven minute egg was overcooked! What a complete failure. I will not go back to Sakana again. It is a total shame that this happened during the COVID-19 closure, but there is no excuse to sell something that is nothing at all like what is is marketed as on the menu. My recommendation is to not ever order the ramen, unless you like to be disappointed. Better yet, only order it when they are back open and you can send it back while in the restaurant. Such a shame...
