Sakana Sushi Bar & Cuisine (30 August 2012)


Sakana was a sushi bar along Hutton Lane, George Town, Penang. It has now been taken over by a different management, and is now called To Kai Ya. Sakana opened in August, 2012, the first of the Sakana chain of sushi bars in Penang. The restaurant occupies the corner shoplot between Hutton Lane and Penang Road beside Cathay Cinema (today an outlet of Mydin). The restaurant offers a wide variety of Japanese dishes including the sushi, sashimi, maki, grilled dishes, handrolls and others.

Sakana Sushi has an open kitchen style bar. Patrons can view the entire kitchen operation and see how their food is prepared. The restaurant now has a new management, bringing with it a new menu and a new chef.

Although some people do not take raw food, Japanese food is almost not Japanese food without the raw items. Many who braved themselves to try it find that the raw slices of tuna, salmon, all freshly imported, are indeed absolutely delicious.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
