50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Carmichael

“Great food and stellar service absolutely love this place.“

“This is such a hidden gem. Cam, the owner, along with his wife and a small team helpful employees made our night. The omakase is awesome and the quality of the fish was outstanding. The care put into our food and the explanation of each dish helped me not only walk away extremely satisfied, but also with a better knowledge of Japanese cuisine. Make sure to call a week or two ahead of time for the omakase!“

“I did an online pickup order as this restaurant is nearby my work. Right next to Starbucks. I ordered a Thai Chicken Plate and a Crunch Roll. As I walked in, the gentleman behind the counter greeted me with a smile as he helped me get my order. The food was delicious! I will definitely go back to try other rolls!“

“The food was simply sensational, exceeding our expectations with every bite. The sushi was exquisitely prepared, featuring fresh, high-quality ingredients that delighted my taste buds. What truly set this place apart was the warm and inviting atmosphere, where the staff treated us like a cherished guests. From their friendly greetings to their attentive service, we felt a genuine sense of belonging. This combination of exceptional cuisine and heartfelt hospitality made our experience truly memorable.

“Fantastic food, diverse menu and great prices. Service is great“

“Since we recently moved to Anatolia and are still new to the area, I was looking for a quick and affordable place to grab Korean food (nothing too fancy or overpriced). My husband and I have tried this place three times so far(all take out) and we love it! We especially enjoy their beef bibimbap and pork katsu curry. We also tried the kimchi fried rice, cup bab, and kimbap, which were tasty too, but those two are our favorites. The service is friendly, and the portions are generous! We’ll definitely be visiting regularly to get bibimbap!“

“This was my first time visiting. I recommend trying the tempura and pepper fins they were great it had a really nice presentation. I also tried the California roll, which tasted okay, though the rice had a weird color that threw me off a bit. Overall, the service was a positive experience“

“My partner and I live nearby and have been meaning to try this place. What they’ve done with the exterior and interior is beautiful. The service and the food were amazing.

Excited to have a new go-to sushi spot so close to home.“

“The people were amazing, they were so elaborative and patient and most of all kind. The food was the best food ever. The servings are decently sized and had a reasonable pricing. My only con which wasn’t to intense was that there was not too much space. But they accommodated us to the bar. So overall by heart, it a 5 star!

Dietary restrictions: They are very flexible with measurements and any allergies. They will take out anything you are allergic to.

Kid-friendliness: They had a kids meal!“

“Came in for lunch when they opened on a Friday. There was no lunch rush crowd, but there should be. People are friendly, food is spectacular, and the place is well kept. Tried the Thai Chicken, was told it was really spicy (vs their Spicy Chicken made with Sriracha). It wasn't terribly spicy but had a phenomenal flavor. They also had a great lunch special plate with a few gyoza and a beverage (normally a plate is just the meat, rice, and salad) which was a great value. If you like teriyaki, definitely hit this place up!“

“Amazing place. Food was incredible. Take the jump and get a sushi taco! We tried the chicken, salmon, and tuna sushi tacos. The shoyu ramen was really satisfying— great flavor and serving size. If you’re just having sushi tacos, you’ll probably need 1.5.

Milk tea is great. We had the Okinawa!

Really cozy vibe and great decor.

Parking: There’s plenty of parking. It has its own parking lot.“

“This was a new spot so my family and I tried it and it did not disappoint. I’m a huge fan of sushi and the quality was fresh and delicious. Ambience was on point and my favorite part was the customer service.

Our server was great and the staff were friendly as well.“

“food was amazing! we absolutely loved all the nigiris we got. our server edgar was so bomb, he kept the food coming and constantly made sure we had everything we needed 😫 we got the chino fizz which i recommend to anyone who wants to try a mocktail“

“Teriyaki chicken and every meat taste really delicious and I really want to eat every day! Also, the Servers are really kind and helpful! I really like teriyaki grilled chicken in Arden mall!!“

“great family restaurant. friendly staff.“

“Been eating at Hana Tsubaki for 30 years and it’s consistently fantastic. The sushi is innovative and fresh and the salmon teriyaki is a favorite. Great saki selection as well.“

“I recently went to Yummy Sushi, and I can't say enough good things about this little gem! As a small family-owned and operated restaurant, they truly provide a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

The sushi here is fantastic—each roll is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell that they take pride in their craft; the ingredients are top-notch, and the combinations are both creative and delicious. I especially loved their signature rolls, which are unique and packed with flavor.

What really impressed me was the value. For the quality of sushi you get, the prices are incredibly reasonable. It’s refreshing to find a place that prioritizes both taste and affordability.

The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you have everything you need throughout your meal. Yummy Sushi is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon!“

“NEVER had anything substandard here. Our entire family regularly dines here for lunches (with the grandchildren & their friends after school); and family dine-out night (weekly). We LOVE the tofu AND the Salmon Bento. Huge portions! ??????????“

“I eat here every week with my dad , food is great ,service great and prices are good“

“The flavor of this place has had me coming back for decades. Plus family owned and I love their faces 🥰“

“The food is great, the service is really friendly“

“The Real Deal is I Love Teriyaki Foothills which delivers on some good flavor! First off, the atmosphere was pretty boring, simple setup for dining in. Secondly, the service was ok, we walked in and right to the person at the register then had to wait for some food to be served by that person then a phone call then we got to place an order.

Now onto the main Event: The FooD. The Sesame Chicken was very good tasted and reminded me of L & L BBQ Chicken Katsu 8/10. Another dish tried was the Tempura Combo with Teriyaki Beef, everything was great on the plate full of flavor and crisp (8.5/10). The Teriyaki Beef is just ok 5.5/10. Lastly, Teriyaki sauce provided was very salty like mostly soy sauce 6/10.

Overall, I think I need another try here to give it a full sway one way or another. The“

“My boyfriend and I now frequent Sushi Star since discovering the place a couple of months ago! It’s always very clean. A very pleasant atmosphere. Our waitress has always been Yi. She is very pleasant and thorough. Now, then there is the master sushi chef, Eric! IOHO we think he makes the best sushi we have ever had hands down! Our BIGGEST RECOMMENDATION IS THE BAKED SCALLOPS! ABSOLUTELY DYNAMITE! Thanks guys! Neil & Courtney“

“This place is AMAZING. I love eating here! I'm really picky on what kind of sushi I like to eat, but this is the ONLY sushi place I feel like I will eat almost everything off their menu! They are VERY affordable, so I always get 2 rolls! One being the same one I always get and a new roll, every time!“

“Very surprised to see a drive thru at a teriyaki chicken restaurant. To much of our surprise, it was a quick and easy process in the drive thru. Food came out hot and delicious. Ordered the chicken egg rolls but didn’t see any chicken mostly cabbage but it still had a decent flavor. I appreciate that they supplied eating utensils and napkins even though we forgot to ask for any.“

“Absolutely amazing! Must try! I love it and have gone back the very next day. I will continue to go probably at least once a week. The food was so good I was only supposed to take a couple bites on my lunch break and take it back to work I couldn't stop eating. I sat there and ate the whole thing was late to work because it was so good. I couldn't stop and they were so polite when there was more than a couple people in line the lady brought waters to everybody in line while they were waiting and she kept bringing me free samples of the other dishes I didn't order so that I could try it while I was there. The atmosphere was so nice I loved it it felt more like a perfect restaurant.“

“Simply a marvelous surprise. Could well have been the tastiest restaurant meal I’ve ever eaten… it was that good.“

“We were visiting Sacramento for 1 day and saw the reviews for Sushi Cafe - so we tried it out - and we weren't disappointed. The sushi was very good, the staff was friendly, and the prices were quite reasonable. The only thing that disappointed was the Oyako Don - which was overcooked. All in all - this was a great find.“

“I order online from here several times a month, and it’s consistently great! The food is always ready on time, and the staff are fast, polite, and efficient. The sushi quality is reliable and tastes freshly made every time.

My son is obsessed with the seafood udon—he loves the generous variety of seafood in it. And my daughter can't get enough of the Cherry Blossom roll (honestly, I don’t blame her).

This place has become a go-to for our family sushi nights, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“I really don’t want more people to find out about this secret spot, but amazing. I’m kinda meh about seafood but this place has me coming 1-2 times a month per tradition. Best fish to rice ratio on nigiri ever. Quality is top notch for all you can eat. Gyoza (potstickers) and bulgogi (beef) make great appetizers. Best of all they don’t make you wait too long between plates. But expect a wait to get in as it is very popular. Expect 30,60,90 minute wait times if you’re coming on a weekend or busy times. But go go go.

Employees very kind and helpful. Even caught my friends Invisalign from getting tossed out and brought it out to us on the way out. That was a big save. Thank you.“

“Amazing & creative sushi rolls at 50% off all of the time. The waitresses are charming and attentive! Recently remodeled!“

“Excellent food. Steamed broccoli was to perfection. I love that teriyaki chicken had incredible flavor and that the sauce was on the side without even asking. Definitely a healthy choice when you want it to be. The service was incredibly good. I definitely recommend this place.“

“Aiko Sushi is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Ranch Cordova. The Sashimi and rolls are delicious, and the bento boxes are yummy and generous.

The employees at Aiko Sushi work hard to ensure that you enjoy the food and their service. The dining room is big, and I like the distance between the tables. The parking lot is clean and safe.

Parking: Easy parking! Many parking spaces are available when I'm there.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair friendly“

“This was my very first visit to "I love Teriyaki". I had planned on having something else for lunch but, it was closed. I walked into the restaurant and was greeted by a young man behind the counter. I thought it was nice to see the menu very large on the wall. Easy for someone who wants to take-out. The establishment is nice and was very clean. I don't think I would have stayed because it was very hot inside. Almost as hot as it was outside. I think this restaurant needs better ventilation. That was my only issue. I ordered the Folsom Lake. It was VERY GOOD and the presentation was also very good. I will be going back to get this sushi roll again and getting it for take-out. Enjoy!“

“Delicious sushi, nice service and terrific prices“

“What a wonderful happy hour ! Met some wonderful people ☺️“

“Honey chicken so good! Definitely try it“

“The owner is very attentive and friendly, service was amazing. They have a cozy vibe, and the sushi was AMAZING. The housewife roll is 10/10! They can light a birthday candle on top of a cheesecake for birthdays, so definitely recommend going here for that special celebration.

Kid-friendliness: My kids were wild, they were very nice about it. Didn't complain. Thank you so much.“

“Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy“

“One of our all time favorites. And we’ve tried it all. We always return!!“

“This is our families go to. We have been going here for many years. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and great serving size.“

“I just had dinner there and the experience was 10/10! Fast service, great food and the staff was amazing. However the reason I’m making this review is for Aaron! He was friendly, attentive and very personable. If the owner is reading this, give him a raise! He is your best employee.“

“Gift card scam. Mikunis implemented a new protocol in 2022. Any gift cards that were purchased before a certain (unknown) date, and now utilized, will be zeroed out. Back story: I attempted to use a gift card today (April 2023) and was informed it had a zero balance. The server kept my card. I had a gut feeling, asked for the card back. I spoke to the manager about how I could have a zero balance when I had never used it. The manager informed me that corporate zeroed out all gift cards that weren’t used. In order for me to get my money on the gift card, I have to call corporate headquarters and “request” an inquiry; which I did to no avail. It’s not about “expired” gift cards. It’s about not informing consumers ahead of a new rule that gift cards be zeroed out before a certain date. I’ve used 10 year old gift cards at other restaurants without any problem. Biggest scam ever.“

“Went there for the first time this weekend. Server was very knowledgeable about the ingredients. As someone who has a gluten and dairy intolerance, that was very comforting. I do wish they had top allergens marked on the menu but that's just me. The food was also very good!“

“the food was bomb.First time eating here.Definitely will be back“

“In a nutshell; good food, 50% advertised rolls (feels more like 25% in today's economy), odd spot for a restaurant to be at though.

Imagine there's a sushi Restaurant randomly in the back of a winco or a foodmaxx or something alike, that's how it seems where this Restaurant was at. Nevertheless, despite initial appearances, the place felt almost like a hole In a wall type of establishment, the inside almost feel similar to a home as it is family owned and feels rather close to actual local establishments in Japan. 50% off sushi sounds too good to be true but the sushi is actually rather decent, though if you aren't careful you'd find yourself still paying for a hefty price (considering today's economy and all). Server was nice. Food didn't take long at all. Glad with the overall experience. The bathroom's also odd though cause it's locked oddly. You are prompted to knock before entering which is odd.“

“Came in without a reservation and they were able to seat us immediately. Staff was friendly and quick. The food is the same standard that you'd expect so no complaints. Overall it was a good experience.

Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled vegetarian options. I'd recommend the vegten roll.

Parking: It's a pretty busy plaza so it was pretty hard to find parking.“
