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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“great family restaurant. friendly staff.“

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

“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.“

“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! ??????????“

“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!“

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

“I'm not a fan of most miso soup but this miso was so tasty I picked up the bowl and tipped it back to get it all out the teriyaki beef with spicy tuna roll and chicken tasty with tempura roll combo plates 🍽 tasty tasty and plenty on the plate did not leave hungry“

“Edit: Updated to 5 stars, I was just hangry. Still love this place and will be back very soon for another Deluxe plate!!!

Love the food, one of my favorite places. But last time I used the online ordering system, it sent my food to the wrong location. I called to ask what happened, but what I was told is that all I could do is come pick up my already cold order. It was good but cold. Ill come back because I like the food, but customer service could use a little work.“

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

“This is my favourite restaurant ever i go here all the time. from what i understand there use to be three restaurants with one owner, one on mack RD and there's one in Stockton city and the one on Kiefer Blvd. The restaurants closed or sold to different owners, the one on Kiefer Blvd is the best restaurant in sacramento i give it 10 out of 10. Best food in town.“

“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.“

“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“

“Good go to place for lunch. People are nice and food is usually served up pretty quickly. Good selection of various Teriyaki dishes. You'll get a good lunch here at a decent price. It's a stop and go kind of place. But if you're hungry it fits the bill.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Really great food and pretty affordable. The sushi is always great quality. The rolls have layers of texture and flavors to them that keeps you finishing your plate every time. Also their happy hour menu is bussin. Love this place. Keep on being the best.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“The place was clean, and nicely decorated. The staff is friendly and attentive.“

“Delicious sushi, nice service and terrific prices“

“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.“

“Honey chicken so good! Definitely try it“

“Absolute gem of a sushi place. I have lived in Japan and this is the most authentic look, feel and taste of a sushi place I have visited stateside. It's certainly not fancy, but it would not be out of place in a back alley of Osaka. Authentic prices too, very reasonable for the quantity and quality.

If you like authentic real Japanese street food sushi you must go here.

2nd trip: still awesome“

“I tried the hot stone Bibimbap here and it was DELICIOUS. The house sauce was really good, I also loved the greens and fresh vegetables and tofu. Their kimchi was also very good, too! Even the presentation of the meals looked beatiful. The lady working there was very friendly and sweet. The prices are also good for what I'm getting Highly reccomend eating here!“

“Great food! The miso and tonkatsu broth were very tasty. Service was great and the lady assigned to our table was very, very nice . Great food and service !!!“
