50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Citrus Heights

“Excellent menu.
Excellent service.
Excellent food quality and presentation.
Negatives. Felt like their ac was not working well on this hot day and therefore it was a bit stuffy.
They were also out of an appetizer and dessert which should not be the case early Saturday evening before the dinner rush.“

“The menu has an amazing description of their pork. They were not exaggerating. The pork alone is worth the trip. Some of the best I've ever had. The ramen was good too with an option for extra noodles! Lots of variety on the menu with friendly, helpful staff.“

“Mizuki in Citrus Heights is hands down my favorite spots for sushi in Sacramento. It’s become a go-to for our work (Deacon) crew for years; we’re here so often that the owner, Ella, knows us all by name. That personal touch makes every visit feel special.

The food is consistently amazing. The Red Dragon roll is my favorite with jalapeño peppers also it’s just packs the perfect kick. The Citrus Roll is fresh, flavorful, and a perfect signature touch. And don’t even get me started on the gyoza—easily the best in town. Pam seared to perfection on the outside, flavorful inside, and always served piping hot.

Whether it’s a casual lunch or a post-shift sushi fix, Mizuki is always my go-to. Can’t recommend it enough!“

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

“Wow. Just had the most amazing sushi experience. New place Roku near our house. A curated experience with individual accompaniments with each fish type. This was the Sashimi presentation with more exotic fish. All are aged fish which added to the evening“

“Silver Sake “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”. This is the go to place for sushi. It’s more than good food. It’s an experience. The staff from chefs, wait staff, to kitchen staff, greet, engage you with friendly smiles. The food is always amazing my kids enjoy their chef choice (Omakase) rolls. Matter of fact we always leave it up to the chef to make whatever they see fit to serve us. Never been disappointed and always left our appetites pleasantly satisfied. When it’s time to leave, as you walk out the doors, you’re always sent off with “ We’ll See You Tomorrow”. It takes every ounce of willpower to not return the next day.
Silver Sake Carmichael’s Hidden Gem!“

“Great sushi amazing staff, would recommend and give a 5 star“

“I wish I could give 10 stars for atmosphere, service, and food. Chef Cam’s delivery and expertise of his craft was unmatched — who knew such a gem exists right here off Madison Ave.

Oh, and ask if they have Truffle! Sourced wild and locally from The King’s Bolete.“

“We ordered two combos of the ramen and kimbap and one of the soup (I forget), bulgogi kimbap, and the fire chicken. All were very good. Our server was a young woman who had blue hair. She was very nice and attentive and polite. I loved her! The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. I want to come back and try their other food.“

“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!!“

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

“Wife and I went for lunch today, we had the seaweed salad, ebi nigiri, spciy California roll, ocean roll and dragon roll. The food was very fresh and each item tasted great. Most sushi places I go to all rolls taste the same. This was not the case at Tokyo express. We will be back.“

“The best sushi in the area without question. They never skimp on portions and they always have the freshest fish, that just melts in your mouth. And of course, they always super friendly.“

“What a great place to come celebrate my son’s victory at state cup quals today. Next stop State Cup Semi-Finals. Victoria did amazing, very quick and pleasant- her as our server made it that much better of a celebration. I should have taken before photos but my son and I pretty much devoured everything without breathing. 😋 Thank you Pier 50 for the incredible experience“

“My wife and I began coming to Oki at the end of 2023 - Marlon and his team continue to provide a welcoming atmosphere with a delicious mix of Japanese cuisine. The sashimi and nigiri is always presented well with generous cuts, and my wife loves the assortment of Maki sushi. We've sampled a number of other dishes as well - be it Udon, tempura or teriyaki dishes - all of it satisfying and delicious.

This has become one of the few places we frequent when we're not back over at our second home in Japan - if that's not enough of a compliment, I don't know what is! Will definitely be back soon!“

“Their shave ice is very soft and fluffy, not hard at all. They're also generous with the syrup but not to the point where it's too sweet. Also recommended their beef teriyaki. The beef is thin and easy to chew and there is always the right amount of sauce.“

“Everything was amazing! We got edamame, 3 sushi rolls and Tonkatsu Ramen all of it was fresh and flavorful. I was skeptical about the edamame but that was also wonderful. Their service was great as well as the atmosphere! We will be back for sure, this is definitely my new go-to sushi place!“

“This place is a hidden gem! I’ve never ordered a wrong thing here —all of the ingredients are fresh and prepared with care. When you order a chef’s choice selection, they will sometimes include real wasabi (along with the regular paste wasabi that is more common at restaurants). The look of the restaurant, as well as the visual presentation of the dishes, are very pretty and photo-worthy. The A5 Miyazaki Wagyu is phenomenal. The paper hotpot was a unique and imaginative experience —no single bite was ever the same, but constantly evolving. Sometimes we want to just have a simple meal to feed ourself, and other times we are lucky enough to have a delicious meal and take part in a creative process. If you enjoy food and art then give this place a try.“

“This is one of the best Teriyaki place in the area! Consider this as a small mom and pop restaurant that gives you generous portion with flavorful taste. My personal favorite is Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu combo plate. My wife loves sushi so she usually gets Alaska Dream and Americano. We come here at least once a month and never get disappointed!“

“Randomly decided on this place last minute and what a hidden gem. It was pretty busy but no wait. They had beer, wine, and even Pepsi Zero which is rare! We started with jalapeno poppers, which were excellent, not too spicy but a little kick. We got Garlic Shyou Ramen and Bibimbap, both absolutely amazing, we can’t wait to go back“

“Love this place. The food is just great. It is the best Sushi my wife and I have ever had. You have to try the Roseville Rolls which are fantastic! And the Lion King roll and Tiger roll are also wonderful. The portions are very generous and so many great dishes. Enjoy!“

“The food left a very positive impression and the portion sizes felt well worth the price. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, especially the teriyaki chicken, which stood out as one of the best I have had. It is a place I would happily visit again and recommend to anyone nearby.“

“I've eaten here probably close to 30 times since they opened, including pickups during covid. There's a few Ramen spots around Roseville at this point, but they are the best. For that classic Ramen, just get the fukumi ramen with spicy on the side. Also, for when they finally open indoor dining, they sell beer for like 3ish dollars, which is awesome.

Edit 4 years later: I can track inflation with my fukumi takeout receipts. Have probably had close to 300 bowls of ramen from them.
Still the best around the area despite numerous other spots opening. Their thick noodles just hit different. The only criticism I have is that occasionally hey have an off day with the broth tasting slightly less umami. Not sure if it's the broth itself, or maybe the aromatic oil being different, so if you try them a single time and it was so so, that could be why. Also, their beer prices went up, but what can you do. Still 5 stars 🤝“

“Excellent food and service.
While visiting Folsom I stumbled upon this gem of a place. I ordered a rice teriyaki dish with tofu and vegetables.
It was excellent!! Real tofu not the spongy kind. The portion was a good size. It was so tasty and light. Not full of oil. The owner, I'm assuming, was friendly and had lots of pride on his excellent dish. I ordered a to go chicken noodle dish for my son. He also raved about how good it was. My new favorite place to go to.“

“Food is fantastic! Service is a bit clunky, we didn't get some of our dishes until we were almost ready to go. Atmosphere is a bit open and noisy depending on how many patrons are dining. All in all, strongly suggest you go for the food. You can always get it to go.“

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

“great family restaurant. friendly staff.“

“It was a very unique and an elite experience. The place the ambiance food service everything was slick. The food was unbelievably delicious. I had zakuro spaghetti. The light cream sauce in which the seafood and el Dante udon noodles was served in a well presented manner made my weekend special. Highly recommend for a date night or any special event night if you would like a slick and elite experience . Food be it salad or entree or shooter was done with great care. The chef meets the guests he did look like lawyer Vince who is trending on fb reels now. Five star experience.“

“We are long time visitors to Blue Nami and we love the convenience and how easy it is to also order it to go, the atmosphere is really cool. Kind of feels like Pirates of the Caribbean in there. The food is delicious my favorites the yummy yummy roll, crazy fly the lion King and the Jack special. If you love sushi, you will love this place. It taste so delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try.“

“Best option for food in the mall hands down!! You already breaking the bank why pay the price to on your health as well??? Eat healthy, feel better!!!! Yum . On my way to eat here second day in a row. Thank you for providing healthy option here in the galleria mall!!!“

“Nice hibachi place. They don't inertact with you to much. Fried rice is always great. Wish the meat had more seasoning.
The jalepeno pepperfin. Had a great smokey flavor. They take pictures of groups and hang them on the walls.“

“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.“

“I liked the sushi. The all you can eat menu is good and has a lot of items. I mostly like the shrimp tempura rolls and other sushi is good too. I did feel the sauce on some of the sushi made the sushi taste too sweet but overall a good dining experience. The garlic edamame is awesome, very garlicky and delicious, fried rice and miso soup was good. It's also nice to be able to order half rolls, that way you can try a bunch of different sushi“

“try it out people always say they want something new something different. Well here's something different so try it out!“

“Good customer service highly recommend triad plate 🍽️“

“This place was worst every bite. The owner was very personable and took care of us. This sushi quality is amazing they could definitely charge more if they wanted but the price is so reasonable. If I lived in the area, I would come here every day.“

“We visited Tangs for the first time on the 3rd of July. Exceptionally busy but even with a slower service than we anticipated we absolutely will be back. It was worth the wait!“

“Pretty packed and loud but it was worth it. The food was really delicious. We had a great time. All the servers were great. It's a little on the pricey side but they give you big portions. My friends ordered family style and we all got so sample each other's food. I'd go again if I'm in town.“

“Come and try the best sushi in Sacramento!“

“Great food, friendly staff, nice fully stocked bar and modern interior. Will be back for sure.“

“Came in for a quick lunch with my husband and we’re not disappointed!

Staff was very friendly and helpful and choosing what to get. Food was delicious!
I got the chicken ramen, husband got the spicy Thai chicken and we shared the dragon rolls.

Definitely recommending to others and visiting again :)“

“The fish is fresh and the rolls are bomb“

“Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy“

“This is my favorite place for lunch. The food is consistent. The staff are friendly. The music is good. I have never had a bad experience.“

“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!“

“My personal experience here was very positive one and the employee that served me was very kind and helpful her name was Nia and she did a wonderful job. The food was pretty good on par with other sushi restaurants around. Inside there a moderately loud environment but nothing that prevented conversation. Overall I had a good experience here and will definitely put it on my list of top sushi spots.“

“Best Sushi/crew in town..“

“Went there with a large group they got us seated right away . Server was very attentive and the food is always amazing .“

“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.“
