20 Best Japanese Restaurants in Elk Grove

“For one, it was open. Secondly, they did their best to seat us since it was late. Though the best part was that the food was good. I do have to add that some of the pricing was high, although the taste basically made up for it. But, the biggest downfall was that the portions were small.“

“I have known the owners for decades. They had two amazing restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area where I was a regular customer. Over the years that followed it was more. We became lifelong friends. I have never had a morsel of food prepared by them that was anything less than excellent and flavorful. I couldn’t wait to get to the opening of the new space there in Elk Grove. It meant a long drive down from Oregon for me now. But it was completely worth the trip. All the best to you as a Family! James, Jennifer & Adrian I couldn’t be more excited for you or proud. My meal was perfect. It was so hard to choose what to have. I need to come back down again soon so I can have even more options. Today it was the Teriyaki combo, Spicy Tuna roll, edamame and miso. Fabulous! As always. Next time I think I need to try the Eel bowl, Negi Hamachi roll and Rainbow roll.“

“The food & service is fantastic.“

“A great place. The chef and his wife are from the old school of Japanese preparation. You can feel the quality time the chef has put into your meal. When in the area, I tend to eat here!!! It reminds me of the time I lived in Tokyo my first home.“

“For some reason it won’t let me NOT RECOMMEND! Very bad customer service, they charged almost $70 for tips and didn’t even say “Thank you”. We had to literally yell for service, the table next to us was serviced by a girl and she did took care of her table, I wouldn’t recommend spending your money here, first and last time. We spent almost $500, and not worth it, not coming back“

“Love this place. Fresh ingredients and some of the best sushi rolls in town.“

“I had a fantastic experience at this sushi place! Everything was excellent — the food was fresh and beautifully presented, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality you get. Whether you’re a sushi lover or just trying it for the first time, this spot is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“Lol. Gotta laugh at some of the reviews people leave who don’t really know sushi. Love this place. Sushi is some of the freshest around. LOVE the spicy tuna and kama shou. Service was awesome. Both our habachi chef and server were fantastic. Finally took my husband and son and this is now their favorite Japanese restaurant.“
