“Went here for my brother’s birthday. The food was absolutely delicious. Great location too. They were very kind and attentive even though we had a bigger party and ended up stay close to 3 hours . I was for sure they would try to rush us out but no they let us do our thing. If you haven’t checked them out yet, do it. You won’t be disappointed.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Service was ok. The roll we got was very good. Good rice to filling ratio and made well. I enjoyed the mixed tempura as they used interesting vegetables like okra.Tasty, crispy, light batter. Could have been served hotter though. The only thing that was absolutely terrible was the $12 ribeye skewer. Worst I’ve ever tasted. Cold, old, tough, terrible marinade.“

“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 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.“

“This place is such an amazing local gem! Its very casual atmosphere is welcoming, and gives off half Japanese bodega/restaurant vibes, as they have both imported goods and yummy eats. The staff is so friendly and honestly made it feel like family serving us. I felt like we were actually eating in a local restaurant in HI, their family is originally from HI, so man the local grindz and chill vibe was spot on. I had the sesame chicken bento box and tempura shrimp à la carte, hubby had a sushi roll with tempura shrimp, cream cheese, avocado, and salmon on top. Everything was really good, very fresh and so ono/oishii. Loved that the tempura and sesame chicken were battered not panko crusted, although they do have panko crusted things on the menu that I’m sure are super yummy. And we had to try their HI snow, which is actually legit HI shave ice, not shaved ice, actually soft shave ice. They even import their syrups from the islands. So so amazing. Thanks for the warm welcome for our first visit Kristy, hope I got your name right. Everyone should check out this place which has been around for nearly 31 years!! Can’t wait til our next visit, I’m glad our mom had a haircut near you guys so we could find you!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We came with a large group and only one guy was working but he made our food really fast. Everything we ordered was fresh, hot and DELICIOUS. we really enjoyed the bulgogi beef and our teriyaki bowls. Thier homemade hot sauce was a nice touch and very flavorful.“

“great family restaurant. friendly staff.“

“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 🥰“

“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! ??????????“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Good customer service highly recommend triad plate 🍽️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love this place. Freshest affordable sushi anywhere. We were visiting family and hadn't had sushi in 3 years since we moved. Used to come here when they first opened before we moved. And it's only gotten better. The staff are amazing. Going to miss it until we visit again.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 :)“

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

“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!“

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

“The freshest, the friendliest, clean and so yummy. we have celebrated my entire families birthday here the past yr and a half“

“Delicious sushi, nice service and terrific prices“

“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.“

“A must try whole in the wall. Very authentic Japanese vibe and the food is very good! Dragon roll, one of the best roll we have ever had in the US. One piece of Nigiri here gives you twice as much fish and rice as most other places. We will go back for sure!“

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

“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!“

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