50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Gold River

“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!“

“This restaurant truly offers a one-of-a-kind experience. The interior is beautifully designed, blending traditional Asian elements with modern touches to create a stylish yet comfortable setting. The staff were attentive and made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. The food was the star of the show, though. The sushi rolls were some of the best I’ve had, bursting with flavor and topped with delicate garnishes. The miso-glazed cod was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender inside. Every dish was a flavor explosion. A must-visit for any food lover!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“Really good sushi lots of fresh fish. Really tasty menu, lots of great customer service. I would recommend this wonderful restaurant to all of my friends and family. Than you“

“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 🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I like this place a lot just make sure if you are planning to go to get there earlier if possible, if you are going for a weekend dinner i reccomend going 2 hours in advance since the waitlist is always pretty long. The employees are all really nice and i have never felt bad after eating here“

“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.“

“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.“

“I come here more than I should probably admit. The sushi is always fresh, and the service is just as good. These days I usually grab takeout since I work on the road, but every time I pass by, my car somehow pulls into their lot on its own (very bizarre).

Everything I have tried has been great. One tip, if you like a little kick, ask for jalapenos on your roll. You will not be disappointed.“

“Good customer service highly recommend triad plate 🍽️“

“Went during lunch for the ayce. Food came out at an orderly fashion and came plated well. Food was very good and the staff was helpful with ordering different kinds of sushi and informing what the sushi would be like. Overall great experience inside the restaurant was super dark and hard to see even with the sun out during lunch. But food was good ayce quality. 4.0 stars“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy“

“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.“

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

“Great food, great service, AWESOME staff! Best in town.“

“must go to this place, it's really delicious and the atmosphere is very pleasant, don't miss the opportunity and you'll enjoy it a lot!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“We went to dinner last night for my mom's birthday. I think our servers name was Mason. He was very nice and did such a great job handling our large party. The food was delicious and everyone was so nice. We can't wait to go back! The lobster mania roll (I'm pretty sure that's what it's called) was one of the best rolls I have ever had in my life. I will be dreaming of it until I get it again.“

“Great food and experience. We have been to many hot places across San Franciso and this one is great for Folsom . Awesome it’s also locally owned“

“We love dining here..Food is delicious and people are very nice.Very good service,we love the servers.Very clean dining area and bathroom.We recommend this restaurant.“

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

“All you eat shushi buffet, order abd they’ll make fresh and can also order from the menu as well. Prices vary from lunch to dinner was $27, plus drinks and takeout box was $6 time a tiny box that only fits 8 shushi. Order digitally from the table. This place is always packed, arrive early. Ice cream is one scoop per bowl, so order two for each person. Same with appetizers 2 pieces per order, so order more than one! Not bad for the prices. If you love shushi this is the place for you!“

“Try the tuna sliders! Delicious!“

“First time there today.. sushi was amazing!!!“

“GREAT and great service too!!“

“Restaurant is under new management and maybe there’s a little improvement on the Customer Service. The food was still just as good as always. The prices were about the same I guess but there’s a new atmosphere of pushing alcohol. It almost gives the vibe of a bar. I did not like it. I think they went from being a classy good family restaurant to leaning towards a bar environment.“
