50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Gold River

“I love this place! I tend to prefer the quiet off hours here which are perfect. Quiet and the staff is wonderful, polite and attentive. I like to sit at the Sushi Bar and chat with Peter. My go to place these days. Amazing Sashimi, rolls and house salad dressing.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“Don't sleep on Azayaka Japanese Fusion!

Had lunch here with the husband and we were both extremely satisfied with our meals. We ordered the chu toro carpaccio, house ramen, chicken katsu, fire dragon roll and double toro roll. The fish was fresh, the katsu was banging and the ramen hit the spot. I wished the toro was a little more fatty and my husband was hoping the ramen would be spicer, but both were still good. Come for lunch, which was when we came, to get their lunch special. A specialized lunch menu that includes 2 appetizers (smaller portion than regular), a main dish or roll, and a drink.

The service was great so we will definitely be back. They do offer omakase that requires advanced reservations, so hopefully we’ll get to try this out soon.“

“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!“

“I 100% recommend this place! The staff was incredible. Their food was really good and I loved the teriyaki sauce 🤤. I loved the atmosphere because they had real plants and it felt very welcoming. We also had wonderful service, and they had our food done quickly and it was quite good. I recommend their spicy edamame and the lychee marble soda. They sell mini bamboo plants for just 10 dollars each. They also sell fun snacks, cute candies, and other things.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food was simply sensational, exceeding our expectations with every bite. The sushi was exquisitely prepared, featuring fresh, high-quality ingredients that delighted my taste buds. What truly set this place apart was the warm and inviting atmosphere, where the staff treated us like a cherished guests. From their friendly greetings to their attentive service, we felt a genuine sense of belonging. This combination of exceptional cuisine and heartfelt hospitality made our experience truly memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Silver Sake to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience where the food is extraordinary and the feeling of being part of a family is unparalleled.“

“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.“

“I recently went to Yummy Sushi, and I can't say enough good things about this little gem! As a small family-owned and operated restaurant, they truly provide a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

The sushi here is fantastic—each roll is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell that they take pride in their craft; the ingredients are top-notch, and the combinations are both creative and delicious. I especially loved their signature rolls, which are unique and packed with flavor.

What really impressed me was the value. For the quality of sushi you get, the prices are incredibly reasonable. It’s refreshing to find a place that prioritizes both taste and affordability.

The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you have everything you need throughout your meal. Yummy Sushi is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon!“

“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“

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

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

“The Real Deal is I Love Teriyaki Foothills which delivers on some good flavor! First off, the atmosphere was pretty boring, simple setup for dining in. Secondly, the service was ok, we walked in and right to the person at the register then had to wait for some food to be served by that person then a phone call then we got to place an order.

Now onto the main Event: The FooD. The Sesame Chicken was very good tasted and reminded me of L & L BBQ Chicken Katsu 8/10. Another dish tried was the Tempura Combo with Teriyaki Beef, everything was great on the plate full of flavor and crisp (8.5/10). The Teriyaki Beef is just ok 5.5/10. Lastly, Teriyaki sauce provided was very salty like mostly soy sauce 6/10.

Overall, I think I need another try here to give it a full sway one way or another. The“

“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“

“This is a fun place to go, especially with a group for Hibachi. They are quick, funny and the food is awesome. If you don't want to sit around the hibachi, you can also just order off the menu. My 8 year old really enjoyed his dinner done on the grill. They even "thew" in a few surprises!“

“I’ve been here probably 6 times now, and I honestly don’t understand how it continues to get better! Normally your first experience is great, and then it goes downhill from there. This last time I went was by far my favorite experience, they’re making the plates look more and more beautiful, and the taste of the rolls is phenomenal!!! The decor is simple, cute and clean, and the staff is so incredibly friendly! I want to take everyone I know here, lol!

They also are partnered with Fukumi, the noodle restaurant which is amazing! So I would recommend signing up for their rewards because they offer really good rewards with their point system.“

“Very surprised to see a drive thru at a teriyaki chicken restaurant. To much of our surprise, it was a quick and easy process in the drive thru. Food came out hot and delicious. Ordered the chicken egg rolls but didn’t see any chicken mostly cabbage but it still had a decent flavor. I appreciate that they supplied eating utensils and napkins even though we forgot to ask for any.“

“This was my 2nd visit here. First experience was as great as today. Today I tried their all you can eat sushi menu.

I went with 3 people +1 child - and their offerings did not disappoint. Everything we tried was delish! Portions were perfect.
My two fav’s: 49’er roll and Pink Lady.

I like this place a lot- it’s now one of my top 3 places to eat sushi ?

Parking: No parking problems - there is a large parking lot“

“My husband and I wanted some sushi for Valentine’s Day (we celebrated on Saturday) so we stopped in at Nara Sushi. The service was fantastic, quick and very friendly. Our food came out quickly, was beautifully prepared. Everything tasted fresh and was delicious. Thank you!“

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

“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!“

“Aiko Sushi is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Ranch Cordova. The Sashimi and rolls are delicious, and the bento boxes are yummy and generous.

The employees at Aiko Sushi work hard to ensure that you enjoy the food and their service. The dining room is big, and I like the distance between the tables. The parking lot is clean and safe.

Parking: Easy parking! Many parking spaces are available when I'm there.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair friendly“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy“

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

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

“I just had dinner there and the experience was 10/10! Fast service, great food and the staff was amazing. However the reason I’m making this review is for Aaron! He was friendly, attentive and very personable. If the owner is reading this, give him a raise! He is your best employee.“

“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.“

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

“Honey chicken so good! Definitely try it“

“Went there for the first time this weekend. Server was very knowledgeable about the ingredients. As someone who has a gluten and dairy intolerance, that was very comforting. I do wish they had top allergens marked on the menu but that's just me. The food was also very good!“

“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!“

“In a nutshell; good food, 50% advertised rolls (feels more like 25% in today's economy), odd spot for a restaurant to be at though.

Imagine there's a sushi Restaurant randomly in the back of a winco or a foodmaxx or something alike, that's how it seems where this Restaurant was at. Nevertheless, despite initial appearances, the place felt almost like a hole In a wall type of establishment, the inside almost feel similar to a home as it is family owned and feels rather close to actual local establishments in Japan. 50% off sushi sounds too good to be true but the sushi is actually rather decent, though if you aren't careful you'd find yourself still paying for a hefty price (considering today's economy and all). Server was nice. Food didn't take long at all. Glad with the overall experience. The bathroom's also odd though cause it's locked oddly. You are prompted to knock before entering which is odd.“

“Came in without a reservation and they were able to seat us immediately. Staff was friendly and quick. The food is the same standard that you'd expect so no complaints. Overall it was a good experience.

Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled vegetarian options. I'd recommend the vegten roll.

Parking: It's a pretty busy plaza so it was pretty hard to find parking.“

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

“GREAT and great service too!!“

“Try the tuna sliders! Delicious!“

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

“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.“

“We ordered the $32 5-roll special. Everything we ordered was delicious and would order the same 5 rolls again. So easy to order via text. They delivered and we paid curbside. She even added a free order of gyoza snd on the box wrote “we love the foodies group”. Great food and service!!“
