28 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lincoln

“I've been to this restaurant for years; it is a nice thing to be able to say that despite living just due north of Roseville, which is filled to the brim with amazing places to eat, here in Lincoln, like 5 minutes from my house is the best Japanese Restaurant in Northern California. From the service to the prices to the actual quality of food, this is by far one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, and their food is outrageously good.“

“Fantastic food, great food match wine/sake list (and a sake sommelier) fi you are an oyster, sushi, ceviche fan, this is the spot.“

“friendly staff; great atmosphere“

“I commend Roku for their excellent food quality. The Tempura is perfect. Authentic Tempura as ypu can get. It is obvious they change their tempura frying oil, and it doesn't have that motor oil soaked look. The pop corn shrimp special is da bomb. Like walnut shrimp but with pine nuts. You can enjoy it, the butter lettuce it came with. The steamed rice is also excellent and goes well with any entree on the menu. Price is on the high side, but no regrets as you get excellent tasty food. Clean and modern vibes with friendly it staff. I just wish their bento box options would offer more combinations. Overall, excellent Japanese neighborhood restaurant.“

“This place IS the new hidden gem of local great food (hidden not for long). Great service and amazing food! Extensive menu. Closest too- if you live from Newcastle to Loomis… for high quality! And I thought driving down Granite Drive was too far! Thanks for the great dining experience!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Was in the area and decided to try this new spot. It did not disappoint. Quick and friendly service made the early dinner wonderful. We started off with stuff mushrooms they are to die for! The lobster roll and white dragon roll are also super yummy. You get your money's worth with the lobster in the roll and on the side.“

“Noma is hands down the best sushi place in Rocklin area. They have a roll called the dancing queen, the tempura jalapeños on the top are absolutely amazing. Spicy edamame is delicious. Sushi taste so fresh and the ramen is so tasty too!
They are fast and great service!“

“It was our first time trying this place, so we ordered a lot (we always order a lot when we try a new place). Thai chicken was a bit dry, but spicy pork was really good. Bibimbap was very nice, but they forgot to give us gochujang (Korean red pepper paste), so we have to use our own. Vegitable croquettes were very good, my favorite style! (My mom used to make me this kind of croquettes when I was kid ?) super friendly service and good food.“

“I enjoyed my meal, my family unfortunately didn't like their dishes. Weird taste, even though my mom ordered something similar to mine the broth tasted much differently. I will definitely come back, the ramen was warm and delicious. And this place sells Stella Artois Cidre, I can't even find it in stores around here! The service was kind, I would like it if they kept customers updated on the food delays though.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“A friend and I went there to celebrate a birthday and it was phenomenal! We came in 20 mins before closing and we were greeted and welcomed without and rush to hurry out of there! They had buy 2 rolls get one free, so we indulged. We had this amazing server ALIYA (spelling unsure) and she was AWESOME! the food was great. And we had sooo much fun!!“

“this was my first time eating Japanese food, as far as I know, definitely my first time trying sushi. we tried three plates and shared and it was delicious! I got the 911, and we got a volcano, I think, and I can't recall the third plate that we shared. it was delicious! unfortunately, there is no low carb option. The sushi is overwhelmed with salty rice. overall this is unhealthy food but I can't argue with the flavor. definitely not for someone on a low-carb diet, like me. but I made an exception for a date with a lovely lady. Don't get me wrong, I will return to try something else, but this is not a go-to for me because of the high carb rice.“

“Just ate here for the very first time and the food is absolutely delicious and fresh. We had Gyro and koobideh plate with basmati rice. It tasted like homemade food that’s made with a lot of love Perfect amount of spices and lots of flavor. We will definitely be back.“

“This was our first time here and the food was amazing! The only issue that we had was the smell from the cleaning supplies they use. It was overpowering everything. I appreciate that the restaurant is very clean but they need to use a different cleaning product. Otherwise, I highly recommend the food here!“

“Friendly waitress and awesome foods! Fish quality is great. Food portion is delicious and huge (Chirashi). Love the thick slices of salmon sashimi I had today. I recommend this restaurant because the prices are reasonable for what you get :) I will try their other dishes next time.

Parking: Good amount of parking space“

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

“Best Sushi/crew in town..“

“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.“

“The service was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food is amazing for the price point. The fish and crab we ate in the sushi was very fresh. The atmosphere was light and relaxed with the bar being a center piece of the room. Would definitely return for more!“

“We ate lunch food was amazing and wonderful“

“For the price , the all you can eat is excellent. The food is fresh and very tasteful. To many rolls to try in one visit“

“Little Tokyo is in the food court at Roseville Galleria. Great food, large portions, good prices, friendly service, & food is always fresh. Wonderful hot & sour soup.

Wheelchair accessibility: The Galleria has excellent access, I use a wheeled walker with no problems with going anywhere.“
