“Oysters are always fresh the atmosphere is inviting and service never disappoints Always a treat to eat here ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Wow. Just had the most amazing sushi experience. New place Roku near our house. A curated experience with individual accompaniments with each fish type. This was the Sashimi presentation with more exotic fish. All are aged fish which added to the evening“

“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!“

“I visited here for the first time tonight and had the BEST experience! I had just gotten off a long and busy shift at work and wanted to treat myself to dinner. I looked up some sushi restaurants nearby and spotted this one and wanted to give it a try! Everyone from the hosts, servers, and chefs were so kind and attentive. I ordered the Salmon Truffle Sashimi and Sun Roll and it was genuinely the most quality fish I’ve had and hands down the best sushi rolls I’ve eaten! Thank you Sushi Paradise and staff for an amazing meal and wonderful end to my night. I will most definitely be back and I recommend anybody to add this place to their list of Go-To restaurants! 🙌🫶“

“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.“

“Teriyaki chicken and every meat taste really delicious and I really want to eat every day! Also, the Servers are really kind and helpful! I really like teriyaki grilled chicken in Arden mall!!“

“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.“

“The broth was on hit! Even though I brought my own pepper sauce but the broth was cool. Out of all Shabu places I been this place gets a 10.“

“On Wednesday we returned to Tokyo Table with my brother and his wife—a place we’d visited before, now revisited with new company and familiar anticipation.

We began with a cucumber sunomono, its crisp texture evoking the brisk clarity of autumn air. For their main course, they chose teriyaki salmon and chicken—both grilled to perfection, glazed in a sauce that needed no praise, only silence and clean plates. My husband and I opted for a curry crowned with chicken katsu, a dish that stirred memories of our travels through Japan years ago. The curry was smooth, mellow, and deeply comforting—just as we remembered it, yet somehow more refined.

That night, every bite was a quiet celebration. And once again, Tokyo Table proved itself not just a restaurant, but a keeper of seasons, stories, and taste.“

“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.“

“What a great place to come celebrate my son’s victory at state cup quals today. Next stop State Cup Semi-Finals. Victoria did amazing, very quick and pleasant- her as our server made it that much better of a celebration. I should have taken before photos but my son and I pretty much devoured everything without breathing. 😋 Thank you Pier 50 for the incredible experience“

“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.“

“Just go!

The ramen is as authentic as it gets!

Kara miso ramen with pork chashu
And a pork bun

Can’t find this anywhere else, the pork chashu is my favorite. It’s chared but glazed? Yum! Very spicy be careful 🤪

I love coming here! Great service!“

“First off don't let their exterior scare you off. I drove by the restaurant, saw the darkened for and no windows and almost left without going inside. I was pleasantly surprised to find a bright welcoming restaurant inside. I ordered the lunch special. It was up quickly and they packed my to-go bag with chopsticks, plastic ware, napkins and extra sauce packets! Food was tasty and fresh. Definitely coming back again.“

“The uni nigiri was rather delightful. Same for the arctic char nigiri. The maki are tastefully presented and taste great. The maitre d’ is warm and welcoming and offers great recommendations to guide you towards their freshest and choicest seafood. Restaurant doesn’t look like a lot from the outside, but it is comfortable clean well lit and charming inside. Will definitely come back and make it part of my regular restaurant rotation..“

“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“

“Checked Fuji out for brunch today. Cool atmosphere, great service, and excellent food. Big banquet room upstairs that holds 100 people. Excited to try them for dinner!“

“Randomly decided on this place last minute and what a hidden gem. It was pretty busy but no wait. They had beer, wine, and even Pepsi Zero which is rare! We started with jalapeno poppers, which were excellent, not too spicy but a little kick. We got Garlic Shyou Ramen and Bibimbap, both absolutely amazing, we can’t wait to go back“

“The food is absolutely stellar and the servers there are top notch and know how to time the dishes well!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I'm not a fan of most miso soup but this miso was so tasty I picked up the bowl and tipped it back to get it all out the teriyaki beef with spicy tuna roll and chicken tasty with tempura roll combo plates 🍽 tasty tasty and plenty on the plate did not leave hungry“

“I’ve been coming to Ju Hachi for years, and it never fails to impress. The fish is always fresh and top quality. My favorite spot is the bar when Sang is behind it. He’s not only attentive but also friendly and entertaining, making every visit feel special. Connor and Alan are fantastic as well, and the three of them together create such fun banter that the meal is both delicious and entertaining. Ju Hachi is always our go-to when we’re craving sushi, and I can’t recommend the chirashi enough!“

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

“great family restaurant. friendly staff.“

“wonderful little place. clean, excellent service, outstanding food. try it when you get a chance.“

“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.“

“My Girlfriend & I were going out on a late night date, we love sushi and decided to try some place new. We got in at 11:15pm and were greeted by extremely friendly staff and advised that last call was in 15 mins and if that was ok ? We said of course and sat down, we ordered a couple of rolls, some stuffed jalapeños, miso soup and a little more. Food was prepared well, tasted amazing and blew us away!! Definitely a new spot to go to !“

“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.“

“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.“

“Simply a marvelous surprise. Could well have been the tastiest restaurant meal I’ve ever eaten… it was that good.“

“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.“

“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“

“Chef Frank Japanese Cuisine was an unforgettable dining experience because of how authentic and detail-focused everything was. The restaurant itself is simple and elegant, with a peaceful atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you sit down. I started with miso soup and edamame, both of which were fresh and comforting. Then I moved on to sushi, and it was some of the best I’ve had in Sacramento. The fish was incredibly fresh, sliced with precision, and served beautifully. Every roll was balanced perfectly - nothing felt overdone or overly flashy. I also ordered a sashimi platter, and each piece melted in my mouth. The rice was seasoned just right, which made a big difference in the overall experience. The staff were professional and attentive, refilling drinks without me ever having to ask. What impressed me most was how much care went into the details - from the plating to the timing of each course. It felt like Chef Frank and his team truly honor the traditions of Japanese cuisine. I left feeling both full and grateful for the experience.“

“Honestly this place has the absolutely best food and atmosphere. I loved the outdoor misters. Highly recommend. Most important the staff was outstanding.“

“Good service. Free bday desserts“

“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!“
