“We were genuinely impressed by the level of service and the overall cleanliness of the place—even the restrooms smelled freshly cleaned, which is rare and says a lot about their standards. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We even struck up a conversation with the table next to us—they’ve been coming here regularly and are always very satisfied. It was our first visit, but definitely won’t be the last!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ran in for a quick takeaway order. I'm impressed bc the food is tasty, the staff is polite, the dining room is cute, and the business is environmentally friendly.

Food: $8 for 2 pc sake (salmon) nigiri. Fish portion is huge and fresh. Sushi rice is prepared and seasoned well. $13 for chicken karaage. Super crunchy, marinated thigh pieces served with lemon and spicy mayo. Also a good portion.

Packaging: My to-go order was packaged in all recyclable or biodegradable materials! This is something I dont always see here in Sacramento. Staff also asked what supplies I might need (chopsticks, wasabi, soy sauce) to cut down on waste. Really appreciate these conscientious business practices.

Ambience: There is bar seating by the sushi chef. More bar further away. Tables are spacious and comfy looking. TVs showing sports games when I went in. I'll definitely be back for dining in to have a beer and dinner! See you soon.“

“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!!“

“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 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 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“

“My partner and I live nearby and have been meaning to try this place. What they’ve done with the exterior and interior is beautiful. The service and the food were amazing.

Excited to have a new go-to sushi spot so close to home.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“First time here and we loved it! The food was across the board delicious. We had spicy edamame, red balls, stuff mushrooms, two rolls that were scrumptious. Our waitress was lovely and attentive. The chefs were enjoying themselves and very friendly.

Had my first sake bomb!
Definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“food was amazing! we absolutely loved all the nigiris we got. our server edgar was so bomb, he kept the food coming and constantly made sure we had everything we needed 😫 we got the chino fizz which i recommend to anyone who wants to try a mocktail“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Teriyaki Town offers delicious Japanese food in Roseville. The spicy pork plate was flavorful and extremely tender. Appetizers like the crispy egg rolls and pot stickers were great. I really recommended the Lion King Roll – it has excellent flavor! Expect generous portions, a variety of Japanese dishes beyond teriyaki, and friendly service. A solid choice for a satisfying meal.“

“great family restaurant. friendly staff.“

“My girlfriend Sumi and I come to Noma on a regular basis because the food, services, and overall experience is always 5 star!!! Giimaa the owner is so friendly and welcoming. We love Giimaa and her daughter’s service. If you are looking for a good ramen/sushi joint with fair prices come to Noma Sushi & Ramen! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Been eating at Hana Tsubaki for 30 years and it’s consistently fantastic. The sushi is innovative and fresh and the salmon teriyaki is a favorite. Great saki selection as well.“

“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! ??????????“

“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 eat here every week with my dad , food is great ,service great and prices are good“

“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!“

“Can’t Believe I Just Found This Place!

I seriously can’t believe I’m only trying this spot now—I literally live right around the corner! This Japanese restaurant is an absolute gem. The sushi is fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Every bite felt like a treat. The rest of the menu is just as good—high-quality ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors all around.

The service was amazing—super friendly and attentive without being over the top. The atmosphere is cozy but modern, with a calm, welcoming vibe that made the whole dining experience even better.

And the parking? Tons of it. No stress

I already can’t wait to come back—and next time, I’m definitely trying their Omakase. If you’re in the area (or even if you’re not), do yourself a favor and check this place out. Total hidden gem!“

“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.“

“Love this place. Great staff, great food. 100% recommended.“

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

“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.“

“variety looks so fresh and delicious! bringing a friend for our first visit to Vacaville location on Sunday..can't wait!“

“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“

“Excellent food & service.Great.“

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

“Excellent meal. Every dish was very good. Classic yet complex. High quality.

We had scallop phyllo, oysters, sashimi, a couple of rolls, and the miso brule.

Service was excellent.

Parking: Street parking can be hard. There's a garage nearby that has plenty of space.“

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

“First timer here and tried their Wednesday lunch special, half sesame chicken / half teriyaki chicken with rice, side salad, and cooked veggies. You could taste the sesame oil in the veggies, it was good. The salad dressing was just ranch I think, was hoping for asian salad dressing. The Teriyaki sauce was good, not too salty, a little sweet.

Most likely to be one of my regular lunch places :)“

“Love the happy hour menu!! Great prices and great food!! Right around the corner from my work. My new little spot. I recommend everyone to try out this hidden 💎“

“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!“

“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!“

“We were visiting Sacramento for 1 day and saw the reviews for Sushi Cafe - so we tried it out - and we weren't disappointed. The sushi was very good, the staff was friendly, and the prices were quite reasonable. The only thing that disappointed was the Oyako Don - which was overcooked. All in all - this was a great find.“
