46 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rancho Cordova

“Seoul 1979 was a great find. The service was quick, welcoming, and efficient, and the food tasted fresh and made with care.

I ordered the Bulgogi Cupbap and thoroughly enjoyed it. The beef was tender and flavorful, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion was satisfying without feeling overly heavy. The kimchi on the side was a nice added touch.

I can’t speak for the Japanese offerings, but based on the Korean food alone, I’d happily come back.“

“Outstanding! True Top-Chef Level Quality

I recently tried Young’s Teriyaki in Rancho Cordova, and it completely blew me away. The food here is genuinely top-chef level quality.

I ordered both the regular Teriyaki Bowl and the Spicy Chicken Bowl. Both were absolutely outstanding. The chicken was perfectly grilled, incredibly tender, and not dried out at all. The classic teriyaki sauce has the perfect balance of sweet and savory without being overwhelming. The spicy chicken had a fantastic kick to it that kept me coming back for more.The portions are generous, the ingredients taste incredibly fresh, and the flavors are spot on. If you are in the area and craving high-quality teriyaki, this is the absolute best spot in town. I will definitely be a regular customer here!“

“We’ve always had great customer service here. However today was a bad experience for us with one of their servers, Helen. We asked her for help as she was walking by but she cut me off before I could finish my question. She said very rudely to us “your server will help you with whatever you need,”before walking off. There were only 3 tables seated and it was not busy as we went right when they opened so I felt her response towards us was unnecessary and dismissive. I hope management will retrain staff as needed.

Despite the bad service experience today, we really enjoy Sake AYCE Sushi and would highly recommend this place. The fish quality and food always tastes fresh.“

“Come and try the best sushi in Sacramento!“

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

“Absolutely worth it. I got the large sashimi and spicy garlic edamame and cleaned both dishes spotless!
The staff were attentive and kind and the dining area was clean and open.

Was charging my car across the street while having dinner. It was the perfect spot to wind down and relax after a long day of driving and work.

Will definitely go back!“

“🙋‍♀️ Hi! I'm Tracy Fig, Mather & Rancho Cordova Realtor and of Korean descent. I Love Teriyaki is OUTSTANDING because it's authentic Korean BBQ, but bistro style in styrofoam To-Go boxes. The food is ready in 10 minutes, or you can call-in an order. I always order the beef teriyaki or the spicy pork cooked well done for a bit of char, which includes a small side salad and Korean-style bean sprouts. The sushi is SENSATIONAL and my sushi chef friend recommended ordering fast-swimming fish. A good roll is the Volcano because it's made of Crab, Avocado, Cucumber Salmon, Spicy Tuna w/Sauce. Cucumber adds a crunchy texture to every roll.“

“This place has all you can eat sushi which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about it haha. But they have a lot more than just sushi! They also have cooked foods, appetizers, soups, and all sorts of interesting dishes. And to top it all off, they have a full bar with lots of unique and very affordable drink options! The service is pretty fast and the fish is actually pretty good for all you can eat. I'd definitely consider coming back again sometime!“

“Great sushi amazing staff, would recommend and give a 5 star“

“Easily the best sushi in the Sacramento area. Its not close. It has ruined sushi everywhere else for me. I would eat here everyday if I could. Meet that with 5 star service and 5 star staff, its a perfect night out. Staff make you feel like family and the sushi is to die for.“

“Food looks amazing. Tastes okay but doesn’t match the appearance. Loco moco wasn’t bad, the patty was a bit overcooked and rice was very mushy. I also felt that the chicken katsu could have used more seasoning. The batter felt overpowering and could use some more balancing as well.“

“The absolute freshest authentic amazingly delightful sushi tacos I've ever had. Wings were perfect juicy with right amount of crisp and sauce. The passion fruit tea was soooo delicious. Can't wait to come back and try the Ramen. Recommend 10/10“

“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!!“

“Amazing food! We got the shushi box, unagi don (the chawanmushi is really good), and two handrails. Salmon skin roll is crunchy and delicious. All the sashimi is very fresh, but my favorite was defined the toro. Would recommend, and price point is reasonable.“

“This place is amazing, we will definitely be back.“

“Me and my Husband came here for the first time, and we were NOT disappointed!!!! This food was delicious and wonderful, our server was Mandy and she was so sweet and gracious!!!! This place is a gem, and we will definitely come back, best 🍣 sushi we have had in a very long time, and the tacos are beyond fantastic!!!!!!!So happy to have this awesome place to eat 😁“

“Wonderful Sushi in Elk Grove, well tail end of Sacramento! Try it and also enjoy the wonderful service“

“I've been coming here for over 16 yrs. I'll be very honest the only thing I order is the Bibimbap #17, no spicy. I just love the sesame sesame seed oil. The vegetables are gently sauteed in the sesame seed oil, chicken is char grilled for the prefect touch of smoke..they have some traditional items that look fresh and delicious.“

“Such a great dining experience. When Xfinity went out, I decided to visit the restaurant — best decision I’ve made all week. The new management team has really elevated things. Alexander and Bennette were amazing, guiding me through the new Japanese dishes and giving spot‑on suggestions for adult Japanese drinks. I honestly forgot how enjoyable dining out could be after COVID. We’re lucky to have this gem in Antelope.“

“What a cosy atmosphere with comfy booths and soft music! I ordered a teriyaki chicken salad plate for lunch— yummy, very fresh, tasty dressing, and a great price. Check out the sake menu! Attentive and welcoming servers made this a nice lunch experience!“

“Ate in and the food was decent. Got a to go order for my family member and it has zero sauce and was obviously rushed and thrown together lazily. The to-go should at least resemble the dine in food. The exact same roll ended up looking like crap and had no sauce at all. What a bummer..when you pay a premium for sushi you should get decent sushi. This was crap and I can't believe they served it to us after we had just spent a bunch of money eating in. We won't be back. If getting to go, check your food. They do not care about the customer and will sneak awful rolls into your bag without care.“

“great family restaurant. friendly staff.“

“We came with a large group and only one guy was working but he made our food really fast. Everything we ordered was fresh, hot and DELICIOUS. we really enjoyed the bulgogi beef and our teriyaki bowls. Thier homemade hot sauce was a nice touch and very flavorful.“

“Great food, friendly staff, nice fully stocked bar and modern interior. Will be back for sure.“

“Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy“

“We were such a big group that we took over 2 cooking table stove tops. When the cooks performed their cooking show, it was great! Big flames and throwing bits of food in the air and us trying to catch it with our open mouths was incredibly fun. We had a few kids under 10 and they REALLY loved it. We also had my 90 year old mom with a walker and the place was most accommodating. Great tasting food.
Highly recommend this place!“

“This is one of our go to sushi place in Folsom. Every time we go here it’s a treat. We have a hard time choosing. Their mix fish sushi is a must. Pepper fin tuna is one of the best I ever had. They even serve you fresh fruits at the end.

Mixed fish is GF.“

“Tied for my favorite Ramen, fukumi is so good! My only advice is to be careful taking your first bite, temperature wise it can be very hot when first served. The staff is very nice and the restaurant is very clean. Will be coming back years to come.“

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

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

“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!“

“GREAT and great service too!!“

“Good customer service highly recommend triad plate 🍽️“

“Amazing & creative sushi rolls at 50% off all of the time. The waitresses are charming and attentive! Recently remodeled!“

“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.“

“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.“

“A total hidden gem for the food alone! You get an unbelievable amount of food for just $15. I got the spicy option Teriyaki Plate, and the flavor was hit out of the park it was so sweet, savory, and perfectly spicy with a great char. To be fair, the customer service and indoor atmosphere could definitely be worked on, and the location isn’t the best. But honestly, I came purely for the food, and it delivered 100%. I'll definitely be back for more!“

“Good decent food and good service. This place have a drive thru to order or you can just dine in. Got myself the combo beef & chicken, eggroll, rice, veggies, and small drink. Good portion amount. Somehow, I like the eggrolls here. Only veggies, yet it's crunchy and flavorful (includes a sweet dipping sauce). The beef seem like it was pre-cooked and then heated up. It tasted ok in a pinch if you need beef to mix it up with other items. The chicken was freshly grilled, tender, not dry, and delicious ...highly recommended. Skip the beef, instead get the chicken!“

“I love that Arigato's still has 1/2 price sushi rolls. The sushi is always top notch and super fresh. The tempura Veg was delicious. We walked in to order to go and they had the order done in maybe 10 minutes? Super fast. Been an occasional customer for 15 years between this location and the one on Howe Ave. Always happy with my visits.“

“This is my favorite place for lunch. The food is consistent. The staff are friendly. The music is good. I have never had a bad experience.“

“Delicious sushi, nice service and terrific prices“

“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“

“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!“

“What a wonderful happy hour ! Met some wonderful people ☺️“

“This is my go-to sushi spot, and it never disappoints. I regularly make the drive all the way from Woodland just to eat here, which says everything you need to know. The quality is consistently on point, the fish is fresh, and every roll I’ve tried has been solid.

The staff is always welcoming, service is quick without feeling rushed, and the overall experience is exactly what you want when you’re craving good sushi. It’s one of those places you can count on every time.

Well worth the drive—this spot has earned its reputation.“
