50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rocklin

“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.“

“It was busy when I went yesterday but I was able to sit at the bar. The restaurant is relatively small so small groups are best. The food was pretty good, the roll I ordered was labeled spicy but I didn't think it was spicy at all. The presentation was nice. The service was a little slow but staff was friendly. I would go again. The restaurant is very pretty.“

“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!“

“The freshest, the friendliest, clean and so yummy. we have celebrated my entire families birthday here the past yr and a half“

“The food was delicious, with a great selection to choose from. The service was friendly and efficient. I tried the stuffed jalapeños, Volcano roll, and the Kevin roll, all of which were excellent. The spicy rolls had just the right amount of heat without overpowering the flavors. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Best Sushi/crew in town..“

“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!“

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

“I have been coming to Fukumi for awhile, not as often as I like but for awhile. The food is always super good and fresh and the staff, helping and delightful. the resturant is on the smaller side but nice and intimate. I appreciate places like these. Thank you Fukumi and wish you years of success.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“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'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“

“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.“

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

“I'm on vacation with the family. Pack your bags, I'm going to take you on a rant. A lot of the time fast food is the easiest option. We did not want everything we ate to be fast food. With that said, sushi is always a fresh option.
Zakuro is one of the best sushi places that i have come across in California. Literally. We've have been all over California. The creativity and flavors they produce are exceptional and inexpensive.
(Both rolls i ordered were deep fried. So much for being healthy lol)“

“Every birthday it’s been tradition that we go. My son absolutely loves it! The service is always great. We do the hibachi grill and the food is soo good! I got the filet mignon and lobster tail. Lobster tail was fresh and cooked perfectly and so was the filet mignon. Atmosphere is so much fun! We love this place. Thank you guys!!“

“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.“

“Best option for food in the mall hands down!! You already breaking the bank why pay the price to on your health as well??? Eat healthy, feel better!!!! Yum . On my way to eat here second day in a row. Thank you for providing healthy option here in the galleria mall!!!“

“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“

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

“This place was worst every bite. The owner was very personable and took care of us. This sushi quality is amazing they could definitely charge more if they wanted but the price is so reasonable. If I lived in the area, I would come here every day.“

“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!“

“friendly staff; great atmosphere“

“I really don’t want more people to find out about this secret spot, but amazing. I’m kinda meh about seafood but this place has me coming 1-2 times a month per tradition. Best fish to rice ratio on nigiri ever. Quality is top notch for all you can eat. Gyoza (potstickers) and bulgogi (beef) make great appetizers. Best of all they don’t make you wait too long between plates. But expect a wait to get in as it is very popular. Expect 30,60,90 minute wait times if you’re coming on a weekend or busy times. But go go go.

Employees very kind and helpful. Even caught my friends Invisalign from getting tossed out and brought it out to us on the way out. That was a big save. Thank you.“

“This place is always consistently excellent. We went to the all you can eat at lunch yesterday again. The service is outstanding and the quality of the food was great. It always smells so clean when we go in there! That is important to me. All of our fish favorites are on these rolls for all you can eat. We always finish with the fried bananas which are included. So good.“

“I was looking for a sushi place with some reasonable prices, and found this place. I was a little hesitant to try it because of the name, but I'm glad I did!

Went with a few buddies, and we got some apps and each got two rolls. We left completely stuffed and happy. We didn't even finish our apps, even though we wanted to.

I would recommend trying the Roger roll. It comes out on its own plate, and is on fire to start! It was the first time I had a flambéed sushi roll, and it definitely imparted an irresistible flavor to it (similar to wok hei).“

“Honey chicken so good! Definitely try it“

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

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

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

“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“

“Absolute gem of a sushi place. I have lived in Japan and this is the most authentic look, feel and taste of a sushi place I have visited stateside. It's certainly not fancy, but it would not be out of place in a back alley of Osaka. Authentic prices too, very reasonable for the quantity and quality.

If you like authentic real Japanese street food sushi you must go here.

2nd trip: still awesome“

“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!“

“I tried the hot stone Bibimbap here and it was DELICIOUS. The house sauce was really good, I also loved the greens and fresh vegetables and tofu. Their kimchi was also very good, too! Even the presentation of the meals looked beatiful. The lady working there was very friendly and sweet. The prices are also good for what I'm getting Highly reccomend eating here!“

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

“I found Sushi Kuma by searching online for a new place as my (prior) favorite Sushi 🍣 place closed their doors. I have dined multiple times at this business and left totally pleased each time. I have a practice of ordering in an Omakase style. The only recommendation would be to update the decor. This is second to good Sushi!“

“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 and great service too!!“

“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.“
