50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rocklin

“Wife and I went for lunch today, we had the seaweed salad, ebi nigiri, spciy California roll, ocean roll and dragon roll. The food was very fresh and each item tasted great. Most sushi places I go to all rolls taste the same. This was not the case at Tokyo express. We will be back.“

“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.“

“My wife and I began coming to Oki at the end of 2023 - Marlon and his team continue to provide a welcoming atmosphere with a delicious mix of Japanese cuisine. The sashimi and nigiri is always presented well with generous cuts, and my wife loves the assortment of Maki sushi. We've sampled a number of other dishes as well - be it Udon, tempura or teriyaki dishes - all of it satisfying and delicious.

This has become one of the few places we frequent when we're not back over at our second home in Japan - if that's not enough of a compliment, I don't know what is! Will definitely be back soon!“

“Solid food with a wide variety of menu items, casual vibe, and excellent service. Our waitress was so invested in our comfort the entire time. She was always refilling waters, getting us more napkins or small plates or ginger, and asking if we needed anything. We were a huge group and she was MOVING to accommodate all of us- it was really nice to feel so valued! Would definitely come back just for the service, but the food was also good!“

“Came in for a quick lunch with my husband and we’re not disappointed!

Staff was very friendly and helpful and choosing what to get. Food was delicious!
I got the chicken ramen, husband got the spicy Thai chicken and we shared the dragon rolls.

Definitely recommending to others and visiting again :)“

“The fish is fresh and the rolls are bomb“

“Best Sushi/crew in town..“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“Service was ok. The roll we got was very good. Good rice to filling ratio and made well. I enjoyed the mixed tempura as they used interesting vegetables like okra.Tasty, crispy, light batter. Could have been served hotter though. The only thing that was absolutely terrible was the $12 ribeye skewer. Worst I’ve ever tasted. Cold, old, tough, terrible marinade.“

“This place is such an amazing local gem! Its very casual atmosphere is welcoming, and gives off half Japanese bodega/restaurant vibes, as they have both imported goods and yummy eats. The staff is so friendly and honestly made it feel like family serving us. I felt like we were actually eating in a local restaurant in HI, their family is originally from HI, so man the local grindz and chill vibe was spot on. I had the sesame chicken bento box and tempura shrimp à la carte, hubby had a sushi roll with tempura shrimp, cream cheese, avocado, and salmon on top. Everything was really good, very fresh and so ono/oishii. Loved that the tempura and sesame chicken were battered not panko crusted, although they do have panko crusted things on the menu that I’m sure are super yummy. And we had to try their HI snow, which is actually legit HI shave ice, not shaved ice, actually soft shave ice. They even import their syrups from the islands. So so amazing. Thanks for the warm welcome for our first visit Kristy, hope I got your name right. Everyone should check out this place which has been around for nearly 31 years!! Can’t wait til our next visit, I’m glad our mom had a haircut near you guys so we could find you!“

“Everything was amazing! We got edamame, 3 sushi rolls and Tonkatsu Ramen all of it was fresh and flavorful. I was skeptical about the edamame but that was also wonderful. Their service was great as well as the atmosphere! We will be back for sure, this is definitely my new go-to sushi place!“

“This is one of the best Teriyaki place in the area! Consider this as a small mom and pop restaurant that gives you generous portion with flavorful taste. My personal favorite is Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu combo plate. My wife loves sushi so she usually gets Alaska Dream and Americano. We come here at least once a month and never get disappointed!“

“I've eaten here probably close to 30 times since they opened, including pickups during covid. There's a few Ramen spots around Roseville at this point, but they are the best. For that classic Ramen, just get the fukumi ramen with spicy on the side. Also, for when they finally open indoor dining, they sell beer for like 3ish dollars, which is awesome.

Edit 4 years later: I can track inflation with my fukumi takeout receipts. Have probably had close to 300 bowls of ramen from them.
Still the best around the area despite numerous other spots opening. Their thick noodles just hit different. The only criticism I have is that occasionally hey have an off day with the broth tasting slightly less umami. Not sure if it's the broth itself, or maybe the aromatic oil being different, so if you try them a single time and it was so so, that could be why. Also, their beer prices went up, but what can you do. Still 5 stars 🤝“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“It was a very unique and an elite experience. The place the ambiance food service everything was slick. The food was unbelievably delicious. I had zakuro spaghetti. The light cream sauce in which the seafood and el Dante udon noodles was served in a well presented manner made my weekend special. Highly recommend for a date night or any special event night if you would like a slick and elite experience . Food be it salad or entree or shooter was done with great care. The chef meets the guests he did look like lawyer Vince who is trending on fb reels now. Five star experience.“

“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!!!“

“Nice hibachi place. They don't inertact with you to much. Fried rice is always great. Wish the meat had more seasoning.
The jalepeno pepperfin. Had a great smokey flavor. They take pictures of groups and hang them on the walls.“

“I liked the sushi. The all you can eat menu is good and has a lot of items. I mostly like the shrimp tempura rolls and other sushi is good too. I did feel the sauce on some of the sushi made the sushi taste too sweet but overall a good dining experience. The garlic edamame is awesome, very garlicky and delicious, fried rice and miso soup was good. It's also nice to be able to order half rolls, that way you can try a bunch of different sushi“

“friendly staff; great atmosphere“

“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.“

“try it out people always say they want something new something different. Well here's something different so try it out!“

“I come here more than I should probably admit. The sushi is always fresh, and the service is just as good. These days I usually grab takeout since I work on the road, but every time I pass by, my car somehow pulls into their lot on its own (very bizarre).

Everything I have tried has been great. One tip, if you like a little kick, ask for jalapenos on your roll. You will not be disappointed.“

“Good customer service highly recommend triad plate 🍽️“

“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.“

“Went during lunch for the ayce. Food came out at an orderly fashion and came plated well. Food was very good and the staff was helpful with ordering different kinds of sushi and informing what the sushi would be like. Overall great experience inside the restaurant was super dark and hard to see even with the sun out during lunch. But food was good ayce quality. 4.0 stars“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love this place. Freshest affordable sushi anywhere. We were visiting family and hadn't had sushi in 3 years since we moved. Used to come here when they first opened before we moved. And it's only gotten better. The staff are amazing. Going to miss it until we visit again.“

“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 food and stellar service absolutely love this place.“

“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.“

“A must try whole in the wall. Very authentic Japanese vibe and the food is very good! Dragon roll, one of the best roll we have ever had in the US. One piece of Nigiri here gives you twice as much fish and rice as most other places. We will go back for sure!“

“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!“

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

“must go to this place, it's really delicious and the atmosphere is very pleasant, don't miss the opportunity and you'll enjoy it a lot!“

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

“First-time customer at this location. Party of 2 on a Saturday did not have a long wait. They had options to sit at the sushi bar or table. I love that the restaurant has a whole menu dedicated to gluten-free options. The fact that we have more than 2 options to eat. We chose 2 rolls and they did not disappoint. The cucumber on the outside was delicious and clean and crunchy. Will definitely return to try more rolls.“

“GREAT and great service too!!“

“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“
