50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rocklin

“My boyfriend and I went on a Wednesday. The place was super chic and clean. The music was really good too it was covers of some 90s music which was fire.Our server was sweet and made the environment very warm and welcoming. My boyfriend and I got miso soup cucumber salad for an appetizer which was PHENOMENAL. For our sushi rolls we ordered a dragon roll & a salmon roll (fried) both were really good and gone within 2 seconds. For dessert they have mochi ice cream and I ended up deciding on the mango flavor which was so light and fruity, delicious. My boyfriend and I will definitely be back!!!“

“These rolls and handrolls are seriously high quality craftsmanship. When walking in every visit, the Chef greets whoever enters and the host/hostess is there ready to take the order. I really enjoy the Crossings, Galleria, or Rocklin. tempura hand roll is very wonderful too!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is our favorite place for Japanese food!“

“The fish is fresh and the rolls are bomb“

“Best Sushi/crew in town..“

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

“The service was very good and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Our server was especially pleasant and did a great job, which is the main reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 3.

Unfortunately, the sushi and rolls were pretty average and not as flavorful as I expected. They weren’t terrible, but they definitely didn’t stand out and left me a bit disappointed. Maybe other items on the menu are better, but based on the sushi alone, I probably wouldn’t come back.“

“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“

“This was my second visit, and the food was just as good as the first time. I ordered the sashimi, oysters, octopus, hand rolls, and edamame. Everything was fresh and delicious, especially the sashimi and oysters. I came with my daughter, and she had a great time too. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, which made it easy to enjoy our meal as a family. We’ll definitely be back again.“

“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 😁“

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

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

“Delightful little venue. It's an order at the counter, then find a seat venue. They'll bring your food out to you when it's done. They'll also bus the table after you leave. Selection of authentic Japanese food gives you a fair amount of choices. Run by a Japanese family!“

“Amazing sushi. Very authentic flavors of fish, uni a sake that is hard to find outside of Japan. I especially loved hamachi crudo, the chu-toro and dry aged white fish Kyrodau. Both mango and crème brule deserts are to die for. Sake selection on point - Dassai, Tenbi, Abe, even spotted Juyondai bottles in the fridge. Someone certainly knows their new age sake here. You must come visit this place if you are tired of chain sushi places like Mikuni’s.“

“Overall amazing experience. Tonkatsu miso ramen was amazing. Boyfriends tantan spicy ramen was also delicious and not too spicy. Also got the chicken karaage which was cooked to perfection. Crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Definitely will come back to try other things. 🤩“

“Sushi was really really good, I got the 49’r and my friend got the Pacific (it was too plain for him though, but it is listed as a beginner’s roll, so it makes sense) and we got the heart attack (stuffed jalapeño) as an appetizer which was so good, the service was amazing and I’ll definitely be coming again“

“Super clean place to eat. Food was great but the teriyaki sauce was amazing. Probably some of the best I have ever had. Service was very fast. Went to fill my fountain drink and my order was sitting there when I returned. So I order a meal to take home for wife. She loved it. Was impressed with the sauce as well. If you love teriyaki like we do, you got to try this place.“

“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.“

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

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

“My wife recommended this place, so our family of four came here for dinner. We don’t eat sushi very often, but we do try different places from time to time. What truly sets Nara Sushi apart is the owner’s warm and genuine care for the customers. As we were finishing our meal, the owner personally carved and brought us a complimentary dessert, which made our evening even more special. Thank you, Nara Sushi, for such a wonderful dining experience.“

“Came to Pier 50 for an early dinner with friends, food was fantastic! The Fukumi roll is my fav. Our server Kaila was wonderful and was very attentive and caring. I’ve come here a couple times before and I’ll definitely be coming here more in the future!“

“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!“

“It's Sushi has easily become one of my go-to AYCE sushi restaurants. The quality of their seafood is outstanding and far exceeds what you would come to expect of an AYCE establishment. The menu is quite extensive and has different options of cooked and raw sushi as well as multiple dishes from the kitchen. The location is quite small so if you're going with a big party I recommend calling ahead. The restaurant parking is quite small but is connected to a bigger shopping plaza so there is a lot of parking available. The menu is split into 3 tiers, menu A, B, and C, with three varying price points which is nice if you dont like raw sushi, you dont have to pay for the nigiri. The sushi itself really highlights the fish quality not so much the rice, the nigiri has a tiny ball of rice only so it's not as filling.“

“Food is always so yummy! We love the Midori Ramen. It’s such a unique ramen with pesto in it and the flavor is so good! We also love the Fukumi Ramen. The pork belly has amazing flavor. Also, if you like spicy food, the spicy karaage is a must! We order two orders of it every time now because it’s so yummy. The restaurant is a little small so it’s better for smaller sized groups.“

“Havent been out in a few months. Came here to get my usual. Food was perfect as usual. But shout out to brooke for making the entire experience feel like i never left. Friendly. Fast service. And made me feel like a valued customer. Blu nami just keeps winning. 10/10.“

“Zakuro Lincoln did NOT miss 🔥

We grabbed takeout and tried:
• Top (clear container): Mike BB
• Left: Redbull
• Right: Ocean’s 11
• Bottom left: Mike Special
• Bottom right: Bumble Bee

Every roll was packed with flavor, super fresh fish, and just the right amount of sauce (not drowning, just perfect).

Favorites hands down: Bumble Bee + Ocean’s 11 🤌

Already planning our next order 🤤🤤“

“This is not my first time coming here and definitely worth coming back. Loved it the first time and loved it again this time. lighting is great in here, great fun upbeat music, but most importantly the food is hands down well prepared and delicious. portions are great and staff is super friendl! Will be back! we had miso soup, a mixed tempura, old memory roll and konan. roll 💕“

“GREAT and great service too!!“

“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!!!“

“This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The food is consistently excellent, and the customer service is always top-notch. Every visit has been a great experience, which is why this has become my go-to place whenever I want a great meal.

The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly cares about making sure customers have a wonderful dining experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared to perfection.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for outstanding food and exceptional service. They never disappoint!“

“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 recently dined at this restaurant and came away with a generally positive impression, though there is definitely room for improvement regarding their sushi portions. Right from the start, the overall atmosphere was great; the entire dining area was spotlessly clean, and the service was consistently good and welcoming.

For my meal, I decided to sample a couple of their signature sushi options. We ordered the Caterpillar roll and the Kamikaze roll. In terms of construction, both rolls suffered from a bit of an imbalance in their ingredients. The Caterpillar roll was filled mostly with cucumber, leaving only very small, sparse bits of eel inside. Similarly, the Kamikaze roll was packed with too much crunchy cucumber, which slightly overwhelmed the spicy tuna mix.

However, despite the rolls being skimped on fish and overloaded with vegetable filler, the quality of the food was still quite high. Every bite was remarkably fresh, clean, and tasty. The flavors are definitely there, and the kitchen clearly uses good components. If the chefs can balance out the ratios to include a bit more seafood and less cucumber, this place would easily earn a top rating from me.“

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

“Good customer service highly recommend triad plate 🍽️“

“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.“

“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!“

“friendly staff; great atmosphere“

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

“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.“

“First time at this location. I usually go to the Fountains location. The Bartender’s name was Mason. He totally took care of my wife and I as well as the other customers at the bar. Great customer service and made great drinks as well. I will definitely be back and recommend to my friends.“

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

“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“

“A great spot for discounted sushi rolls. The sushi is decent and the price is fair for the level of quality. This isn't one of the top tier sushi places in the area, but for the price, it's satisfies a sushi craving. The service was great and the atmosphere was cool.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
