50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rocklin

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Best Sushi/crew in town..“

“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.“

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

“The fish is fresh and the rolls are bomb“

“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“

“Absolutely wonderful dining experience! The quality of the food was outstanding, and every dish was beautifully presented with great attention to detail. Everything looked elegant and appetizing, and the flavors were just as impressive.

The restaurant itself is spacious, bright, and very comfortable, creating a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. From the food quality and presentation to the overall dining environment, everything exceeded my expectations. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent dining experience. Five stars!“

“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 😁“

“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“

“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!“

“Another fantastic addition to the Granite Bay dining scene! Tucked away in the former Peet’s Coffee plaza, this contemporary sushi spot is quickly becoming one of my new favorites.

The first thing I noticed was the quality and generosity of the food. Unlike many sushi restaurants, they don’t skimp on the fish or the rolls. Every dish was beautifully presented, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared.

The lobster tempura was perfectly seasoned with a light, crispy batter. The Liz Roll actually delivered on the spice (which is rare these days), and the sashimi was cut thick, buttery, and incredibly fresh. If you’re an oyster lover, don’t skip the fresh oysters—6 for $28 is a great deal. Their Happy Hour menu also offers plenty of delicious options, making it easy to sample a variety of dishes without breaking the bank.

Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday from 5–9 PM, so expect a crowd. During our visit, it seemed they may have been a bit short-staffed, and our food took longer than expected to arrive. Hopefully that’s just part of the growing pains of a popular new restaurant.

The only thing I’d love to see is a patio. With Granite Bay’s beautiful evenings, outdoor seating with a few cooling misters would make this place even more enjoyable while waiting for a table or lingering over sushi and drinks. Thankfully, they do offer a Yelp waitlist, which makes the wait much more manageable.

The staff remained friendly, welcoming, and appreciative despite how busy they were, which says a lot.

Overall, the quality of the food easily outweighed the wait. Fresh fish, generous portions, creative rolls, and a solid Happy Hour make this a place I’ll happily return to again and again. Looking forward to seeing this hidden gem continue to thrive!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Incredibly delicious ramen! The broth is rich and flavorful, and you can tell everything is made with care and fresh ingredients. The service is top-notch, and the staff is very friendly. Definitely one of the best spots in Roseville for ramen lovers. Highly recommend! 💯“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time here. Sushi were fresh and delicious. We ordered Sunshine and Prime. Salmon teriyaki was cooked to perfection. Pepper Fin pieces were yammy and they were thicker than at other restaurants. Everyone was polite and welcoming. Clean. Definitely coming back! Recommending!“

“Honestly one of the best sushi experiences I've had after visiting several other restaurants around Sacramento and roseville, service was quick and friendly, we went shortly after they opened so experience may vary on time of day but otherwise I absolutely had a blast me and my friend did indeed FEAST UPON THE FLESH OF FISH!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I have a gluten allergy and our waitress was SO helpful with accommodating it. They were able to modify almost everything to make it gluten free. I had a Philadelphia roll and crispy rice without the eel sauce (the eel sauce has gluten). Everything was so yummy! We had an excellent experience overall.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Good customer service highly recommend triad plate 🍽️“

“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!!!“

“I rarely feel compelled to write a review, but this place is a hidden gem. Roseville has plenty of excellent sushi, but sometimes a tucked away hole in the wall, with consistently great food, reasonable prices, and servers who treat you like family, is exactly what hits the spot.

It is easy to drive past without ever knowing it is there, but well worth finding. The rolls are excellent, the udon should not be missed, and there is a little treasure on the small plates menu called dragon balls. Highly recommended.“

“Excellent food with a diverse menu for those who wish to order something other than sushi. You can easily make a meal with the appetizers alone, which I have done on more than one occasion. Mikuni is our go to for special occasions and when we have guests visiting.“

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

“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.“

“Came here for the first time and ordered the crazy fries, bulgolgi beef, and tonkatsu special - everything was delicious! The crazy fries were amazing (already half finished in the photo, so a hefty portion size) and the bulgolgi came with pickled radish (not pictured), salad, rice, and pickled cucumbers. Both dishes came with miso soup. Loved the food, and the chef and waitress were both very sweet! Highly recommend!“

“GREAT and great service too!!“

“this is the best sushi place in the world. the lady up front is super nice. the spider roll ran shivers across my body like the first time i was touched intimately by my first love. the food is incredible and really cheap. its like 9 bucks for the best roll of your life.

your time on this earth is finite and its likely that you will not have the opportunities to achieve everything you hope for. tomorrow is not guaranteed— if you can only ensure one experience between now and then, make sure you go to yoko sushi. my life is forever changed.“

“The food and service was very good. The atmosphere left a little to be desired as it wasn't very warm and inviting or cozy setting. I think booths along the walls and some partitions and maybe some tropical plants would go a long way to making a more enjoyable dinning experience. But again, the food was good as was the service. I would go back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“
