50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rocklin

“They have a variety of dishes from sushi to noodles. I had Jajamyeong noodles. Good portion. They were ok. Will come back to try the other dishes. Side dish of Kimchi was delicious. Atmosphere and customer service Top Notch. Chef came out and asked all parties, how was our dish.“

“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!“

“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“

“I usually order for pickup, but on a bad day I decided to dine in on my own so I could think. The food was fantastic as usual, but I’m highlighting the service. It was very fast, and not to mention they treated me wonderfully. Parker is the man!“

“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“

“First of all, the servers were amazing and attentive! Our total cost of 2 people doing the AYCE was around $90, which is fair. I believe it was $37 per person. The food quality was excellent and it wasn’t too busy. We went at 12:30pm on a Saturday.“

“Hokkaido Sushi is my go-to lunch spot, and for good reason. I’m here at least once a week, but often times more. I order the bento box every single time (usually switching up the main), and it’s always excellent; as a creature of habit, I have no issues with ordering the same thing every week, especially when the food is so tasty! The ingredients are consistently fresh and flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell everything is very thought out and intentional, from the presentation to the balance of flavors. On top of that, the service is wonderful—friendly, attentive, and welcoming every visit. I genuinely love this place and always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!“

“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 experience at Kiku! We ordered every sushi roll they had and every roll was special and unique in taste! Super delicious and fantastic presentation. Even though the order was big, our order took just 10-15 minutes until they served us all the sushi and at the same time (11 rolls), super impressive! A huge thank you to the chef and the entire staff for such a wonderful dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back! I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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. 🤩“

“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.“

“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“

“Honestly I don't know how it gets better than TT fire l for what it is. Nice guy at the counter, food came quickly, it was delicious... What else is there? Clean restaurant..I'll be back. Reasonable prices. Had the honey spicy chicken and my wife had the sesame chicken. Both were great with ample portions. Can't miss.“

“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 🤤🤤“

“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!!!“

“Had a great experience at lunch today. Came in and did the hibachi experience and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The kids enjoyed the chicken hibachi with rice and vegetables and the adults all got the filet mignon hibachi meal and everything was great. Generous portions quality food and great customer service. Definitely recommend.“

“friendly staff; great atmosphere“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place was very fun to eat with friends, Capriel wasn't our waitress, but a friend we made along our sushi grub fest, she brought an energy that other servers don't have, she actually engages instead of follow a script, my buddies and I enjoyed her company when she was engaging with our table, we will come again to break our fast“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped by for lunch, pleasantly surprised. Tried three different rolls (Volcano Roll, Spicy Albacore and Garlic Albacore) and loved all of them. Portions were very generous and prices really fare. Will definitely be back again. Highly recommend“

“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.“

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

“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.“
