This place has great food, and great drink options. Their ramen is very good and their bento is even better but their recent remodel of the interior of the establishment is rather lack luster. To start the modern aesthetic does not fit the original vibe of the restraunt and the booths are rather unbearable. The tabletops are rather low and the seats are extremely hard and uncomfortable. This combination seats and tabletop causes me as a taller fellow to have to bend over quite a bit and after about 15-20 minutes my backs and glutes start to hurt.

Fast service! Good food! Amazing service! We had the pleasure of having Daniel serve us he was amazing and took care of us the moment we walked through the door until the moment we left. I had the bento box and the sesame chicken was nice flaky crispy and flavorful. The pieces of sashimi I got were decently sized. I was happy with everything here I will be sure to be back!

The food was delicious, the bento lunch was cheap and satisfying enough. We managed to get lunch before 3 p.m., so the price was lower. The service was pleasant, the atmosphere was comfortable enough.

First time in this restaurant. We were there early in the evening and we were the only ones. Great service, delicious food and quiet place to have a good time. Definitely coming back.

Kid-friendliness: There is a bento box available for kids. My kids loved it!

Where Rolls Are Bigger Than Your Dreams.

If you've ever wondered what it’s like to eat a sushi roll the size of a small automobile, look no further than Izakaya in Sacramento. I ordered the Titanic Roll, and let me tell you—this thing didn’t just hit the iceberg, it was the iceberg. I needed a blueprint and a team of engineers just to figure out how to take the first bite.

While the sheer size of the roll was impressive (and slightly alarming), the flavor was a bit of a sugar rush. There was so much sauce that I briefly considered bottling it and selling it as a dessert topping. That said, the fish was fresh, the rice was well-prepared, and my taste buds eventually recovered from their brief caramelized confusion.

The service? Friendly and efficient—no complaints there. The staff didn’t even flinch when I asked if the Titanic Roll came with a lifeboat.

Would I come back? Absolutely. But next time, I’m bringing a construction crew, a forklift, and maybe a less sugary sushi choice.

Really pleasantly surprised. This place is super cute inside. Service was good and the food, while a little pricey, was absolutely delicious. Rolls took awhile to come out but I think that’s an indicator for how well made they are. Interesting menu variety and really full rolls with good sized pieces of fish on top. So many of these places now are all you can eat and the rolls are skimpy with tiny pieces of fish, but not here? We will definitely be back, this is my new favorite sushi spot!

in my opinion, I would say my favorite is the dragon roll and their bento boxes are amazing. I love their marble drinks and cream melon soda, its sweet and refreshing.

Their recent remodeling boasts a unique and stunning aesthetic, vastly differing from its prior appearance. While the ambiance has changed, the food retains its original flavor profile. Furthermore, the newly introduced menu items are remarkably tasty. The service provided was attentive, polite, and highly satisfactory.
