10 Best Sushi Bars in Vacaville

“Picked this place as a halfway meeting spot for lunch with a friend. It's in a shopping center right off the freeway and a hidden gem.

The restaurant space is open and clean, and the staff friendly. We were greeted and seated right away.

We shared orders of edemame (served warm) and chicken karaage (nicely crisp and tender with a slightly spicy sauce).

We both elected the Make Your Own Bento Box - Mine was sushi focused with a dragon roll, spicy tuna roll and Alaska roll - all very fresh and tasty. My friend went sushi free with chicken teriyaki, tonkatsu and mixed tempura - it Al looked delicious and she throughly enjoyed it.

Definitely recommend trying the restaurant, it's away from the hustle of the Outlets area which is a plus in my book.“

“Been going here for 10+ years and the owner recognizes us every single time. I love that! I may try other sushi restaurants to compare to umi but I always come back to umi. The quantity and quality and price is top tier in my opinion. I’ve never been sick or disappointed from this place so I’ll always recommend until the day I croak“

“Not bad for all you can eat sushi in the area, gets pretty busy on the weekends. There are a lot of options from different types of sashimi and rolls, but there can be a wait depending on how busy they are. They are accommodating to large groups, and their flexible pricing for children is nice. Overall recommend and this is a place we enjoy coming back to for sushi in Vacaville.“

“The food is always wonderful and delicious. My son is a particular eater to some things and they are so gracious to make a roll exactly the way he likes. Service is excellent and love the new redecorating they have done. It’s the only place we like to go. Everything is great!!“

“Hidden Gem!!
What an ABSOLUTE Suprise, every bite was divine. The best sushi in vacaville hands down.
Ordered garlic edamame, Gyoza to start. Followed by the Deep Fried California Roll, The Dynamite, volcano, lion king, 49er, & the scallion Roll. All the rolls but one (49er with lemon slices) was fried or baked. All cooked to perfection, no soy sauce needed. Each was like an explosion of amazing taste in your mouth.
Staff was no where near rude like other reviewers. It was quiet, well cleaned and they cook with passion. We were checked on adequately & drinks never went empty.
Very affordable and perfect for family night or date night even.

Thank you for such a divine taste experience!!!“

“Buddy, let me tell you! By far one of the best places I have been to in years. Let me start by saying our server Tara (I think that's how you spell it), was the best server I have encountered in decades. Decades my friend! Sushi was absolutely amazing! The skewer thing was a big hit and everyone loved the pot stickers. The fact that Hisui hit 5-stars in the food, service, and atmosphere criteria should tell you it's great. To the management, give Tara a raise! Employees like her are part of the winning combination of why people will return. I loved it all!
*Note: sadly, I left my phone in the car for this family meal so I didn't get pictures. It was all beautifully presented though and looked delish!“

“We came in on a Friday around 1:30pm for lunch as my wife wanted Ramen and she has not been to Cherry Blossom before. My son and I came when they first opened a few years back. I never really came back because the food was just mediocre to me. We came here for ramen so my wife can try it and they are closer to my house.

Food (3.5/5 stars):
- Ramen: both the Tonkatsu and the Black Garlic Ramen both had tasty broth,but I had better elsewhere. They did have a decent variety of toppings compared to the other ramen place in town. The medium boiled egg was just that. The other place in town gives a soy sauce roasted egg which is much tastier. Overall, their ramen is good and recommended.
- Bento Box: both bento boxes we got was just fair. The portions are decent for the chicken katsu with tempura, but the teriyaki chicken with the CA roll was a little chintzy (only 4 small pieces of CA roll. Other places give 6 pieces). The CA roll was nothing to write home about, just bland. The dipping sauce for the chicken katsu was just ok, could be more flavorful. The miso soup that came with the bento boxes could be more flavorful, but decent and had some tofu and seaweed. The salad dressing was a sesame based dressing and was pretty good, but could benefit from a little bit more.
- Ika Geso (deep fried squid tentacles): flavorful batter, crispy and not too thick. The dipping sauce was just a basic sriracha mayo, so nothing impressive. I chose to just eat it without dipping in the sauce.

Service/Ambiance (4.5/5 stars): the wait staff were very attentive and the food came out quickly. A little after 2pm, they came by all the tables to announce the last call for the kitchen as they close at 2:30pm and reopen at 4:30pm Monday-Saturday. It's not a big place, so it is best for parties of 2-4 people, but they can accommodate a slightly larger party at the back of the restaurant.

Overall, great service, I would come back for the ramen, but there are better places for bento boxes (only chicken here, no beef or pork) in town. I did not try their sushi, (only the CA roll that came with my bento), so I cannot comment on that.“

“My husband and I visited the new location on Peabody Road in Vacaville tonight ! First off talk about clean ! Greeted by Jonny and his employee whom are extremely helpful and friendly. We order to eat in as well as to go for someone else to have cooked as we finish our meal . The meal was plenty to share and was fresh and cooked to perfection. Go check them out . Welcome to the neighborhood.“

“After making a reservation for an hour before closing, there was a huge accident that shut down the entire freeway for over 30 minutes. We communicated the issue and asked if we can still come and they waited for us (8 people for hibatchi). Most people would have been extremely irritated, but they didnt show it at all! My only complaint is that the backdoor is close to the eating area, so cigarette smoke kept flowing through. We did have the entire place to ourselves which made it seem like we rented the place out for mom's birthday. She loved that! Food was absolutely amazing, Lobster tails and filet minon cooked to perfection. The tempura plate came out hot and amazing. Recommend this place for all, but sit near the front door instead of the back.“

“Service definitely needs improvement. We were seen once! Pathetic.
Food needs improvement in choice and flavor. The coconut shrimp is overly battered with little sauce. The white fish was excellent. Get rid of one of the salad centers (you serve way too much jello) and serve more protein varieties.
Lastly, watch out for the ice cream machine...my wife ended up with ice milk. Nothing close to an edible cone. Ended with a bowl of semi-soft flavored milk.
Place needs improvement.“
