50 Best Japanese Restaurants near West Sacramento

“Tastes amazing. I had a bad experience with teriyaki madness claiming they were “short staffed “ with 0 customers. After they refused me I went here. Let me tell you it is amazing. It is only one person working here and with so many orders. Food is divine highly recommended“

“Just made a stop here as usual and had 1 medium bowl and 2 large bowls, the owner greeted us as we walked in while helping a customer, he was very professional and treated us very well. I won’t go to any other Poki bowl place and I come all the way from Elk Grove just for the best service and best poki bowl. I recommend the place all the time, I’ve been coming here for 4 years now and have always been pleased.“

“Usually a pretty long wait but always great service and great food.“

“Ran in for a quick takeaway order. I'm impressed bc the food is tasty, the staff is polite, the dining room is cute, and the business is environmentally friendly.

Food: $8 for 2 pc sake (salmon) nigiri. Fish portion is huge and fresh. Sushi rice is prepared and seasoned well. $13 for chicken karaage. Super crunchy, marinated thigh pieces served with lemon and spicy mayo. Also a good portion.

Packaging: My to-go order was packaged in all recyclable or biodegradable materials! This is something I dont always see here in Sacramento. Staff also asked what supplies I might need (chopsticks, wasabi, soy sauce) to cut down on waste. Really appreciate these conscientious business practices.

Ambience: There is bar seating by the sushi chef. More bar further away. Tables are spacious and comfy looking. TVs showing sports games when I went in. I'll definitely be back for dining in to have a beer and dinner! See you soon.“

Excited to have a new go-to sushi spot so close to home.“

“Amazing place. Food was incredible. Take the jump and get a sushi taco! We tried the chicken, salmon, and tuna sushi tacos. The shoyu ramen was really satisfying— great flavor and serving size. If you’re just having sushi tacos, you’ll probably need 1.5.

Milk tea is great. We had the Okinawa!

Really cozy vibe and great decor.

Parking: There’s plenty of parking. It has its own parking lot.“

“Can’t Believe I Just Found This Place!

I seriously can’t believe I’m only trying this spot now—I literally live right around the corner! This Japanese restaurant is an absolute gem. The sushi is fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Every bite felt like a treat. The rest of the menu is just as good—high-quality ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors all around.

The service was amazing—super friendly and attentive without being over the top. The atmosphere is cozy but modern, with a calm, welcoming vibe that made the whole dining experience even better.

And the parking? Tons of it. No stress

I already can’t wait to come back—and next time, I’m definitely trying their Omakase. If you’re in the area (or even if you’re not), do yourself a favor and check this place out. Total hidden gem!“

“This is a small Asian market but it has all the basics like rice, noodles, sauces, and snacks. There’s a fresh seafood section that’s clean and well-stocked. They even have a small section of prepared food like sushi and rice rolls. Parking is usually easy and the staff is pretty friendly. A great local spot if you’re looking for Asian groceries.“

“Love this place. Great staff, great food. 100% recommended.“

“Hidden gem of a traditional Japanese restaurant!! Lovely people and wonderful eating experience! Highly recommend going for lunch and dinner specials!“

“variety looks so fresh and delicious! bringing a friend for our first visit to Vacaville location on Sunday..can't wait!“

“Life changing meal. Every piece was better than the last. I cannot believe I even dared to question the quality of the food when I walked in. There was a broken soda machine in the men’s room. Instant indicator of the best teriyaki chicken combo known to man.“

“Been coming here for years. The owners are super nice. There are several business clustered together and sometimes parking can be a challenge. The teriyaki chicken is plentiful and cooked just right. I love their teriyaki sauce. Every place makes their sesame chicken different, theirs is thin and crunchy, seems like a pounded out fillet of breast. Plenty of tables if you wish to stay and eat, I usually call ahead for a to go order.“

“Honestly this place has the absolutely best food and atmosphere. I loved the outdoor misters. Highly recommend. Most important the staff was outstanding.“

“Every pieces on the sushi roll is fresh and the sauce is amazing!! We ordered the sashimi platter, which has a lot of selection on fish and also the premium cut on fish will not disappoint!! All the fried tempura 🍤 is the best !!“

“Excellent food & service.Great.“

“Good go to place for lunch. People are nice and food is usually served up pretty quickly. Good selection of various Teriyaki dishes. You'll get a good lunch here at a decent price. It's a stop and go kind of place. But if you're hungry it fits the bill.“

“I've been watching food vlogs from all Asian countries, particularly Japan, which offers different flavors of ramen, and that gave me the idea to come here, and my cravings were extremely satisfied. I ordered AKA Ramen, and it was so delicious?. my server was very nice and attentive too. I'll surely recommend this place to my friends❤️“

“Excellent meal. Every dish was very good. Classic yet complex. High quality.

We had scallop phyllo, oysters, sashimi, a couple of rolls, and the miso brule.

Service was excellent.

Parking: Street parking can be hard. There's a garage nearby that has plenty of space.“

“Simply a marvelous surprise. Could well have been the tastiest restaurant meal I’ve ever eaten… it was that good.“

“Love the happy hour menu!! Great prices and great food!! Right around the corner from my work. My new little spot. I recommend everyone to try out this hidden 💎“

“First timer here and tried their Wednesday lunch special, half sesame chicken / half teriyaki chicken with rice, side salad, and cooked veggies. You could taste the sesame oil in the veggies, it was good. The salad dressing was just ranch I think, was hoping for asian salad dressing. The Teriyaki sauce was good, not too salty, a little sweet.

Most likely to be one of my regular lunch places :)“

“We were visiting Sacramento for 1 day and saw the reviews for Sushi Cafe - so we tried it out - and we weren't disappointed. The sushi was very good, the staff was friendly, and the prices were quite reasonable. The only thing that disappointed was the Oyako Don - which was overcooked. All in all - this was a great find.“

“Wish I could leave more than five stars! The server was so kind and attentive. The kiddos ordered the mochi ice cream for dessert and they were so cute! The extra attention in plating and serving them with the heart skewer to eat them with was an unexpected surprise. She also gave us to-go boxes without us having to ask. She anticipated our needs from clearing the table, to the boxes a bag and the check with stickers for the kids. The food was tasty and arrived to our table promptly. Definitely a hidden gem! Wish we lived in the area to support and visit more :)“

“Amazing & creative sushi rolls at 50% off all of the time. The waitresses are charming and attentive! Recently remodeled!“

Staff is friendly and service is pretty quick.The katsu sandwich here is phenomenal. Really love the balance of textures and flavors.“
