    I love this sushi spot because of its unique flavors! Every roll tastes different from one another which is hard to find at a sushi spot. And everyone there was so friendly. My favorite roll I've ever had here is the lemon drop (not pictured)

    Chirashi Bowl
    Connie B.

    I have been meaning to try this place for a while now and finally got around to it on Sunday afternoon. The restaurant is not too big but easily located off the freeway and plenty of parking within the plaza. The service was amazing where they were attentive, but not overbearing and the quality of the fish is great for its price! I highly recommend the chirashi bowl and the only critique I would have is to serve it in a bigger bowl because it was a little difficult to eat. However, the chef's choice selection was awesome and I really do enjoy it when they actually name each fish. They also do happy hour all day on Sunday so I tried two of the Rolls and it was solid. I would definitely be coming back as a regular.

    After a 4.5 hour hike, we decided to find a refreshing sushi restaurant. We decided to stop in. We were greeted and waiter was very professional, and polite. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and restroom was clean as well. Ordered the cucumber salad, and tempura for starters. The presentation and flavor for both, absolutely delicious, fresh! We couldn't get enough. Then we placed an order for a few roles. Every single roll, was gone within minutes. My fiancé enjoyed them all. His favorite out of the three, was the knockout, although he said all three were all very good. I ordered the shrimp lover roll.. so tasty. Highly recommend, will come back again.

    Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Came here on Friday night and was able to get a table fairly quickly. I didn't see an option for reservations online as well. Food came out very quickly and very pretty presentations. Want to try the raw oysters, but they didn't have it that day. Service was very friendly as well. Great quality sashimi and everyone enjoyed it. We'll be back to try more dishes.

    This has been a long time favorite, not much has changed since the name change. My go to is still the beautiful roll. The atmosphere is intimate and the service is outstanding. We have been sitting at the bar and still getting that exceptional service we have always gotten. The garlic edamame can't be beat. It's so good that we opt to dip everything in the sauce after all of the beans are gone.

    This place is absolutely amazing. Has been one of my go to stops here in rancho. Friendly staff, great vibe with the Japanese anime decor. The food is always amazing and the highest quality. We always get the chef special, be careful how spicy you ask for it because they do not play around here. Love this spot and will continue to make the drive here! My only knock, booths need to be updates. Other than that fantastic

    My new favorite sushi restaurant! When I tell you everything tasted so good even the wasabi was something I loved. We ordered Geso (so fresh and well seasoned), gyoza (I've never had one like it and it was really good), and cucumber salad (I could have drank the sauce the put on it). We got four rolls: Slap happy, Scallop Maniac, Let me take a selfie, and Show me your love. The Scallop Maniac was my favorite but each roll was so good. I don't know if this is a me thing but at other places all of the rolls end up tasting the same, here all of the rolls were so unique and distinct tasting. The best thing offered was the sashimi platter. I highly recommend getting the large because we got the small and it was not enough. The fish was fresh and melt in your mouth quality. I would 100% be going back and trying other rolls. Our server was 10/10 but I also noticed the other servers engaging with their tables and I took a mental note of how great the service is. The restaurant itself was very clean and I'm going to be honest I was so focused on the food I didn't look around too see if there was any unique decor.

    The food here is so good! I apologize if the names on the photos are wrong since I don't remember what they all were. But anyway the sushi and rolls are yummy! It tastes good and feels nice and tender. Feels and taste fresh! The service here is good and I've gotten stuff to go before as well. Really enjoyed it!

    Walking in you are greeted with a Japanese greeting. The server was prompt in informing you to sit where you like. We must have came in on a bad night because they are out of a lot of items. No uni, no hamachi, and no kanpachi. When asking if this is a regular occurrence the server said it isn't. Onto what we ordered. Nigiri: Otoro, tobiko with uzura, and bluefin tuna. Rolls: Lion King, Slap Happy, and Smoky Aiko. Everything was so fresh and the rolls were so tasty. I really like my rolls sliced thin, and these rolls had nice thin pieces and the proportions of rice the ingredients were just right. The nigiri did not have too much rice. I am very interested in tasting the items they ran out of. Dining atmosphere is casual with laid back jazzy style music quietly playing. Tables are granite topped and Japan Night Time Cityscape posters above the booth seats. TV above the sushi bar has sports playing. The sushi chef is at the bar chatting with patrons while he is busy procuring orders. He informs them of what is what. Very good! I am inclined to return!

    Ronin roll... sans a few pieces already eaten.

    Wow! Get here for Sunday happy hour asap! The Ronin roll... crisp... a must! I've never had anything like it. Shishito peppers... best I've ever had. Located in a strip mall but the food rocks.

    Ask the Community - Aiko

    Is there a happy hour menu at Sky Sushi? If there is, where is it posted, and what are the happy hour days/time?

    Are they going to be open jan 2 and is it dine in now?

    As far as I know they are only closed today and mondays. And yes dine in is open

    Are they open during the shelter in place? If so what are the hours? I've tried calling a couple times to place an order.

    The have different hours during this time. We ordered our food around 5pm on Friday evening. They do curb side service.

    Are the sushi rolls half price?

    All of their specialty rolls are. They do have one small section (maybe 7-10 rolls or so) of full priced rolls. Quality increases with price, but all their rolls are great!

    Gamsahamnida! Back…read moreagain, and the food and service continue to be great! The chicken katsu is still one of the best I've had--light, crispy, and perfectly crunchy on the outside, with juicy, tender chicken inside. Every visit has been consistently delicious, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I also tried the spicy pork again. It's a bit different from the Korean spicy pork I'm used to. Instead of the pork being marinated so the flavor is deeply infused, it seems to be grilled first and then coated with the sauce. While it's not the traditional style I expected, it's still flavorful and worth trying if you're open to a different take on the dish. In addition the chicken gangjeong dish that requires it to be "deep fried chicken" needs additional time to get crunchy like you would expect. I think the sauce may have made the crunch disappear. The consistency in both the food and the service is what keeps bringing me back. I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu. Other: -plenty of parking -bathroom inside -on hot days it's a little warm in the restuaruant *local family business*

The rice-to-filling ratio was perfect, and it tasted freshly rolled. If you're looking for Korean drinks, they've got those too, although the open table layout doesn't quite create the cozy pocha atmosphere. Overall, it's a great spot when you're craving a quick Korean fix. I'll definitely be back, mostly for the gimbap.

    I will preface my review by saying I hate to leave bad reviews. Restaurant business ownership can…read morebe hard enough but when a review is truly necessary, good or bad, it should be left and this is one of those situations. I will start with the good and reason for 2 stars and not 1. The food was good. The salmon was well cooked (not dry/overcooked as many Japanese restaurants can be guilty of) and the rolls were all prepared very well by the chefs. Now for the negative. A lot of Rancho restaurants are not packed at night so it's not a reflection of this place that it was empty upon entry. I'm just referencing that to emphasize there wasnt an excuse for what I'm about to explain. Our small group of 4 adults and 2 kids were seated and greeted upon entry. Drink orders were taken and we were told chopsticks and forks would be brought (they never were). We placed our order before the party of about 10 came in and placed theres and that's when the wheels fell off. The rolls came out promptly, however, the three bento boxes and soup didn't. We waited and waited and waited. 30+ minutes go by and nothing. Finally one of the bento boxes comes after probably 45 out but the server started to give it to the other party. We had to quickly flag the server down to tell him it was ours. More time starts to pass and our remaining 2 bento boxes still haven't come. We see our bento boxes get placed down on the counter where they sat. The server took them to the kitchen and didn't reappear with them until moments later when he promptly gave them to the other party. Before we could flag him down AGAIN, the two members of the other party started digging in (despite one of them telling us outside that his friend knew it wasn't his but didn't want to wait any longer). So now it's been over 45 minutes and while our whole party is basically finished with their food, two of us still have nothing. Here's where it gets worse... We flag down our server, who hadn't checked on us thinking he might recognize, "hey, you don't have your food. That doesn't seem right." Nope. When we ask if our food is coming, he said the kitchen screwed him up and he could only bring out food as fast as they make it. We then tell him we are pretty sure he gave our food to the other table, he looked flustered and said he would check. The stand in sushi chef (very nice guy) came by to apologize and try to alleviate the blame from the server to him. Very kind of him but not true. The server then twice brought us the other party's food, but we did the right thing and said, no, that's not ours. Eventually 1 bento box came out but not the 2nd. When I asked if it was coming, they all looked shocked as in "uh oh, it happened again." I told them to cancel the order because we didn't have another hour to wait for food. The server then brought out the miso soup ordered at the beginning of the night. But wait, there's more. The bill finally comes and what do we see, an automatic 18% gratuity has been applied. I get it, the menu says parties of 6 or more. But in a fubar case like this, I think it's fair to leave that up to the party. The fill in chef adjusted the bill to remove the automatic gratuity to leave it up to us after I asked for such. He again apologized profusely despite it not being his fault. After the server brought our checks back and said sorry, he asked if there was anything else that was missed that we needed. I couldn't tell if that was rhetorical or if he was asking something he wanted to ask two hours prior. Either way, we said no, paid, and got up to leave. Now for the cherry on top. There are two doors. One in the middle of the restaurant with a sign on the OUTSIDE saying to use the other door but nothing on the inside saying it's an emergency exit or broken, etc and a door by the host stand. We watched two people exit out of the door in the middle of the restaurant and since it was closest, we exited out that door. As one of the children in our party was exiting, the metal blinds crashed down on her, cutting her collar bone skin. As we checked on her, the chef said not to worry about the blinds but no one checked on the child. He then promptly closed the door. W....t....f. As we stood outside wondering what just happened, we were approached by a gentleman from the other dining party. He then said, "Was that not the most horrendous experience you've ever had?" We then commiserated for a few minutes, him telling us about the wrong orders at their table and listening to our experience while we told him they ate our bento boxes and we had to cancel one of our orders. Truly a night to forget but a truly good bad story. It's experiences like this that make you wonder if you're on Punk'd. Long story short, food is good, service is horrible. Find somewhere else to go.

Before tip, it's about $40/pp. You best believe we ordered a lot! Our server was kind, attentive, and efficient. She came over right away and took our drink and appetizer orders. I ordered about half of the listed appetizers. Favorites were the shrimp and veggie tempura and the shrimp fried rice. Miso soup served a good hot temperature with seaweed and tofu and not too salty. Good start with edamame and seaweed salad. We ordered most of the teriyaki proteins. Great char on the chicken and the beef was so tender. We asked for mixed sashimi plate. The presentation was disappointing (very plain) and so was the taste. Didn't look or taste the freshest. The hamachi and salmon yama were both nicely fried with crispy skin. Maybe a bit overdone, but was still good. The sea steak salad was very fresh, thinly cut, and had a kick. Another favorite! We also had their dim sum, the shrimp har gow being the best. Soft shell crab tasted like burnt oil. The fried banana for dessert would've been better but was over fried. I suggest ordering fried items early. Ice cream was Melona bars on a stick and our server said they also had mochi ice cream, not on the menu. Oh, and they were out of oysters.

However, my recent visit was ruined by an incredibly disappointing server experience. My husband, child, and I dined there today. While it was a bit busy, it wasn't overwhelmingly so. Unlike the fantastic service I've received from other servers in the past, this server was truly awful. She seemed to actively avoid our table, and when she did interact with us, it was dismissive and rude. She brought our waters & my three-year-old daughter a glass cup instead of a plastic one, and when I requested a plastic cup, she slammed it on the table without a word. She completely ignored our "thank yous," even when my daughter politely thanked her. However, she was sweet and attentive to other tables in her section. We had to ask another server for water refills and kids' chopsticks because our server was nowhere to be found and never checked on us or our meal to ask if it was good or if we even need anything. NOTHING. I'm usually a generous tipper, often leaving over $20, but this server did not earn a cent from me. Lastly, she sent me to pay next to the bar while other people had their checks at the table. So much more happened but these were the main points that irritable me the Most. While I'll definitely be back for the incredible food, if I encounter this particular server again, I will absolutely be requesting a different one. Her attitude was unforgettable, and it completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable family meal on a Saturday night.

The type of tuna was ordinary and to me, not that enjoyable. I liked the salmon and yellowtail much more. The albacore was okay. The large 15 pc sashimi bowl came with miso soup and salad, which were good. It would be better with a small bowl of rice. I also tried the deluxe bento with Korean BBQ ribs. I enjoyed the ribs and felt their cooked food might be better than raw. The staff were really nice and polite. They brought out items we requested, and never rushed us. Great customer service. The restaurant is large with plenty of seating for big and small groups. They had some weekly specials and a happy hour menu (4-6pm), but nothing on the happy hour menu appealed to me. There's also a sushi bar counter where you can sit and watch sports on the tv. Nice casual atmosphere. Soho Sushi is a Good Japanese restaurant in Rancho Cordova.

    I visited SoHo Sushi with friends from work for lunch. We enjoyed the food, the staff, and the…read moreatmosphere of the restaurant. I ordered a Crab sushi roll which came with a verity of sauces and it was delicious. The size was perfect as I was hungry! Our server checked on us several times and was very helpful in my selections. I will definitely come back with my colleagues for lunch!
