After getting off my flight the first place we went to is here. My friend suggested this place cause it's a really good place. He even told me that a friend of his purposely drive an hour and a half to eat here. Well I got to admit, he's not wrong. Note: They do stop doing take out if it gets super busy and not enough staff. No take out even if you get there to order. They won't even pick up the phone. This is a cute restaurant with a decent amount of seating. The staff is very friendly. Now back to the sushi. The sushi here is super yummy. Not only yummy, but the names of the rolls are funny enough to spark an curiosity to order. The who's your daddy, turn me on and G string is very good. The firecracker apps are yummy too. I wish it was a bit more spicy though. It's a super yummy place. Totally worth it. read more

Just visiting Sacramento area and this was close to the hotel. It has high ratings but I personally think it's not over 4 stars. While our server was great and attentive the food needs to be elevated. It's very basic on my opinion. Value wise it is comparatively cheap but I rather pay extra for good sushi rolls. read more

This place is SOOOO good. The sushi is so fresh and delicious. I love how they have a variety of rolls to choose from and all of them are unique in their own way. The service is also great! And the sushi chefs greet everyone when they walk in. It's so cute in here! I've tried a few rolls so far and I love the Scallop Manic and Let's take a selfie roll. Definitely a must try!! read more

We love happy hour here! Fave roll is Ronin toll! Love to sit at the bar so see where the rolls are made. Fast service, great waiter, and fun lively entertainment inside. read more

We love this place. It has the best sushi rolls in the area, no competition. The scallop maniac is our favorite but a variety of fun rolls that you will love. The ambiance is personal and friendly.

Aiko - Lemon Crispy Superman Knockout Arigato Spicy Aburi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

My sister and I took our mom to the Berry Fest in Woodland on Saturday, then did some shopping in Rancho Cordova. It was in the 90s, and we were overheated and exhausted--just really needing a good dinner. I'm so glad we chose Aiko's! The moment we walked in, it was cool and refreshing inside. The atmosphere immediately helped us relax. Our server was absolutely fantastic--so friendly, attentive, and helpful with the menu. He made us feel comfortable asking questions, and even though the place was busy with multiple birthday celebrations, he stayed on top of everything. He kept drinks refilled, cleared plates quickly, and never missed a beat. We started with the vegetable tempura and the heart attack with is basically jalapeño poppers but with shrimp and spicy tuna. Both came out super hot and fresh--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. That tempura was one of the best I've had, with a great variety of veggies. Now, the sushi: I got the Smokey Aiko and absolutely loved the rich smoky aftertaste. My sister had the Lemon Crispy, which had this vibrant citrus flavor she really enjoyed. My mom ordered the Playmate, and honestly, I think that one was my favorite of the three. We all shared, and each roll had its own unique, mouthwatering flavor. This place was such a true gem. Excellent food, amazing service, and overall an exceptional experience. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious food, garlic edamame was exquisite!!!! We made it spicy and it was even better!

Came here and got seated right away. However, I waited for a menu. Waited 8 mins while servers passed my table attending to others. I left. Won't be coming back. read more

Wow! Lived in Rancho for 47 yrs and have seen so many different stores in this location. But this is AWESOME! I wish more people knew about this strip mall. Used to be bustling with great stores. Not sure why no one goes there now. But this place is great and the servers are kind and the food it great and happy hour is amazing!! read more

Ordered 4 rolls,knocked up, super man, smoked Aiko, kamikaze, and the spicy edamame all were very fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this spot. Server Lia was very nice and was quick to help us with any questions we had. The inside is very clean and cozy. read more

Good sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi. Prices are around $15-30 depending on what you order. Plenty of parking. I would definitely come back if in the area. read more

Sky sushi is hidden in a big parking lot close to Gangnam ave kbbq. Came with some friends since we were in the area. They had a sushi boat for 3-4 people for $78! What a steal!! I was surprised to see how much food came to the table. It includes gyoza, grilled teriyaki chicken, tempura, salad, and 4 rolls!! It wasn't too busy and waitress was friendly! Definitely best bang for your buck. Not the best sushi rolls but decent! Would come back in a group to get another sushi "boat" lol. read more

This place is amazing! They've recently changed the name from Sky Sushi to Aiko, but everything is still the same. The food, service, and ambience were outstanding and always consistent. A must-visit! They have sushi for sushi lovers and kitchen food for those who don't eat seafood. The fish here are always fresh. I ordered the nigiri combo. The combo came with a great variety of fish and flavors. My favorite was the seared salmon belly nigiri. The rolls were all amazing and had their own unique flavors. I'm so happy they don't use the same three sauce as other resto. Honestly, nothing compares to this place. Will always be back! read more

We came here for dinner and ordered the lemon drop roll, superman roll, and philly roll. The lemon drop roll was kind of disappointing because the lemon slices they put in the roll is the zest part and barely any of the lemon. Most of the lemon piece is rind/zest/skin, and a tiny tiny part is the actual juicy part of the fruit, so instead of tasting citrusy with a zesty after taste the roll just tastes straight up bitter and very unpleasant. I've had plenty of rolls at other sushi restaurants with lemon in them (in fact even bigger slices of lemon than here) that have never tasted this bitter. The service was really slow, and the waiter didn't take our plates or anything after we finished. Overall, the food was okay, but the time we spent waiting for food, waiting for the check, waiting for service was not worth it. read more

The best sushi I have had all in all of Sacramento. Tried probably 30 places over the years and most places went downhill. Aiko is solid and consistent. You won't find better service anywhere and the prices are very fair for the quality. The fish is always super fresh. They do happy hour all day on Tuesdays and Sundays which is nice. Great drink options and rolls on the happy hour menu. Friendly staff, awesome food and good vibes. I usually don't do reviews, but I feel this place deserves some praise. read more

Excellent new find for our family! We've been twice now and ordered a variety of about 7 different rolls now and they've all been delicious! So good it's impossible to pick a favorite roll.. the service and ambience are also great. I especially like the music, different vibe than most sushi spots which I appreciate. We'll be back often and tell our friends in the meantime! read more

Great food, nice atmosphere and great service. We had bento boxes with chicken katsu and salmon sashimi, tempura and a roll. All great. I wish we lived closer. read more

My wife and I ordered the who's your daddy roll, slap happy roll, and the chicken karaage appetizer with kick sauce, all three were very good. We'll be back again when we are in the area. Service was good, we had a party of 10 for late lunch so it took time to get all the food out, but that's understandable. Ambiance was relaxed. read more

Our favorite Sushi restaurant! Delicious Japanese food with a modern twist. I love the kick sauce and the Lion King roll. Amazing flavors and kind servers! We will be returning again and again. read more

I ordered the Beef Teriyaki Combo, and it was so good. It's very fresh. I wasn't able to take a photo of the Shrimp Lover's roll I also ordered, I ate it too quickly LOL. Server was kind, and food came out so quick! The space was very serene and felt high class. The bathrooms were also super clean. One thing my group and I were very happy with was the width of the rolls when they were cut, it was perfect. 10/10 would definitely come back. read more

Our favorite Sushi restaurant excellent service great food we eat here at least twice a month!

When enter the restaurant, no one is serving you, the waiter said sit anywhere you want to sit as long as the table is clear. Ordered one sashimi and two rolls and made us waited order 70mins for the second roll to come. The sashimi portion is small and does not worth the cost. Don't waste your time here unless you want to spend 2-3hours. read more

Nice sushi spot located off of sunrise. My friend and me decided to come here on a Sunday afternoon right when they opened, so there was obviously no wait lol! Our Waiter was super friendly and nice. He always made sure to check in with us to make sure everything was great or if we needed anything. Now onto the food. I love sushi (all kinds)! I'd say their ginger wasn't to good & they only offered us a small portion for 2 people. ( we had to share 1 tiny plate of ginger/wasabi, any other sushi spot i go to offers each person at the table their own separate tray of ginger/ wasabi or at least enough ginger for everyone. Id give their sushi a 5/10. It wasn't to bad but it wasn't the best. Their fish did taste fresh which was a plus but i don't know i honestly just wasn't feeling it .. I wasn't wowed. I feel like they could've added more sauce to the rolls & not so much flakes on some of the rolls. read more

Once again, another home run. What was formerly known as Sky Sushi, is now being run by the same Chef. My wife and I don't eat out often. Most restaurants are disappointing and disgust me with the lack of skills and overall poor performance. Marginal food, overpriced, shit service, and you leave wondering why you spent $200 on this avoidable shit show. Not here. Aiko is super good. The fish portions are spot on and the Chef knows exactly what is what. Don't expect things to come fast because that's not how you do quality sushi. You're going to wait and maybe wait longer than you planned on. Stand bye. It is well worth the wait. This is our favorite restaurant and for good reason. read more

Got a bunch of rolls and nigiri as take-out from this sushi/Japanese location. Pickup was easy and fast - the team was courteous and had everything boxed up to go. Prices are reasonable and they offer bento boxes w/o raw fish in addition to all of the raw-uncooked standard Japanese nigiri/sashimi fare that you'd expect. Overall, the specialty rolls had a bit too much sauce for our liking, but the salmon and unagi nigiri and rolls were excellent. I think if the special rolls were a bit more delicate in their creation (less sauce, less frying, less cheese), they'd have a hit. Still very tasty and a great go-to local sushi place. read more

Whoo hoo! Another good as it gets review! Dear ________, former go -to Sushi spot. We regretfully inform you that yo ass has been replaced! Lol You were awesome, but not that awesome compared to Sky sushi! Went in a few weeks ago for dinner for 2 and we were extremely pleased. The chef was awesome, what amazing customer service he displayed. Knowing my 4 year old daughters bday was around the corner we made the decision right then and there we were going to feed our adult guests with this amazing sushi! So we did! My wife is a huge fan of Nigiri Sake, and oh my was it delicious! We ordered a bunch of rolls and of course of alot of salmon nigiri and everyone at our little shindig was quite pleased. Thank you so much for doing such a great job on our huge order. The timing and prep was fantastic, super not disappointed! We will be back for sure!! read more

Best sushi in the Sacramento area! We are big sushi eaters...the atmosphere is nice too!

Honestly amazing food, impressive portions, friendly and attentive staff. One of the best miso's I've had. Atmosphere is great, lots of effort put into it. Only complaint is the lighting is a bit dim. read more

I've driven past this place a few times and decided to try it out after shopping at KP Market. I saw a review of the naked salmon and as a salmon sashimi lover, it was a must get. This one did NOT disappoint. It was a thick cut piece of salmon wrapped around imitation crab and avocado and was delectable. I highly recommend this dish if you visit. We also ordered "Let me take a selfie" which was an trip of flavors! The lemon flavor hit first but then you get an array of raw fish, unagi sauce, shrimp tempura, and a small kick from the jalapeño. This one tasted really good dipped in wasabi soy sauce. Lastly, the small sashimi plate! I'm not sure what kind of fish it was, but the one that was seared with a dried garlic chip was the best one. I wanted to add that our server was completely absent the entire time. After she dropped off our food, she didn't come back once to ask if we needed more water (which we needed) or ask if we needed anything else. She was at the back the entire time. However, Dominique, another server for the table next to us, was attentive and brought me a big bowl of extra ginger which I wanted, and refilled our waters. She was very kind and I really appreciated her paying attention to us. She also brought a birthday dessert for the table she was serving. Talk about service! Overall, everything was absolutely amazing and delicious. I would definitely come back. read more

Absolutely loved Aiko Sushi! I had the Heart Attack appetizer, which was like a jalapeño popper with a delicious twist, and the Lemon Crispy Roll--both were incredible. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming.

My wife and I come out here for work every couple days during the week. Being in Rancho Cordova it's slim pickings when it comes to restaurants, and when the wife was craving Sushi I was afraid we wouldn't have any luck. I take it back. I was on yelp and between Sora and this spot we picked sky, the reviews and comments compared to Sora downfall is what brought us. We came in at 4:30 and it wasn't too busy, we got to pick our seats, the waiter was attentive, patient and helpful. Food: the Menu is loaded with Salmon, Shrimp, tuna, you name it they had a category for it, im more of an unagi fan and was a bit sad they only had one roll ( yin Yang) on the menu. The waiter let me know they could substitute anything for elk, and recommended the yin Yang, which was BOMB!!!! I could have ate two more of those!!!!! Great call, the second roll we got was shrimp lovers!!!! Service: the service was on point, the waiter was attentive, and when we couldn't decide or find what we wanted he was able to find an unagi roll for us, and recommend another roll, both were bomb. I also did the soda test, I placed my empty cup on the side table, and as he was passing by to help a table, he immediately turned toward me on his way back to the kitchen " I got your soda on my way back" boom!!! Mic drop, we were sold. Food was great, service was awesome!!!! I don't focus on price too much, especially when they hit the spot when it comes to satisfying a customer. We will be back again, and thank you for a great experience. read more

Came for another visit, had the uni shooter. You definitely get value with it. However I think the presentation could be improved. The well is too deep for a fair distribution of flavor and you're drinking quite a bit of the mixture in multiple mouthfuls of the liquid before being able to reach the uni pieces that would balance out the salty spicy umami of the shooter components. Maybe serving the uni in a flight of several smaller shooters. Partner said California rolls were off BUT he adores their hand rolls and thinks they're the best we've had. Beautiful roll was rich and interesting, but probably won't get it again?? For me, the saba sashimi is the best I've had after 4 sushi restaurants. My personal combo: add a squeeze of lemon and wrap in shiso leaf! read more

Came in tonight and this is the second time I've been here since the change. Sadly, I believe the quality has gone down. The service was great but the rolls did not taste like they used to. I'm also not a fan of sesame seeds and they were everywhere on all the rolls. I didn't see this on the ingredients list on the menu, so it was a little frustrating that they all had the seeds in them. They also do not garnish with the little salad anymore. read more
