    Creamy albacore
    Reener B.

    They couldn't have chosen a better name for the Dream Come True roll, because it truly is such a dream come true to taste this delicious roll. It has all the cuts of fish, which makes it so worth it. Feels like getting sashimi inside the roll!! Every bite felt like a dream and couldn't stop talking about it after getting home! Also, I enjoyed the other dish we got such as the creamy albacore for appetizers and the soba tempura noodles. The tempura was perfectly fried! Overall, Akebono remains at the top of the list for best sushi spots in the Sacramento area!

    Akebono is one of those spots I keep in rotation because the portions actually match the price. I've had their sushi rolls, ramen, and curry, and out of everything on the menu, I keep coming back for the sushi rolls and the curry. It's just good value for what you're paying. The restaurant is clean and has ample room, which makes it a great option when you're going with a group. We usually have no problem getting seated together, but I'd still recommend calling ahead during peak hours just to be safe. Parking usually isn't an issue either, at least at night. Overall, it's a dependable spot when you want a comforting meal, solid portions, and prices that still feel reasonable.

    Ive been coming here forever and i have had recent check in but this last time i wanted to update my review. I love all sushi rolls here but my go to is the dream come true roll. It's one of those rolls that's twice the size of a regular roll for $22.95. I feel like the sushi wasn't as fresh as it once was and the roll which I thought was gigantic shrank in size. While there we also ordered the steak lunch box and the steak was not hot and small portions. The service is so and so and feel like the place has changed, for me anyhow.

    Katsu chicken

    Celebrated a birthday here! It has been a long standing tradition for them but was new to me. I was excited to see what all the excitement was about. We had a triple roll (devoured before picture)! We also had the katsu chicken and shrimp and veggie tempura. The servings were generous and the everything was delicious! We had leftovers and were able to enjoy some tempura and chicken for lunch rhetorical next day. They have seating around the sushi bar, in the front and a buffer room in the back. The staff were attentive and the service was quick.

    A very popular sushi restaurant! Came here with my cousin for dinner to try and branch out from our usual spots. The sushi was tasty and they have tons of options. It was very busy the day we went but they have a lot of seating to accommodate. The staff were nice and the restaurant definitely has a high busy kind of energy to it from the decor to how many people were there. Have only been here the one time, so I want to come back to try some other options. The roll I got (sorry can't remember the name) had fresh sliced lemon on top which I love. We did get one roll that had cream cheese in it and it honestly was too much cream cheese that we poked it out. Would come back!

    Udon
    Julia T.

    Came here for udon. Will come back for the sushi. Ordered the udon, bento box, and a spicy tuna roll. Udon was ..... very underwhelming. The chicken is straight up boiled breast. Tough. Dry. Flavorless. Broth was lacking in flavor. Noodles were good but can you really mess up noodles? Safe to say I will NOT order this again. Bento box was good. Nothing crazy. Wish the meat portions were a bit bigger but then again it is a bento box. Chicken katsu was juicy unlike the chicken in the udon. Spicy tuna roll was DELICIOUS. Fresh fish everything wow. Will definitely be back to try the sushi. Bill was about 65$ so average dinner price. Service was quick but nothing outstanding as they were very busy. Lots of extra seating the back. I'll be back to try more of the rolls but will be avoiding the udon.

    Never can go wrong with a rainbow roll.

    Sushi craving? Ramen craving? Or how about a bento box? Come here for your Japanese fix. They have an abundance of options and none disappoint.

    Katsu curry
    Pammy C.

    Our go-to for Japanese food! Love their sushi, particularly their awesome rolls. The kids are fans of their katsu curry and katsu don. Service was ok on a Saturday night. It definitely wasn't busy at all; however, for some reason the sushi rolls took forever. Practically arrived when the kids were almost done with their dinner. The restaurant is always clean and pretty spacious. The service is usually good. Maybe it was an off night for them?

    Tonkatsu Ramen
    Lily N.

    I'm not overly impressed, but the food is okay. I think the sushi might be better than the ramen. You can tell how "precious" their broth is when they overfill your bowl with soup. Based on the high ratings I was expecting more, but the few times I've been here it's been average. Nice sized parking lot for Freeport area. Inside is big enough to accommodate large groups.

    This restaurant is our family favorite and have dined here for many special occasion. Service is always great, staff are always pleasant. My Go To: Dream Come True - this doubles the usual sushi roll and my favorite roll! It has everything which maybe a turn off for some but not for me. You can't go wrong with any of their dishes. Portion is above average! Photos were from our latest visit: 4/12/25

    Akebono roll
    Mikayla M.

    I got the akebono roll and tried my friends nigiri and shoyu ramen. The move here is definitely fresh fish, I wouldn't suggest the akebono roll because it was kinda dry, but I suggest the chef's choice nigiri. I also wouldn't recommend the shoyu ramen. This place is definitely expensive, so I would advise to get sashimi or nigiri here because it is very fresh and generous portions. Service was fast and friendly. It is spacious inside and clean.

    Nihonga (beautiful Japanese paintings.:)
    Yuki K.

    The tempura here is amazing! They offer a great value lunch. We had a combination of tempura and sashimi or sushi, served with miso soup for just $21. I really like their interior design. While waiting for our order, we could enjoy the beautiful Japanese paintings (Nihonga) on the wall!

    Ichiro roll and akebono roll

    Very sad to write this review because we've been going to Akebono for years and it has always been our go to sushi spot in Sacramento. This visit was so disappointing. The fish was way too overcooked, and the portions inside the rolls were much smaller than usual. The photo included shows both the akebono and ichiro rolls - the fish inside are completely white and cooked to the point of being flaky. If you compare this image to previous reviews of the same rolls, you can see the difference - the fish used to be lightly seared but still had its color and texture.

The space is open yet they only have 2 small tables, wall benches and a handful of chairs. Definitely not a place you can dine at, not good for large groups either. Thankfully a family left so I was able to snag a table. The cases are a bit hazy but you can still see what's available. Easy to read the menu as you scan the cases. The worker was attentive and offered suggestions since I like all things spicy. But sadly they weren't spicy enough for me. No worries as they have a condiments bar with sriracha, eel sauce, etc. You can take sauces to go and pick up napkins and utensils as well. My 5 items was about $23. A good deal imo. They were not shy with their filling. A bit heavy on the rice for me but not a deal breaker.

I tried their sukiyaki set, both wagyu and seafood. I wish they had given some instructions on the approach or order I should eat the sets of food. It was a little chaotic trying to figure out how I could submerge all the ingredients in the broth so they would cook evenly. The tempura is perfectly crispy, but the rice was a little brittle and got dried really fast. The texture was more like Vietnamese broken rice, and it caught me off guard because when I tried their sushi a while ago, they used very high-quality rice. As is typical with sukiyaki, the broth becomes very flavorful at the end, absorbing all the flavors from high-quality ingredients, but my udon got a little dry while waiting. Since I tried both set, the wagyu sukiyaki broth became a little too sweet at the end. My favorite is definitely the seafood sukiyaki broth. Would I try these pricy sukiyaki again? Probably not. Would I go back to Azayaka again? 100%. This would not discourage me from going back there any amount.

Be careful not to order too much though, because they will leave you super full off of just one. Unagi Nori 3.5/5* These "tacos" are HUGE! Where do you even begin to eat this?! There's something going on in every corner. Saucy, stuffed with toppings, and really messy to eat so grab a fork and plenty of napkins. You get a crispy fried nori shell with a big ol' slab of unagi on top, slathered with sticky sweet sauce, fresh crisp lettuce, sweet imitation crab salad, and loads of rice. Too much rice. I had to throw some away to even out the ratio. The unagi had a lot of flavor but it was hard to get everything in one bite. Salmon Burger 5/5* The burger was simplier and more manageable. Rice to ingredient ratio was much better. Torched salmon, imitation crab salad, and large lettuce leaves. The salmon was juicy and buttery and the entire burger was really tasty. I'd probably come back for the burgers versus nori bites due to rice ratios. These are great to bring over to the park across the street for a picnic day.

The restaurant is super cute and has indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is covered and shaded which is perfect for warmer Sacramento months. They have a variety of menu items including a build your own bowl opton, tacos, nachos,sandwiches, loaded fries, musubi and an udon special. I ended up ordering the Umami Udon with special chicken as my protein ($13.50), a Build Your Own Bowl with fried rice, katsu chicken, the triple katsu sauce, and stir fried veggies with "The Works" ($16.50), and Musubi ($8.75). The staff was super friendly and helped me make some decisions for my order and recommended the umami udon special, which I'm so happy about. The food was made fresh and took a little bit, but was packed with care and was nice and hot. I took it home to enjoy and the food was still hot and the portion sizes were really generous. The Umami Udon was amazing, it had perfectly cooked udon noodles that had a great chew in a creamy teriyaki sauce with smokey bacon, mushrooms, onions and garlic. It was a great mix of sweet and savory and lived up to it's umami name. I would order this again and again, it was so good. The Build Your Own bowl was also delicious and I can see why the chicken katsu is a customer favorite. The veggies were fresh and the fried rice was really flavorful. The Spam Musubi had thick slices of spam with a nice marinade and came with sauces for dipping. I'll definitely be back again soon, and while I want to explore more of the menu the umami udon is happening again!

The boomerang is also a super tasty roll that is a very rich crab bomb of flavor appetizer to be shared. Pro tip: if you want to sit in a booth, you might want to bring your own cushion. The wood seats is very hard and while they said they had cushions on order, it's been well over a year and there's still no cushions.

    I've always wanted to try Izakaya, and finally I did! Cute…read morelittle restaurant with plenty of tables and booths. We all ordered the lunch bento box. I chose the chicken teriyaki and mixed tempura for my two choices, and it was accompanied with rice, salad, two pieces of California roll and miso soup. The miso soup was quite bland, with about 3 little cubes of tofu, and tasted watered down because it didn't really have any flavor. The chicken was very good, with teriyaki sauce with the perfect flavor and thickness. The salad was very good too, because of the salad dressing. I couldn't really judge the California roll because it was so thin that it broke apart. I couldn't wait for the tempura, one of my favorites, but the batter was pretty thick and kinda greasy, so it was just okay. I'm glad I finally got to try it, and will be back. But I'd probably skip the tempura next time. It was a bit heavy for me. There was plenty of parking available, which was great, because we were there during the peak of lunchtime.

    We continue to visit Fuji as one of our favorite date spots and a fun place to bring friends. They…read moreoffer a great happy hour and no matter what time we've visited the experience has been consistent, friendly, and the food has been delicious. There is a designated parking lot across the street, so it's easy to grab a spot and walk over. Just be careful because the parking spots in the lot aren't well marked and it's easiest to just park neatly next to other cars. We like to sit at the bar if there's just two of us, and will grab a table when we have friends. If you want to make sure you have a table, you can make a reservation ahead of time, but we usually don't need to wait too long. Our favorites are the brussel sprouts, karaage chicken, and their nigiri. We also really enjoy the sukiyaki, it's really flavorful and perfect for cooler or rainy weather. We still need to come by for brunch, but we've heard good things. The team here is always friendly, and we've been in enough that some of them recognize us now.

    I will preface this by saying I should come back and judge based off their main menu offerings,…read morehowever they offer a separate brunch menu and that is what I had for my visit at fuji sac. We orderd the loco moco and breakfast fried rice with scrambled eggs. The eggs were deliciously scrambled. The fried rice was ok. The big concern was my burger patty was really burnt. The consistency and flavor of the gravy was interesting. We were the first visitors of the day so I'd say while it eventually filled up, not sure the reason behind burned food. Also, with a full bar, bloody marys were not available. Really unfortunate for brunches. However, I understand this is mainly a sushi joint? So maybe I will need to come back for sushi sometime.
