The service was good, but it did take a minute for us to get our food but it was totally worth the wait! We had the 18 pc sashimi mix, 12 mix nigiri and the lemon drop roll. The sashimi and nigiri were really buttery and fresh! You can really tell it's quality sashimi. Anyways, I highly recommend this place!

This spot is exceptional. I have had a lot sushi in my time, and I have always thought what sets a…read moresushi restaurant apart from the pack is their attention to detail. The garnish and sauce for each roll is unique. I've eaten nearly 3/4 of the menu in my few visits and the individuality of rolls and flavors makes each trip exciting and refreshing. They also have killer happy hour deals all day on Sunday. The service has always been fantastic and the ambience is cozy but high-energy, even if you're the only group in the restaurant. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone craving sushi in the Sacramento area, and I'll definitely be back a lot more!

For the price, solid value. We saw ads on Instagram, and decided to stop in for dinner. We were…read moreable to be seated quickly, and our server was quick to ask what we'd like to drink and begin with our orders. The menu is solidly sized, with plenty of options. I think there's something for nearly everyone here, given the amount of choices for customers. Some orders come in half orders, but not always the clearest what does and what doesn't. Just be sure to check with the staff. Speaking with the staff, they were great throughout. They checked in on us for refills and orders throughout. Afterwards, I was absolutely stuffed. The sashimi we could order without limit, unlike other places. It also wasn't tiny. Some places can really skimp on the sizing of the fish, but not the case here. It's not the fanciest place, and casual looks would fit in. We'll definitely return.

Come noon, and checking my ETA to Los Angeles already pushed back to 21:00 PM, I decided to drive my rig in town to get something to eat before making that 10 hour drive down south. And I settled for Wabune Sushi in the Raleys Grocery Store plaza. So onto the review: I ordered a ton of food, and even wrote everything down on paper for the newbie server. Hamachi Kama: felt it wasnt Krispy or charred enough. 3.5/5 Volcano Mushrooms: wasn't what I was expecting, it was just a bunch of shrooms, battered up with some cream cheese 2.5/5 **would skip ordering this Douglas Roll: wasn't anything worth remembering, as in typing this an hour 1/2 later, I cannot recall what was in the Douglas Roll besides red sauce and spicy tuna, shrimp tempura....so it must have been a mediocre roll 3/5 Chirashi Bowl: was ok, sashimi was fresh, but nothing along the levels of Sushi Gen in Little Tokyo Los Angeles 4/5 Uni: I want to allege after finishing both Uni Nigiri that this wasn't the freshest, because of the complex after taste, it was somewhat bitter with a fishy aftertaste and the coloring was a bit dark. If you ever go to a Mitsuwas or Marukai or Nijiya and look for that shining glistening gold packaged air-imprted Uni...yeah. You'll know what I mean. Totally different. 3 2.5/5 Amaebi: Corral Sweet Shrimp Raw Nigiri: probably the only shining star or the 4/5 *Although I suggest next time removing the heads of the shrimp and steeping them with Miso soup for an additional layer of presentation, it would give the Miso soup more Umami And what else am I missing.....yes the Oysters at Market Price ($16.00) Ok aside from the fact the restaurant operators couldn't really name where the oysters were from...I'm assuming it's frozen oysters...I wanted to give this starter a higher score, but Everytime I slurp, I get fragments of the Oyster shells in my mouth, and honestly, I find the oysters that you can get at Wholefoods market Alot of times better quality and taste (being better quality oysters are sweeter and have less of that Seafood aftertaste. So unfortunately I have to give this order a 2.5/5 even though I finished it because the ponzu and chilli sauces they used really masked the natural tastes of the oyster. Mochi Green Tea Ice Cream: Skip. This is just supermarket mochi ice cream, you can pick up better at Sprouts or Wholefoods. 3/5

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*

But…read moreafter eating here, I couldn't help but wonder.. if the food is this good, why not make it available to everyone all the time? My favorite item was the Seoul Gimbap. 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.

Gave this place a shot since it was down the street from where we needed to be, and we had some…read moretime to kill. When we walked in, the place seemed a bit light on customers, and we were politely informed that the food might take longer than usual due to understaffing. We weren't necessarily in a rush, so we proceeded with ordering. To start, we had the Melting Albacore. It sounded similar to a dish we've had at another restaurant, so we just had to get it to compare. The presentation wasn't great. The daikon looked like it was just slapped on the plate with the sauce. Perhaps sauce in a ramekin on the side could help clean up the presentation. The fish quality was alright, and the crab mix was decent. It felt like maybe the sauce was actively there to cover up where some parts of the dish were lacking. Not a terrible dish overall, but I think it needs better execution. The two rolls we got were the North Star and Aspen. Both decent rolls, but the Aspen really shined (ironic given the other name) with punchier flavors from the lemon and jalapeños. Also, the torch helped to make all the flavors more cohesive. The North Star brought in a better assortment of fish, but similar to the Melting Albacore dish, I wasn't a huge fan of the fish quality. Will I come back here? Probably not, but I do have to give it to our server. She was so amicable that it was hard to really have a negative thought about the dining experience at the time. Also, I thought the dishes came out within a reasonable timeframe, even if they weren't understaffed.

For AYCE sushi, this place was great. Casual vibes, and it did get busy while we were there despite…read morebeing a dinner time that you'd expect to be less busy. With that said, we were seated promptly. Throughout the night, we were tended to and served promptly even though it was obvious they were understaffed. Not the biggest menu, but still a good amount of options for everyone, including non-sushi options. What's awesome is that they didn't really have a limit on the sashimi. Eat to your heart's content, everyone. I've been to other places that limit amount per round and total. Another cool thing about their sashimi is the presentation. I think it might be the best way AYCE sashimi has been presented to my table thus far. The sashimi was a little frozen for the first round, but subsequent ones were fine. The other rolls we had were all solid enough. For the price, we enjoyed. We'll definitely be back.

It's a small spot where you can order to go, or there is some seating available for dining in. I ordered the two-plate combo with two sides. I chose the Spicy Thai Chicken and Honey Chicken, along with rice and broccoli. I was really impressed with both chicken options. Neither was dry at all, and the portions were generous. The Spicy Thai Chicken was barely spicy to me, but the flavors were still really good. The Honey Chicken was also delicious and had the perfect amount of sweetness. One scoop of rice definitely wasn't enough for me, and I contemplated ordering more because I still had plenty of leftover chicken. I believe they make their own teriyaki sauce, but I didn't get a chance to try it. The girl working at the front was very nice. Even though I ordered my food to go, I decided to eat there instead. She was kind enough to check in on me and make sure I was enjoying my meal. I just wish this place wasn't so out of the way for me. If it were closer, I would definitely return!

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.
