Azukar Sushi is a very special place to me.Way back in the day when they were located on J street in the nightclub by the same name-they were a sushi spot during the day and a nightclub at night. But once that nightclub got shut down ,the sushi restaurant which was independently owned from the nightclub had to move locations and they relocated to W El Camino Avenue in South Natomas. Azukar Sushi was the very first AYCE sushi spot I ever went to in Sacramento-way way back during the J Street days. Through the years I would stop here again for the nostalgia and to be reminded of how incredible a few of their dishes have always been. Well this is a recap of my most recent stop. The cost of the AYCE dinner at this location is $32.95.It gives you access to everything on the lunch and dinner menu-made to order. These are most, if not all of the items I had that meal. Pacific Sunrise-This is my favorite dish on the menu-I ordered it multiple times-10/10 Item Seared Salmon Carpaccio-This is my 2nd favorite dish-it's so fresh and so yummy-highly recommend-9.5/10 Item BBQ Albacore-A true taste explosion-another dish I order multiple times-9.5/10 Item Hamachi Carpaccio-a pretty solid dish-a very light bite but still tasty-8.75/10 item Lion King Roll-my favorite roll on the menu-full flavored-9.0/10 Item Yummy Roll-Super Tasty but just a bit heavier bite-8.5/10 Item Salmon Lovers Roll-sounds better than it looks-I only order because I love salmon-7.5/10 Item Jalapeño Tuna Crispy-High expectations little result-too much tempura 6.25/10 Item Spicy Shrimp Hand Roll-my favorite hand roll served on the menu-so yummy-8.75/10 Item Shrimp Hand Roll-Pretty good just not as good as the spicy version-7.5/10 Item Nigiri Plate-underwhelming-expected more but the fish didn't do enough-didn't feel fresh enough-had a hard time eating all the fish served-5.5/10 Item Parking at this restaurant is plentiful as they share a lot with many other businesses including Raley's and Starbucks. In closing-I love Azukar in a way one would have feelings for a longtime friend that they barely see anymore-Is it the best sushi in the area?..No...Is it the fanciest sushi in the area?...No...Will I continue to patronize Azukar for as long as they are open-100% They are my sentimental favorite AYCE in Natomas. PS-I will say that Pacific Sunrise is easily my favorite individual sushi dish they offer anywhere in the area-it's so delicious-you have to come and try it if you ever make it to this solid sushi restaurant in Natomas. read more

Delicious and great service fast and fresh! I will definitely go back! I've been telling friends about this place and they agreed that it's a great spot read more

I have always thought this is only an ayce restaurant. Instead, they do ayce and regular menu. Met up with friends for lunch here. We came right before they opened so there was no wait. I decided on a 2 item bento box with battered chicken teriyaki and spicy tuna sushi. Portion was huge. Chicken was overly fried. It was on the dry side. Sushi was good but tiny. Cucumber salad was refreshing. Service was pretty quick and attentive. read more

Azukar Sushi - Bento box 2 items with breaded teriyaki chicken and spicy tuna sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

First tried this place last year and it was a good experience. Tried again on a Tuesday and another time on a Monday. Sushi Tuesday I got the spicy assorted sashimi, pacific sunrise, sunomono, caterpillar roll, spider roll, unagi, tako, inari nigiri, and miso soup. A different day on a Monday I got the spicy assorted sashimi again, wakame, hamachi carpaccio, hamachi, kani, tamago nigiri, rainbow roll, and dragon roll. I preferred the food and service on Tuesday than the Monday visit. There were a lot of people on the Tuesday visit but service was really great. The lady who helped me was really efficient and keeping checking on you. I was the only one on Monday visit but the lady who helped me seldom checked on you. I feel like food was not so fresh on Monday visit. What I liked: spicy assorted sashimi and liked it mixed with sunomono compared to mixing it with wakame, spider roll, unagi nigiri, rainbow roll, dragon roll Okay: pacific sunrise, I liked this but will get the sauce on the side next time, the sauce has an odd taste for me, caterpillar roll, inari nigiri, kani nigiri Not so much: hamachi carpaccio, hamachi nigiri, fish not so fresh, tako nigiri, tamago nigiri [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is spacious and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will come back to try more. Thank you. read more

Time/Day: 12pm, Friday Afternoon Dinner price charged all day on Friday. They were super attentive and friendly. The fish was fresh and the menu has creative flavors especially the pacific sunrise. It wasn't traditional Japanese sushi but it was delicious! There is no limit to what you can order each round, but the rolls are decent size. Favorites: Pacific Sunrise, Hamachi Carpaccio, and Unagi read more

First thing I must mention is that Azukar was my first experience with fresh-made sushi. This trip is what impacted my opinions regarding sushi. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Right as you walk in, you are greeted by a quaint, quiet, and calm atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Keep in mind, this might differ depending on the day you come in and how busy it is. You are greeted by the sweetest lady, who leads you to your seat and takes your orders. My personal experience with the sushi selection is top notch. They range from nigiri to rolls to tempura, and many others. The quality of the food is great, and feels and tastes fresh. The all you can eat is the best bang for your buck, as you are able to try as many pieces as you wish. My personal recommendation is to get salmon nigiri, followed by the albacore tuna, as well as the lion king roll. And to end the night off, get yourself a green tea ice cream. These four were my most memorable dishes there. As you head out, please show the chef your appreciation and say thank you. He is the goat. Overall, I would definitely recommend Azukar for anyone, especially as a first-time experience with real sushi. read more

Unbeatable price for good quality sushi. The waitress was very friendly and down to earth, and extremely honest with the no leftover rule. The waitress was friendly and eager to serve us sushi. Water was refilled in a timely fashion. The only twist to this cafe is, unlike a buffet style, it is an "order as you go". We went in as the first customer and ate quite a bit. read more

At $23 for lunch, I wasn't expecting as much as if I paid 30 or 40. The service was great, the fish was fresh, selection was limited.

Love coming here for lunch! They have an AYCE menu dedicated from M-Th for a modified meal and then F-Sun it's the full menu. The F-Sun menu is 32$ while the M-Th is 22$. I usually get a bunch of nigiri. I'm not too fond of the tuna but the hamachi, eel, and salmon are great. The ladies that give the menus and serve the food are extremely nice and accommodating. Never miss a beat to fill our waters or see if more orders should be placed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in the place is usually a bit busy even on my lunches.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And upon entering the chefs always say hello. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is placed in a shady area, a lot of people loitering at the other businesses but it doesn't scare me off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please get the fried banana to end your meal if you come in. It's delightfully warm, not too sweet and served with chocolate read more

Casual spot with great sushi in the south Natomas area! I had the Arizona and Sacramento rolls--both fresh and flavorful, and the Sacramento was one of the best deep-fried rolls I've tried. Edamame and potstickers I order for appetizers, edamame was in a sweet/spicy sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a strong seafood smell when I first walked in, but the food more than made up for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Worth checking out! read more

Food: $23 FOR ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI FOR LUNCH!! Nowadays sushi all you can eat cost more than that so it's a really good deal! I came on a weekday for lunch, so it was served fast and fresh! I really like how theres many choices of sushi and sides we can get! Service/Ambiance: The waitress was welcoming and check up on us if we had more to order or needed more water. I will say that when we ordered a lot, she gave us a warning "No wasting food or you have to pay extra". But I didn't take it as bad way bc we did order a lot and ended up having to eat SOO MUCHH. At least I'm stuffed. Overall: If I'm ever looking for sushi buffet in Sacramento I'll come here!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: 12 square tables that seat up to 4 guests spread out; family-friendly with high chairs; quiet but a little dated decor; clean and simple[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: AYCE dishes are made to order; quick turnaround of orders (less than 5 minutes wait); servers are attentive and friendly; family-owned and family-oriented place Food: large portions and flavorful; nigiri (2 pieces per order); rolls (5 pieces per order - just enough to tease your taste buds but not fill you up). Lots of choices! Unlimited order. Sushi rolls seemed larger than rolls from other restaurants. They also have Mango and Green Tea ice cream for dessert. I do wish sashimi weren't cubed. read more

All you can eat dinner sushi option - 36$ per person. The sushi is really good but they don't have a sashimi option. Instead we ordered fish carpaccio and that was amazing the hibachi was great but you can only order one time . The salmon plate was not goood! Too much excess stuff not enough fish. Lots of their dishes are drenched in sauces but the sushi rolls are very flavorful We ordered in all 4 rolls, 3 carpaccio plates (hibachi, salmon, tuna), chefs spoon, edamame, 2 miso soups, tempura veggie and sesame ball. The sea same balls are ordered based on the number you want - how cool!!! read more

This is my favorite " all you can eat sushi " . I love the quality and the prompt service. I highly recommend .

Got the teriyaki chicken with rice and this was a bit below decent. The chicken is dry and overall, does not have a lot of flavor. I did not finish it, but may try to to not waste food. The gyoza was decent, but the cucumbers were amazing. They're pickled and if I had it alone, this would be 4-5 stars. read more

This is THE BEST all you can eat sushi in Sacramento hands down. The menu variety is *chef's kiss, the cuts on the nigiri are out of this world for AYCE, and the service is top notch and incredibly fast. We've tried literally every all you can eat sushi spot in Sacramento and I'm not kidding you, this place holds the throne. Just look at this picture! That was round one of nigiri [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyhow, the only downside is that this place is in the sketchiest strip mall ever.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I promise you though it's worth it, just brave the danger.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Dinner price: $32.99 Service: Amazing. Servers were very attentive and made sure we got our orders promptly.

Servers greeted people as they arrived and tables were spread out so you're not touching elbows with others.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food: 15/10. I have to admit, I enjoyed this spot better than Raku's for their nigiri's. The fish tasted very fresh and the portions to rice ratio was perfect. I enjoyed this spot so much with my family that I had to leave a review! I'll definitely be back here! read more

Lunch time on a Sunday afternoon. No wait time, relatively empty. Fast seating. Fast and attentive staff. I don't usually post reviews but wanted to shout out Azukar this time around. It's my third time coming to this AYCE sushi spot now and super filling and happy. It's not the fanciest place but good for bargain and excellent cuts of sashimi if you're looking to get your sushi fix. They have a spectacular variety of rolls but my family didn't pay attention to them much as we were very impressed and filled by their yummy hand rolls, sashimi platters, carpaccios, tempura, etc. Excellent and fast service too. Super happy and satisfied. Lastly, we ordered the sesame balls. I'm Asian and I've had a great many sesame balls in my time but these were just the right softness and sweetness when I bit into them to round out the meal. My mom was so happy she ordered a dozen for takeout. Will be back for another lunch in the future. read more

We went in for my daughter's birthday as a party of nine around 6:30 on a Tuesday. They were pretty busy but the customer service was pretty good. The food was great although the seaweed was super thick and made us gag. Other than that we really enjoyed the food. The poke nachos are awesome! All you can eat was fast! They let us use their fridge for our cake and were super gracious. They said they take reservations for large parties which is awesome! read more

What's up: It's dinner time and we were hungry after our day of driving. After a quick Yelp search around our hotel, we saw that this place had an AYCE menu. Parking: Located in the Discovery Plaza, parking is shared among the nearby businesses. Despite that, it wasn't too hard to find parking. Environment: It was a bit hectic. The staff members were running around and we had a bit of a wait before being seated. Once seated, we had to flag them down to get the menus. We also had to ask for ginger and wasabi. There doesn't seem to be a limit to how many items we could place per round. The wait between ordering and food arriving was not too long. And when we were ready to order more, we flagged down the staff member again. What was ordered: - AYCE Dinner ($32.95. Good variety of items, we can order off the dinner and lunch menu for dinner time) - Sho Chiku Bai Nigori Sake (creamy, smooth, and mellow sweet) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Overall, food was good. The beginning of our meal was definitely better than towards the end; the quality of the fish seemed to go down. Surprisingly, the yellowtail nigiri was really good. There's an 18% gratuity added for parties of 5+. Credit cards are accepted. read more

Went to get AYCE on a Tuesday afternoon and there was no wait. The AYCE was 22.95 for lunch. The place is really clean and has a lot of parking spots available. The service was fast and attentive for the most part. I felt like there was more rice on the nigiri than other places but the sushi itself was good. We also got 4 rolls, I can't remember what all 4 were but the rainbow roll was good. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because our server kept insinuating we wouldn't be able to finish our meal throughout the whole time we were eating which felt a little unnecessary, but otherwise it was a good time. read more

Azukar Sushi - Salmon 21. Sake Nigiri Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

We came to this place not knowing it was AYCE. I was really craving sushi and was hesitant to sit down and order since past AYCE sushi places weren't all that great. Decided to order their nigiri, ahi nachos, 4 different sushi rolls (forgot their names, sorry). To my surprise, the fish was fresh and good quality. My partner ordered the nigiri and he said it melted in his mouth and tasted fresh. I ordered the sushi rolls which were delicious! Each roll has its own distinct flavor which I appreciate and the fish was fresh as well. They don't skimp out on the fish and has a good rice to fish ratio. The ahi nachos were bomb!! The sauce they drizzle on top complimented the wontons chips and tuna pieces so well. The service was also amazing! Servers were fast at taking drinks and taking our orders. The food came out quickly as well! I was impressed at how fast the food was prepared. The server came around frequently enough to ask if we wanted another round of food. The only downside was that we kept having to ask them to refill our water and they didn't come until several minutes later (we were eating during rush hour and every table was full, can't judge them too harshly for the wait time). Overall, servers were super friendly, accommodating, and even wished us a good night as we walked out the door. I would definitely come back again and I highly recommend this place! Definitely worth your money! I can't want to come back and try the other food items on the menu. Can't say enough great things about this place. Food is great. Service is great! What more can you ask for! read more

solid neighborhood spot, paid under $28 for ayce sushi and the rice to fish ratio was impressive for what it is. food portions are hefty, sides are included and varied, and service was quick. miso soup was watered down. grt the fried banana at the end, sooooo yummy. overall a 3.9/5. read more

This restaurant is located in a shopping center with lots of parking. The area is not the greatest. I always try to go around the time it opens because it does get busy later. The staff is fast and efficient. For dinner, I always get the ayce. I get the seared salmon and tuna carpaccios. I also get the salmon, unagi, and albacore nigiri. The bbq albacore is also great. For dessert try the freshly made doughnut and green tea ice cream. I highly recommend this place. read more

Wow, food was amazing, like a step up more from other sushi places, not just ayce places. Value is wild at this place!

Stopped by Saturday for a late lunch and had a very good first experience. The place was clean. We were promptly greeted and the sushi started rolling in. Waitresses were on it. They were not personable at all, just flat however, they were very attentive and prompt to bring our orders. We were very pleased that they were letting us know which rolls they were dropping off. Other places just drop them off and leave. Idk what they are. So it was nice. Overall the place was chill, maybe we just got lucky. By the time we were finishing up we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food tasted great. Nothing smelled. I would definitely come back again! read more
