    Hadn't been in here in YEEEARS! Came in with some co-workers after a Kings game and it was wonderful! Food was bomb, drinks I'm told were good (I don't drink alcohol), everything looked and smelled delicious. I'm so glad it still lives up to what I remembered good and service wise! Can't wait to go back!

    Z - Roll, a vegetarian roll

    Went here for dinner for my anniversary before a show at the SAFE credit union. The restaurant is big and nice, but I think the ambience it has is more so a place to eat with family or friends rather than a romantic date night. There is lots of available seating in the restaurant and it was relatively full when we dined in. The service was good. The workers were nice. I personally enjoyed my meal, I got a vegetarian roll, the Z roll which was yummy (as well as a hand roll). All the rolls were 50% off which was nice, I do feel that half off is a fair price to pay for the rolls themselves. If you want sauce on the side, like spicy mayo, they charge $1 extra for it. I think I would come here again to try their bento box at least once and more so because of the convenient location of being near the SAFE credit union.

    Was very satisfied with the Hot Honey Chicken Bento box. This place was very big inside but not really busy. The bento box i got was well priced and had plenty of chicken. I loved the way the chicken was actually spicy but not overwhelming spicy where you can't taste the the honey. Great balanced of flavors. My order was quickly made and overall very satisfied with my experience with this restaurant. Would come again

    I mean what more can I say about this place!? This is my go to sushi spot for affordable good quality sushi. The food, service, and vibe of the place is always top tier. If you're not local and mention sushi odds are I'm taking you here to grab some rolls and sake. Introduced Mr Man to some different sushi rolls, fish eggs, sake bomb, jalapeño bombs, and the vibe of my favorite place. Shoutout to trying new things with cool people. This place never misses for me and I love coming back for more

    I was craving Asian food and this is one of the few open options late night. The service at the bar is quick and the food quality is good. The menu is very expansive, but there are many options for everyone. This is a large restaurant and can handle large parties. The restaurant is clean and easy to access from nearby hotels. Tip: sit at the bar on the right side facing the street for a good experience people watching.

    2.5 stars The presentation looks nice (see photos), but the quality didn't match. The rice didn't taste fresh, and the fish wasn't fresh either--which is a big concern for sushi. Tried the rainbow roll and spicy dragon roll, and both looked good but were surprisingly bland with very little flavor. Even the bento box was just okay--nothing really stood out. Service was solid and the staff were friendly, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, I ended up with stomach discomfort afterward, which made the experience worse overall. Place has a lively vibe, but based on the food quality, I wouldn't come back for sushi.

    We went here for a work lunch. There were 9 of us. We arrived around 11:45am, we thought they opened at 11:30, it turned out that they don't open till Noon. We all waited outside till Noon. They didn't open a minute early. The place was empty, we defiantly didn't need reservations. They put an extra chair at a table of 8 for us. We were immediately given water when we sat down. We were asked if we wanted drinks. One coworkers said she wanted hot tea. He eventually came back and took our orders. Our orders came out in a timely matter. After that we didn't get checked on. We were in the walk way from the kitchen to the rest of the restaurant, but he never checked on us. We had to hunt him down to get our check. I ordered the Thursday Bento Box Special. It came with salad, pickled cucumbers, white rice mound, and teriyaki chicken. It was really good. It was a lot of food. I took half of the teriyaki chicken home. My favorite dish was the Mixed Tempura. I love the sweet potato best. The broccoli was not good. It was milly.

    Two rolls!

    This was insanely good!! Calm inviting atmosphere, unprecedented good sushi at half price! Service was quick and great!

    Needed someplace to wait while my kid were at church, stopped in this place for a bite. Ordered a dynamite roll. It Was pretty thick with rice, the cucumber inside tasted old and water filled. Other than that it was just ok. I won't go back though.

    I've been here a few times so this review is well passed do. Came in here Friday with a friend and I've felt bento box was always good but this time the quality was much better. They have very affordable prices too. I always get the ninja roll and the jalapeno poppers, they always hit the spot. I'll be going in again tomorrow because I can't stop thinking about them. YUM!!

    We were looking for something close to the convention center and stumbled upon this place. A large spacious restaurant, I was a bit skeptical, but we were hungry! Very glad to find that the food here was actually pretty tasty, and very reasonably priced! Bento Box special #1 was what I picked, and you could select the sushi roll with it. My husband ordered the daily special, and the amount of meat was huge, lol. The tempura was my favorite, it wasn't over battered, and tasted fresh! Even the Teriyaki chicken was clean tasting and not drenched in sauce like a bad cover-up job, lol. Staff was limited, but they were friendly and attentive, and food came out fairly timely, despite them being shorthanded. Good go-to for a decent meal that's not overpriced!!

    Happy hour and regular drink menu
    Marichris P.

    Came on a Monday at 4pm during happy hour Happy hour is 4pm-7pm on drinks only Sushi rolls are 50% all day here but the rolls are anywhere between $22-$32 here before the discount so kind of doesn't feel like a discount. We ordered a few sake bombs - house sake with Sapporo beer These are typically $4 but during HH are $2 We ordered a spider roll (Deep fried soft shell crab roll) 9/10 We ordered a rainbow roll 8/10 We ordered garlic Edemame 10/10 When we got there the ambiance was really casual and empty at the time, maybe two other parties there and one server were in the building. Timmy is nice, he seated us and took our order. *this place is closed from 3-4pm Restaurant is large open space, this place is clean and has nice decor inside. Overall nice restaurant, good for families, it was easy to find street parking during the time we came. Would come back again.

    Came in on a Wednesday evening around 6. Crowd was pretty empty. My friends and I were seated at the bar and given waters and menus. The food prices here aren't high but they also aren't serving anything of high quality here either. For chicken thighs doused in teriyaki sauce, a simple salad, mixed shrimp tempura, white rice and 4 California rolls or was $22 before tax. Some of the sweet potatoes in the tempura mix were burnt, the shrimp was really good I'll give them that. The deep fried California rolls were solid. Simple but big and filled with imitation crab. The chicken teriyaki wasn't bad they just were cooked and sauce was poured over them. Didn't knock my socks off. I honestly feel like I could make something better. The server also told my table it would be an extra $1 charge for a side of siracha. I've never been to Bento box and I am in no rush to go back. It's what the kids call mid. Much better options for sushi in the area.

    Did they ever bring back the lunch buffet or is that gone forever now?

    I asked a few months ago and the employee I asked said they don't have any plans to bring back the buffet.

    Do they still have a lunch buffet and, if so, what are the hours?

    I don't know if they have a lunch buffet. We have not been there for lunch.

    Do they offer sushi boats?

    Sorry I'm not sure because we didn't go for the sushi that night, but I can recommend Raku Sushi in West Sac. I think they have that plus all you can eat sushi during certain hours of the day.

    When are the sushi rolls half off, during happy hour or all of the time?

    All the time, as long is you eat in.

    What is average price for lunch items on the menu?

    $10

    Have you ever tried their wine or get sick off of their sashimis?

    This is a very odd question. Here's an odd and nonsensical response: puppies!

They have a really nice porch, but the mosquitos were out so we had the waitress switch us to inside. The spots pretty nice but I had high standards for sushi so I wasn't really expecting much. I gotta say though, I was super impressed. Here's what I ordered: Truffle Hamachi Crudo Premium Nigri mix Power of E All of it was a lot of fun and tasty, except for the shrimp head, wifey didn't like that one, I kinda thought it tasted like chicharrones. Waitress was really nice, but I totally thought she was trolling me when I asked her "whats good/do you specialize in?" she goes "our fish". Brooooooo it's a sushi restaurant. I would hope your fish was good. To be fair...she was right their fish was good. When I go to spots like this I'll usually take the recommendation from the server even if it doesn't sound good. everything she pointed out though I was happy with. my only complaint I would say is that I cant stand it when restaurants use canned soda. Gimmie a soda machine or give me refills. 3 bucks for a soda while less than standard is still ultra harsh. That being said, holy shit. for the first time ever, I gotta report in on bathrooms. Like, this place is genius and I automatically hate all other restaurants for not having bathrooms like theirs. They have these amazing toilets.. the lids auto open and theres just so much more. They are well designed with no crazy nooks and crannies so you can tell they are easy to clean and they have bidets! I didn't use it but I gotta say, im just so happy knowing them folks are hygienic. if any of the staff ever reads this review, please comment back and tell me what the brand of toilet that is because I have to have one for my house. its amazing.

I think SacTown might operate on a slower schedule than I am used to, so 45 min won't be enough time if you decide to come here. Waitress was great and when I did tell her I needed to leave shortly after my meal was delivered, she closed me out promptly, so I appreciated that. She was also very pretty too, so naturally, I liked her. I am a sucker for good looking people haha. I didnt want to think too hard so I ordered the grilled saba (mackerel) lunch plate. It comes with miso soup, salad, white rice. Miso soup was good. Saba was good and I enjoyed most of it. Salad had a dressing that was a little too creamy for me, so I only had a few bites and there was lettuce, which freaked me out. There were a few shishito peppers and I devoured all of those. Overall, I really enjoyed having lunch here. The outdoor area is super nice and Id return to have another meal here. One star deducted because the parking situation is a bit problematic. I deducted another star because service was just a bit slow for me When I am back in SacTown, i'd come back to enjoy some of their sashimi and fresh seafood options.

Upscale sushi sounded great with how it it was this week. I had no memory of the quality or anything and wow I was just floored. We ordered 4 rolls and some sashimi and the scallop croquettes and everything was just divine. My only regret was that we couldn't actually eat more in one sitting. The Thai Telegraph Roll and the Firecracker were favorites with the added sauces. We also ordered the Sunshie and Spicy B, everything was a real compendium of flavor. Our friends said that the Thai Telegraph roll was surprisingly refreshing, and it was! The service was also great, they kept menus at the table so we could add more to our order if we wanted, and our pace was pretty slow since we were visiting with friends and the server checked in on us just enough. Bathrooms were super clean, it wasn't too loud to have a conversation and not freezing cold inside. It was a packed house too! We couldn't believe how full the reservations were for a Wednesday night. Next time we go, which I hope is this year.. i'd like to get a few more warm dishes and less rolls to try out. I'm really glad we chose this place and while it's definitely in that "special occasion" budget for us, i'd like to go back at least 1 more time, and not wait 10 years.

It's clean and modern inside, with a nice open feel despite having a pretty large capacity for the size! We got the spicy garlic edamame to start, which was nice and flavorful with the edamame not being overcooked or mushy - this was a really generous portion and perfect for sharing. One of my friends shared the mystery box ($60) and an order of the ocean trout and scallop nigiri which come 2 pieces to the order. All of the fish was fresh, generously portioned, and beautifully presented. My favorites are probably the ocean trout, the scallop, and the salmon. The mystery box with the edamame as n appetizer and 2 nigiri was definitely enough food, but since everything was so fresh and tasty we also got a superstar roll ($22) to share between the 3 of us -bthis was also super tasty and nice to have as it was a bit more flavorful than the sashimi alone in the mystery box (though we really enjoyed the pickled wasabi provided with the box).

I brought family in from the Bay Area to Chef Frank's, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance strikes that perfect balance--chill and casual, yet still elevated enough for a special occasion. We kicked things off with a mix of plain and spicy edamame, followed by two orders of my husband's favorite shrimp tempura and three orders of my go-to rainbow roll. Everything came out fresh and beautifully presented. A particularly special moment--my 88-year-old father made the trip to Sacramento after seven years (his first visit since my mom passed) and he truly enjoyed the beef/salmon bento box. That alone made the night meaningful. We also ordered additional specialty rolls with unagi and shrimp tempura for the non-celiac guests, and for our main event, the table indulged in three large sashimi platters. The fish was impeccably fresh, artfully arranged over ice--this is where they consistently shine. To top it all off, the birthday girls (my sister and my nephew's girlfriend) were treated to complimentary desserts--cheesecake and panna cotta--which was such a thoughtful touch. The ladies paired the evening with glasses of Cabernet, another personal favorite. Overall, it was a memorable night filled with great food, attentive service, and special family moments. Check out the photos--we had an amazing time! Pro tip: Whether you're dining with a small group or a large party, make reservations to ensure smooth seating.

We saw a lot of large families dining in which fills up the seats quickly so it's a well loved spot. I live 5 minutes away so I'll definitely be back!

We were quickly seated and drink order taken as soon as we sat down. The waitress was super attentive the whole time. We started with an oyster shooter that was spicy and then some Asahi beer that always hits the spot. I tried their spicy tuna hand roll and it was ok. I like it with more flavor and/or cream cheese. Next we had half dozen oysters with some lemon juice and wasabi they were small but fresh with lots of masago. I made my husband try a Sake bomb since he had never had one and it was hilarious. Takes me wAaaaay back! Salmon hand roll a win. Next our sushi rolls were very good and everything was fresh and as per usual we ate way too much. Favorite roll was the OMGF. They have reasonable prices and a clean bathroom. We always had our water glass full and taken care of. Great choice, close to our home and great service.

    Happened to be in Sac for the weekend and on our way out I was looking for something light for…read morelunch. Found this place on Yelp and since I haven't had sushi in a bit, this was the perfect pick. Pulled up and parked (which was pretty easy), the lot is small-ish maybe 20 spots or so. But today wasn't busy at all. We got in and sat at the bar. The AC was on blast which was lovely because outside was 100 degrees. There was 2 other tables, so it wasn't busy at all. It was happy hour which gave us $5 drafts and $2 Kumamoto oysters (6 piece minimum). The dry aged fish was on the specials board as well. Ordered: 6 oysters, dry aged tuna and dry aged salmon nigiri, Rainbow roll and Shima Aji Sashimi. Got the dry aged pieces first. Passed the smell test, no fishy smell at all. Bites were clean and tender. The salmon even had a bit of smokiness on it. Would definitely order again. Oysters and rainbow roll were also really good, solid all around. Asked the chef for a recommendation and he advised to try the Shima Aji (another board special). This go around we got this as sashimi. Another fresh and clean fish. Mild flavor with slight sweetness. We ordered pretty much everything through the chefs behind the bar and the service was solid. Needless to say this is a place I would come back to.

    Naoki in Sacramento on 29th, midtown sushi spot that takes the fish seriously. Got a nigiri…read moreselection, bluefin toro was the standout, clean and buttery in a way you dont forget. Salmon and yellowtail were both fresh and properly sliced, no sloppy thick cuts like some places. Creative rolls without going overboard on gimmicks, you can tell someone actually cares about what goes in them. Intimate space, dim lighting, good for a date night, service was attentive and pointed me toward the right choices without being pushy. 5 stars, premium sushi in Midtown Sacramento that actually delivers on the promise

    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.
