    I love this little Sushi & Teriyaki spot, ive actually been coming here for years! It's a goto for a solid bento box or some tasty sushi rolls. This time, I was all about the rolls. Ambiance: 6/10 This isn't a fancy sushi joint, and honestly, that's part of the charm. It gives classic mom and pop vibes if they had an express train running through. Big open seating area with booths along the wall, standard tables in the middle, and a sushi bar up front. It's casual, quick, and comfy... perfect for what it is. Service: 8/10 The service was great! It's one of those team effort places where everyone checks on you, refills drinks, and makes sure you're taken care of. Super friendly, no complaints at all. Food: 10/10 We kicked it off with the garlic edamame, which came out nice and hot, perfectly seasoned, and not too heavy on the garlic. For rolls, we got the King Kong Roll, deep fried, and the Sundown Roll (no unagi for me)and wow... that King Kong Roll slapped. Definitely the star of the show. Deep-fried deliciousness never fails. 10/10 would recommend. I'll absolutely keep coming back. Next time I might switch it up with one of their bento boxes they're also bomb and come in generous portions. Don't sleep on this spot!

    So So So Fresh Roll and Sunrise Roll

    This is my 3rd door dash order with this restaurant. It is so good! I have already tried spicy deep fried tuna roll, sunrise roll, so so so fresh roll and I love salmon rolls. All amazing! Fresh. And also the green tea is pretty good. I highly recommend this place.

    TGIF Dinner!!

    Went in for a late lunch recently and service was great. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her usual roll, but the chicken teriyaki was less than mediocre. Tasted like it was grilled a day or two before and reheated. Definitely not fresh, like it used to be. Sooo disappointing, especially with the rising costs of everything lately.

    Sushi boat
    Yuliya Y.

    Ordered the sushi boat for our party and everyone LOVED it. It was beautiful and it really made the table look so cool. All the sushi was demolished in two hours, I would definitely order this again!

    Lexxy gave great customer service. She went over and beyond with professionalism. Positive vibes, and came to check on all her tables if we needed anything. She made my 50th birthday the best. The food was very delicious the best Thank you :)

    Deep fried cheesecake
    Maci P.

    FIVE STARS!! love love love this sushi place! Food was amazing and FRESH! We got the sushi boat along with appetizers and their deep fried cheesecake (which was a 10/10)! Our server Brianna was quick and knowledgeable she gave great recommendations and also took care of our littles! We will definitely be going back!

    I stopped at Express Sushi & Teriyaki while running errands at Walmart because I suddenly realized I hadn't eaten anything all day. Life has been really heavy lately, so I just grabbed a quick sushi roll and headed back to my car. When I looked at the receipt, there was a sticker that said: "Love One Another - John 15:17." Such a tiny thing... but it honestly hit me right in the heart at the exact moment I needed it. You never know what someone walking through your door might be going through. The sushi was great, but that small gesture meant even more. Kindness like that sticks with people. I'll definitely be back.

    Crab, avocado and cucumber wrapped in salmon

    Delicious and fast service. I'm a salmon freak. I'll eat it raw or cooked. The Tiger Wrap totally satisfies my salmon fetish. Plus, I ordered through Postmates and got a special. Check them out!

    Sake, amazing sushi rolls and more!
    Joanna D.

    My hubby and I had an amazing time at our funday Monday night out. We found an amazing spot not far from our home. The food is absolutely amazing. Our server Iana was an absolute doll! She was so attentive and really great with my avocado allergy. I feel bad that I forgot the other servers name but she was so sweet and bubbly. She knew exactly what sauce I was talking about without the name. Plus the music and lights were so on point. It was a great atmosphere for our date night. Oh and if you haven't had a warm sake on a rainy date night.. it's a must. Can't wait to come back in our next date night. I hope they do expand because this is such a cute spot for friends, families and events.

    dragon roll ! Would get the roll under this one in the menu. With shrimp tempura added

    Ask the Community - Express Sushi & Teriyaki

    Is it all you can eat?

    Unfortunately it is not.., however it is if you continue to pay for each roll... Definitely is filling and delicious though..

    Do they have teriyaki chicken owls?

    I am guessing the question is if we have chicken bowls . Yes we have chicken teriyaki all rice . Which means we provide more rice for those of you that don’t like the salad . Grilled chicken teriyaki with rice and two teriyaki sauces on the side .… 

    I've never had sushi. What is a good non- seafood option?

    I forgot what it is called but they have a teriaky platter with cabage and rice, it is great.

    How close is this Express Sushi to think call Mercy Hospital, is it walking distance? What are average prices?

    It is very close. 5 minutes away approx.driving Prices are average for sushi. Rolls range from 10-15. You could walk but it would be a pretty good distance walking.

    We were craving some Japanese food and found this place with decent reviews. We came on a Saturday…read morearound lunch and it wasn't busy. The exterior is very unsuspecting. I would have never thought a Japanese restaurant was here. The inside was another story! The inside is decorated with all kinds of Japanese pictures and decor. You definitely felt like you were in a Japanese restaurant. The menu was impressive! Everything had pictures which is so amazing! It was just easier having an idea of what to pick based on looking at the pictures. There were all kinds of sushi rolls, bento boxes, noodles, appetizers and plates. We decided to get the ramen, salmon katsu, and tempura bowl. Food came our really quick. Portions were good and everything we tasted wonderful. It definitely satisfied our craving. The tempura was crispy. The ramen broth was rich and noodles nice and chewy. The bento box came with gyoza, salad, tempura, oranges, miso soup and rice. Service was great. They were attentive, and friendly. Eating with our littles ones is never easy and we appreciated how patient they were with us. We loved the food and hope to come back and try their sushi next!

This is exactly what I had experienced when I paid a visit to "Akira Sushi" Located directly on Greenback Lane and adjacent to Auburn Blvd in Citrus Heights, this place opened its doors for business back in mid-2024. Since then, they have seen a very respectable amount of positive reviews. As I had previously mentioned, the exterior isn't much to look at as this is a fairly dated strip mall that hasn't received any updates in decades. And to those that remember, this is the same building that "Pho 54" occupied from 2013-2023. During my visit which was the afternoon of Sunday 8/3/2025 at around 5:15pm, I parked directly outside as there were no other cars here. Upon entry, there was one other customer finishing dinner. After being greeted and seated, I was given a menu complete with a cold glass of iced water. I will say that the interior of this place is quite impressive, cozy, and inviting. The distressed wooden tables paired up with the tan-colored walls and unique murals add an upscale look to the overall interior. On a packed evening, this place can comfortably seat around 50 guests. I will say that their menu is fully loaded with pure deliciousness. They offer a huge variety of traditional sushi rolls, custom rolls, Bento boxes, seafood tacos (available in tuna or salmon), Poke bowls, and even ramen for the colder days/evenings. And even a nice variety of beverages including soda, beer, wine, and sake. Since I was dining solo, I decided on the "Sunomomo Salad" which was a cucumber salad w/Ponzu sauce and Bonito flakes. My main dish was their "Napa Valley" roll which uses shrimp tempura, cucumbers, avocado, spicy aioli, unagi sauce, and topped with sesame seeds. My salad was brought out in less than 3 minutes while my sushi arrived just a few minutes later. I will say that everything was very fresh and delicious. The avocado had perfect consistency while the shrimp was made to perfection. In my humble opinion, this was an absolute gem of a roll. All in all, "Akira Sushi" is about as good as it gets for quality sushi in Citrus Heights. They have very respectable hours of operation being open 6 days a week; Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30am-2:30pm / 4:00-8:30pm with extended hours on Fri/Sat while being closed for business on Monday. Service was great as the young lady that waited on me was polite, courteous, and respectful. With a great atmosphere, delicious food, and reasonable prices, I am giving Akira Sushi a unanimous five-star rating.

    Our experience here was superb! We can't believe after living near this restaurant that we never…read moretried it until now. We are glad we did and we'll probably return due to the freshness of their food. The rainbow roll was just right not too fishy. The chicken teriyaki, miso and edamame also tasted fresh and delicious. Some other sushi places usually have a similar taste or the chicken doesn't taste as fresh but here, the food was of a different quality. The edamame too tasted different with what they called the "spicy edamame". It wasn't your typical chili flake spice; this one tasted like a bit of gochujang or miso paste. It was a nice change from what you normally get at other Japanese places. The inside is just on the smaller scale so if you have a large group, it may not work out especially if they are busy. They also do not have an outdoor area. So, I would say 1-4person group would work. We came on a Friday evening and there was only 1 table of 2 left for us. So, we will definitely be back. We recommend this spot if you are in the area and want to eat good quality Japanese food!

This was…read moremy third time here, (and it happens to be my birthday week) and somehow it gets even better every visit. What I love most is that the menu is always changing with the seasons. There's always something new and exciting to try, and many of the ingredients and fish are sourced directly from Japan. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about what they're serving... I was amazed when they explained that one of the fish had been raised on a diet that included orange peels. The level of care and attention to detail is incredible. Everything I've had here has been exceptionally fresh and delicious. In fact, I keep bringing more friends and family with me each time because I want everyone to experience it. If you're planning to visit on a Friday, I highly recommend arriving around 5:30 PM if you want a good chance at getting a seat because it's small. This place is absolutely worth it.
