We come here or get to go at least twice a month for the last few years. A few things we always order - mama's chicken wings (salt and pepper style) , salmon skin hand-rolls and the bbq albacore. There are a lot of good different rolls we vary in ordering. Of note is they have amazing happy hour prices from 2:30-7 EVERY DAY. Yes, that includes the weekend. And there are so many items on the happy hour menu. We don't drink but lots of drink specials as well. We also sometimes bring our nephew who eats us out of house and home and this is where I have to recommend the bento boxes. They are HUGE with a ton of food. Affording sushi for a 21 year old athlete is very soendy and the bento biz saves us. Especially because you can order two options! The staff are so nice! They always make great suggestions. If there is a new special or we want to try something with say... scallops ( because I love scallops!) I also appreciate they have non alcoholic asahi! They even had the 49ers game on today! read more

The restaurant is located on a really busy street and parking is hectic so keep that in mind. It's located in a small shopping center next to a Boba and pizza place. I've only ever ordered delivery or pick up here and there's never anyone at the front desk which is a little annoying so I have to wait until somebody notices I'm there before I'm able to pick up my order. Aside from these minor things the sushi is so so yummy! This is my go to sushi place even though it's a bit further for me than other sushi restaurants their spam musubi is second to none. I wasn't able to get a picture of it because I get tunnel vision when I have it in front of me lol. The two sushi rolls I got today were really yummy. i've been trying a new role every time I come here, and I swear they never fail. The mari roll was a bit better than the blue fire roll though in my opinion. I highly recommend this place. read more

Have been here now a few times and recently came back after a hiatus. It is very easy to drive by and miss this spot because it's off a busier street and has a slightly difficult parking situation, but please check them out! The restaurant is very spacious inside and they have a big menu with lots of options to choose from. They also have a really great happy hour that is everyday fro 2:30pm - 7:00pm! So far I haven't had anything bad here, the food has been fresh and delicious. The most recent time I came with my friend I ordered the 9er roll and we shared the spicy garlic edamame. My roll was filling and delicious, and the edamame was so so good! Not too spicy but very flavorful. Our server Evan was super nice and helpful too in answering questions. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came here for a much needed comfort meal and alone time. Appreciate the staff and everyone so much. Especially when I'm having a not great day and you get recognized and called by name. It may seem like such a little thing, but was kind of like a hug. As always the food was freaking delicious. Got there 20 min before happy hour was over too! Ordered a miso soup, gyoza, and the Ava roll (my fave) with the sauce on the side! You don't know how bad I wanted to order the mama's chicken wings, but maintained self-control lol. Can't recommend them enough. Love you Jensai!! read more

WOW! I cannot say enough amazing things about this place!!! I hosted my staff holiday party here and it was PERFECT from start to finish. The space easily fit about 50 people with tons of room left to mingle, play games, and actually enjoy the party without feeling cramped. It was truly the ideal event space. Why I LOVE this place: * The space is absolutely perfect for hosting a party or large gathering * The staff is next-level amazing: attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating * The food menu is HUGE and every single dish was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented * The staff went above and beyond; our party platters were already labeled and buffet style table perfectly set up when we arrived * They even suggested staggering the food coming out, which was genius and made the entire event flow seamlessly Every single person at the party raved about how fun and wonderful the event was, and that's BIG thanks to the outstanding restaurant and incredible staff at Jensai. They truly made the night effortless and unforgettable. read more

Great food, friendly service, and nice atmosphere. Ate from the Vegan menu and left feeling super satisfied!

Jensai is located on 16th street, across from the ARCO. There is minimal parking spaces in front of the restaurant but we were still able to find one. I visited during the week and it was not busy at all, I am not sure if it gets busy during the weekend or happy hour. The server was awesome and very kind. He also promoted their happy hour and recommended we come back to try it out. We ordered the miso fish and chips as an appetizer and they were really crispy and the potatoes were a nice thick cut. The fish was really soft, however I did feel like it was overwhelming greasy, order them with that in mind. My boyfriend loved them and he doesn't mind greasy food and I thought they were pleasant. For sushi we order the Volcano, 9er roll and the JenSai Blue Fire Roll. Highly recommend you try those three. read more

Got takeout sushi on a sunday afternoon. Ordered a Bento box with teriyaki ribeye and salmon. Both delicious. Im very appreciative that they packed the cold food separately from the hot food. I didnt ask them to but they knew the right way and thats a small gesture that makes a difference. I will be happily ordering from here again. read more

Always quick service whenever I'm in a rush for sushi it's a great place to visit. Have a great variety and a decent happy hour. It's kind of dark in the restaurant, but it's a nice ambience read more

We came here on a Monday night to celebrate a friend's birthday, to be honest when we pulled up it's was a bit sketch. The street had a bunch of randos walking around. Women experienced homelessness sat right outside talking out loud. We could see no one was there yet and really wondered how dinner was going to go. Well come to find out, it was delicious!!! We ordered some great tasting rolls and the fish and chips along with the golden gate was prob the best sushi I have had so far in sac. Trust me, the fish was crispy and the fries was so tasty and flavorful. The sauce they provided with it. amazing!! Come try this place out. Service was kind and fast!!! I would come again for sure!! read more

Jensai Sushi is quite possibly the greatest sushi restaurant i've ever been to. The service was great, the food was phenomenal, and the vibe of the restaurant was so easygoing and chill. I loved everything about this place and I always go out of my way to visit whenever I'm in the area. I can't recommend this place enough read more

A great place for Happy Hour. The teriyaki chicken is really good. In my opinion, this place has some of the best French fries is Sacramento. I know that's a weird thing to say, but their Fish & Chips and Pulled Pork Fries are super good. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable about the food. read more

Jensai is great! The location is kind've weird (on 16th right next to the freeway), but Jensai is consistent, reasonably priced, and the food is bangin. I'm big on creativity and flavor (no boring, country stuff), and Jensai brings it. Their roll with habanero in it is my favorite! There isn't much ambiance here, the inside definitely is a hair dated, but I typically do takeout. Service is very friendly as well! If the inside was updated a hair I'd give Jensai 5 stars. But for now it gets a still incredible 4.5/5 in my book. Highly recommended! read more

Great place, stopped for lunch with kids. great service, great food at decent prices. Kids bento boxes are very convenient

I have been going to Jensai for years now and I have to say at first I wasn't a big sushi fan but after eating at Jensai I have become a big sushi fan! I 100% recommend that if you are looking for great food and customer service, then Jensai is perfect for you! read more

This place is nice. Big enough to host a gathering where they can seclude the area separate from main seating area. Always amazing service and portions are always big and fulfilling. I especially love their calamari with their one of a kind sauce that pairs with it and their house salad dressing keeps me coming back. Addicted. The oysters are always a hit. Still deciding which is my fave roll there but all in all their rolls are big and satisfying. They're not just a sushi joint but offer so many kitchen items you wouldn't expect at a sushi restaurant. Koy's loaded fries are super crispy and has explosion of flavors. Sorry no photo, ordered takeout and ate it all before reviewing. LOL. read more

The sushi was the freshest most delicious around, they have a wide variety and saki bombs they also have a delicious gluten free menu, and the service always makes you feel as if you're family My favorite was there 49 roll oh and the Lion King was off the chain. I would recommend this restaurant ten times over. read more

Jensai Sushi - The seared tuna, lion king roll and raiders roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

It has been awhile since i patronized this spot. We came on a Monday night and only few tables were occupied. there were actually more homeless people outside the parking lot than patrons. But what did we order and how were the entrees. We ordered the following: 1) Sushi rolls: Chefs special "Mystery" roll consisted of a very strong tuna sashimi taste that was a deep fried roll. Not sure, but a strong flavorful raw fish taste makes one wonder on the freshness. We also ordered a salmon roll. Decent size filled with salmon and cucumbers and topped with more salmon. both rolls were ok. I just hope the "mystery" roll won't provide a mystery trip to the restroom. yikes! 2) two chicken teriyaki plates: looked like 2 pieces of chicken thighs, rice, salad, and both came with miso soup. Decent size plates and chicken was moist. 3) Sesame chicken plate: decent size plate. they used white meat chicken for this entree. our dining companion said the chicken was fine. 4) Unagi Donburi: the bowl looked great. But it was the first time seeing this entree arrive cold. They used cold sushi rice for the foundation and sliced several cold pieces of unagi on top covered with unagi sauce. the flavor was fine but was taken back by it being a cold dish. perhaps that is how they serve this dish? I asked our wait staff and she said i can ask for it warm next time. Hmmmm - next time? Overall: the food was decent, the price was fine, but not really a destination place. If you are in the area, sure give it a try- but i wouldn't drive across town just to experience the entrees here. They are many other destination Japanese restaurants one could patronize instead. read more

My new favorite sweet treat is the green tea fried ice cream. Most tasty desert I've had in a while. The sushi and gyoza was amazing as well. Highly recommend read more

Saturday night. How is it this place doesn't have 5 stars across the board?! Quiet, clean and a large menu selection, including fries (FRIES!) The rolls and nigiri were fresh and tasty; all eight of the rolls we ordered. (Too many to name). Our waiter was pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating. Sadly, the parking is tight or they'd be a lot busier. I'll be back. read more

Decent sushi spot whose real claim to fame is its huge happy hour menu, which runs from 2:30-7pm during the week. The menu includes over a dozen rolls ranging from $8-$10, as well as a number of hot appetizers and entrees. The sushi itself isn't amazing - good enough for the happy hour prices. My friend ordered the fish and chips, and though he said it was good, there were only two smallish pieces of fish. Drinks are cheap as well during happy hour, with many cocktails and we'll drinks going for $6.50. read more

An AMAZING happy hour spot. This entire order was happy hour and in total was under $35 total for 2 of us to fill up. The mama's chicken wings were FANTASTIC, very crispy and full of flavor, can't wait to get them again. The gyoza was great as well. Both rolls (9er and sexy devil) were both filling and had a wonderful flavor and great sauces. They are a bit more rice heavy than most, but again, if you want a solid sushi spot for a great value - this is your spot! Would 100% come back again, great place, food and service! read more
