I've been to Kintaro several times over the years, the pricing to roll size ratio has always been good, their rolls are yummy and the spicy mayo was different than what I'm used to having at sushi restaurants but also good. Forgot they served appetizer miso soup and that was a yummy surprise, would like if they had some diced green onion in it but all the same it was good. Staff are friendly and efficient, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is always clean and ready for the meal rush[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little sushi spot with a really clean and welcoming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Jacob was such a kind and knowledgeable young man -- he gave great recommendations and checked on us often. We really enjoyed the sushi and had a nice experience overall. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the edamame, which was a little underwhelming for me. Overall still a solid spot and we'd come back! read more

Came late, right before closing. Wait staff were welcoming and made suggestions when asked. Got several rolls that were suggested and some spicy garlic edamame to start. The rolls were solid, but for me the spicy garlic edamame stole the show. It was amazing! I will be back! read more

Sushi time with my kids so we decided to try Kintaro. Nice location with convenient parking. We were greeted promptly and sat right away We ordered the fried calamari for an appetizer. The calamari came with a dipping sauce. It tasted great and the portion was generous. For our main course we had the king, queen and the bay scallop roll. Everything tasted delicious and we satisfied our sushi craving. I noticed their bento box being served to another table and it looked pretty big and delicious; I have to try that next time. I would recommend you give it a try next time you're in Elk Grove. read more

Went here last night with the family, thought it would be a nice outing. We ordered 4 rolls, they came out warmer than the average sushi should be.

We absolutely love Kintaro Sushi Bar restaurant!! I am embarrassed to admit we've never actually sat down and had a meal here. When we are super busy and need to order takeout, this is our to go order place. We've had takeout meals several times over the past couple of years. We've always walked in and made our order to go. The food has always been fresh and consistent. The people working here have always been cordial and helpful. It's a shared parking lot with other businesses. Ample parking but can get tricky on peak times. Eating out has gotten very expensive. I'm positive restaurant owners are feeling the expenses on their end as well. With that being said, their prices are competitive. We enjoy their food and consider it a nice treat! read more

This is an easy place to access and park for free and the sushi was good if you like a lot of sauces and toppings. My katsudon lacked flavor in its dashi sauce and pork cutlet, and the ratio of rice to katsu is far out of proportion, meaning it was so much more rice than one could eat. Unfair to the restaurant, I've recently returned from Japan where the donburi is much more meat and much less rice. The sukiyaki lacked flavor and the beef was not the thin sukiyaki slices and grade. Both dishes had a number of other toppings not typically included with these dishes and while it made a beautiful presentation, it didn't really add to its taste. read more

Came here around 12 ish on Tuesday. It was pretty empty maybe like one or two others. I got the lunch bento with chicken teriyaki. It was 12$ + tax and decent portions. Everyone gets a miso soup first too which is nice. I feel like id have to try more of their stuff to write more lol but it was pretty good i think. I paid online and for tip they only had 15% 20% or 25% and didnt let me custommmmm so that was annoying bc service was alright. read more

Good food, great service, and good prices! Decent sized restaurant but a bit outdated with an odor. We ordered 3 apps: oyster shooter, calamari and soft shelled crab. Both calamari and soft shelled crab were nicely fried and tasty! Both items came with the same dipping sauce. Highly recommend! I didn't try the oyster shooter, but my husband said the sake was strong the and the chili at the bottom was spicy! He liked it! Sushi: we ordered 3 rolls (ichi, 911, and Katalina rolls) from the happy hour menu and one (flaming roll) from the regular menu. Everything tasted good and fresh! I love how the Sochi was sliced to fit into one bite! My favorite roll out of the 4 was the flaming roll because of the habanero masago! Highly recommend all 4! read more

The food and service is always on point. We come here very often, even for to-go. So much so, they know our orders (but we changed it up the last time we went!). The staff are always kind, attentive, and you're not treated like a number. We haven't come across a dish we haven't liked. And when I saw we, it's our family of four, and both sets of grandparents. It's affordable, service is great, food is on par, it's what keeps us coming back. P.S. - Our neighbors are also frequent visitors. We've run into them a few times! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have beer and sake and the tvs have sports on which is a hit with the hubs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We always get the dinner box with mixed tempura. Really good deal! Service is really nice. Wait staff is always attentive.

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate his birthday! The restaurant was nice and quiet by 1pm on a Monday - we nearly had the place to ourselves. The servers were awesome and attentive, being sure to refill our water whenever we needed and checking up on us often. The food came out fast, fresh, and delicious! If you dine in, they start you off with some miso soup. Usually, the soup is just okay, but this time, it felt like it had no flavor... Their takeout service is great too! My boyfriend and I like to have nights in and we like to order takeout. They pack utensils and soy sauce. read more

Kintaro used to be our favorite place for sushi, but it feels like something has changed. Some things that bothered me were, one of the chefs was picking at his shoulder and neck, then making rolls without washing or gloves, service has gone downhill and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the music was not fitting for the environment[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Sad to say, this was our last time to Kintaro. read more

Decided to have dinner out tonight and we selected Kintaro sushi bar. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated pretty quickly. Experience took a little down turn from there but hopefully this review will help take it to 5 stars. Once seated it took about 10 minutes before anyone came over and offered water. We made sure to have our orders ready since it looked like this was going to be what we were going to expect moving forward and we were right. My plate of food and the sushi came out right under 10 minutes but my husband's plate came well after I was halfway through my plate of food. Right before he got his food a gal came over to ask how we were doing. I mentioned that my husband was still waiting on his plate. She said, oh yes, we are behind on Bento box orders". Here comes my suggestions. If you have 2 ppl eating and both plates won't be done at the same time, I would advise of the possible wait time for both meals to come out together so they can make that decision of eating while the other person watches. Second suggestion, communication is key, at one point my husband believed his plate was given to a near by table or he was forgotten about because when my plate was dropped off there was no mention that there would be a delay on his food. Now for the food. My noodle plate was very very good. The amount of veggies and shrimp were perfect for the amount of noodles. And the portion was huge. The sushi roll was to die for. I forgot the name but I think it was flaming roll. My husband ordered the sesame chicken bento box and it was loaded. He said it was very good. I didn't get a pic cause he was starving and dug right in when he got it. read more

For dinner we ordered Bento box with tempura and salmon teriyaki (forgot photo), bbq albacore, Unagi Don, dragon roll, simba roll and tekka maki (again forgot photo). All were all made to perfection.

My go to sushi spot with my kiddos. They always sit us down right away. The food is great, and the employees are always happy.

FOOD - Katsu Chicken Bento Box: breaded chicken, 3 pieces of gyoza, 1 croquette, salad, rice, and the option of CA rolls or tempura. Everything was good. This sounds like a lot and it really was a lot. I was only able to finish about 1/3 of the box. 5/5 - Shrimp Yakisoba: pan-fried noodles with stir-fried broccoli, carrots, cabbage, onions, and zucchini, topped with sesame seeds. This was really tasty. My daughter couldn't get enough of it. 5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS I will definitely be coming back. Everything I've ever had here is good. There's so much different dishes. There's something for everyone. read more

We haven't been here in a few years. It was pretty crowded and we over heard the server tell someone else that they were short staffed. Many of the tables had left over dishes on them and needed to be bused. There was a party of 7 in front of us. She just cleared off the table by shoving all the dishes on another table next to it that had several dishes already on it. It was kind of comical. We finally got seated and she washed off our table with a dirty towel that she had wiped off the last 3 tables. Luckily we had brought in wipes and I cleaned the table again. A male server came over and took our drink orders and said he would be back to take our order. It took a little time but we were finally able to order. We started off with the Agedashi tofu, shrimp Yakisoba, and 2 rolls the Paris and the Ryanon roll. The sushi rolls came first. The rice in the sushi rolls was really bland and actually made the rolls taste bad. The salmon in the Ryanon roll didn't taste to fresh and the tempura inside was fried in old oil. The unagi was ok in the Paris roll but just like the Ryanon the tempura inside was horrible. The Agedashi arrived next. Oh my just tofu coated with tempura batter which is not what Agedashi tofu is supposed to be. Yuck we had to send it back. Didn't like it at all. Finally the Yakisoba arrived and thank god it tasted alright. We finished all of that. We were so disappointed. I couldn't believe the food was so bad . Especially since the place was packed and more people were coming in. I ate all the unagi off the sushi and left it. I didn't finish the salmon or the rolls of the Ryanon. I don't think we will be coming back again. The server didn't take the Agedashi off and we had to remind him. read more

I've dined here a few times now. It's usually one of the go to spots when I come in town to visit because they have Yakisoba noodles. The portion of the noodles are huge and can definitely feed two. I tried the potato and vegetable croquet for the first time and it was good. My favorite sushi roll here is the baked salmon roll. They do not have fried rice, unfortunately. They have a nice bar selection, including red wine. The music was really good when I dined in as they had R&B playing in the background. Our service was fast, our food came out rather quickly. Overall, I always enjoy my meal here and I look forward to returning. read more
