Sucks to write this review as this used to be my go to spot for lunch. It's taken me a while to get to this review but I had to give others a heads up. I would often come around noon during the week, and order the Thai chicken bento box. Unfortunately one of the days I came, I found a fingernail in the California roll. Bit into the roll, and the fingernail as well. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Immediately lost my appetite and wanted to throw up. I flagged my server down (all the employees here are super nice), and showed her the fingernail. She took it to the back and reported it to a manager or supervisor I suppose. When she came back she told me that their California rolls are pre-made, so if you're ordering these rolls BE CAREFUL. She offered to remake the bento box to which I shared no. I asked for my tab and when she came back she said it was on the house and did not ask me to pay (nice gesture, but I mean when you find a whole fingernail in your food, that's the least that can be done). Safe to save, I have not gone back since then and probably won't. If I did, I'm definitely staying far away from the California roll. This happened to me last year, so hoping some changes in their hygiene and making of California rolls have been made since then. read more

Was planning on getting Chinese food next door, but saw the menu on the outside and it caught my attention.... Seemed a lot more affordable as well, so I thought that I'd give it a try. Glad I did. I had the their special which included the teriyaki chicken and the sushi. There was plenty of food. The chicken could have had more taste to it, but I'm not complaining because of the price. The sushi was pretty good. read more

Makisu sushi - Menu with their combo special. I'm having the number 2. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

Our first time going since it changed to Makisu Sushi. Everything inside was as I remembered. They had a movie playing on one TV and the World Series on another. We were greeted when we walked in and seated immediately. We ordered drinks and took our time looking over the menu. I ordered my go-to BBQ Albacore Tuna and a side of white steamed rice. Their BBQ Albacore was absolute perfection! It's lightly seared and melts in your mouth. And I'm used to it being served with a creamy sauce, so I was pleasantly surprised with their sauce! I'll definitely be back soon!!!! 10/10 read more

Came to Makisu Sushi for the first time for dinner with friends, after ine of then recently got into sushi. And was said to be one of their favorite spots in the area now. It took my girlfriend and I a little bit to find something to order, since there were so many options. I tend to favor deep friend and or spicy rolls, so I started there first but the sushi roll "favorites" section was really helpful. Since they all had pictures along with the description. My friends ordered 5 different rolls that I don't know the names of, and two were deep fried. My girlfriend and I ordered the following: Drinks Green tea Appetizers Spicy Edamame Rolls 10. Brenda's Favorite 17. Danielle's Special In total we ordered 7 different rolls, and I tried probably 5/7. The deep rolls were good, and so was my Danielle's Speciall roll and my girlfriends Brenda's favorite roll. I also really enjoyed the spicy Edamame as well. Our waitress was really noce amd friendly and entertained my friend's young daughter who joined us for dinner. The only "hiccup" or minor delay was our aroumd our 2nd order of green tea. My girlfriend ordered some when we initially at our drinks orders taken, and a few minutes later my friend decided to get some ad well. But the 2nd order took a while to receive, and we had to ask about it again at one point. Once we received the 2nd glass, we opted to just get the tea kettle to self serve since it made the most practical sense for refills. Overall: Food was good, staff was friendly, and ordered was reasonably priced. read more

Been quite a few times, they just redid their menu, the prices are still one of the best in the area and the servers are friendly and attentive to refills. I got the roll + nigiri combo with soup/salad. One complaint is that it's annoying trying to figure out what is in the traditional rolls because there is no description on 10 of those rolls. I looked up what they were but it wasn't that standardized between links or pictures and what my phone search said is different from how some were described. read more

Have been here a few times thanks to a friend of mine for suggesting it. Each time I've been the food has been really good and the service too. The sushi is tasty, love the wakame salad, and the gyoza is good either steamed or fried. The spicy edamame is also really good, it's a balanced flavor of spicy and sweet. The restaurant is a nice size with lots of booths to sit in. Lots of parking and in a convenient location. Want to come back to try some new items. read more

You get what you pay for. A little disappointed by this place, 4-star, 500+ reviews and yet I left feeling that I could spent my time and money elsewhere. Came here for a quick dinner with the family, simple items, things we wrongfully assumed were safe bets. Upon walking in, was immediately struck by the lack of any decorations -- a precursor to the blandness of our food (more to come). Beef Udon, Lemon Salmon Roll and a Lion King Roll. Everything was average at best. The two rolls were very basic, the fish didn't taste fresh and even at the 50% off price I didn't feel they were worth it. The Lion King roll specifically, didn't give off the impression that it was "baked in the oven". My wife got the Beef Udon, soup was bland, beef was tough/rubbery and overall the bowl just lacked flavor. Service wise, even that was just okay -- the waitress was nice but seeing as the restaurant wasn't that busy, she could have come to check on us a little bit more. Quick comment on the wait for our food too, Beef Udon came out fairly quickly but then we had to wait another 15 minutes for the rolls to come out. Not sure what took so long, seeing as it wasn't that busy when we were there. Overall, pretty disappointed in this place -- I think the 2-star rating is generous. Don't think we'll be returning. read more

Visited Sac State and wanted to try a new resto. This sushi spot hit my radar as it was on the way home. When in the parking lot, I saw a sign for a drive-thru for order pick up. First impression - this resto already a win before entering. The establishment is def on the older side, yet it worked for the casual dining style. I was immediately seated for a table of 2. I was quite surprised how busy it was - the environment added to the positive experience. You could hear staff engaging with customers - just a good vibe. Service was great. Didn't have to wait long for the server to take our order, and the food came out in good time. The frequent check ins were timed nicely - especially for the water refills. I drink a lot of water and didn't have to once ask cause the server kept a good eye on cup levels. I ordered the salmon, tuna and hamachi sashimi. It came with miso soup and rice. I also ordered the Fire roll. I enjoyed my order. The sashimi was a decent thickness, fresh, and chilled. Other spots Ive been too give room temp, so this was nice to receive. The salmon was my favorite - it was fatty, buttery. At first glance of the Fire roll (no picture in menu) I was expecting a bigger roll but given the simplicity of the ingredients, size didn't matter. It was perfect! The jalapeño and sriracha was the perfect kick. Devoured everything. My friend ordered a rice-less roll. Forgot the name but presentation was nice so I took a pic. I enjoyed the experience and the fresh fish. I would consider the is spot again if I'm in the area. read more

pretty good food. I enjoy the sushi boat since it's always a great experience trying chef's choice. it's similar to an omakase where you get x amount of sashimi, nigiri, and 4 signature rolls. the price was more on the expensive side but it does fill you up. service was good, we did wait about 15 mins before the boat arrived, however, the gyoza appetizer was able to sate our appetite for the time being. nice atmosphere. restrooms could be better and more clean. read more

One of my favorite spots for sushi in the Arden area! If you're looking for quality rolls at a reasonable price, give them a try. I've been several times and enjoy their appetizers and assortment of raw and non-raw rolls. The spicy edamame is always a must at our table! Service is exceptional and accommodating. I asked for a fork for someone inexperienced with chopsticks, and staff were quick to assist. I always feel well taken care of here. Staff make sure you have whatever you need, whether it's wasabi, ginger, or maybe another order of rolls! My favorites are the Fresh Prince (new), Crazy Horse, and Crazy Roll. Rolls are 50% off, and our table of three's bill came out to approximately $65. What a steal! I've exclusively dined in, and Makisu is a casual place to enjoy a good meal. read more

They do charge steep for sushi, but at least they could increase the size a bit to make it worth my money. The rolls were good, fresh. read more

I think this hits the spot if you're craving sushi but not in the mood to go out to a sit down restaurant. I love that they have a drive up window for pickup orders so you don't even have to go in, I pulled up and they handed me my order right away. The sushi was good, I wouldn't say the best quality however they have a large menu with a ton of options which is nice. I think this is a great option for how convenient it is. read more

I love all the options here, they have a large menu. They have delicious appetizers, sushi and their bento box selection is nice as well. I've tried the beef teriyaki, salmon & sesame chicken. I didn't like the beef quality, the salmon was tasty but the sesame chicken was very good. I love the cucumber salad that comes in the bento. The fried mushroom appetizer is my favorite. There is plenty of seating , the decor is modern & fun. The service is always good when we stop in. I would definitely recommend. read more

It was our first time at Makisu, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming. The restaurant was clean and the staff was kind. My mother ordered her favorite, the pepper fins, and was impressed by how fresh and thinly sliced the sushi was, making it easy to enjoy. She also noticed that the tuna might have been seared with a blowtorch, a classic Japanese technique that added a perfect touch. I had the mixed tempura and the Baked Bay Island rolls with shrimp tempura, and they did not disappoint. Overall, Makisu was a fantastic place to try, and we'll definitely be returning soon. read more

Best sushi spot. Dine in is super comfortable! Also have drive thru for order pick-up!

Decided to give this spot a try after seeing its decent reviews, and it did not disappoint! The rolls were cohesive and the ingredients tasted high-quality. A few rolls came with a small dish of daicon in dry ice, which added a unique, elevated touch to the overall dish. Compared to some other spots with similar quality rolls, I would choose to return to this spot! Glad I gave it a try, and would recommend others do the same! read more

My favorite sushi restaurant! Makisu is a staple for me and bf. There's ample seating, one side of the restaurant accommodates large groups. They have soju and sake for alcoholic drinks. It can get a little chilly inside so I recommend something to cover up. Service has always been fine. But as far as food goes, we love the following items and would def recommend: 1) Smokey Joe nigiri - bit pricey but hands down worth it- super flavorful and melts in your mouth 2) Mexican roll - has a little kick in it due to jalepenos and sriracha 3) lemon salmon roll - provides nice balance and makes the meal less heavy because it has a lemon slice on top 4) naked salmon - a lighter option with no rice 5) king spider roll - just a classic and it's done well here And generally I love lion king rolls but I'd go elsewhere for it, it's just mediocre here. read more

I ate half the roll and got to the other side and found hair. I like this establishment and the owner, very nice, but this is unacceptable. Hair in my food? I'm sorry your chefs are letting you down! God bless. read more

Grabbed some lunch with my friends last week and it was good. Service was quick - we were seated right away, orders were taken and food was served in less than 15 minutes. My friend and I shared a 3 bento box with salmon nigiri, chicken katsu and mixed tempura as well as the Howe roll. This was the perfect amount of food for the two of us. The katsu was fried nicely but a bit dry. The tempura was yummy though, we were served one shrimp and four veggies. The nigiri was a nice, thick slice but I felt like the rice was a little old/hard. The location is great for all the businesses near by - it took me less than 5 mins to get here! Apparently it use to be a Wendy's and Taco Bell so there's a drive thru window, which they utilize for pick up orders! I thought this was so convenient and unique to other sushi restaurants! I will definitely have to order to-go one day. read more

The most important thing about a sushi place is that they use fresh fish and Makisu did just that. Fish was fresh and tasty. It wasn't overpowered with sauces. They had a menu of 50% off rolls even on a Saturday night. It had a great selection and both we had were tasty. The star of the show was the Brenda roll. It was named after our wonderful server. If I had one complaint was the decor or lack of decor. From outside, it looked like an old fast food joint. Inside was sparse but clean. It had a definite 'hole in the wall vibe'. Hole in the walls are usually good and Makisu was. My fiancée and I will be back. read more

First time trying Makisu Sushi after going rafting and it satisfied! We got takeout since we just wanted to go home after a long day. We ordered at the restaurant and it took about 20 minutes to have the food ready. We ordered majority off the 50% off menu, if not all all the rolls were from this part of the menu. We got crazy horse, half and half, king spider, lemon salmon, and Philly. My favorite out of the bunch was the lemon salmon. It was the right amount of zest and freshness. I liked how it didn't have a lot of sauce either compared to the other rolls, so it was a nice contrast. The other rolls were good too! I do think sometimes with rolls, they can get lost in the sauce and they start tasting all the same. I wouldn't mind coming again and actually dining in! read more

When I was growing up this location was a Wendy's and I've always had a hard time getting that out of my mind. Pre Makisu it was another sushi restaurant that never seemed to have great reviews and always had a grand opening sign, but once Makisu opened we started hearing good things. My friend actually started going here because of the prices! She said the sushi was amazing and it was much more reasonably priced than the other sushi places nearby. We decided to try it out and have been going ever since! The sushi is great and the fish is always fresh! The rolls are also the size where you can actually stick the full piece in your mouth as opposed to massive pieces where you try and take a bite and everything goes everywhere. Our favorites are the Howe roll, Kawaii Chan, and the Lion King (but ask for real crab!). The udon is also delicious as are the bento boxes! The best part about this place being in an old Wendy's...you can drive through the drive thru to pick up your take out! They have online ordering or you can call in your order. If you're ordering during a normally busy time I recommend giving an extra 10 minutes on top of what they quote. The first few times I went right when it was supposed to be ready and ended up waiting for awhile - hence the 4 stars. I've never eaten inside...likely because all I can think about is the Wendy's lol but whenever we get take out, we always get take out from Makisu! read more

I'm not going to lie, at first glance I thought this place looked like it wasn't going to be good. But I'm so glad I read the reviews first because it was pretty good! We ordered the thai chicken rice bowl and 4 rolls. Yes I know, we're big backs lol it was really yummy! My only issue was that I would've wanted the chicken to be cooked a little longer, but that's just my preference. The rolls were a good size for them being 50% off! They were tasty as well! I'd rather go here instead of Sushi hook which is down the way. Maybe even Arigato. Check it out read more
