    Jtown spicy katsu
    Leslie F.

    Order online before you go! There were about 15-20 people there when I arrived. The outside window pulls double duty with snow cones ordered on site and anything from the kitchen ordered o line or in person. Sandos did not disappoint! The katsu was crispy outside and still wonderfully juicy. The pickles were delicious. The very short operating hours make it tough to catch them, but worth planning to stop by. My niece had the BLT and said she would definitely be back for more!

    This has been in my bookmarks for a while and I finally had the chance to go try it. I don't live too far from here so it wasn't hard to get to the place. It's in downtown and shares the same kitchen/shop/building as Osaka-Ya. Parking can be in the neighborhoods or surrounding streets. No dedicated parking lot. There are a few spots right in front, but those are usually taken. I ordered online for pick up and was 30 minutes late to pick up (thanks work), but the gentleman assisting me was nice and has great customer service. I did get my food to go. The sandwich itself was nice. I would say above average. Maybe next time I'll try it fresh, but it did lose it's crunchy texture due to my late pick up. I got the Jtown sando and it does come with chili oil, which will pool at the bottom of the paper wrapping if left for too long. I also got the cookie, which was thin, but huge. The edges were crispy while the center was gooey. So good. Overall, good food and great service. I'll try to come back.

    loco mucho hambagu katsu, golden curry: gravy, kraft, fried egg, scallion

    This egg salad sandwich was almost EGG-celent. The texture was amazing! Soft bread, creamy inside. BUT super bland! I wish they would add a little bit of salt or spices to give it some flavor. It tasted like nothing. The furikake added a little saltly flavor, but enough wasn't provided for my taste. We also tried the loco mucho (hambagu katsu, golden curry: gravy, kraft, fried egg, scallion). Honestly the katsu hamburger patty wasn't my favorite. It wasn't even crispy under all the gravy. So I think it would've been the same if it was a regular hamburger patty. It was still pretty tasty though. Service was quick! We got our order in about 15 minutes on a Saturday. We used a QR code to order through their website. Theres no inside seating, just a window. A few tables outside!

    Finally found a scallion pancakes here in Sac! This is My absolute fave. Miss this when i was in taiwan and now got to taste their breakfast scallion pancakes. They have a variety of choices you wanted to put. They only have pick up every friday since it sells fast! Its a huge servings so you will really get full or you can share it as well. Will come back and try their other menus.

    I've been craving sandos for so long so when I found this place, I had to check it out. What I didn't realize was that it shares the same store next to Osaka-Ya, where they sell the shaved ice! While waiting for the sandos, it was easy to just walk into the store next door to buy some onigiri and mochi I ordered a Cluckin Katsu Sandwich and my friend ordered a J-Town Hot Chicken Sando. I wanted to order the Tamago and seasonal fruit sando, but they were sold out by the time I got there. It turned out that the Cluckin Katsu Sandwich was more than enough for me too haha. I ended up saving the other half of the sandwich for dinner. As others have mentioned, the chicken is HUGE and the egg salad is a great complement to the softness of the meat. Bread was soft and the sauce they used was so gooood. I think it's worth the price! Be aware that there isn't a lot of seating outside though so maybe worth ordering to-go.

    Takoyaki Fries

    I'm so glad I stopped by! They are serving out of a window attached to Osaka-ya. You can order off of your phone and then they have a few tables out there where you can wait. I got their Takoyaki Fries ($14) and J-Town Hot Chicken sandwich ($16). The fries were loaded with flavor and were a huge portion! The Chicken sandwich was also huge! They give you a huge piece of chicken and the flavors were so good. The chicken was nice a juicy and can easily be split between two people. I will say, I think they use a hot chili oil to make it a little spicy and so it is pretty messy. I felt like it was a little too much oil for me but totally personal preference. I would definitely still get it again even with all the oil. They're open Wednesday - Saturday 11am-2pm or until they sell out. I would definitely recommend stopping by and I want to go back to try more of their sandwiches.

    Cluckin Katsu
    Rachelle P.

    I love Japanese Sandos so when I saw this shop I knew we had to check it out! We ordered the Kinokodon, Spam Musu Mi, Cluckin Katsu and Much-O-Fish. Hubby's don he shared with baby was incredibly flavorful and mouthwatering! So much so that I may have taken more than 1 bite lol! The popular fish sandwich is only available on select days, so he was excited to try it! My eldest didn't like the katsu, so we swapped sandos and she ended up loving my spam! I thought the katsu had a decent flavor and the chicken was nice and tender. Mecha Mucho is conveniently located inside Osaka Ya, next to Osaka Shaved Ice! Come early, place your order at the window and grab a seat before the line fills up! Nice staff! We'll be back to try more next time we're in Downtown Sac! 4/5 stars! SYOY! :-) *Song Credit: Secret Sauce by Jeff Kaale

    Yakisoba pan, egg sando and katsudon
    Jenica E.

    Great place to get a quick bite! We ordered the egg sandwiches, yakisoba pan which was stuffed with noodles, egg, and spam goodness! We also shared the katsudon which was flavorful. I also love that it's connected to a little convenience store that sells other Japanese goodies. Also fresh mochi!!! I definitely want to come back and try more of the mochi and get some shaved ice next to it.

    I wanted to try this place for awhile but their hours are pretty limited. Made it out on a Saturday morning. This spot is located inside Osaka Ya. J town hot chicken sando: A- I've only had sandos a couple times before and they were lacking in filling. This one however is PACKED with freshly fried up chicken katsu that is super tender, plus a good amount of veggies and sauce. It's wrapped tightly so it holds together pretty decently.

    Ordered at the window. Service was excellent. Poor tall guy had to bend down each time to take everyone's orders. I didn't order ahead, but the wait was reasonable. A couple of bistro tables out front to eat... pretty chill. Temperatures not too hot yet, so it was enjoyable outside. We ordered the Cluckin' Katsu and Tamago (Egg) sandwiches. Tamago was my fave, especially with the crunchy "pot furi" topping served separately to stay crunchy. I imagine the corners of the bread were a little chewy from being refrigerated. I was hoping they assembled it fresh. Minus a star for that. 3.75 star. Cluckin' Katsu sandwich taste was ok. The bulldog sauce must not be for me. Not bad, but not eye popping. Chicken portion was good, extended beyond the edges of the bread. Nice. Overall, worth a try!

    Great service, quick preparation, and delicious food. 5/5 recommend! If you're new, you order inside and can do pickup outside if you ordered ahead. The guy who took our order was super friendly and added some Hi-Chews for us as a little ending treat, which was fun. The staff here are super fast as well. As I was finishing my payment, they already completed my order and had it packed for pick up. Cluckin Katsu - Hits the spot when you crave a katsu-sando. Crispy chicken, generous sauce, fluffy bread. Crunchy on the panko but tender on the inside. MM Cookie - Black sesame and chocolate chip? Sign me up! The cookie was huge and made a great dessert. It's not too sweet due to the sesame and salt and was very enjoyable. I'd order another one if I wasn't so worried about my blood sugar.

    WOWOWOWOW!!! I need to try more like asap lol. The bread was so soft and buttery and the filling was perfect! So creamy and flavorful. Glad there was like no chunks of green onion or other stuff in there it was just solid egg and creamy goodness! Loved that the side of like crispy garlic(or onions?) was like not mixed in already! So it was still crispy when you ate it cause you add it yourself. Giving it the perfect crunch to softness mix. I picked mine up from Osaka-Ya in their cooler since it was a Monday. Will def be going back when they have more options available!!

    Katsu sando
    Suzanne C.

    The best katsu sando in town! Went in on a Wednesday afternoon. This shop is definitely worth the hype. Their service was superb, informing customers how long their order would take since the katsu is fried per order. I appreciated the information . The sando includes the lightly fried katsu, a slaw, and egg salad. It marks all the boxes for the different textures and I enjoyed that it wasn't soggy which is my ultimate pet peeve. They have a few small tables outside but definitely a to-go place. Not a place for a large crowd but would be good to do a big order for a larger group. They share the same bldg as Osaka-ya. Can't wait to go back to get the sandwich and try other items.

    Delicious! Might be my new favorite Sacramento sushi spot…read more Lunch set with kaisendon was a bit redundant because I also got the chef selection 18 piece sashimi which was much better. My partner and I each got a lunch set. Salad was great and so were the croquette and corn chawanmushi. Galbi was a little fatty but still good. Soft shell crab was too much crunch. Miso soup was nice and had mini scallops except the first scallop was still cold inside (I guess it was freshly put in and not overcooked). Service was good and only two other tables present. Did not try bathroom Plenty of parking Will return for another lunch set

I tried their sukiyaki set, both wagyu and seafood. I wish they had given some instructions on the approach or order I should eat the sets of food. It was a little chaotic trying to figure out how I could submerge all the ingredients in the broth so they would cook evenly. The tempura is perfectly crispy, but the rice was a little brittle and got dried really fast. The texture was more like Vietnamese broken rice, and it caught me off guard because when I tried their sushi a while ago, they used very high-quality rice. As is typical with sukiyaki, the broth becomes very flavorful at the end, absorbing all the flavors from high-quality ingredients, but my udon got a little dry while waiting. Since I tried both set, the wagyu sukiyaki broth became a little too sweet at the end. My favorite is definitely the seafood sukiyaki broth. Would I try these pricy sukiyaki again? Probably not. Would I go back to Azayaka again? 100%. This would not discourage me from going back there any amount.

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.

They even have a second dining room just past the kitchen. We came here for lunch after a really hot day checking out Sac Zoo. We always love Japanese food when needing low fat but high protein and moderate carb meals. The food was excellent, and with generous portions: 1. Plain Sunomono - Is nothing but plain. Sliced cold cucumbers in a sweet vinegary sauce served in a huge martini glass. Super refreshing on a hot day and excellent shareable appetizer. (5 stars) 2. Kid's teriyaki meal are designed for under-7 kids but could have easily fed a teen. Generous amount of moist, juicy chicken breast slices, cup of crunchy salad with Asian sesame creamy dressing, huge bowl of rice, and lots of tempura (2 shrimp, one brocolli, and a sweet potato). (5 stars) 3. Sushi Moriwase B was 10 pieces of chef-selected nigiri. Not bad - rice was well seasoned and soft, generally very fresh fish. I'm less a fan of imitation crab and was surprised to see tamago - but hey, protein is protein. (4 stars) 4. Some dishes were on the saltier however, such as the free miso soup and soba noodles - the large comb one with chicken, mushrooms, veggies, and a separate dipping sauce. Definitely recommend Akebono. It was pretty empty when we arrived but during our meal more families and customers began filling in. Guess they need all the space after all!

    *** Vegetarian Review ***…read more Would I come back? Yes, friendly service. They can accommodate their broths for vegetarians. If you can handle it, always ask for a medium spice level. Tips for first-timers: 1) Plenty of free parking 2) They accept reservations The Food: Vegetable Tempura ($18.95, Grade A): I like how they cut the vegetables--not too chunky. There is nothing worse than a chunky carrot that isn't cooked to its core. The tempura batter doesn't pull off when you bite into it, and it isn't oily at all. Yasai Ramen ($17.95, Grade A): Asked for a water broth to make this safe and vegetarian-friendly. You would think it would be tasteless, but it was surprisingly packed with flavor. The medium spice level definitely helped, but even for people sensitive to heat, this would be a tasty dish. It says water-based, but it still has a deep, eye-appealing dark color. The noodles have a great bite. Not overly mushy. And they stay that way for the entire meal. Broccoli, zucchini, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, and cabbage. The cubed tofu is fresh and wasn't spoiled which often happens with tofu in restaurants that a lot of people don't order daily. Jungle Roll ($14.95, Grade A): Avocado and cucumber, topped with a seaweed salad. Most Japanese restaurants fail to understand that vegetarians also want a fun roll! We asked if they could include a vegetable tempura inside the roll so there would be a good textural component, and added a drizzle of teriyaki and spicy mayo. Good news--they were able to do it, though having to check with the sushi bar is always an adventure ($1 extra for each request). Sidenote: Why do all Japanese restaurants need to ask the sushi bar? One-hundred percent of the time, we eagerly have to wait for the sushi court to give a "rolling." (Ruling if that was too vague). The rolls are made fresh and many meat-based rolls include a tempura element rolled inside. I could understand if we're asking to deep fry the roll, but just adding a tempura and a drizzled sauce? Ok, hopping off my soapbox. Bottom Line We've been coming to this place on and off for over ten years. It's been at least 2 years since our last visit, and there are some noticeable changes. Portions are smaller; the ramen bowls used to be the size of a food challenge. The restaurant itself is looking older and not quite as cared for, but the flavors remain excellent and the friendly, attentive service is completely unchanged.

    If you're looking for a sushi spot that balances elevated cuisine with cozy, heartfelt hospitality,…read moreKumi Sushi is the one. It's the kind of place that quietly becomes your favorite before you've even finished your first dish. ‍ Service That Feels Like Home From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, enthusiastic "Irrashaimase!" The hostess was exceptionally engaging--personable without being overbearing--and guided us through the sake menu like a seasoned sommelier of umami. Her thoughtful recommendations led us to a beautiful tasting journey featuring three types of sake: * A classic hot sake for comfort, * A crisp cold sake imported from Japan, and * A smooth and unexpected bottle from Vernon, CA (yes, Vernon--who knew?). Although the tall glasses were emblazoned with Orion Beer branding, we stuck to the sake. No regrets. What We Ate -- A Love Letter to Flavor Every dish was visually stunning and bursting with freshness. Here's what we devoured: * Truffle Hamachi Carpaccio: Thin slices of hamachi bathed in a rich truffle soy, topped with microgreens and salmon roe. Silky, aromatic, and sublime. * Shishito Peppers: Perfectly blistered and dusted with spice. A simple dish that delivered big on smoky flavor. * Sake Nigiri & Tobiko Gunkan: The sake (salmon) nigiri was melt-in-your-mouth fresh, and the tobiko gunkan had just the right briny pop. Clean, classic, perfect. * Negihama Roll: Yellowtail and scallion in delicate harmony--refreshing and elegant. * Spicy Tuna Roll: A fiery flavor bomb, dusted generously with shichimi. Spicy but well-balanced. * Jade Roll: Wrapped in seaweed salad and sesame, this one was fresh, crunchy, and full of herbaceous notes. A standout roll. * Cucumber Sunomono: A palate cleanser and a beautiful contrast to the richness of the fish. Light, crunchy, and seasoned just right with sesame. Ambiance Kumi Sushi's atmosphere is refined but intimate--dim lighting, soft jazz playing in the background, and warm wood tones throughout. It's got date-night vibes without trying too hard. Final Verdict Kumi Sushi is everything you want in a neighborhood sushi spot--just elevated. Thoughtful service, stunning presentation, fresh ingredients, and a sake list that deserves its own night. Whether you're a seasoned sushi snob or just looking for a delicious evening out, this place delivers. 11/10 would truffle hamachi myself into oblivion again. Highly recommended.

We will be back to try more of their dishes with our great first experience.

    Sacramento friends, there's a relatively new Sushi spot in town!…read more Naoki is located in a very familiar space in Midtown, and everything about Naoki it's already an improvement! The interior has been redone, and it feels lighter and a little bit more Restaurant. As a heads up, they've only been open for about 7/8 months and don't really have an established happy hour yet, but I understand that they are working on creating one! They have a pretty extensive sushi menu, and you may get lost in all of the choices, and there are many delicious ones that I definitely want to go back and try! One of my Foodie friends, and I decided to start out with the spicy edamame. It definitely would not be a choice for either one of us. We found that the edamame was not completely boiled, and the spicy seasoning while poured on top, definitely would've been more enjoyable if the edamame had time to marinate in it. Overall, we didn't really care for its flavor or spice level. The assorted tempura was pretty tasty! The batter is light, and the veggies and shrimp are delicious. The dipping sauce was pretty mid-level and I would've enjoyed something with more flavor and something that would've enhanced the tempura. The Hinoka roll was larger than I anticipated, which is always a good thing, and I ordered this based on the recommendation of the waitress. The roll was mid-level. Not absolutely fabulous, but not horrible either. They are very light handed on the sauce on top of the rolls, and I did request some Unagi sauce, which definitely helped to elevate the flavor profile We both loved the way the Nigiri was presented, and definitely made for fun conversation. The Nigiri is pricey, and was tasty. Naoki definitely should be given grace since they are newer. The staff is pretty attentive, and I'm hoping that they find their groove in our community They have their own parking lot with free parking, which is always a plus when you're in or near the downtown/Midtown area. Check them out and don't forget to order the tempura!

    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.
