Came to see one of our favorite comedians. Needed some dinner before heading to the venue. It was on a whim, we saw it as we drove by. So glad we came in, the food is fantastic. Everything we had was absolutely delicious! The service is friendly and welcoming. They have a huge screen and had one of the FIFA games on.

I've been to Naoki twice, once for a lunch bento box and once for dinner. Absolutely love this place. The tempura is some of the best I've ever had, light and delicate like lace. And the nigiri was incredible

My husband and I chose Naoki to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had a reservation for 4:45pm just in case and the parking lot was almost full. We got seated immediately but it took a while to get our order in. We started with the uni pasta to share, which came out relatively quickly. The pasta was well coated and tasted great, but portion seemed a bit small compared to other photos posted. We both opted for the chef's nigiri omakase that ended up being $65 each. The nigiri pieces were big and flavorful with a beautiful presentation. Slightly on the higher end compared to other sushi restaurants I've been to. Found out they do offer an omakase dining experience for $195 per person but reservations are required. Overall, food was great. Wait staff were very busy, so service was a bit slow. Definitely worth a visit.

Stopped here on a whim as the other sushi spot we wanted to go to was too long of a wait. We were seated very promptly on an early Friday evening and found the decor very nice and the staff very welcoming. Unfortunately, that ends the nice experience of our meal. We ordered quite a variety of dishes with the expectation of fresh and quality fish. We ordered the hamachi kama to start and this was dry and not very flakey which hints that the cut of fish served to us was not very fresh. Next was the Paris Sashimi (16 pcs for $52) - for the price I expected better quality pieces of fish but this was also disappointing as the seaweed salad was the best tasting item on the plate. I am very sorry to say the rainbow roll was the most unappetizing rainbow roll I have ever seen... I expected something more colorful and slightly larger pieces of fish but it seemed to lean too heavily on the topiko topping for any sort of color. The imitation crab filling had too much mayo/cream cheese and completely overpowered the taste of the roll. This was our least favorite. I honestly couldn't believe this was an $18 roll We finished off with Salmon Skin Cucumber and Negihama handrolls. The salmon skin was tossed in an overly sweet marinade which completely took away the crispy texture of the salmon skin. Not enjoyable. The negihama hand roll was the best thing out of our entire meal and the only thing I ate that had no negative comments. Overall, I expected a better quality here, especially for the high prices that are charged for each dish. I really can not recommend this spot and will not be back.

First time here, service was great! We had the spicy edamame, tuna to start both were very good. Sushi rolls we had Suki and Lor both were very tasty! The restaurant was clean, designed really nice and it was a great experience overall. They do take reservations if needed.

I was surprised to see a new sushi restaurant at this location that was previously Koi. I was curious to try it because we enjoyed Koi very much, especially the happy hour. They have transformed the interior with cushion seats lining the wall. Modern decor, one private tatami room and it looks like they replace the furniture. Dim lightning with romantic vibe. A nice place to take your first date! :-) OYSTERS - It was fresh with a nice presentation. The sauce was good and nicely incorporated with the oyster. CAMILA ROLL with shrimp tempura, scallop, lemon inside, topped with salmon and mayo. I don't see lemon inside the roll that often. It was a refreshing experience. UNAGI AVOCADO was average. The rice wasn't packed tight enough as grains of rice was falling off before the piece could reach my mouth. IKURA was also average. Not the best I had but wasn't bad. PARIS SASHIMI (16 pcs.) Pieces were cut on the thinner side but fresh. I was expecting to have more side stuff like sunomono salad or a bit more seaweed salad. It would also be helpful for the waitress to announce each type of fish. I had an idea what they are but my friend didn't. Also, this came at least an hour after we sat down. At one point, I wonder if they forgot it because it wasn't that busy when we got there. The waitress did apologize and offered us another bottle of hot sake or took off the one we had. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. I think there is room for improvement. I hope to see that they will add special dishes or happy hour to the menu.

WHAT WE GOT: The Lor, The Phoenix, The triple trouble and pepperfin. The Lor was my favorite! they top it off with this garlic chili oil alongside the tempura jalapeño it just makes the best combo. It also has asparagus in it which made me tilt my head a little but it went so well with the roll. The Triple trouble has lemon on it and added a good balance with the other rolls, a good palate cleanser! The Phoenix was my next favorite, it had a hint of cream cheese with the crunchy garlic oil it and the fried leeks!! so yum. Looking to come back and try other rolls. The pepper fin was good, nothing spectacular. I like my pepperfin fatty. This had more of a bite to it. AMBIANCE/SERVICE: They replaced my old sushi spot but it didn't disappoint. Service was a little slow but attentive servers. Only two servers, one more would definitely help! The restaurant has a nice romantic vibe. Spent about $85 in total which wasn't horrible, always willing to pay for good quality fish.

Came here with my friend for dinner after driving by so many times. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful on the inside, lots of seating at the bar where the chefs prepare the food and there's tvs to watch sports (which we did for football Monday), booths, and tables too. It is a great spot for a date night or dinner with friends. The staff were super nice and friendly, the chefs were so great when it came to giving us recommendations and checking on how we were doing. We shared spicy edamame which has a decent level of spice from the chili powder they put. I ordered the Hinoka roll (recommended to me) and it was delicious! The food same quickly and was so good, will definitely be back to try more!

Naoki is officially the new IT spot for Japanese! The husband and I enjoyed Koi (the previous Japanese restaurant that was at this location) and were saddened when they closed. Luckily, Naoki has filled this location and are dare I say, even better! The family and I popped in here for the husband's birthday lunch (father-in-law made a reservation for 11am but they were empty until about noon, then it got busy). The interior is gorgeous! Freshly renovated, tasteful, and clean. We all ordered bento boxes and were stuffed by the end of our meals. Bento lunch comes with the typical miso soup, rice, and salad. My two items were the chicken katsu and mixed tempura. The bento was great and delicious. We loved it! Highly recommend! We'll be back!

The food here is sooo good but the service is so bad. Honestly one of the best sushi spots in sac but I've been here twice now and the service is horrible. They only had a few tables tonight and our waitress not once came up to us to ask how the food was or to refill our drinks. She came by at the end to drop the check off and didn't even offer us a box. I had to get up and go to the sushi bar to ask for one. I really hope they train the wait staff or hire better ones as this place could be amazing if they do.

Cuter inside than I expected. Service was quick, food was tasty, and there's a parking lot. What more can you ask for!

I stopped by for lunch and got a bento with tempura and teriyaki beef. It was tasty and a lot of food. The meal started witb miso, which was nice on a cold day. The tempura did have more batter then I would have liked, but it was very freshly fried. The steak was a decent portion and not overdone. Salad a tad over dressed for my liking but it was nice to have a fresh side.

We very much enjoyed our dinner there a few days ago. They did a nice job with the remodel that now includes a tv viewing bar area. Really though, it's about the food. We ordered the NY nigiri, tempura moriwase and chicken karaage. All were outstanding! Service was on par and we enjoyed watching the AI server bring out the beverages. A great Monday night!
