Ramen review: We…read moreordered the tonkatsu, spicy miso, and spicy beef ramen. All three had rich, flavorful broths with plenty of depth. The noodles had a nice texture, and the portions were satisfying. My only minor critique is that the broth could have been served a little hotter--it was warm but not piping hot. The chili oil used in the spicy miso ramen had peanuts-caution to those with peanut allergy. Other than that, everything was delicious, and I'd happily come back to try more of the menu.

Before tip, it's about $40/pp. You best believe we ordered a lot! Our server was kind, attentive, and efficient. She came over right away and took our drink and appetizer orders. I ordered about half of the listed appetizers. Favorites were the shrimp and veggie tempura and the shrimp fried rice. Miso soup served a good hot temperature with seaweed and tofu and not too salty. Good start with edamame and seaweed salad. We ordered most of the teriyaki proteins. Great char on the chicken and the beef was so tender. We asked for mixed sashimi plate. The presentation was disappointing (very plain) and so was the taste. Didn't look or taste the freshest. The hamachi and salmon yama were both nicely fried with crispy skin. Maybe a bit overdone, but was still good. The sea steak salad was very fresh, thinly cut, and had a kick. Another favorite! We also had their dim sum, the shrimp har gow being the best. Soft shell crab tasted like burnt oil. The fried banana for dessert would've been better but was over fried. I suggest ordering fried items early. Ice cream was Melona bars on a stick and our server said they also had mochi ice cream, not on the menu. Oh, and they were out of oysters. Overall, food was probably 3 stars but service was good and pretty fast with all the food coming out. Wishing AKAME good luck. That location is kinda hidden and next to a sketch hotel/apartment complex.

Went into to try this AYCE sushi. We were told they are in transition to become Akame Sushi which…read moreis one of our favorite places in Roseville so this is wonderful that this location will be closer to home. The sushi is all made to order so it saves less waste. There is a variety of items to choose from appetizers, salads, nigiri, sushi rolls with and without rice, fried rolls and hand rolls. They also have soup and so much more!! Victoria was our server and she was so patient as I had dinner w my Dad and teen son. The restaurant is ADA friendly with parking, flat ramp and she offered us a table with more space. We ended up eating quite a bit before I remembered to take pictures but I still got some. Some of our favorite items ordered during this visit was the Baked Lion King Roll, the King Kong Roll, Korean Short rib, grilled muscles and Holy Shrimp Roll. My son loved their fried banana and ube mochi desserts. Victoria was kind brought to bring him extras when he asked her politely. My dad and I loved the Melona Melon bar popsicle sticks. It literally tastes so refreshing on a hot day like eating the fruit off the stick! Their ambiance is very clean inside with plenty of space either at the sushi bar, booth or group tables. Dinner price ranges from $28-39 depending which AYCE tier you chose from. I've included pictures of their current menu. Subject to change when they get new ownership. But the place doesn't disappoint! We will be back soon. Thank you!!

Teriyaki Station at BP is one of those local spots that keeps people coming back because the food…read moreis simple, comforting, and consistently good. Not fancy, not trying to be trendy... just home-style food prepared with care and ready when hunger hits. The teriyaki chicken bowl was delicious with a savory sauce that wasn't overly heavy or too sweet, but honestly the standout for me was the Filipino food menu. The lechon, chicken adobo, and pancit really make this place feel extra special and local. The food has that comforting homemade feeling that reminds you why smaller family style spots are usually the hidden gems. And of course... I couldn't leave without getting the halo-halo. I went with the avocado version because honestly... green dessert for the green T-Rex just made sense. Instant happiness. This is the kind of place that may not look fancy on the outside, but the food brings that comforting home-cooked feeling that keeps people loyal. Rex tip: Perfect stop before or after shopping at the outlets when you want something filling without a long sit-down wait. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

After hearing about Teriyaki Station ATBP, I knew I had to take my Mom and sister here to try them out. While they have the classics, such as adobo, lumpia and pansit, I was pleasantly surprised to see some not so common menu items such as kare kare, crispy pata, and silog meals (served up until 3PM). I was hoping to try their kare kare, as it's one of my favorite Filipino dishes but sadly it's only offered on Fridays and Saturdays. We went ahead and ordered a pork adobo ricebowl, tapsilog, lumpia, sago't gulaman, and lechon kawali. Everything we ordered was tasty and came out hot and quick. We particularly liked the flavor and tenderness of the pork adobo and the lumpia was very crispy. I also love that they have a vinegar dispenser on the side for all your sawsawan needs which goes great with the meat dishes. Will definitely be back to try more dishes, especially their kare kare and dessert options.

Disclaimer: My reviews are intended to provide an honest account of both the positives and…read morenegatives of my overall experience at a restaurant, not just my personal food preferences. Taste is subjective, and what one person finds delicious, another may not. However, there are certain universal aspects of dining, such as customer service, cleanliness, communication, and overall hospitality, that every restaurant should strive to deliver. My reviews reflect the complete experience, not just what's on the plate. We decided to try Hasu Teriyaki & Sushi in Folsom for the first time and brought the kids along. Unfortunately, the experience got off to a rough start. When we walked in, there were several open tables, but no one greeted us or explained whether we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. A female employee saw us but didn't provide any direction, so we picked a table ourselves. After waiting for a bit with no acknowledgment, I had to get up and grab menus on my own. We spent about eight minutes deciding what to order (never easy with kids), but still no one came by. After another several minutes, I finally walked the few feet to the register and asked, "Are we supposed to order here or at the table?" The response was simply, "Yes, order here." After placing my order, I was immediately prompted to add a tip before receiving any service, which is something I personally find frustrating. Then I grabbed our cups to fill our drinks myself, only to find the ice machine was out of ice. At that point, it felt like we were striking out on every opportunity for a good first impression. It appears there's only one employee handling both the register and the dining area, which may explain some of the confusion. If that's the system, it would really help to have a sign letting customers know to seat themselves and order at the counter. There are only about seven tables inside, but without any guidance, the dining experience is confusing for first-time visitors. Once the food arrived, it was presented nicely. I ordered the Rainbow Roll and Dragon Roll, and visually they looked great. Unfortunately, I found the flavors to be underwhelming. The sushi was very mild, and even the wasabi had almost no heat. I added far more wasabi than I normally would, yet it barely had any kick. For someone who really enjoys sushi, the overall flavor just didn't stand out. The kids' non-raw rolls were also just average. To her credit, the employee did check on us twice after the food arrived, and she was friendly. I think she recognized that I was frustrated after spending roughly 15 minutes in the restaurant without any acknowledgment or explanation of how ordering worked. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible, but it wasn't one that makes me eager to return. Between the confusing service, lackluster first impression, and sushi that was simply average, I'd probably look elsewhere next time.

Upon walking into this restaurant, we were promptly greeted. A nicely decorated restaurant with Japanese paintings and artwork of Japanese Shogun figures etc. They also have Polaroids of their guests over the years.

Served with clear soup, salad, shrimp appetizer, Hibachi vegetables, and steamed rice. But we replaced it with fried rice instead. My ribeye was a bit overdone as I ordered it medium rare.

Of note, we visited Japan earlier this year, so eating here reminded us of all the good food we'd had in Japan and brought back memories of so many amazing restaurants! First, since it is in the outdoor mall, parking is not an issue. When we entered, the staff was quick, courteous and seated us immediately. You have the options of table seating, picnic table style seating or counter seating but no views. We were seated at the picnic style table. We ordered the Asahi draft, premium sake flight (kikusui, yaegaki mu, demon slayer), kara-miso ramen and a pork katsu don. The service was the quickest we have had in a while! They also have an offer running right now - 50% off draft beers with the ramen/rice bowls/katsu sets. While each of the sake glasses (300 ml) was priced at $20-25, the premium flight was $14 and I got to taste the 3 top junmais they had - junmai, junmai ginjo, junmai daiginjo. That is an unbeatable deal because I'm pretty sure it came to 1.5 glasses of sake in total for 60% of the price. Food-wise, both portions were large and absolutely top notch! The donburi was mild and the katsu was made perfectly - light, crispy, pork shining through. The kara-miso ramen is their spicy option and it was definitely spicy! The noodles were great, as was the pork and the eggs in it. We couldn't finish everything so took some home. Pricing wise, it is reasonable - we paid $71 for everything and had the time of our foodie lives. The staff is so friendly! All in all, we were so happy to have found this place and will definitely come back to eat more :)

We had to circle the parking lot and wait for someone to leave. Parking spaces are also very small. We came on Friday night around 5pm and it was about a 15 minute wait for a table of two. They text you when your table is ready. Didn't really like that the tables are seated so close to each other. We could hear the whole conversation of the table next to us. It's also loud and couldn't hold a conversation so I wouldn't come here for a date night. We were told sushi rolls were a 30 minute wait but it didn't take that long. Sushi rolls were yummy as usual! We normally frequent the Elk Grove location and will likely stick to that one just because it's easier parking and never crazy loud inside.

This location follows the usual Mikuni decor and upbeat vibe. Seems like this location is very popular and is always busy. I some people stop here on their way to Tahoe if they are driving for a long distance. This time, we ordered a bunch of sushi for a birthday event at home. They have several different platter options and you can add on additional sets of nigiri. Came with a whole sealed container of soy sauce, a large portion of ginger and a VAT of wasabi (it was an extreme amount). We also ordered some simple Udons for the kids. It was a hit!

Most people are barely getting off at 5pm. The options and quality of the happy hour bites seems bare minimal when it comes to quality of ingredients in the dishes. Smaller portions and skimpy cuts of fish. Also you have to hunt down the drinks menu for Happy Hour because it's scattered in the back of the main menu. The server had no idea if there was a special for drinks. The rolls offered in the happy hour menu lacks flavor and is very basic. It is a pass on these. Also pass on the ahi tuna lettuce wraps. Too mushy and fishy.
