    Specials of the Plaza as of 3-27-26.

    Their food is ALWAYS amazing! The service is quick and plenty of seating if wanting to dine in. 11/10.

    Salads, Soups & Sides

    Foods always good, customer service is great. Very clean inside. Good prices and good size portions!

    3 item bento box--we chose beef teriyaki, tonkatsu, and eggrolls. Comes with a side of rice and salad!
    Emily M.

    This mom and pop shop has been opened since 1985 and I can see how they've managed to stay open for so long. It's located in a business plaza which is highly convenient for those who work in the area. The restaurant is run by a very sweet, hardworking Mongolian couple who've managed to wow my gf and I the last two times we've been here. The first time we came, we ordered the 3 item bento box special with beef teriyaki, tonkatsu, and eggrolls. It comes with rice and salad too. We also ordered the (I think this was the name) orange blossom roll. Absolutely everything was delicious and we were pleasantly surprised! The tonkatsu was juicy and tender unlike most other places I've tried before. The beef teriyaki was also tender, cooked to perfection. The sauces they had for both the teriyaki and the tonkatsu was soooo gooood. The eggrolls were also pretty good, nice crunch to it, but I don't remember it wow-ing me. The salad was fresh, my only nitpick is that I wish they used thousand island dressing instead of ranch. Now the orange blossom roll was a blessing because they gave us really thick cuts of salmon on top. I mean they were not stingy with it at all. From the salmon itself to the avocado and the masago, everything came together so well. And you wouldn't think that sushi from a random business plaza joint would be good but trust me, this was delicious. Definitely going back to try other rolls. Now for our second visit, we decided to try their breakfast and were also pleasantly surprised. My gf and I both ordered the stacked pancakes that comes with pancakes, eggs, your choice of ham, bacon, or sausage (we went with sausage), and their home potatoes. Please believe me when I tell you this was one of the most satisfying breakfasts I've had in my entire life. You can just tell that everything was made with love, cheesy as it sounds, it's true. The pancakes had that perfect, fluffy consistency, and was a good amount of buttery. Their sausage patties were delicious and a good portion size to go with their home potatoes, which were equally yummy. They're soft and fluffy with the potato skin still on, yum. I had also ordered a coffee which wasn't anything too special, but it's coffee from a mom and pop so I won't discount them for that. All in all, this seems like a pretty solid place to have either breakfast or lunch at. It's a shame they're not open for dinner cuz I wouldn't mind grabbing a bite to eat here after 4pm, but definitely worth it to try most items they have on their menu. They seem like they can do it all.

    Half container of chili oil

    The only reason this place is getting a star is because the food is actually not bad. I am however highly disappointed over the service and cost. I have stopped coming to plaza Cafe for a few months because of Roses bad attitude and practices of the establishment charging $.23 for Togo box. This charge should be included in the overhead cost of running a business. However back to the main point bad service. Today I gave it another try, I knew I would be charged extra for the items I ordered (lemon and chili oil). However Rose was trying to give me less sauce and still charging me $.23 for it. I then confronted her and she then added more to the sauce but still did not fill it. Point is if you're going to find ways to charge customers extra fill up the container you're charging them for.

    Menu as of 10.24.2022

    So close to my work, will def go here again when I forget to bring food. Portions were large, food was good. I got: Breakfast burrito, $8- huge, had eggs, bell peppers, cheese, onions, rice. Overall yum, filling and worth $8. Breakfast food available until 1130! Bento ($13) with teriyaki salmon, spicy chicken. Spicy chk was mild (aka I can tolerate it and Im a spice wimp). Salmon had good flavor and texture. Came w rice, salad, miso soup. Overall great value! Overall pleased w this place! Lots of selections too.

    $9.99 Chicken Ramen
    Chris M.

    5 stars. For the price of the food which is really cheap this place is good. Quality food. 4 stars won ton soup. Broth was good. Won tons were above average. For $6.99 this is a good deal. 5 star chicken ramen. Lots of noodles. Lots of ingredients. Big chunks of chicken. For $9.99 this is good.

    National Potato Salad
    Enkhee T.

    This is a small business that services the local businesses with a variety of different foods from ramen, sushi, pho, to classic sandwiches and breakfast foods.. all the meals come in hearty portions. Little did you know there is a secret menu for Mongolian Food here. The only place in Sacramento that serves authentic Mongolian food. No, not Mongolian Bbq nor Mongolian beef. You can order Tsuivan-Fried Noodle Dish with Beef and Veggies Buuz-steamed Mongolian Soup Dumplings Khuushuur. There are two types. Naadam Style and Homemade style. Favorites of Mongolians when eating out is Naadam Style. They also serve National Potato Salad and cabbage and carrot salad. Try it out! Very kind service.

    The Yelp reviews were great, as were recs by some of my coworkers, so a colleague and I opted for lunch here. The menu is very broad. Like extremely. Very international. My colleague opted for a bento box and enjoyed it. I was on the fence - burger, pastrami sando, bento box, pho, etc... I went with sushi. Don't know what I was thinking. A few bites in I knew I couldn't finish it. Something was off. Later that afternoon I suffered for my poor life choices. Needless to say - never going back.

    Sushi rolls $5 or so and mushroom swiss burger $6.29!
    Vince Y.

    I stopped here 30 minutes before closing on a weekday to get a quick grab for din din. I got the mushroom swiss burger and my daughter picked 2 spicy tuna rolls for herself and mom. It was made while I waited. 10-15 minutes. I took it home to consume. My burger was of average size. The meat was definitely of the frozen patty variety. Not great. $6.29. My other 2 said their spicy tuna rolls were average. Not very good but decent. $5.50 each. Pricing is good. Quality is in the middle. Mom and pop cafe. They only open M-F 6:30am-5pm for mostly the working class breakfast and lunch. They have a pho I may drop by to try out. The menu is vast with coffee, sandos, burgers, breakfast plates, pho, etc. They are located down a tad from the corner of Del Paso Rd. and Northgate Blvd.

I walked inside having no idea that it was going to be a top quality experience. The restaurant was huge and it was packed at 5 PM. We couldn't get a table so we sat at the sushi bar, and there was plenty of room there. Plus watching all of the chefs put together the Omakase offerings was really cool. We opted for the Japanese cauliflower curried soup, the black cod special, the king Roll, the watermelon and mint salad and the shrimp and corn dumpling. Every single dish was FIRE!!! The flavors were delicate and nuanced and perfectly balanced. Even the frisée lettuce on the watermelon and mint salad was a flavor explosion. We found ourselves drinking the sauce out of the bowl from the shrimp and corn dumpling. The croutons in the curried cauliflower soup were crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside. The black cod was the texture of a scallop and the squash purée set it off just right. The king Roll was a marvel to see and absolutely a delight to eat. I loved that little hint of lemon that accented the crab and lobster flavors. 1000% recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys really damn good food. Craziest part of the meal was the cost, it was incredibly reasonably priced, not overpriced, like most restaurants of this caliber. We will definitely be back. Thank you Kru for making my special occasion even more special!
