I always have a great time in Azayaka. Staff are friendly and provide prompt service. The sushi…read morechefs look a little stoic, but I think that adds to their unique atmosphere. 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.

Came here for dinner a couple of times, the first time I ordered the rainbow roll ($15) which is my barometer for sushi at restaurants. Decently sized, the fish was fresh and the roll was filling. Daughter ordered the ramen ($18) with the red option, which she enjoyed with the plethora of toppings. Dinner the second time, I got the teishoku set with salmon ($21). Two decently filets of salmon came with rice, miso soup, salad, deep fried egg roll and salad. You also get a choice of either croquette or chawanmushi. The chawanmushi was a highlight for me! I missed eating this savory custard when I used to live in Japan. Their version did not disappoint! This has spot has become a rotating staple for me and am looking forward to trying out more of their sushi rolls.

The first time, I visited with a GF friend and they really appreciated the GF menu. It feels like the restaurant put a lot of thought into the menu. The chicken karage was cripsy and juicy and very good. The spicy tuna roll was fresh and the rainbow roll is good. I got the tommy roll and it was the best thing I have even eaten, sushi-wise. It was hella expensive at $28 but the crab tasted fresh and it had so much flavor while not being overwhelming. The texture was also good, and each piece is very large but built to be broken down into 2 bites if needed without falling apart.

I started with Pan Fried Gyoza chicken and pork combo. Perfectly cooked thin with a crunch and flavorful. They almost melt in your mouth with flavor. my waiter stopped by several times to take my order and check on me. Inside has lots of seating and a lovely outdoor covered space that gives this place a really fun vibe. And light pop music playing in the background. I went next with a miso soup, ample size for a serving. I was prepared for a salty spoonful on my first spoonful, But I was surprised to have a nicely flavored soup with scallions and tofu. And not salty at all. I might have to grap a second bowl to go as it was so good. Next, I went with my server John's suggestions the Flaming Srooms, Tempura Mushrooms with crab mix cream cheese jalapeños, special sauce shaved Bonita flakes and green onions. They came out very hot and if you know Mushrooms never put one in your mouth right from the oven or fryer as you will burn your mouth. So I enjoyed the smell of it for a couple of minutes before biting into one. I did expect a larger mushroom bit the top was filled with imitation crab and cream cheese. smaller mushroom then I expected for sure. Almost like a mushroom crab ragoon, Mushroom lovers will like this. Next I went with the Spicy Johnny roll. the Tuna and the eel are the major flavors here with the sauces, not spicy for me but possibly for others. And finally ended with a simple Spicy Salmon roll. they add chillies powder and Sesame oil which is different then most east coast places I was sitting around enjoying my meal as they were getting close to closing. I was impressed on the details they took on cleaning the entire restaurant and even the walls. I would definitely come back when I am in town.

I've always loved Sukiyaki, it's kinda like Japanese Pho, but a better tasting broth. Trouble is,…read morehardly any Japanese restaurants serve it! I dunno why, I guess maybe not that popular with the local customers, like everything Teriyaki and Sushi and fried Tempura. Everybody has those, but no actual Sukiyaki! So I was happy to see Sukiyaki in the name of this restaurant and see it on the menu! I just wish it was closer to me in Red Bluff and not all the way down here in Sacramento. I was in the area, so I had a chance to stop in. I came with one other friend that was interested in trying the Sukiyaki as well. They offer sushi on the menu as well as all the more common Japanese dishes like Teriyaki. That's kinda like the sweet and sour of Chinese food, it's everywhere. Service was super friendly and I ordered the Beef Sukiyaki and my friend ordered the Chicken Sukiyaki. For sort of an appetizer we ordered some salmon sashimi. Tea to drink for us. The sashimi comes out first. Decent sized portion and the salmon was super tender melt in your mouth like it should be for sashimi. Then our big bowls arrive. My beef sukiyaki smelled wonderful. The chicken sukiyaki was good smelling too, but not as strong as the beef version. They both were super hot, so we needed to let them cool a little. Meanwhile I used my chopsticks and pulled out some of the beef. Blow to cool and tasted it. Wow, this was super good flavor and tender, not all chewy like it could be. The broth was seasoned just right, just the right sweetness and saltiness combined with tofu and veggies. The noodles were cooked just perfect. The chicken version, my friend liked a lot. She's not a big red meat eater like me, so it was good they offered a chicken version. The portions in the bowl were so big, we barely finished and were stuffed. I'll definitely come back here again if I'm in the area. This is way better than Vietnamese Pho that's for sure.

This wasn't marked as "hot" but it was very spicy and I had to wipe some of the siracha sauce off to eat it. The lemon slices on top were delicious. - Messi Roll: 5/5.

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.

I recently stopped by Arigato Sushi and had a pretty solid overall experience…read more The service was friendly and welcoming--our waiter was nice and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. That said, the food did take a bit longer than expected to come out, especially considering it wasn't very busy when we went. When the sushi finally arrived, though, it delivered. The rolls were flavorful and well-made, with a noticeable focus on sauces. They do tend to go heavier on the sauce, so if you like your sushi rich and packed with flavor, you'll probably enjoy it. If you prefer a more simple or traditional style, it might feel like a bit much. The overall vibe was pretty relaxed and low-key, which made it easy to sit and enjoy the meal without feeling rushed.

Arigato Sushi Review…read more Arigato Sushi had a mix of highs and lows during our visit. The tempura sushi roll had good flavor, but the texture and construction made it hard to enjoy fully. The roll tended to fall apart, and it was difficult to get a solid grip with chopsticks, which took away from the experience. On the positive side, the chicken teriyaki plate was amazing--great flavor, cooked perfectly, and easily the highlight of the meal. The quality of that dish really stood out. Overall, Arigato Sushi delivered some strong flavors, but the sushi roll could benefit from better structure and presentation to match the quality of the teriyaki.
