    Veggie tempura, edamame, sake, Oregon roll, salmon nigiri
    Mason B.

    This spot is such a gem! Been coming for years and it never disappoints. Fresh, fast, delicious food paired with friendly service. Love it!

    Everything is absolutely delicious and intentionally crafted. The Studio Ghibli music was the cherry on top!

    Haven't been back in a while. Service was prompt and friendly. Prices have doubled and portions are smaller. Fish is fresh. Ordered Salmon Kama, forever roll, Ika salad (spicy), toro sashimi, and unagi nigiri.

    Salmon Tataki. Spicy!

    Staying in a small town like Auburn, CA, I am surprised to find a top notch Sushi restaurant here! The small and modest seating area belies the really great food. Started off with the Salmon Tataki (thin slices of Salmon) and it is absolutely delicious! It's got jalapeños and is generally spicy, so i decided to skip adding any Wasabi. Next came the main dish - a Super Rainbow roll with Shrimp tempura. Ingredients are amazingly fresh - the shrimp tempura in particular tasted like they prepared it from scratch with live shrimp. Everything is just amazing, and I'm tempted to make a second visit on my way back to San Francisco. A real gem - can't recommend this enough!

    Love this hidden gem! I first discovered it because a friend and I went to a popular place down on Lincoln Street and found that the wait was going to be nearly an hour! We decided we didn't want to wait that long so searched for something else and this is where we ended up. So glad fate brought us here! Since that initial visit, we've been back a few times... pleased with the service and dishes each time. My sister joined us on our most recent visit - she and her family go to Mikuni 95% of the time, but she was very happy with the food here and said she'd likely be back as well. The atmosphere here is about as opposite as you can get - where Mikuni is generally very busy and "loud", Sakura is small and chill... yet the food is still great. We started off with a Goyza Plate as an appetizer... the "plate" added a few interesting things to the usual deep fried pot stickers - there was some green salad, sticky rice and an orange - all with great presentation. We then went with three rolls - the Arizona Roll, Sakura Roll and Godzilla Roll. All were great - and large rolls! The Arizona Roll was the spiciest and my sister decided it was a little bit too much for her so she stayed with the other two. While we were getting close to finishing, the waitress surprised us with another small dish - a salmon appetizer. It's always nice to be surprised like this! I'm not even sure if the dish was normally on the menu, but WOW - it was some of the tastiest salmon I've ever had! So buttery and tender, it just melted in our mouths! We all loved it! Much appreciated! I'll definitely keep this place in mind whenever I'm in the area and wanting sushi. Highly recommended!

    Gave this place a try for the first time. There are now 5 Sushi options in Auburn, so one would think this would drive competition and make things better. Unfortunately Sakura is not in the running. We got 4 rolls to go and the bill was $54 before tip. When he handed me the bag I was already a little worried because it was pretty light. When we got home we opened up some very pretty rolls, but it was clear we would be supplementing our meal. I'm not sure how he rolled them so tiny. We "dug in" and they were good, but compared to the other options in town they were bottom 2. Everything did seem fresh, and that's a big deal, and presentation was nice for to-go. Fair amount of wasabi and ginger. Favorite out of the 4 was the 49er. If we try it again I think we will eat in and see if he can look us in the face when they deliver the rolls. But again l, with so many options it will be a while before I spend that much to retest them out.

    Best sushi! Fresh and very tasty. You pay more, but definitely worth it. We won't be going down the hill anymore!

    The food is always fresh and tasty! Service is also very pleasant. The chef uses fresh wasabi, and awesome sauces on some dishes.

    Happy Mother's Day!!…read more Today for Mother's Day, we decided to celebrate with my neighbor and have the best sushi in town here at Jinme. Jinme is consistent. Delicious every single time... so tonight, we celebrated with my daughter. We sat right away and how gorgeous was it tonight!? Balloons, streamers, and Mother's Day table cloths. After a little bit, our server came over and we ordered sunomono and vegetable tempura. Their vegetable tempura was a mixture of the vegetables, in one. Like a birds nest. It came with 4 pieces and a dipping sauce. It was different, but very good. The sunomono (cucumber salad) was cut in half into thin slices without the seeds, and the dressing on it was delicate and went so good with the cucumbers. Quite a bit of time had passed and we were given some complimentary spring rolls to snack on. The sauce it came with was a little spicy & sweet. We ordered a Simba roll, Auburn City roll, 49ers Roll, the Ultimate Roll, and salmon sashimi. All looked fantastic! The sashimi came with miso (as an appetizer). We will ended up sharing everything with each other. I really like that baked salmon roll (Simba). It has a sweet mayo on top. The Salmon Sashimi is my favorite bc the salmon on top is made with high quality salmon belly. The freshness makes me crave this often. The 49ers roll was delicious. It was different from your regular sushi rolls with rice in the outside. it had an entire cucumber casing on the outside of it. The Auburn Roll has thick pieces of red rings and salmon throughout... what a dream... Lastly, we ordered moochi ice cream and deep fried strawberry ice cream... both were out of this world!! This was the first time I have ordered dessert here and it was phenomenal! Strawberry just gets me! Our service was great! The decorations were a cute touch, too. Jinme went above and beyond to make us feel special on Mother's Day!

    Wife goes to book club. I get to go where I want to eat. I pick Jinme…read more I don't need the menu. I know...Spicy Ramen, for Nigiri...Sake, Hamachi and Uni. That'll work. I got the free spring roll immediately. 30-40 minutes later nothing. Just water. This is on Friday at 1715 HRS before the evening rush.

    OMG this place is so legit. We stopped on our way home for lunch on a Friday and it was packed. I…read moreknew that there is probably a lot of turnover so I waited patiently for a parking spot to open and I'm so glad I did. It's mostly a market but we came for the food. It's really busy and hectic but they are very efficient and we found plenty of available seating to enjoy our food. I got the tasty bacon burger and my husband the TRI-Tip sandwich. We loved both. They put some kind of delicious spice blend on the burger that made it so so delish! and the sandwich was super generous with a side of au-jus. It's not fancy but it hit the spot for a quick road trip spot. We didn't browse too much around the store but there were tons of people shopping and buying their award winning pies. Wish we lived closer! Highly recommended.

    BURGERS ARE ONLY A 3 MARION-BERRY PIE 5!!!!!!!…read moreChicken Pot Pie 4 Beef Pot Pie 3 Key Lime Pie 3 Chocolate Truffle Pie 3. Definitely 5 Stars for the berry pie!!! We tried a variety of burgers and thought they were just OK but not worth the crowds and 30 minute wait. Chicken pot pies are very good but the beef has some odd seasoning/spice that didn't work for us. The chocolate truffle pie was way too sweet and the key lime was just OK (not enough lime flavor). Definitely want to try more fruit pies as that is the way to go (makes total sense at a fruit stand). The homemade dips and spreads they offer in the market are also all delish (samples are available too). Bottom line.... we will grab our berry pie/s, maybe a chicken pot pie, definitely a dip or 2 + some market items but we'll skip the burger/restaurant crowds for now (but fyi their prices are good). Loved it so much more when it was a not so crowded local fave but good for the Ikeda family. Congrats!!

    We've eaten at Izumi many times over several years & I felt it was time to share a review…read more Generally bento boxes are our favorites with the occasional bowl of udon; for me the vegetable udon is just delicious. Service here is excellent; never have we had to wait wondering if someone will take our order as he is always there when the menus close. The food is timely & always very good. We have tried several other Japanese restaurants in the area but Izumi remains our favorite. I just have one ask for the owner and that is to make a portion of agedashi tofu available for the bento box menu.

    We were happened in the area last summer and kiddo wanted some sushi. We arrived during lunch time…read moreon Saturday and were seated immediately. Our kiddo wanted to sit at the bar facing the river with boats. The weekend special was very affordable: 3 rolls for $33. The rolls were big and the fish slices were thick. - California Roll: good flavor but I preferred to have thinner rice layer. - 5 Star Roll: delicious. The sashimi pieces weren't fishy and the shrimp tempura was crispy. The sauce was good - not too much. - Dragon Roll: my favorite. The unagi and shrimp tempura are my favorite combo in a roll. The sauce was just enough & not overwhelming. - Pork Katsu don: The pork katsu was tender and the sauce was good. The portion was quite generous even hubby said that he was stuffed.
