This used to be one of my Go to places when I'm in Sacramento , but my has the quality changed. The vibe alone here will bore you dark gloomy and freezing and completely quiet absolutely no communication between you and the server. The waitresses are there to basically point you to a seat and bring you your food. Half the reason the service is terrible is because the lack of communication you order the items online then place the order, the other reason I feel like the quality isn't the same is because of the workers who are actually making the food, we ordered the Baja California roll, the Ana roll and the Golden dragon , any roll that had shrimp tempura in it was a waste because the shrimp was over cooked and hard. One of the rolls I ordered the Golden Dragon was suppose to be topped with lemon and no fish eggs . When I tried to notify the waitress she told me "well the lemon slices are inside the roll"(like this isn't the roll I order all the time ) I had to then flip the roll to its side open it and show her there are no lemon slices on top of them adding fish eggs on top for nothing cause this roll doesn't even come with fish eggs I had to politely tell her that I'm going off your menu which doesn't include the fish eggs and the menu description says topped with lemon, overall very disappointed in what this place has turned Into . I will not be coming back for a while and I would not recommend this place as of right now. read more

Sushi Hook is a good solid sushi restaurant in the area. It's a great place to come and try different roll creations for HALF OFF! They have a large menu with pictures so that kind of helps if you don't know what you want. Or it can confuse you since everything appears similar in the picture. Other pro is you get FULL SIZE rolls at a reasonable price, however with the amount of sauces and small amount of actual seafood (shrimp and softshell crap) in my roll made me tired of my roll real quick. We normally always get the crack cocaine roll (it's not on the menu) but it taste good. It is just smoother in a lot of sauce and I got tired of eating it after 2 pieces this time. The dinner bento box we got was $16 and the largest compartment in the bento box was filled with salad. Shouldn't the large compartment be the protein? Weather that is chicken or salmon, it was salmon in our case. Everything in the bento box was made well but seems overpriced. They do give you a free cabbage salad and check in on yelp to receive a FREE edamame. Service was fine but I do feel it's more quantity of sushi roll over quality here. read more

I've been here numerous times when I'm invited out with friends. I'm not really a fan of sushi but i do like a select few rolls. This time i got the crunchy monkey and it was pretty good just a bit difficult to eat since they wrap their rolls pretty big. I would prefer if it was more bite sized and easier to eat. I also love getting the 99cent sake bombs which you can never go wrong with! -@nitda.eat.it read more

I love this place!!!! The food is amazing, price is surprisingly affordable and the service is outstanding. My new sushi spot hands down. My favorite go to sushi roll is The Double Crunch Roll. Thank me later. read more

This place has really gone down.... First time coming here since it reopened and it's not that great as it used to be when I used to come here often during college. Celebrated my cousins birthday here and we ordered at least 8 rolls. There was only like 1-2 rolls that really stood out and was actually pretty good. The rest of them were all pretty similar to be honest. All had like the same ingredients and tastes similar. Nothing special. Service here is ok.... kinda slow...There was a huge lint in one of our rolls. They gladly took it back and brought us a new one. We brought cake to have there but we were so over it and just wanted to get the heck out and decided to just have the cake at home. Definitely won't be here again any time soon! read more

Sushi Hook - Huge lint - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place was definitely on point! My curry was large for about $12, I didn't expect it to be that big. Most of the menu offers 50% off rolls, which seems to be almost standard in the sushi industry right now, but some of these rolls were like $18-20 each, so I wouldn't rush in just for the 50% off price tag as it's usually marked up quite a bit when there is a discount like this. You're still going to pay close to $10 per roll unless you get something really basic. I tried the Alaska roll and despite saying it came with masago, I didn't taste any sauce on it at all. Our server also didn't seem to speak much English as he only said half the names of the sushi roll, so we had no idea whose sushi was being delivered each time. The dessert was probably the best part. They offer these red bean pastries alongside a scoop of green tea ice cream. They were definitely a bit hit! read more

This place used to be my go to when I got Sushi. When I visited today, the quality of the rolls seemed to have gone down drastically, they fell apart easily and our baked roll wasn't hot when it arrived at the table. Disappointing to see the drop in quality. read more

I'm really fond of this sushi place; it's my favorite sushi restaurant in Sacramento. I've been here many times, and it's perfect for special events and dates. All sushi rolls are half off which makes the prices very reasonable. I expect to pay around $7 to $10 per roll. My favorite ones are the crunch monkey roll and the alligator roll. I just ate the sexy girl roll today and that one was good too. I don't like the mexican roll. It's too spicy for me and there was only six pieces of sushi, really tiny next to other rolls that were the same price. I almost thought someone ate part of my roll. Parking is easy and plentiful. read more

Sushi Hook - Island roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

Yesterday May 18 I ordered a candy cane roll no spicy, and sauce on the side. I overheard the waitress tell the chef that the roll was supposed to be made no spicy. This note was written when I ordered. He obviously did not care and it was clear she was trying to tell him but again, didn't care. So they brought it out and I told them again I requested no spicy. Let me tell you the reason I requested no spicy, it's because I do not like whatever they add to the imitation crab it's some kind of sriracha that I'm not a fan of but I love everything else about it esp the other sauce I requested on the side. It's not because I can't handle spicy it's the FLAVOR. I throw Thai chillis back and bite them straight off the stem, I'm SE Asian. When I sent it back the ENTIRE chef staff were rudely talking about it and me passive aggressively for SEVERAL minutes I was sitting NEXT to them. They purposely made the roll incorrect, refused to listen to the waitress when she was telling them it was wrong, and then passively aggressively talked about the whole thing while I was sitting there right next to them it was awkward as f***. Oh and they also corrected the roll by bringing out a whole different roll that didn't look anything like that candy cane roll and was stuffed insanely with imitation crab idk if they were being passive about it or what but yeah it was not good I literally had to leave most of it behind because it was quite overwhelming. Worst encounter ever and it made me feel like a shitty customer when in fact I wasn't I literally asked for this at the beginning and the waitress tried to tell them too but they just chose not to listen I guess. I heard it all. Also, this was my anniversary dinner I had with my bf. So yeah that ruined my mood for what was supposed to be a good meal. We used to go here often but I won't be returning because of how unprofessional theses chefs were. It was giving.. bullies. read more

It's pretty much always busy here but the food quality shows. The rolls are made well but during peak hours or near closing quality may not be 100% consistent. I had large thick cuts of pepper fin which I usually find in other places cut thinner, slightly over season led so the spice was overwhelming by the end of the plate. Again their quality is highly consistent with the occasional hiccup depending on time, business and what time you get that needs prep read more

Underrated but bomb sushi place to go in Sacramento. I tried this place years ago when a friend told me about it and it's still here for a reason! Good tasting and fresh sushi. read more

I'm kind of tired of my own judgmental intuition. Any restaurants less than 4 stars don't even get clicked on. Especially while I'm on the go. But, I'm happy I came in, very clean modern interior, EXCELLENT customer service, HUGE 3 item bento box (really, you can share with one other person). Knock one star for the cherry blossom roll not being really wrapped with tuna, about 50% of rice surface area covered. Service and interior is awesome. Americanized sushi is standard. read more

They have the worst Covid policy of any restaurant I've been to. Only one person is allowed in the lobby at a time, and that's for everyone. You can be in a line with 10 people, some have already ordered and some haven't, and you're going to be waiting. Haven't ordered yet? You'll be waiting. Have ordered, but need to pay? You'll be waiting. Have ordered, paid, and just need to pick up? You'll be waiting. And if the line is long, you can be waiting quite a while. The whole point of ordering for pickup is to speed the process along, but they make seem to make no attempts at that at all. They could learn a lesson from another sushi place not too far. That restaurant was not allowing people in the lobby, but they had multiple employees collecting payments and bringing out people's food. Much faster, much more streamlined. read more

I'm pretty disappointed honestly. I remember coming here a few times and loving this place and today did not hit. I ordered a few rolls, a sashimi plate and a chicken udon plate. The sashimi plate and sushi rolls had huge cuts of fish, like 1/4 size of your palm. The flavor was okay but such thick cuts of fish like that just weren't enjoyable. The udon plate had a few noodles compared to how much carrots were in it. I asked the waitress why the pieces of fish were so big, I was told it's because there's a new sushi chef. Oh well. read more

If only yelp let me add no stars to this.. NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN. I gotta say, this sushi place used to be my favorite til I experienced this evening. I decided to order something new today so I ordered a "spicy scallop" which in the menu there was sauce and etc on top but when my waitress brought it to us, it was plain straight up with nothing on top. We asked for a refund and our waitress said that unfortunately they couldn't take it off because they already made it. False advertising on their sushi rolls & on top of that they didn't want to give our money back. HIGHLY recommend to NEVER follow the pictures on their menu!! That's how they get you. Another problem was after we complained about our sushi roll our waitress lied and said that their manager wasn't there today. We caught her lying because we asked another worker if we could speak to the manager and he said that he was i the office. Terrible, I swear. Anyway, after all that had happened our waitress never came back to check up on us. Terrible customer service. Highly recommend to NOT come here. After we spoke to the manager about the situation, he had a lot of attitude and was very disrespectful to us. If this business continues to run like this, this place should stay BURNED DOWN. read more

We had a family dinner here recently. I had no idea that the rolls were half off all day everyday. Didn't know until it was time to pay the bill. It was a nice surprise for me. Everyone else knew. That's when I was like "damn, i should have just ordered rolls, instead of the Shishimi. I haven't lived in Sacramento for about 5 years now. It sure has changed. I'm trying very hard to remember the names of all the different rolls we ordered. This will be a challenge, so just check out my photos. I thought the Kimchi Fried Rice was fantastic. I'm usually not a big fan of Spam, but it worked well for this dish. That egg on top was a big plus too. The chicken wings were really good too. The half off rolls deal is great. You can get really full and walk out without maxing out your credit card. lol. This place is trendy and definitely draws a younger crowd. They were consistently busy, even on a weekday. I'd totally come back on my future visits to Sacramento. Our server was very friendly and attentive too. She was busy waiting on a bunch of tables, but did a great job. The shopping center parking lot is quite large. I don't think you'll have issues finding parking here, especially in the evenings. read more

Tried the daily special bento box and was very disappointed. The chicken teriyaki is made with dark meat. It was not very tasty. Crab stuffed mushroom was just gross and California roll was pretty much a crab mixture roll (see photo). Severely disappointed. I remember it being better before the fire. Oh and they ask if they can charge you .15 cents for a plastic bag to take your to go order. Really?!?!? I said no and carried all the boxes on my own. Either don't charge for a bag or build it into your price. Don't ask the customer, it just pisses us off. Best part of the meal was sadly the rice. Threw out pretty much everything else. Won't be going back. read more

Bf and I were in the mood for sushi and was about to go to Arigato, but thanks to other Yelp reviews mentioning this place has 50% off rolls too, we decided to try this place. I didn't see a sign anywhere or a note in the menu mentioning 50% off rolls, and since it was our first time there, I decided to confirm with the waiter. So yes, rolls here are 50% off at all times. This could be advertised better. Maybe I missed it? First off, check in for free edamame! So since rolls were so cheap, bf and I decided to order 7 rolls. Yes 7 LOL. We had the Orange Blossom, Crazy Horse, Cucumber Split, Samurai, Candy Cane, Golden Dragon, and River Cat, which according to our waiter, was the best set of the rolls menu. He asked if we came often, but we said it was our first time hehe. They give complimentary cabbage/cucumber salad in a wasabi rice vinegar dressing. Our salad had some ice particles in it.. Hmm.. ? But a breakdown of some of the rolls: Cucumber Split is a no-rice roll - it is crab salad and salmon served on halved cucumber slices in a sweet (slightly) creamy sauce. It was very refreshing!! If you are leaning towards non deep fried rolls in the "Rolls" menu, the ones I mentioned above (except Golden Dragon) are a good set. Golden Dragon was the heaviest of the rolls because of the creamy sauce and deep fried shrimp, but I wanted to try it because I'm a sucker for seared/torched fish and this roll includes torched salmon. Candy Cane has soft shell crab which is deep fried, but it didn't feel very heavy. It had a nice tangy sauce. It was our waiter's recommendation, and mine and bf's favorite roll of the night. If you like seared like I do, try the River Cat! It has seared tuna. All rolls were so delicious! They def don't skimp on the protein. Each roll had good size chunks of fish that melted in my mouth. If you want to compare this place to Arigato, another 50% off rolls place that is down the street, I would say Sushi Hook has bigger portions and fresher fish. Our waiter was surprised we finished all 7 rolls, but tbh my bf carried the team haha. Our waiter was so nice and attentive. He even made a bit of conversation with us, saying how my bf put in work with the rolls.. Lol.. He also came to refill our ginger even without us asking, and promptly took the empty dishes off our table. I'd say the only con to Sushi Hook is their rolls have a little more rice than I'd like. It's not AYCE, so it's not too big of a deal. But a good proportion of rice to fish would be nice. The rice is prob why their rolls look so massive. I don't think I would venture too far into the other stuff in the menu because they're steeper and the rolls are more worth the price. But overall 4.5/5 would come back again! read more

I don't understand what's going on with sushi restaurants today, but I decided to order from here because Ninja Sushi wasn't honoring the special listed on their site. Placed an order, got there and the confirmation said the food wouldn't be ready for 30 minutes. Okay, still went in to check on it, and glad I did as the food was ready... It would have been sitting out for 30 minutes if I didn't go in?!? Plus I asked about the soup that came with the bento box... "No soup for you"! But seriously, the site and receipt said it came with soup. I asked if they could substitute anything, but they said no. That and I found a spider! I usually don't tip unless I dine in, being served and cleaned up after and all, but with everything that's going on I still gave a 20% tip... If I knew what I do now, that wouldn't be the case Outside of the pandemic this place is amazing... Free tasty salad, soup actually comes with the bento box as well as a spring roll (wasn't advertised so I couldn't ask about it), and unlike ninja sushi, I'm not forced to buy a drink to get half off sushi (whereas ninja sushi it's only BOGO... So if you want an odd number of sushi, you're screwed). read more

Horrible horrible horrible!!! My first time trying this place and my food was delivered not within the 45 minutes it said. It took 2 hours for me to receive my food not only completely cold ( my tempura, gyoza, salmon, chicken, bbq tuna) they were soggy and uneatable. None of my food came with the sauces it was suppose to come with and all the Avocado on the sushi whether it was on top or inside was completely brown. And you think my kids are going to eat this like this? $84 later and they told me there's nothing they can do for me. SMH. I'll never eat here again. Customer service needs improvement ASAP! read more

A long while back, this restaurant closed down due to a fire. They were closed for about a couple years I believe. I am actually glad they reopened and redesigned the interior of the restaurant. I wouldn't say this is the best sushi restaurant, but the bang for your buck is pretty decent. This was my go to for a while because the sushi pieces were gigantic depending on what roll you selected. Hopefully they stay open. read more

Tonight was my first time back since they reopened. Before they closed, they were pretty much my go-to spot when I wanted cheap sushi. The place is still fairly small, but it looks a lot better. It's hip and new looking, however they've managed to open it up more to add more seating. It's a Sunday night and it was poppin. When we arrived we checked in with a host who said the wait would be 5-10 mins; no biggie! And, it indeed did take 5 mins. When we were seated, we were greeted by our waitress immediately who took our drink orders then she left us with our menus. The menu didn't change much from what I remembered. They added a couple new affordable specials which was a great addition (dinner special and the wing and beer deal). Once our waitress delievered our drinks, we were ready to order. We ended up ordering the following: -dinner special (1 roll, chicken with rice) -beef udon soup -crunch monkey When we were ordering, it didn't seem like much, but we were wrong. The dinner special alone had pretty good portions and the udon soup was in a medium size bowl. And, Just so we're clear, I'm not complaining. It was more of a "holy shit" moment. Haha Anyways, my friend was very happy with her dinner special and I was extremely happy with my soup and crunch monkey. The udon soup was so hot and full of nomnoms. It was exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, I didn't finish my sushi roll, but it's all good because now I have lunch for tomorrow. Honestly, I'm happy they're open again. Food was great, service was awesome, and I'm digging the new look. I will be back soon as I'm sure I'll be craving sushi (or wings) in the near future. Thanks for the great meal, Sushi Hook and welcome back read more

Sooo to start off I'm usually not a huge raver on sushi but of course when you're in relationship yah gotta do what your partner likes lol so we went to this sushi place he's been really wanting to go to kill his "sushi craving" I was a little apprehensive. We had a small wait no biggie! And when i started reading the pricings of the sushi I was like omg so expensive lol and then my BF told me that all the sushi places do their sushi half off and I was like why? He said idk they just do. I ordered two rolls and he ordered two too! And I really wish I can remember all the rolls we ordered. One was the dynamite, crunch monkey, red dragon, spicy California crunch. Oh whoops I guess I did remember all the rolls. Honestly, my fav was the spicy California crunch. It was so crunchy and I really liked the texture. The only negative thing about sushi is that it can come out pretty pricy. Call me cheap and all but when the bill came to $30 I was like woaaaah. Thank god for my BF. Lmao jkjk y'all. All in all I left very satisfied and happy and I do see myself coming back here to eat :) read more

Sushi Hook - Mussels appetizer. af. Do NOT order! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

Food is good but the customer service is so sooooo bad that it got me to not come here anymore

Incredibly Inexpensive, But Delicious Sushi & Refreshing Sake Stop in Arden SITREP Sushi Hook just blew me away! Like a Buccaneer Dreadnaught of Yore, she lined up her cannons and shot delicious sushi at me! Our party of eight (8) gathered here last night for a special event hosted by Yelper A.T. who threw a fairly G-Rate Bachelor Party for Yelper Christopher B., that was nonetheless TOTAL YUM for this mixed-gender soiree! THE SETUP I'll say right off that I'm a BIG FAN of sushi buffets, like Umeko on Folsom, Fuji's in Elk Grove, a couple more in Natomas, etc. etc. I love being able to sample a roll rather than rolling the dice, ordering one, and losing. However, not all my friends like sushi buffets, and many prefer the elegance of establishments such as Kru, Oishii, or Mikunis, to name just three, that offer them made-on-the-spot sushi rolls. I'll say right now that Sushi Hook has become my favorite of these kind of latter sushi establishments. LOGISTICS Sushi Hook is located right smack in the middle of the Howe Ave drag between Arden on the North end and Fair Oaks on the South end - and suffice it to say, as part of a strip mall of other Asian cuisines (there's a Ramen house just next door) it's NOT in the most easy access part of town. And apparently they know that. Which is why they have exceptional Saturday night deals. ;) Plenty of room inside too, with lots of space and lots of tables and boothing areas that can be configured to accommodate any size party comfortably up to 16 from the looks of last night. SUSHI DEALS ON SAT All sushi rolls on the designated "Sushi Roll" pages (excepting hand rolls) are 1/2 half. That's right, HALF OFF! Which is why for a mere $20 I was able to stuff myself on great sushi. BUT FIRST, REFRESHMENT! What good is it being in a sushi establishment if you can't indulge a passion for Sake?!? And the sake here was outstanding since it was the Sho Chiku Bai Nigori Unfiltered Sake -Silky Mild. $11. And totally worth it. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-hook-sacramento?select=mgR51BAka3sT7ojrifqhKg#1LMc-RmtEyTf5Qn8rlCa0w OUR SUSHI CHOICES We got a bunch of sushi rolls, of which the ones A.T. and I ordered for the group included (meaning, which I could get pictures of before people started launching into them - non-yelpers really don't understand us yelpers passion of taking pictures of our food before starting to eat it): * The Golden Dragon - - rich, creamy & crunchy - real crab meat, deep-fried shrimp, avocado, cream cheese and a delicious cream golden sauce, 9 large pieces with the end pieces hosting almost entire shrimp. Normally $18, only $9 Sat. tonight. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-hook-sacramento?select=mgR51BAka3sT7ojrifqhKg#oeHM5OLawBTxvyCN4XRBaA * The Rattle Snake - very savory - eel, crab meat, avocado (and I think cilantro garnish - great! whatever it was), 9 large pieces. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-hook-sacramento?select=mgR51BAka3sT7ojrifqhKg#OVER8cM318AX0meAMKQPDg * The Dynamite - Very spicy eel and a spicy cream cheese sauce; and the *Spicy Tuna - very spicy tuna - lit my mouth on fire it was so so good - here they both are together: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-hook-sacramento?select=mgR51BAka3sT7ojrifqhKg#hOBrNAvOQ4PCa1Ifzl9jng We also got a few smaller rolls - the shitake mushroom, the broccoli, and the asparagus - these are normally $7 but tonight were only $3.50 each, 6 pieces each. Totally forgot to take pictures of them since they were like appetizers that came out first. THE SUSHI BAR Although we sat in a beautiful booth & table area for a large group, they have an exceptional sushi bar where individuals and couples can chat and watch the sushi chefs at work. I want to bring a date back on a Sat. night here since when I came up here to observe there was playful banter between the customers and the customers with the chefs - count em, FIVE (5) of them! All looking very mixed, a couple with ball caps, a couple with Japanese bandanas on their heads, and one with a derby hat. I am KICKING myself for not getting a picture of THAT! Next time! OH. And though I didn't get it this time, next time I am going to pop for the fried ice cream extravaganza! Take a look at some of the pictures of the other customers, complete with little umbrella sticking out of the mound. Too precious. :D THE LOWDOWN My new favorite sushi place that is both beautiful, extremely economical (especially on a Sat night) with lots of fantastic sushi and sake choices.

My boyfriend and I had finally completed the UYE bike riding event that he arranged for our Yelp friends as another gesture in keeping the close camaraderie that have often made the Sacramento Yelpers stand out, while using Yelp as a tool for continuous social gatherings in between Elite events: http://www.yelp.com/events/sacramento-uye-slow-spring-bicycle-ride-2-sushi-style However, this effort disappointingly failed, as everyone backed out or "no showed"..... On the bright side, Joe K. and I still ventured the American River Bike trail together and concluded the long, scenic trip with a late lunch at Sushi Hook, which is highly recommended by one of our Yelp friends - Kevin P. After our visit, I was surprised to read several disappointing reviews, but fortunately for us, we did not experience any poor food or service. In fact, we had superb tasting sushi rolls that were so delicious, we talked about when we would be returning again to try out more! When I first walked into this restaurant, I was quite impressed at how much eye pleasing detail they put into their décor. It was beautifully decorated and the lighting was lowered just enough to a romantic hue. There were 3 flat screen TV's placed at 3 sides of the room and soft rock back ground music at just the right level so as not to drown out conversation. We received polite service with a smile from all staff members and fresh, delicious food. When I checked in on the Yelp app, I also got a free appetizer of Edamame, which I eagerly took advantage of! I have some draw backs to mix into this review. We were told that all sushi rolls were 50% off! Was it Happy Hour? Was it because it was Sunday? Well, it looks to me, that the menu shows the rolls at full price, so you think you are getting a deal. But when I read other reviews and looked at the restaurant web site, this seemed to be a way of making patrons think they just received a bargain, when in actuality, you are paying regular price anyway. That being said, the "half off" prices that you think you are getting are still a good deal, so don't let this advertising ploy deter you! The very extensive, beautifully illustrated menu, had so many great options that once again for me, made choosing so difficult. But we finally narrowed it down to a couple of vegetarian rolls and one with seafood in it: The Asparagus Roll - originally $7.00 was now $3.50, the Veggie Dragon Roll - originally $12.50 now $6.25, and the Anna Roll - originally $17.00 was now $8.50. Like I previously mentioned, they really hit the spot on all levels! Even before the main course, we were served a light shredded cabbage salad with only a slight amount of dressing mixed in. It seemed a bit dry as salads go, but it was complimentary and definitely didn't spoil my appetite. My boyfriend also ordered some Sashimi on the side, but was disappointed in the little amount that was given for the money spent - 3 small slices for $5.00. So there you have it! Mostly good, with a few not so bad issues. Satisfactory service with some great tasting sushi is good enough for me! Sushi Hook, you some how got me "hooked"! read more

This is a good spot to go to if you are broke, or if you have a ton of patience. The quality of the rolls are dependent on the number of people in the restaurant. More people = lower quality. It's kind of hit or miss during daytime, but its almost always crowded at night. What bugs me is the incredibly slow service and the rudeness of the manager/owner. I once came in to order to-go. I went to the cash register as instructed. The old Asian dude, I'm sure is the owner, was working it. He was ringing up some bills and looked up at me without acknowledging me. I said to myself, OK, ill let him finish ringing up this check and I'll speak up. He continued to ignore me. I then said "Excuse me, I'd like to place an order to go please". He looked up and said "OK few more minute". I waited till he cleared two more checks and again said "Excuse me, can I place an order to go?" Again he gave me the same response. Uhm dafuq?! I'm a customer willing to pay for your business and you can't set aside 1 minute for a to-go order? I waited damn near 5 minutes two feet in front of him, watching him be an idiot. I just told him "F*#% that then, you just lost my business" and left. It's hard for me to wanna support a business that has crap leadership with zero customer service skills. It reflects upon everything inside that spot. Good luck finishing your food and getting the bill within 20 mins. And once you put your card/cash on the bill, good luck getting that picked up within another 20 mins. read more

Not bad, won't be a favorite as we don't live nearby. Our rolls were good, the sauces were ok. The Jalapeño appetizer was pretty good. I did like that extra lemon was added to my roll. Worth checking out. They were VERY busy, but our waiter was VERY FRIENDLY & EFFICIENT! read more

I haven't been to Sushi Hook in a while. My last visit was at their old location. They're still located in the same plaza but acquired a larger space across the way. The vibe is much more "hip" now rather than the homey feeling of their old location. We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated right away. Their menu is large so it can take a while to browse through, but It contains plenty of pictures and descriptions to make it easy to make a choice. I ordered the poke roll, sake maki and my fiance had the hamachi collar with a beer. We got all that for about $27! Pretty good deal. The rolls were pretty good but there's just something about the rice that I didn't quite enjoy. It almost felt like there was too much rice on the rolls and the seasoning of the rice felt like it was missing something. But for what you pay for each roll, you can't really complain I guess. The rolls were of a decent size and a lot bigger than Arigatos' rolls I feel like (it's been a while since I've been back there too.) I had a bit of the hamachi collar and it was delicious! It was cooked just right and the skin was crispy. The dipping sauce was a bit too citric for my liking though. Sushi Hook seems to attract a lot of the Sac State students since it's so close in proximity. They offer $0.99 cent sake bombs at night during the weekends starting either Thursday or Friday. You can definitely find a lot of college students here at night getting their drink and sushi on! read more

Check in for a free bowl of edamame! FOOD - Sushimi Salad: assorted raw fish and mixed greens. Huge salad. The fish was okay.3/5 - Veggie Dragon: deep fried eggplant and asparagus, avocado, and cucumber, topped with sweet sauce. Good but I need fish. 3/5 - Anna Roll: deep fried shrimp, cream cheese, albacore, and avocado, topped with smoked salmon, a sweet, creamy sauce, masago, green onions, and sesame seeds. Crunchy and sweet, with the perfect amount of cream cheese. 4/5 - Red Dragon Roll: deep fried shrimp and cucumbers, topped with spicy tuna, sweet and spicy sauce, masago, green onions, and sesame seeds. Sweet & crunchy. It could have been a lot spicier. 4/5 SERVICE I was not greeted or acknowledged at the door. It took a several minutes before our waiter came to take our order after bringing us our beverages. The staff were not friendly or attentive. It even took awhile for us to get our bill after tagging our waiter down. 2.5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS The food is good for it's cost. I would come back. Hopefully they'll have better service the next time around. I probably came by on an off day. read more

Decided to hit this place up after the movies one night. I wanted it to be off the hook, (lol) but it was good. Dassit. It was nothing to write home about. I can see it's appeal being so close to the theaters and sac state. I tried several rolls and the gyoza. Maybe I should give it another try, but ohh that's now I'm not rushing back to Sushi Hook. read more

Sushi Hook - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

Prices are half off rolls--dine in or to go, however regular prices on some of them are like $18-22 range (ex: titanic, tiger).. That's a bit steep for a roll of sushi, so I don't know if its a markup to make you think you actually get half off. Just a thought. Came here with the siblings and the nephew because they were craving for sushi. I've been here before and I remembered I liked the kimchi udon. I ordered that with a couple rolls to share. The sisters ordered a few rolls--alligator and spider and the special (includes house roll, rice, chicken teriyaki, 2 egg rolls, and slices of orange). The nephew ordered the Pepperfin. The Pepperfin was sliced very thick which didn't look appealing. The rolls--it was like the rice was overcooked or it had too much sauce because it was soggy. The rolls would fall apart before I it landed in my mouth. It's a bit disappointing. The price wasn't bad with the "half off" but I've had better quality sushi. I won't return for awhile. read more

Just lost my business. They have the online ordering for to go orders, fine. I order all my stuff. The same stuff I always order. Literally. Then they send you the text number to confirm. Verified that. Wait practically an hour, finally go in, NO ORDER! "Oh, that's another restaurant code"- WHAT? So some mystery restaurant sends me a code when I just got finished ordering from you? Very strange! It's bad enough that they screw to go orders over by making them after dine-in orders and it's usually an hour wait, but this is complete BS. And instead of offering to hustle and prep my stuff (which wasn't some crazy roll action- literally some sashimi), they're just "whatever". We'll, you can "whatever" my business out your door. read more

/: Ordered a decent amount of sushi tonight for family as it was a special occasion. Candy cane tasted horribly fishy. Lambada rolls (which have a lot of avocado) were browning. Been coming here since I was in my early teens with family, now old enough to go and get it whenever I want. Love sushi hook but really disappointing this time. Possibly will affect any future intentions to have sushi here. And before anyone says anything about 'Well you ate some already' we had family members pick at it and try it. Also prior to this, all servers are really kind about taking my orders however the one I was otp with this time had a very fake happy tone. Could be wrong, could be because I ordered a few rolls- but doesn't excuse the tone given after I barely list out what I want to order. Again, still love Sushi Hook but tonight was probably the worst experience. Happy New Years though. Two Day update.. Haven't felt well since that night. Still sad my go-to sushi place is the cause of it. read more

Sushi Hook and Arigato both do 50% off sushi. The sushi rolls here are pricier but they are also bigger. The service here is friendlier as well. Even so, I prefer Arigato. Before each meal they provide a complimentary cabbage cucumber salad that is sprinkled with sesame seeds. It is not something I will pay for. Most recently I've tried their Webster roll (deep fried shrimp, crab meat, cucumber, avocado, white tuna, sauces). The deep fried shrimp was big and crispy but the white tuna was a bit thin. Besides sushi I've also tried their kimchi fried rice. It isn't too spicy and contains chunks of spam w/ an egg on top. I enjoy sitting in the back patio in the evening, even though the view is of the parking lot. read more

The food here is best described as bleehhhhh! I've been here twice now and can say I will not be returning. For 50% off sushi, I would much rather go to Arigato down the street. The sushi here has so much rice and the fish doesn't taste fresh. The sauces aren't good and leave a weird after taste in your mouth. The bento boxes take forever to come out and the food isn't even hot. How does that happen?! My pet peeve is when everyone's food doesn't come out at once. Two of us got sushi and had to wait for the two bento boxes to come out. They're overpriced as well. Service isn't amazing either. The last time our waiter spilled the tempura sauce into the salad and he didn't even offer to replace it. Mm nothing like WARM SALTY SALAD. The only good thing is that you get free edamame with check in. read more

To be completely honest, at first I didn't like Sushi Hook at all. But they definitely grew on me and now it's one of my favorite places to go to. The service usually isn't the best here, but we recently received great service from our male server! (i feel so bad for not remembering his name) I usually order a chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki and tempura bento box. They only give one shrimp tempura which is kind of disappointing - but it's okay. I also order the crunchy monkey roll! Their sushi is half off which is perfect for the college student budget since it is close to Sac State. They are also great at hosting fundraisers! I have attended multiple fundraisers here for different organizations on campus. They usually give 20% of the proceeds with a flyer to the organization. read more
