    Tried this sushi spot recently The food was honestly amazing , super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every roll we tried hit the mark, and you can tell they really care about quality. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the food. It was slow and a bit inattentive, which took away from the overall experience. That's why 3 stars, the server always forgot to bring things we asked for . It was busy so I understand but instead of apologizing her response was always I didn't hear that rudely . When she clearly heard and acknowledged the request . Ambiance is nice , small sushi spot ! I'd still come back for the sushi alone, but hoping the service improves next time!

    It has been several years since I updated my review and I can at least say that the food is still decent, the quality is consistent, and the service has slightly improved. The restaurant layout has remained the same with its amber lights illuminating over everyone, but their popularity has increased over time, mainly due to their affordable sushi prices and large portions. When conversing with friends, family, or coworkers visiting the area and asking for a good sushi spot, many will tell you, "Sushi Hook." But why, I wondered? They're not the fanciest, the food quality is good but not excellent, the service isn't memorable. But after visiting here on and off for so long, it has just became a sushi staple in town. This is the place to go to for large groups because the sushi is affordable, the atmosphere is welcoming, and there is a huge variety of rolls to choose from. Not only rolls, but appetizers, entrees, drinks, etc. Their menu has expanded since years ago, and is accommodating to the general public for the entire family. Whether you like sushi or not, you'll find at least one item on the menu you would like. For my bougie taste buds that I've developed from trying so many restaurants, it's not quite my preference when I'm craving sushi, but from a nostalgic perspective, I would actually recommend Sushi Hook as a welcoming place for heartwarming sushi. I've moved out of Sacramento about 2 months ago, and still have yet to come across a sushi gem that brings people together with affordable dining. Give Sushi Hook a try, and you might warm up to it too like the rest of Sac residents.

    I went here on a Tuesday evening and there were people inside but it wasn't crazy busy or anything. The service could be better, but the food makes up for it. They offer a wide variety of options on the menu. The rolls are especially impressive as they offer huge portions at a great price compared to other places. Overall, it's a solid spot, and I'd definitely come back.

    WHAT WE GOT: 12 piece sashimi and Island roll, The sashimi was fine, cuts were all over the place and the salmon was a little too fishy tasting for my liking. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. It was fine but not the best. Island roll was sweet, i could hardly taste the lemon on it. Rolls are very thick so it was harder to eat. SERVICE/AMBIANCE: Service was nice, kind servers. Nothing to note. 3/5 stars, We know we're coming in for lower end sushi so can't complain!

    Back at our favorite sushi place!!! This place never disappoints. The service is always friendly. The price are reasonable and you get your food quickly. The restaurant is clean . They have all you can eat sushi Monday thru Friday 11-3pm. Ray ( our favorite employee) surprised us with two sushi taco samples. It's something new they are doing. And let me tell you, it was AMAZING. The taco shell is made out of seaweed and is super crunchy ( 10/10) Definitely recommend sushi hook

    Even ordering to go their rolls are super loaded, fresh, and affordable! Probably one of my all time favorite places in the Sacramento area. The island roll has been my all time favorite along with the golden dragon. Highly recommend coming here.

    Im sad to say that my recent visit wasn't as pleasant as it usually is. The service was still great. The host was kind and helpful. But, I ordered the "seared" tuna.. and I got fully cooked, cold, definitely pre made tuna.. not freshly seared. And I ordered the cucumber split, which honestly did taste fresh and wonderful. But I just can't get past that tuna.. see pics please..

    Sushi roll combo with teriyaki chicken!!! FTW!

    I appreciate SH so much! Super bang for your buck. And beer special M-F, $2.99/4.99. Awesome. I love the spicy avacado roll and miso soup. This pic is of the $17.99 combo which is huge!!! I got Cali roll as roll option and teriyaki chicken dish. So much food for such a great price. Also, the best part is...the wait staff is so kind and friendly. I love this place. Just beware, Sac State students frequent here, so go at a good time or prepare for a wait. I'm off work at 5 and take advantage of going in asap M-F for beer special and either a roll/miso soup r the combo $17.99 which is a steal.

    Came here for to go order and here for the first time. Lunch menu is limited and the front desk server was rude and unaccommodating when asked if there was a gluten free menu. She immediately said "no everything in here has gluten". Very UNACCOMODATING and UNWELCOMING. Ordered the standard chicken teriyaki bento box (no sauce) which I was told would take 20 minutes. Another staff (possibly the chef himself) but not the front desk lady, came out to drop off my order. The chicken was ok; nothing to rave about. Sadly, I could not try the glutinous items like California roll, egg roll and potstickers. So this makes for an experience lunch! The dark ambiance in this place adds to an unwelcoming vibe. Will not be returning...

    Most mid sushi. Similar to Arigato down the street. Good intro to sushi. Long over due for this review. Their most popular roll is crack cocaine but it's like 2.5 roll in one. 3 bite from one piece. Never had an issue with service here and it's a chill atmosphere.

    Solid vegetarian rolls, but you'll want to place online and phone in orders at least 45 minutes ahead of time. I placed an order 15 minutes before leaving to pick it up, and it wasn't ready even though there were only three tables seated with only two people at each table. The deep friend vegetarian rolls are really good. They also have an all you can eat option, but I can't vouch for it cause I haven't had a chance to enjoy it yet.

    Sushi Hook is very good you guys! I have only been here a few times and absolutely loved my latest experience in the summer of 2025! There are weekday specials such as Sapporo draft, and Sapporo Black and appetizer dishes. Like most places, specials do not include holidays so please keep that in mind. There's plenty of parking in the lot near the surrounding businesses. The bathrooms are clean. The servers are helpful and kind. I was pleasantly surprised to get the bill to see that it was not terribly priced especially with the amount of food we got. I had to get edamame, miso soup, inari and some rolls. I enjoyed ALL OF IT.

    One of my favorite spots in my college years. Delicious food. Very affordable. Nearby. Stopped by since I was craving a dynamite roll. Food - dynamite was good as always. Love the light crunch. Crunch monkey was okay. The -2 is due to the service. When I first arrived it was sorta full. But then as I waited then sat down. And took time to read the menu. The restaurant was only half full. The server completely disappeared after giving me water and asking if I needed time. Was like I was forgotten. Another staff came by and noticed me trying to wave. The staff took my order. Server delivered food and then disappeared again. Never came back to refill water or check in. I did eventually flag down the server and say I was ready for the check. They took my card first. And then brought the check with my card. This was odd. Typically they bring the check. Then collect my card. Food was good. Service was just bizarre.

    Ask the Community - Sushi Hook

    Do they have any rolls made with-/or/ the option to replace white rice with- BROWN RICE?

    I'm not sure if they offer brown rice. Never seen any sushi made with brown rice before though. But you can try requesting it via special instructions to see if it'll get approved.

    What's in the crack cocaine roll, is there anything on top?

    Are you guys currently offering dine in?

    No just take out

    Does this place still do buy one, get one free rolls?

    Not when I was there during lunch.

    What's the best sushi place by lincoln?

    Nope! Pay per roll, but it's 50% off.

    Do they offer rice free sushi rolls? Maybe with cucumber or soy paper wrap?

    They only have a few. But one is my absolute favorite roll there, the Johnny Roll. 12/10 would recommend, it's delish!

    Does anyone know if they are opening soon?

    Tomorrow!!! 04/30/2018

    Any updates on a grand reopening?

    Open now

    When are they gonna reopen?? one of my favorite sushi places

    Tomorrow! 04/30/2018!

    Any word on when they'll open back up?

    No. Fire clean up takes a long time. Hopefully by summer time. I miss them, and there arent many sushi places in town with their " specials"

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.

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.
