We decided to try one of their premium, crowd-pleasing options: the Elk Grove Roll. Yes, it is a $28 roll, but it is absolutely massive. We also ordered a Large Sashimi, a Sake Sashimi and a Touch Roll. Our bill was $140 for three people. While the fish itself is incredibly fresh, the Elk Grove Roll is loaded with savory sauces, shrimp tempura, and seared BBQ albacore. Because it is heavily dressed and features cooked elements on top, it is not recommended for strict raw-fish lovers who are looking for that clean, purist sashimi experience. It's built for indulgence, not subtlety. The Ambience vs. The Price Tag. The first thing you'll notice upon walking in is that the interior design is very simple. It's clean and functional, but it lacks the upscale, immersive atmosphere you might expect when looking at the menu. With most specialty rolls pushing near the $20 mark, the decor doesn't quite match the premium, high-end price range of the food. Where they don't skimp, however, is the hospitality. The service here is excellent--attentive, polite, and prompt. When the food arrives, it's clear that the sushi chefs take immense pride in their craft. The presentation is beautiful, and the quality and quantity of the ingredients are undeniably good. You definitely get a substantial amount of food for what you pay. read more

Maybe my expectations are too high. I'm from the bay and my experiences with Omakase in the bay has been great. Good prices and big fresh pieces of nigiri is what I'm use to. Now at Sushi Q, I ordered the 9 piece nigiri chef choice and a torch roll. The 9 piece chef choice is a big let down. Not only are the pieces not very fresh, they didn't even give me real Wasabi for my nigiri, instead huge slabs of horse radish. Go see the pictures for yourself, compare to what I'm use to in the bay (10 piece chef choice with real Wasabi). The torch roll is just OK. read more

the interior of this restaurant is very nice; cozy with warm ambient lighting and lively music that is at an appropriate volume. we ordered quite a bit for our first time, we got the salmon truffle sashimi, the big papa, the bob marley, and the chicken teriyaki plate. the salmon truffle sashimi's plating was gorgeous, but it felt like the flavor was very heavy on the truffle. the salad they put on the plate is definitely required with each bite, it helps cut down the flavor of the sauce. the salmon itself was delicious, fresh, and buttery. the big papa was good, but it was on the sweeter side of a roll, it was filled with crab mix and the roll itself is sitting on a bed of crab mix, so it was a lot. the texture of the roll was nice, crunchy on the outside with the soft crab mix inside. the bob marley was subtle in flavor and clean, i wish i could taste the shrimp tempura more in the roll but the overall taste was good. the standout dish to me was definitely the chicken teriyaki plate. the salad it came with was delicious, just a spring mix with a sesame dressing but the dressing was addictive. the chicken itself had a deep smoky flavor, the char on it was amazing, it tasted like it was cooked on a charcoal grill. the service was also quite good, we got seated immediately and the waiters were very attentive and kind. overall i would come back but maybe for a special occasion as it's quite pricy. read more

The only thing I would knock a star off for is the price the quality ratio. The quality here is very good, but compared to other spots in downtown or elsewhere, it doesn't justify the high price point of nearly $20 a roll. We ordered to-go because I was craving "good" sushi and it was super satisfying. The staff are attentive and polite and my order was available and provided to me quickly. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and bright. I like that vibe compared to dark and modern sushi places. The rolls were awesome! We ordered the Bond and the Torch - both were awesome! Very well constructed, good balance of flavors, not too saucy, and good amount of ingredients. The fish quality was not the best ever, but definitely on the higher end. read more

Came here on a Thursday night with about eight friends. Since we arrived around 7:30 PM, the restaurant wasn't too busy, and our group was already seated when we got there. Our server, Maybel, was incredibly attentive and friendly--we were sad to learn it was her last day. We ordered a variety of dishes (honestly, I can't remember half their names), so I'll comment on the ones I do remember! We asked for the chef's special and mentioned that we typically enjoy salmon and lemon in our sushi, and he definitely had fun with it. Just a heads up: chef specials run about $25 per roll, but in my opinion, they're worth it. We also ordered the salmon truffle carpaccio, which was fantastic. The salmon was fresh and buttery, and the sauce complemented it perfectly. As for the special rolls, one came wrapped in soy paper with microgreens, salmon, lemon, and roe. The other had salmon, guacamole, and lemon. Both were delicious and came with more pieces than a standard roll. I wish I knew their names, but since they were chef creations, they didn't have any. Everything tasted fresh and paired amazingly well with our lemon drop sake bombs. Overall, I'd highly recommend this spot to friends and family. read more

Sushi Q roll was ok, good rice texture, not mushy rice. Could use more seasoning though, a little plain. The 9 piece chef's choice nigiri was beautiful and delicious! Loved it! He really took his time in slicing each piece perfectly! Great job! Clean, cool spot, easy parking. Server was friendly and talkative as we chatted about their 2020 grand opening fiasco. Glad they made it through that challenging time for everybody and are still holding strong, 5 years later! read more

I enjoyed my experience here very much. Service was attentive and quick. The food was well presented, high quality, and delicious. This might be my new go-to sushi spot. Let me just point out how impressive the scallop presentation was! Not only were the scallops super soft and tasty but the whole presentation and acoutremonde that it came with really made it amazing. I ordered a couple of rolls too. They were good sized and well made. I ordered the sushiQ roll and the Calvin roll. Both were good but I think i preferred the Calvin roll. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. read more

My current sushi go-to spot. For many years, I never veered from Mikuni's (not including Kru), but after my friends asked to meet for Sushi Q, I haven't looked back. I have my go to dishes, the chicken katsu, or the Torch roll, but I like a variety of other menu items. Their food always tastes fresh, and I haven't had anything I didn't like. I will say the service is more on the slow side. Leisurely, if you will. It's not bad, but just keep that in mind when you dine in. Also, it tends to be on the pricey side, but I think that's just our current economy. Even though I feel like this, I keep coming back and dining in and ordering take out. So, it's not really an issue. And I know it's a hot personal take, but the serve Pepsi products and I LOVE it! I honestly wouldn't come with a group larger than six, maybe eight. They have a decent amount of table seating, but it's not a lot due to the space of the restaurant. They also have a bar area, which is great if you want to engage with the sushi chefs. Sometimes you drive out of your way for special restaurants! read more

My first time visiting Sushi Q for lunch, and the food was very good, and authentic. I had the Lunch Box (bento box) with chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura for my two choices. The chicken teriyaki was delicious, charged perfectly and the sauce was rich and the right thickness for the best flavor. The shrimp tempura was nice and crunchy and a good size. The salad was generous and very fresh, and a nice scoop of rice. The roll in the picture was shared from my friend's box and not a part of my order, but to try, and that was good too. It took quite awhile before we got our meals but that could be because we were one of the first to arrive when they opened at 11:30 and there were several tables waiting for their orders already. It was worth the wait. The lunch was about $18 before tax and tip, but compared to other places I've tried, this is the best so far. The service was great as well! read more

This review is long overdue. We've been going to Sushi Q for over three years, and without fail, every single time we try sushi somewhere else -- even out of state or out of the country -- we always end up saying the same thing: "It doesn't compare to Sushi Q." The quality of the fish is consistently outstanding. Fresh, clean, and expertly prepared every single visit. Once you've had sushi here, it honestly ruins most other sushi places for you -- in the best way possible. The service is always kind and welcoming. When they're busy (which they often are for good reason), we happily wait because it's 100% worth the time and patience. There's never a rush, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers and their craft. We will always support this business. Selfishly, we like to keep Sushi Q to ourselves -- but the truth is, there are so many people who don't actually know what good sushi is until they try Sushi Q. If you're on the fence or wondering if it's worth it, it absolutely is. Once you go here, you'll be comparing every other sushi place to it -- and most won't measure up :) read more

It was really hard finding a Sushi restaurant open during lunchtime. So glad Sushi Q serves lunch. I noticed Asians eating lunch and Asians behind the Sushi Bar. IYKYK. We ordered 3 rolls, spicy edamame and a side of Veggie tempura. The Elk Grove Roll was really good, very generous pieces of Albacore on top of the rolls. The Uncle J Roll was amazing, our favorite roll! The Calvine Roll was really good too. All rolls had a perfect amount of rice, not too much, which I prefer. The Veggie tempura was yummy and plentiful. The Spicy Edamame was also good. Can't wait to revisit and try different items on the menu. read more

Sushi here is always great quality, and they have lots of unique flavor combinations! My favorites are the "Sushi Q" and "Calvine". The restaurant itself is really clean and organized, although it can be a bit small when it does get busy. Service was fine, our server took a minute to get to us, but it seemed like he was the only one on the floor, so he was working hard attending to his tables. Overall, sushi q is definitely the go-to place for a more affordable but delicious spot! read more

Fresh fish, I would come back for nigiri or a sashimi plate or something but this place is pricey for sure.

Quality of the seafood is very decent and on the higher end of Japanese sushi resturaunts in the area. Price is a bit on the higher side though. The flavors of the rolls were very decent as well but the quantity of the rice to ingredients in each roll is the largest I've seen from any othe resturaunts so not sure if it's teething pains or just how they make it. Biggest improvement they can make is expectations. I called in at noon to get a pickup and was quoted 35-45 minutes. I arrived and went in to check on the status at 1240 and the staff informed me that they were still making it. I didn't get my food til around 110. Room for improvement overall but definitely a good add to the read more

Really great service and good food. My son said the waitresses were pretty too. lol but our waiter was really good.

I wish I could give Sushi Q 6 stars. The servers, chefs, and food were all fantastic. Since I couldn't decide on what to eat I told the server to have the chefs make me their favorite rolls. I believe Elgin and Nate made all 5 of the rolls we ordered. Each roll was a flavor bomb. Everything was absolutely delicious. I think I've found my new favorite sushi restaurant. read more

Came here twice this week and ordered chirashi both times.

This is a solid sushi roll place! We ordered the dragon and skittles roll to-go. Service was great. Our food was ready for pick up in 20 mins.

Kinda wanted to keep this place on the down low, but they deserve to be known. My family and friends told me to come here and after a couple months finally made time. Came around a thursday night about 6pm. Sat in the corner near the entrance. Service was excellent and server got us our drinks promptly. We came with our stomachs empty. So we ordered a lot. Spent a good amount money, the quality of fish and quantity is so worth it. Definitly a fan and coming back to try other things when im in the area. read more

Our friends wanted us to try this location. We asked them for their opinion such they dined there already. But they didn't want to influence this Yelpers opinion. So here we go. First Impressions: We were greeted with stares from the Sushi chefs..No hello, no welcome, just some serious stares. Given the fact the entire dining room only had one table of patrons. I don't think they were too pre occupied to welcome us...but no...just some death stares. The ambience is modern m, not what you would find in a traditional Japanese restaurant and they play hip hop music in the background. I asked our wait staff her recommendation for either grilled saba or their unagi donburi. She recommended the grilled saba. We ordered: 1) grilled saba 2) plate of chicken katsu 3) plate of chicken teriyaki w/sauce on the side. All entrees arrived with a spring mix salad with a light sweet dressing and bowls of miso soup that contained mushrooms and tofu. Both were nice. 1) grilled saba: the saba arrived grilled and a little dry. Generally Saba is an oily fish (mackerel) so it shouldn't have been so dry...hmmm and the amount of saba also seemed frugal for $24. But if it had arrived not so dry, i would have forgiven the meager size of saba on my plate 2) Katsu chicken $22: there was an abundant amount of chicken. But this item was also over cooked. the chef should have noticed the dryness of the chicken and not served this dish- you can see the stringy layers of overcooked chicken. This item had to be re-fired. The replacement came with moist chicken. 3) Chicken teriyaki $20: this item arrived late. The wait staff apologized and advised us it would be late. I didn't ask why. but when the dish finally arrived, it was moist and flavorful. The chicken seemed pretty marinated. Those with allergies to soy, beware. Observation. We were the second table at this restaurant. Other patrons arrived 10 minutes after we arrived and their rolls of sushi arrived before our entrees. We didn't order any sushi, the sushi rolls passing by our booth did look appealing. perhaps only order sushi from this japanese restaurant and forego the other items. would we return.....probably not. two dry entrees, receiving our food later than other patrons, and experiencing non welcoming greetings....Why again? read more

We went for lunch and arrived around 1145 when it wasn't busy at all. The table was little dirty. After we ordered the food, it took a good 40 mins for both items to come. In between I asked the waitress, she said the sesame chicken took longer to make bah bah bah, then the second time, she admitted that they forgot the order. People came later already got their foods but she didn't even bother to check. There were three waitresses but two of them spent more time chatting with each other than helping the customers. Other than the one time one of them brought over the wrong order, zero service from them. When the foods finally came, the 5 piece of sashimi changed to 4, and the roll was missing two of the ingredients show on the menu. Didn't even bother to complain cuz we don't want to wait longer. The experience is not good, no apology, we aren't going back. read more

Good food, friendly services, reasonable price and best of all, very close to me. This is definitely my go-to place to satisfy my constant sushi cravings. I recently tried their tuna blossom and that was amazingly good. They have table and sushi bar seating. I prefer sitting at the bar and watching the chef's do their thang. I also like that I get my food straight from the chef. Sushi restaurants are popping up everywhere, there's no shortage of them in this neighborhood, but, rather it's take out or dine-in, this is definitely my fav in this area. read more

I've heard so many great things about SushiQ. I've been to their other location and it was ok. My experience at this location was the same. Both times I've been here, it's been for an early dinner. The restaurant was not very busy. We were seated right away and our order taken quickly. However, our appetizers took a while to arrive and our rolls took even longer. We got the Big Poppa, Bob Marley, Monterey Trail and Kings Roll. The Big Poppa and Monterey Trail were both deep fried rolls, which may account for why it took so long. The Big Poppa is a large and unwieldy roll. It's hard to eat and had too much going on to be truly enjoyable. The Bob Marley was nice and refreshing with the salmon and lemon slices. The other rolls were not very noteworthy. There was nothing remarkable about the service. Pricing was average for sushi rolls ($15-$20) The restaurant is small, but cute with a sushi bar and a small dining area. Parking was not an issue. All in all, my experience wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. I'd come back if I was in the area. read more

Came here on a Saturday with a party of 4 and we ordered a lot: Tuna blossom which was fresh and refreshing, salmon truffle sashimi (fresh but I didn't like the sauce), lobster tempura ( so good although a little small), sashimi platter, and two rolls. Everything was so fresh and delicious although my favorite is probably the tuna blossom. For drinks we ordered hot tea, which came in a nice pot and 4 cups to share. We also ordered deep fried cheesecake for dessert - came out as a set of 4 very small scoop of ice cream, which I would not order this again since it was $16 and was pretty small. Service was nice and friendly although there was a long wait time to get our food. read more

Chirashi bowl- Delicious, melt in your mouth thick slices of sashimi served over a bed of lightly seasoned sushi rice. Nicely textured rice, just slightly chewy and not too hard or too soft. Comes with delicious real wasabi, not the fake green stuff. Tuna Blossom- beautiful arranged bed of greens over tuna sashimi. Just the right amount of crunch and saltiness. I usually ask for the jalapeños on the side, unless you can handle the heat! Be prepared for a long wait, they are always packed. Lovely presentation and sushi comparable to SF restaurants.

I've been to their first location on Elk Grove Florin Road many years ago, and I don't remember thinking much of it. So, I was very happily surprised by the food at this location. I tried their Lunch Box Special, only offered on weekends between 11:30am to 3:00pm. For my two items, I selected the Chicken Teriyaki and Monterey Trail Roll. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and I liked that their teriyaki sauce wasn't thick and gloppy like it is at other restaurants. The roll was really good too! The avocado, crab mix, and sauces made the roll creamy and the warmth from it being flash fried only added to that texture. The dressing from on the salad was really delicious as well! It was a good sized portion, and I had leftovers. It's not what I consider to be authentic Japanese, but the food tastes good and the service was pleasant. read more
