    Unagi - chef Danny's creation
    My C.

    What a hidden gem! My hubby and I were in the area and stopped here for lunch. Danny was our sushi chef and he is definitely an artist!! Super friendly staff, great service, and every dish we ordered was mouth watering amazing! We even got to sample a few items, per chef's creation. We have been to many sushi/sashimi places and yet the quality of the food here is in leagues of its own. It's nice when your chef knows his craft! We plan to return and are willing to drive the distance. Highly recommend you give this place a shot!

    Oysters!
    Ava S.

    Fantastic experience! We stopped by this place for the first time a week or so ago and will most definitely be returning. We ordered oysters on the half shell and a couple of sushi rolls. The oysters were garnished beautifully and were absolutely delicious! The sushi rolls were great, too. May was the person who help us. She was a little beam of sunshine. Genuinely nice and very attentive. The restaurant was also clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. Keep up the good work Sushi Star, see you guys soon!

    5 stars for Sushi Star!! The restaurant is so clean and the staff are very friendly! The oysters are delicious, and so is the fried rice ...and of course the sushi :P I was taken to Japan in Citrus Heights! Great spot!

    Walked in on a Friday night for dinner. This place gives a a casually, family friendly atmosphere. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. The food took awhile to come out but it was delicious. The fish was very fresh but the wait time was a little long

    3 Items Bento Box: salmon teriyaki, California Roll and tempura
    Arlynne D.

    My friend and I ran into this restaurant just by driving around. We were surprised by how well this place treated us. The server greeted us and invited us to order when we were ready. I asked which rolls were the most popular and he suggested the Cecey roll. I was concerned with the level of spicy and the server mentioned they can adapt the ingredients to make the roll more mild. I ordered a bento box and loved how the salad had mixed greens and tomatoes. I also noticed the California roll had 8 pieces instead of a typical 3 at most restaurants. I loved this place and am happy it's near my work so I can enjoy the food again. The place is small but it is worth trying.

    Chicken karaggee

    We always love japanese food that's why we wanted to try a variety of everything. We saw this place and first time coming here. The vibes of the place is simple japanese kind of vibe. Small space but still the ambience is great. You should definitely try the Fried oyster for appetizer. Its 5/5 for me. We have to order another round. We dont like the chicken karagee, not the usual chicken karagge. The tonkatsu is 3/5 for me flavorful but not so much with the umami flavors. Love all the sushi. And a big serving of sashimi deluxe for only $50 is a great choice. Love the place and will go back again here. Only one cons is the orders take time it takes about 20mins for our orders to come but they gave us a complimentary edamame so its still good!

    We tried this place out for the first time after trying to find a new sushi spot in the area. This place had good reviews so we decided to try it out. The location isn't the best, so don't be concerned when you drive up to it. That being said, the service was phenomenal. We came in on a Sunday and they were not very busy. We were told to sit where we liked and they immediately came to us and asked us how we were and took our drink orders. For the food, we got one of the hot appetizers which was very good and came out hot. The edamame was delicious with just the right amount of heat and seasoning. For the sushi, we ordered some nigiri and a couple rolls. The fish on top of the nigiri was super fresh and delicious - it just melted in your mouth. The rolls were super filling as well and had the perfect combinations. Only problem I had with one of the rolls was that it had too much sauce. The rice was soaked in the sauce and it just killed the flavor of everything else for me. Other than that, the food came out quickly and it was super fresh and tasty. This is a great sushi spot to come try. They are super nice and friendly, with great food!

    It is unfortunate this place is closed. This was our "Go to" place every Sunday. One day we went and it was closed. Now, it appears it is permanently closed. This place had so much potential. The owner and chefs were so friendly and nice and it was the food that kept us coming back. It is sad to see it go.

    California Roll
    Mel J.

    Affordable sushi that was actually good! We went here for lunch (around 11:45am) and the place was just open for the day so we were seated right away. The food came out pretty fast. - california roll: lots of filling and good. My kid loved it and finished it all - spider roll: soft shell crab was crispy and generous pieces of the crab. The sauce was good They made a cute orange character for my kid at the end of the meal. We'll be back when we're in the area

    Steak & Chicken Hibachi
    Alicia F.

    Great customer service and even better food.. They messed up and gave me steak & shrimp instead of steak & chicken and they fixed it promptly and were apologetic. First time trying this place and will be back. Lots of food for the price.

    Soft shell crab. Huge and tasty
    Peter F.

    New owners new dishes. Went in here the other night and I was surprised to see new owners tried some of the new dishes quite good.. same attention to detail and freshness this is definitely things haven't changed much.. place was very clean and orderly. Nice family room atmosphere.

    Special spicy mama roll
    Eric L.

    First time trying this place. Wonderful service, and great food. Sounds like there is new management and it is great. We got miso soup for the kid (7yo) and it was accepted by him, which is a positive reaction. Wife's sashimi was fresh and good. Rolls were well made and tight. No complaints. If I had to find faults, my house salad was too big, they gave us too much wasabi and ginger, and the free desert with the bill was unexpected.

    Are you still open for business? Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and all lights are out.

    Your best bet is to call like I did. They use to be open on Sundays and then one Sunday we stopped by but like you the lights were out. They need to update their hours on Yelp. Call first.

    Is the sushi AYCE?

    No.

    Is this place even open?is it only Saturdays?

    Yes they are. Saturday they open at 11:30

    Are you open for business?

    Yes, we are here right now waiting for our food

    We were craving some Japanese food and found this place with decent reviews. We came on a Saturday…read morearound lunch and it wasn't busy. The exterior is very unsuspecting. I would have never thought a Japanese restaurant was here. The inside was another story! The inside is decorated with all kinds of Japanese pictures and decor. You definitely felt like you were in a Japanese restaurant. The menu was impressive! Everything had pictures which is so amazing! It was just easier having an idea of what to pick based on looking at the pictures. There were all kinds of sushi rolls, bento boxes, noodles, appetizers and plates. We decided to get the ramen, salmon katsu, and tempura bowl. Food came our really quick. Portions were good and everything we tasted wonderful. It definitely satisfied our craving. The tempura was crispy. The ramen broth was rich and noodles nice and chewy. The bento box came with gyoza, salad, tempura, oranges, miso soup and rice. Service was great. They were attentive, and friendly. Eating with our littles ones is never easy and we appreciated how patient they were with us. We loved the food and hope to come back and try their sushi next!

This is exactly what I had experienced when I paid a visit to "Akira Sushi" Located directly on Greenback Lane and adjacent to Auburn Blvd in Citrus Heights, this place opened its doors for business back in mid-2024. Since then, they have seen a very respectable amount of positive reviews. As I had previously mentioned, the exterior isn't much to look at as this is a fairly dated strip mall that hasn't received any updates in decades. And to those that remember, this is the same building that "Pho 54" occupied from 2013-2023. During my visit which was the afternoon of Sunday 8/3/2025 at around 5:15pm, I parked directly outside as there were no other cars here. Upon entry, there was one other customer finishing dinner. After being greeted and seated, I was given a menu complete with a cold glass of iced water. I will say that the interior of this place is quite impressive, cozy, and inviting. The distressed wooden tables paired up with the tan-colored walls and unique murals add an upscale look to the overall interior. On a packed evening, this place can comfortably seat around 50 guests. I will say that their menu is fully loaded with pure deliciousness. They offer a huge variety of traditional sushi rolls, custom rolls, Bento boxes, seafood tacos (available in tuna or salmon), Poke bowls, and even ramen for the colder days/evenings. And even a nice variety of beverages including soda, beer, wine, and sake. Since I was dining solo, I decided on the "Sunomomo Salad" which was a cucumber salad w/Ponzu sauce and Bonito flakes. My main dish was their "Napa Valley" roll which uses shrimp tempura, cucumbers, avocado, spicy aioli, unagi sauce, and topped with sesame seeds. My salad was brought out in less than 3 minutes while my sushi arrived just a few minutes later. I will say that everything was very fresh and delicious. The avocado had perfect consistency while the shrimp was made to perfection. In my humble opinion, this was an absolute gem of a roll. All in all, "Akira Sushi" is about as good as it gets for quality sushi in Citrus Heights. They have very respectable hours of operation being open 6 days a week; Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30am-2:30pm / 4:00-8:30pm with extended hours on Fri/Sat while being closed for business on Monday. Service was great as the young lady that waited on me was polite, courteous, and respectful. With a great atmosphere, delicious food, and reasonable prices, I am giving Akira Sushi a unanimous five-star rating.

However, my recent visit was ruined by an incredibly disappointing server experience. My husband, child, and I dined there today. While it was a bit busy, it wasn't overwhelmingly so. Unlike the fantastic service I've received from other servers in the past, this server was truly awful. She seemed to actively avoid our table, and when she did interact with us, it was dismissive and rude. She brought our waters & my three-year-old daughter a glass cup instead of a plastic one, and when I requested a plastic cup, she slammed it on the table without a word. She completely ignored our "thank yous," even when my daughter politely thanked her. However, she was sweet and attentive to other tables in her section. We had to ask another server for water refills and kids' chopsticks because our server was nowhere to be found and never checked on us or our meal to ask if it was good or if we even need anything. NOTHING. I'm usually a generous tipper, often leaving over $20, but this server did not earn a cent from me. Lastly, she sent me to pay next to the bar while other people had their checks at the table. So much more happened but these were the main points that irritable me the Most. While I'll definitely be back for the incredible food, if I encounter this particular server again, I will absolutely be requesting a different one. Her attitude was unforgettable, and it completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable family meal on a Saturday night.

Daniel and Rebecca have consistently been friendly, attentive, and welcoming, even when we are not seated in their sections. On separate occasions, both have shown genuine compassion, care, and a strong sense of community. Most recently, Rebecca made a meaningful impact on our family by praying with us for a loved one going through serious health challenges. Tonight, she remembered us and was genuinely happy to hear that prayers had been answered. Daniel also noticed when we needed a little extra attention and stepped in right away. We also appreciate Alex, who always helps make sure everyone is taken care of, and Andrew, whose creativity always shows in the beautiful and delicious rolls. It means a lot to have a restaurant nearby that not only serves amazing food, but truly cares about its customers and community. Highly recommend!

They text you when your table is ready. Didn't really like that the tables are seated so close to each other. We could hear the whole conversation of the table next to us. It's also loud and couldn't hold a conversation so I wouldn't come here for a date night. We were told sushi rolls were a 30 minute wait but it didn't take that long. Sushi rolls were yummy as usual! We normally frequent the Elk Grove location and will likely stick to that one just because it's easier parking and never crazy loud inside.
