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!

Sometimes those restaurants that look less-than-inspiring on the outside can be a true hidden…read moretreasure on the inside. 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.

As I walked in, I was greeted warmly and seated promptly by the one server present. Not all tables were occupied. Still, I wondered about whether it might be too much for her to handle. I needn't have been concerned - she was professional, very pleasant, and on top of every detail. Decor is pleasant without seeming fussy. I perused the menu and decided on a light lunch that included some miso soup, an order of smoked salmon nigiri, an order of hamachi (yellowtail) nigiri, and an unagi (eel) hand roll. Everything was very fresh and presented beautifully. It was a lovely solo lunch on a beautiful day. I can't imagine a nicer way to treat myself after a doctor's appointment. When scheduling future visits, I'll try to make sure they're around midday so I can stop off at Express for lunch before heading home.

They also had ocean creature videos playing which was nice since I was dining solo so I had something to keep my eyes busy. My waitress was very kind, I believe her name was Tayla(Taylor?) and she truly amplified the dining experience. When I placed my order she asked if I wanted any additional dipping sauces and even made suggestions when I asked her for her opinion. The chili crunch was an awesome topping and I will be sure to ask about it next time. The food was great and super filling. Everything came out quickly. I will be sure to come back with my partner and family next time. Great find and I'm so glad I stopped by!

Thank you to the girl who brought us sauces and the spice. Edamame- so sweet it tastes like bbq sauce and teriyaki. None of us liked it. Used to have yeah chopped garlic and seasoning. Pepperfin- cute presentation but what in the hell in the over daikon! It took over half the place and fish was dry. I asked waiter can we have a bit more sauce for the pepperin? He said oh you mean ponzu? Sure whatever it's served with bro. Shogun roll- hella rice and skimpy on tuna on top.

When I arrived to pick it up, I was told they "never received" my order. I showed them that I had been charged, but instead of trying to resolve the issue, they refused to make my food and didn't offer me a refund. I understand that technical issues and mistakes happen, but taking a customer's money and then offering absolutely no solution is unacceptable. I left with no food and without the money I paid for the order. The lack of customer service and willingness to fix the situation was honestly shocking. I definitely won't be coming back and would not recommend ordering from here.

And then I got an order of aloha deep fried and a TNT roll also and my husband ordered 2 rolls and 1 of my cousins in laws ordered 3 different things and his wife ordered a roll also and we had 4 sake bombs but I only drank the hot sake. The waitress even though she was super nice didn't seem to keep everything straight and also had a hard time keeping our table ordered straight she forgot about my iced tea for the longest time. An then they couldn't and wouldn't do anything special off my birthday even though we go there a lot and always spend a lot of money there. We got there with our group at a round 5pm tonight, I wanted to come here because of how great our service and food was last time we were in here and everything and we always spend a lot of money when we're here. We also got my cousin in laws into something new the pepper fin they had never had it before and they loved it. The restaurant was clean there was only a few tables that were full when we came in and then after we ordered our food a reservation for 8 + came in and also several other tables as well. But the big thing is that even though our waitress was super nice and everything she couldn't keep everything together and straight and we had to keep asking for things on top of it, the food we all got were good but not as good as last time but I do love the bigger pieces of pepper fin we got this time that was a huge plus for me sense it's my favorite and my husband knows it.

Walking in, it was small yet the ambiance was nice and cozy. Not a large amount of seating so I can imagine it getting packed later in the evening. There were 3 small parties (not busy) at this time. The waitress greeted us immediately and provided us the menu along with briefly explaining to us the specials posted on the wall. After a few minutes, we decided on the following: - Dragon roll - 4.5 of 5 - I enjoyed it - kushi katsu - 3 of 5 - seemed average to me Sashimi mix - 3 of 5 - very fresh but otherwise average Red and white (a special?) - 4 of 5 - I enjoyed it Overall, despite the average to good sushi, the experience was very pleasant and the the bill wasn't horrible. I am still likely to return in the future - although their staple menu is limited, they do have their specials that I assume are seasonal which makes up for it.
