Our server was young and we could tell she hasn't been doing this long, but she put in the most effort to make our meal nice and I was really blown away by how hospitable and happy she was to be there. That is hugely refreshing and so hard to find anywhere today. She brought me a basket to put my purse in under the table because I don't put it on the floor superstitiously. Our water glasses were always full. We were genuinely able to relax and have a nice time. The kitchen, however, had gotten overwhelmed before we got there and my stepdaughter's chicken donburi took over an hour to come out. I really don't want to fault them for that because it was a very busy day, but it might be a good idea to hire an extra line cook for the next big holiday. I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular day because I'm sure it will be 5 stars! The rolls were fantastic and creative (they're labeled on my photos.) I forgot to take a pic of the Osaka roll but it was devoured by my fiancé so it must have been delicious! The miso soup was full of mushrooms and had great umami flavor. The Sake nigiri was some of the freshest I've had recently and was buttery and delicious. Japanese food is my absolute favorite and this place delivered excellent service and flavor.

The waitress was friendly and helped describe the dishes we were considering. I always go for their Homura Aburasoba (Top 1). It's delicious and well-balanced in flavor; I like to add fried garlic, vinegar, and chili oil to enhance the dish (personal preference but not needed). 9/10 The Nikumori Aburasoba is packed with savory and spicy flavors, but it's a bit heavy. Nice quantity of noodles and meat. 8/10 We love karaage and the Oroshi Ponzu Karaage did not disappoint. Fantastic crispy outside and smothered in grated daikon radish (however, there was another time we came here and it wasn't as crispy). 10/10 when it comes out perfectly!

The raw egg mixed with spicy pork was the perfect combo of creaminess and a little bit of kick. The bambu shoots and scallions gave a nice crunch to the dish. When I added vinegar and ground sesame seeds, the flavor totally changed (to the better!). The acidity from the vinegar gave a bright taste to the creamy noodle. - Original aburasoba: good. The noodle was perfectly cooked. The chasu pieces were tender and flavorful. It tasted better when I added vinegar, spicy sauce & ground sesame seeds to the bowl. - Ponzu karaage: the karaage meat was tender and juicy.

We ordered some cold green tea, and started our meal with 12 piece sashimi and an order of chicken karaage.

While I didn't get pics of every one of our dishes, trust me when I say our plates were left clean. While this wasn't our first visit, it had been a while, and that's only because it's a small, but traditional Japanese shop that is ALWAYS crowded.

Expect to wait an hour for your food after you have been seated. We arrived close to opening at noon on a Sunday and did not leave until 2pm which is when they close for lunch. We sat at the back right side of the restaurant which is where the AC is blasting so it can get very cold when seated here. We started with the Ika Maruyaki (Teriyaki grilled squid) and for $28 this was a miss. No tentacles were served and the squid did not taste very fresh. It's really not worth the price point and I don't recommend it. The next appetizer was the toro roll and I think I need to order more sushi next time. The fish was incredibly fresh with a perfect amount of rice and high quality nori. I ordered the tempura udon - you really can't go wrong with the tempura here. It has a crisply light batter that is not too thick or oily. My husband got the tonkatsu curry and this always hits. The curry is so aromatic with the warm spices and the katsu is perfectly battered and cooked.

While, the curry beef and teriyaki chicken entree we ordered were terrible. For $22, we expect the beef would be tender, it was not. I can not chew it. Also, there was no flavor on the beef. They poured a small portion of the curry on it but still the curry is very "weak". The piece of very thin beef was about 4"x4", very small portion...for $22. The $22 teriyaki chicken was the same...no flavor, just lightly deep in a teriyaki sauce. Luckily, we ordered two sushi rolls at $18 each. Otherwise, we would still be starving. The sushi rolls are good, not great, but standard. Any sushi restaurants can prepared the same. But, for the price of $18 per roll we ordered, we can probably get cheaper prices elsewhere. Anyway, we are very, very picky people and we love to eat. These were our first impressions of this restaurant, and our opinions. Your taste buds might be different than our, so good luck. But I would not recommend this restaurants for their entrée, their sushi is fine, if you do not mind their prices.

He made sure everyone was taken care of, kept things organized, and always checked in with a great attitude. You could tell he genuinely cared about giving us a great experience. We also want to thank Mike and the other staff at the front for welcoming us and helping make the celebration feel extra special from the moment we arrived. The food was amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish and sushi roll we ordered came out delicious, and the quality was impressive for the price. Their happy hour menu is also such a great value with plenty of options to choose from, making it easy to try a variety of dishes without overspending. Overall, the combination of great food, excellent service, and welcoming hospitality made this such a memorable night for our family. We'll definitely be back again!

It was to our surprise that the host sat us at the worst seat in the entire building even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We were shocked to see a fire extinguisher at our table and an open supply closet (opened) right behind my seat. Why would the restaurant even create a seating area around these items and have us seat there. We asked to be moved and the worker seamed confused about our request to find better seating arrangements. After waiting a little bit, we walked out and let them know that we are unhappy. The staff didn't care and lit us walk out. We then drove to Folsom to eat at Aloha Sushi. I hope Mikuni's management reads my review and address the issue for future Birthday dinners.

I tried their sukiyaki set, both wagyu and seafood. I wish they had given some instructions on the approach or order I should eat the sets of food. It was a little chaotic trying to figure out how I could submerge all the ingredients in the broth so they would cook evenly. The tempura is perfectly crispy, but the rice was a little brittle and got dried really fast. The texture was more like Vietnamese broken rice, and it caught me off guard because when I tried their sushi a while ago, they used very high-quality rice. As is typical with sukiyaki, the broth becomes very flavorful at the end, absorbing all the flavors from high-quality ingredients, but my udon got a little dry while waiting. Since I tried both set, the wagyu sukiyaki broth became a little too sweet at the end. My favorite is definitely the seafood sukiyaki broth. Would I try these pricy sukiyaki again? Probably not. Would I go back to Azayaka again? 100%. This would not discourage me from going back there any amount.

Daughter ordered the ramen ($18) with the red option, which she enjoyed with the plethora of toppings. Dinner the second time, I got the teishoku set with salmon ($21). Two decently filets of salmon came with rice, miso soup, salad, deep fried egg roll and salad. You also get a choice of either croquette or chawanmushi. The chawanmushi was a highlight for me!

This has spot has become a rotating staple for me and am looking forward to trying out more of their sushi rolls.
