I had this place bookmarked for some time and finally decided to try it. We came here for dinner on a Friday night and I have to say, this place will be one for the books! The service was good, but it did take a minute for us to get our food but it was totally worth the wait! We had the 18 pc sashimi mix, 12 mix nigiri and the lemon drop roll. The sashimi and nigiri were really buttery and fresh! You can really tell it's quality sashimi. Anyways, I highly recommend this place! read more

This spot is exceptional. I have had a lot sushi in my time, and I have always thought what sets a sushi restaurant apart from the pack is their attention to detail. The garnish and sauce for each roll is unique. I've eaten nearly 3/4 of the menu in my few visits and the individuality of rolls and flavors makes each trip exciting and refreshing. They also have killer happy hour deals all day on Sunday. The service has always been fantastic and the ambience is cozy but high-energy, even if you're the only group in the restaurant. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone craving sushi in the Sacramento area, and I'll definitely be back a lot more! read more

I love this sushi spot because of its unique flavors! Every roll tastes different from one another which is hard to find at a sushi spot. And everyone there was so friendly. My favorite roll I've ever had here is the lemon drop (not pictured) read more

Aiko - Ronin, Rising Sun, Knocked Up - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

So, I was a bit hesitant once I had seen sky sushi turn into " Aiko". I am not sure why they decided to rename the restaurant, but its still under the same ownership! We thought we'd give Aiko a try thinking it was a new restaurant. Upon walking in, I noticed everything still looked the same, even the menu! Our server, Lai had informed us that everything was still the same but they now offer happy hour all day on Sundays! What a win! We decided to try the crispy spicy tuna roll, the ronin roll, and the chicken karaage. Everything was great, however I wasn't a fan of the crispy spicy tuna roll. It was nothing to write home about and I thought the added sweet chili sauce made it basic. "The ronin roll and the chicken karate however, were amazing! so much flavor and the chicken was perfectly crispy which paired well with the dipping sauce. Overall, I am glad that they're still sky sushi just with a different name. The service and food are still as amazing as ever! Highly recommend! read more

I have been meaning to try this place for a while now and finally got around to it on Sunday afternoon. The restaurant is not too big but easily located off the freeway and plenty of parking within the plaza. The service was amazing where they were attentive, but not overbearing and the quality of the fish is great for its price! I highly recommend the chirashi bowl and the only critique I would have is to serve it in a bigger bowl because it was a little difficult to eat. However, the chef's choice selection was awesome and I really do enjoy it when they actually name each fish. They also do happy hour all day on Sunday so I tried two of the Rolls and it was solid. I would definitely be coming back as a regular. read more

Outstanding! Excellent food, that's hot when served. The texture of the tempura is cooked to perfection with a delightful crispness that allows the flavors of the vegetables and fish to explode in your mouth. Service is top notch. Everyone greets you with a smile. Wondered place. read more

After a 4.5 hour hike, we decided to find a refreshing sushi restaurant. We decided to stop in. We were greeted and waiter was very professional, and polite. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and restroom was clean as well. Ordered the cucumber salad, and tempura for starters. The presentation and flavor for both, absolutely delicious, fresh! We couldn't get enough. Then we placed an order for a few roles. Every single roll, was gone within minutes. My fiancé enjoyed them all. His favorite out of the three, was the knockout, although he said all three were all very good. I ordered the shrimp lover roll.. so tasty. Highly recommend, will come back again. read more

Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Came here on Friday night and was able to get a table fairly quickly. I didn't see an option for reservations online as well. Food came out very quickly and very pretty presentations. Want to try the raw oysters, but they didn't have it that day. Service was very friendly as well. Great quality sashimi and everyone enjoyed it. We'll be back to try more dishes. read more

This has been a long time favorite, not much has changed since the name change. My go to is still the beautiful roll. The atmosphere is intimate and the service is outstanding. We have been sitting at the bar and still getting that exceptional service we have always gotten. The garlic edamame can't be beat. It's so good that we opt to dip everything in the sauce after all of the beans are gone. read more

Delicious and HUGE servings! Had lunch here today with 5 buddies. The food was very delicious! The portions are HUGE and very yummy! We saw a couple of the bento box combos and they were definitely two to three meals worth of food in the serving size! Super yummy! Some people ordered chicken teriyaki, chicken Katsu and beef teriyaki. Everyone thought their food was super delicious! Again the servings are HUGE! The service was spot on! The waitress was wonderful always checking in on us to make sure we were taken care of. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Great little gem of a restaurant ! read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Has been one of my go to stops here in rancho. Friendly staff, great vibe with the Japanese anime decor. The food is always amazing and the highest quality. We always get the chef special, be careful how spicy you ask for it because they do not play around here. Love this spot and will continue to make the drive here! My only knock, booths need to be updates. Other than that fantastic read more

My new favorite sushi restaurant! When I tell you everything tasted so good even the wasabi was something I loved. We ordered Geso (so fresh and well seasoned), gyoza (I've never had one like it and it was really good), and cucumber salad (I could have drank the sauce the put on it). We got four rolls: Slap happy, Scallop Maniac, Let me take a selfie, and Show me your love. The Scallop Maniac was my favorite but each roll was so good. I don't know if this is a me thing but at other places all of the rolls end up tasting the same, here all of the rolls were so unique and distinct tasting. The best thing offered was the sashimi platter. I highly recommend getting the large because we got the small and it was not enough. The fish was fresh and melt in your mouth quality. I would 100% be going back and trying other rolls. Our server was 10/10 but I also noticed the other servers engaging with their tables and I took a mental note of how great the service is. The restaurant itself was very clean and I'm going to be honest I was so focused on the food I didn't look around too see if there was any unique decor. read more

Love this restaurant!!!! My wife and I have found our fave "hole in the wall" sushi spot! And we lucked out that our fave spot is the closest one to home as well! The Karaage and the house "kick sauce" is always a family fave starter. My wife loves the Lion King roll. I'm all about the Chirashi Don and its unique seasonings!

Walking in you are greeted with a Japanese greeting. The server was prompt in informing you to sit where you like. We must have came in on a bad night because they are out of a lot of items. No uni, no hamachi, and no kanpachi. When asking if this is a regular occurrence the server said it isn't. Onto what we ordered. Nigiri: Otoro, tobiko with uzura, and bluefin tuna. Rolls: Lion King, Slap Happy, and Smoky Aiko. Everything was so fresh and the rolls were so tasty. I really like my rolls sliced thin, and these rolls had nice thin pieces and the proportions of rice the ingredients were just right. The nigiri did not have too much rice. I am very interested in tasting the items they ran out of. Dining atmosphere is casual with laid back jazzy style music quietly playing. Tables are granite topped and Japan Night Time Cityscape posters above the booth seats. TV above the sushi bar has sports playing. The sushi chef is at the bar chatting with patrons while he is busy procuring orders. He informs them of what is what. Very good! I am inclined to return! read more

In a nutshell; pretty neat sushi establishment, not a strong suggest but an ok spot if to try if you're in the area. Another sushi place with specialty sushi that have rather unique names. Lots of parking space around. Went during dinner and it was fairly busy but place had a lot of seats and comfortable booths for any time of the day. Servers were great. Food didn't take too long to arrive. Never had trouble having refills for water. Overall always a pleasant experience every visit. read more

We are new to this area and decided to try this "hole-in-the-wall" in a strip mall setting. Pleasantly surprised. Amiable staff and the fish was fresh. We will definitely return. We sat at the bar, and the chairs were a little too low for the bar, so we will sit at a table, next time. read more

Food, service, ambiance were wonderful. Rolls had multiple flavors and were very fresh. First time here and making this our "go to" spot.

Some of the best sushi I have had. It's so good. Every roll I have had here was amazing. My favorite was lemon drop roll and lemon crispy (I like lemons ). The staff here is really nice and the service is fast. The restaurant is nice and clean. I definitely recommend this place. read more

What a surprise this place was. Did not expect a little hole in the wall like this to deliver such quality, but they went above and beyond. Great service food came out fast and every single thing we ordered was delicious. This will absolutely be one of our go to places when we wanna go out to dinner. Mikuni's ranked second best! Thanks for a great date night place read more

Fantastic sushi quality! Great value. The service was a bit slow but wait staff very friendly. Ambiance was good. If you want great sushi for a great price come here. Their sushi rolls were good, but what I feel they really shine at is their nigiri and sashimi - amazing! read more

Aiko - Pepper Fin 10/10! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Before the name change I was treated like shit by a waitress who told me I had to go outside to order. My daughter and I had been dropping $100 or more weekly before tips for 2 years there. I hope they went bankrupt. read more

The location is alright. It's in the middle of a shopping center near a bunch of other shops, restaurants, and a grocery store. There is plenty of parking so that won't be an issue. On the outside, it's nothing special. Even on Apple Maps, this is still Sky Sushi. My group arrived because we thought it was Sky Sushi. We were about to leave to go to the real Sky Sushi but decided to give this place a try. Boy were we pleasantly surprised. This is probably the best sushi I have ever had. Maybe I was just hungry from spending all day on the lake but man was this meal good. Who knew being stranded at an old Sky Sushi could be this fun. The ambiance inside was inviting and friendly. It feels and looks like an upscale restaurant on the inside. Almost like something from The Bear. I enjoyed the lofi-pop they had playing in the background. The bathrooms were clean and the AC was blasting in the restaurant. Our server, Lai, was very friendly and gave insightful information on the menu. He told us to try the garlic edamame and was he right. I have never had anything that tasted quite like this dish. The sauce it was served in was so good I drank it like a juice. Absolutely amazing. 5 stars for this dish alone. The sushi rolls were large and they give you like 12 rolls! Insane portion sizes!!! I can't name another sushi place that gives you the large rolls with this many. You will be full walking out of here. The fish tasted very fresh. All the ingredients were packed with flavor. The sauces were nice and drizzled. They had the right amount of crunch and warmth. The flavor was divine. On top of that, we ordered a beer pitcher and sake bomb for way less than I've had anywhere else. The rolls were $7 and $8 each unheard of in this economy. A dinner for two people is about ~$25 before tip making this a ($). Their prices are dirt cheap, I wish I could give a sixth star. The quality and flavor of the food far surpass its price tag. Honestly, this is a hidden gem. Best sushi I've ever had no cap. Way better than Sky Sushi. Bottom Line/TLDR: BEST SUSHI EVER (and affordable) read more

The food was good but we waited an hour for the food to come out. You'd think we'd get comp'd for an appetizer or something but I guess not. We were one of three parties when we first came in. It was crowded at the end. Probably because nobody else got their food either. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner on Saturday 9/27/25 at around 2:30-3:00pm. There was no wait and got a table of our choice. Aiko provided a non-hectic and quiet experience. The restaurant was bright, quiet, and clean. Our drink order went in immediately. Our food order was next. We ordered three rolls, "Let Me Take a Selfie", "Smokey Aiko", and "Lemon Drop". All three rolls had so much flavor, and the ingredients were fresh and so good. Our server was prompt, courteous, thoughtful and professional. This is our second time at Aiko, and we will definitely return. We feel pricing is friendly. Aiko is our go to place for sushi. Everything was very good! We definitely recommend! read more

First time coming since the change to Aiko from Sky Sushi. The reason I come is for the Garlic Soy Edamame. I love the deep flavor of the edamame. If you are familiar with Filipino Adobe, that's the flavor of the edamame. Delicious. Also had the gyoza which was good but pretty average. For my main I had the Scallop Manic. The flavor was great although a little sweeter than expected. Doesn't matter, scallops are my favorite food. My family tried a number of other rolls, all good according to them.. Also ordered the Katsu Don and Teriyaki Don for my kids. The chicken was good and it came with a lot of rice. Like a lot, a lot. Good spot for sushi. Smaller menu but done well. read more

The edamame was fire . I'd even say better than Arigatos. The wait time was pretty long but I will say it was Saturday and around dinner time. Although we waited a bit for our food our waiter Lai was well at keeping us updated and check in on us while we waited. The sushi was good. I love the inside it's very homey but yet minimalistic I felt very comfortable here. read more

Love, love love this place! Always great service! I have yet to catch the female server that we always have, but she's always so on top of it and so kind. There tends to only be one server in there when we go, but they definitely hustle. But that does not take away from the quality of service. I love how they have happy hour all day, Sunday and Tuesday! The rolls are quite creative, we have tried about half the menu and have loved all of it! The teriyaki chicken don is the best teriyaki chicken we've ever had, and such a big serving! The miso soup is also tasty. We rave about this place to everyone we know! Overall clean and peaceful space. read more

First time here and it was a win. Relaxed atmosphere, great service from Lai, and the food was genuinely delicious. Garlic edamame and pepper fin were both 10/10. BBQ albacore was great, and the playboy roll was good but definitely spicy. Also, the sushi names here send me into orbit. Whoever came up with them was having fun. Overall, solid spot I'd come back to! read more

Went here last night and I was beyond impressed. Everything that my aunt and I ordered tasted amazing. We got a sunomono salad and gyoza for appetizers. Then we got a teriyaki bento and two rolls (the arigato roll and lemon crispy roll) Amazing flavor and beyond fresh!!! Our server was on top of everything and he was super nice. I cannot remember his name but he was great, he wore glasses. The ambiance of the place was nice and calm for a Sunday evening. Very relaxing and great vibes and I can't wait to come back. I've already told my friends and family about this place! read more

Food was delicious! Our waitress was very kind and gave us amazing recommendations. Very calm atmosphere too.

I have been a customer for over 10 years, but my recent visit was very disappointing. I arrived at the restaurant and waited about 15 minutes without any greeting or acknowledgment from staff. No one came over to take my order or offer assistance during that time. Unfortunately, due to the lack of service, I decided to leave. read more

The sushi's here are great. The 3 stars is because I just feel that for a restaurant this busy, they should have more staff on board. I felt extremely bad for the two waiters and one waitress working the Friday night we were there. And then there were probably two chefs? When we got seated, about 15 minutes went by so we asked the waiter to take our orders. After we ordered, it took very long for our food to arrive. I don't blame this on the staff. Aside from the sushi's, I ordered the grilled chicken bento box for my son, and it was bland. The grilled chicken was dried. The edamame that came with it also looked dried. I tried one of their sake cocktails and it was actually really good. I recommend the Little Tokyo. It's like a pina colada. read more
