I was working in the area so came here for lunch. The place is clean and the staff is very friendly. They greeted us as we walked in and were very hospitable. We ordered the seaweed salad and a couple rolls. Everything tasted great and very fresh. read more

HORRIBLE!!!! I can not stress enough. We gave it a few chances, for benefit of doubt. The WOMAN, wife or whomever she is, the one who sounds "different" when she speaks, is RUDE (maybe she's having a bad day, I'll let it slide) and unapologetic about the food being "fishy" and smelling bad. Even after a few chances to change our mind about customer service skills or LACK THERE OF, and the food being meh..there was NO IMPROVEMENT. She definitely has issues. read more

Wow! What a great dinner. We were looking for new sushi place in this place did not disappoint. We stopped in without a reservation they had no problem seating us. The ambience in the restaurant was excellent. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable. Our waiter was prompt, efficient and friendly. Our food was excellent!!!We totally enjoyed our date here. We were very impressed. We will be back. We highly recommend Amici Sushi. read more

Amici sounds like it should be an Italian Restaurant, but don't let that confuse you. It's one of the best neighborhood sushi restaurants in the area. Shawn is the owner and has been taught Japanese cooking techniques. My personal test is to try their soba noodles. Once soba hits the right consistency (a little more than Al Dente), it needs to be thrown into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. If your noodles are soggy, this wasn't done. He hits the spot. His sushi is a little more toward American taste (a little larger), but has the freshness and temperature I look for. The tempura comes out golden brown and his fusion dishes are fun and layered with different flavors. On top, Shawn is a friendly guy and recognizes his repeat customers. The place is simple and clean, but brace yourself-it's not budget and sometimes, not for the faint of heart. The total can run up quickly. But in this case, I value the quality and preparation higher. read more

A personal favorite of mine, everytime i go the food and service is excellent. Best sushi in the 209 for real. Good atmosphere and even better food. Never change read more

I ordered sushi from another place and stopped by here to grab my sauces as they did not put them in the bag for my to-go order. The OWNER is very rude. He was insulted that I came in to pay for sauces rather than sitting down for sushi. He charged me $10 for a minuscule amount of Spicy Mayo and Unagi and made me feel as if I was in the wrong for COMING TO PURCHASE something. I thought maybe he thought I had the intention of getting free sauces, but I had my wallet and card in hand. Never will even get to try this place because I'm not going to support that kind of POS behavior. I'm a paying customer just as everyone else sitting in the restaurant at the time. read more

Been a year since last visit and hats off to Shawn and his team. Had family meeting in Fremont and stopped on way home to Citrus Heights. Decided to get the Unagi and a Shawn roll . Both were delicious and made me wish lived closer so could enjoy his Sushi more often . Thanks Shawn and see you hopefully in another few months. read more

We ordered so much! Tasty and filling. The salmon and Louise roll were my favorite. Clean dinning area and great customer service. Will return again! read more

Amici Sushi - Lathrop roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lathrop, California

We decided to grab sushi after doing errands and we had been here a couple of times and remember enjoying it but it had been some time. I'm not sure if it's the same owners but it does seem family run wish husband and wife cooking/serving. They had a helper who seemed like was learning but the attitude for the owner lady running the show was just cold and unwelcoming. I had kids with me so I'm not sure if that's what annoyed her, or if she was just having a bad day. But we see it ourselves part of the direction of the gentleman. No one came around for a bit to ask us for drinks or our office. I tried to wave down the lady when she was helping another table that came after us and she just told me to wait . My food was also not that great and I don't plan to come here again. read more

It was 30 minutes to closing time, and we tried to get our order in over the phone. It didn't go very smoothly. Not sure where the confusion was but we spoke to 2 different ppl just to place a simple takeout order. Maybe they were afraid we won't make it to pick up before closing? The chicken katsu was nice and crispy. Not very fond of the dipping sauce. It seems like a diluted version of the teriyaki sauce - and that was already on the watery bland side. The beef teriyaki was quite overcooked and chewy. The salad dressing was overwhelming garlicky, and this is coming from someone who triples the garlic in every recipe. I'll maybe return to try the rolls since Asian food options are so limited in Lathrop. read more

If you're looking for high-end sushi, this is the place to go. I've gone here frequently, but this is my first time leaving a review! As far as I know, they updated their hours to be closed from 2-5pm. This is subject to change, but keep this in mind if you're planning to dine here! Aesthetic: Clean, modern, good place for a date night or friendly lunch. Spicy Tuna Tacos (5/5): Specifically for flavor and uniqueness. I LOVE a good street taco, but again, this was still flavorful and unique, and a good fusion. Power of Love (5/5): My personal favorite because of the spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. It also has a sweet-chili sauce which is perfect for my taste buds. Red Ocean (5/5): This roll is light and citrusy. The hamachi, tuna, and salmon combine nicely. Good taste. read more

Amici Sushi - Blueberry Cheesecake - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lathrop, California

0 stars if it was possible. This restaurant is trash. Seems like every sushi spot in Lathrop sucks. First off they're consistently short staffed and never answer the phone. Once you arrive the customer service is terrible and takes forever to be greeted or seated, much worse after waiting to give your order. Seems like they're always trying to cut costs by not having enough staff on hand. The sushi is so mid level grade it's terrible. Not to mention extremely overpriced for what they are trying to pitch as high quality sushi. 21 for the power of love roll and 12 for a hand roll? WTF?! Rolls are overstuffed with rice to compensate for lack of fish. Fish was not a great cut and the Unagi was chewy as hell. And as expected presentation was the cherry on top of how asss this place is. This place and mikasa ain't it chief. Keep it moving and grab sushi in Stockton or Tracy. Or choose another type of meal for the day. read more

One of my favorite experiences to have is when I don't have any expectations for a place and I get completely blown away. That's exactly what happened here! We started off with the spicy garlic edamame and they were delicious. Really good start to the meal. Very flavorful and gave us a good impression on what was to come. We had two sushi rolls, the catapiller roll and the ??? Roll. Both were very unique and fresh. All of the sides went so well with the rolls. They have outdoor sweating write now which I love but the tables are so so small. Can't wait to be back. read more

While prices have definitely soared since Covid. This small business is still the best sushi place for miles. The pieces are thick and flavorful. Shawn and his wife always recognize me when I come in. They have some of the best customer service in this area. Sure, you can go to all the other places in town, but you're gonna get skimpy pieces with no love put into your meal. Come give this place a try if you're on the fence about where to go. You won't be disappointed. Treat yourself to great sushi tonight! read more

We came here after a long day at a nearby Jiu Jitsu tournament nearby and wanted quality food served quickly. We walked in and part of our party was already seated. We were given menus and greeted by their friendly server/staff. She patiently took our order (there were 7 of us). Two of us ordered iced green tea and they bought us out a pitcher of it! Tasted slightly sweet and very refreshing. So we ordered the Sashimi Deluxe (18pcs), Shawn roll, and the Spicy Tuna Handroll. We got a soup and a salad, both very good. Everything else came out pretty quickly. The sashimi was fresh and delicious, melted in my mouth. The roll was big and tasty - we were going for spicy and it hit the spot! Spicy tuna handroll was delicious and loaded! Amici Sushi has wonderful and friendly staff, great customer service and delicious food! We will definitely be coming back again if we're in the area. read more

I am not satisfied with the quality and pricing of food at Amici Sushi. I felt like I got ripped off due to the amount of food given for what I paid. It was as if half the food was missing from my order! What a waste of $30. Lathrop/Manteca is a sushi desert. I understand why it may be popular because of it being right off the freeway, but please do yourself a favor and try elsewhere. As for the customer service, it doesn't hurt to smile and welcome your guests. Hopefully there isn't a bias in customers. Come on, Amici. Get yourself together!! Food - Missing in Action / Overpriced Decor - Mediocre Service - Unfriendly / Poor Communication read more

I was hesitant to try Sushi in beautiful downtown Lathrop ... it's more of a blue collar town with not a great selection of recognizable places with known to be decent food selections... and lots of fast food joints... 5 in one block, 3 Mexican restaurants near my hotel, and this strip mall... Let me say this GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE... I had 3 different rolls, each were 5 star, the service and atmosphere is excellent for a paper napkin sushi house.. in Lathrop Get in here, try the Jelly shot sake and maybe the Funguchi sake read more

It was my first time coming to this restaurant and I've been wanting to try this place since it had good reviews. I drove 30 mins from home just to try this local sushi place. Sad to say, I'm extremely disappointed. Here are my thoughts... Service - Customer service was mediocre. I believe I was greeted by the owner/chef when I walked in. They only had one waiter so it seems like they're short staffed. I waited for a good 5-10 mins before being helped. Then waited for another 10 mins before the waiter can bring my check so I can pay for my order. Incomplete Order - One of the items I ordered was a bento box (but they called it a combination plate) was supposed to come with rice, soup, and salad. They forgot to put the rice in the bag for my bento box and didn't double check. Cost - I ordered 9 things and it costs about $134-135. It is actually more expensive than other places I've been to ordering similar food and it would have been under $100. I ordered the Salt & Pepper Soft Shell Crab appetizer and didn't know it was one small crab sliced in half and that costs $11, which was not worth it. So I looked at my receipt, I saw a $1 charge for take out. I didn't ask why there's such charge when I should've so that part was on me and can't blame anyone. As far as I'm aware, I haven't seen any sushi restaurants in Stockton or other places besides the bay area that would charge customers a fee for take out due to COVID. I personally don't agree with that surcharge because it's not fair to customers and I don't support this behavior. Had I known about this I would've reconsidered coming here. Taste of Food - This is where I have some MAJOR red flags. 1) The cold foods and hot foods were put together in the same bag, which is wrong and it's a no no. You HAVE to keep them separate and never in the same bag. I had a bento box with sashimi and tempura that came with soup and salad. One bag had the sashimi, tempura, and miso soup put together in one bag. The hot soup changed the taste and temperature of the sashimi. I saw the tuna fish slice was partially cooked and I saw the box had watery liquid. Sashimi should be more on the dry side and there shouldn't be any liquid from the fish at all. Then when I took a bite, I can't get past that warm taste and had to spit it out. That piece of tuna was tossed out. 2) One of my other things I ordered was Spicy Garlic edamame. I think they used fresh garlic so the garlic was burnt and it gave a bitter taste. Their spicy level was way too spicy and I think they put too much. 3) I ordered 4 rolls and to my surprise, there was absolutely no flavor! The California Roll is a classic example and typically you can't go wrong ordering this but obviously it did go wrong. They used snow crab which gave me a weird taste. The cucumbers didn't seem fresh and the rice was rather dry so it makes me wonder if they put the right amount of rice vinegar or if its the type of rice they used the went wrong. But I definitely saw some gap in the center of the roll and it wasn't rolled and pressed tightly. I felt there was too much rice and the pieces were thick cut which I'm not too fond of. To sum this up, this was the worst sushi I've had in my entire life. I am a sushi lover since middle/high school and over time I learned how traditional sushi making is prepared, what is used etc. That is how passionate I am when it comes to sushi. I am not looking for quantity but more of quality. And when I eat sushi, I would look at the sushi chef if they have the technique and skill when preparing fresh fish and making sushi rolls. I don't think I will return after this experience. Please note, this is strictly my personal opinion and I would suggest that you try it out for yourself to determine it. Thank you. read more

Nice little hole in the wall in the middle of a city that doesn't really have much sushi wise. My girl friend came here first, and insisted that I try it after, so we stopped out here on a trip to the bay area. Service was pretty quick, but after delivering the food to the table, they weren't really too attentive to us. It seemed like the waiter was mainly focused on the new people sitting down, that he didn't really check up on any of the tables that were there unless we flagged him down for the check. The food was okay. Nothing wrong with it, but also not the best I've had. Previously I've talked about a rice to roll ratio for my sushi, and this place had a thicker layer of rice than my liking. Everywhere is different, and I understand that, but It felt like I tasted the rice more than the filling of the roll. The concept of one of the rolls though were interesting. The Lily roll had an extra sauce where it was like you were making your own spicy mayo to dip the roll in. It really made the roll taste different as I tried it with and without the sauce. Putting something on a plate to get a different concept of the roll really interreges me, so this was a nice surprise. The taste of the fish was a bright spot as well. Majority of it was good. The toro didn't melt in my mouth like I hoped it was, but I did eat it at the end, and the rest of the fish was nice and buttery. Maybe it set me up for higher expectations eating it in the order that I did, but I always like to save the toro for last because it's one of my favorite sashimi, but unfortunately it was the only one to disappoint. For being in an area where there's not really any sushi, it hits the mark, but compared to other places, it's alright. I'd give it a try again just to see if anything else is like the Lily roll. read more

I love Amici. We've been going there since Shawn opened. He's always been so nice to us and engages in conversation. I appreciate how Shawn pays attention to details, for example: Shawn is understanding of dietary restrictions/allergies, the fish is always so fresh tasting, Wasabi is not store bought and made in house, the food is always aesthetically pleasing, and the restaurant is kept clean. Those little things matter. Amici is by far one of my favorite sushi restaurants in the area. read more
