I recently stopped by Arigato Sushi and had a pretty solid overall experience. The service was friendly and welcoming--our waiter was nice and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. That said, the food did take a bit longer than expected to come out, especially considering it wasn't very busy when we went. When the sushi finally arrived, though, it delivered. The rolls were flavorful and well-made, with a noticeable focus on sauces. They do tend to go heavier on the sauce, so if you like your sushi rich and packed with flavor, you'll probably enjoy it. If you prefer a more simple or traditional style, it might feel like a bit much. The overall vibe was pretty relaxed and low-key, which made it easy to sit and enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. read more

Arigato Sushi Review Arigato Sushi had a mix of highs and lows during our visit. The tempura sushi roll had good flavor, but the texture and construction made it hard to enjoy fully. The roll tended to fall apart, and it was difficult to get a solid grip with chopsticks, which took away from the experience. On the positive side, the chicken teriyaki plate was amazing--great flavor, cooked perfectly, and easily the highlight of the meal. The quality of that dish really stood out. Overall, Arigato Sushi delivered some strong flavors, but the sushi roll could benefit from better structure and presentation to match the quality of the teriyaki. read more

I've been coming here since college but I had a very unfortunate experience the other day. I ordered a to go order for two rolls, one roll more expensive than the other. Once I picked up my order, I looked inside when I returned to my car and saw I was given two of the cheaper rolls. When I returned to the restaurant, the woman at the counter blamed me for the mistake. She stated "you need to check check check." Food was tasty but this ensured I won't return. read more

Spicy Johnny, Golden Gate, Yummy Yummy and steamed gyoza will always be my favorite here. Tonight I brought my Husband here to try the sushi since he's always said I never brought him here. I server was wonderful and attentive and the ambience is always the same family oriented if needed dinner night with the girls if wanted or a date night with the boo if desired. Haven't been to Arigato in a long time. It was definitely how I remembered it. We will be back soon as always 50% off your roll with good customer service. read more

Looking for a sushi bar near me so this was a couple miles down the road came by to give it a try. Very busy place, clean, nicely and has my favorite with the sushi bar in the middle of the room so you can see the chefs in the fish and you can see the cuts of fish to choose from. So I sat at the bar alone, which is what I like to do, ordered me a Sapporo and started with the three-piece three fish sashimi. Super fresh, melt in your mouth, just exactly what I was looking for. I was craving tempura vegetables, but I knew if I ordered it it would probably be a huge dish. so I asked my server Alexandra and she confirmed it was pretty big so I passed and I'm glad I did. Only because I ordered the tuna Trio roll, which was super rich, full of fish, had crunch, and the last piece had tempura shrimp sticking out, but what a fabulous roll. So many choices on the menu to choose from it's always difficult for me to find one that's most all raw fish, maybe some avocado, a little cream, cheese, cucumber all the things that combine with tuna and salmon for flavor balm. The texture was amazing and another decision that was exactly what I was looking for, and I was stuffed. Amazing service, great atmosphere, Sushi chefs were spot on and busy, which is what I look for. Very happy I came here. Highly recommend. read more

Let me start off by they offer 50% off rolls, ANY roll can be deep fried and they have soooo many options you're sure to find something you like. They were pretty busy for obvious 50% off reasons but then I realized the flavor was another reason why. Although busy they did not have us waiting long for anything. It was clean and the waitress was perfect. read more

I have been here on and off for so many years. The service is always 5-5 I love the look of the inside it's great for just a day/night out or special event. I have family delivered on one side of town. I lived on the other so we decided we're gonna meet in the middle and I always have loved it here. Food is just so good cost is great as well and it's just so well lit inside, but not overly bright I seen that somebody had got the barbecue albacore last time I was here and I told myself I was definitely gonna have to order it. Next time I came. This was five out of five so delicious. I also ordered some rolls and I know the name of it. I cannot think of, but it was really good. I will add photos. All the sushi rolls have always been good here I would be interested to try their scallops. read more

The rolls had a different kind of sauce on them I never tasted before they was fresh but I should've asked about the sauce on top. Everything was good the sauce totally made it taste a lot different. I will request no sauce next time because it clashed with everything else even the garlic.The waitress Mindy took my order and was very patient with explaining the best rolls or the top sellers. Her patience was very well appreciated because of such a large selection of rolls I was totally confused from the large variety. This is a Japanese casual ambiance setting here. Because I saw them putting up the chairs I took my order to go. read more

I'll admit, I was skeptical when I walked in and saw the neon lights and heard the club music bumping. But I'm a sucker for a list of vegan sushi rolls, so we rolled on. Was it fancy? Nope. The veggie rolls (I counted 9) were simple but filling, and I liked how they weren't smothered in sauce. They were also reasonably priced given their size. I had The Vegan and Futo Maki and both were good. Service was friendly, so I'd go back if craving veggie sushi and in the area. Pro tip: Get that spicy edamame! read more

We came here with a larger group for our friend's birthday. They don't take reservations, but our friend arrived early and let them know how many people we'd have in our party and as our group arrived we waited in the front until they had seating for us. We had about 16 in our group and we ended up on a back wall all in a row. The staff was friendly and got us all water to start and then we places our orders. They were able to split the check up to 6 or 8 times- four of us at our table put our orders on the same tab to make it easier for others in the group to split. They offer a lot of different things on the menu and advertise all rolls are 50% off. It's interesting that they always offer 50% off rolls instead of just showing what the "special" price is and the only thing I can think of is that they want customers to know it's still quality sushi- so even though it's a $15 roll after the 50% off it's worth $30. I ended up ordering the Shrek roll ($11.75 after discount) and the Pretty Coconut ($11.25 after discount), my husband got the bento box ($25.50) and then we shared chicken karaage with the table ($12.50). The appetizer was a generous size, very shareable with four people. The sauce that came with it was also delicious. The chicken itself was flavorful and could even make a nice meal on its own. The bento box was a great deal, it came with salad, miso soup, and three items from a highlighted menu. My husband opted for the ton katsu, sashimi and albacore sushi. He ended up sharing his salad with me and was still really full afterward. The Shrek roll was super unique, it had spicy crab, spicy tuna, soft shell crab, avocado, garlic pesto, unagi and special sauce. I loved the use of garlic pesto and I would definitely order this one again. The Pretty Coconut roll had deep fried shrimp, crab meat, avocado, eel, coconut, special sauce and unagi sauce. This roll was also really tasty and I enjoyed the addition of coconut. The food was great, but wish they had given us pitchers of water. Early on they refilled our water but towards the middle and end we had empty water glasses. I ended up stealing my husband's water since he had beer. As the night went on they got busier and it was definitely a spot for all types of groups. Friends, dates, families and celebrations like ours. They also have plenty of parking in their lot and many people were grabbing take out. read more

This is by far my fav sushi spot in Sacramento. Service is always amazing and even when they are extremely busy, which is almost always. Food is always great and comes in a timely fashion. The ambiance is nice and vibes are always good. They have a ton of tv for the sports fanatics, but also has date night vibes with the dim lighting. read more

Lots of parking. Extremely nice and attentive staff. Ambiance is clean. No area for a large group though. Food was pretty decent. Nothing fancy, but definitely above your usual. The fish was fresh. I liked that there were different types of rolls that were more unique than the typical. My favorite was the salmon sashimi. I would highly recommend the chef's choice if you have the appetite. It definitely did not disappoint. This was not my first time here and won't be my last. read more

We have gone to this sushi restaurant multiple times over the last 10 years. They are in the Arden area and have 50% off a lot of their rolls which makes it a good deal which is why we stop by when we're in the area usually going to the mall. Inside the restaurant, it's always a dim lighting and there's a lot of seating for all different sizes of parties and there's TVs and the sushi bar is right in the middle and it is really cute inside and the staff are always friendly. I wish I could give this rating a 3.5 but I can't do that so for now I'm going to go with the 3 star only because I feel over the years the food just either isn't as good or the rolls have so much inside of them that they are huge and they fall apart, and I can't fit even one roll inside of my mouth. we've tried a lot of the different appetizers and some are good. Most recently we had stuffed jalapeños that were supposed to be deep-fried, but the jalapeños weren't really cooked at all and still very crunchy. And the cream cheese filling tasted just like that, no other flavor. Also, we've started going to a lot of other sushi restaurants and have experienced a lot of other different locations so this being one of the first places we used to go to that could play a factor. I still would recommend trying this place out. They have so many different roles that it's quite possible and one of them could be one that you really enjoy! It's worth trying, and I will say that there salad has the best dressing I've ever had! read more

We were excited to try arigato sushi for the first time, we were seated immediately our server did come over and introduced himself. My friend said she will like lemon with her water and he'll be back shortly to take our order. He took closer to 25 minutes to come back and then he took our order incorrectly. We also didn't get any refills for our water. After back to back mistake we were over it. Maybe don't give servers a lot of tables if they aren't able to handle it I understand that restaurants can have off nights, and the staff may have been overwhelmed, but the lack of follow-up or acknowledgment made it hard to overlook. We didn't feel taken care of, which was disappointing for a first visit. We may give it another shot in the future, but for now, I hope this feedback helps improve service for other guest read more

Been here a few times now and it's safe to say this sushi place is my top 2! Basically all the rolls are 1/2 off and great prices, big and delicious rolls , soups and appetizers. The inside was very spacious and the vibes were great! Our server and chef was really quick getting the first round of rolls to the table also. Definitely try this spot out read more

This just happens to be my honeys favorite sushi spot so we come here often. Rolls are 50% off like most sushi spots in Sacramento so about $11 each after discount. BF ordered some spicy rolls, TNT and FIREFLY. I really appreciate the perfect temperature of each dish. Service is as fast as can be. Seating for 2 is usually no wait. Deducted a star for the rib eye which was chewy gristle. So this time around I opted for the chicken breast - Combo meals come with a salad, soup and rice so it's worth the price of $22. We also ordered hot green tea, no sweetener although they include it on the side. This was hot af so be careful handling this. Ambiance is clean, modern with flat screens on the walls playing sports games so perfect if you don't want to miss a game while out eating with your honey. read more

Service was almost non existent. Usually service is ok here, the restaurant was not busy at all. We were seated, waited 20 minutes to take our order. Placed the order and a couple of guys were seated beside us, they waited 20 minutes also and were never given a chance to order. Not once did the waiter even come by or give them any water. It was pretty bad seeing them walk out. We received our food, never asked if we wanted to order any drinks, not once did they ask if everything was ok. Had to leave the table to pay since they didn't even provide the check. We could've walked out and they probably wouldn't even notice. read more

My buddy insisted I try this place for lunch, and it didn't disappoint. The hiyayakko (cold tofu) hit the spot on a warm day - though I'll remember to ask for no bonito flakes next time as a vegetarian. What stood out: Lively, fun atmosphere perfect for casual dining Quick, friendly service that accommodated requests Excellent value for quality sushi While veggie options are limited, the overall experience makes this a solid choice for no-fuss Japanese. Pro tip: Don't miss their perfectly chilled sake selection! read more

Arigato Sushi - Philly Roll, Lion King, and Spicy Shrimp Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

I don't hand out 10/10 ratings easily, but Arigatos earned it. My in-laws took my husband and me there for my birthday, and we went all in with the Chef's Choice B. It was a masterpiece--fresh, perfectly balanced, and so good that even my husband, who usually taps out on sashimi, couldn't get enough. Only issue? The table wasn't big enough to handle the greatness of that platter. One side dipped lower than the other, and we had to keep an eye on our sushi. But let's be real--when the only "flaw" is too much amazing sushi, you know it's next level. Service? On point. Fish? Flawless. Experience? Unmatched. If you're looking for top-tier sushi without breaking your bank, this is where you go. read more

In the world of sushi, Arigato is not at the top, but overall, as a Japanese restaurant, it's not bad. They are known for their half off sushi rolls and fun atmosphere. We came on a Friday evening and staff wouldn't seat us until majority of our party was here. Once seated, we ordered appetizers of BBQ Albacore ($21), Spicy Edamame ($8.95), Gyoza ($8.95), and Garlic Salmon ($21). I enjoyed the flavor of the spicy edamame and the gyoza was good. The BBQ Albacore was pretty good with the special sauce and the garlic salmon was the best. The garlic salmon was served on top of guacamole and would have been better served with some chips. For sushi rolls, we tried the Lucky 7 ($11.75), the Lion King ($10.75), the Galleria ($11.48), and the Shrek ($11.75). The prices I wrote are the half off price. To me, the rolls that had more raw fish were more enjoyable - Galleria and Lucky 7. Actually, all of the rolls were more or less good, but didn't stand out as exceptional. We also ordered the Beef Udon ($18.95), but it was not a lot of noodles for the price. We asked to order additional noodles for the udon, but management denied our request. We also ordered some Bento boxes and mochi ice cream for the kids, which they seemed to enjoy. Our server was really nice and provided great service. Although the fish isn't the best quality for sushi, the rolls are okay and not too expensive. Arigato is a good place for inexpensive sushi rolls and late night eats. read more

When I lived in this area, I was within one mile of "Arigato Sushi". And considering the sushi fanatic that I am, that can do some serious damage to my wallet. However, I now live in the suburbs and have only frequented this place a couple of times in the past 10 years (as of 2023). So why not give them a new review as well as my most recent experience at one of the most consistently delicious sushi restaurants in the Sacramento area. Located directly on busy Howe Ave. and just a little bit south of Arden Way in the heart of the Arden/Arcade neighborhood of Sacramento, Arigato (which means "thank you" in Japanese), has been running strong in this area dating back to the early 2000's. Much of the demographics here are predominantly a younger clientele as well as quite a bit of Sac State students and people visiting around the Arden Fair Mall (which is just a few short blocks away). During my most recent visit which was on the afternoon of Sunday 9/3/2023 at around 4:15pm. This parking lot has always been convenient but can get quite full during the busier nights and weekends. There is no outdoor seating but this place does house a fairly spacious inside dining area. From the outside looking in, you can't see anything with the heavily tinted windows. But once inside, this place has a very modern look to it with numerous changes and upgrades over the years. One thing that this restaurant has always offered (which is the case for other sushi restaurants) is that all of their rolls are 50% off. I've always seen this as a trick to get you to order since many sushi rolls are around the $20 price range (bringing it down to $10) but still far less than some of their competitors; mainly "Mikuni" which charges a few bucks more. Aside from that, this place carries quite a bit of non-sushi items, and a full alcohol lineup including beer, sake, wine, and spirits. I ended up ordering a couple of appetizers, "Steamed Edamame" and "Steamed Gyoza" and for my rolls of choice, I went with the "Chicken Teri Roll" (chicken, avocado, cucumber, & Unagi sauce) and the "Fair Oaks Roll" (deep-fried shrimp, avocado, Unagi sauce, & masago). Service is quick and attentive while my server made sure my iced water was always topped off. The appetizers arrived in just a few minutes while the sushi was brought to be shortly thereafter. Overall, the taste, consistency, and flavor of everything is above average. I've had some meals in the past where the rice was not moist but for the most part, my experience here has had more positives than negatives. I think what this location has going for it is their generous hours of operation being opened 7 days a week from 11:30am to 10:30pm. I remember in the past when this place was opened past midnight but they've done away with that. They do have two other locations to serve you; in Gold River and Roseville. With that said and done, I am giving the Howe Ave "Arigato Sushi" a respectable four star rating. read more

Came with a group of 4. In my opinion, closer to a 3.5 star meal, but rounding to 4. We ordered: -sake bomb pitcher: good to share with a group -spicy edamame: perfect amount of spice, not too saucey -ika ring: wouldn't recommend, tasted more like fish paste rings -3 item bento (beef teriyaki, sashimi, tonkatsu) Staff forgot to give salad and soup, so I had to ask for it. Not a fan of the tonkatsu. Too thin and overcooked. Sashimi was ok, would have been nice to get other cuts of fish besides tuna. -stuffed mushroom: good Rolls: james bond, double spicy, galleria, maui, lucky 7. On the menu it does mention they are 50% off, so the rolls are on the cheaper side. Lots of seating inside. Parking in the plaza is easy to get as well. read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews but I feel I have no choice especially when this place used to be my jam. This is specifically regarding an online order for sunomono & 2 sushi rolls. The "sunomono" was sliced cucumbers & a side of the vinegar mix that I guess Im supposed to mix? I have ordered this before from many places (including here) & have never had it given like this but hey I guess when your order is ready in 8 mins they have to cut corners.

We have been coming to Arigatos for decades now- it's one of our favorite spots for sushi rolls. Recently we went for lunch and were charged a group tax of $16.50 in addition to our charge, tax and tip. It was 5 adults and a 1-yr. old in our party. We asked the server and he explained that it's a new charge being added for parties of 6 or more ... we also noticed sushi roll prices increased. I understand charging a fee for bigger parties but for 5 adults... ?! I'll take my business elsewhere here forward. read more
