    Teriyaki Chicken and Gyoza!
    Anthony N.

    Banzai Sushi is my favorite spot in the Greenhaven area for teriyaki chicken. It's one of those places we keep going back to because it's just always solid. We usually order ahead of time, and the food is almost always ready right when they say it will be. That alone makes life easier when you're hungry and just want to grab your food and head home. The portions are great, the food is always fresh, and the teriyaki chicken never disappoints. It's one of those meals that hits the spot every time. Another big plus is that it's close to home, which makes it even harder to say no when we're deciding where to eat. Good food, good portions, and super convenient. Can't beat it.

    This has been our "Go To" sushi restaurant in Sacramento since we moved here 11 years ago. The various sushi dishes are always fresh and made with care. We go to sushi restaurants in other cities but we find Banzai to be superior for the quality. The party trays are a huge hit for a big get together. A crowd always appears when the platter shows up !

    Our neighborhood spot for sushi! This place has decent quality and a steady stream of business. The chefs here are always incredibly sweet and polite. We love sitting at the bar. The happy hour is pretty good here with varying tiers of prices for a lot of options. This place is good if you're wanting to satisfy that sushi craving and don't want to spend exorbitant amounts of money. I don't really have stand outs of things to order - just order what you know you'd like. The fried/tempura options are also pretty good too.

    After my last visit here, I wasn't sure if I'd return. I've been a fan of this place for years, but my last visit just wasn't good. I'm happy to say that this time, things have improved considerably. The quality of the fish is better. The rolls were improved. And, they have a wonderful new app for ordering takeout. - sesame chicken: this has always been a solid choice. Just nicely fried chicken with a yummy teriyaki sauce. - general roll: this has been a longtime favorite of mine. They went a little heavy on the teriyaki sauce, but it was great otherwise. - extreme roll: a good roll. But again with the teriyaki sauce. A bit too much of it. - cherry blossom roll: this was good. It could use a little more texture (no shrimp tempura nor cucumber) but still a tasty roll. But again with the teriyaki sauce. So, while I don't think the rolls are quite the same as they used to be, they're much better than my last meal here. I wish they didn't put so much teriyaki sauce on all the rolls that I ordered since it kinda overwhelmed the other flavors. In fact, I don't recall there being teriyaki sauce on so many of their rolls. In any case, I'm happy to say that Banzai is back on my list of sushi places.

    Tonkatsu don and spicy killer roll and kaiju madness roll.

    I ordered some sushi and a main dish to go. I was quite happy with the food and the service. When I entered the restaurant, I was immediately greeted with a smile. The interior was cozy and actually made me wish I had dined in instead. I ordered the spicy killer and the kaiju madness roll. They were both great but the spicy killer was slightly better. I'd definitely get that roll again. The fish was great quality too. I also ordered the tonkatsu Don. It was huge and very flavorful. The meat was juicy too. Overall, I'd definitely try this place again. Great food and great service.

    Favorite sushi place in south sac. Prices are amazing. Sushi is always fresh. Kianna is the best waitress. Will always be back.

    Yummy neighborhood sushi joint. There's never been a wait when I've been and staff is always super friendly. I come here when I need a sushi fix and other sushi places are out of reach. It's a no frills type of place. I would come more often if I lived a bit close to greenhaven/pocket area.

    Great food! Great Service! Love coming here and usually, its not too crowded. Love sitting at the bar.

We sat at the bar area so, we didn't see how it was being made. My husband and I thought they probably forgot about our order and was sitting out for awhile.

Butterr-y tuna. Different textures bursting with different flavors. Drank the leftover sauce! Lol. Tuna seemed fresh. Ngiri Mix $48+ (2 Orders) - We decided to give this another try. This time they sat us where all the chefs were making the dishes, so I finally saw how they make ngiri. There is 1 guy who makes it and I didn't like how he would make the ngiris but was not served asap. He would make about 3 sets at a time or some thing like that. The time from when it's made and time where it's served is too long. That is why the fish is warm by the time it got to us. Also, we didn't see a fridge where he was making it but it could be underneath around his leg area. I'm a little disappointed. From all the sushi documentary's I've watched, this is not how it's suppose to be. I regret ordering the Ngiri Mix again cause the fish was warm. Same like last time! I read other reviews where people have said the quality is going down. Even though, I am not a regular here, I can kinda tell that it is. My favorite are ngiri's and it doesn't beat Kura's ngiri's right now. Kru just give's bigger portions but the quality of Kura's is superb! Shiozake Salmon $26+ Springtime congee, furikake, truffled English peas, basil oil, and pickled radish. - DELICIOUS. Crispy salmon skin, tender and butter-y salmon, congee does have a springtime taste and is the perfect texture. Every ingredient complimented each other. Would love to squeeze a little lemon to cut out the fatty taste at the end. From our experience, all the specials have been a hit! Ibérico Kashira Kushiyaki $16+ Den miso tare, basil-mint pistou, grilled lemon - SO-SO. Pork was tender but was wayyy too salty. Kru's ambiance is dark, chill environment with lights shining down on where it matters like the food and selfie pics lol. It can get loud when it get's busy. Mos def chiq and aesthically pleasing. Every little detail from the ceiling to the floor, table setting, mural, bathroom, and even menus were all BEAUTIFUL! SPECIAL SHOUT OUT: To all the resto staff that helped us for both nights. You guys are amazing! Friendly, awesome smiles and knowledgeable. Thank you for your top notch hospitality.

I will say my only note is that we ordered the appetizers first and actually waited to order our mains in hopes that the appetizers would come out first. Instead my mains came out before the appetizers and then my dates came after the appetizers came out. Everything was delicious but I hope that isn't a common habit as it made the meal feel a bit rushed and the waitresses were commenting about how much we ordered and if we could eat it all... everyone was very nice though. A little cold in the actual restaurant but makes sense to keep the fish cold.

On this particular visit we started with 2 different sushi tacos-We had the tuna version and the salmon version-each priced at $11.00. Now I could write a novel explaining the virtues of these culinary creations but I will keep it short-the tuna and the salmon tacos are such the perfect bite-well balanced-well seasoned-surprisingly heavy in the hand while being light to the taste-it's truly been my favorite new food item discovery of 2026. Next we went with the Stir-Fry Udon and this cost us $16.00. I've described this dish in the past as a dish I could eat every day of my life and would be a very happy person.The flavor and seasonings are flawless,the noodles are cooked perfectly,great chew-a very slurpable noodle for sure. I can easily see why this dish is such a popular item on their menu. This restaurant was given a spot on Yelps Top 100 Places to eat in 2025-nothing in this visit did a thing to show that honor wasn't well deserved.
