What made it worse was the service. Once the tip was automatically added, it felt like there was no incentive to actually provide good service. Our server never came back to ask if we needed anything, never checked to see if everything was okay, and basically disappeared. This is exactly why I don't like mandatory gratuities. A tip should reflect the level of service you receive, not be automatically charged regardless of the experience. In my experience, guaranteed tips can lead to lazy service, and unfortunately that's exactly what happened here. I won't be coming back.

Umami Ramen in Folsom is a cozy little spot tucked away in a shopping center, serving up rich,…read moreflavorful ramen with plenty of options to satisfy your cravings. It's the kind of place where a comforting bowl of noodles really hits the spot. I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, and it did not disappoint! The broth was rich, creamy, and packed with a deep, roasted garlic flavor. The tender pork chashu, noodles, mushrooms, and crunchy bean sprouts complemented each other perfectly. Everything came together for a hearty, satisfying bowl. Sometimes all you need is a good bowl of ramen, and this one delivered! The portions are generous, and the combination of flavors and textures makes this a great choice for anyone who enjoys a rich, savory ramen. Definitely worth digging into! Rex Tip: Before heading out, check out the little shop section to on left inside the restaurant! They have a fun selection of Japanese snacks, toys, and even Japanese Pokémon cards. It's a neat little bonus, especially for Pokémon fans and anyone who enjoys discovering unique Japanese treats.

I remembered when they had $5 bowl discount back then and it was packed. :-) The ramens here have been consistently good though the pricing has caught up with other Ramen restaurants in Folsom. When they first opened, it was below $15 for a bowl while other were $17, now it's the same everywhere in Folsom with $17/$18.50 for a bowl. Even though the foods are good, the price increased all around this has reduced my eating out on weekends more. I used to go out eating twice on Sat and Sun but now just cut it in half. This applied to all restaurants in Folsom.

I would have never thought a Japanese restaurant was here. The inside was another story! The inside is decorated with all kinds of Japanese pictures and decor. You definitely felt like you were in a Japanese restaurant. The menu was impressive! Everything had pictures which is so amazing! It was just easier having an idea of what to pick based on looking at the pictures. There were all kinds of sushi rolls, bento boxes, noodles, appetizers and plates. We decided to get the ramen, salmon katsu, and tempura bowl. Food came our really quick. Portions were good and everything we tasted wonderful. It definitely satisfied our craving. The tempura was crispy. The ramen broth was rich and noodles nice and chewy. The bento box came with gyoza, salad, tempura, oranges, miso soup and rice. Service was great. They were attentive, and friendly. Eating with our littles ones is never easy and we appreciated how patient they were with us. We loved the food and hope to come back and try their sushi next!

Sometimes those restaurants that look less-than-inspiring on the outside can be a true hidden…read moretreasure on the inside. This is exactly what I had experienced when I paid a visit to "Akira Sushi" Located directly on Greenback Lane and adjacent to Auburn Blvd in Citrus Heights, this place opened its doors for business back in mid-2024. Since then, they have seen a very respectable amount of positive reviews. As I had previously mentioned, the exterior isn't much to look at as this is a fairly dated strip mall that hasn't received any updates in decades. And to those that remember, this is the same building that "Pho 54" occupied from 2013-2023. During my visit which was the afternoon of Sunday 8/3/2025 at around 5:15pm, I parked directly outside as there were no other cars here. Upon entry, there was one other customer finishing dinner. After being greeted and seated, I was given a menu complete with a cold glass of iced water. I will say that the interior of this place is quite impressive, cozy, and inviting. The distressed wooden tables paired up with the tan-colored walls and unique murals add an upscale look to the overall interior. On a packed evening, this place can comfortably seat around 50 guests. I will say that their menu is fully loaded with pure deliciousness. They offer a huge variety of traditional sushi rolls, custom rolls, Bento boxes, seafood tacos (available in tuna or salmon), Poke bowls, and even ramen for the colder days/evenings. And even a nice variety of beverages including soda, beer, wine, and sake. Since I was dining solo, I decided on the "Sunomomo Salad" which was a cucumber salad w/Ponzu sauce and Bonito flakes. My main dish was their "Napa Valley" roll which uses shrimp tempura, cucumbers, avocado, spicy aioli, unagi sauce, and topped with sesame seeds. My salad was brought out in less than 3 minutes while my sushi arrived just a few minutes later. I will say that everything was very fresh and delicious. The avocado had perfect consistency while the shrimp was made to perfection. In my humble opinion, this was an absolute gem of a roll. All in all, "Akira Sushi" is about as good as it gets for quality sushi in Citrus Heights. They have very respectable hours of operation being open 6 days a week; Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30am-2:30pm / 4:00-8:30pm with extended hours on Fri/Sat while being closed for business on Monday. Service was great as the young lady that waited on me was polite, courteous, and respectful. With a great atmosphere, delicious food, and reasonable prices, I am giving Akira Sushi a unanimous five-star rating.

One thing I really like is that you can customize your bowl exactly how you want it by choosing different broths and your preferred noodle thickness.

If you're looking for authentic ramen in the Roseville area, this is definitely a place I'd recommend.

Today we came to celebrate my son's birthday with a party of seven, and unfortunately the service was noticeably worse than any of our previous visits. It was slow to get our order taken, refills were rarely offered, and overall our server just seemed inattentive and uninterested. I had already decided I was going to leave a smaller tip because of the service, but when the bill arrived, I noticed that gratuity is automatically added for parties of six or more. That honestly made the experience even more frustrating. I really dislike automatic-gratuity policies like this because there's no longer much incentive for the server to provide great service, the tip is guaranteed regardless. Maybe that wasn't the reason for the poor service today, but it certainly felt that way. Great food as always, but for a birthday dinner with a larger party, the service was really disappointing.
