The highlight of this place is the atmosphere. The plates, chairs, and decor give it a very slick and modern vibe. Went around dinner time on a weekday and it seems they only had one sushi chef working. Took quite a bit of time for our plates to come out. Sushi in general was just ok to me. I could taste that some of the fish was fresh, while some of the fish tasted not so fresh. read more

This place exceeded my expectations. I've been to many Japanese sushi restaurants. But the quality here is good. It is a decent sized restaurant that can accommodate groups. The staff are very kind and helpful. The food was made very timely. My favorite was the mix tempura and the double toro roll. The quality of the fish was very good as it tasted fresh. The presentation of the plates were also very pleasing. The price is worth it to me. The overall look of the place is aesthetic and clean. I definitely am excited to try this place again. read more

One of the best places in Elk Grove for sushi. The place is ambient and not super loud. The place looks very clean. The server there recommended the truffle hamachi and omg it was sooo good 10/10. I also ordered the super combo and the nigiris were very good. The Ebisu roll was good but the sauce that they used was on the saltier side 8/10. I would recommend this place! read more

Nice atmosphere, beautiful interior decor, walked in and got seated immediately around 5pm on a weekday. wasn't sure what to get, but was eyeing the specials on the board. Order two items from the board: the double toro roll and the eel clay pot. Also got the cucumber appetizer and the EBISU roll. The cucumber came out first, it was slightly pickled and delicious. Although it was refreshing, the skin was way too thick--could have used cucumber with thinner skin or peel off a bit. The double toro was delightful. Who doesn't want a mouth full of fatty tuna!?. Tuna on tuna on tuna! Highly recommended. Really wanted to like the ebisu, it was basically two simple rolls--shrimp tempura and crab deep fried cut in half. For a roll that was named after the restaurant, it didn't live up to the hype. The clay pot came out last, it was piping hot and topped with an egg, rice was perfectly chard like how it would be in a clay pot. Unagi, sauce and rice compliment each other well--and the cherry on top was the runny egg, altogether, it was pure bliss. My only complaint would probably be the price. read more

Don't come here at all. Called before to ask if they have room for 8 plus a toddler and they said yes. Stated we would be there in 15mins and they said table would be ready. We arrived and table was not ready. We found out from another waitress that they had given our table away. There was several tables open in which they could've simply asked a party who just sit down to move. Instead, when this was brought up to the manager, he was super unapologetic and stated we just can't call for a table. Rather than having a solution, he was super defensive and stated it's not his problem. Others were there waiting on their orders for over an hour. Don't come to this place. If they don't take reservations, they should specify that. Service could be improved. read more

A friend of mine recommended this sushi spot in EG. It reminds me of mikuni but I would say ebisu would come second. Good flavors. Sushi was good. I was looking forward to the double toro roll but it was a 3/5 for me. I think it didn't really wow me. The stir fry chicken udon did not disappoint. My husband, friends and daughter loved it. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Great sushi. Reasonable price. Service a tad slow. Not a Mikunis vibe-more mature Asian clientele that don't appreciate loud conversation. Just be forewarned. Again, if you like more "vibe," try Mikunis. This atmosphere is more of a public library vibe. read more

The best sushi in town. Great service too! My wife and I were looking for a new sushi bar. This place was recommended from one of her friends. The sushi bar itself is fancy and made from specialty wood. The sushi bar chefs are very creative and willing to make whatever we asked for. Each of them brings something unique to this place! I'm a tekka maki lover and their blue fin tuna is outstanding. Sean is an artist at making sushi dishes that should be displayed in an art museum! Daisy, the owner is always friendly and we always feel like VIP's. In the past two months we have been here at least 10 times. We highly recommend this place. Everyone that works at here is nice and goes out of their way!!! read more

My friend and I picked up a few rolls for our at-home girls night and they were so yummy!! It was my first time trying Ebisu, so I had her pick out the rolls and we ended up with the Stone Lake and their special. I'm not sure what was in the special roll but it had soft shell crab and it was soooo good! The Stone Lake was interesting because they park fried the eel and I've never seen that before. Lol it was good though! The rolls were pretty big portions too and I loved the little bambu style to go box they packed it in! I'm really looking forward to coming back for a dine in experience. read more

First of all, when I arrived, I detected the most jaw dropping, disgusting, horrid, vile smell. Along the lines of sewage and poop. The service was rude and I felt like they didn't want us there.

We went here at noon for lunch and the service was good. There was no wait for us to sit down. They asked us for tea or water. The tea is extra cost $2.5. It was served in a pretty tea pot and cups. It would be nice to know ahead of time that tea cost extra because this is our first time going here so we didn't know. The fish is fresh. The ratio of fish to rice is good and come with good sauce on top. The rice bowl with eel portion is smaller than expected. The price is on the higher end. For a party of 2 our bill is $72 without tip. The toro role was recommended to us but it was my least favorite roll because it has wasabi. If you like to have a kick then this roll will do it. For me. It was too much. The ambiance is nice and relaxing. There is 1 big room for a big party. read more

I haven't visited EBISU since my wife passed away in March. EBISU was our favorite sushi restaurant on the planet. Tonight, I craved the flavors of sushi on the highest of quality...I was not denied. I went with the specialty of the sushi makers talent. The chef prepared my dish with the care of an artist working in oils and canvas preserving the texture of light and dark. Words fail to describe the flavors exploding in my mouth and tongue. Delicate yet complex. A culinary height of taste. I tried to explain to my sushi master that I could not eat what he created. I didn't want to eat the Mona Lisa. One more item. I am a big fan of Sake. As I've sometimes said "so much sake, so little time. I was introduced to funaguchi Sake. Carefully crafted to be savored cold. I indulged myself in a can of this libation to take home. EBUSU continues to evolve; not happy to stay "safe." The food, serve and creativity are the foundation of this restaurant. read more

Service is ok Ambiance is nice Food is good Tuna texture is good like jelly Down side: false advertisement for the price paid This restaurant doesn't offer real crab. Only Soft shell crab is real.

Maybe they should state clearly that they do not use REAL CRAB on the menu read more

EBISU was so good! I was greeted upon entry and seated right away. I came on a Friday night and it wasn't busy at all. The staff were really friendly and recommended some rolls when I wasn't sure which ones to choose. I was surprised at how quickly my food came out. I ended up getting the fried gyoza, Sacramento roll, Hokkaido roll, and Tiger roll. Out of the three rolls, my favorite one was the Hokkaido roll. I will definitely be back! read more

This was an alternative to another place we planned on trying for dinner; we're so glad we ended up here. We dined in on a Friday night around 6:30. It was fully packed, with people waiting outside. I definitely recommend calling ahead for reservations. They have a large "specials" menu board near the front of the restaurant with changing, off-menu options -- everything was tempting! Since it was our first visit, we tried a few of the house rolls. Drinks: The Sapporo was ice cold and really fresh. We also got a bottle of our favorite yuzu sake. Appetizers: stuffed mushrooms were delicious -- similar to mikunis Flaming Shrooms but more savory-smokey. The portion is smaller as well, which is perfect, and they're already cut in half so they're easy to pick up. Food: We had the Ebisu roll, the Volcano roll, and the Elk Grove Special roll. The Ebisu and Volcano are flash-fried and not heavily battered; the Ebisu was served in 4 vertically-cut pieces, about the equivalent of 2 traditional roll pieces per piece. It was definitely my favorite of the 2 cooked rolls! The sauces it came played with were phenomenal as well. We ended on the Elk Grove Special roll, which was more traditional and raw. This was probably my personal favorite because it was simple but really flavorful, and the fish was very fresh. Place: The restaurant aesthetic is really clean and modern, and the serving ware was upscale and contemporary. They take time to plate every item and their presentation is visually appealing. It seems like a small perk, but it really adds to the dining experience and I would choose this place over a chain for my next celebration. Service: Our waitress was very nice, but very busy and spread thin so we didn't have much interaction. It's definitely a family owned place and I like seeing (presumably the owners?) Intermingling with customers and the casual conversation made it feel really welcoming, I didn't feel rushed out and everyone was really nice and all tables were continuously kept clean. All in all a great first experience, will definitely be coming back! You get what you pay for. 10/10 recommend trying this place over Mikuni for high quality and that mom and pop restaurant feel. read more

Food is ok, but service needs significant improvement. Similar to Kiyomi's review, whom I do not know, the lady at the counter (I assume the owner?) obviously favors people she knows. She helped a family that came in after me first, which is annoying. She should be helping customers on a first come, first serve basis. If they're friends, they should be more understanding of it being busy and her not being able to help them as much as new customers. FOOD: - Spicy Edamame: good. I've had better, but I would get it again. - Tempura Udon: dashi broth was rather fishy tasting. Tempura sauce spilled everywhere, soaking the bag and even got on the car floor mats. It was a mess. They need to make sure lids are secured. And they could give more. - Tonkatsu: dry! It also says that it comes with salad, but it came with sautéed veggies instead. They were seasoned well, but I was disappointed that I didn't get what was stated on the menu and no notification of the substitution. - TanTan Ramen: tasted different than other tan tan ramens I've had, definitely spicier. Don't order it if you can't handle spice. It was supposed to come with nori (dried seaweed) but instead came with romaine lettuce. This was another disappointment, especially since the charge so much for nori as an add on. Also, Napa cabbage seems more appropriate to put in ramen but I guess they at least tried to replace the "veggie"?? I will say that they did give a generous portion, so I'll definitely have leftover. It felt like it was worth the ~$14 price point. Food wasn't good enough to make me feel like dealing with their poor customer service is worth it, at least anytime soon. read more

So happy there's a new sushi place in Elk Grove! I've only tried this place once but I think it may be my new favorite I made a to go order and ordered the double toro roll, scallop nigiri, yellowtail nigiri & salmon belly nigiri. Everything was so good! Fish was fresh and the flavors combined in the double toro roll mixed very well. When I went to pick up my order, there was only one person serving and handling the front but he was so nice and you can tell he was really being attentive to everyone he was helping. Would def come back to dine in. Highly recommend if you want some good sushi! read more

Wanted to try this place out a few times before giving a proper review. I'm very glad I did since the quality has been excellent and consistent. Servers are friendly and dishes come out in a timely manner. The nigiri has an awesome fish to rice ratio, it allows you to fully savor the flavor of the fish. The quality is fresh. The lion king has delicious and fatty-cooked salmon, but lacks a bit of flavor. However, the double toro and elk grove special are absolutely divine. The flavor melts on your tongue and genuinely made me miss the taste after I finished eating. I would dine in just to eat those two rolls over and over again. The rolls are unique and stand out compared to local sushi restaurants here in EG. Prices are worth it for the quality. This is my now favorite sushi spot in Elk Grove! read more

First time trying this place and I hate giving bad reviews to local places but this experience was upsetting. We waited for a table for a little and we're standing because we didn't know the table in the "waiting area" was for anyone to use. Then when the waitress was seating us the owner was telling her uh are you sure and stopping us from going to the seat but we did then get seated. She should've talked to the waitress after we got seated but oh well. It took some time to get menus and water and the owners friend got menus way before us (they got seated after us). Once we got the menus she made the excuse that was her friend and he was her old server and that it was a soft opening still and there aren't enough waiters. I completely understand low/new staff and some wait times but please don't give priority to your friends when there are people ahead of them. She also wasn't the nicest when explaining and we were just wanting menus right when we sat down. Also, if it's still soft opening I would recommend having a sign up stating that it is. The owner said that it was only open 10 days but on yelp here it shows 16 days lol. Even with them still learning the waitresses were all so nice! It was a slow paced place but with it being new I get it. Unfortunately, I had to wait over 40 minutes for my sushi roll and was the last of my party to get my food. Everyone in my party finished their food before I got mine so I just asked for it to be packed togo. I guess the owner forgot to communicate that so I ended up getting the roll on the plate after I wanted it togo so I had to ask a box. Pretty upsetting to not get any updates until I asked and a lot of other people got their food before I got my roll. The owner also offered another party an appetizer and beer for waiting but we didn't get anything. She was so nice to everyone else in the building but we were the only party she wasn't talking to. The food was alright, nothing super special but for a local place it's alright. If it was faster and the owner was nicer it would have been fine but it wasn't. read more

Came in for lunch and it wasn't super busy. The inside is very nice, neat, and spacious. Started off with the sizzling albacore, and ended with the ebisu roll and the Hokkaido roll. The sushi rolls were pretty good, but a bit more expensive compared to other places. The Ebisu roll will take a bit longer to make! I think one room for improvement would be their menu. It's a piece of paper that they reuse so the ones we got were a bit dirty. read more

Hard to believe this is in Elk Grove. Feels like a trendy city restaurant while still offering exquisite Japanese food. Ebisu is overall a stunning place. The food is delicious and dish presentations are nicer than most restaurants in Elk Grove. The interior is elegant and spacious with two areas for bigger parties. I found the classical music playing inside to be enjoyable yet unexpected for eating sushi. I have only tried a few sushi items and enjoyed them all. Each dish having tasteful presentation and quality. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their menu. I should acknowledge that I do miss Flaming Grill at this location but I'm happy Ebisu is here. Outdoor seating seems lackluster and hopefully is just a work in progress right now. read more

My family and I are trying new local restaurants and was really looking forward to trying this place. We tried today and ended up walking out after sitting for 30 minutes without any acknowledgment. After about 20 minutes I flagged down the busboy and asked for water and for our server. He brought us water and said he'd find out who our server was and send them over. After another 10 minutes I approached the hostess station and asked if the gentlemen was the owner. He said yes. I proceeded to give him feedback that my family and I had been sitting for roughly 30 minutes without any acknowledgment. He told me California law requires him to give his server breaks. I responded that 4 other tables were sat after us, greeted and orders taken. He then told me he was too busy to deal with me. I grabbed my family and left. I will never go back. Granted, they were busy but an apology goes a long way. Terrible customer service! read more
