OPPs!! I made a wrong turn and ended up at the wrong Sushi place. I was so used to coming here that…read moreI automatically pulled in. We were actually supposed to try my girlfriend's favorite place. I guess next time we'll try her place. This has been the go place for the past couple of years for my girlfriend and I. She lives around the corner so this place is so convenient. They have ample parking as they share a lot with others in the strip mall. If you're lucky you can even get a parking space in-front. We've been lucky once and it was nice. Usually we park down a row. Their hours from 11:30am -8 pm. We usually get there at 11:30am to beat the crowd. Today we arrived around 1pm and we just hit the take out frenzy time. I can't believe how many take out orders they had. They just kept coming. Someone even ordered their hot food tray. The people kept streaming in to pick up their orders. Actual in restaurant guest were down to 3 tables. There had to be around 8 to go orders during the time we were there. It could be due to the storms that were on and off all day. I can't blame people for not wanting to come out. At one time it was pouring buckets. Not just a drizzle or hard rain it was coming down like a garden hose was turned on high. To our happy surprise you can get their lunch special Bento Boxes on the weekend. That was a surprise as most places don't offer their lunch specials on the weekends. The lunch specials are offered from 11:30am-3;30pm. The Bento Box is $15.50 (4-11-26) served with rice, salad and sunomono for dine in only. You can pick any two from a long list of options and unlike some places the Salmon isn't an up charge. I got the Chicken Teriyaki and miso asparagus. The asparagus is blanched and served with a miso based sauce. I find both very tasty. My girlfriend got the Chicken Teriyaki and Sesame Chicken. The Sesame Chicken is battered and fried and topped with the same teriyaki glaze that the chicken Teriyaki is topped with. I tried her Sesame Chicken and it was very good, but I prefer not eating fried foods. The other dish that I really like is the agedashi tofu. That's crispy battered tofu. So tasty. I'm glad we came here for lunch today. It was extremely tasty and just the right amount to fill our tummies and with enough food to take home for a snack later. If you haven't tried Banzai Sushi you should and come for the lunch special. It's the best deal around town.

I also had a side of Oni's breath which was their special spicy sauce. The food is always fresh and the chicken is always full of flavor! I chose to have the works which has some mixed vegetables and it included jalapeños! I chose the sriracha aioli which also added some extra flavor to the bowl. There's plenty of seating inside and some seating outside. The staff is always friendly and makes sure that you have what you need. You would order and pay first and they will bring your food out to you. I still have some other items left to try and I would definitely come back!

The interior was nice and featured a cute Studio Ghibli theme. Stopped by for the first time and tried the umami udon and a BYOB with bacon spam fried rice. Can you tell that I like katsu chicken? The katsu chicken along with the bacon spam fried rice is what you'd expect, It was delicious. The umami udon was also good, but it did get a bit heavy the more I ate. Overall I think it's a good affordable spot. I may be generous giving this place a 5/5, but I can definitely see myself coming back for some more katsu if i'm in the area. The food isn't like mind blowing, but definitely a great choice if you want something kinda quick, good, and affordable.

The fish was exceptional and the Sacramento roll was delicious even though we usually only go for nigiri it was a roll I will definitely be getting when we return.

From atmosphere quality of food and drinks I couldn't be any happier! We will definitely be back for another round.

Had a recent visit for a late lunch after a little wine tasting at OSM…read more What a gem! Food and service were both fantastic. My wife and I ordered three appetizers because we wanted to try so many things. The menu is extensive. We decided on the gyoza, takoyaki, and chicken karrage. Gyoza was delicious and cooked masterfully. Had the perfect sear and crunch on one side, and the remaining wrapper had that nice pillowy bounce it should. Takoyaki was much the same. A light outside crunch and a creamy filling along with a nice chunk of tako. Now I'm a bit of a karrage snob. I really struggle with karrage at most places and I've never really got an order that was authentic 100% to what I remember from Japan. This place nailed it. I will come back here just for this. I really can't describe it fairly. Moist, juicy, savory, etc... We also ordered som Red Tonkatsu Ramen and Katsudon. Generous portions and perfect again. Really impressed. Place is clean with a nice decor and there is plenty of parking. I strongly recommend this place. Hope to do some updates as we try the many other menu items.

I've been to Karai twice! I wish I had written a review the first time, but never got around to it,…read moreso now here it is! I came here with a friend and wanted to come here partly because I remembered the fish being very fresh and presentation being nice. We came on a weekday evening and there was two other tables here. It is a smaller restaurant in terms of space, but clean and modern appearing. The server was very nice and they offered complimentary items including miso soup, salad, and a generous scoop of ube ice cream. We ordered two rolls (sea steak roll and happy lemon roll) and a large sashimi. Large sashimi - fish was very fresh, there was a variety, they were thick cut slices. Presentation was pretty. It had a dried bamboo slice with "karai" burnt into it and two little lucky cat figurines. It had the shredded radish or something as the bed, shisho leaves, and seaweed salad. Sea steak roll - I liked the chili oil on here. The chili oil had a depth to it that left a lasting spice on the tongue, more so than the average chili oil. Happy lemon roll - I chose this roll cuz I wanted the lemon taste. Some slices didn't have the lemon on there, but this roll was also heavy on the sauce which was sweet. I didn't really care for this roll as much. Miso soup - had chunks of enoki mushroom stems, otherwise a straightforward soup. Salad - Had baby spring mix but also heavy on the dressing which was a creamy kind (tasted like the happy lemon roll sauce). It was topped off with tortilla strips. Ube ice cream - scoop size was generous, and it came with some whipped cream. It tastes like it was from Gunthers! Ube taste was good. Ice cream was creamy, and not too icy. I really hope Karai sticks around because it wasn't so crowded the times I've now been here!

I've had Karai bookmarked for a while and although I didn't dine in, I still had a really good…read moreexperience with their sushi takeout! I ordered the citrus salmon roll and sacto roll. I love a lemon salmon roll, so I was happy to see the citrus salmon roll on the menu. I appreciate that the salmon was on the thicker side. I do wish there was a more citrus added versus just having some lemon shavings. The sacto roll is more on the unique side since I never had a roll that had chili crunch on it. It was a nice contrast while complimenting the fish. I liked how this roll had shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, salmon, and hamachi. Two rolls was plenty for me to feel full! I definitely will be ordering from here again and hope I get to dine in soon.

How is nobody talking about this place ?!…read more Such amazing food. All the selections are packed with fish and they will heat up the onigiri if you ask! I got three different inari - a corn cheese, spicy mayo salmon, and a garlic ponzu tuna. All were so filling I didn't need a onigiri (but I ate it anyway). They have a combo selection of the inari or just pick each of your own. The Thai tea i got didn't have ice since they kept it cold in the fridge but when I asked for a cup of ice they said no problem. You honestly get more bang for your buck since the one Thai tea gave me two full drinks with the ice! Also saw they had sushi roll options. Everything looked so appetizing and made with love. Service was great and it's very cute inside with plushie mystery bags and cute branding all over. Amazing and I am officially HOOKED! Texting everyone I know to check this place out! MUST TRY !

I truly believe this place is a hidden gem in Sacramento…read more They are located on Freeport Blvd and they are in a small parking lot with a few dedicated parking spaces which cover multiple businesses. This business features Asian-centric snacks including sushi rolls, onigiri, and musubi. I ended up at this place due to hearing about an end of day special where I was able to get multiple items at a discount price of $5.99. I like when this situation presents itself as it allows me to try multiple things at a business at a highly discounted price. The employees at this location weren't overly friendly but the store environment itself is kind of sterile so I feel like the employees energy kind of matches the store energy. This is the kind of store where you walk in and step up to the counter and select what you want out of the display case and then leave, it's not really a place you hang out or sit down at for long periods of time. As far as the quality of the food items. The California Roll I had wasn't that great-was kind of dry but not sure if that's just an end of day thing or a quality ingredient thing. The Onigiri was a total different story-those things were delicious and the kind of snack that makes me happy this shop isn't closer to my home or work because I would get one of those bad boys every day-they were so tasty and filling. Truly hit the spot. Overall I would say I was very happy to find this business and can't wait till my travels bring me back to it so I can get my hands on more of those onigiris as they are truly yummy.
