Taco Unagi and Taco Sake
Edward W.

This place is one of the more unique Asian fusion places in Sac. The food aesthetic is there and the flavor is subpar. Our favorite was the Gyu-udon it had the most flavor out of all the ones we had there and it meshed very well together, and it's a highly must try! The takoyaki was lacking the octopus and was very bready, but the flavor is definitely there. Loved the tacos and my favorite was the Sake Taco which was loaded with salmon and was delicious. Not a big fan of the tamogoyaki unagi don as it was very lacking in flavor and it was very bland. The service was very fast and exceptional and our food didn't take very long to arrive and we had a wonderful experience there. The place might be a little small and probably has a maximum capacity of 30 people, but the food there was very unique and would definitely come back for different items next time!

Tamagoyaki Unagi Don, Takoyaki, and Sushi Tacos
Grace Y.

Been here a few times and Engawa Fusion never disappoints! My favorite dish is their Tamagoyaki Unagi Don (eel) as it tastes very similar to what I had in Japan. Their takoyaki is also pillowy soft and a great appetizer to share. The sushi tacos are beautiful, but can be a little tricky to eat. Our waiter was attentive and came by multiple times to ask how everything was. Highly recommend any of their drinks. There's a seasonal menu that changes. The art on their menus is beautiful! Big props to the artist. The interior is clean and aesthetic. They have a small parking lot, but usually there isn't much difficulty to finding parking.

I was captivated by the curry udon, and thought it was rlly good! It was a bit saucier than I'd prefer though, but everyone thought it was good. The ramen was kinda salty, but the initial few bites were super delicious until it got salty. Broth has some nutty flavor to it and was quite rich. Portion was pretty big. The Unagi don was pretty solid. Big piece of unagi paired with tamagoyaki! Wasnt the biggest fan of the Salmon taco. I personally felt like it lacked sauce. It was a but inconvenient to eat bc it kept falling apart, but the salmon was good. I cant justify paying $11 to eat it again... Staff was friendly and food came out fairly quick. Didnt have to wait at all, theres plenty of tables and the place is quite spacious! Id still come again to try their other dishes and drinks. For sac, it's a solid spot!

Drive by this place every single day, finally decided to stop in for lunch. Small restaurant inside, but just perfect size for the ambience it provides. Menu is full of great choices and spin on tacos and Sushi is something out of this world.

Stir fry udon
Isabel T.

Came around 12 ish on saturday. Pretty small interior abt 9 tables but only one other party at first. More came later on. Ordered the main ramen, katsu curry don and stir fried udon. Came out 10ish mins maybe not long. Main ramen looked pretty good, comes with ground meat. Flavoring is pretty good, i like the peanut butter addition. Katsu curry don wasnt bad, their donburis r pretty small portion i would say, lots lots lots of rice. Their curry was nothing special jus reg japanese curry, for 15$ its okay tho. Overall prices on their main dishes r pretty cheap, so for the portion its not bad. Service and taste wise nothing special but nothing bad.

udon noodles and taco sake

I am always craving Engawa's Taco Sake (salmon)! It's so crispy, and they load it with so much fresh salmon. I'm also a huge fan of their Pear Blossom Coffee. If you're into jasmine milk tea or just want something super refreshing, this is the perfect drink. My friend even said it was one of the best coffees she's ever had! My sister and I always come here for their udon noodles too. I even bonded with my hairstylist over our shared love for Engawa Fusion because we're both constantly craving it! The parking lot is on the smaller side, but I've never had trouble finding a spot. The workers are always the sweetest and so welcoming, and the space itself is beautiful with such a cozy ambiance. Lovely all around! * 10/10 Taco Sake * 10/10 Pear Blossom Drink

Karaage
Michelle L.

Engawa Fusion opened back in 2024, but my first visit wasn't until March this year as part of a Yelp Elite Experience, where we got to try a complimentary sushi taco (crab), karaage chicken appetizer, and a house milk tea. Before that, I remember when this spot used to be Tasty House. Small parking lot shared with a smog station off of Stockton Blvd between Fleming and Chandler/66th, a block south of Florin. Super small dining room capacity too, I'd say maybe less than 50 people? I've also tried their pork katsu appetizer and caramel matcha with salted cheese cream. This most recent visit, I was torn between the katsu or katsu curry donburis, but ultimately went with the tamagoyaki unagi don and a caramel milk tea. Shared the chicken karaage which was perfectly breaded, crispy, thick and juicy with every bite just like last time. Honey mustard dipping sauce on the side. Also shared one sushi taco (this time salmon/sake) and Mom got the beef gyudon. Other than matcha or milk tea, they also have seasonal drinks like guava, butterfly tea, ube, peach oolong, Japanese coffee, etc. Next time might go for a ramen to try or that rich curry udon dish. I will also say a sushi taco is easier to eat than a handroll or a sushi burrito. The wooden spoons were interesting for the rice bowls. The portions are pretty big and this cute little spot in South Sac is worth checking out! Open 11:30am-9pm daily.

Curry udon
Melissa C.

My friend brought me to Engawa for the first time which is located in its own plaza with a handful of parking spots. The inside of the restaurant is very cute and charming and the staff were very friendly during our time there. Items ordered: - Curry udon ($15): The dish initially looks like a neatly swirled mash potato bowl but is really the curry udon sauce with noodles underneath. The first bite was amazing and I just wanted to continue eating it after I started. The sauce is so creamy and smooth, and the udons were cooked perfectly. It filled me up so I only ate around half of the bowl. I would definitely get this again! - Taco Sake (salmon) ($11): This taco is HUGE and came with SO MUCH salmon that it was basically overflowing! The salmon was drenched in a flavorful sauce that almost felt like I was eating poke and the taco shell looked like seaweed with a tempura outer layer. Would also get this again!

Cute small restaurant for a mix of dishes with highlighted sushi tacos. Great for lunch and catching up with friends. We had a crab sushi taco and a spicy tuna sushi taco. The crab taco had average sushi crab yet the taco itself was crispy and crunchy. The tuna taco had fresh and spicy but good fish. Both were stuffed yet tasty with veggies and rice that didn't spill much if handled well. For drinks we chose seasonal peach sky and guava oolong teas. Both were fruity and fresh for the summer season. The oolong had salty cheese cream and small slivers of guava to peach. The peach sky had blue butterfly tea on top and boba at the bottom.

They have the best sushi tacos in the area. That's mainly why I come and they're pretty big so one is enough. Love the crispy seaweed tempura shell. Holds everything together and doesn't break on you. They like the toppings on too! My fave is the salmon, tuna, and unagi ones. They have other options on their menu like ramen soup, and rice bowls, as well as appetizers. I don't like coming here for their rice bowls or ramen soup I can speak much on those. For appetizers I do like their mixed tempura. Lightly battered, crisp and delicious. The building is small and so is the parking lot. It's shared with a car mechanic shop. I've come here a few times and never had to wait too long for seating. Although service can be a bit on the slow side but not too much that warrants a complaint. Service is nice too. I wish they had outdoor patio so I can bring my dog.

Salmon taco
Jenny H.

We just had a delicious meal! We were lucky to get the last table in the room. We ordered mixed tempura, which had two pieces of broccoli, which is all our favorite tempura'd vegetable. We ordered wakame salad, which was a good amount. We also had the gyoza, which came with 7 pieces. My daughter had the miso ramen, which was big with lots of toppings. My husband had the udon and really enjoyed it. Three of us had sushi tacos, and they were delicious and stayed crispy from the first bite to the last. We definitely plan to return and bring friends

Mixed tempura
Judy H.

Came in on a Tuesday around 5:45pm. The restaurant is well maintained and clean. About eight tables and four groups dining. The order taker was really nice and only out to go order. Three shrimp tacos, one tonkatsu, one chicken and one crab mix along with the mixed tempura and the tonkatsu. We also ordered two drinks- the peach sky and ube taro. As we have experienced on our last to go order....everything was great. The one new thing was the crab mix taco....loaded with the crab meat (not sure if it is the real crab meat) and delicious!!! Ate the food so fast for got to take pictures. Will definitely come again and want to try the noodle and the rice dishes.

Curry don
Sunny D.

The curry don had great flavor. I wish there was a pinch more curry. The dish was a pinch heavy on the rice to curry ratio. Tonkatsu was tender. Green onions were a nice fresh touch. I would definitely order this dish again. The udon with the silky potatoes on top is also very unique! I'm a big fan of takoyaki and was excited to try their version. I was ok, I wish the batter was seasoned and the octopus bits were a pinch larger. The sauces on top were a nice touch. The staff is always very kind as well. This is a must try stop and is very close to being a 5/5 from my perspective. Just needs a few small tweaks.

The broth is flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The white tonkotsu is also very good if you're in the mood for something richer and creamier. Definitely don't skip the geso either! It's delicious and one of our favorite things to order alongside the ramen. Alternatively, if you're not in the mood for noodles, they have an excellent Tonkatsu Donburi. Ryujin can get pretty crowded around dinner, especially on colder nights when everyone seems to have the same idea, so I'd recommend planning accordingly and being prepared for a possible wait. It's worth it, though! Great ramen, authentic flavors, and a spot we're always happy to come back to.

There were not many people eating a late lunch. The place is clean and wall kept with plenty of seating. We opted for the black garlic Ramen and the spicy tonkatsu Ramen. Both were flavorful just not the best we've ever had. The black garlic Ramen was flavorful enough, and the portion was good to fill me up. The spicy tongue Katsu was not spicy at all and they didn't bring or offer any additional condiments like chili oil. We waited for someone to come back, but by that time we had already eaten half of our bowls. It wouldn't be my go to Ramen place in Sacramento as I would like to try other places before coming back. But if you're looking for a hearty bowl of soup that is fairly priced and decent, this is a good option.

You step down the stairs from street level into a quiet, modern, and clean ramen house. Very cool ambiance. We went right when they opened and were seated immediately.

The noodles were bouncy and tasted fresh. The pork belly was tender, crispy on one side and meaty on the other. My only complaint is that I wish it came with more than just one piece.

The Fuji roll was good too, I really liked the seared salmon on top. The main issue we had with the sushi was how wet the sushi rice was. It unfortunately really affected my enjoyment of the rolls, hoping it was just a one-off. Overall the happy hour prices are really great so I'd be willing to go again and give the sushi a second chance but to be completely honest it was a bit of a lackluster experience.

THE SERVICE Jose served two of us at the bar. he's an absolute star (I was concerned for his age not being knowledgeable but besides coaching myself on Japanese whiskey I listen to him coach the neighbor couple on it as well) he clearly had studied listening to and coaching based on response. When I began to lead the neighbor astray there was a tiny hint in his non verbals he didn't agree, he said nothing but the fact he cared meant he actually cared about how he curated his customers experience (let me be clear he was nothing but professional and this subtle tell earned enormous respect) My problem with this: I am completed to tip on talent.
