    First time eating here while visiting friends who live in this area. I was very impressed with the food & the restaurant staff was polite and prompt. The dishes were very tasty and generous, the inside of the restaurant wasn't all that interesting or it didn't seem to be. The food definitely spoke for itself! It's on my go to place for Japanese cuisine

    Missed sushi platter

    Came to Kintaro Sushi for the first time and had a great experience. The location is convenient with easy parking access. The place was very clean with a simple, welcoming atmosphere, and the service was good as well. The sushi rolls were tasty not the best I've ever had, but definitely good quality. I'll definitely be back to try more rolls from the menu!

    Calamari appetizer
    Rick P.

    Sushi time with my kids so we decided to try Kintaro. Nice location with convenient parking. We were greeted promptly and sat right away We ordered the fried calamari for an appetizer. The calamari came with a dipping sauce. It tasted great and the portion was generous. For our main course we had the king, queen and the bay scallop roll. Everything tasted delicious and we satisfied our sushi craving. I noticed their bento box being served to another table and it looked pretty big and delicious; I have to try that next time. I would recommend you give it a try next time you're in Elk Grove.

    Hot sake and beer chaser

    Stopped in on a weekday for lunch. Started with hot miso soup. Had a hot sake with Asahi beer chaser. Then enjoyed Salmon Shioyaki bento. Perfect spot to enjoy the cold weather outside with some delicious warm lunch inside! Service is great, too! Definitely coming back again soon!

    Always our go to! I absolutely love their Happy Hour menu they have all of our favorite rolls and also appetizers! At a great price. The energy in there is always welcoming. And their service is always on pointe. The food is always served fresh and sizzling hot! I ordered the salmon teriyaki and it was the perfect amount of food even had some lunch for the following day! The pricing for a sushi place is great! And the quality is fresh. When you walk in you are welcomed from the hostess and you have a front row seat from the sushi bar so you can see the chefs in action! Very family oriented and a great place to watch sports as well! They have tv screens surrounding the restaurant. You will not be disappointed

    Take out
    Kandy F.

    We absolutely love Kintaro Sushi Bar restaurant!! I am embarrassed to admit we've never actually sat down and had a meal here. When we are super busy and need to order takeout, this is our to go order place. We've had takeout meals several times over the past couple of years. We've always walked in and made our order to go. The food has always been fresh and consistent. The people working here have always been cordial and helpful. It's a shared parking lot with other businesses. Ample parking but can get tricky on peak times. Eating out has gotten very expensive. I'm positive restaurant owners are feeling the expenses on their end as well. With that being said, their prices are competitive. We enjoy their food and consider it a nice treat!

    Sukiyaki
    Laurie M.

    This is an easy place to access and park for free and the sushi was good if you like a lot of sauces and toppings. My katsudon lacked flavor in its dashi sauce and pork cutlet, and the ratio of rice to katsu is far out of proportion, meaning it was so much more rice than one could eat. Unfair to the restaurant, I've recently returned from Japan where the donburi is much more meat and much less rice. The sukiyaki lacked flavor and the beef was not the thin sukiyaki slices and grade. Both dishes had a number of other toppings not typically included with these dishes and while it made a beautiful presentation, it didn't really add to its taste.

    Variety of Rolls
    Wendy F.

    Came on a Thursday night and it wasn't too busy. Immediately sat at a table. Only ordered various sushi rolls but they were delicious! Fish was definitely fresh, filling, and full of flavor. Definitely will come back to try more.

    Sushi is delicious and fresh. Service is friendly and accommodating. We also enjoy the lunch specials!

    Fluffy Roll
    Roddri A.

    As always this place is the place to come for satisfying Sushi. Our server Adam was polite and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered as an appetizer the Tuna Crunch and for our entree the Juicy Roll and The Dinner Box that included Chicken Breast Teriyaki, Vegetables Tempura and Rice including Salad. Tasty and filling. We will be back

    Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box Lunch
    Isabel T.

    Came here around 12 ish on Tuesday. It was pretty empty maybe like one or two others. I got the lunch bento with chicken teriyaki. It was 12$ + tax and decent portions. Everyone gets a miso soup first too which is nice. I feel like id have to try more of their stuff to write more lol but it was pretty good i think. I paid online and for tip they only had 15% 20% or 25% and didnt let me custommmmm so that was annoying bc service was alright.

    Basil K.

    If I could i would try everything on the menu. Beers are only $4.50 and most items are under $8! The soft shell crab is the best starter that we had to order two of them. Great for large parties, birthday, and date night.

    Black & White (albacore belly scorched with hot oil and sauce)

    The workers are friendly and fish is nice quality. A lot of lunch special prices 11-2pm

Our server was young and we could tell she hasn't been doing this long, but she put in the most effort to make our meal nice and I was really blown away by how hospitable and happy she was to be there. That is hugely refreshing and so hard to find anywhere today. She brought me a basket to put my purse in under the table because I don't put it on the floor superstitiously. Our water glasses were always full. We were genuinely able to relax and have a nice time. The kitchen, however, had gotten overwhelmed before we got there and my stepdaughter's chicken donburi took over an hour to come out. I really don't want to fault them for that because it was a very busy day, but it might be a good idea to hire an extra line cook for the next big holiday. I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular day because I'm sure it will be 5 stars! The rolls were fantastic and creative (they're labeled on my photos.) I forgot to take a pic of the Osaka roll but it was devoured by my fiancé so it must have been delicious! The miso soup was full of mushrooms and had great umami flavor. The Sake nigiri was some of the freshest I've had recently and was buttery and delicious. Japanese food is my absolute favorite and this place delivered excellent service and flavor.

We ordered some cold green tea, and started our meal with 12 piece sashimi and an order of chicken karaage.

While I didn't get pics of every one of our dishes, trust me when I say our plates were left clean.

Expect to wait an hour for your food after you have been seated. We arrived close to opening at noon on a Sunday and did not leave until 2pm which is when they close for lunch. We sat at the back right side of the restaurant which is where the AC is blasting so it can get very cold when seated here. We started with the Ika Maruyaki (Teriyaki grilled squid) and for $28 this was a miss. No tentacles were served and the squid did not taste very fresh. It's really not worth the price point and I don't recommend it. The next appetizer was the toro roll and I think I need to order more sushi next time. The fish was incredibly fresh with a perfect amount of rice and high quality nori. I ordered the tempura udon - you really can't go wrong with the tempura here. It has a crisply light batter that is not too thick or oily. My husband got the tonkatsu curry and this always hits. The curry is so aromatic with the warm spices and the katsu is perfectly battered and cooked.
