    Slamson roll
    Harbir A.

    Sucks to write this review as this used to be my go to spot for lunch. It's taken me a while to get to this review but I had to give others a heads up. I would often come around noon during the week, and order the Thai chicken bento box. Unfortunately one of the days I came, I found a fingernail in the California roll. Bit into the roll, and the fingernail as well. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Immediately lost my appetite and wanted to throw up. I flagged my server down (all the employees here are super nice), and showed her the fingernail. She took it to the back and reported it to a manager or supervisor I suppose. When she came back she told me that their California rolls are pre-made, so if you're ordering these rolls BE CAREFUL. She offered to remake the bento box to which I shared no. I asked for my tab and when she came back she said it was on the house and did not ask me to pay (nice gesture, but I mean when you find a whole fingernail in your food, that's the least that can be done). Safe to save, I have not gone back since then and probably won't. If I did, I'm definitely staying far away from the California roll. This happened to me last year, so hoping some changes in their hygiene and making of California rolls have been made since then.

    Our first time going since it changed to Makisu Sushi. Everything inside was as I remembered. They had a movie playing on one TV and the World Series on another. We were greeted when we walked in and seated immediately. We ordered drinks and took our time looking over the menu. I ordered my go-to BBQ Albacore Tuna and a side of white steamed rice. Their BBQ Albacore was absolute perfection! It's lightly seared and melts in your mouth. And I'm used to it being served with a creamy sauce, so I was pleasantly surprised with their sauce! I'll definitely be back soon!!!! 10/10

    Menu with their combo special. I'm having the number 2.

    Was planning on getting Chinese food next door, but saw the menu on the outside and it caught my attention.... Seemed a lot more affordable as well, so I thought that I'd give it a try. Glad I did. I had the their special which included the teriyaki chicken and the sushi. There was plenty of food. The chicken could have had more taste to it, but I'm not complaining because of the price. The sushi was pretty good.

    The service was Outstanding.. Food was exceptional, perfect and delicious.. my 96 year old Mother even tried sashimi for the first time and she was so very impressed... thank you for just being there!!!!!

    Danielle's Special

    Came to Makisu Sushi for the first time for dinner with friends, after ine of then recently got into sushi. And was said to be one of their favorite spots in the area now. It took my girlfriend and I a little bit to find something to order, since there were so many options. I tend to favor deep friend and or spicy rolls, so I started there first but the sushi roll "favorites" section was really helpful. Since they all had pictures along with the description. My friends ordered 5 different rolls that I don't know the names of, and two were deep fried. My girlfriend and I ordered the following: Drinks Green tea Appetizers Spicy Edamame Rolls 10. Brenda's Favorite 17. Danielle's Special In total we ordered 7 different rolls, and I tried probably 5/7. The deep rolls were good, and so was my Danielle's Speciall roll and my girlfriends Brenda's favorite roll. I also really enjoyed the spicy Edamame as well. Our waitress was really noce amd friendly and entertained my friend's young daughter who joined us for dinner. The only "hiccup" or minor delay was our aroumd our 2nd order of green tea. My girlfriend ordered some when we initially at our drinks orders taken, and a few minutes later my friend decided to get some ad well. But the 2nd order took a while to receive, and we had to ask about it again at one point. Once we received the 2nd glass, we opted to just get the tea kettle to self serve since it made the most practical sense for refills. Overall: Food was good, staff was friendly, and ordered was reasonably priced.

    Have been here a few times thanks to a friend of mine for suggesting it. Each time I've been the food has been really good and the service too. The sushi is tasty, love the wakame salad, and the gyoza is good either steamed or fried. The spicy edamame is also really good, it's a balanced flavor of spicy and sweet. The restaurant is a nice size with lots of booths to sit in. Lots of parking and in a convenient location. Want to come back to try some new items.

    You get what you pay for. A little disappointed by this place, 4-star, 500+ reviews and yet I left feeling that I could spent my time and money elsewhere. Came here for a quick dinner with the family, simple items, things we wrongfully assumed were safe bets. Upon walking in, was immediately struck by the lack of any decorations -- a precursor to the blandness of our food (more to come). Beef Udon, Lemon Salmon Roll and a Lion King Roll. Everything was average at best. The two rolls were very basic, the fish didn't taste fresh and even at the 50% off price I didn't feel they were worth it. The Lion King roll specifically, didn't give off the impression that it was "baked in the oven". My wife got the Beef Udon, soup was bland, beef was tough/rubbery and overall the bowl just lacked flavor. Service wise, even that was just okay -- the waitress was nice but seeing as the restaurant wasn't that busy, she could have come to check on us a little bit more. Quick comment on the wait for our food too, Beef Udon came out fairly quickly but then we had to wait another 15 minutes for the rolls to come out. Not sure what took so long, seeing as it wasn't that busy when we were there. Overall, pretty disappointed in this place -- I think the 2-star rating is generous. Don't think we'll be returning.

    Visited Sac State and wanted to try a new resto. This sushi spot hit my radar as it was on the way home. When in the parking lot, I saw a sign for a drive-thru for order pick up. First impression - this resto already a win before entering. The establishment is def on the older side, yet it worked for the casual dining style. I was immediately seated for a table of 2. I was quite surprised how busy it was - the environment added to the positive experience. You could hear staff engaging with customers - just a good vibe. Service was great. Didn't have to wait long for the server to take our order, and the food came out in good time. The frequent check ins were timed nicely - especially for the water refills. I drink a lot of water and didn't have to once ask cause the server kept a good eye on cup levels. I ordered the salmon, tuna and hamachi sashimi. It came with miso soup and rice. I also ordered the Fire roll. I enjoyed my order. The sashimi was a decent thickness, fresh, and chilled. Other spots Ive been too give room temp, so this was nice to receive. The salmon was my favorite - it was fatty, buttery. At first glance of the Fire roll (no picture in menu) I was expecting a bigger roll but given the simplicity of the ingredients, size didn't matter. It was perfect! The jalapeño and sriracha was the perfect kick. Devoured everything. My friend ordered a rice-less roll. Forgot the name but presentation was nice so I took a pic. I enjoyed the experience and the fresh fish. I would consider the is spot again if I'm in the area.

    pretty good food. I enjoy the sushi boat since it's always a great experience trying chef's choice. it's similar to an omakase where you get x amount of sashimi, nigiri, and 4 signature rolls. the price was more on the expensive side but it does fill you up. service was good, we did wait about 15 mins before the boat arrived, however, the gyoza appetizer was able to sate our appetite for the time being. nice atmosphere. restrooms could be better and more clean.

    My fave sushi place on fair Oaks Boulevard. Always fresh always delicious and a very good value . My favorite, which is in the attached photo is the Sushi and sashimi combination with a California roll so I get four pieces of sashimi five Nigiri and a California roll. Always delicious!

    Had an amazing time with some friends here. The waitress was so nice, I am sad that I forgot her name. The sushi was awesome and yummy, great for the price. Will be coming again!

    We came here last night for dinner. We wanted sushi, and we've decided... let's try a new place! Friendly service and nice presentation. The only complaint we had was the size of their rolls. They do charge steep for sushi, but at least they could increase the size a bit to make it worth my money. The rolls were good, fresh.

At first I was a little bummed about the move, but honestly, we don't mind driving a little farther because the food is still worth it. The quality has always been really good. Fresh sushi, great flavors and that same Mikuni experience we've come to love. Their bento boxes are also a favorite when we want a little bit of everything without overthinking what to order. It's one of those places where we already know we're going to have a good meal. This location is nice and convenient too. It's clean, comfortable and has a good vibe whether we're stopping in for a quick meal or taking our time and enjoying dinner. For us, the extra few minutes of driving is definitely worth it. When you find a place you love and have been going to for years, you follow them to the new location!

    This location deserves five stars for its great service alone. In general, I would rate most Mikuni…read morerestaurants as four star, but this one deserves the extra star. The staff is courteous and prompt and it feels like you are being cared for by people who genuinely love their jobs. I think that largely reflects on a well run and managed restaurant which then shows up in every other aspect of the experience. The ambiance is clean, openm and intimate with dark wooden furniture and accents making you feel relaxed and able to focus on your meal. Just another sign of the great service. Finally, the meal. While in the past I've not fully enjoyed myself with this menu (the rolls are too complex for my liking), this time I was intentional to finds selections that were simpler and sounded more traditional. The Albacore Pepperfin was one of those finds that I'll be sure to return for. It featured an excellent citrus sauce with very nice and thin cuts of albacore. By far the best thing I've had from the menu. That said, the other roll and handroll were also prepared masterfully and with great cuts of fish. Lastly, I have to mention the kids menu. Absolutely excellent and with selections and presentation that show real knowledge of children. We will be returning customers here.

You get two proteins and I always choose double salmon. It comes with rice, salad, two pot stickers, and miso soup. It always fills me up and I usually even have an extra piece of salmon to take home. Their teriyaki sauce is also amazing! I have dined in for sushi as well and it is always fresh and flavorful. Honestly, it beats Mikuni's any day. I will absolutely continue coming here for salmon and sushi!

Friends and I hadn't dined here in awhile, so my eyes widened with excitement when I saw signs by the entrance for all-you-can-eat on certain days and at certain times and I saw sushi tacos on their menu! Their service and music are excellent. The ambiance is spacious, so when the restaurant is busy with diners, the sound is not an issue at all. The TV screens show sushi making videos that get our attention hooked. The robot server has happy music playing and sweet messages on its screen, like KIT, as it rolls away. Their beautiful food display right by the entrance is the perfect way to entice customers to keep it moving to get a table, and not hesitate, if they are new customers. Their rolls are the biggest I have ever had so far from a sushi restaurant and all of their sushi sections we have enjoyed so far have seriously caused a flavor explosion right at first bite! They do not skimp on sushi roll and sushi taco filling, further adding to why I give Sushi Hook five big stars! I am very happy this restaurant has survived and been patronized all these years, considering the pandemic and economic factors that have impacted the restaurant industry. I look forward to trying more items from their menu next time, including desserts!

The good thing about this place is that the price is very cheap for sushi and the rolls are very big so you get a lot of food for the price. The food, on the other hand, was just "meh" for sushi. Perhaps my standard for sushi has changed throughout the years but this tasted like what you would get at a fast food type of sushi joint. First, there is way too much rice versus how much filling is inside the rolls. They seem to rely very heavily on sauces versus actually quality ingredients. Their soft shelled crab was just soft; no crispiness at all. If you are on a budget, this might satisfy a craving. However, if you want quality sushi, I would not recommend this place.
