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
Josiah H.

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.

Combo sashimi and nigiri with a California roll-Delish!

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!

Michelangelo roll

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.

Chicken Teriyaki Platter  bring eaten steady because it's so good!

To start of I would get the Jalapeño poppers ..also would get a couple sake bombs of course 😊..then will end it with one of my fav rolls the spicy 🌶 crab 🦀 roll with soy wrap because I don’t really like sea weed 👍🏽..but to be honest everything… 

Is this all you can eat?

No it is not all you can eat but it is 50% off sushi rolls

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. This young man was on different level. Tipping 30% wasn't enough if he was 5x any service I have had in 5 years, but the food was so good even if service was soup nazi I'd still say absolute m.

I saw the good reviews so I walked in…read more What a wonderful restaurant The property has been molded into a great space I felt very welcomed by everyone I met, which was at least six people on the way to the sushi bar The Sushi Chef made me a wonderful bowl of chiriashi I appreciate it that it was made than the minimum. It wasn't just fish on rice It was sushi and rice with some seaweed and crushed sweet root Ultimate test was the sake and Uni I hate cold sake. It was nice and hot. Warmed my hands like you'd want after walking in from a cold walk in the snow. The Uni tasted like I'd been walking in my boots on Kodiak Island and picked up a sea urchin to dig out the eggs and ate it on the spot Uni was from Japan, but it tasted as fresh as I've ever had while walking a beach in hip boots. I wish I lived in Sacramento. I would be here regularly. It's sad. I'll probably only get here once a year. Bonus! I read the history of the restaurant And it warms my heart to know that I patronized a place that has a history of personal sacrifice and Toil to make a wonderful place for people to congregate and enjoy a fantastic meal Again, I appreciate it that is less American and more Japanese at the bar Thank you.

We were seated with menus and waters shortly after we arrived, but as soon as we were seated our server (older female Asian brunette) didn't check in on us again until another ~15 minutes. After we received our food and (dirty) tableware, our server completely ignored us for the rest of the meal! There was food stuck to the spare dishes that we had to just set aside, our waters ran empty and were never refilled because she never came back during our meal, we had plans of ordering more which were changed as soon as we realized the wait was simply not worth it. After we finished, we tried multiple times to wave her down, but I felt as if she was purposefully avoiding eye contact to avoid coming to our table! We sat with dirty dishes and empty cups for around ~20 minutes until we finally received our bill. After she finally brought the bill she quite literally NEVER came back. We waited another 20-25 minutes just for the other server (young blonde white female) to notice her neglect and close out our tab instead. I also noticed the table beside us/outside (who had the same server as us) had a similar experience. Shortly after they were seated they kept looking in through the window. Which was kind of uncomfortable because their table was right beside our table, the only barrier being the window, so it looked like they were looking at us the entire time. One of them eventually stormed inside to make requests after noticing that they were not going to be attended to any time soon. I made eye contact with her a few times (because she kept looking in through our window) and she did not look very happy about her service either. I really hope the owners reevaluate this person because her service and personality did not seem fit for her role.
