    That's who's slicing the fruit for your drinks!
    Kawehionapua Y.

    While the service was great, the food was mediocre. Some of the fish was a bit dry and everything was on the salty side. The kids menu only comes with teriyaki chicken option, no beef. Which is what we wanted for our daughter, but they said we'd need to order off the main menu for that. I'm sorry but our child is not going to eat a $28 meal of beef teriyaki. That was a bit disappointing. The atmosphere was your typical volume of noise. They sat us next to the separating wall and we noticed a layer of dust on the ledge as well as on the decorative wooden partition. Appears it hasn't been cleaned in years. So it was fine, nothing to rave about this time around.

    Went today for BB's 16th, and it was another great experience. We were seated at the sushi bar, which is always my favorite place to sit. We were especially happy to be served by Chef Tyler, the lead chef, who has many years of sushi experience. It's always a treat to watch him work -- the care, precision, and consistency really stand out. We ordered the Judy Two Roll, the DMC Roll, and the Kaizen ribs. Both rolls were made to perfection, and the torch presentation on the DMC roll was fun to watch. Everything tasted fresh and well balanced. The Kaizen ribs were flavorful and a great addition to the table. BB also got to spin the birthday prize wheel and won a cute Mikuni glass, which was a nice touch and made the celebration feel special. Food is always great here, service is consistently amazing, and there's hardly ever a long wait. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Parking at The Veranda can be a bit tricky, so take your time. Always a solid choice, and we'll definitely be back.

    Huge restaurant in a shopping center ehere we had lunch here. Tried the udon soup, bento box with tempura and teriyaki chicken and shared a spicy tuna roll. The spicy tuna roll wasn't spicy and lacked flavor. The bento box teriyaki chicken wasn't freshly grilled and was about half dried out and tough. The udon barely had any chicken but the broth and noodles were delicious. Excellent service they were friendly. Overall an average restaurant experience while out shopping

    My granddaughter who lives in concord wanted to come here because she heard it was good. Well, I'm here to tell you. I ordered food and it wasn't good. Everything was bland. The sushi was average the chicken teriyaki lunch with bland, white rice and we had to ask for extra teriyaki sauce. The small piece of chicken wasn't flavored or cooked well barely any sauce on it. The extra sushi roll that we bought with shrimp in. It had the shell on the shrimp I almost choked on it not expecting it. The iced tea was obviously a powdered mix not fresh iced tea. They gave us these little teeny pieces of lemon for the iced tea that didn't make a difference lunch total with tip was $85 not worth it. I will never go back not worth it to me . Very disappointed

    Miso soup

    I came in for lunch, was sat right away. Waiter came quickly too. I asked him for his recommendation as they had lunch specials. He recommended the iron chef or the illustrated combo. I went for the iron chef and it did not disappoint. It was a perfect serving for me. I forgot to ask for no mayo. However, the sushi was still delish. I don't like mayonnaise. It was not overwhelming at all. I also ordered a miso soup to start and was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of tofu. All was great from stat to end! Thank you. The place is huge, plenty of indoor and outdoor booths/table seating. Also has a sushi bar. I asked for table.

    Hamachi fin
    Jane C.

    Came and sat at the bar. They were pretty busy for a Wednesday night inside. Ordered a Japanese fashioned which was good and strong. Also ordered a hamachi fin. While it tasted good, same sauce as the other ones, presentation was not as good as the one in Roseville. It looked rushed with the jalapeños thrown on the plate. The hamachi was small and about half the size of the location in Roseville. Kind of disappointing but I guess Mikuni started in Sacramento area so it makes sense since this is not the original location.

    Spicy tuna roll in the middle
    Alisa Q.

    This is the most over-priced sushi place given how average the quality is. Completely bland and the texture wasn't anything to rave about. Service was fine. Ambiance was ok in the bar but average in the main dining room. Nothing special for the price and taste, I was shocked by the mismatch between price and quality. In summary, sushi is ok but no wow factor at all.

    First time on a Saturday evening. Not a long wait time, maybe was a 5 min wait. The ambiance is friendly. Families are welcomed. Perfect for a family night out or just a casual outing. The food was super good.

    Today's visit was honestly amazing. I really wish we got the name of the chef at the sushi bar, but both of them made our rolls perfectly. It was very busy (Christmas shopping), so parking was rough and the restaurant was busy, but they still managed to make our rolls with no mistakes (we have modifications). Tony's leftover roll is my absolute favorite and no longer on the menu, but they still make it for me and I am so appreciative.

    Beef stew dinner
    Amy L.

    Located in the veranda shopping center. Come during a weekend and it is hard to find parking. I went on a weeknight and plenty of open spots. I used to come to Mikuni's for lunch all the time. The dinner menu changed a while back and I miss the bento box dinner option which is no longer available. I met a friend for dinner and we both wanted the bento box although she ordered a few small plates that made it her own bento. I opted for the beef curry dinner. The warm curry on a cold winter night hit the spot. Mikuni is always a good choice in the veranda if you decide to ice skate for a bit or do some shopping and then head over to lunch or dinner. They did have a dinner special for two people which might be a good choice on our next visit.

    Stopped for lunch on our way back from the city today. I ordered the sea of greens salad on the lunch menu and it was so good! The seared salmon was fresh and the rest of the dish was piled high with veggies and had ponzu and garlic chili crisp on top as well. My mom ordered the Sake poke don and said she really enjoyed it too. Service was great, just like always.

    Visited here with friends - we were able to get seated pretty quickly. The interior decoration is fantastic! The food was also very good. We got to share multiple dishes, but the hamachi and dessert particularly stand out for how great they tasted. We will definitely be back.

    Green Tea Tiramisu
    Danielle J.

    I'll start by saying, we will be back. Started off rocky but was quickly turned around once mentioned-- we sat there for maybe 10 mins without as much as eye contact, let alone water, menus, or any kind of acknowledgment once seated. I went up to the front to mention and things got much better from there. We had drinks, Ebi Puffs (bomb!), garlicky edamame (hella bomb), BMW and 49er rolls. We also had some desert which was good, although the green tea tiramisu was a little heavy handed on the green tea. Couldn't get enough of the garlicky edamame and location is great!

It is a great place for bar crawlers and party goers, but in the day where we ran into a Sharks game, a $25 parking fee is an unavoidable loss. Eos & Nyx is big and pretty, it's hard to miss. The huge glass walls, green plants inside that reminds you of RH Roof are pleasant. The bars are beautiful, the tables are set elegantly. We were seated upstairs, the only thing I wish was a restroom upstairs, but the bar there was beautiful and we had less traffic, which was nice. I also like that each of the restroom stall has its own sink and paper towels. All they missed is a mirror, which was covered in the public areas of the restroom. Service was good. Upon checking in, we were warmly greeted by the hosts and the farewell was also proper. Brian took good care of us; introducing the menu, refilling water, small talks, clearing dirty dishes and replacing them before the next entree, everything is a check mark done right. I also got a card signed by the team to wish a happy birthday. Through and through, they presented the birthday wish warm and well. As for food, I like the options on the menu. Plenty of sharable choices, big plates for pasta, meat, pizza and also lots of drink choices. Even 0 proof has some fancy options. We ordered Hamachi Crudo, Leafy Things (Spinach / endive / strawberry / halloumi / pecans), and Scallops (Hokkaido scallops / legumes / wasabi / turnip / gremolata) from Sharable. Then we followed Brian's recommendation and picked Rigatoni (Short rib ragu / pecorino romano / peas / carrot) and N.Y. Strip 12 Oz (Celeriac espuma / black garlic / bone marrow reduction) for entrees. We wrapped it up with a Tahini & Caramel ice cream for dessert. The Hamachi Crudo tasted fresh and it has avocado mesh but a tad too much lemon juice for me. The Leafy Things was huge, but I think they replaced the spinach with cabbage and it was a tad too bitter. The chunky grilled halloumi cheese was a hit for the kid. The Scallops were pan-fried well, I didn't like the tangerine wedges in the dish and the wasabi was a bit too subtle. Our favorite was the Rigatoni, good balance of short ribs, el dente pasta and the right portion to share. We were disappointed at the NY Strip. It was sliced out for us, which was convenient, but I tasted some soft bones on the outskirt and the kid complained it was burned; maybe the charcoal flavor was too strong. What I didn't like the most was the unevenness of the sauce. Some bites we had a strong spicy kick while some bites were mild. This made the sweet potato puree tasted excellent. The ice cream was ok, nothing to write home about, in comparison, I prefer vanilla more as the tahini and caramel were too grounded and lacking that distinct piercing hard to forget aroma. In between dishes they brought in refreshments to cleanse our palates. I like the cucumber water, but both were pretty good. We also ordered a glass of Syrah which was good, blended well with the food and a glass of Mount Vesuvius (Santa teresa 1796 rum / passionfruit / pineapple / coconut / strawberry). The Mount Vesuvius tasted very sweet, just like pina colada. All and all, we enjoyed the night and left with an overstuffed stomach. I would do a girls night here as well, which is what the ambiance calls for.
