We had a lovely night, it's very rare that our family is able to find a place where everyone enjoys their food. We ordered calamari and the pork belly as appetizers. I ordered an espresso martini that I didn't love but I also never had one before I ordered the salmon teriyaki dinner and the Jerry roll which were both delicious My fiancé ordered the curry and it was yummy We enjoyed the chocolate lava cake and the sweet dream as desserts, neither disappointed Our server was really nice and accommodating (we brought the twins and their jumbo stroller) Food came out quickly and hot! read more

Everytime I eat at Mikuni I leave very satisfied! We have been coming here since before pandemic. My wife and I love the $75 for two which comes with an entree for each, sushi roll and a dessert. Comes handy when you cant decide what to eat. The ambience can be whatever you like- it can be for fancy celebrations or just a casual dinner. Recently I have tried their Chirashi Don and Nigiris- and I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh it was. The servers were always prompt and nice to talk to. read more

Agree with Stephanie Y's review. Mikuni is the sushi restaurant equivalent of other chains like Cheesecake Factory, Benihana and Olive Garden. Great outdoor covered patio. Was waiting for my sister to finish her appointment so hung out on the patio for lunch. Huge menu. Ordered sashimi platter with a side of uni and steamed white rice. Rice looked good but had a burnt taste. Fish tasted fresh but was borderline mushy. Otherwise, nothing to complain or be wowed about. Won't hurry back but would not object if someone else wanted to come here. read more

Wanted to have a nice Japanese dinner so we dropped by Mikuni's. It was kinda late so there was plenty of parking and no wait. We were seated right away and greeted by Gabriel, our excellent server. He was friendly and engaging. We had garlicky edamame, Pepperfin sashimi, tempura green beans, and gyoza to start: all the starters were good. We all ordered entrees and the standouts were my tonkatsu, and the beef teriyaki. The sesame chicken and chicken teriyaki were decent... but the chicken teriyaki was a little overdone and the sesame chicken needed more sauce. Our drinks were refilled quickly and any issues addressed promptly (sprite syrup was weak). Nice time and good job Gabriel. read more

This place is usually always packed but lunch is a bit more manageable, who doesn't love a bento? And on an off chance you can get a seat at the bar for happy hour. Their menu is so vast and includes something for everyone. The dinner for 2 is a fun option to try and share various items. Their asparagus is delicious!!! Service is usually pretty friendly. Definitely a fun place for a group! read more

Matthew and Josh did an exceptional job at servicing my family and I. We went here for my birthday and I was looking forward to it for several weeks upon getting seated. I was busted by Matthew and hosted by Josh if it was up to me every time I would come back they would be my go to's! 100 out of 10. Definitely highly recommended Josh and Matthew know what they are doing and know how to keep people coming back. Also, the manager was extremely nice as well and accommodating. read more

Mikuni - The aftermath of a great meal for my birthday - Japanese Near Me - Concord, California

Came here for an early dinner, which also happened to be happy hour. Tried the garlicky edamame, chicken karaage, gyoza, and some Hamachi and sake nigiri. The edamame was especially amazing. Enjoyed some nice hot sake to pair with everything. I sat at the bar, and the customer service was good, the staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating. The bathroom was decent, and there's plenty of space available for groups. Overall, a really solid spot and worth a visit. read more

EXTREMELY MEH FOOD AND SERVICE Very average, or below average even food. I had the spicy scallops hand roll, which was lacking scallops and flavor , and a salmon skin hand roll, that was extremely hard, chewy, and lacking flavor. My dad had the Mikey hand roll which he said is a 6/10 and the soft shell crab roll which was the only good tasting dish from our dining experience. We shared crispy gyoza and some of the ribs for an appetizer(i can't remember the exact name). We didn't get these until after our hand rolls came out, even though they were appetizers. The gyozas were crispy enough to chip a tooth. The ribs were the "best" of all, they were overpriced, flavorless, when they were supposed to be sweet and spicy, had little meat, and were very chewy. Me and my dad both agreed they should take the ribs off of the menu. Overall, our dining experience was short. The atmosphere was pleasant and so was the service. But for being claimed as a "4 star restaurant," they were underwhelming and should've been claimed as around a mid 3. Maybe they're not known for their handrolls, so if you were looking for handrolls in particular this wouldn't be the place to go, and if you even think of trying ribs, run away as far as you can from this place. Rating a 1 as from my experience they don't deserve 4 stars. From below average food, to our appetizers coming out last, i think a 3 would suit them. More than likely won't be coming back. read more

Great place amazing customer service little pricey but you get what you pay for. Rolls always on point. Fresh and very tasteful. I believe Brian manager is great. I had a large order to go last week and everything was great. read more

During happy hour from 3-6pm you can get a special price cheaper. I love sushi rolls and freaky edamame.

Mikuni never misses. The Fair Oaks Roll is my go to. I'm also obsessed with the deep fried gyoza... crispy and delicious every time. Their cocktails are super yummy, and the mochi ice cream is the perfect sweet ending. Great food, drinks, and vibes all around. All the staff is very friendly as well! read more

Oh Mikuni's, how I miss you! Marilyn Monroll and all of your creative names and rolls. Fresh. Fresh. Fresh. I have a friend that says they're too expensive, but you absolutely get what you pay for with Mikuni's. The yellowtail melts in your mouth. Actually, everything does, that's how fresh the fish always is, and also the sauces! You're absolutely on my "things I miss" list after moving away! read more

I have a few words for this place... Because Mikuni always leaves me speechless, and that's partially because I'm too busy inhaling rolls and edamame like a Dyson mouth vacuum. You can pick almost anything on the menu and it's going to feel like a first love, and that even includes all of the non-sushi options. If I had to play F*ck, Marry, Kill with the rolls here, I'd: F*ck the Tony's Leftovers roll Marry the Incredible roll Empty the clip on the Aerojet roll, twice The restaurant itself is great, with a nice vibe and it's always busy on the weekends, so make sure to either have an early dinner or be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes for a table. I'd also highly recommend this place for birthdays, since you can just order platters of sushi (or even meat), and you can spin a wheel to win a prize (ranging from a bag of rice to Mikuni's merch, which I fortunately got). The service depends on the server, but I've never had an awful experience. Overall, it hits the spot every time. TLDR: The food was fantastic. The vibes are immaculate. The edamame was freaky. Final Rating: 8.9/10 read more

Everything was great, again. My family and I have been here several times and it never disappoints. Service is great and the food amazing. None of us have ever had something we didn't love. The different tastes are so good, the only problem is I get full and can't keep eating. read more

Mikuni is a solid spot for fresh creative (Americanized) Japanese fare and tasty drinks in a nice ambiance. I've definitely taken advantage of their happy hour with my gfs and dining with friends and fam. Some of my favorites: -Sakefin- salmon and ponzu lovers rejoice, this one's for you. -Hamachi carpaccio - fresh and tasty with a kick from the jalapeños -BMW- salmon, eel, crab, avo roll- all of my faves - Agedashi tofu- they do it right here, from the crispy exterior textures to the flavorful sauce - Hamachi kama- cut is huge and delish - limited quantities and it takes a while so put the order in right when you get there if that's what you want. -Hamachi aburi- seared yellowtail belly is so good! -Lychee martini- my go-to HH drink Lunch bentos are skippable for me, they don't come with much protein and they give way too much rice. Service is usually prompt and attentive even though they are busy so kudos to the servers. Also, if it's your bday, take a spin on the resto wheel to win something! read more

I've been to many of the mikuni locations and they are all so different! I love this location for the outdoor seating! The food is always so fresh, I've had so much off the menu I can't pick one thing cause it's always so good! Freaky edamame is a must for me! Staff is nice and welcoming, waiting staff is just dependent who you get, I've had great and I've had okay waiting staff. Overall, one of my favorite sushi places! read more

Driving back from Vacaville, we were a little bit hungry and decided to stop in and get some sushi. They told us it would be an hour wait!?! It was 9pm. People were still coming in and eating. Wow, amazing that the restaurant was so crowded. That's a good thing. DMC Roll: Tempura lobster, avocado, crab mix, white tuna, sauce, torched, Tempura bits. Tasmanian Roll: Tasmanian ocean trout, salmon, asparagus, yellow onion, green onion, lemon, chili oil. Overall, fresh fish and good quality ingredients. We'll be back! read more

Hands down my favorite sushi spot to go to. I will frequently make special requests like taking cucumber out of a roll or adding something else to a roll. They've never messed an order up and I've been coming here for several years. Absolutely zero complaints. Great sushi spot and not crazy expensive either. read more

I have been here a couple of times and it's definitely one of my favorites. The menu is like a dictionary that's full of delicious food to choose from. This place definitely gets busy no matter the hour so I always make sure to plan accordingly. Customer service is good and attentive, too. The only gripe I have about this restaurant is the parking situation which is beyond their control. It took me 25 minutes to find parking on a Sunday afternoon so make sure to leave your house a little earlier to be on the safe side. read more

The food was good and decently sized rolls, just a bit overpriced for the quality in my opinion. The service was standard, they get pretty busy during peak hours so would expect a wait time or to call and ask ahead of time! Good place to catch up or bring family! read more

Took our mom here for the first time because she was craving Japanese. Got here here right before they opened for lunch and was seated right away for a Friday. We also beat the rush because parking can be VERY difficult in the this plaza at anytime after lunch. Mikuni has a pretty big dinning area and also outdoors seating,but even so wait can be long. They have a nice bar inside. Our server was awesome and nice. I like that they also take "allergy" seriously and took the order seperately and labeled the food when they came with "allergy" toothpick which I can appreciate so much. Lets talk food!! We loved everything including Karaage for appetizers and we ordered a bunch of rolls, and also a lunch bento box. We also had lychee shock with vodka mix served with umami button that gives you a weird tingling feeling that can feel quite concerning if its your first time but def quite an intriguing drink. The reason for a 4 star really is I wish it wasn't so expensive even for "lunch" bento box was $20 no soup and like I said parking can be challenging but again that is out of their control. But overall we enjoy this place. read more

Decent food. Service was good. Huge place located at a mega mall. I ordered the Miso Cod. Only came with bokchoy. Rice is extra. Pricey for what you get.

The bartender was super friendly and we loved their suggestions--the lychee shock was a very fun drink to try :) read more

Mikuni - Sushi rolls with salmon and tuna and panko shrimp - Japanese Near Me - Concord, California

The best sushi chain restaurant. The docked star is only because I think it's overpriced. Otherwise everything I've ordered is good. There's almost always a wait, and this place is worth it. The portions are big and the menu will have you wanting to try and taste the other options... which you should come back to do so. I've been to the one in Davis, downtown Sac, and Sac at the Oaks, all fantastic establishments. Service is always on point and a great spot for any occasion--date night, family outing, bday, and heck even a first date! read more

I came here years ago when they first opened and I can say it's gotten better since then. Inviting environment. They have phenomenal drinks on the menu, which I will give a five out of five for sure but like anywhere these days, the food is simply overpriced . As a vegetarian, we don't ask for much- we're cheaper than meat .... it's almost like the menus are telling us that eating healthy, and healthier than what meat provides, is more expensive! Could that be because it's probably better for you? Or do you and many restaurants, just like to rip the vegetarians off lol? I ordered the rabbit roll today, which was the most expensive on the vegetarian rolls and I think because it came with a specific soy wrapper. It looked pretty tasted like nothing.. if it weren't for the sauce on this dish, it would not have been something I would've wanted to bite into all on its own. I feel like any good meal shouldn't have to be overly seasoned with salt and pepper, and it should taste good alone. it's like the sauce is put on the side of the plate as an option, which I get, but what I'm trying to get at is that it lacks in flavor The dish cost me $20 for some lettuce, one spear of asparagus hardly any tofu ( which u should be tripling the amount u put in there at that cost!) Half an avocado -if that- and some rice. Really!? $20 ? Smh. I have the money and that's why I paid it but that's a disgrace and shameful and nearly thievery read more

Came here for the first time with my family. As usual for this busy place, we had to wait but it took about 20 minutes. We were swifly escorted to our seats and given time to go over the menu after getting our drinks in. We mainly opted for water though. From the outside the place looks small, but when we walked in, it was huge. Lots of seating areas deep in the restaurants, multiple counter seatings at the bar and outside patio was available too. Lighting was perfect for taking pictures of food and the TV was set up well for everyone to glace at from any sitting POV. We ordered a couple apps, rolls and sashimi plates. Appetizers: Chutoro Nigiri - It is good but not worth the try honestly. I felt that it was more leaner like the Akami cut. Kaizen Oysters - 3 for $11 is an okay price.My sibling loved it a lot that he ordered 2 more plates of these. It is really small and not as meaty compared to oysters I had before. It is totally different from the ones I get from Taylor Shellfish. Rolls: 49ers Jack Roll - Had lots of good chunks of scallops and tuna in each cut portions. Highly recommend. Concord Roll - Came with dungeoness crab meat and not crab mix which we thought was really good. It is delicious and not oversauced. Chirashi Bowl - Thick cuts of assorted fishes of the day with ikura and tamago over a big portion of rice. It is good for sharing or enjoyed by 1 person. Sashimi Combo - Portion is okay for 1-2 person but we ordered 2. A lot of variety of selections and are decently cut slices. Not too thin or too thick. Loved the salmon and yellowtail sashimi as they melt in your mouth like butter.. Wish they can put 6-8 pieces per plate if they are charging 30+ as 3-4 pieces isn't enough. Overall the food is good. Would come back for special occassions or when we totally crave sushi and don't want to drive an hour away. read more

This place was really good! I was visiting the area for work and we were craving sushi so we came here. The food was really good with great service!

We arrived before they opened on a Monday morning and there was already a short line of people waiting outside. As soon as the doors opened, we were seated almost immediately (we chose to sit indoors due to the 85 degree weather, but there is outdoor seating as well). The decor inside was lovely and added character to the restaurant. Service was excellent, the waitstaff attentive to our needs and ready to help us during our entire visit, from giving suggestions for menu items to refilling our drinks without us even having to ask. We got the yuzu calamari, carmen roll, 49er jack roll, and incredible roll, and all of the sushi dishes were presented beautifully and tasted amazing... I savored every bite, especially the large chunks of lobster. I even loved the calamari, it didn't look special in any way, but the flavor and consistency wowed me. Everything about this place was remarkable, I'm not surprised at how busy they get. read more

This sushi spot is located at the Veranda. It's crazy to me how they have such a big parking lot but parking is still like fighting for your life around here, especially during dinner time. You WILL find a spot though, just might take a moment or a bit of a walk. During prime dinner time, our wait was about an hour on a Tuesday night. They also don't take reservations. Luckily, there is plenty to do while you wait, we walked around the area and did a bit of shopping before we were texted our table was ready. The decor of the restaurant was very nice and I like that there were minimal things on the table. Napkins and chopsticks were off to the side, ready for you. There is a QR code for the menu but they give you this thick Cheesecake Factory menu of options. I came in a party of 3 and we basically all chose 1 appetizer and 1 roll each, to share. Our server was also very nice and came in and checked in on us multiple times, but was incredibly quiet in a busy loud restaurant setting. They ran out of the other types of edamame so all we could order was the original? I thought they were out of edamame but it turns out it was just the seasonings. Crispy Gyoza: I loved these. The fillings were average, pork and chicken mix, but the extra crispy makes up for the average ness. Tako Ceviche: this was also just ok. It wasn't a true ceviche and the Tako was a bit more rubbery than we would like. For the price tag, this was too small of a dish to enjoy. The sushi rolls made up for the average appetizers. We tried to pick 3 that were different from each other and ended up liking all of them. The happy roll's presentation was ironically sad, but the taste was on point. The Train Wreck Roll was my favorite. I liked the soy wrap of the Tommy roll but the roll was too big to enjoy in just one bite. I had to take a couple of bites and everything fell apart on my plate. Overall, I liked the sushi, it was delicious, but it's SO EXPENSIVE. $27 for a roll? And $10 for a hand roll. That's double the price of other places. I want to try their other appetizers before I say more but the ones that I've had were all average at best. Also, with a wait time of about an hour with no options to reserve, if I wasn't here with a friend, I might have gone elsewhere for dinner. But if you want to impress a date with good sushi, the ambiance makes it a nice romantic place to head out to. read more

Drink was yummy. It was the Lychee shock. The miso soup was standard. I ordered the GF Roll 2 and it was bland and disappointing. The fish did not taste fresh for the Bay Area. Husband had sashimi, he said it was fine. Child had chicken teriyaki and it was very dry. Everything was just fine or meh. The service was pretty upsetting. Our food came out staggered with the appetizer second to last, we were served separately, and our child last. Our kid almost had a fit when their food came out after a waiter came for the third time and it wasn't their food. Just...meh. Likely will not come back.

I'd like to first give a huge thank you to Alex, our server. He's got a great attitude and an amazing stache to go with it. He's super genuine and entertaining. He showed my wife and I so much care; he always came to check on us, he gave personal recs, and accommodated our need for hot water to heat up our baby's bottle. We loved EVERYTHING! We enjoyed the garlicky edamame which had this garlic butter taste and hints of cilantro. We loved the daikon hamachi and how fresh the fish was. The musolino pasta tasted wonderful with it's slippery garlic infused udon noodles topped with grilled shrimp and mushrooms. The chicken teriyaki was good but wasn't anything special; most Japanese restaurants have about the same quality. The sushi selection is phenomenal here but we picked out three of our favorites. Our favorite was the Pimp my roll with a blend of spicy tuna, salmon, Pablo shrimp, sauce and macadamia nuts. We loved this so much!! Second, we enjoyed the Incredible roll; white tuna and avocado with other great ingredients. The DMC roll was delicious but didn't have as much flavor as the other two surprisingly. But the fact that it had lobster tempura?!?! We had to! This place is hip with great music, a lively team full of energy, and delicious food. We can't stop talking about this place. We'll be back again to try the list of many great choices curated by our very own, Alex! Thank you Alex for everything and hope this review finds you well. See you soon my friend. read more
