    Came to sushi because I had heard good things about their sushi and sashimi. We got the spd roll, cafe special roll, and Freeport roll (similar to a dragon roll). We also got the XL sashimi which all came out to be around $85. This was a great deal for good quality sushi and sashimi. The food came out fast and we were sat right away on a Tuesday evening. The place has quite a few tables but I can see it getting busy during dinner time and on the weekend.

    72. SPD Roll

    Recently came with my friend for dinner, heard good reviews about the Freeport location from a different friend so wanted to try a new sushi spot. The restaurant is tucked away among a strip of other shops/stores and restaurants off of Alhambra. It might be easy to pass but because you don't see it from the street. The inside of this restaurant is so beautiful! The decor is lovely, beautiful wallpaper and wall art, plants and flowers everywhere, lots of seating (table/booth and bar), and the atmosphere was overall relaxing. The staff were friendly and helpful, greeted us as soon as we got there, and were attentive during our meal. My friend got an order of their oysters and the fire starter roll, I ordered the spd roll. I loved my roll, it had spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, and fresh salmon. It was filling, delicious, and a nice level of spicy (I would've preferred maybe jalapeño or an additional spice). I would definitely be back to this location and will be checking out the other one as well. Check it out!

    I've been here a few times. The place is pretty popular and their prices are decent. Recently, we ordered a last minute sushi platter to celebrate our friend giving birth (it's nice they're located near the hospital). They were able to accommodate our order within 30 minutes and were super nice about it! Pros: great service and friendly staff. They typically are good on checking up on you. Sushi is fresh and I enjoyed the rolls they offer. It's a pretty casual place and great for groups. Cons: it's part of a busy business area so parking can be tricky when it's around the dining hours. The parking is limited. If you park at the meters, the parking police come by pretty regularly.

    A solid place for affordable sushi. Nothing here will blow you away but it will definitely satisfy that sushi craving and achieve this in an affordable way. I went on a Saturday morning when the restaurant was not particularly busy. The staff were attentive and polite and the sushi chefs were busy. There are a few decorations that help echo that this place is a mid-tier Japanese restaurant. The meal began with free sunomono dish. I ordered two rolls, the Paradise and the Dream and both were satisfying. I didn't expect one of them to be deep fried but it was still enjoyable. The presentation was beautiful and I had enough to take home for a snack later. The fish isn't top quality, but neither is it bottom shelf. The rolls come with a lot of sauce and dressings, as is the case for a lot of Americanized sushi places.

    Our daughter and her husband brought us here because our grandkids like sushi!! This place is busy!! Miso soup is good but could use a bit more tofu, the tofu in the soup was SO tiny and only a few pieces. We had the edamame both traditional way with salt (though there wasn't any salt on them) and spicy with jalepenos...these were delicious! I had the grilled chicken Don bowl and it was loaded with grilled chicken, steamed broccoli and rice. The rolls we had were good but I'm not used to the California roll being made with chunks of imitation crab, it's usually shredded crab.

    coming back from a cruise with my girlfriend, we were craving something asian and this hit the spot. not only did we have really fast service and felt welcome in the restaurant, the sushi was even better. the portions were huge and tasted so good that it made the price point seem too good to be true. we got all of this for about $84 and we got some eyes from other tables wishing that they got the same thing as us. the SPD roll was my favorite and the other rolls were just as good. we were looking for a dragon roll and the freeport roll was like a similar version which i thoroughly enjoyed. having the plate of sashimi and the freshly grated wasabi was super tasty as well. overall the ambiance was good and i would definitely come back again to get some more sushi... maybe even more. definitely returning and going to introduce my friends to this place and get some more rolls

    We had an early dinner here last friday and we love the food. Me and my friends ordered the large sushi boat and it's worth the price! The sushi is all fresh and good. I also tried their oyako don rice bowl and it didn't disappoint. Love the place and service is fast as well. Very nice people and they have a happy hour of 3:30-5:30. Will try their other menu next time.

    New favorite sushi joint alert! My fiancée and I finally tried this place after passing by and saying to ourselves, "we need to go there!" Well I was nearby finishing up a workout at In Shape fitness and she was about to take her lunch break and floated the idea out there to meet. I said yes with the quickness! I got there early and got us a table and drinks. The lunch crowd was winding down as it was close to 2pm. The staff here were very accommodating and kept checking to see if I was ready to order. As soon as my fiancée said she was on her way I put in a couple appetizer orders. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms and mixed tempura. The tempura was absolutely delicious! The carrots were so crispy. The broccoli was on point and the one shrimp we got with the mix was phenomenal. Loved the entire plate. The stuffed mushrooms were huge, filled with snow crab and cream cheese and drizzled with a slight tangy sauce. We devoured all of them without regret lol. We decided to split a bento box with sesame chicken and tonkatsu as the proteins. Also ordered the King roll. The sesame chicken here was done so well. It was my favorite of all the things I ate. The tonkatsu was super crispy and the tonkatsu sauce was rich with flavor. Really enjoyed my experience at this local spot. It's in the shadow of Kru which is one of the top sushi spots in the Sacramento region. Parking here can be a bit of a drag but the food makes up for the hassle!

    Chirashi Don
    Negar O.

    Sushi cafe has been a favorite lunch spot for me in Sacramento for the past 6 years. Fresh and tasty food, with good service and nice ambiance. My favorites are the Bento Box with salmon teriyaki and sushi nigiri as well as the chirashi don.

    Beautiful rolls - even on a busy night!

    I cannot express how impressed and happy we are with Sushi Cafe's food, and their service. We had ordered a BBQ salmon appetizer one time that came with dairy, even though we had mentioned there was a dairy allergy and Sushi Cafe was so wonderful, offered us a credit next time we came in to have it made dairy free. We just ordered (during a VERY busy Sunday evening) to pick up a to go order, and they not only were so sweet on the phone taking our order, but they remembered the dairy allergy associated with our phone number, and their service was so incredible and impressive despite being so busy. The people working inside were working so hard, doing such an amazing job and they really deserve recognition for that. I am more than happy to recommend this place to my friends, but also to personally say thank you to this restaurant for being so wonderful!

    Lunch Bento Box with sashimi and tempura
    Valerie A.

    This was my first visit here, my friend lives in the neighborhood otherwise I would have never found it. It's tucked into a nondescript strip mall behind OBO and Kru. It's a super cute and inviting place with fun artwork and a little sushi bar. We both had lunch bentos and wow, what a lot of food! They start with a little cucumber salad, then Miso soup and a huge box. You can pick two things from a very long list. I had hamachi sashimi and tempura. It came with salad, rice, and a couple small California roll pieces. The sashimi and the California rolls were great, as was the tempura. It was a great lunch and a good deal too. I would love to come back and have more sushi.

    Very sad it took me this long to discover Sushi Cafe. This spot is an absolute gem and at reasonable prices too! The service is absolutely amazing and they have very high quality fish here. Don't sleep on this spot, check it out!!

I also have to give a huge shoutout to Raef, who made our experience even more special! He was the friendliest and most attentive server we've had so far. He was on top of everything, constantly making sure we had everything we needed and that our drinks and food were coming out on time. His service was truly exceptional!

I walked inside having no idea that it was going to be a top quality experience. The restaurant was huge and it was packed at 5 PM. We couldn't get a table so we sat at the sushi bar, and there was plenty of room there. Plus watching all of the chefs put together the Omakase offerings was really cool. We opted for the Japanese cauliflower curried soup, the black cod special, the king Roll, the watermelon and mint salad and the shrimp and corn dumpling. Every single dish was FIRE!!! The flavors were delicate and nuanced and perfectly balanced. Even the frisée lettuce on the watermelon and mint salad was a flavor explosion. We found ourselves drinking the sauce out of the bowl from the shrimp and corn dumpling. The croutons in the curried cauliflower soup were crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside. The black cod was the texture of a scallop and the squash purée set it off just right. The king Roll was a marvel to see and absolutely a delight to eat. I loved that little hint of lemon that accented the crab and lobster flavors. 1000% recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys really damn good food. Craziest part of the meal was the cost, it was incredibly reasonably priced, not overpriced, like most restaurants of this caliber. We will definitely be back. Thank you Kru for making my special occasion even more special!

I was actually surprised that the area wasn't as packed as I thought it would be. The inside was very clean and welcoming, and they were super efficient with my order.

I haven't had a chance to dine in yet, but I'm definitely coming back to experience it soon. A little tip if it's your first time: parking is mostly street parking, so you may have to park nearby and walk over.

Donkatsu bento You can't really go wrong with Fred pork cutlets. So it was good. Just not great. Meat was a bit dry and the salad had too much dressing.
