The lobster tempura was served differently than I remembered, but it was still good, and the sauce was a favorite. A couple of the specials we tried were the Hiramasa Crudo, which was really good, light, and refreshing, and the Hotate Scallop with uni cream which was also enjoyable, although the portion was pretty small. My son enjoyed the Wagyu burger, and the sushi rolls were just as good as I remembered. Everything was delicious overall and another great dining experience.

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. THE FOOD; the chef who created and/or person who trained subsequent chefs to prepare and/or person who vets new talent The recipe guy, the SOP guy, approach supernatural. APPETIZER Oysters likely the best I have had style presentations all that fantastic the green chunky pickled horse radish or wasabi was great. NIGIRI -amazing selection -ordered items hadn't had at all or ever: flounder, barracuda, sea bream all amazing presentation by chef and 'food runner' especially the guy with grey fit watch thing he was on point clearly deeply engaged at performing his job.

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.

was not impressed by most of the food and the service…read more ambiance it was pretty busy on saturday, most seats were taken and it was lively. Hearing the same guy yell Irasshaimase right as he passed our table was not the most pleasant, especially 7+ times within our 40 minute meal. service the food was 15 minutes for teriyaki beef and another 15 for both sushi rolls. we asked for dessert in advance but the waitress still came back and asked us twice if we wanted it, and we ended up waiting another 15 minutes for it to come out even though that's what we wanted to avoid. she also asked us like three times if we wanted to add anything after we had ordered, which felt strange as we already had plenty. finally, she came up to us mid meal and said the king salmon we ordered was out and suggested the regular salmon, we had to come up with something else on the spot. when she handed us the receipt and said her goodbye and thank you, she wasn't even looking at our direction. i feel like improving small things like this would elevate the service, not yelling "welcome" all throughout the night. food 2 rolls were room temp. annie roll: not bad, not really spicy, very small amount of tobiko tasmanian roll: the fish on the inside was the most tough raw fish i've ever had. the cuts were sloppy. dmc roll: too heavy for me, but definitely satiating. had pieces with nonexistent lobster. beef teriyaki: not bad green tea tiramisu: do NOT get this tbh. they come at inconsistent sizes, and instead of soaked ladyfingers they use vanilla cake. it overpowers the flavor of the matcha cream, which was decent but not outstanding. super not worth $16 tldr imo the food, service, and ambiance doesn't match the price you pay.

I got the salmon sushi taco, while my mom and daughter got the unagi sushi taco. Everything was good, and we enjoyed our food! We also ordered the brown sugar matcha and passion peach tea. Both were delicious! We did ask for the sauces on the side since they tend to give a generous amount, so it's nice to have the option to add as much or as little as you want. I appreciate places that are generous with their portions and make sure their customers are taken care of. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! The place is a bit small but they have a good amount of customers coming in and out. I haven't had to wait and is usually seated right away! Always happy to support a local business, especially when the food and customer service keep you coming back.

The order was ready when I arrived at the scheduled time, and so nicely packaged for just 2 nigiri too! The worker was really kind and made sure I had chopsticks and soy sauce, and while it's in a bit of a weird industrial? area the space itself looked really nice with wood accents, and plants out front that set a private fancy vibe. The nigiri itself was excellent, nice fresh Hamachi, cut into really nice slices on top of really good fresh rice that was perfectly cooked. Overall really nice space, reasonable price ($5 for the order of 2 nigiri), great quality, and I'll definitely come back to dine in someday!

Fuji's has been around for a hot minute and is the former home to several different restaurants, so if you haven't been that's easily recognizable. Parking is pretty easy and free! There's a small lot adjacent to the restaurant, as well as, some street parking depending on when you arrive The Customer Service is absolutely top-notch. I was greeted immediately when I walked in, offered different places to sit, depending on preference and the size of the dining party. Water glasses were immediately filled and a water carafe was placed on the table, along with menus which included the happy hour menu. There definitely are plenty of choices to select from on both the happy hour and regular menu. They also have a full bar so if you're looking for an adult libation, you'll find one here The tacos on the happy hour menu were pretty tempting, and completely misjudged what I thought the size might be, and only ordered one since I also wanted to order the ribs The poke taco was really delicious, and pretty much a two bite deal. I did find that it would've been better, if they put a little bit of Sriracha, or spicy something just to give it small little kick because it was more on the bland side. I was really looking forward to the ribs that I ordered as well. For the most part, the meat was tender, and they weren't too saucy, they actually were disappointing because it tasted like the ribs had been prepared, perhaps earlier in the day and then just dunked in some cool sauce. So the meat wasn't warm, nor was the sauce. It's not anything that I would order again. There are plenty of other items to try. I'm a happy hour menu and especially on their regular menu and it's a great place to go with colleagues, happy hour, someone special, or just a fun place to hang with friends.

My new favorite sushi place in town!…read more The Toro Don was hands down the best dish I've had at a sushi restaurant in awhile. It's a must try if you like raw sushi! We ordered the Power be E, Salmon Lovers, and Oak Park rolls. All of them were delicious, but Salmon Lovers was my favorite. This was definitely more than enough food for two people. The rolls were pretty big! The place is a bit small, so I do recommend making a reservation especially if you plan to go on a weekend. They were able to seat us pretty quickly, but it wasn't long before the place was packed.

Overview (B or B- is the score I'd give it) : as someone who lovessss sushi, I feel like this place…read morehad so much potential to be really good but felt there were some big let downs. Would I come back if in the area? Eh maybe if I have a lotttt of time to wait around for food, but would look to try other places first. Yes the food is fresh, ambiance was nice and dishes were ok tasting, but that for me was those were only really good things there. Felt a bit mislead on certain food items (read below for more on this). Service: this was our first time here so maybe this is standard here? But it took them almost a WHOLE HOUR to serve us only 3 rolls, 2 small plates of sashimi, and another dish ... it wasn't until we asked them how our food was coming along did all the food suddenly appear. Felt like we were a tad forgotten... they did, however, come around to regularly refill our water, were quick at taking our order, answered our questions and frequently checked in after we received our food. No explanation though as to why food took that long to come out nor were we updated. Food: my small group got various food, but I personally only tried 3 of their rolls: - F-4 roll (7.5/10): supposed to have lobster tempura but honestly couldn't taste any of the lobster (maybe because all the sauce overtook it). - salmon lovers (7.9/10): Would've given it a higher score IF we could actually taste or even see the "Torched Salmon" that it has as the very first ingredient in the description on the menu. No where to be found (or maybe we had to look closer?). That was a let down since we were looking forward to that. Overall though if we didn't know "torched salmon" was supposed to be part of it then it's a refreshing salmon and citrusy roll. - Dragon Roll (8/10): it was good but nothing super special compared to other places that serve dragon rolls. Would get again if want something classic. Overall, ingredients felt fresh but collectively in terms of execution fell a bit flat. The rolls are quite large which I did appreciate and enjoy. Environment: it's a very well decorated, clean and modern Japanese restaurant. Has a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating (with heating lamps and string lights). There's one single room restroom as well.

I got the capitol roll which has all the makings to be my favorite, but I felt the fish wasn't to the quality I am used to. It was quiet and not too busy and everyone was nice, but this place didn't live up to the hype I have heard over the years.
