Sushi Kakogan was fantastic! The service was great and fast--even on a busy Valentine's Day. The food was delicious: we had the gyoza, vegetarian sushi roll, sesame chicken and beef bowls, and the Scooby Doo roll. Everything was yummy and we'll definitely be back! read more

Such fresh and great Sushi. Chef oSam is spot on and excellent. Our server who has been there 9 years Ashley is great, customer first attitude. Bummed I didn't know about this place till this week. Soooo good and will be going here over PK and Mukunis. read more

The BBQ tuna was chewy- looks like they did not use a good piece or rating of ahi tuna and I always try this appetizer dish at sushi places. Other than that, the sushi rolls were good, better at other places but tolerable. Maybe a second time around might be better. read more

The sushi was high level, very fresh. Service was excellent & very attentive and ambiance was lively!! I highly recommend coming here!

Flavor combos were good. Lava bites were a fun addition - small and crunchy. Salmon was a bit slimy for my liking and lots of sauce. Size of rolls were large and made the price more understandable. The egg with the chicken teriyaki was great! We will come back! read more

We come here with the family all the time. We love the service here. It's always friendly and our food is always delicious. I've never ordered something I didn't like. My kids love the deep fried gyoza, the sacramento roll, and the miso soup. My husband and I love the kakugan Nachos, the pepperfin, the princess roll, the lemon drop roll, and the mixed tempura plate. (You can never go wrong with tempura). We also love to come here to celebrate with the happy hour sake shots! Always a good deal. The location is perfect. Parking is always easy to find. The seating is great, my kids are able to be loud and I can eat without feeling like I'm bothering anyone. read more

My gf and I went here and we were very happy all around! The staff were very friendly and the food came out quick. We ordered 3 rolls and garlic edamame. The rolls were very good! But, the garlic edamame needs work. It had garlic salt on it and that was it. The prices were not too bad as well. We will be back For sure! read more

Ordered through DoorDash, it said the order was confirmed and everything. Waited for almost 40minutes for the dasher to arrive and tell me that the restaurant was closed. Please check and adjust your DoorDash hours to match your actual business hours. (It supposed to be 12:30PM not AM on Saturday) read more

if you are looking for a kaiten experience where they just roll it out to you up at the bar, this is the place for you. my father and I got 6 platters and it was only $102, the chef would improvise and make these insane combinations that were fantastic, and the whole team had such a welcoming vibe. 10/10, new favorite! read more

Came here for the first time with my boyfriend and his family and safe to say I won't ever be coming back. - Service was already at a rough start, took them over 10 minutes to come get our order (it was not that busy) - Had to ask for chopsticks, napkins, soy sause plates, and ginger and wasabi (when it's usually a given) -Ask for a fork at the beginning of getting our food, never received one -I ordered the devil roll, it was made lazily as the rice would fall apart and stick to each other What makes it worse was that my boyfriend's family already had negative opinions about this place due to the terrible service. But we only came here because it was the "only one they know of." I've been to a lot of sushi places, whether it was high end or affordable. I would say this would be mid tier. Way better places out there, so save your money. The food was ok and at least the vibes seem to be good as workers were friendly and high energy. read more

Extremely unprofessional and terrible service. I was placing an order for eight people for my grandmother's birthday, for eight people, only to find out the restaurant rejected it. We attempted to call the restaurant, but we were placed on hold for five minutes with no response after checking if they were still on the line. After waiting I hung up and called the read more

Service is amazing and the food is outstanding The pepperfin is a must try if coming here. read more

Sushi night has become a thing with our family and we decided to visit this place as we seen it passing by many times. The staff greeted us immediately and seated us. The service was quick! Mere mins between ordering and getting our food. The rolls were big and very tasty. I finally got a roll with a kick. Other places say spicy but always come up short. Extra star for that! We all left full and happy. The restaurant was nice with nice decor and plenty of screens to keep you distracted (not that we had to wait at all though). We will definitely be returning again. read more

Been here about 8 times now but I feel like I've been coming here forever. Absolute best sushi I've ever had. And I promise you will think the same. On top of the amazing food, they provide genuine hospitality. It is a true gem of a place to offer such a welcoming and comfortable experience paired with absolutely amazing sushi. Ask them to make you a chefs choice roll and order the special jalapeño pepperfin appetizer!!! TRUST ME read more

I don't know what happened here but the food has always been awesome, but the service was absolutely horrible recently. We had to ask for everything, our appetizers, our drinks, our food. We did even get wasabi and ginger with our rolls, had to ask for that. Not sure were gonna return for awhile. read more

I Door Dashed lunch today from Sushi Kakogan. This was my first experience with this restaurant. The portions delivered were generous and the packaging was first rate. Prices were competitive. My order consisted of a Roll, Nigiri, Shrimp and Edamame. The roll I selected was the Gilroy Garlic (raw). It came with deep fried shrimp tempura, snow crab, avocado, salmon, tobiko with sauce. It was good but not much shrimp or salmon. My Shrimp Tempura was disappointing. It looked great but it was almost nothing but tempura ... hard to find any shrimp. The Salmon Nigiri was fantastic. Nice amount of absolutely fresh and delicious Salmon. Very tasty, I should have ordered more. The Edamame was just what you would expect, made better by good seasoning and a large portion. read more

Was in town for a wedding and checked out this Japanese place, and it was decent overall. The restaurant was clean, and we went with the bento boxes. They came with soup, salad, rice, and two choices. I got the chicken teriyaki and grilled salmon. Both tasted good, but the portions were smaller than what I'd usually get elsewhere. One downside was the limited sushi options, especially for salmon lovers. I also got the Daniel's roll which comes with smoked salmon but I did not enjoy this. Also, the two guys behind the sushi bar were shouting a bit. Maybe that's just their style, but it threw me off a little. The two servers were attentive and kind. All in all, it was okay for the price, but I'd probably look around if I wanted more sushi choices. read more

Had a delightful lunch today. My Princess Roll was so tasty and huge! My dining partner had the poke which they were happy with. We had an order of edamame and some miso soup, all delicious! The star of our lunch was our server Nicole. She was friendly and efficient and anticipated our every need. read more

The good: - Tempura is plated nicely as a tower. Crispy. - California II roll has a yummy snow crab salad. - Salmon and escolar sashimi are fresh. - Fast, friendly To Go service. I was offered water as I waited for my order. - Conveniently located by Thrive, where I exercise. - Special Roll of Month is discounted. Daily Specials. The bad: - Ramen is boring. Not many toppings, except 2 nori sheets and green onion. - Chirashi Don to go 1. Missing wasabi. Check your order before leaving the restaurant. 2. No pickled ginger. 3. Red sashimi (Maguro or tuna, I think) was unfresh. 4. Pink sashimi (Shiro Maguro or white albacore tuna, I think) wasn't great. 5. Salmon sashimi (sake; orange sashimi) was cut into squares, which was different than the other sashimi cuts. To be fair though, I seem to have a preference for salmon, escolar, and hamachi over ahi and maguro. I can only think of one restaurant where I'd order ahi! FYI: The California roll uses an imitation crab stick, whereas the California II roll uses a snow crab salad. I preferred the California II roll. I think my ramen picture is being used on the online menu, so thank you for that honor, Sushi Kakogan! read more

Driven past here multiple times and finally came here for a friend's bday celebration. We got edamame to start. The spicy edamame was sprinkled with the togarashi seasoning and had a good kick. My friends ordered the nachos and lava bites to share. I liked that the nacho chips were fried tempura nori. It gave it a nice Asian twist. The lava bites were fried and I think filled with cream cheese. I got the omakase nigiri and sashimi combo. Some of my other friends got omakase rolls and other things. Each roll was unique to their tastes and they all enjoyed it. The fish was fairly fresh and service was ok. Many of the rolls I saw had a ton of sauce which, personally I'm not a fan of. I like being able to taste the fish so I'm glad I got the sashimi and nigiri combo. The waitress however did not explain what type of fish was on it which I would have liked. Overall food was pretty good. Not the best sushi I ever had but a good local sushi place with reasonable prices. read more

John and his staff are the best people. I've worked in Foodservice for over 23 years and the have the best personalized service and food that I've ever experienced. Their deep fried cheese is the bomb!! The Sashimi is top shelf. The staff is amazing. Engaging. Friendly. Helpful. Everything you want from a dining experience read more

This place is the best sushi place we have been to, hands down. The food is super fresh and creative and the staff is friendly as can be. We love this place! I highly recommend the Omikase roll. It's different every time and always outstanding. read more

Sushi Kakogan - This place is amazing every time. We don't even bother trying other sushi joints anymore. 10/10 every single time! - Japanese Near Me - Rocklin, California

Long overdue review as we frequent this establishment (about two years now) and have NEVER been disappointed by the service, or quality of food no matter what time of day we visit. Chef James and Chef Johnny are INCREDIBLE and serve up some . We love to order the Omakase Roll and let their imaginations run wild, and it turns out fantastic EVERYTIME. We love the monthly specials, the daily specials, the environment, and just the establishment overall. We consistently recommend Sushi Kakogan to friends, family, and coworkers alike. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

I did take out and it was really good. The pepper fin was great. The service was excellent. And the staff was very friendly and polite

Me and my my boyfriend went here a few times, first couple times were sooooo good we loved this place so we came back, it's been a while since we went so we decided to go today and everything was a flop, edamame was under cooked, the sriracha and spicy mayo was a watery consistency, and the shrimp tempura in my roll tasted bitter and has that very burnt oily taste that stays in your mouth, what I'm shocked about is cheaping out on sauces like what??? That's essential to make sushi taste good, we decided we aren't coming back, no idea how it all changed like that, this place use to be good read more

Great selection of rolls. Service was outstanding! Ambiance is also very nice! And they had the heater on for a cool cloudy day, thank you!! So many places are ice arena cold. Miso soup was the best we have had in the area!!! And I love my soup! The salad was not the freshest, but I won't knock them for that. Though I felt the sushi roll I had had way to much breading on the shrimp and was rather bland. The other roll we had was really good! We weren't knocked off our feet but definitely will put this place on the short list to return to and try out other menu items, as all the great reviews promise it is a great place! Service was definitely super friendly! I appreciate that these days! We will be back to try out more items off the menu. Clean restrooms also!! Always a plus ;-) read more

I love coming into sushi K to see my favorite people, John Lu, Rodi, and Nicole. They create a one of a kind atmosphere that always makes my week. The regular customers makes coming in a real community culture. It also always helps that the food is amazing. Try an Omakase roll if you want to see what the chefs can do! read more

3.5 stars. Very friendly customer service and very competitive pricing. I liked how they barely had any rolls with cream cheese in them as Japan does not serve rolls with cream cheese and it seems to be a hit filler in America. The miso soup was yummy with good texture. Potstickers needed more seasoning or a little more salt. The rolls we tried were alright tasting. We are picky with sushi/fish having lived in japan for 8 years and the rolls overall didn't quite hit the spot. Overall, if you're looking for a place that's friendly and pocket friendly, this is a good one to try! read more

Sushi was alright. Horrible service. I tried to wave down staff for an hour to get a check after I was done eating. I still didn't get one. Had to pretend I was leaving to get service. Rude people bad time waste of money. read more

I love sushi... so much so that when my wife and I first met, sushi was listed as my favorite food. There are many good sushi places in the Rocklin area, but it wasn't until I sat down at the sushi bar here and asked Steven for an Omakase roll--this is chef's choice--after giving him an idea of what I like in my sushi--that I was able to state quite sincerely that it's the best roll I have ever had. This roll he created hit me on all levels as absolutely delicious! I couldn't be happier, and I am afraid Steven has ruined me for all other sushi places. read more

The food was amazing! We've been to other neighboring sushi restaurants and none compare. We ordered a Devil roll, Hula roll, and an omakase nigiri. John was very attentive to my group and had very short wait times for food. The staff are all super nice and friendly as well! We will definitely be coming back (: read more

The overall experience here was very satisfactory. The food was great, the service was not bad, but could be better and the ambiance is ok, although not expected of a Japanese restaurant. The selection of foods here are very good. I also appreciate their vegetarian selection, which was quite plentiful. Overall, the service was great. we received our drinks and foods in reasonable time. However, if someone comes more than a few minutes later but gets their food first before we do, I do take notice of that. Ambiance was ok, but more like sports bar than Japanese restaurant. However if most patrons like it this way, ok then. read more
