    Sushi here doesn't compare to the Bay Area Sushi. I had high hopes of finding good Sushi spot close by, service felt rushed and the food was ok.Sadly this place didn't live up to the hype. Very nice area, easy to find and they get good reviews. I don't want to be negative I just want good food. I will keep looking...

    I ordered Sushi Kuma for takeout and tried the bulgogi tacos, a Yummy Yummy roll, and gyoza. The bulgogi tacos were good--loaded with a generous portion of meat and a sauce that had just the right amount of spice. Enough of a kick to be flavorful without being overwhelming. The Yummy Yummy roll is my favorite here! It's a larger roll filled with shrimp, avocado, cucumber, cream cheese, and crab meat. The gyoza is another solid pick and tasted great as usual, though I didn't care for the dipping sauce this time. My order was packaged perfectly, and I appreciated the thoughtful extras like napkins, chopsticks, and soy sauce. Everything traveled well and arrived fresh. Overall, everything was delicious! Sushi Kuma continues to be my go-to spot for sushi and more.

    Lunch Bento

    Great lunch here today. Decent prices for solid food. Wanted to get something healthier than pizza or burgers. Half off their rolls. Not bad. Got their Lion King roll. I've had better. Not bad. Not the best. But for $11.00 can't beat it. I got the lunch Bento box with chicken teriyaki and beef teriyaki. Very juicy, tender and filling. Good amount of rice, salad and miso soup. Very attentive service and nice staff. Very clean and quiet place to eat. They give you a fortune cookie at the end. That's a first for me at a Japanese restaurant lol.

    Sushi Kuma is one of our go to sushi places. Their selection is great and they fish is always fresh. I never had a bad sushi/food here (knock on wood). They are affordable and the service is great.

    Spicy Edamame. Doesn't look much because it wasn't 1/5. 1 for being just Edamame.

    Cute ambiance wasn't busy when we came on a weekend around 1:30pm. Playing cute holiday songs. First I will start with the good things. I order a lunch bento box my two picks were salmon nigiri and sesame chicken. They pile a good amount of the salad and chicken, rice is small portion tho. There sesame chicken was good it look over cooked but it wasn't. It had some juiciness to it which was good and good flavor. The salad it depends on what you like for me it was okay I like more of a sesame refreshing taste but not bad salad and portion was good. The salmon nigiri was okay. I had better quality at other restaurants before. The miso that came with the bento box was good. Most cases you don't get much tofu and that was the case but flavor was good it had slight sweetness to the soup which was new but still good. On to the thing I didn't like. Their appetizer pepper fin was thick and it tastes frozen different from pepper fin I had that will melt in my mouth. It tasted frozen when you bite into it you can fell that rubber icy texture. We order spicy edamame and it wasn't even spicy and flavor if anything it tasted just more salt so with slight pinch of dried red peppers but for a dollar more I wouldn't waste getting it get the regular one. Also we drank our water pretty fast and it wasn't until we got the bill I had to ask for a refill on water. So this place was okay to each of their own if you guys like this place but it was okay.

    Dropped in on a Sunday night. Place was pretty slow so we had the place to ourselves. Service was quick since we were one of a couple tables. Ordered a few items as we were pretty hungry. Food came out quick. I expected the food to taste better. It was just ok. Note that I've been to Japan so my standard for Japanese food is very high. There are a few other places we plan to try before thinking about coming back for more here.

    Food was really good and have been a few times. Prices are cheap compared to so many other sushi establishments. Service was very attentive and friendly. Quiet setting and dark as well. Very low key spot

    Dinner bento with beef
    Greg S.

    First time here as we wanted to try a new spot in town for bento. Nice clean interior with table and a long banquette across the back wall. And of course the standard sushi counter. Service was efficient. Our dinner bento boxes were a big let down though. Meat in both meals was overcooked and tough. My cal rolls were like day old mushy, not fresh as noticeable by the avocado being brown. Not good at all. The dinner bento box meal is more pricey than other places too... So for us, we will stick with those other places.

    The Maul and 911 rolls
    Elaine J.

    This was a semi-random neighborhood choice that really paid off. The criteria was "Sushi near where my best friend lives that has decent reviews" and it checked all the boxes. We pulled up and saw the ubiquitous "50% off rolls" offer and I was temporarily disheartened--not because I don't love a discount, which I most definitely do, but because sometimes if you need a gimmick to draw people in, your sushi doesn't speak for itself. Not the case here. My friend (and frequent comrade in sushi consumption) specifically noted that the sushi tasted fresh, unlike one specific place that runs the 50% "special." I really appreciated the menus, which had a section for beginners and children, but didn't lean as heavily on spicy tuna and cream cheese as so many menus I see. The staff were friendly and helpful; the prices reasonable. We did not veer from sushi, but there were soups, noodles and other non-raw, non-sushi fusion options to choose from as well. Also, my order of an ikura hand roll, which I thought was on the menu, but was not, was met not with dismay, but with questions about how I prefer it prepared--big win.

    In a nutshell; Neat place to have sushi and watch sports at since they have a sushi bar side and two tvs playing sports. They have a running 50% off all sushi roll combinations shtick going on , haven't had that in other sushi places I've been to yet so I thought that was interesting. The sushi was rather decent. Wait didn't take too long. Didn't take too long for our order to get taken as well granted we went an hour before closing time but was still accommodated rather well. The booth we were seated at was fairly comfortable. Overall good sushi, not the best but a certainly good place to just have sushi and watch some sports on the side.

    Lion King, Mafia, 49er, Lake Tahoe, and Volcanic Scallop rolls.

    So much better than delta shores location! The nigiri was BOMB! Yuzu yellowtail, super white tuna,…read more& paprika seared salmon were all so good! Also tried their mushroom bomb (it was more crab meat than mushroom), shrimp lollipops (worth it), & yellowtail hand roll.

    4.5 STARS its sushi…read moreis very popular, so the wait can be long during peak times - around 90 minutes to 2 hours. there are three options for ayce, with different dishes included in each option. my boyfriend and i like course B because we think it's the best value, and it includes all of the nigiri, which is mostly what we like to order. we don't think course C includes enough additional items to be worth the increase in price. service is friendly, and we're always checked on often! they offered a wide selection of appetizers and hot dishes. the seafood dynamite included baby scallops and mushrooms in a mayo and sweet eel sauce mixture. i thought it was a little too heavy and wish it included other seafood besides scallops. the tako wasabi was one of the best versions of this dish i've tried, and i'm usually not a huge fan of this dish! the wasabi wasn't too strong, and the sesame seeds added such a nice flavor and texture. the sesame flavor complemented the wasabi and made it easier to eat. the monkey brain was a fried crab mix and mushrooms with spicy mayo and eel sauce. the portion was pretty big, so it was filling and heavy. the baked green mussels were very yummy! the white sauce gave it a creaminess and sweetness, and it came out super hot. the yellowtail collar was very juicy! it came with a slightly sweet soy-based sauce, and it was overall a light app. the spicy garlic edamame had a great garlicky flavor with a small kick. i liked that it came out hot, and it was a good portion! the sauce pooled at the bottom, and it was very oily, although the edamame at the bottom also had more flavor. i enjoyed the coconut flakes in the batter for the coconut shrimp tempura, which provided most of the flavor. the sauce was the same as the one served with the soft shell crab. the corn cheese was slightly sweet and cheesy, which i liked. the cheese was a little too liquidy but otherwise solid. the quality of the soft shell crab varied between different visits. i wasn't a fan of the chewy shell when it came out lukewarm, but when it came out fresh and hot, the texture was much better - crunchy and easy to eat. overall, it was seasoned well, and the lemon added freshness. the sauce was very light and thin, so i couldn't place the exact flavor. there were lots of options for sushi rolls, and they allowed half-size rolls, except for baked or 6-pc rolls. the lemon x salmon roll was one of my favorites! the lemon was thinly sliced, and the salmon was soft. it was very fresh and light. the washington roll was similar to the lemon x salmon roll in terms of brightness from the ponzu. the salmon was so soft, and there was salmon on top and inside of the roll, which i loved. it was also one of my favorite rolls, maybe more so than the lemon x salmon. the sauce on the henry roll was a little too much for me, but the lemon helped cut through it a bit. it had the typical combo of spicy mayo and eel sauce. the shrimp tempura was so crunchy! the sexy bomb roll was a regular shrimp tempura roll topped with salmon, spicy mayo, and eel sauce, but with the addition of cream cheese. again, the shrimp was crunchy, but the cream cheese was too overwhelming for me. the flavor was otherwise standard. the something wrong roll included shrimp tempura and spicy seafood mixes, including spicy soft shell crab, spicy tuna, and spicy crab mix, topped with more seafood. i liked the idea of the roll, but together, the spicy and tangy flavors were overwhelming. since it had so many components, it was also very filling! the nigiri was as good as ayce nigiri gets! we tried the tuna, garlic tuna, cajun tuna, super white tuna, salmon, xxx salmon, cajun salmon, smoked salmon, garlic salmon, salmon belly, paprika seared salmon, yuzu yellowtail, squid, spicy octopus, freshwater eel, and mayo scallop. the fish was soft and didn't taste too fishy. the fish to rice ratio was great! there was a tiny amount of rice for each nigiri, so we didn't get full on just rice. i wasn't a fan of the xxx nigiri, which came with a dollop of spicy sauce and thickly sliced jalapeno on top. i liked the seared flavor of the cajun tuna and cajun salmon, and all of the regular fish were good too. for ~$40 per person, the menu is very extensive, and we feel like it's really worth it! they offer a wide variety of appetizers and lots of great options for nigiri and rolls. we also appreciate the portion size of the dishes, which allows us to try more menu items. although a lot of the menu is tasty, the nigiri makes the price worth it alone, and we will definitely come back to its sushi whenever we're in the area!

My Dad 81 told her to pick. My sister said they just had been to this location a few weeks ago. It was our first time at this restaurant. It was a different sushi restaurant after Islands restaurant closed. I see mixed reviews now that I have gone, I don't get the bad reviews. I know restaurants, service business and people can have off days. But we really enjoyed the food, the restaurant and everyone we enteracted with was very helpful. Our server was amazing and all the food runners brought out or dishes as soon as they could. Sometimes it felt like we waited awhile for different items. But some are made at the sushi station and some are made back in the kitchen. We are happy everything is made fresh. Not an all you can eat buffet where everything is pre-made and sitting out. I have noticed at other Asian type restaurants.. the staff is no-nonsense they are there to do a job. At a Very busy restaurant some smile some don't. Or server was very nice we ended up talking to her for a bit. They only offered ice cream type items for dessert. I can't have dairy. It's ok everyone else loved the ice cream. Everything tasted so very good! We are already talking about going back.

Only a few tables were occupied during my visit and they still took a few minutes to take my order. The order arrived quick but the tuna and salmon nigiri was not great, didn't taste very fresh, and they drop off the order without saying anything like they're super busy. The ambiance is odd, you can hear a lot of noise from the kitchen area, and even when they're clearing dishes off the table, it was very loud, like they were closed and no customers were around. The music is barely audible, they use harsh lighting that makes the restaurant feel even less hospitable. There's a reason why "It's Sushi" is always packed and people will wait over an hour while this place is dead on a Friday night.

My only gripe was that it seemed like it may have been double fried. it was definitely darker in color than I expected. That did add to the crispiness factor so still a win in my book. I ordered the spicy chirashi. The portion was massive with a good fish-to-rice-to-veggie ratio. The fish was nicely cubed, although I wish the pieces were slightly bigger. Smart move providing a spoon because I definitely ended up using it! I also really appreciated that the spicy sauce came on the side. It had a nice kick to help control the flavor of each bite. Overall, it was a quick and satisfying lunch that hit the sushi craving. My colleague ordered the salmon chirashi, and that looked like a generous portion as well. I'll definitely be trying that next time.

    If you're looking for seriously top-tier sushi in Placer County, this is it. We've had sushi all…read moreover the area and the sashimi here is in a league of its own. The most "popular" chain doesn't even touch it. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and just so good. But, honestly? The food is only a part of the reason we keep coming back, the service is what drives it home. We got to see Tae tonight (and I say that like it's a privilege, because it is). Whether she's our actual server or just making sure our meal gets to us in a timely fashion, she is a phenomenal human, truly. The best. We love talking to her, picking her brain about the menu, and simply just being around her. She knows exactly what the jackpot menu items are and somehow has a gift for putting together a meal that feels completely fit for royalty. My advice? Live a little, you deserve this.

I, honestly, think the sushi and sashimi are better than Kru. The fish is so tender, buttery, and will melt in your mouth. The appetizers and rolls are SUPER yummy, with good flavor combinations. And the sushi chefs, servers, and staff are friendly and professional. They really know their fish, and are happy to explain the different cuts to you. They treat their customers well, and as a result, it is obvious that they get a lot of regulars. The one down side is that they don't take reservations, and depending on the day, it can be a long wait to be seated. So, I recommend that you don't come starving. But they are good about taking down your phone number and calling you when a table is ready. When it is a long wait, we usually go to the brewery across the street to hang out, and that works well for us. The ambiance is casual, so if you are looking for a fancy dining experience, this might not be the place for you. But the food is first rate! I highly recommend!
