    Lunch Bento
    Thomas T.

    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

    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.

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

    Good sushi every time. Me and my boyfriend frequent this sushi restaurant whenever we can! Our favorites are the 49er, Mafia, Lake Tahoe, and Lion King Rolls! Whats best about this place is that its the most bang for your buck. Service is okay, but what stands out is how good these rolls are. Support local and support this sushi place!

This restaurant had been…read moreon my radar for sometime, but the fact that it was called Folsom Palace lead my brain to believe it was in Folsom-took me a minute to grasp that it was actually right down the street from me in Citrus Heights. Our usual family of four was a family of three for the evening and this was the restaurant we chose. Boy did family member number four miss out! The service was impeccable from the moment that we walked in. That includes being greeted right away. The waitstaff was incredibly attentive and on top of the details. We ordered some pretty standard items off the menu to please everyone-vegetable chow mein, lemon chicken and pot stickers. Even though these might sound like boring dishes, they actually came out with such flair! The presentation on the dishes were gorgeous. They tasted amazing as well. I love the lighting of the restaurant. It gave it such a chill vibe. It's on a very busy street but you've never know it once you walk in it kind of feels like you are more tucked away in a smaller neighborhood.. I'm definitely looking forward to the next visit where I can try some more items like their Korean short ribs, I'd love to try some of their Curry's and a lot more of their chef specials!

    The food served at both the Folsom & Sunrise Ave location is delicious!…read moreBoth times we ordered the Honey Walnut Prawns (not listed on the menu) and loved them.

As a Taiwanese person, I was very curious and intrigued by the Indo-Chinese dishes on the menu. The shop was quiet and clean, there was only one other family there during our lunch. So we got seated and placed our order right away. There were several large screen TVs in the dining area playing various shows. One was displaying beautiful sceanaries from the Himalayas and that captured my attention for the longest time. Soon our food came. We ordered the steamed Chicken Momos, the Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Naan and they all looked very good. We liked the curry, and the momos were fun to eat. It's a bit different but also very similiar to a Chinese bao. The Momo has much thiner skin and the filling tasted slightly different from a plain meat bao. To me, it feels kinda like a larger version of a soup dumpling without the pool of the broth inside. Needless to say, I found myself studying the momos while stuffing them into my mouth as they were quite delicious and easy to eat. Oveall, we were very glad we gave Everest Chilli Pepper a try as we enjoy the food and would like to try more Indo-Chinese dishes on our next visit.

    Tried the Szechuan noodles and jhol veggie momos…read more The noodles were fantastic, too spicy for my kid. We both ate the jhol momos up. It's a tangy spiced tomato thin soup/sauce that goes so amazingly well with the momos. My child loves it with her garlic naan. I'm going to keep going until I've tried all their veggie options.
