Hot sake
Julie S.

Sushi Q is a great spot to satisfy your Japanese food craving. I was thinking about sesame chicken for lunch so headed over to Sushi Q to indulge in their 2 item bento box and some hot sake on a rainy day. Service was great. I was seated promptly and my server made sure to check on me often to see if I needed anything and was happy with my meal. The restaurant was clean and tables cleared. I would recommend Sushi Q to friends.

Fried soft crams are a must try!

The food is prepared with care and attention to detail. Lovely service! Great location, wonderful space. Will be back for sure!

It's been a while since I been here and this place never disappoints me! The sushi is fresh and truly melts in your mouth. Each roll has its own unique taste! The service is a hit and miss but I really don't mind it, as long as I'm getting my food!

Bond and Torch
Jen-Ann L.

The only thing I would knock a star off for is the price the quality ratio. The quality here is very good, but compared to other spots in downtown or elsewhere, it doesn't justify the high price point of nearly $20 a roll. We ordered to-go because I was craving "good" sushi and it was super satisfying. The staff are attentive and polite and my order was available and provided to me quickly. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and bright. I like that vibe compared to dark and modern sushi places. The rolls were awesome! We ordered the Bond and the Torch - both were awesome! Very well constructed, good balance of flavors, not too saucy, and good amount of ingredients. The fish quality was not the best ever, but definitely on the higher end.

Truffle Salmon Carpaccio
Leeana B.

Came here on a Thursday night with about eight friends. Since we arrived around 7:30 PM, the restaurant wasn't too busy, and our group was already seated when we got there. Our server, Maybel, was incredibly attentive and friendly--we were sad to learn it was her last day. We ordered a variety of dishes (honestly, I can't remember half their names), so I'll comment on the ones I do remember! We asked for the chef's special and mentioned that we typically enjoy salmon and lemon in our sushi, and he definitely had fun with it. Just a heads up: chef specials run about $25 per roll, but in my opinion, they're worth it. We also ordered the salmon truffle carpaccio, which was fantastic. The salmon was fresh and buttery, and the sauce complemented it perfectly. As for the special rolls, one came wrapped in soy paper with microgreens, salmon, lemon, and roe. The other had salmon, guacamole, and lemon. Both were delicious and came with more pieces than a standard roll. I wish I knew their names, but since they were chef creations, they didn't have any. Everything tasted fresh and paired amazingly well with our lemon drop sake bombs. Overall, I'd highly recommend this spot to friends and family.

Pricy.

We decided to try one of their premium, crowd-pleasing options: the Elk Grove Roll. Yes, it is a $28 roll, but it is absolutely massive. We also ordered a Large Sashimi, a Sake Sashimi and a Touch Roll. Our bill was $140 for three people. While the fish itself is incredibly fresh, the Elk Grove Roll is loaded with savory sauces, shrimp tempura, and seared BBQ albacore. Because it is heavily dressed and features cooked elements on top, it is not recommended for strict raw-fish lovers who are looking for that clean, purist sashimi experience. It's built for indulgence, not subtlety. The Ambience vs. The Price Tag. The first thing you'll notice upon walking in is that the interior design is very simple. It's clean and functional, but it lacks the upscale, immersive atmosphere you might expect when looking at the menu. With most specialty rolls pushing near the $20 mark, the decor doesn't quite match the premium, high-end price range of the food. Where they don't skimp, however, is the hospitality. The service here is excellent--attentive, polite, and prompt. When the food arrives, it's clear that the sushi chefs take immense pride in their craft. The presentation is beautiful, and the quality and quantity of the ingredients are undeniably good. You definitely get a substantial amount of food for what you pay.

Salmon Truffle Sashimi
Nataly D.

the interior of this restaurant is very nice; cozy with warm ambient lighting and lively music that is at an appropriate volume. we ordered quite a bit for our first time, we got the salmon truffle sashimi, the big papa, the bob marley, and the chicken teriyaki plate. the salmon truffle sashimi's plating was gorgeous, but it felt like the flavor was very heavy on the truffle. the salad they put on the plate is definitely required with each bite, it helps cut down the flavor of the sauce. the salmon itself was delicious, fresh, and buttery. the big papa was good, but it was on the sweeter side of a roll, it was filled with crab mix and the roll itself is sitting on a bed of crab mix, so it was a lot. the texture of the roll was nice, crunchy on the outside with the soft crab mix inside. the bob marley was subtle in flavor and clean, i wish i could taste the shrimp tempura more in the roll but the overall taste was good. the standout dish to me was definitely the chicken teriyaki plate. the salad it came with was delicious, just a spring mix with a sesame dressing but the dressing was addictive. the chicken itself had a deep smoky flavor, the char on it was amazing, it tasted like it was cooked on a charcoal grill. the service was also quite good, we got seated immediately and the waiters were very attentive and kind. overall i would come back but maybe for a special occasion as it's quite pricy.

Spicy edamame
Chris L.

Love the sesame chicken. Chicken is tender and not over cooked. Sauce is great. It comes with miso soup and salad. We also ordered the Sushi Q roll (lemon makes it really fresh tasting) and Uncle J ( nice spicy kick). Service was great. Refilled drinks and water without having to ask. Plenty of tables and a sushi bar area.

Sushi Q roll
Gigi J.

Sushi Q roll was ok, good rice texture, not mushy rice. Could use more seasoning though, a little plain. The 9 piece chef's choice nigiri was beautiful and delicious! Loved it! He really took his time in slicing each piece perfectly! Great job! Clean, cool spot, easy parking. Server was friendly and talkative as we chatted about their 2020 grand opening fiasco. Glad they made it through that challenging time for everybody and are still holding strong, 5 years later!

Fried tofu
Robert R.

I enjoyed my experience here very much. Service was attentive and quick. The food was well presented, high quality, and delicious. This might be my new go-to sushi spot. Let me just point out how impressive the scallop presentation was! Not only were the scallops super soft and tasty but the whole presentation and acoutremonde that it came with really made it amazing. I ordered a couple of rolls too. They were good sized and well made. I ordered the sushiQ roll and the Calvin roll. Both were good but I think i preferred the Calvin roll. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

Lunch box (bento box) with chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura
Chris T.

My first time visiting Sushi Q for lunch, and the food was very good, and authentic. I had the Lunch Box (bento box) with chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura for my two choices. The chicken teriyaki was delicious, charged perfectly and the sauce was rich and the right thickness for the best flavor. The shrimp tempura was nice and crunchy and a good size. The salad was generous and very fresh, and a nice scoop of rice. The roll in the picture was shared from my friend's box and not a part of my order, but to try, and that was good too. It took quite awhile before we got our meals but that could be because we were one of the first to arrive when they opened at 11:30 and there were several tables waiting for their orders already. It was worth the wait. The lunch was about $18 before tax and tip, but compared to other places I've tried, this is the best so far. The service was great as well!

Brianna L.

This review is long overdue. We've been going to Sushi Q for over three years, and without fail, every single time we try sushi somewhere else -- even out of state or out of the country -- we always end up saying the same thing: "It doesn't compare to Sushi Q." The quality of the fish is consistently outstanding. Fresh, clean, and expertly prepared every single visit. Once you've had sushi here, it honestly ruins most other sushi places for you -- in the best way possible. The service is always kind and welcoming. When they're busy (which they often are for good reason), we happily wait because it's 100% worth the time and patience. There's never a rush, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers and their craft. We will always support this business. Selfishly, we like to keep Sushi Q to ourselves -- but the truth is, there are so many people who don't actually know what good sushi is until they try Sushi Q. If you're on the fence or wondering if it's worth it, it absolutely is. Once you go here, you'll be comparing every other sushi place to it -- and most won't measure up :)

Unagi Nigiri, Dragon, Crabby
Lynn D.

Happened to be on this side of town for a training, so, I decided to stop in. I walked and was greeted and seated right away. I ordered Unagi Nigiri, Crabby and Dragon rolls. Everything came out fast, fresh and delicious. It satisfied my craving, thanks so much!

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.

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.

We were seated with menus and waters shortly after we arrived, but as soon as we were seated our server (older female Asian brunette) didn't check in on us again until another ~15 minutes. After we received our food and (dirty) tableware, our server completely ignored us for the rest of the meal! There was food stuck to the spare dishes that we had to just set aside, our waters ran empty and were never refilled because she never came back during our meal, we had plans of ordering more which were changed as soon as we realized the wait was simply not worth it. After we finished, we tried multiple times to wave her down, but I felt as if she was purposefully avoiding eye contact to avoid coming to our table! We sat with dirty dishes and empty cups for around ~20 minutes until we finally received our bill. After she finally brought the bill she quite literally NEVER came back. We waited another 20-25 minutes just for the other server (young blonde white female) to notice her neglect and close out our tab instead. I also noticed the table beside us/outside (who had the same server as us) had a similar experience. Shortly after they were seated they kept looking in through the window. Which was kind of uncomfortable because their table was right beside our table, the only barrier being the window, so it looked like they were looking at us the entire time. One of them eventually stormed inside to make requests after noticing that they were not going to be attended to any time soon. I made eye contact with her a few times (because she kept looking in through our window) and she did not look very happy about her service either. I really hope the owners reevaluate this person because her service and personality did not seem fit for her role.
