    Taiko Sushi - at a glance (June 2025)
    Sam R.

    Friday, 6/20/2025 - Went to eat at Taiko Sushi because my little one wanted to try it. Address is 6241 Fair Oaks Blvd, Ste F, Carmichael, CA 95608. When we walked in, there were several tables in there and a Sushi bar. I saw two people at the bar eating. A large table full of people enjoying their foods. Upon arrival.... Pros 1) this is one large room with another restaurant right next to it and a bar behind it. When arrived, we just sat ourselves at a table. There was no sign for us to wait to be seated. 2) server was very nice. 3) we got our water quick. Water tasted good. 4) Sushi and bento box was good. Sauces were very salty. Chicken katsu was moist and good. 5) server paid attention to the tables with customers and made sure to bring the tab as soon as they were done eating. 6) as I mentioned, it's one large room with several businesses inside there is a bathroom in the back. You have to walk past the bar to get to the bathroom. 7) lots of parking. Easy to find parking. 8) Happy Hour is M - F, 4-6pm Cons 1) it is on the pricier side, but foods are good. 2) Conclusion We liked this place. It was good. Staffs were nice.

    Bento box
    Cassie B.

    I've been here a couple of times for takeout, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots! The food is consistently delicious, and I really appreciate their extensive selection of vegetarian options. Whether it's their creative rolls or their hearty bento boxes, there's always something exciting to try. This time, I went with a bento box for dinner, and the staff was kind enough to accommodate my request for fried tofu as the entree. It was perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The portion sizes are generous, and the bento box came with a variety of sides, making it a fantastic deal for the price. The staff is always friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience every time. Plus, the prices are reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. Now that we've moved closer to Milagro, I can see this becoming a regular go-to spot for us. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

    Gyoza ( I ate one or two already)

    Came here with a friend last week for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a very interesting layout as it is split with another restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I found the menu to be a bit pricey when it came to the rolls. I figured why not try it. It was my first time there I had ordered sashimi, gyoza, and the taiko roll. The sashimi was a nice cut and had a great flavor the size was decent as well. The gyoza was hot and fresh and came with a really delicious dipping sauce. However, when it came to the roll, I was very disappointed. All I could taste was rice. I felt that the rolls had too much rice in it, and it was very dense for being a $19 roll. It barely had any fish in it. The service was great tho and we had an awesome waiter.

    Went with good friends and we all picked a roll. Every single one was delicious!!!

    We received great service from the waitresses we had. They were kind and genuine, answering all our questions and offering suggestions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was also fun to watch the Automatic Server Robot rolling around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone in our group ordered their pick Sushi Roll, so we tried 4. We all agreed that Taiko's Sushi was fresh tasting and very well put together. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the Ambiance and chill, relaxing energy at Milagro Centre.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will be going back.

    Attention! Veggie/vegan sushi & delish! Why aren't more people talking about how delicious this place is? Healthy amount of vegan sushi menu, great service and [[HIGHLIGHT]]love the atmosphere that is shared with the neighboring restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ramen won't be vegan but there is udon, Can't wait to try more!

    Spicy CA Roll (Top) Atlantis Roll (Bottom)
    Yongqi X.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This sushi place was located in a very nice plaza with amazing decorations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant layout was very different from what I have experienced before. It shared a space with an Italian restaurant and a bakery/cafe style outlet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend and I got seated very quick and got our orders taken immediately after. My friend got the Spicy California roll and I got the Atlantis roll and one order of salmon nigiri. The spicy california tasted like a basic california roll and therefore was not worth the extra $3. As for my Atlantis roll, they had an issue with the menu being inconsistent with their other locations so my roll was different from what was promised. However, the attentive server was very nice and apologetic and remade the roll for us, how it was supposed to be. Although the service was splendid, the food was lackluster. I've heard their bento boxes are delicious and worth it, but I would go somewhere else for sushi.

    Great service and fresh sushi!! Staff is friendly, fast and sushi has quality portions, not overloaded with rice. So happy we found this place!

    The food is good and close to Mikuni' standard. We got to support this small sushi restaurant so they can afford the best quality fish.

I would have never thought a Japanese restaurant was here. The inside was another story! The inside is decorated with all kinds of Japanese pictures and decor. You definitely felt like you were in a Japanese restaurant. The menu was impressive! Everything had pictures which is so amazing! It was just easier having an idea of what to pick based on looking at the pictures. There were all kinds of sushi rolls, bento boxes, noodles, appetizers and plates. We decided to get the ramen, salmon katsu, and tempura bowl. Food came our really quick. Portions were good and everything we tasted wonderful. It definitely satisfied our craving. The tempura was crispy. The ramen broth was rich and noodles nice and chewy. The bento box came with gyoza, salad, tempura, oranges, miso soup and rice. Service was great. They were attentive, and friendly. Eating with our littles ones is never easy and we appreciated how patient they were with us. We loved the food and hope to come back and try their sushi next!

This is exactly what I had experienced when I paid a visit to "Akira Sushi" Located directly on Greenback Lane and adjacent to Auburn Blvd in Citrus Heights, this place opened its doors for business back in mid-2024. Since then, they have seen a very respectable amount of positive reviews. As I had previously mentioned, the exterior isn't much to look at as this is a fairly dated strip mall that hasn't received any updates in decades. And to those that remember, this is the same building that "Pho 54" occupied from 2013-2023. During my visit which was the afternoon of Sunday 8/3/2025 at around 5:15pm, I parked directly outside as there were no other cars here. Upon entry, there was one other customer finishing dinner. After being greeted and seated, I was given a menu complete with a cold glass of iced water. I will say that the interior of this place is quite impressive, cozy, and inviting. The distressed wooden tables paired up with the tan-colored walls and unique murals add an upscale look to the overall interior. On a packed evening, this place can comfortably seat around 50 guests. I will say that their menu is fully loaded with pure deliciousness. They offer a huge variety of traditional sushi rolls, custom rolls, Bento boxes, seafood tacos (available in tuna or salmon), Poke bowls, and even ramen for the colder days/evenings. And even a nice variety of beverages including soda, beer, wine, and sake. Since I was dining solo, I decided on the "Sunomomo Salad" which was a cucumber salad w/Ponzu sauce and Bonito flakes. My main dish was their "Napa Valley" roll which uses shrimp tempura, cucumbers, avocado, spicy aioli, unagi sauce, and topped with sesame seeds. My salad was brought out in less than 3 minutes while my sushi arrived just a few minutes later. I will say that everything was very fresh and delicious. The avocado had perfect consistency while the shrimp was made to perfection. In my humble opinion, this was an absolute gem of a roll. All in all, "Akira Sushi" is about as good as it gets for quality sushi in Citrus Heights. They have very respectable hours of operation being open 6 days a week; Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30am-2:30pm / 4:00-8:30pm with extended hours on Fri/Sat while being closed for business on Monday. Service was great as the young lady that waited on me was polite, courteous, and respectful. With a great atmosphere, delicious food, and reasonable prices, I am giving Akira Sushi a unanimous five-star rating.

As I walked in, I was greeted warmly and seated promptly by the one server present. Not all tables were occupied. Still, I wondered about whether it might be too much for her to handle. I needn't have been concerned - she was professional, very pleasant, and on top of every detail. Decor is pleasant without seeming fussy. I perused the menu and decided on a light lunch that included some miso soup, an order of smoked salmon nigiri, an order of hamachi (yellowtail) nigiri, and an unagi (eel) hand roll. Everything was very fresh and presented beautifully. It was a lovely solo lunch on a beautiful day. I can't imagine a nicer way to treat myself after a doctor's appointment. When scheduling future visits, I'll try to make sure they're around midday so I can stop off at Express for lunch before heading home.

We are glad we did and we'll probably return due to the freshness of their food. The rainbow roll was just right not too fishy. The chicken teriyaki, miso and edamame also tasted fresh and delicious. Some other sushi places usually have a similar taste or the chicken doesn't taste as fresh but here, the food was of a different quality. The edamame too tasted different with what they called the "spicy edamame". It wasn't your typical chili flake spice; this one tasted like a bit of gochujang or miso paste. It was a nice change from what you normally get at other Japanese places. The inside is just on the smaller scale so if you have a large group, it may not work out especially if they are busy. They also do not have an outdoor area. So, I would say 1-4person group would work. We came on a Friday evening and there was only 1 table of 2 left for us. So, we will definitely be back. We recommend this spot if you are in the area and want to eat good quality Japanese food!
