Recently renovated, Azayaka describes themselves as a Japanese fusion restaurant…read more Located in a strip mall, the interior belies the exterior with its subdued ambiance. Came here for dinner a couple of times, the first time I ordered the rainbow roll ($15) which is my barometer for sushi at restaurants. Decently sized, the fish was fresh and the roll was filling. Daughter ordered the ramen ($18) with the red option, which she enjoyed with the plethora of toppings. Dinner the second time, I got the teishoku set with salmon ($21). Two decently filets of salmon came with rice, miso soup, salad, deep fried egg roll and salad. You also get a choice of either croquette or chawanmushi. The chawanmushi was a highlight for me! I missed eating this savory custard when I used to live in Japan. Their version did not disappoint! This has spot has become a rotating staple for me and am looking forward to trying out more of their sushi rolls.

Just went here for the first time on a first date and have had this place on my saved list for…read moreforever. The food here was absolutely delicious. We ordered: Appetizers: Mixed Tempura 8/10 - wish it was a smidge flakier Grilled Squid 1000/10 - might just come back alone for this. Absolute perfection, no notes Mains: 18 piece Sashimi 10/10 - large slices, scallops were definitely the start- tho no higher rating due to no description on what was being served and slightly inconvenient design even though the presentation was pretty. Double Toro roll 8/10 - my date loved it, I'm just not a big roll fan Spicy scallop hand roll 9/10 - super delicious, scallops were fresh Unagi hand roll - 10/10 - I didn't even get to try it, my date loved it Tuna maki roll - 10/10 - simple, delicious We will definitely be coming back. I will say my only note is that we ordered the appetizers first and actually waited to order our mains in hopes that the appetizers would come out first. Instead my mains came out before the appetizers and then my dates came after the appetizers came out. Everything was delicious but I hope that isn't a common habit as it made the meal feel a bit rushed and the waitresses were commenting about how much we ordered and if we could eat it all... everyone was very nice though. A little cold in the actual restaurant but makes sense to keep the fish cold.

Celebrated my sister's bday last night here. 3 tables seating 10 each. Service was impeccable and…read morethe food was amazing. We all started with apps: Truffle Hamachi Crudo, Lobster Tempura Balls, and their House Salad. All very good. No leftovers there. For the entree, I ordered their Dragon Roll: Shrimp tempura, crab mix, topped with avocado, unagi, spicy mayo sauce, unagi sauce, sesame, scallions and their Rainbow Roll: Crab mix, cucumber, avocado, topped with albacore, tuna, salmon, escolar, hamachi, unagi sauce, spicy mayo, and shared their Beef Ribeye Steak: Grilled 12oz ribeye, shishito peppers, asparagus, and teriyaki sauce. I could not eat it all, but brought it home and am having a great lunch from it as I write this. Excellent presentation and flavors! Their outdoor seating is beautiful. I highly recommend this place.

It didn't take long for a wait list to accumulate so it is def a popular spot. The service was a little slow but the place was packed. The food was 5/5: - Poke Salad: 4/5. So spicy my husband had to give me his sea steak and finish it for me. - Sea Steak Salad: 4/5. The steak was perfectly grilled but most of the sauce was under a huge amount of unnecessary lettuce. - Broadway Roll: 5/5. So good. (The rolls come in 10 pieces but the cuts are smaller in size and easier to eat. We all finished our rolls. ) -Sunshine Roll: 4/5. This wasn't marked as "hot" but it was very spicy and I had to wipe some of the siracha sauce off to eat it. The lemon slices on top were delicious. - Messi Roll: 5/5. Hubby would get it again. - Firecracker Roll: 5/5. Son in law ate every bit!

I was referred to the owner Vinh who handled the situation with such care and understanding. He was extremely apologetic and offered to take care of the bill along with another generous offer. I was blown away by his generosity and consideration in wanting to make things right. I've always appreciated the fresh sushi, reasonable prices, & hospitality, but getting to interact with the owner and having that great of an experience really sealed the deal. Thank you again for excellent service. Please do yourself a favor and check out this wonderful restaurant. They will not disappoint! I typically order takeout but their dining room is very nice, clean and inviting. I would love to dine in next time.

I was driving by and had never stopped here before so I decided to stop in for lunch. It was…read moreexcellent. It was a very nice space. You can actually watch the sushi Chef off the corner, doing his thing. They have TVs on, and also TV screens that show their different items that they have on the menu. They have both bento boxes, sashimi sushi, and rolls. The sushi/roll selection is huge. They also have sushi boats for larger parties. They have a daily sushi special and a daily bento special. I decided to go for the bento box. The day I was there, it was spicy chicken, teriyaki, chicken, and. 2 gyoza. I ask how spicy the spicy chicken was, and she said it wasn't very spicy, but she would put the sauce on the side for me. The bento comes, and oh my, was it a lot of food. The gyoza were wonderfully crispy. I loved the salad, I'm not sure what the dressing was, she said it was their "house dressing". I believe it was a mayonnaise based dressing. it was a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy. . It was excellent. I loved the pickled vegetables, they provide provided a nice pop of acid. The rice was done just right, I used some teriyaki sauce sitting at the table on the rice, and it was perfect for the rice. The teriyaki chicken was perfectly grilled, and the sauce on the spicy chicken was just a little bit spicy. Well, within what I like for spicy. It put just a tiny bit of a sweat on my forehead, but not much. It wasn't just spice, it also had a good flavor. I left very full. The price of the special, soda, tax and tip was extremely reasonable for the quantity and quality of food. I want to come back and try the sushi next time. Thank you!

So I told my wife to pick what she wanted for dinner tonight for Mother's Day, and she stumbled…read moreupon the Google page for Express Sushi & Teriyaki and thought the pictures of the food looked delicious, so we decided to give them a try. They are located in a little strip mall off Folsom Blvd. right next to a laundry mat with a decent sized parking lot, with a little sign mentioning Mother's Day with pink balloons to commemorate the occasion. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated by a very sweet young lady named Violet who ended up also being our server. The inside was clean, with a wall of TVs that formed one large screen, lights on the walls, and they had pink heart balloons all throughout for the holiday. We had already picked the items we were interested in beforehand, and Violet let us immediately order. We got the Hamachi Kama, the Shrimp Daddy, The Northen Lights Wrap, 2 small bowls of miso soup, the BBQ Albacore, the House Wife Special Roll and the Philly Cheesesteak Roll. EVERYTHING tasted SUPER FRESH and incredibly delicious! We HIGHLY recommend the Shrimp Daddy and the Northern Lights Wrap, but honestly you can't go wrong with any of the items we selected. Violet was VERY professional, personable, and tentative and took great care of us. The other server, Gayane, was also very sweet and came over and gave my wife a miniature chocolate cake (made by a local bakery called Heavenly Pasteries) as a Mother's Day treat. Then at one point, Chef Maguro walked around and checked in with every customer and stopped at our table for a chat. Maguro was such an incredibly cool and talented guy. He told us he's been a sushi chef for about 28 years, and it shows. He's also responsible for all the delicious looking pictures on their website and in the restaurant. Not totally sure if Chef Maguro made ALL of our food, so we need to also shout out Chef Henry as well. This place is excellent! The food was super tasty, and the people working there really sold the experience. Thank you for being a wonderful server, Violet! Someone give this woman a raise! And thank you Chef Maguro for being a stand up, awesome guy! We will for sure be coming back again soon!!

The first time, I visited with a GF friend and they really appreciated the GF menu. It feels like the restaurant put a lot of thought into the menu. The chicken karage was cripsy and juicy and very good. The spicy tuna roll was fresh and the rainbow roll is good. I got the tommy roll and it was the best thing I have even eaten, sushi-wise. It was hella expensive at $28 but the crab tasted fresh and it had so much flavor while not being overwhelming. The texture was also good, and each piece is very large but built to be broken down into 2 bites if needed without falling apart.

I started with Pan Fried Gyoza chicken and pork combo. Perfectly cooked thin with a crunch and flavorful. They almost melt in your mouth with flavor. my waiter stopped by several times to take my order and check on me. Inside has lots of seating and a lovely outdoor covered space that gives this place a really fun vibe. And light pop music playing in the background. I went next with a miso soup, ample size for a serving. I was prepared for a salty spoonful on my first spoonful, But I was surprised to have a nicely flavored soup with scallions and tofu. And not salty at all. I might have to grap a second bowl to go as it was so good. Next, I went with my server John's suggestions the Flaming Srooms, Tempura Mushrooms with crab mix cream cheese jalapeños, special sauce shaved Bonita flakes and green onions. They came out very hot and if you know Mushrooms never put one in your mouth right from the oven or fryer as you will burn your mouth. So I enjoyed the smell of it for a couple of minutes before biting into one. I did expect a larger mushroom bit the top was filled with imitation crab and cream cheese. smaller mushroom then I expected for sure. Almost like a mushroom crab ragoon, Mushroom lovers will like this. Next I went with the Spicy Johnny roll. the Tuna and the eel are the major flavors here with the sauces, not spicy for me but possibly for others. And finally ended with a simple Spicy Salmon roll. they add chillies powder and Sesame oil which is different then most east coast places I was sitting around enjoying my meal as they were getting close to closing. I was impressed on the details they took on cleaning the entire restaurant and even the walls. I would definitely come back when I am in town.

So it's Valentines night around 630p and I had settled in on the couch thinking my evening was…read moreset,when my 24 year old daughter who was visiting for the weekend from out of town comes into the living room and was like "So where are we going for dinner tonight?"I literally did LOL and was like "Nowhere-not on Valentine's Day on a Saturday night with no reservations".She did not accept that as an acceptable answer and she jumped on her phone and after calling place after place she found a spot that had a wait under 30 minutes,though it was pretty far from Natomas and it's a place I have zero and I do mean zero experience with-but what are you going to do-When the wife and the daughter want to go to dinner on Valentines Day,I guess you get off the couch and head on out-we headed out to Modurang Korean Restaurant on Folsom Blvd. Parking at this location is kinda tricky in front of the restaurant as the spots seem very close and people seemed to be parking recklessly but luckily it's quite a large lot with many spaces in front of some of the other shops in this multi tenant shopping area. Once we got to the restaurant we noticed a few people waiting in the lobby ahead of us but considering what night it was,I was fine with it.We ended up waiting about 20 minutes before we got our table. I will admit fully I have zero expertise at Korean restaurant,outside of occasional visits to a BBQ spot but at traditional sit down Korean restaurant,I was out of my element.Luckily for me,the daughter has spent multiple weeks in Korea thru her military service,so I felt like I was in good hands-I let her have total control of what we were eating that night,that wasnt easy for me to do. We ended up going with Fried Chicken in spicy sauce($22.95)-Seafood Fried Rice($18.95)-Soft Tofu Stew($17.95)-Hot Stone Beef Bibimbab($19.95),which along with the courtesy banchan was so much food-but I'd never been to this restaurant-I wanted to try some things. To drink we ended up going with some Blackberry wine($14.95) and my daughter went with a Milkis($1.95) drink-I just went with water but I did have my eye on some Soju,but decided against it since I wasn't sure what I was up against "food-wise". Once the food arrived which was lightning quick-I was in heaven,the 11 small dish banchan along with our dishes,I can't tell you which was best because everything I tasted was on point and kept getting better and better.My bibimbap was so fun to eat-I enjoyed the act of mixing it all up before trying it-was so tasty.The tofu stew came out piping hot and the flavor profile was like nothing I've had before-it was super enjoyable.If I had to say though,the star of the meal was that fried chicken in spicy sauce-holy smokes-large pieces of chicken drowning in the spicy sauce,it was a flavor overload that I couldnt get enough of-I loved them-I think I ate 80% of them-sorry wife and daughter-I couldnt help myself,they were awesome,I'd always heard how good Korean chicken was but now I can vouch for it-it's really really great-do yourself a favor and get this dish-it's awesome. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the mood to try a traditional Korean restaurant in the Sacramento area,I would without a doubt recommend Modurang Korean restaurant-it was a pretty amazing place and I'm glad I tried it-hope you feel the same way if u try it one day. PS-forgot to mention that Blackberry wine was delicious-another surprise of the night-very enjoyable.

We got the seafood tofu soup, white meaning no spice. It was packed with seafood and we like it a lot. I wanted the fried flounder but they came out and said they were out of it. crap. they suggested the mackerel but that is the salty one but the wife said to try it but it was salty , She didn't like it much. The bones are big so easy to get rid of them. It was just ok. I think we won't order this again. Not as good as the flounder. We got the Galbi but it was really fatty tonight. Good flavor but less meat. Also got the fried chicken which is always yummy. Comes out really hot. It's funny that the server thought we ordered a lot but ate most of it . She don't know me hahaha. The food came out really quick since we were the only ones there. Felt like I booked the places just for us.

I would often come around noon during the week, and order the Thai chicken bento box. Unfortunately one of the days I came, I found a fingernail in the California roll. Bit into the roll, and the fingernail as well. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Immediately lost my appetite and wanted to throw up. I flagged my server down (all the employees here are super nice), and showed her the fingernail. She took it to the back and reported it to a manager or supervisor I suppose. When she came back she told me that their California rolls are pre-made, so if you're ordering these rolls BE CAREFUL. She offered to remake the bento box to which I shared no. I asked for my tab and when she came back she said it was on the house and did not ask me to pay (nice gesture, but I mean when you find a whole fingernail in your food, that's the least that can be done). Safe to save, I have not gone back since then and probably won't. If I did, I'm definitely staying far away from the California roll.
