Nara Sushi was a pleasant surprise on a drive through Folsom. We were looking for a late lunch and…read moredecided to give it a try. Since it wasn't very busy when we arrived, we were seated right away. The dining room is fairly large, with a mix of tables, booths, and counter seating. Each table has a tablet for electronic ordering, but we decided to go old-fashioned and order through our server. We started with a large hot sake and six pieces of gyoza, asking our server to hold the entrées until we finished. The sake hit the spot and paired nicely with the gyoza. The gyoza tasted good but was just a bit harder than we'd like. For the main meal, I ordered a bento box with nigiri sushi and tempura, while the others chose a salmon teriyaki bento box and a Spicy Yellowtail Roll. My nigiri tasted fresh and nicely prepared. I also tried a piece of the Spicy Yellowtail Roll and found it to have a nice flavor profile. The salmon teriyaki was clean and sweet, with a natural salmon flavor, and was tender and juicy. The portions were generous, making for a satisfying meal, and everyone enjoyed their food, although my companions thought the tempura was a bit too oily. Despite the slightly firm gyoza and oily tempura, the good sake, generous portions, and relaxed atmosphere made for a very enjoyable lunch. The highlight for me was sipping the remaining sake and enjoying the nigiri.

It's the kind of place where a comforting bowl of noodles really hits the spot. I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, and it did not disappoint! The broth was rich, creamy, and packed with a deep, roasted garlic flavor. The tender pork chashu, noodles, mushrooms, and crunchy bean sprouts complemented each other perfectly. Everything came together for a hearty, satisfying bowl. Sometimes all you need is a good bowl of ramen, and this one delivered! The portions are generous, and the combination of flavors and textures makes this a great choice for anyone who enjoys a rich, savory ramen. Definitely worth digging into! Rex Tip: Before heading out, check out the little shop section to on left inside the restaurant! They have a fun selection of Japanese snacks, toys, and even Japanese Pokémon cards. It's a neat little bonus, especially for Pokémon fans and anyone who enjoys discovering unique Japanese treats.

We decided to come back to Pier 50 at the Palladio, and once again, it didn't disappoint! This was actually my third visit here and my second time coming with my wife. So far, every experience has been great. One thing I really like about this place is the atmosphere. It has a modern, upscale feel with high ceilings and nice lighting. It almost feels like you're dining at a high-end Japanese restaurant, but without the expensive price tag. For around $50-something per person, the all-you-can-eat sushi is an incredible value, especially considering the quality of the fish. You can enjoy premium selections like toro (fatty tuna), bluefin tuna, salmon roe, and even uni (sea urchin). The uni is limited to one order per person, which is understandable. If you've ever ordered premium sushi individually at a place like Mikuni, you know how quickly the bill adds up. Sometimes just two pieces of sushi can cost $15-$20. That's what makes Pier 50 such a good deal. You get to enjoy a wide variety of quality sushi without worrying too much about the cost of every order. We also tried several appetizers, grilled dishes, and other items on the menu. Everything was nicely presented, and we really enjoyed the variety. We had some drinks, took our time enjoying the food, and had a really pleasant evening together. The service was another highlight. Our server was polite, friendly, and professional, which made the whole experience even better. I know all-you-can-eat sushi isn't always associated with high quality, but I genuinely think Pier 50 does a great job balancing quality, variety, and price. It's not just about eating as much as you can. It's about being able to enjoy some really good sushi at a reasonable price. After three visits, I can confidently say this is one of my favorite sushi spots in the Folsom area. Whether you're planning a casual dinner, a date night, or just craving some quality sushi, I think it's definitely worth trying.

Taste is subjective, and what one person finds delicious, another may not. However, there are certain universal aspects of dining, such as customer service, cleanliness, communication, and overall hospitality, that every restaurant should strive to deliver. My reviews reflect the complete experience, not just what's on the plate. We decided to try Hasu Teriyaki & Sushi in Folsom for the first time and brought the kids along. Unfortunately, the experience got off to a rough start. When we walked in, there were several open tables, but no one greeted us or explained whether we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. A female employee saw us but didn't provide any direction, so we picked a table ourselves. After waiting for a bit with no acknowledgment, I had to get up and grab menus on my own. We spent about eight minutes deciding what to order (never easy with kids), but still no one came by. After another several minutes, I finally walked the few feet to the register and asked, "Are we supposed to order here or at the table?" The response was simply, "Yes, order here." After placing my order, I was immediately prompted to add a tip before receiving any service, which is something I personally find frustrating. Then I grabbed our cups to fill our drinks myself, only to find the ice machine was out of ice. At that point, it felt like we were striking out on every opportunity for a good first impression. It appears there's only one employee handling both the register and the dining area, which may explain some of the confusion. If that's the system, it would really help to have a sign letting customers know to seat themselves and order at the counter. There are only about seven tables inside, but without any guidance, the dining experience is confusing for first-time visitors. Once the food arrived, it was presented nicely. I ordered the Rainbow Roll and Dragon Roll, and visually they looked great. Unfortunately, I found the flavors to be underwhelming. The sushi was very mild, and even the wasabi had almost no heat. I added far more wasabi than I normally would, yet it barely had any kick. For someone who really enjoys sushi, the overall flavor just didn't stand out. The kids' non-raw rolls were also just average. To her credit, the employee did check on us twice after the food arrived, and she was friendly. I think she recognized that I was frustrated after spending roughly 15 minutes in the restaurant without any acknowledgment or explanation of how ordering worked. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible, but it wasn't one that makes me eager to return. Between the confusing service, lackluster first impression, and sushi that was simply average, I'd probably look elsewhere next time.

The menu is extensive and gave me a Cheesecake Factory vibe. I was a little skeptical when I saw dishes like udon pasta, cheesecake eggrolls, and green tea tiramisu on the menu. However, I was pleasantly surprised that their sushis were really fresh and expertly prepared. I got the Chirashi bowl, which is a chef's choice of fresh (raw) seafood over sushi rice. The seafood was very fresh, nicely cut, and quite plentiful. The sushi rice could have been more flavorful, but it was not bad at all. The rest of my party also enjoyed their sushi rolls. There is also an extensive drinks menu. This is a modern Japanese restaurant, with a lively atmosphere. I can see how this would be a great place for happy hour.
