    Ichiban roll

    The Frying Pan! Dixon, how I have missed you these past two years!! I am so happy to be back working back in town! I get to enjoy all my favorite Dixon eateries again! Now back to regular programming! Haha What can I say, this place won my heart the minute I took my first bite of their deep fried spicy tuna jalapeño poppers! The spice from the jalapeño, hot cream cheese and spicy tuna!! Oh my goodness, chef's kiss!! I have had endless dinner dates here, and the service has always been wonderful! The food is really good, all I can speak for is the sushi and appetizers. I haven't been to Dixon in awhile, but it seems like they have a lot more dishes! I usually order online, and pick up after work! Food is piping hot and fresh! Nestled in Dixon downtown, it's just a nice, relaxing atmosphere and if you been to Dixon, you already know! Lots of parking on the streets, no parking garages! But you will find a spot! Please visit this little gem when in Dixon!

    Literally THEE best sushi restaurant in Solano County, hands down. I've been going to this family owned business since high school. The owner really knows his craft and you can just taste it. The service is always top notch and I love the interior. My go to order is the Omega 3 (one of the best items but no longer on the menu as no one ordered it), baked mussels, and Treble Forte! I've had everything on the menu but these are my absolute favs. If you love fresh, tasty, and mind blowing sushi.. you'd be foolish to not give them a try if you're in the area.

    So generous and delicious! The rolls were huge, I've never seen anything like it. I was amazed by the generous portions, surprised again by the rich flavors, and truly impressed by the kind and attentive service. There was so much food that I ended up taking the leftovers home and they easily covered dinner, too. I just have to say, this place is the best! Highly recommend!

    Food is 5 star!!!! Service is impeccable!!! Friendly, knowledgeable, absolutely amenable service by Elisa!!! My friend asked if she could ask the server to recommend and give highlights on the dishes she was serving, and she didn't hesitate to inform us and describe everything being served!!! Excellent, excellent, EXCLUSIVELY EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! Ambiance was so cute! We sat in the middle section with all these cool, quirky writings on the wall, which really stood out as individual and creative! This place has a homey, welcoming vibe you just can't find anywhere else!!! Highly recommend!!!! Thank you Elisa for exceptional service!!!!

    Super thin slice of hamachi

    The shrimp tempura was the highlight. Lightly battered shrimp fried to a crisp. I also appreciated the side salad. I ordered a bento box with tempura and hamachi nigiri. The presentation was totally unappealing. While the tempura was good, the gyoza seemed store bought and frozen. The hamachi was sliced super thin (any thinner and you could see through it), additionally it was warm. Yuck! We also ordered the rainbow roll, but it never came. Sorta glad that the server failed to put it in, given the state of the hamachi nigiri. My companion ordered the salmon teriyaki which was incredibly dry. Salmon with all its oil is a forgiving fish --- hard to mess up. But they managed to do that. Lastly, I purchased Sapporo, poured it in glass that I later realized had a chip. We won't be coming back.

    Excellent sushi. Cannot recommend highly enough. They have countless menu options, and everything I tasted was great. The edamame were good, and the Crazy Monkey roll that I had was delicious. Presentation was top notch too. Not super expensive, especially for quality sushi. We went on a Tuesday for lunch, and it was pretty quiet. Not sure if it gets busy at other times. Looking forward to returning soon.

    Absolutely delicious!!! My husband took me on a date...this restaurant was highly recommended by his coworker and he was so right! To date this is my FAVORITE sushi restaurant...and we eat a lot of sushi! The server was new and did her best! Wasn't busy so it worked out! We cannot wait to go back and take our daughter that could eat sushi on the daily!

    Beef bulgolgi bowl

    Food was okay. Place was a bit odd. Not sure how recently they took it over from the last place. I remember half of the space being a Mexican restaurant a while ago. The building itself smelled terrible... like a cow barn. That's unfortunate and there's probably nothing the restaurant can do about it. I ordered the Ichiban roll. It was okay. Sushi rice was mushy and overcooked, but the tobiko has enough pop to provide a bit of contrasting texture to save it. Hubby ordered the bulgolgi bowl; it was horribly bland. No sauce??? Weird. It needs something--a bibimbap sauce, katsu sauce, something. That was a huge miss. I appreciated the large menu for kids bentos. I especially loved that they did more than the typical meat and rice combo. There was an inclusion of edamame which finally provided a healthy veggie side for a kids meal with was awesome. Service and servers were nice. Food was a little too expensive for the quality for me though.

    Pepper fin
    Devre C.

    Just moved to Dixon and this is THE sushi spot we have been going to. Four out of Five stars because of the smell the restaurant has is kind of like hibachi and lingers on your clothes. Also, there are no refills for sodas because they only serve soda cans. Pepper Fin is amazing and flavorful - just don't get it if you don't like fishy tastes. Samurai roll was also yummy, especially with the garlic mayo. Bento box has chicken Katsu and shrimp tempura. Both were tender and crispy! The salad and miso comes with it and they were both hella good too! Husband had the crazy cat lady and he enjoyed it as well. Great customer service!!

    I have eaten here twice now and it's hands down the BEST sushi in town/solano county in my opinion. Everything is fresh and deliciously put together. If you have not yet eaten here you should definitely add it to the list!

    I drive literally 30 miles to get this sushi. There are approximately 9-10 places where I can get sushi near me and they don't even compare. It may be a mom and pop place but I enjoy that even more. It is downtown Dixon so the place has some history. The staff is great, the sushi is fresh and tastes awesome, and great prices for the quantity. I have brought many people there that agree. We love Tom, Cielo, Grace and the rest of the staff!

    The Frying Pan never disappoints. This time we got a lot of appetizers and they were absolutely killer! The Jalapeño Poppers were just the right amount of spicy with sauces that brought out the flavor. The potstickers were nice and crisp, and softened up with soy sauce. The rolls are always delicious, packed with a lot of flavor and never that bad fishy smell or taste. Amazing work as always! Inside is very well laid out and a little darker creating a nice comfortable atmosphere. The staff are always amazing and make sure to check on you to make sure everything is perfect. 11/10 if I could!

    Bento box
    Michelle R.

    This is the best sushi and more. A wide variety of delicious foods and meats. I never leave disappointed it's a must try if you haven't been here. Very reasonable prices. The bento boxes are a great way to get a sample of what foods you like. I don't know what the salad dressing is but it's just fabulous makes your tastebuds go crazy. Great place for casual or special occasions.

We put…read moreour name down at around 5:30 pm and it was about a 30 minute wait for a table to become available. The setup was pretty interesting with tables on the side and a conveyor belt with the center where the chefs are working and seating lined around that. The staff were kind and helpful in explaining how it all worked being that it was all you can eat. First, there is a menu where you can place orders with the staff for things like appetizers and drinks. We got some sodas and ordered items such as edamame, miso soup and grilled salmon teriyaki. Then in the center where the conveyor belt is, you can walk around to it and pick up plates that you want to try. It mostly seemed like nigiri and rolls that they were commonly making. In the center, the chef station is between the conveyor belt area and there you can order more specific items you want to try like a roll, sashimi or handrolls. We chose to order some different sashimi like salmon and yellowtail and handrolls like the spider and alaska. They also make a bunch of extra dishes that you can take off the shelf as well. For the price and the experience, we thought it was very enjoyable from the multitude of options to the freshness of the items.

Food: Everything we ordered was fresh and beautifully presented. The sashimi platter was high quality with a great variety, and you could really taste the freshness.

    I ordered from DoorDash so this review will be a bit limited…read more The prices for the food are pretty affordable! On DoorDash the deluxe entree options with seafood like lobster and scallops are around $30. The non-deluxe options are around $20-25. The entrees come with grilled veggies and fried rice. We also ordered gyoza. Everything arrived still hot. The gyoza was still nice and crispy. The dipping sauce for the gyoza has some red pepper flakes in it so prepare for a kick. The fried rice is really flavorful and there's a lot of it. In those three compartment take out containers it fills the largest compartment. The scallops were cooked well and seasoned well. I appreciate that you have your choice of doneness for the steak. Next time I would add some miso soup or salad as sides. The entrees were good but without something fresh or soup to balance it out it started to edge on the verge of a little too salty for my taste. For a meal for two people (with leftovers) the total came out to around $66 on DoorDash. I'm sure the pricing is better in-store. Koi Express Hibachi is a great alternative for when you're craving some Benihana style cuisine in this area without the long drive and waiting.

The chicken was dry and lacked flavor, even with the teriyaki sauce. My husband ordered the spicy tuna roll, which tasted like canned tuna mixed with spicy sauce. However, the rolls were cut in a nice bite-sized shape; not too large, not too small. The food was very mediocre.
