Great food and decor and music! and our server gave us some great suggestions too! We had the bento boxes with the teriyaki beef and saba, (hubby had to mention that the salad was nice and ice cold!) and the box with salmon and sashimi (really great variety and value with the tempura, rice, salad & miso soup ) and I loved the truffle hamachi appetizer, really tasty. The sashimi was really fresh and good quality. We will be back to try other things on the menu next time! Love finding a new local gem in our backyard!

The chicken was fried perfectly, and they were good size pieces. The tempura was perfect also, lightly crispy and moist veggies ( broccoli, sweet potato, squash, mushroom, onion ring, and peppers). The servers are so nice, and very efficient. This place is a must try in the Nugget parking lot in Elk Grove

The location itself is in a busy plaza across from many busy plazas... but we decided to come here because the ramen photos looked fire. My daughter had the chicken katsu and I had the black mayu tonkotsu ramen with an add egg. The tonkotsu broth was delicious but the blackmayu was so over powering. Like a burst of unground black pepper . My daughters Kat's did not have flavor and the sauce taste unlike katsu sauce I had before. I would give the food a 3/5 but over all experience a 4/5

Ordered on DoorDash from this place. First time here and it was awesome!!…read more There are so many great buy one get one deals! We ordered mixed sashimi (2 for $28) Tempura shrimp (12 for $15) Tempura shrimp roll (2 rolls for $20) Sacramento roll - not on the BOGO but tasty! (Comes with soft shell crab inside) The sashimi was fresh and large in size - family was very happy Tempura was good and what you would expect from tempura shrimp. Came with a sweet dipping sauce. The order came with soy sauce, chopsticks and wasabi and ginger. Packed well and everything was very neat in the packaging. Will definitely be ordering from this place again. Glad they were on DoorDash otherwise we would never have been exposed to this place.

The rolls here is good so far I had the fatty toro roll , Hokkaido roll and the jackpot roll. My…read moreboyfriend usually likes to get the volcano roll. Today the roll was falling apart for his volcano roll. I ordered the Hokkaido roll and it came out before his I asked for ponzu sauce . I waited for ten minutes and had to ask again. When my roll came out my boyfriend asked for water. I had to ask for a few times. Even when his roll came out they didn't refill our water. We had to wait 20 minutes for the water and I asked about 4 times. I understand it's busy but it's hard to eat a roll when it's fried and you're thirsty. They sat us at a table with a shelf that had flowers with pollen. My nose was runny and I kept sneezing . The shelf was filled with spider webs and I have a fear of spider. I also went there on Saturday it was also busy. When I got my miso soup there was tofu on the outside of the bowl stuck on the side. At least wipe It off before you serve it . Don't get the chimchurri steak . The sauce taste weird . We ordered the beef oyakudon before and it was disgusting it was thick cuts of beef instead of thinly sliced beef . My favorite entree to get here is the bento box with teriyaki chicken and sesame chicken. I came here tonight and a few tables did not get their food they were complaining that they have been waiting for their food . I wish they would bring it out at the same time instead of one person waiting for 15 minutes for their food to come out . Overall some of the food is good and some are gross. But the service here can be better .

We ordered some cold green tea, and started our meal with 12 piece sashimi and an order of chicken karaage. I was craving the tonkatsu curry entree, hubs ordered the chicken katsu don and daughter ordered the sashimi don buri. While I didn't get pics of every one of our dishes, trust me when I say our plates were left clean. While this wasn't our first visit, it had been a while, and that's only because it's a small, but traditional Japanese shop that is ALWAYS crowded. Our delicious meals were a pleasant reminder that we need to be patient and get back to Yoshi soon, regardless of any wait!

Yoshi is a small mom and pop shop operated by a very friendly but minimal staff. The sign at the…read moredoor said "Closed" and even when mentioned they did not flip the sign over. Expect to wait an hour for your food after you have been seated. We arrived close to opening at noon on a Sunday and did not leave until 2pm which is when they close for lunch. We sat at the back right side of the restaurant which is where the AC is blasting so it can get very cold when seated here. We started with the Ika Maruyaki (Teriyaki grilled squid) and for $28 this was a miss. No tentacles were served and the squid did not taste very fresh. It's really not worth the price point and I don't recommend it. The next appetizer was the toro roll and I think I need to order more sushi next time. The fish was incredibly fresh with a perfect amount of rice and high quality nori. I ordered the tempura udon - you really can't go wrong with the tempura here. It has a crisply light batter that is not too thick or oily. My husband got the tonkatsu curry and this always hits. The curry is so aromatic with the warm spices and the katsu is perfectly battered and cooked.

It was a first time experience for me here this weekend, and the food was absolutely delicious. I was recommended the Roast Beef Aburasoba, and I must say it does not disappoint one bit. Along with this I tried the ponzu karaage and the gyoza, and they were definitely a good appetizer before the Aburasoba. My server, Dylan, made sure to make me feel as welcomed as possible, checked in on my day, and gave me a whole run-down of the menu. The service he provided was wonderful, always checking up on me and even making conversation. I saw him giving the same energy to all the customers and seeing the customers enjoying all the servers presence made me know I must write this. The setting of the store is amazing, I sat by the window seat and I did feel like I was at an authentic Japanese restaurant looking outside into the nice view. Amazing job Kajiken, keep it up!

There was a water jug refill on the table and he would always come around and refill it and check on how we were going.

I haven't been to Satori in years so I'm glad to return and say they are yummy and fresh! We…read morestarted off with seaweed and cucumber salad which is so incredibly delicious! I could snack on it for sure. The edamame is also something I could just snack on. It's covered with a sauce that is very addicting. We got a small boat that comes with sashimi, nigiri, and two rolls. All very fresh fish! The roll with the salmon on top was my fave. Their sauce on the rolls really bumps them up for me. We also got more salmon and tuna sashimi because we needed more! We also got this fried piece that's topped with spicy tuna, crab, avocado, and masago -- very delicious! I took away a star because I have had better raw fish from other places and there is just too much rice with the nigiri. The staff here are incredible! Satori is guaranteed for kind and attentive people.

So...if you are huge about cleanliness and sanitation I'll warn you now. But first let me say this:…read morethe one star is not for the food. The food was fine. We ordered a California roll and a tempura bento box. If you look at the picture it didn't come in a box. First Japanese place I've been to that this happened. The shrimp tempura may have been imitation shrimp. Not your traditional size. It's like Long John Silver fried shrimp. During the meal I heard the door open and smelled cigarette smoke. At first I thought it was a customer coming in and someone smoking around the door. When we were done with the meal the door opened again and again I smelled the smoke. THIS TIME I saw one of the sushi chefs walk in, grab his drink from behind the counter, put gloves on and proceed to do his job. HE DID NOT WASH HIS HANDS! He went straight back to work. Moments before that our server was eating something also behind the counter where they make the sushi. Now I don't eat sushi. My daughter does. But from what I know sushi is raw. Everything should be super sanitized. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I was beyond grossed out! I've worked at a restaurant before where they wash hands coming from the bathroom and first going into the kitchen. Twice. He didn't do it once! I told my daughter if she's feeling a bit sick to let me know. She said she's fine for now. How they got a PASS from the safety department I don't know.

Our server was young and we could tell she hasn't been doing this long, but she put in the most effort to make our meal nice and I was really blown away by how hospitable and happy she was to be there. That is hugely refreshing and so hard to find anywhere today. She brought me a basket to put my purse in under the table because I don't put it on the floor superstitiously. Our water glasses were always full. We were genuinely able to relax and have a nice time. The kitchen, however, had gotten overwhelmed before we got there and my stepdaughter's chicken donburi took over an hour to come out. I really don't want to fault them for that because it was a very busy day, but it might be a good idea to hire an extra line cook for the next big holiday. I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular day because I'm sure it will be 5 stars! The rolls were fantastic and creative (they're labeled on my photos.) I forgot to take a pic of the Osaka roll but it was devoured by my fiancé so it must have been delicious! The miso soup was full of mushrooms and had great umami flavor. The Sake nigiri was some of the freshest I've had recently and was buttery and delicious. Japanese food is my absolute favorite and this place delivered excellent service and flavor.

It was to our surprise that the host sat us at the worst seat in the entire building even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We were shocked to see a fire extinguisher at our table and an open supply closet (opened) right behind my seat. Why would the restaurant even create a seating area around these items and have us seat there. We asked to be moved and the worker seamed confused about our request to find better seating arrangements. After waiting a little bit, we walked out and let them know that we are unhappy. The staff didn't care and lit us walk out. We then drove to Folsom to eat at Aloha Sushi. I hope Mikuni's management reads my review and address the issue for future Birthday dinners.
