We ate here on a Saturday night as a party of 7, including 2 kids. The food was good (4 stars), but the service needs improvement. Our orders came out after about 25 minutes, but my son's order was forgotten and only arrived when almost everyone else had finished eating. We understand that busy nights can be challenging, but staff should double-check orders and communicate better when there are delays. Nevertheless, apology was accepted We also asked for spoons and forks and noticed the waiter handling the utensils with bare hands while the eating ends were facing up, which raised concerns about proper hygiene. Overall, the food was good, but better attention to order accuracy, communication, and proper utensil handling would make a big difference. We hope management takes this feedback constructively to improve the dining experience.

Sunrise roll on top and Yon roll on the bottom
Ursula O.

I met up with someone special I haven't seen for years and they suggested Wabune Sushi because the food here was so tasty on their last visit. We got here right at opening time (12 p.m) and sat right away. There is a host stand at the front and a you get back further, you can choose to sit right up at the sushi bar or at a partial table/booth. We both started out with iced waters. After quite a bit of time and talking and admiring their fish lights and wall decor, we started with an appetizer- Wicked shrimp. It is tempura shrimp stuffed with crab mix, special sauce, green onions, and topped with sesame seeds. Those were creamy and delicious! For our sushi, our rolls looked similar. My friend ordered the Sunrise roll- shrimp tempura with crab mix with avocado, unagi sauce, cream sauce, green onion, and masago- but without the sauces. I ordered the Yon roll- shrimp tempura, crab mix, avocado, salmon, lemon, unagi sauce, creamy sauce, green onion, masago, and mg... idk what mg is. Mine was very tasty and instead of green onions, it had micro greens. I loved that super thin slice of lemon with each bite. The salmon tasted very fresh and the lemon gave it a superior taste! Our server was very patient with us as we sat for a long while and caught up. We both used the bathroom... which was only one of two negatives I saw while we were there. It was filthy. The baby changing table is definitely not safe unless you put down a protection sheet or blanket before you lay your child down... stains on the sink and a dirty trash can you have to push your use paper towels into... I know that is not what we were here for, but this review is based upon all aspects of my visit. Also, the water we ordered tasted like pond water. Thankfully, I travel with a case of water in my car. Our food and service was great. The interior designs on the walls and lighting was unique and fun to look at. I look forward to trying something different next time I come.

Stopped by for lunch while out running errands! The place is small but quaint. The waitress who helped us was nice! Their price was a bit high but the food is decent.

Food was super good and service was also good. The ambience of the place isn't as great in my opinion. Very quiet inside and kind of awkward. I have only ordered Togo from this restaurant and it was my first time dining in. I would dine in again if it's busy inside or at least 7 tables filled. I was alone with my wife and it seemed a bit awkward because it was only us 2 inside the restaurant. But the thing I would recommend them doing is playing music. It's very quiet inside

Came here because I saw a video on IG and it went hard, but it was very empty when we came for dinner. Overall experience was decent but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. We got 2 sushi rolls & fried ika. Nothing too unique. Most of their rolls seemed to be very similar to each other so they all kind of tasted the same. The fried ika was nice, they had 2 type of calamari and we picked this one because it seemed a bit more traditional. It was fried very nicely. Interior is cute, very small.

Great place for Japanese food! We came in and were seated immediately. Our drink orders were taken while we looked at the menu. Once our food orders were taken, it didn't take long for them to arrive at our table. And the staff were always there for you, for additional orders or drink refills. The place was beautifully decorated! The decor was pleasing to the eyes, and the place was well lit. And most of all, the price was really affordable. Compared to our preferred Japanese place, Wabune runs circles around it - for the service, for the ambiance, the quality of the food and especially the price! If you're in the area and looking for Japanese, this is the place!

Even smaller cut of sashimi
Kris C.

I love supporting local spots, but I was disappointed with my visit today. I've been here several times (dine-in, takeout, and DoorDash) and usually enjoy their rolls, selection of premium fish like toro and uni, and the customer service has always been good. However, the sashimi portion today was very small--especially for $45. The pieces looked like they were cut in half and the amount didn't feel worth the price. There was also a lot of lemon placed in the middle, which affected some of the fish. I'll still come back for rolls and nigiri, but I'll be skipping the sashimi and chirashi going forward.

Chefs creation

We absolutely love this sushi restaurant. Everyone has such a great attitude and are very nice. The chefs do ana amazing job. Splurge and get the chefs creation roll. We get it every time we go, and they always make it different than the time before. Perfection every time! We are excited to try their Omakase experience next!

Dragon and rocky rolls
Victoria T.

Came in on a Monday night and it was pretty empty. Kind of a dimly lit restaurant. We ordered the ika geso and it was probably my favorite dish of the night. Also got the beef pan fried noodle. I wasn't really a fan of the noodle texture. It seemed too firm but the dish came with lots of beef. Also has veggies like carrot, broccoli, and zucchini. Got the rocky and dragon rolls and both were yummy!

A new neighborhood sushi joint ? Yes! It's exactly what we needed . When I had seen that soho express had went out of business and wabune took over , I was really happy ! The pictures of what wabune had to offer looked really good ! Eric is always so nice when seating people and both chef Mike and chef g do everything so well when it comes to preparing diand making sure customers satisfaction is a top priority . I'm here every week and recommend some of my favorites : hamachi carpaccio , albacore on fire , the Taj Mahal, yon , amazing torched , and the Chu toro . Everything from the ambiance , food, and customer service is top notch . I highly recommend !

Veggie Udon
Angela L.

I recently had lunch here with my husband and another couple. Service was genuinely friendly. I had Tonkatsu Ramen. I realize this is first and mostly a sushi restaurant, not a Ramen restaurant. I felt my Ramen was underwhelming, with the broth lacking in depth of flavor. I also missed a few ingredients that are often (not always) used, such as Kikurage mushrooms and bamboo shoots. The chashu was tasty. My husband had Veggie Udon, which he liked quite a bit. It came with a few rectangular blocks of steamed tofu, and also had several pieces of broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms, and cucumber. He found the noodles cooked to his liking, and the broth tasty. The other couple in our party both enjoyed their selections. So, overall, a very good experience. For me, it was a 3 out of 5, but as the others all enjoyed their picks more, and for the friendly service, I'm going to bump it up to 4.

Aiko has closed! I dined at Aiko less than 2 weeks ago and had the most amazing sushi! So…read moredisappointed to find out that the restaurant closed just about a week later. That's the second time within 2 weeks that I've dined at a sushi restaurant in Rancho/Folsom area and then they've closed the next week. Is this a curse? Hopefully not. I still wanna give this restaurant five stars, because I literally had the best chirashi of my life. The bowl was so beautiful presented, there were so many excellent fishes in the chirashi, the fish was fresh and delicious, they provided the better wasabi, and...it was so exceptional! In addition to the salmon and yellowtail and walu, the bowl had bluefin tuna, seared salmon belly, seared bluefin tuna, and toro! They also had good tamago. This trumped all chirashi bowls and most sushi restaurants ever. My friend got the chicken teriyaki and it looked delicious. They gave plenty of dark meat chicken, with tempura, and miso soup. This was a destination sushi restaurant, worth going out of your way for. I can't believe I just discovered this restaurant, but it had been around for years. They had plenty of seating, with Thursday night football playing on the TV at the bar area. The service was fairly good as they were getting pretty busy as the evening went on. The sushi was so amazing. Aiko closing is not okay.

This place is a gem. Visited for our 2nd time this past…read moreWednesday and everything was delicious! We ordered a few rolls and their large sashimi platter (my teen's eyes are always larger than her appetite) we enjoyed each selection except the sea urchin - not any fault of theirs. We all tried it before (elsewhere) and agreed we will be absolutely fine if we never had it again. Aside for that, each piece was exceptionally fresh and satisfied our cravings. Our server was great! She was friendly and so patient with us. We were just chatting away each time she checked in on us and we truly appreciate her insight and suggestions from what to order to travels (we just happened to be discussing overseas travels with our teen who spends money like she has deep pockets). This place will definitely be in our circulation.

Gamsahamnida! Back…read moreagain, and the food and service continue to be great! The chicken katsu is still one of the best I've had--light, crispy, and perfectly crunchy on the outside, with juicy, tender chicken inside. Every visit has been consistently delicious, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I also tried the spicy pork again. It's a bit different from the Korean spicy pork I'm used to. Instead of the pork being marinated so the flavor is deeply infused, it seems to be grilled first and then coated with the sauce. While it's not the traditional style I expected, it's still flavorful and worth trying if you're open to a different take on the dish. In addition the chicken gangjeong dish that requires it to be "deep fried chicken" needs additional time to get crunchy like you would expect. I think the sauce may have made the crunch disappear. The consistency in both the food and the service is what keeps bringing me back. I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu. Other: -plenty of parking -bathroom inside -on hot days it's a little warm in the restuaruant *local family business*

But…read moreafter eating here, I couldn't help but wonder.. if the food is this good, why not make it available to everyone all the time? My favorite item was the Seoul Gimbap. The rice-to-filling ratio was perfect, and it tasted freshly rolled. If you're looking for Korean drinks, they've got those too, although the open table layout doesn't quite create the cozy pocha atmosphere. Overall, it's a great spot when you're craving a quick Korean fix. I'll definitely be back, mostly for the gimbap.

I will preface my review by saying I hate to leave bad reviews. Restaurant business ownership can…read morebe hard enough but when a review is truly necessary, good or bad, it should be left and this is one of those situations. I will start with the good and reason for 2 stars and not 1. The food was good. The salmon was well cooked (not dry/overcooked as many Japanese restaurants can be guilty of) and the rolls were all prepared very well by the chefs. Now for the negative. A lot of Rancho restaurants are not packed at night so it's not a reflection of this place that it was empty upon entry. I'm just referencing that to emphasize there wasnt an excuse for what I'm about to explain. Our small group of 4 adults and 2 kids were seated and greeted upon entry. Drink orders were taken and we were told chopsticks and forks would be brought (they never were). We placed our order before the party of about 10 came in and placed theres and that's when the wheels fell off. The rolls came out promptly, however, the three bento boxes and soup didn't. We waited and waited and waited. 30+ minutes go by and nothing. Finally one of the bento boxes comes after probably 45 out but the server started to give it to the other party. We had to quickly flag the server down to tell him it was ours. More time starts to pass and our remaining 2 bento boxes still haven't come. We see our bento boxes get placed down on the counter where they sat. The server took them to the kitchen and didn't reappear with them until moments later when he promptly gave them to the other party. Before we could flag him down AGAIN, the two members of the other party started digging in (despite one of them telling us outside that his friend knew it wasn't his but didn't want to wait any longer). So now it's been over 45 minutes and while our whole party is basically finished with their food, two of us still have nothing. Here's where it gets worse... We flag down our server, who hadn't checked on us thinking he might recognize, "hey, you don't have your food. That doesn't seem right." Nope. When we ask if our food is coming, he said the kitchen screwed him up and he could only bring out food as fast as they make it. We then tell him we are pretty sure he gave our food to the other table, he looked flustered and said he would check. The stand in sushi chef (very nice guy) came by to apologize and try to alleviate the blame from the server to him. Very kind of him but not true. The server then twice brought us the other party's food, but we did the right thing and said, no, that's not ours. Eventually 1 bento box came out but not the 2nd. When I asked if it was coming, they all looked shocked as in "uh oh, it happened again." I told them to cancel the order because we didn't have another hour to wait for food. The server then brought out the miso soup ordered at the beginning of the night. But wait, there's more. The bill finally comes and what do we see, an automatic 18% gratuity has been applied. I get it, the menu says parties of 6 or more. But in a fubar case like this, I think it's fair to leave that up to the party. The fill in chef adjusted the bill to remove the automatic gratuity to leave it up to us after I asked for such. He again apologized profusely despite it not being his fault. After the server brought our checks back and said sorry, he asked if there was anything else that was missed that we needed. I couldn't tell if that was rhetorical or if he was asking something he wanted to ask two hours prior. Either way, we said no, paid, and got up to leave. Now for the cherry on top. There are two doors. One in the middle of the restaurant with a sign on the OUTSIDE saying to use the other door but nothing on the inside saying it's an emergency exit or broken, etc and a door by the host stand. We watched two people exit out of the door in the middle of the restaurant and since it was closest, we exited out that door. As one of the children in our party was exiting, the metal blinds crashed down on her, cutting her collar bone skin. As we checked on her, the chef said not to worry about the blinds but no one checked on the child. He then promptly closed the door. W....t....f. As we stood outside wondering what just happened, we were approached by a gentleman from the other dining party. He then said, "Was that not the most horrendous experience you've ever had?" We then commiserated for a few minutes, him telling us about the wrong orders at their table and listening to our experience while we told him they ate our bento boxes and we had to cancel one of our orders. Truly a night to forget but a truly good bad story. It's experiences like this that make you wonder if you're on Punk'd. Long story short, food is good, service is horrible. Find somewhere else to go.

Both of the restaurants were all you can eat sushi restaurants, with very similar menus. The salmon sushi pieces were good, but the yellowtail was a little fishy so I stopped ordering yellowtail and continued to order more salmon. We enjoyed the cooked food and desserts. The staff and waitress were nice, but not too speedy. The restaurant was large and pretty casual. The decor was a little plain in the room that we sat in.

Before tip, it's about $40/pp. You best believe we ordered a lot! Our server was kind, attentive, and efficient. She came over right away and took our drink and appetizer orders. I ordered about half of the listed appetizers. Favorites were the shrimp and veggie tempura and the shrimp fried rice. Miso soup served a good hot temperature with seaweed and tofu and not too salty. Good start with edamame and seaweed salad. We ordered most of the teriyaki proteins. Great char on the chicken and the beef was so tender. We asked for mixed sashimi plate. The presentation was disappointing (very plain) and so was the taste. Didn't look or taste the freshest. The hamachi and salmon yama were both nicely fried with crispy skin. Maybe a bit overdone, but was still good. The sea steak salad was very fresh, thinly cut, and had a kick. Another favorite! We also had their dim sum, the shrimp har gow being the best. Soft shell crab tasted like burnt oil. The fried banana for dessert would've been better but was over fried. I suggest ordering fried items early. Ice cream was Melona bars on a stick and our server said they also had mochi ice cream, not on the menu. Oh, and they were out of oysters. Overall, food was probably 3 stars but service was good and pretty fast with all the food coming out. Wishing AKAME good luck. That location is kinda hidden and next to a sketch hotel/apartment complex.

The 3 pc sake sashimi that came in the bento was not that good...thin, lame cuts. Unimpressive. So the second time, I ordered the large 15 piece sashimi bowl for dinner. It came with 4 pieces of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and 3 pieces of albacore. The cuts were much better...larger, thicker, and better parts of the fish. The type of tuna was ordinary and to me, not that enjoyable. I liked the salmon and yellowtail much more. The albacore was okay. The large 15 pc sashimi bowl came with miso soup and salad, which were good. It would be better with a small bowl of rice. I also tried the deluxe bento with Korean BBQ ribs. I enjoyed the ribs and felt their cooked food might be better than raw. The staff were really nice and polite. They brought out items we requested, and never rushed us. Great customer service. The restaurant is large with plenty of seating for big and small groups. They had some weekly specials and a happy hour menu (4-6pm), but nothing on the happy hour menu appealed to me. There's also a sushi bar counter where you can sit and watch sports on the tv. Nice casual atmosphere. Soho Sushi is a Good Japanese restaurant in Rancho Cordova.
