I got the salmon sushi taco, while my mom and daughter got the unagi sushi taco. Everything was good, and we enjoyed our food! We also ordered the brown sugar matcha and passion peach tea. Both were delicious! We did ask for the sauces on the side since they tend to give a generous amount, so it's nice to have the option to add as much or as little as you want. I appreciate places that are generous with their portions and make sure their customers are taken care of. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! The place is a bit small but they have a good amount of customers coming in and out. I haven't had to wait and is usually seated right away! Always happy to support a local business, especially when the food and customer service keep you coming back.

I searched on Google and found this place…read more It's a cute little restaurant with lights of windows giving lots of nature light which I love so much. I went on a weekday around lunch time so I was empty and quiet... Love it. Since I was meeting my friend, it's nice to have the place to ourselves. Food/drinks: Thai Tea: love it! I like that they didn't put it in a regular cup. Crispy Pork Belly: it was okay. I was craving for crispy Pork Belly. I am use to the traditional crispy pork belly. This one is drenched in a sweet sauce which I know most people will like; however, I am just not a big fan of sweet pork. My friend love it though. Basil Ground/minced chicken: We enjoyed this dish. However, the same thing for me, it was a bit sweet for my taste. Gyoza: it was pretty good Service: the male server, was welcoming making our visit a better one. I definitely need to come back to try other food since there are so many good food options.

Pipo Ramen and Rice…read more I've been wanting to try Pipo Ramen and Rice since 2023, when it was ranked #11 on Yelp's list of places to eat in the Sacramento area. I've driven past this spot countless times but somehow never made it in, until now! I stopped by on a Saturday before noon, and the restaurant was pretty quiet, with only a few tables occupied. The interior is modern, clean, and well kept, making it a nice spot for a casual meal. After looking over the menu, we decided on the Pad Thai with Shrimp (medium heat) and Panang Curry with Chicken (medium heat). While ordering, our server also recommended the Pipo Salad, essentially their take on papaya salad. They offer it Lao or Thai style, and we went with the Thai style with mild heat. Once the food came out, the first thing I noticed was the portion sizes, everything was much bigger than I expected, especially considering the reasonable prices. These are definitely portions that are easy to share family-style. The Pipo Salad had tons of flavor, and I really enjoyed being able to taste the vinegar and fish sauce. One thing to note, though: I ordered it mild, but this ended up being the spiciest dish on the table! I'd say the heat was closer to a medium, while the Pad Thai and curry were much milder. The Pad Thai was solid. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the flavor was there. The Panang Curry was good, although I personally wished both the Pad Thai and curry had a little more heat. Luckily, our server brought out some condiments, including Thai pepper fish sauce, which was excellent with the curry and gave it the extra kick I was looking for. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving Pipo Ramen and Rice a try. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and there's a good variety of dishes I'm looking forward to exploring on my next visit. My only real complaint is that the spice levels seem a little inconsistent. I wanted my Pad Thai and curry to be spicier, but at the same time, I didn't want my mouth completely on fire. Hopefully I can find that perfect balance next time! Would I come back? Absolutely. I've still got plenty of the menu to work my way through!

The broth is flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The white tonkotsu is also very good if you're in the mood for something richer and creamier. Definitely don't skip the geso either! It's delicious and one of our favorite things to order alongside the ramen. Alternatively, if you're not in the mood for noodles, they have an excellent Tonkatsu Donburi. Ryujin can get pretty crowded around dinner, especially on colder nights when everyone seems to have the same idea, so I'd recommend planning accordingly and being prepared for a possible wait. It's worth it, though! Great ramen, authentic flavors, and a spot we're always happy to come back to.

There were not many people eating a late lunch. The place is clean and wall kept with plenty of seating. We opted for the black garlic Ramen and the spicy tonkatsu Ramen. Both were flavorful just not the best we've ever had. The black garlic Ramen was flavorful enough, and the portion was good to fill me up. The spicy tongue Katsu was not spicy at all and they didn't bring or offer any additional condiments like chili oil. We waited for someone to come back, but by that time we had already eaten half of our bowls. It wouldn't be my go to Ramen place in Sacramento as I would like to try other places before coming back. But if you're looking for a hearty bowl of soup that is fairly priced and decent, this is a good option.

I asked for sauce on the side for my mine and my child's dish. Good thing I don't use a lot of sauce because they didn't even bother to give any sauce with the kid's dish. I had the beef & chicken teriyaki combo. The beef had some overly hard/chewy parts but it was an enjoyable meal in general. The chicken was cooked well. Service was overall fine. I had to ask for things a couple times repeatedly. So although they seemed to be forgetful, service was friendly. I'd definitely go again to eat out, especially since some of those lunch specials sound good.

Although the food was not traditional Japanese food, it was decent. The server did not know that "nasubi" is Japanese eggplant when discussing options for tempura. There was a request for the broccoli tempura to be substituted with zucchini, however the server had to be reminded of the substitution as broccoli tempura was served. Complimentary cucumber, seaweed, and ginger salad was served. It was delicious as the seaweed complimented the cumber well and the ginger provided additional flavor. The sesame chicken and karaage was cooked perfectly and was not overcooked. Additional sauce for the sesame chicken was provided. The karaage was very flavorful. The dinner combo also included a spicy bean sprout salad which complimented the chicken and rice well. It was very busy on a Sunday during dinnertime. Service was good as the employees were friendly, refilled water, and checked to ensure the food was good.

Our party of 7 came in around 9 pm on a Saturday evening without a reservation. We only waited…read moreabout 15 minutes to be seated. The waiter quickly greeted us and got us going with drinks and appetizers within minutes. We started with a bucket of karaage and a cabbage-wakame slaw. The karaage was phenomenal, with enough light breading on the outside to keep the meat nice and juicy on the inside. The pieces were mostly nice and big, and there was plenty to go around the table. The large bowl of slaw nicely balanced the bowl of meat, and I loved how it didn't lack an ounce of crunchiness. It was such a colorful dish with bright flavors. The Brussels sprout dish we didn't order but ended up getting delivered to the table by accident (our server was kind enough to let us keep it). Nonetheless, we're definitely ordering that next time because, as my friend put it, they were some of the best Brussels we've ever had. The crisp was just right, and with the added texture of the cashews and mint layered in, it was on another level. Having been to this establishment before and normally ordering noodles, I decided to go with the miso chicken donburi. I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I went ahead and left them in there so I could experience the dish as it was meant to. Verdict: still not a huge mushroom fan (the pieces were a decent size despite being cut), but the onions two ways worked overtime, bringing in enough flavor to cover that up for me. The egg was a bit softer than I am used to, but the dish had so much crunch that I could hardly tell once I mixed everything. The only wish I had for this dish was for it to have more chicken. It had such a good coating of marinade that it left me wanting even more. Just amazing, especially for the fairly low price point. I know I'll keep coming back. My friend, as well as I, will always recommend it.
