Top Japanese Restaurant in Citrus Heights
FUKUMI RAMEN - Citrus Heights
5410 Sunrise Blvd #2, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, United States
I ordered takeout here for the first time and chose the Midori Ramen and a Kids Ramen (added $2 to include a seasoned egg) through Toast.My son enjoyed the kids ramen but was just a little disappointed that it didnt come with Naruto.I really enjoyed the Midori Ramen. I was already interested by the name (I believe Midori can mean green in Japanese) and the broth is indeed green with basil and pesto, which Ive never had in a ramen broth before and had to try. Everything was pretty much delicious for about $16 for the Midori Ramen. The quality is great. The broth tasted rich and flavorful and the noodles were filling. The chasu seemed a bit more on the fatty side (just the way I like it) but it was thick and juicy. My only complaint about it is that there were few portions of the chasu yet it was sooo good. The egg was sliced in half and a little bit soft boiled (I wish it was more soft boiled) but I guess its a good balance for those who might not like their yolk to be too runny. I only give it 4 stars because of the bean sprouts. I just dont think watery, crunchy sprouts pair well with this ramen so since I ordered takeout, I chopped up some woodear mushrooms and tossed them in and the ramen tasted so much better.The parking lot was tight/small/cramped and I was lucky to find a spot to park but thankfully, my experience with the restaurants service was quick. My order was already ready by the time I arrived at the restaurant, before the ETA given. The staff was friendly; they greeted me and asked for the name of the order and verified the order with me before handing it over. I dont live in this area and its about a 30 minute drive from my home so I probably wont frequent this ramen shop but I had a lovely takeout experience so I might consider heading back here again someday.
Mizuki Sushi
5500 Sunrise Blvd #500, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, United States
I gotta say, this place was much better than Bento Box Midtown! The pricing is comparable- I mean if rolls are ALWAYS 50%OFF, then why not just put the discounted price on the menu?? Idk ijs??Anyhoo- The Food!Miso soup was HOT (as soup should be) and just enough to satisfy my Miso cravings! It was perfectly delicious ?!!!I also had Fried Tofu with my soup- they call it something else (I dont remember lol) because its not listed as fried tofu on the menu...these symmetrical cubes were uniformly dusted (on EVERY SIDE) with panko, perfectly deep-fried and presented with thin strips of Nori❤️ (BB Tofu only had panko on top, random sized/cut pieces-fried and thrown into a styrofoam box).The two rolls I had were really good! Spicy tuna roll (which was deep fried- I dont know what happened- I thought I was paying attention but I really wasnt because I assumed it would be raw lol but thats on me! It was still delicious! Roll #2 was the J and J with crab mix and Shrimp, it too was delicious.One thing tho that was disappointing- they didnt have coffee (I thought EVERY restaurant had coffee ?☕) so then I asked for tea- THEY WERE OUT OF TEA!!! How is that even possible that at 2pm on a moderately busy afternoon (not at all what I expected for a Mothers Day) can you possibly be OUT OF TEA?!? AT A SUSHI RESTAURANT OF ALL PLACES?!? ??? But that alone didnt warrant me taking away any stars, the food, presentation and ambiance was the perfect setting for THIS mother on Mothers Day!So GO, on ANY day and be satisfied and satiated (those words mean the same thing but I wanna use them anyway sooo...?) Portion sizes are more than enough for any appetite! I couldnt finish all of mine after first having tofu and Miso soup! You wont be disappointed! Waitstaff was amazing too!!❤️❤️❤️

Teriyaki To Go
5439 Sunrise Blvd, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, United States
Not a fan of the changes new ownership has made. Cutting quantity and quality at every corner:- Smaller bowls. Now 15 oz, down from 24 oz. Same size as a panda bowl from Panda Express. Way less rice and meat. The new black plastic bowls also do not retain heat as well as the old styrofoam ones so now when you pop it open it's just regular warm instead of piping hot.- Way less sauce. They limit you at 2-2.5 scoops. Used to get 4-5 every time with the old couple no problem. Sauce is also now served on the side, in a cup that's about 1-1.5 scoops tops. They no longer ask how many scoops you want. All good though, because…- Sauce has been watered down significantly. So you're not going to want more than 2 scoops anyway lol.- Default tip is now set to 15% on the new payment system, which is pretty aggressive considering the above changes. Old owners didn't even have a tip prompt lol. I'd happily tip if none of the above changes were made.- Grillmaster is still the same lady so at least the bbq quality is still the same ??All in all, I get it, the prices of ingredients and goods have skyrocketed everywhere, but the old owners had already increased their prices multiple times over the past two years. And downsized from 32 oz bowls to 24 oz. Always had customers. I highly doubt they were doing that poorly. These changes just seem like the new owners attempt to squeeze every ounce of profit out of the place, rather than a survival move. Unfortunately it is at the expense of maintaining repeat customers. Bye!“Look at how they massacred my boy…”
Sushi Star
7777 Sunrise Blvd #2000, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, United States
This was the most disappointing sushi restaurant and dining experience Ive had in Sacramento. For context, there were 4 of us, my wife and two children. My wife is a career bartender/server/trainer at a steakhouse, so were super chill and easy with servers and restaurants. We get it, bad nights happen. But they can be corrected by a little bit of hospitality and the eventual arrival of good food. There will be none of that here.For the tl;dr - Drive a mile up the street to Bonsai Sushi, youll get better service, MUCH larger portions, and better food.The whole experience started with red flags. The restaurant was full so we sat at the sushi bar. The sushi chef didnt acknowledge us, there was none of the usual hospitality one would expect for sitting at the bar. The servers were very invested in moving my family from the bar to the table, which is fine. Mind you, we eat out at sushi a lot, sitting at the bar is no big deal... but fine, all good.We ordered our appetizers, food, and drinks. Some appetizers arrived, some didnt. Pretty sure one of them got shipped to another table in the chaos. The other tables order got to us like 20-30 minutes later.After the first touch, the servers wouldnt make eye contact with me. All I wanted was to order a second beer, and it wasnt like I was slamming them down. Eventually I was able to eye one into coming over and I ordered another beer, at this point I also reminded them of the missing apps. That was legit like 45+ minutes later.The restaurant was churning out to go orders while we sat waiting, along with other the customers. (Recommendation: Quote longer to-go times and take care of the house first.)Slightly over an hour after ordering (for SUSHI!) our food arrived. The hand roll wasnt a cone, looked nothing like the picture, it was a small roll in crispy seaweed like you would buy at the store, not soft, and it was a roll! A tiny roll! Like the size of your finger and thumb together. It was SMALL! Which was a theme for the night.As our sushi rolls started arriving they too were small, super tiny. Yet the prices were full on Mikuni prices. And by small I mean between the size of a quarter and a half dollar. So small that one of my 11-13 year old girls could have polished one alone and still been hungry. My wife opted to not eat so the kids could get enough food. (and I didnt clue in until after cuz I too was ravenous...dont judge me!) None of the rolls looked like the pictures.The food was alright but the wait, the portion size, the price, the service, and the experience... It was terrible~ We will never go back.Look, 1.5 miles (5 min) up Sunrise is a place called Bonsai Sushi. Its amazing. The portions are the same price but like 3x the size. The food is delicious. The servers are friendly and take care of you. Go there. Skip this place.

Hibachi Buffet, Sushi & Grill
5623 Sunrise Blvd, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, United States
This place is a really basic buffet. I paid less than 40 dollars for both my husband and myself to enjoy the lunch buffet meal. Their food was very plain, and some things didnt really have a lot of flavor.I showed up to specifically get coconut/honey walnut shrimp, which ended up tasting AMAZING, as well as to see what they offered sushi wise. However, I only really got the ebi from the sushi bar. The one thing I really liked, was that their wasabi is actually really hot. Sometimes, I can not find one that fits the heat level I am looking for to dip my fish in. Hubby said they had practically most of the same rolls, he specifically liked the tempura roll and said it was crunchylike it should be. He also said the Mongolian chicken was one of his favorite things from the place. The hibachi grill was decent, but the chef/cook who made my noodles actually mixed mine with another persons meal. So, if you have allergies, I would not recommend eating from that specific area at all. Also, they have a full dessert section with lost of sweets and fruits. No soft serve ice cream machine, its just single cup servings of ice cream or sherbet.I ended up throwing EVERYTHING up after we left.. So I wasnt sure if it was the quality of the food or my pregnancy. However, I havent been back since, but I would like to..
Caravan - Uzbek Cuisine - Citrus Heights - Halal
7800 Sunrise Blvd #11, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, United States
What a great meeting with two dreamers ? Taro Arai, the Chief Dreamer Officer of MIKUNI Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar, and Farhod, the owner and Executive Chef of CARAVAN - a newly opened halal Uzbek Cuisine. It was fantastic to share experiences from both cultures and learn about the secret ingredients that make their food so delicious ? I always enjoy the sushi from Mikuni (the best sushi I have ever tasted) and the authentic Uzbek dishes like pilaf, shish kebab, manty, samosa, shurpa, lagman, and more!
