Reviews for Banzai Sushi in Sacramento, CA
Ordered tray A and E and extra edamame for husband's 83rd birthday today 23rd .. all exceptional.
Great little sushi restaurant in the Greenhaven/Pocket area. You don’t have to go downtown or into midtown to get great sushi.... Banzai Sushi is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Sacramento! This hidden gem has a great selection of sushi rolls,entrees, and soups. The portion sizes are very generous too! Read more
Since the sushi restaurants are quite limited in the Greenhaven-Pocket neighborhood of Sacramento, "Banzai Sushi" is definitely... an above average place that has been consistently good based on the hundreds of reviews dating back to 2006. And for anyrestaurant to withstand the test of time that long. you know they must be doing something right. Located directly at the cornerof Florin Rd. and Riverside Blvd., this place is tucked in a fairly busy shopping center that includes a Grocery Outlet, Baskin'Robbins, and a Shell gas station. Parking though wasn't much of an issue as I was able to park close enough to pick up food onmy lunch break (which was on Friday 3/4/2022 at 12:15pm). I decided on ordering a "Mix Tempura Appetizer" which included deepfried shrimp and an assortment of vegetables. For my main entrée, I went with their non-raw Banzai Maki roll of their "LionKing". This popular roll included crab salad complete with avocado inside while baked hot (for 10 minutes) that consisted ofsalmon, green onions, and special sauce. In general, this place has a very extensive selection of sushi rolls (raw & cooked).And everything else including Donburi, Bento Boxes, Ramen, Udon, Noodles, and several party trays. After placing my order, mysushi & appetizer was ready within 12 minutes; not bad considering it was their lunchtime rush + my roll had to be baked. Aftermaking the quite 10 minute drive back to my office, I was very wowed with how big the portions were. My tempura appetizer didnot skimp on the items while my sushi was more than enough food to fill me up. Overall, the sushi was cooked very well while therice was moist and everything held up together well. They do have very generous hours of operation being open 7 days a weekfrom 11:30am to 9:00pm Sunday through Thursday and 11:30am to 10:00pm Fridays and Saturdays. They do have an ample indoorseating area but no seating outside. All in all, this is definitely one of the best options of sushi in thi Read more
Hawaiian Poke roll and Teriyaki chicken bento with mixed tempura. The roll is one of my favorites, fresh and flavorful. The... tempura was amazing, crunchy and freshly fried, you can tell it was made to order. The chicken was perfectly cooked. Ourwaitress was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be coming back. Read more
Came here for mother's day and ordered a lot of different food to try. The Hamachi was great and fresh, the rolls a little... inconsistent and service was lacking. Waited extra long for food. Read more
Our first visit was my son's 13th birthday. This is a cute little place that stays busy. I'd been eyeing it for some time... now. Overall the food was good. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. The teriyaki dishes initially all came out cold but themanager quickly remade each dish and we enjoyed them as well. Our server was attentive and more than accommodating. She trulymade our first experience memorable. My only critique is that it was freezing in the place. I will return. Read more
Food was good! Loved both salads! The waitress though, she needs an improvement on her attitude, like ASAP! We tried to be... understanding maybe it's because she was the only one working but, we, besides another table at the moment were the only onesthere. She had a nasty attitude/tone from the beginning, we even gave her the benefit of the doubt maybe it's just how she is,whatever the case may be, please be nice to your customers! We are just there to enjoy your food and pay with our hard earnedmoney, we really don't appreciate being treated that way. Oh and the water tasted like tap water and hot tea was roomtemperature. I'm optimistic so I'm willing to give them another try! ???? Read more
