I had high hopes for this place after seeing reviews. When seated I noticed how pretty the inside was decorated and I decided right then that this will be our new sushi spot. I ordered the caterpillar roll. Since the menu only stated "sauce" I asked the waitress if "the listed sauce was the brown unagi sauce" (being a person that cant stand the taste of mayo I always know to ask about any sauce) she told me it was so I was set, no gross white sauce. When the food arrived I was very disappointed to see that my roll was smothered in white. I hesitated to say anything. I really do not like being that difficult customer. But I was starving and knew I couldnt eat it. I mentioned to the waitress that I had asked about the sauce and she said it was unagi but this was not unagi. She then pointed out that the menu says sauce and that it comes with both. She was nice enough and picked up the plate to remake it but the boss interviened and said that they dont remake and then put us both on the spot and asked "wells whos fault was it" I definately did not want to get the waitress in trouble so i really didnt know how to respond but she was already picking up the menu and pointing to it letting me know it states sauce. So obviously I should know it came with both. She was very hesitant to remake it. I didnt press it but I told her Id pay but i cant eat that. She seemed irritated that i simply didnt like it and it wasnt because of an allergy or a "real reason". Finally she reluctantly had them remake it. When it arrived I noticed I did not get the roll I ordered but a different similar roll. Whatever I guess. We werent really checked on from the original waitress after that and the whole experience felt awkward. We took it all to go after a few minutes of trying to eat. My boyfriend said the sauce did taste just like miracle whip. All and all the service was awkward and not a nice experience at all. We will not be back. Cant say much about the food since I didnt eat it. The sushi chefs seemed super nice though.

This place closes at 2:30 P.M to prepare for dinner service, which starts at 4:30 P.M. My girlfriend and I went in yesterday at around 2:00 P.M and were given a rude greeting, with the manageress coming to our table and saying "We close at 2:30, so next time get here earlier." Thats already a bad start. She hands us our menus and leaves. One minute later she comes back, no water or anything, and asks if were ready to order. We were not, so we said no. She then impatiently and sarcastically responds "Take your time, take your time!" Her vile attitude put us off so much that we got up and left then and there. I dont think we came in at a particularly bad time; 30 minutes is ample for the kitchen to make us our food before closing. The manageress had no conceivable reason to treat us like that. Its a shame really because I used to enjoy going to this restaurant frequently, and now Ill never set foot in there again. The manageress should learn a thing or two about customer care before attempting to run a restaurant.

The food was decent but they were training a new server and when she messed up our order and our dinner was served poorly management did not take care of correcting our bill to reflect that mistake. Our miso soup was server along side our meal very hard to enjoy that way since the dinner plates are quite large. Also do not order their tea it was horrible my sons was so over steeped as to be undrinkable. Would I return noooooo. We love sushi but though the food was good it was impossible to enjoy when treated that way.

This is without a doubt the absolute BEST sushi place in the greater Sacramento/Sierra foothills area. The service is fantastic, the amotsphere is great, and the food is out of this world. When we want great food this is where we go, no question. This is a great place for special occasion meals as well. My wife and I have been for our anniversary, and for birthdays. We love it and will return again and again.

Absolutely one of the most incredible experiences Ive ever had eating sushi. Bruce, the man who makes the sushi, recommended the Red Dragon roll and the OMG roll. Both were phenomenal. Bruce was not only an excellent chef, but his manners and witty humor were beyond compare. I live around the Arden-Arcade area of Sacramento and I will definitely be finding the time to return here soon.

I would have given 3 1/2 stars if I could. Their sushi has gotten better the longer theyve been around. But its still not as good as a high end sushi restaurant. That being said, it still taste pretty good. Restaurant is a kind of small, service was decent. For the price and the location I guess I cant really complain. Still worth eating at on occasion.

Best sushi in town! Great service, wonderful vegetable roll. Good hours, we went on a weekend evening and there was no one there, they have little tables outside. Great decor, interesting place. Nice servers and chefs. Willing to make special orders for vegetarians. Pretty inexpensive for sushi, cant wait to go again!

This place is great! They have amazing sushi, not over sauced like so many other sushi joints (Mikunis). They have just enough sauce to compliment the sushi itself. The ammount of food you get is HUGE for the price (rolls are somewhere between 8 and 14 dollars). Great Sake selection as well. Two thumbs up!

Having lived in Japan for many years I can tell you this is an authentic Japanese experience. I visited on a very crowded night and witnessed the staff squeezing the best out of a very small kitchen. I had some nigiri and a bento box with tempura and teriyaki chicken. It was all very good. Ill be back

Service was good, very intimate setting! Not a lot of room. Cute little place though. Food..... fish was NOT fishy! A bit over priced, not as fresh as you would hope but not bad either. Being an Ahi snob, not a lot of flavor. Would go back but not a favorite.

This is by far one of my all time favorite sushi restaurants. Its a cutely decorated hole in the wall with fresh fish and competitive prices. I love that they dont over sauce their rolls, they have a little something for everyone.

Great food for a good price. Only issue Ive ever had was they mixed up some orders. Of course they fixed it right away when prompted. Very friendly, and I highly recommend the restaurant.

Great sushi! Consistently fresh tasting with fabulous flavors. My absolute favorite is the old auburn roll, though I do have to say the new auburn roll comes in as a close second!

Hanami has seriously dropped off in their quality. Small pieces, clearly not as fresh as it used to be with cramped seating and a hectic, uncomfortable pace by help.

Always enjoy the experience here. Great agedashi tofu, wonderful rolls, and the family who runs it are really dedicated to a good customer experience

Sub par sushi and a little over priced. Also give your tip directly to your serve otherwise Ive been told they may never see it.
