HH is life here! . Spicy house Ramen - spicy? nah not really. I would say it is more mild and flavor wise than spicy in my opinion. - There is a half egg in the ramen! can i get a yasss! - Corn and spinach and beansprouts - talk about a generous portion of veggies in a hh bowl of ramen - Slices of pork chashu - hmmm sometimes 2 to 3 pcs depending on the chef mood. - Broth - light on the salt and not much msg is what i can taste. Is it rich in flavor? nah not really. Is it bad? no, but its medium and ok. I think they use a tonkutsu broth in it, or maybe even chicken broth. - The best news about this dish is it is only $5. So yea cant beat that. . . Iz roll - This is a sushi roll and it is my favorite from the whole hh menu sushi they offer. . Whats in it? Spicy tuna, tempura shrimp, with avocado on top and masago, with secret sauces. . i alter mines to no shrimp and put more spicy tuna in it. Overall this roll is scrumptious and presentation is colorful! Definitely a must get in my book. . . cold beer - sopporo is my to go to when it comes to draft - sometimes they offer kirin as well Beer is served cold in a much for $2.75 which is a plus plus... 3 please! . Overall this is my to go to spot for hh! Unbeatable price for a hefty meal. It does get busy and pack so yea get here early. HH starts at 2:30pm to 5:30pm. Service is always great here. They do tend to be overwhelmed during hh, but i get most things on a quick service. Thanks for reading and lets sip sip away!

Poor food. I ordered the Bento with edamame and tonkatsu. This dish also comes with a salad, miso soup, white rice and california rolls. The tonkatsu was almost paper thin and breaded to twice its thickness in an effort to hide this. The edamame was served hot, when it is traditional to serve it cool or cold. The biggest issue I have however is the fact that my california rolls were put in with the salad and served slathered in sesame dressing as well as having been prepared without cucumber. I most likely will not be eating here again.

Not my favorite. I ordered the iz roll land the double salmon roll. The rice tasted like it had been sitting in a fridge for a couple days. It was stale and not much flavor. My wife ordered the pork gyoza. They tasted like they had been recently removed from the freezer and pan fried. The vegetable tempura was also a disappointment. I dont plan on returning.

Cheap in price, quality and presentation. When you put my sushi in the middle of my salad so it gets dressing all over it, thats not right. When the pork Katsu is so thin that it might as well have been a potato chip, thats not right. When you ignore my 4yr old childs struggle with chopsticks and dont offer him a spoon, thats not right.

This is our new favorite spot. Staff is so polite and greets you right when you walk in which I love. The food is always great the wait time is not long at all maybe 10 - 15 mins if that. Bento Box is our thing and they have over 7 items to choose from. Pricing is reasonable. You will not regret it.

I love The Izakaya! We get the bento box with pork tonkatsu and shrimp tempura, its excellent. The pork is tender and the tempura has just the right amount of batter. The service is fast and efficient. Weve been here several times and have never been disappointed.

Low key spot that feels like a hidden gem. Ramen, bento boxes, and sushi rolls all equally delicious and amazing. Friendly and attentive service even when busy. Great happy hour specials like $5 bowls of ramen and rolls. Try it once, be hooked for life.

I have never finished an entire bowl of ramen. I am now looking at a completely empty bowl where there once was the most delicious creation of noodle, meat and veggies combined with a silky flavorful shoyu broth. Highly recommend folks.

The thing about this restaurant is they are consistently good. Atmosphere is so so but this is because I know what it was in the recent and distant past. Good stuff and definetly will come back again soon.

Food is really good and fresh tasting. Portion sizes were good for the price. Except for the soda, comes in a can for $1.79. No refills. But if they were closer to my house I would visit again.

Service was very slow, our sushi order didnt come until after we finished our meal. I noticed other customers received their sushi order be us but they came in after us. Very diisappointed.

Authentic Japanese cuisine, happy hours are a plus. But less than helpful staff and long wait times for food. But usually seated fairly quickly. Ramen noodles are a specialty.

Great staff and affordable good food. Gets crowded during happy hours. Only drawback is the noise when there are loud talkers because the ceiling just bounces sound around.

The food was good, difficult to dip any of the large tempura in the tiny sauce dish (only about 2 inch diameter), booth is dated, sat so low that the table was chest level.

Ok food but very inflexible. When we didnt like something, they were not able to us give something else or return it. So we had to buy another meal.

Sushi is just terrific. The ramen is amazing. I keep going back every week to enjoy their Special House Ramen. Great staff as well, very friendly.

Happy hour ramen is awesome for college student budgets! Never disappoints! Im not a fan of sashimi, but the Pepper Fin was just amazing to me.

Happy hour is a great deal - $5 rolls. No filler either, really good quality and friendly staff. Didnt care too much for the miso soup.

Ive only tried the ramen and Id say it tops the other hot ramen spots in Sacramento.
