Banzai Japanese Restaurants

This place is amazing! Cute and tucked away offers very fresh food and excellent service and I mean EXCELLENT! Powel offered the best deal for the dish we wanted and was very pleasant and quick with the service! Definitely coming back again! Hands down best place in the pocket area. Highly recommended 👌

First Timer and was not disappointed! 12-31 stopped in after picking my neighbor up from the airport at 7pm. They were closing but made an exception for us. We shared THE CRUNCHY..Tasty Shared a Little Saki then the power went out! Lots of people were coming to pick-up TO GO ORDERS...not detoured by the Rain and Strong Winds!!!! Many Happy Customers!!!

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!

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 any restaurant to withstand the test of time that long. you know they must be doing something right. Located directly at the corner of 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 on my lunch break (which was on Friday 3/4/2022 at 12:15pm). I decided on ordering a "Mix Tempura Appetizer" which included deep fried shrimp and an assortment of vegetables. For my main entrée, I went with their non-raw Banzai Maki roll of their "Lion King". This popular roll included crab salad complete with avocado inside while baked hot (for 10 minutes) that consisted of salmon, 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, my sushi & appetizer was ready within 12 minutes; not bad considering it was their lunchtime rush + my roll had to be baked. After making the quite 10 minute drive back to my office, I was very wowed with how big the portions were. My tempura appetizer did not skimp on the items while my sushi was more than enough food to fill me up. Overall, the sushi was cooked very well while the rice was moist and everything held up together well. They do have very generous hours of operation being open 7 days a week from 11:30am to 9:00pm Sunday through Thursday and 11:30am to 10:00pm Fridays and Saturdays. They do have an ample indoor seating area but no seating outside. All in all, this is definitely one of the best options of sushi in this part of Sacramento; especially if you're looking to something in the suburbs and away from downtown. My rating for "Banzai Sushi", an above average four stars.
