Banzai Sushi

Excellent chicken teriyaki bento box and California roll.

We’ve been coming here for five years now. This is a nice little gem in Greenhaven that I discovered while living there. Even though we’re now in Natomas, we still come back because of the consistency of the food. We always order the same thing, too: Bento Box w/ Teriyaki Salmon and Sesame Chicken Mixed Tempura, Miso Soup & the Hawaiian Poke Roll. Along with Hot Sake. Everything just hits the spot. We always leave full and content. The Mixed Tempura is some of the best I’ve had (and I know the picture I took wasn’t). It’s always cooked perfectly and is crispy and delicious. Never once has it been soggy. Granted, tempura is not a to go item. It needs to be eaten NOW! I honestly haven’t tried many of their rolls simply because I prefer simplicity over rolls with tons of sauces. The Poke being our exception. I’ll say what knocks a star off is the inconsistent service. This place gets tons of DoorDash orders and they seem to prioritize them. We walk in and there’s literally 15 to go orders and drivers standing around. As a result, you only have like two waiters to greet and wait tables. So I’d recommend going at non-peak hours since the to go orders seem to slow down after 630. My other gripe is the cleanliness of the place. The floorboards near the walls are absolutely filthy. I try not to look, but it’s hard not to notice. I just hope their kitchen looks better. All in all, a really solid place for Japanese food!

This is my favorite spot for sushi. We always sit at the bar and just order direct from the chefs who are always friendly and super quick. The sushi plates are great. Give Pepperfin and salmon carpacio a try!

the food is good and plentiful but the atmosphere could use a major uptick...

I love the great food and service. However, when the owner has friends at the restaurant, it gets loud and frankly obnoxious. It's still a restaurant, and people need to have manners.

Love this place!

Decent food, tried the dinner for two for $55. It's a good price for the amount of food (appetizer+3items+dessert). I enjoyed the hot miso soup with the soft, smooth tofu also the mochi ice cream dessert. Good service. One minus is the restaurant itself doesn't seem to be very clean. The ground, corner of walls, and restroom are not clean.

Favorite spot in town! Friendly servers, EXCELLENT food. Highly recommend the seasoned edamame
