About
Mikuni’s restaurant in the historic East End Lofts building in midtown Sacramento is alive with the flavors of New York and San Francisco. Utterly cosmopolitan, it boasts a vibrancy and energy that generate an irresistible draw. Art is everywhere in this ultra-cool restaurant—from the amazing intricacy of exquisite sushi rolls to the extraordinary beauty of female Japanese warriors whose likenesses adorn the walls. It is truly a place to see and be seen—amidst the bright lights, bold colors, and the undeniable hum of excitement in the air. And with its three sushi bars, drinks bar replete with exotic concoctions, and many large, flat-screen televisions, you may never feel the need to leave.

We sat at the sushi bar and ordered only sushi and sashimi for dinner. The food was very good and the staff was very friendly and attentive. They also have a special gluten free menu and have gluten free soy sauce and ponzu sauce. Good dinner experience!

There's something special about sushi with fun names. Enjoy the menu, but also ask your server for recommendations. The menu is so vast that you will never finish reading it in your lifetime. So guidance is helpful! After you've been a few times, you'll be tempted to re-order the same thing. Resist this temptation. It's all pretty darn good, so take chances. It's also good to share at least one bite of each dish your party orders. You might find something you'll order next time. Oh, and there will be a next time. So just plan on that. Also: Plan to valet park. There's plenty of local parking lots, but they're either full or a pain in the butt. Just valet and tip. You'll save money and hassles.

Place was packed as usual. We waited maybe 5 minutes. Grabbed a couple seats at the end of the sushi bar. Ordered a couple beers and hot sake. We love the Albacore Pepperfin with thinly sliced jalapenos. We ordered 2 of those plus miso soup. P Diddy roll and we were satisfied. Mikuni is a sure bet. Great service too. Thanks.

A little disappointed today. Downtown sac sushi bar had several staff trying hard to produce sushi. All of them appear to be lacking experience and training. Pleasant people, just not aware of any of the Japanese culture norms of sushi production or presentation. In conversation the staff is unaware of any other Japanese food other than menu items. I did bring a visitor from Japan who was honestly shocked at now non-Japanese the American sushi was, and surprised that the sushi rolls were so popular. In Japan rolls are for children. The wasabi was not so good, the chilli dabs on top of the fish is a no-no. The selection of fish was limited to just a few types. The presentation of the fish in the counter display cooler was severely lacking. Oh well for authenticity, but the place is a packed house. It looks like Mikuni is ok for Sacramento taste buds.

The sushi I had was very tasty. Order two plates if you’re hungry since portions are small. I had also potstickers and the chocolate mousse desert, yummy. The atmosphere was cool, the staff is very friendly. Definitely would go back!

First Japanese experience and I never thought it was so spectacular. I thought I wasn't hungry easily instead with just 2 courses of sushi roll I was full but not weighed down. Price $ 35 with tip. I really recommend everyone to try it.

Always a must when in Sacramento. The sushi is great, make sure to get the BBQ White Tuna appetizer, its the best thing on the menu! The drinks are always great and the service is very attentive. Don't forget to ask to spin the wheel on your birthday!!

Kaylee was a great server! We arrived in time for happy hour - great pricing and selection. Mikey handroll, Iron Chef roll, edamame, Puff Daddy, and miso soup. All were wonderful, so glad we stopped in!

I've eaten several times at Mikuni's at the Market Square side of Arden Fair. Always excellent sushi and nice ambiance. Was only 15 mins from my house too. And full bar!

Eh ok sushi. Rolls are probably better than getting sashimi or nigiri, but since that is what I eat I’ll say some stuff was tasty and fresh, others not so much.

Decent sushi. The menu was quite large which was nice but also slightly overwhelming. Great Japanese Whisky selection!

Great spot off J and 16th Street! Supposedly the best Sushi is Sacramento. We had an excellent experience and would return. Packed house on the weekends.
