Came here with my friend for dinner after driving by so many times. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful on the inside, lots of seating at the bar where the chefs prepare the food and there’s tvs to watch sports (which we did for football Monday), booths, and tables too. It is a great spot for a date night or dinner with friends. The staff were super nice and friendly, the chefs were so great when it came to giving us recommendations and checking on how we were doing. We shared spicy edamame which has a decent level of spice from the chili powder they put. I ordered the Hinoka roll (recommended to me) and it was delicious! The food same quickly and was so good, will definitely be back to try more!

Came for naoki grand opening 11/29/25. So busy but the staff did their best to accommodate. Food was delicious. Rolls were fresh! Tempora was the best I had in town! Heard they hired an expert in tempora fried goodies! They gave trial tasting for their sashimi tuna fish-super fresh, superb! The uni pass was off the chart! Will come back when they’re not so busy.

Stopped by after a friend who lived in the area put their soft opening on my radar. Im a huge sushi girl and wow this place did not disappoint. Ambience is great, service all around and the quality+presentation were top notch! I couldn’t even choose a favorite dish as they were all equally delicious. I sat at the bar with my partner and the chef was very social and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

Naoki Japanese Cuisine truly stands out! The food presentation is absolutely stunning — every dish looks like a work of art. The sashimi is incredibly fresh, melt-in-your-mouth quality that shows the chef’s precision and care. The nigiri selections are top-notch, especially the wagyu beef, which was perfectly tender and flavorful. Beyond the food, the customer service was warm and attentive — the owners, Chef Joey and Chef Tri made us feel welcome from start to finish. Overall, Naoki delivers a perfect balance of quality, artistry, and hospitality. Definitely one of the best Japanese dining experiences in Sacramento! 🍣👏 Suggested dishes: Naoki dragon, Miso Black Cod

Saw a soft opening sign and decided to give it a try. I had the New York nigiri and the Triple Trouble roll. The fish was super fresh and flavorful, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and the rolls were well balanced. A few items weren’t available yet since it’s still the soft opening, but everything I tried was excellent. Portion size was generous and presentation was beautiful. Staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to! A few item is not ready yet because they soft opening Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!
