Hinoka Sushi

I visited Hinoka Sushi in Sacramento, CA on Friday, 1/31/25, around 6 PM. What truly caught my attention about this restaurant was the ambiance. The entire atmosphere was very inviting, welcoming, and gorgeous all around with the details of decorations. In terms of food, I was able to try the following:* Negihama Hand Roll (w/ scallions, spicy mayo) * Rainbow Roll (w/ avocado and crab salad, topped with salmon, tuna, hamachi, albacore, ebi, mango sauce, scallions, masago)* Phoenix Roll (w/ Unagi tempura, cream cheese, and spicy tuna topped with tuna, avocado, scallion, house sauce, masago) The quality of the fish was fresh and the flavor was on point for each roll. The presentation of the food exceeded expectations. I also tried a total of two Sake Jelly Shot flavors such as Peach and Mix Berry. They were both fantastically good. If I had to pick a favorite, the Mix Berry tasted significantly better. The service from the staff members was spectacular. Super amiable and attentive. Overall, I truly enjoyed visiting Hinoka Sushi. I highly recommend coming here for tasty sushi, wonderful drinks, and great customer service!

Food was great! The oyster shooters were delicious. We tried the hinoka roll. It too was delicious. It had hints of lemon. I just love love citruses in sushi rolls. I feel they compliment each other so well. Sashimi came out beautifully presented. 24 pieces for about about $3 a piece. Was it worth it? Hmm...Service was good.Only complaint is the tables are too close. We had customers trying to squeeze between the two tables and their butts swiping the top of our table. Not cute or cool. A bit rude actually. Will this stop us? Maybe sit at the walls where nobody has to walk by? Or the bar, I suppose.

I door dashed- college roll was just meh- 3/5 But the chicken teryaki bento box was DISGUSTING!!!!!!!! Chicken not seasoned smelled like chicken. Waste of money will not be ordering again!

We came in on a Sunday night. Place was packed. Restaurant has lots of tables, easy to move around to accommodate larger groups. We ordered volcano roll and Hinoka roll. Both were good. Family liked Hinoka roll better, but if you want some heat, get the Volcano roll. Everything was fresh. The bento boxes have option of California roll or tempura. We tried the chicken teriyaki and sesame chicken bento boxes both with tempura. Good portion sizes on both. Service was great. Will be back to try other dishes and sushi roll.

Well we came here more or less just to drink. We sat at the bar and I got a bottle of sake. The sushi chef was a friend of my friend and showed me his new sushi knife. I love knives if you didn't know. It was still in the box. It was very pretty and I loved the way it looked. I need one. hahah. After i checked it out he switched it with the old knife and started slicing sashimi. Beautiful. We got so fatty tuna and it was fabulous. The place has gotten really popular since they opened. Now at lunch time there are a lot of people that come in to eat. On the weekends sometimes there is a line by the door. I am glad they are doing well. Till the next time I stop by.

The vibes are a girls dream! Flowers dripping from the ceiling, complimented by colorful Japanese decor, and beautiful fun dishes to display your food! While the food, plates, and service were absolutely stellar I can't stop talking about their jelly shot options. Fruity and fun shots with a jelly like consistency were the best way to kick off this delicious and fresh meal. While the rolls were saucy and flavorful without trying to hide poor fish quality, all the rolls let the crispness and freshness off the fish shine through! It was a stellar experience and very instagrammable 10/10

Took the family to dinner last Saturday to celebrate birthdays for the youngest son and his wife. Yes, same day! My husband and I often come here for lunch; we know the food is good and the place is clean. The servers most special Karen are awesome. On this day, we met the owner/partner , Minh. Needless to say he made our event more memorable with his interactions with us and the rest of the patrons. We absolutely had so much fun based on the videos/pictures taken. My boys and their wives are highly convinced this place was rocking and I received credit from the group for choosing a great place to celebrate. Thank you to Minh and Joey for the great fun. Minh is so down-to-earth. At first I thought he was only working there. Thank you! I highly recommend Hinoka Sushi.

Hinoka Sushi is a nice spot with such beautiful decor, especially the ceiling draped in flowers, which adds a lovely, vibrant touch to the decor and photos. There's plenty of seating, so even during busier times, it doesn't feel cramped, and the service is top-notch. The staff is efficient and attentive, so friendly! We started with a hand roll and tasted additional three sushi roll options, (each roll ranging from $18-$20) but the real standout was the "Dancing Mushrooms." This dish was stuffed mushrooms with crab and cream cheese, sooooo incredible! The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and each bite was per. I'm already planning to come back to try more of their rolls and explore other menu options. Highly recommend Hinoka Sushi!

Came here for lunch on a weekend with my family. We decided to order a bit of everything to share. The fish here was really fresh, and the service was amazing. However, I think this place would be super cute with more minimal decorations and the handrolls were very oily & the fish was finely minced. Aside from this, my favorite dishes were the truffle hamachi, nigiri/sashimi platter, and the Hinoka roll!

So pretty inside the restaurant. Food was excellent. I was the only one dining in at the time, but service was kind and quick. Presentation was excellent. I am eager to come back. They also have omakase on Fridays and Saturdays (I may be wrong). I would love to come back for that. Really worth the try.
