Ikura Japanese Cuisine

We came in for dinner on a Saturday night and were greeted immediately upon entering the door. The space is quite open with a hexagonal raised "bar" ish section in the middle. Sushi bar is along one wall and tables complete the rest of the dining space. Cool contemporary vibe was nice, but really a lot of echoey chatter since the space is so open with tile flooring. Our server Brittany was awesome! Super friendly and attentive throughout. We ordered the dinner bentos and really impressed with the quality of the items served up. Teriyaki steak and the chicken were both perfectly prepared. The bentos include miso soup and a good sized salad to start. In the box are your protein, tempura, gyoza, and 4 Cali rolls, plus rice. It was a good amount of food overall. And, everything was great!We will definitely be coming back when we get that hankering for bento!

We recently ordered from Ikura Japanese Cuisine. It was generally a good experience. Our meal included Sea Salt Edamame, the Ahi Tower, a Shrimp Tempura Roll and Yellowtail Sashimi. The Sashimi was amazing - fresh, flavorful and tender with generous cuts of fish. The Shrimp Roll was also very good - Shrimp tempura, avocado, and cucumber inside coated with a pleasingly complementary sauce on top. The Edamame was just fine.Our least favorite was the Ahi Tower. The description sounded tempting - Spicy tuna, crab salad, avocado, and sushi rice, topped with sprouts and black tobiko, served with spicy mayo and eel sauce. But the were no distinctive flavors - just a bend of goop. Very disappointing. Prices were competitive.

Finally got the chance to order to go from this restaurant. I ordered their lunch specials: sashimi and nigiri combo, chicken teppan, and roll combo.Their sushi combo was very good! The sashimi is fresh and melted in my mouth. It says it has tuna but I am sure that they used chutoro or belly for their tuna roll and sashimi. $20Chicken teppan: was on the dry side. They sue chicken breast. $143 sushi roll combo : it's a very good price for 3 basic rolls. $16Overall is a good sushi place while they have very good lunch prices and quality. Definitely will come back to try more!

In search of sushi late Saturday night, we turned to Yelp to find a spot close to where we were that had decent reviews. When it comes to raw fish, I'm pretty picky lolIt was after 9:30pm and we saw that Ikura was new and open until 10:30pm! We love supporting new small local businesses, so we were excited that they were open. We were the only people there at around 9:45pm on Saturday. The dining room is beautiful..I was blown away by the aesthetic & it was clean. The restaurant staff were friendly, and our hot tea was constantly refilled. Friendly serviceWe decided on the Sashimi Deluxe to start...AMAZING!!!! Every piece of fish was plated separately, which we enjoyed the different touches to each plate, and the fish was so FRESH! I honestly can't wait to order this again, hopefully this is how it is always prepared and served. Felt like omakase without breaking the bank!We ordered two rolls, the King Crunch Roll which was very good, and the Yama Roll which was incredible! We both agree that Yama Roll was easily one of our favorite rolls anywhere. 100% would order that again.All in all, we both loved our experience at Ikura, and can't wait to return.

Only 3 stars? I'm not being a jerk, really. Sunday mid day meal. Greeted happily. Met 4 different employees and an owner. All friendly and helpful.Previous review and photos by other Yelpers had me primed for a top notch delicious meal. So Barbara gets the lobster roll. I get the salmon teriyaki salmon bento box combo meal.And the food is just okay at best. Visually the lobster roll is impressive. Taste wise the lobster chunks are just covered with too much sauce.My bento box had 5 offerings. None of them were very good. The gyoza tasted like it came from a bag of Bibigo and was cooked yesterday, dried out and gummy. Even the sticky rice somehow had 2 big blobs of gluey rice flour in it (Dribble over from the tempura?). Speaking of tempura the shrimp was okay, a little crispy. The broccoli and onion ring were undercooked and pasty, with an unappetizing mouth feel. The extra slender salmon was not sushi grade line caught fish. Tasted like frozen filet of farmed Atlantic salmon.The dining room is spacious and airy. Caveat: Over the past couple of months I've eaten some really good Japanese food in several Sacramento restaurants. Ikura here in Rocklin pales in comparison.No return for me.

Well, I was in the area for a business meeting and was craving some sushi. I hopped on yelp and looked for one nearby in Rocklin and wow!! This place has only been open for a month and did they knock it out of the park. The Service was fantastic, fish was very fresh, and I loved everything I tried. I had Sunomono, 6 Oysters, UNI nigiri, Saba, Hamachi nigiri, scallop nigiri and finished with a soft shell crab hand roll for desert! It was the best sushi experience I have had in a long time. I live in the Central Valley outside Modesto. We have some decent places to eat Sushi, but if you live in the Rocklin area Ikura is the place to go for a wonderful sushi experience.

Amazing spot to find! Cool vibe, good music. Best sushi I've tried throughout Rocklin and Roseville. Only other place in Sac that would compare would be KRU. Really fresh inputs, presentation was outstanding, everything tasted great. Service was faster than anywhere else by far although it was a Sunday afternoon. We had the dragon roll, spider roll and the jalapeño hamachi app + miso soup. To top it all off we had the Dezato roll and my god... I will dream of that dang thing until I return

We had a fantastic experience at Ikura! Their lunch special is such an amazing deal - three rolls, soup and salad for $16?! Sure, it's not all their specialty rolls that are available but there's enough variety to be well worth the price. Everything was presented beautifully, the service was attentive and even though the wait for our sushi was a little long, it was well worth it. The fish was fresh and everything tasted amazing! We will definitely be back!

It is worth to price. We ordered 2 rolls, one salad, regular sashimi, half dozen oysters, $95. Recommend oyster, the best oyster in Rocklin.

This restaurant just opened this week, It is a solid sushi spot and will definitely be one of my top choices.We had the Sashimi Deluxe which was salmon, stripped sea bass, hamachi and otoro, fish was excellent, very fresh, generous portions, and tender. Plus they serve it with pickled wasabi which is a bonus in my book.The baked green mussels were on point, the sauce had a nice kick and the mussels were hearty.The Scorpion Roll, deep fried soft shell crab, tempura shrimp with steamed shrimp on top was decadent. Enough sauce to compliment it but not to overpower it.
