"The best spicy edamame around! It's one of my favorite places to eat and drink in Modesto. The service is excellent and the ambience is perfect. It's always busy, but I don't mind waiting."

"PHENOMENAL BEST IN TOWN ! This is coming from two sushi LOVERS !!!!Excellent customer service ! Always checking in !They offered to let us try sauces and items just so we know what else to order next time!We came to celebrate a new job and found a new favorite restaurant not just a nee sushi place.Francisco the owner was super cool and talkative with us and the rest of the clientele Every roll was delicious but you HAVE to try the diablo edamame and the oishi roll! We tried the sauce for the lobster roll and will 100% be getting the lobster roll next time!!!They even have a rewards program for people who spend over $50 a meal and you can earn enough to get a beer after a few visits lol!"

"Came here on a Saturday night and the place was packed about an hour and a half before closing. The calamari and edamame were a great choice for starters. The sushi was also fresh and enjoyable."

Modesto Sukiyaki

★★★★☆ 4.4 (454) • $$

"We were craving sushi and ramen and this place really hit the stop. Sushi places within Central Valley can be really hit and miss; however, this place was phenomenal.The broth, chashu, and noodles were delicious in the tonkatsu ramen. We tried the dynamite and King Kong rolls, and both were tasty!We tried the sushi nachos which were much like a poke bowl but the base was fried won tons. Extremely flavorful.The order of tempura came with FOUR tempura shrimps! We were so taken away because most places give one or two.The service was quick and helpful. We were surprised how empty it was during lunch and with how good the food was. Overall, we'll definitely be hitting this place up again and is worth the 25 minute drive from Manteca."

Poke Bowl - McHenry

★★★★☆ 4.2 (376) • $$

"We decided to come all the way to Modesto to give this place a try. The size of the poke bowlIs what made me give this place 4 stars. But overall I would have rated this location a solid 3 stars. For the price point of a large poke bowl ($15.50) it comes with your choice of bottom but we decided to choose sushi rice with 5 scoops of protein. We ordered 3 large poke bowls with a drink. The fish was fresh and they had multiple protein options. The crab is a topping instead of a protein and you can get an extra scoop for an extra $1.00. My main complaint on this location is that I really wish they would mix your raw proteins in a bowl with your sauces. I really didn't like that some of my fish had no flavor from the sauce. We've been to numerous poke locations that have a bowl to mix your proteins with your mix ins like onion, and cumbers with sauce then they poor it over your bowl. Since it isn't done that way it was a bit bland when just getting the plain fish. It has room for improvement. The location seems a bit older. You can tell this location needs a good cleaning from the inside and outside windows as well. A good face lift would give this location more of a curve appeal."

Kimono Sushi

"Ordered online and it was ready by the time I got there. Efficiency: Check. They got my order right, I had asked for cucumber substitute as I can't eat avocado. I ordered a tuna and salmon maki. Hamachi maki. Spicy tuna. Rainbow roll. Spicy poke. Ranging Fire. And Cool Runnings. Everything was well made. Nothing fell apart during transport. One of the roll, the slices was a bit inconsistent but not a big deal as you still get the entire roll. I liked that they don't use too much rice. A lot of places just stuff their rolls with rice, that is why they look so big. Could they use a bit more fish? Yes, but guessing the price would then be higher. Taste wise, it wasn't bad. The Spicy rolls were Spicy but not overly powering. Fishes didn't taste "fishy" which is a good thing. No fishy aftertaste. Price wise: Pretty on par with the other sushi places around there. As were the portion sizes.I've ordered here a handful of times over the years and they have been somewhat consistent, for the most part in terms of their food quality. I've only had 1 bad experience there but it was only one of their rolls. The fish was not looking fresh, so I didn't eat it. Ambience: Hard to say. I've always tried to order to go during non busy times. I've never been there when there are a lot of people. So, if you go during non peak hours, it's nice and quiet, minus the tvs that are playing. And I think it is a bit too dark."

"Friday night sushi with the fam. We were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and attentive. I had a cold Sapporo in a frosted glass. For appetizers I tried the mixed tempura. The veggies were crispy and tasty. I tried the Chowchilla roll. It has scallops, tuna, crab and cream cheese; yum! My daughter had the Lemon Tem which she enjoyed. All food tasted great and was served quickly. The restaurant is clean but a bit dated. The location is not ideal (limited parking being next to a gym and other restaurants). However the food is pretty good and fairly priced for sushi. Check it out !"

"So for my nieces birthday we went here to celebrate, large group of about 24 people. It was a Friday night, but they let us make a reservation and sat everyone down quickly as they came in. With the amount of people in our group the service was on point! Quick to bring out the food, drinks, refills, anything we needed. The food was amazing, I had the teriyaki chicken bento box, so I got a little bit of everything, perfect amount of food and reasonably priced. Others had sushi rolls, the volcano roll was the favorite. Some had prawns, edamame, a little bit of everything. No one complained about their food, including the kids. Place has nice decor, full bar, and clean. Will definitely be back, and highly recommend. My 9 yr old niece told me "you need to give them a good review." And I sure am lol"

"This place gets busy. The staff are friendly. The food is okay. We had the dragon roll which was good and the spicy tuna roll this one was plain no toppings. I have never had a spicy tuna roll like that. We also ordered the udon noodles which was so hot you couldn't eat it. We packed it and it was still hot 30 minutes later. Overall it was an okay place."

Loco Poke

"A great healthy choice in the area if you like raw seafood. My bowl consisted of ahi tuna, salmon, and octopus. The tuna and salmon were good although the octopus was more chewy and seemed a little dated than what I'm used to. There's a lot of dining space so I decided to eat in. The staff is really nice. I'd come back."

Zoku

★★★★☆ 4.2 (180) • $$

"I've been wanting to check out Zoku for quite some time. We decided it was a FriYay day at work- so let's go out for dinner! We came in right at opening, before the rush that came in near the end of our meal!The menu has a ton of options, and since I practiced restraint, I'll have to go back for a few other items that caught my eye. This time around, we got the assorted sashimi appetizer with tuna, salmon and hamachi. For being quite a newbie to the raw fish world, and very texture picky, I enjoyed the freshness of each type and would order it again. We also ordered the grilled edamame- which that addition of the char flavor made this something I would choose to order each time. The agedashi tofu was also quite tasty, but due to the textural aspect, I would have preferred a firm tofu. This is traditionally made with soft to medium-firm, so just something to keep in mind texturally! (I'd order it again though... I'd just have to prepare myself that it more melts in your mouth.)Lastly, there were 3 rolls I was bouncing between and settled on the Chili Spider Salmon roll with soft shell crab. I liked it, but I don't know that it would be the particular dish that would bring me in time and time again. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other options that caught my eye.Service was great- prompt, friendly and efficient. I like how they have the sushi bar seating and it was clean and uncluttered, unlike so many other places in the area appear to be. It was an inviting space."

"Buffet Man Sez: I debated doing a review because I want to keep this place a secret. Old school Japanese restaurant like those I grew up with in Hawaii. Like a memory frozen in time. The sukiyaki is the best in the valley! Sesame chicken is super crispy and light! Vegetable tempura sushi is brok da mout brah!!! Fave pick for me!!!"

"Daughter wanted sushi for her birthday dinner so I brought her here. We were in the Modesto area and this seemed to have the best reviews. It was a nice comfortable place and all the workers seemed nice. I will say when we first got there it took awhile for someone to come take our order. Not sure if they were just understaffed or what. But once we were able to order the food didn't take too long to come out. I will say that all the food and sushi we had were very good and satisfying! The waitress even brought my daughter a nice dessert for her birthday! If I ever want good sushi that is a decent price I know where to go now! I would also like to go back to try their Hibachi menu."

"I've been here twice now and both times were fantastic!The first time was for dinner and my friend and I ordered a bunch of sushi and the crab Rangoon. The presentation for the sushi was crazy! So not expected. Our server was Jessica and she was on point! The next time was for lunchtime. My husband and I ordered the hibachi and a couple rolls. We had Josh for our server and he was excellent. We never had to ask for refills on our beverages. He kept them coming. The food was great both times and I love the atmosphere. It will be great when they get their liquor license for those who love to partake in alcohol. We will be back for sure."

"Their Paloma is delicious. I had two of them and I had a nice buzz going. I don't care for their sushi but it's original, I'll give them that. Since I didn't care for their sushi, I ordered a torta and that was a lot better. They have a lot of other food and since I enjoyed their drinks I wouldn't mind going back but I'll try the rest of their seafood. It was a rainy night and parking was tight but they do have seating outside so maybe I'll go out there again on a summer night. There was a young server which must have been a family member because he wasn't really doing much except for being on his phone but there was another lady who was pleasant and assisted as much as she could. Neat place but not 5-star worthy. Maybe next time."

"I started vacation early As I picked up my online order, I sat and ordered a drink The young man who made this astonishing oyster shot for me, was one of the cooks. Cross strained. He got up from his meal to prepare my oyster shooter. I actually begged him to finish his meal first but exactly as I would have done, he left his meal to wait on me. I appreciated beyond words it as someone with over 20 years in the industry. Cheers to vacation Light the fires and kick the tires I'm comin' home I haven't been into this location in months. But consider myself a regular as I use to go once a week. I love the staff and the owner is a friend. The place has improved since I last visited and that says so much, this is a beautiful establishment. Bravo"

"Yes! This was one of the tastiest bento meals I've had! I loved the Saba Shioyaki. It had tons of flavor and was perfect with the white rice. Also, the tempura shrimp and vegetables were great. Everything was really quite perfect, including the Thai Iced Tea and miso soup. The service was also quite good. The server was attentive and friendly and there was a good vibe from the staff. Glad I tried this restaurant!"
