Chef Frank Japanese Cuisine

Chef Frank Japanese Cuisine is a good sushi place that we often go for sushi. The sashimi is fresh, and the quality of the nigiri and rolls is top-notch. You can really taste the care and skill that go into each plate. Their omakase is tasty and reasonable price 😃 Customer service is friendly, sometimes not attentive 😅 Suggested dishes: Hamachi kama, sashimi, bento box with teriyaki salmon and beef, red bean panna cotta, matcha panna cotta

My partner and I moved to Natomas about a year and a half ago; Chef Frank is our favorite sushi restaurant! We have had miso soup, chu-toro, California roll, spicy tuna roll, rainbow roll, sunset roll, and super star roll. All have been fresh and wonderful. Cool fact- they use real crab in their California roll, unlike most places that use imitation crab (good to know for those with allergies like me) Service has always been great. Sometimes you’ll see Chef Frank behind the counter putting together a dish or refilling your water while asking how everything is tasting. We prefer to sit at the bar (when they’re not doing omakase) and watch the chefs do their magic. I always recommend this place to others!

Can’t Believe I Just Found This Place! I seriously can’t believe I’m only trying this spot now—I literally live right around the corner! This Japanese restaurant is an absolute gem. The sushi is fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Every bite felt like a treat. The rest of the menu is just as good—high-quality ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors all around. The service was amazing—super friendly and attentive without being over the top. The atmosphere is cozy but modern, with a calm, welcoming vibe that made the whole dining experience even better. And the parking? Tons of it. No stress I already can’t wait to come back—and next time, I’m definitely trying their Omakase. If you’re in the area (or even if you’re not), do yourself a favor and check this place out. Total hidden gem!

Great spot for an elevated sushi experience! We sat at the bar and were able to watch the chefs work their magic behind the counter. We ordered the Hokkaido roll, the Sunset roll, Unagi, Wagyu, and yellowtail collar appetizer. Everything was delicious and beautiful prepared. We also had the sapporo on draft and a sake shot! 10/10 recommend.

This is our go-to sushi spot. I’ve been visiting this restaurant since they opened, and it’s been great watching them evolve. The quality of the food and service remains high. We’ve tried lots of things on the menu, so the newer seasonal offerings have been fun to explore. Still, we often come just for chirashi and hot tea and always leave happy. :)

This might be the best sushi near the grid. I’ve had their sushi in person and delivered and the quality is always top notch!! The delivery box is also a nice touch. You can tell they care about details.

Wonderful dinner at Chef Frank's, scallop crudo and yuzu hamachi were outstanding. Looking forward to our next dinner at the sushi bar!

Our first time here and WOW! We had the Del Paso roll, spicy garlic edamame, salmon lover, and the Land Park roll….ALL of it was delicious! The waitress helped us make a decision on sake and it was delicious. The atmosphere is nice but it got crowded…hopefully they expand to a larger space ❤️

Elite sushi spot in Sacramento alert!!! The food was spectacular. The jalapeño poppers were poppin. Super flavorful and not your run of the mill poppers you get at an American chain. The sashimi platter is what got me. You can tell it's high quality and well curated. It came with kizami which was a HUGE plus for me. I prefer it to the standard greet "wasabi." The roll we split was super flavorful. The hamachi collar was tender, juicy , and full of flavor. Sometimes these guys can be dry or too well done. They even have an affordable omakase menu! There is standard table service. The meal was well paced. Compared to other sushi spots, it was reasonably priced especially for the super high quality. If I had a "crew," I would probably go here first if you get what I mean. I would say this is like a standard run of the mill sushi joint. Nothing spectacular. It was clean and didn't feel run down. Definitely not the the "kru" vibe, but for a very tasty menu that's high quality and more affordable -- you have my vote. Highly recommend.

One of the nicer places to dine in Natomas. It's always full, make sure you have reservations if you want to do the Chef's Omakase tasting menu at the bar. You also have the option to order off the menu at the table and booth seating. Service is attentive and ambiance is nice for date night. Highly recommend the Natomas roll. Blue fin trio was excellent too. For reference, they use much higher quality of fish than Mikuni's. Limited vegetarian options. -Autumn Harmony soup was phenomenal, capture the essence of all things fall in one bowl - pumpkin and pomegranate. Beautiful presentation too. -Vegetable roll was okay We'll be back again soon! :)

I came on a Saturday night with reservation at the bar. First thing I want to mention is the amazing attentive service. The girls on the floor were great! I ordered the premium nigiri and I think money well spent. It was so worth it as it came with A5 wagyu and uni. That was pretty filling. I also ordered two rolls; Hokkaido roll and superstar roll. Honestly, the premium nigiri was more than enough for one person. The rolls didn't leave a good impression so next time I think I'll opt out on the rolls. The luxury oysters were a bit too salty probably because of the overwhelming ponzu sauce. **originally I wanted to try the Omakase but when I called to make a reservation, I was informed they no longer serve omakase.

Came here on a Friday night at 7:30pm, with some Yelp friends and we did the Omakase ($125 per person) and everything was just amazing. Make sure you make a reservation to ensure a spot. Such a great experience! All of the fish was so butter soft, just melt in your mouth good. Every dish looked like a piece of art. Flavors were all on point. I can't say one negative thing about the experience or the food. Service as well was great. A must try.

Times have changed, and it's tougher for me to enjoy the full set menu at the sushi counter because I have little daughter that joins us. These days I've been ordering a la carte at the dining tables - unsurprisingly easier on the wallet. The best part is nothing else has changed: Chef Frank's is still fresh, still delicious, and still my favorite spot in the area.

This use to be one of my favorite restaurants but lately it doesn't seem to have the same quality and customer service. Today I ordered a bento box and it came with out the ginger or wasabi that I love since I had the salmon sashimi. This was disappointing to me. I think I will go in person and talk to the owner.

I loved my first visit here, but was a bit underwhelmed the second time I stopped by. I came mid-week my first visit and fish tasted so fresh! When I came on a Sunday, for my second visit, some of the fish in the mystery box were fishy. (Not because they are "fishy" fish, but because that's what happens when fish gets on the older side.) I was also wanting to order their roll with chu-toro, but they had since taken that out of their roll and replaced it with a cheaper fish. Such a letdown! Service remained good. Overall, still a good sashimi place, but not as eager to come back in the future as I once was.

Last time I rated this place 5 stars was over 2 years ago! So proud to say I still feel this way! As soon as you enter restaurant, host greets you at the door and seats us immediately. Ambiance is always chill here and of course, I love it that they always provide gluten-free soy sauce for me. Tonight I had their Pinot noir that went well with the 12-piece sashimi mix, rainbow roll and salmon bento box. Fish always taste fresh and quality top notch. So glad to have a quality restaurant in my neighborhood!

My friends and I stopped in for lunch today and got to try a wide array of rolls! We got the super star, 2 sunsets, the hokkaido and dragon. We all enjoyed the rolls and thought the quality was very fresh. we also got the bbq albacore but didn't like that as much- it tasted frozen. Overall, our server was very attentive and we were in & out pretty quick.

This is our regular sushi place for many reasons. The fish is fresh and the service is always excellent... today we tried a couple of the seasonal items on the menu today... and it was amazing!!! Love the Christmas music playing and the great service!!!

Came here with some fellow yelpers as we have a love for good sushi. Let me tell ya'll, this place does not disappoint. We had the omakase sushi experience. Def worth it! It's only if Fridays and Saturdays and you have to make a reservation. You'll sit at the sushi bar where the chef will directly hand you your sushi. We enjoyed it so much! Def worth it. No caption of the photos as it was chef's special.

Hands down one of the best tasting sushi rolls I've had in years. The ingredients tasted so fresh. Beautiful restaurant and presentation of everything . I had the miso soup and the natomas roll. I will be honest the roll is extremely small especially for the price point but the delicious-ness and freshness made up for it. The miso soup not so much, very bland flavor, and I only had one tiny piece of seaweed inside of it which was disappointing but not a deterrent from this establishment. I would definitely patronize again and dine in next time as this time was just take out. I'm interested in trying more rolls and other dishes but I will pass on the miso soup next time. To go order was packaged very nicely and the hostess staff were very welcoming and kind.

Stopped in for a business lunch. Ordered some sashimi and a roll. Everything was really fresh. Pieces were big! Service was good. Place is small but was not busy by the time we got there Really enjoyed and would come back!

Chef Frank's has been on our list to try for a while now and it's definitely worth it. The 12 piece sashimi mix was of with sake (salmon), shiromaguro, akami, and hamachi. Very fresh and delicious. The Hokkaido roll was phenomenal, smoky, savory, a flavor bomb and the raw scallop melts on the tongue. We ordered a glass of Hakutsuru sake, light and dry rate that at 4 out of 5. Slightly chilled, and served in a wine glass. The service was extremely attentive and friendly.

I LOVE this restaurant, I go literally once a week. The fish is so fresh & taste absolutely amazing. The chefs and staff are always so pleasant. 10000000000/10 recommend!!!

I've dined in and ordered takeout from Chef Frank Japanese Cuisine and it's always a great experience. They have plenty of parking available and the ambiance inside is great for a date night, a business meal, or just a fun time with friends. When I order takeout it's always so thoughtfully packaged and the meal still looks beautifully presented even after bringing it back home to enjoy. The mystery box is a favorite, but I've been trying to order different items from the menu each time I visit. I've fallen in love with their hand rolls and fresh oysters as well. The staff is very attentive when you're dining in, and if you have the option you should sit at the sushi bar. It's always a great experience. I really love how consistent they are, how fresh the fish is and how they think about the full customer experience whether you're dining in or taking food home.

This was my third time here. It was for Fathers day. We had reservations and got seated right away. The place was packed. Service was great , plus I knew one of the waitresses. I got the oysters and they were perfect. Yummy. Next was the 24 piece sashimi. So fresh. I loved it. So good quality. Had to have a glass of sake to. So good. Always a great time here even on a busy holiday. The place is really clean and you see the Sushi chefs doing their thing at the bar area.

Chef Frank is amazing, the environment is wonderful, the waitresses are super attentive, Chef Frank himself is a such a pleasure. The quality of the food is great, the fish is super fresh and prices are reasonable. Went once and kept coming back. Will definitely still be coming back.

Our office ordered lunch here today and the sushi was amazing. For some odd reason 3/4 of the office ordered the Natomas roll. The roll had some of the freshest ingredients I have ever experienced in sushi. On the down side our rolls were piled into the same box so it would be great if there was a way to designate names and items for each person's order. Overall fantastic sushi.

Amazing service and the fish is very fresh, highly recommend definitely coming here again

This is one of my favorite places to go to. Always great service. Shout out to I think her name is Nikki. She always has a smile and is very helpful and kind. Everybody is nice. Place is always clean. No uncleared tables. Comments from recent visits. What I liked: (1) Chirashi, third in my chirashi series trying it from different places. The bowl had akami, albacore, o-toro, sake toro, and hamachi. Fish is fresh. The rice is not seasoned but is perfectly cooked. Just enough for the amount of fish. I also enjoyed the one I had last year. What I like about chirashi is you never know what you're getting and Chef Frank offers that. Chirashi from other places have same fish every visit. (2) Sashimi Mix. It had albacore, sake, madai (sea bream), and kinmedai (golden eye snapper). Fresh fish. Favorite was the salmon (as always) and sea bream. Same as chirashi you never know what you're getting. It's a surprise. This is my go to place for sashimi. What I didn't like: (1) Sunset Roll. I like soft shell crab and this has soft shell crab and spicy tuna inside topped with assorted fish. I liked it in the beginning but the last two piece had chewy fish on top. (2) Takeout/To go orders. Ordered for delivery Salmon Maki, Natomas Roll, and Lion King Roll. The salmon maki was falling apart. The rolls had mushy sushi rice. I feel in my experience quality of food not the same as dine in. Prefer to dine in. Thank you.

This place is hidden in plain sight. We've lived in the Natomas area for almost 10 years, and I'm unsure of when this place popped in the Raley's shopping center, but my husband, and two friends of ours discovered it upon a realtor recommendation. We had a gift card, so there was no good reason why we wouldn't try it. I can't tell if I'm sad that we just recently discovered this, or glad we hadn't because we'd certainly be burning through our wallets here every weekend we lived in Natomas. This is easily the best sushi I've had in CA, and I don't say that lightly. My friends and I will be back... with more friends. We need to share this experience with everyone and try the entire menu! I'm looking forward to our next reservation.

Came here after seeing the boing reviews and I was not disappointed in the lightest. I didn't expect sashimi quality to be this high and fresh in Sacramento after being used to the Bay Area, but the sashimi mix tasted like an absolute treat (and you could honestly tell even from the photo). Staff was friendly and welcoming the entire time, and food was also served quickly. I'll definitely visit again when I'm back in Sacramento.

Still one of the best spots for sushi in Sac. The $20 Bento Box dinner is a good deal. The best roll there is the Superstar Roll. I highly recommend this place. Service was excellent. Restaurant is nice and clean. I was able to watch the NBA game while eating sushi lol.

Overall a solid experience! Great spot for sushi lovers who want quality without breaking the bank. Would definitely come back! For regular dining, the prices were super reasonable -- everything we ordered felt worth it, especially considering the quality of the fish. We didn't go for the omakase set, but based on the pricing, it seemed a bit steep compared to the rest of the menu. Honestly, there's plenty to enjoy without it. The oysters were a standout -- so fresh and perfectly dressed with toppings that complemented them without overpowering. We ended up ordering a second round! If you're coming with a group, the mystery box is a fun and tasty option -- a nice way to share a good variety of raw fish. All the fish dishes we tried were fresh and well-prepared. Only minor miss for me was the Lion King roll -- it came with cream cheese, which isn't my favorite in sushi. Not what I was expecting, but the rest of the roll was fine. Also, a nice touch -- if it's your birthday, they give you a free dessert! Always love when places do that.

Food and service were amazing! This place is one of my favorite sushi places hands down! Best quality in Natomas!!!

We come in once in a while but order on DoorDash almost weekly, and of course dining in is always so much better. This time we started with the gyoza and the oyster tasting, both of which were absolutely delicious. For rolls we ordered the Super Star Roll, the Hokkaido Roll, and the Spicy Rainbow Roll, and every single one was a perfect 10 out of 10. The Sapporo on draft was ice cold and crisp, the perfect pairing for the meal! The chefs and staff are always so friendly and attentive, which makes dining here feel comfortable and welcoming every single time. When they first opened it was quieter, but now that word has spread the place gets busy, and for good reason. The restaurant is pretty small inside, so if you are coming on a busy night I recommend making a reservation to avoid a wait. Thank you chefs

Love it!!! If I could give Chef Frank 's more stars, I absolutely would! My daughter and I had the pleasure of experiencing their Omakase, a reservation only experience, available on select days (check their profile for details). From start to finish, it was nothing short of exquisite. The chef's kept everyone engaged, sharing insights about each dish while we indulged in beautifully crafted bites. Each bite just melted in your mouth and "wow"! The presentation was flawless, and the pace of the meal was perfectly timed and we did not feel rushed at all. A special shout out to Nikki, one of the hostess, who was who was on top of everything. She quickly cleared the plates while ensuring each guest was well taken care of. The chef's worked with such speed and precision, yet made everything look so effortless. Overall, whether you're booking an Omaka experience or simply stopping by for sushi, Chef Frank is a must try and my go to spot for everything sushi. And it's always an amazing experience when the Chef's are fun!

Birthday dinner 2025 at Chef Frank was fire! Reservations made in advance, table or booth seating. If you're doing omakase then you get to sit at the sushi bar of course. Located next to the taqueria and the empty Pizza Press spot, parking is competitive as it's shared with Five Guys, Saigon Alley, Dickey's BBQ, Wells Fargo. Nikki was our awesome server. To start we had the shrimp tempura and geso karaage. One person had the dinner bento box (tonkatsu and beef teriyaki), one had the beef udon, the other got a Crunch Roll and Land Park, and Hokkaido. The rolls were so good there were seconds ordered. I originally wanted the Large Sashimi Mix (chef's choice, 24 pieces, 6 different fish) but ultimately decided on the Mystery Box: 3 kinds of fish with dressing, 3 kinds of fish with sunomono, 3 kinds of fish with sushi rice. I forget exactly which fish I all got, but there was definitely salmon, scallop, unagi, tuna, fatty tuna...2 huge pieces of each kind of fish, and interesting flavors, top quality sashimi! For birthdays you choose a free dessert, and I got the azuma green tea cheesecake which came with a sparkler candle and birthday song over the speakers. My friends brought gifts and a small cake and we were also able to cut and serve that too, and group photos were also obliged. Super appreciate the great service and meal!

This restaurant is new in my neighborhood so we decided to sit at the bar and try it. The food was delicious! The roll I ate had salmon on top and it was buttery delicious. I believe it was the Lion roll. My husband also liked the Natomas roll and the hand roll he had. The service was great she was friendly and prompt to our requests. We will definitely be back again to try something new. If you haven't gone well get over there!!

This is my family's and friends' go to sushi place since they open. They have the best sushi and their quality of fish is fresh. Service was very fast and friendly. They have large and small seating. If you look for great quality sushi or even omakase, I highly recommend this place.

This is the best Japanese restaurant I've been to in Sacramento, offering authentic Japanese sushi. The food quality, taste, and service are exceptional. I truly enjoyed their Omotenashi (warm hospitality) ‼ Until I discovered this restaurant, I had never experienced the same level of satisfaction as I do in Japan. As a Japanese person, I never expected to find Uni (Sea urchin) of this quality here, but they import it directly from Japan! The seafood is incredibly fresh, and each dish is prepared with great care and precision. The thoughtful service made the experience even more special. :) We visited on Valentine's Day without realizing it was a reservation-only night, but luckily, we got seats due to a cancellation. We were the first customers waiting at the door, and a very kind staff member asked if we'd like to dine in. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy the Omakase course on this special day. Thank you so much!

Who knew this spot was just the perfect little nookie in Natomas. I came here for a quick bite before a holiday party and sat at the bar. Little to my knowledge they were doing a special omakase tasting on one side of the bar. The chefs offered us free sake shots just because the omakase experience guests were taking one. THE HOSPITALITY! The food looked amazing on their side, but my food was delicious! I shared a super star roll and some jalapeño appetizer with my friend. The jalapeño appetizer 10/10!!! Best jalapeño dish in Sacramento! I got a dinner special with salmon and fried chicken and it was good also. 7/10. All in all, the food and great first time experience was something id come back for.

First time trying this restaurant and we were so glad we did! We started with Edamame, warm Sake and a Sapporo. We ordered 2 rolls and a Bento box. We got the Lion King and Natomas rolls. The bento box came with teriyaki salmon, three pieces of tempura, rice, salad, and soup. The service was quick, friendly and attentive. No wonder almost everyone who has visited, has given them 5 Stars! We will definitely be back!

Probably one of the best, freshest high quality sushi I've eaten in a long time. The gesa kaarage was good and something different (fun) to eat. Highly recommend and definitely will be back!! :)

Came here with a friend after someone recommended this place. Got a reservation and when we arrived we noticed that every table was already reserved. This was surprising since we booked dinner at 5pm so we could catch an early evening flight out of town. The fish was all fresh it didn't need much as each piece melted in our mouths. We couldn't decide on what we wanted to eat so we grabbed a couple rolls, some hand rolls, and nigiri Will definitely come back

I came here today for sushi and a shooter. The service was not properly done, because there were no water refills until I was about to leave. The sushi was delicious but took awhile longer than expected. We sadly did not enjoy the oyster shooter. My sister and I came into the restaurant today and it was not packed. The receptionist said it's required to have reservations, but online it says nothing specific about reservations being a requirement to eat here. It was around 5 pm and I saw at least 6 tables empty and several chairs open. Next time, I will pass, because the employees made it feel very unwelcoming. As a first time guest, this should had been taken into consideration when we arrived. The hype for this place is not that necessary.

Overall? This spot was a total win for date night. We chose it for the convenience of being close to childcare, but it turned out to be a standout experience. Honestly, I'd pick this place over Kru, the fish quality was on par, but the preparation and presentation here were next level. We came on a random weeknight, and the service was fast and friendly. The ambience? Clean, crisp, and the perfect complement to the food Here's what we had: Miso Soup (4/5): Solid umami flavor, served at just the right temperature. Could've used more tofu, and mushrooms would've been a great addition. Still, for $3, it's hard to beat Umi Masa (Ocean Trout, 5/5): Awesome. Fresh, vibrant color with the perfect fish to rice ratio. The truffle on top was a genius touch, it paired beautifully with the fish Super Star Roll (5/5): Every ingredient worked together seamlessly for an incredible flavor profile. The presentation was top notch, with just the right balance of rice and filling. No over the top sauces stealing the spotlight, just pure unadulterated flavor 12-Piece Nigiri Sampler (5/5): Wow. The presentation alone was worth it, but the freshly made wasabi stole the show. It's such a rarity to find, and it elevated the whole experience. Generous portions, vibrant colors, and the fish was fresh, fatty, and full of flavor Highly recommend this place

My wife and I have been regulars since they opened so I might be a bit biased, but there's a reason why this is the only sushi establishment we dine at in all of Sacramento. From an Omakase service to ordering off the menu, everything is top-notch. the freshness of the ingredients are second to none. I don't need 85 different rolls on the menu to impress me. Quality and freshness above all else. The service is unmatched. Our Go-To is the Salmon Lovers special as well as the Mystery box. The Soju Bombs are the bomb!! We recently enjoyed their seasonal menu, we had four of the five offerings, my favorite was the Amaebi & Uni Martini! Spectacular! Well done Chef Frank and team!

Absolutely phenomenal in all aspects! This place is fast delicious and high quality (the triple whammy). Our server Nikki was incredibly friendly and gave amazing recommendations. We got the Nigiri Special I believe and a roll. Everything was so fresh and wonderfully prepared. The uni was some of the best I've ever had and I've been to more than my fair share of sushi restaurants. The toro melted in our mouths and the salmon oh my goshhh. Selfishly...I hope this place stays secret but really it's on par with some of the best sushi we've ever had!

A more perfect sushi spot does not exist in Sacramento! Though the outside is unassuming and plain, the inside is anything but. So happy to have Chef Frank nearby! 1) The staff are awesome. Our waitress had great recs and also joined us in our Yuzu bombs. She was a fun addition to the experience! 2) We ordered so many items, I can't remember them all. Absolutely everything was incredible! I couldn't pick one favorite dish and I also forgot to take a lot of photos. As something hit the table, we were inhaling it. The Del Paso Roll, the Pepperfin, and the Yuzu Himachi were all big highlights! 3) The pricing is perfect. You get top-tier sushi, plated beautifully without the snobby prices. Is it a little expensive? Yes. Is it 100% worth it? Absolutely. We've heard great things about their takeout presentation and about their udon as well. Cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu!

This spot has been on my list for the longest time and I'm so glad I finally got to try it! I came for dinner and split the mystery box and the superstar roll. Everything was really yummy and I enjoyed all the cuts of fish that came with the mystery box! The servers and sushi chefs are friendly and it's fun sitting at the bar to watch them prep everything! Overall I would def come back if I'm in the area to try more of their menu and omakase!

We reserved an Omakase experience at Chef Frank Sushi to treat ourselves during the hectic holiday season, and we were so glad we did! As we entered, we checked in with the staff on the left and got seated at the sushi bar immediately. Since we were the first party to arrive for the 5:00 pm seating, we had a few minutes to browse all the drink and appetizer options. My husband was wondering if we should order some tempura, but I stopped him as we didn't know how much food would come with the Omakase. Personally I think we got enough food so I was glad we didn't order anything else. The first course was the Agedashi Tomato, a tempura-fried tomato in dashi stock. The second course was a set of tuna sashimi from lean to fatty, and the third course was a black cod dish. They all tasted really delicious and presented in a beautiful way. The next course was a presentation of 10 handcrafted nigiri's from seared salmon to A5 Wagyu. My personal favorites were the uni, mackerel and a piece with tiny fishes (I forgot the name!). My husband really liked the seared salmon as the chili paste gave it a unique smoky flavor. The last course of the meal was a crab steamed egg dish, for dessert we tried the matcha & red mean panna cottas. Again they were all delicious. I also got to tried the vanila Mille Crepe and it was yummy as well. During our Omakase, we befriended a local couple and four expats living in Brazil, and it got rowdy fairly quickly as everyone had the Christmas cheer and were celebrating two birthdays. Chef Frank bought us a round of yuzu sake bombs and that was quite fun to cheers with everyone including the chefs. Before we knew it, everyone was buying rounds! I feared a hangover but knew better to reject drinks from my new friends so I enjoyed a few too many drinks. Overall, we had a good time and would highly recommend Chef Frank's Omakase experience to everyone we know!

Came here for lunch and was seated quickly. Restaurant is a bit on the smaller side. Ordered the dragon roll and the land park roll along with the fried squid tentacles. The fried squid tentacles were freshly fried and hot. I enjoyed it along with the sauce it came with. The sushi rolls were also good. Service was very good. They were quick to clear out empty plates and refilling water.

Have been here probably three or four times and love this place!!! The service, the food and if you happen to catch a birthday celebration they make it a festive celebration. The restaurant is immaculate and has a pleasant neighborhood vibe. Love everything I've ever had. Seriously, from sushi to noodles. Just darn good!!! Thank you for bringing this to Natomas, but I would travel to get there if it wasn't! Just one suggestion, if you get the steak bento make sure you tell them to not kill it twice. I've had it overcooked before still good but tough.

Our friend recommended this spot so of course we gave it a shot. Initially, we intended to have their omakase menu but the restaurant said it was only available for dinner and not lunch. We went on a Saturday at noon and were probably the only guests during the hour, surprisingly. The service was decent and fast, just nothing to remember. The woman that brought out the food was nice but the male server didn't seem to have a friendly demeanor. We ordered the luxury oysters, uni, yuzu hamachi, geso karaage, natomas roll, and the premium nigiri mix. The items we ordered tasted extremely fresh, freshest we've had in a verrryyy long time. Ambiance was mediocre and parking was ample. I would recommend this spot for sushi lovers who want authentic and fresh as you can almost get. Side note: something my partner ate did cause an upset stomach from this meal but not full blown food poisoning, maybe mild and was resolved quickly.

Highly recommend getting the Mystery Box -- the fish is very fresh and melts in your mouth!! The toro was my favorite. The sushi rolls were also really good. We found the Mille crepe vanilla to be just okay -- wouldn't get again because it wasn't fresh. The service was quick and staff was friendly! Would definitely come back for the omakase experience.

I'd been anxiously waiting to try this new little gem, too bad I couldn't wait till dinner for omakase. I'm always excited to do omakase to experience the chef in action. Since we went during lunch, the mystery box will have to do. Loved the tasty variety, a definite abundance of flavors delighting your palette for sure! Most interesting were the baby crabs, never had those before. So cute, I almost didn't want to eat! Nice crunch. Who could resist A5 wagyu (ok, a vegetarian maybe)? Lovely, 72 oz, yummy cut, wrapped around ... Their oysters were the best I've tasted, clean shucking skills as well as adding the pretty tasty condiments. Too many places just shuck them and leave it to you to add the toppings. I forgot what kind of oysters they were but very plump and fresh. Loved them! Nigiri cuts were delicious and plenty. So tasty and fresh atop the perfect rice texture and flavor. I'm not a huge fan of white rice but I can't resist sushi rice! Sunset roll was the last item I tasted and I was quite stuffed and satisfied by then. A roll can't compare to any of the finer items I had so I'll just say it's a roll, and I could've done fine without ordering it. Service was friendly and attentive. It wasn't packed at lunch; therefore, we shouldn't have had to rearrange empty plates. We did; hence, the 4 stars instead of 5.

I learned about Chef Frank Japanese Cuisine through friends who posted on SM having the time of their life eating at Chef Frank. I mean they literally had a conga line going around the restaurant, staff included! Since then, this spot has been on my list to try. Located in North Natomas, this spot easily became 1 of my new go to spots for delicious sushi! I went on a Thursday night with the wifey, no reservations and got there a little after 6pm for dinner. We were sat right away choosing bar over table. I really appreciated our waiter and watching the chef's put together the food. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and I am so thankful she suggested not to order that extra roll because we were FULL by the end of this meal. We started with the luxury oysters, mix tempura and Geso karaage. The luxury oysters just hit that spot something only oysters can do. Very rich in flavor and delicious. The Geso karaage was delicious and came with nice pieces of squid. The mix tempura also delivered well, the veggies were superb. For our main entrée we got the Mystery Box which includes 9 types of fish, 18 pieces total, some with dressing, some with sunomono and some with sushi rice. The box was outstanding. I watched the chef prepare it and was googley-eyed as it arrived. A great box to share with a partner. As if we didn't think this was enough, we also got 10 pieces of premium nigiri. Presentation, taste and atmosphere really made this a special meal. We sat next to a group who were usuals at Chef Franks and got to chatting, we ended up taking sharing a round of Sake Bombs with them and Chef Frank himself. Overall this was a great dinner night and I'm looking forward to returning!
