Sacramento has no shortage of sushi, but Tokyo Table in Tahoe Park has quickly become the place locals brag about to friends before making reservations.
Opened by two high school friends who love Japanese food and focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients, this modern spot pairs pristine sashimi and thoughtful rolls with an impressive wine, sake, and soju list, turning date nights and neighborhood dinners into mini celebrations over beautiful plates of fish. 🍣✨
How Tokyo Table won Sacramento’s hearts
Tokyo Table won Sacramento’s heart by committing to quality over gimmicks.
Locals rave that the sushi here is “not rice-heavy, not sauce-heavy,” just clean flavors and buttery fish cut to the right thickness, from salmon and hamachi to rich otoro that people call a must-order splurge.
The chefs keep the focus on premium ingredients—fresh sashimi, balanced nigiri, and creative specialty rolls with thoughtful texture and crunch—so guests walk away talking about the fish instead of a sugar bomb of mayo and sticky sauce. 🐟
Two high school friends with experience in other local spots teamed up to bring a neighborhood Japanese restaurant to Tahoe Park, and it shows in the way Tokyo Table feels both polished and personal.
Diners describe the team as warm, attentive, and genuinely excited to talk about the menu, from the otoro and mixed sashimi platters to which roll pairs best with a crisp glass of sake or wine.
That combination of chef-driven care and laid-back friendliness has made it a go-to for date nights, birthdays, and “treat yourself” evenings. 🍶
People call it their “#1 sushi spot in town,” praising the calm, minimalist interior, the greenery-framed patio, and how every plate arrives artfully arranged without feeling fussy.
The extensive roll list keeps regulars coming back to try something new each visit, while consistent details—miso soup that’s actually memorable, ginger and wasabi with real flavor, generous sashimi cuts—turn first-timers into instant loyalists.
Soon, Tokyo Table evolved from “a new place in Tahoe Park” into the kind of restaurant locals recommend first when someone asks, “Where should I go for really good sushi in Sac?” 😍

Small Sashimi Mixed Platter: Don’t let the word “small” fool you—this nine-piece platter comes with thick, satisfying cuts plus extras like tako salad and seaweed salad.
It’s popular with guests who appreciate more substantial pieces rather than thin slices, and it works beautifully as a shared starter or a lighter main for sashimi purists.

Pan-Fried Gyoza and Other Starters: Lightly crisped dumplings and other small bites give guests something savory to nibble while waiting for their rolls and sashimi.
