Sora Sushi — Restaurant in Rancho Cordova

Review for [Sushi Restaurant Name]

We visited this sushi restaurant twice—our first experience was great, which is why we decided to come back. Unfortunately, our second visit was a letdown.

On our first visit, the food was fresh, the service was attentive, and everything came out perfectly. We had such a good time that we were excited to return.

The second time, however, was a completely different experience. We ordered about five sushi rolls along with other main entrees, but instead of bringing everything out together, they served each item one by one over a long period. It was frustrating to sit there waiting while our food trickled in. To make it worse, they didn’t bring any of the usual sides like wasabi or ginger. We had to ask twice before we finally got them, which was disappointing.

Our server was good and did their best, but the overall service at the restaurant was lacking. We left feeling let down, especially after such a great first visit. I’m not sure if we’ll be back, but if we do, I hope they improve the way they...

I have been here twice and the food is fresh and well presented and the staff friendly and attentive. I am glad to see a family owned Sushi restaurant a short drive from work. The Apollo and the Nova rolls were great and I may ask if they can torch the Apollo roll for me some time as I favored that one. The Crepe and ice cream desert was a nice finish as I am not overly fond of Mochi. I predict more visits to this establishment are in my future, hopefully with my coworkers and family.

Update 11/26/2021 This is still my favorite Sushi restaurant after a couple of years and, fortunately, they have survived the COVID-19 pandemic. The Aspen roll is new on the menu and it has become my goto roll. Nice citrus flavor combined with heat from the spicy crab and jalapeño and umami from the torch. Personally, I opt out of the jalapeño since I'm a lightweight with spicy food. Looking forward to some other...

The music is WAY too loud and is not geared toward the genre of the restaurant, but the tastes of the 20-something year old employees .. in other words ~ loud, bass driven 'house music' Ordered the Calamari Tempura Appetizer .. could have made shoes from them they were so tough. Absolutely inedible. The Baked Salmon sushi .. it was all rice and MAYBE a tablespoon worth of salmon combined for the 8 pieces. The Teriyaki beef was dry and flavorless. Then there was the waitress, who, despite there only being ONE party of 5 dining in the ENTIRE restaurant, couldn't manage to even keep water glasses filled. Had to flag her down for water, a to go box (take home for the pets), and the bill.

This is not the first time that service has been bad .. I was hoping for the best, but I'm now convinced that I will go elsewhere...
