Kazoku | Teriyaki & More — Restaurant in Roseville

I was expecting more from this place based of all of their rave reviews but was sorely disappointed. For starters, dine in experience is ordering your food up front at the register and then choosing your seat. Once your order is ready they'll bring the food out to your table. You'll have to grab your utensils, napkins and condiments by the front island in front of the register. The island is well stocked and organized. Just a strange way to have a dine in experience in my opinion. This spot seems to be more popular by ways of take-out.

Ordered the Chicken Katsu Bento box, run of the mill sides, california rolls, dumplings, sliced and marinated cucumber in the middle of the box to serve as the 'salad' portion, and then rice. Their chicken katsu was soggy thanks to the sauce being drenched all over the chicken instead of being served on the side like it's supposed to be. There goes the crunch for the katsu.

My partner ordered the deluxe bento which includes a variety of meats such as beef teriyaki, katsu, and chicken. The beef in the bento was pretty tasty but overall, flavors did not live up the hyper whatsoever. Ordered a fountain coke soda which for some reason, had no flavor.

Staff were nice, and they cleaned up tables after dine-in customers left. Looked like they disinfected each table which is great. They also have a bunch of Asian snacks and drinks like ramune by the front register which is a surprising bonus but doesn't make up for their lackluster food and flavor profile.

Perhaps I should order something else next time but honestly, this place isn't worth a second visit. Everything is just way too bland in my opinion, from the meats to the service, to the fountain soda. Try it for yourself but if you actually like authentic sushi and teriyaki, this place isn't it. There are plenty of other better sushi and Japanese restaurants around.

Prices: Deluxe Bento is $12.99 and chicken katsu bento is $13.49. Hours of Operation: M-F 11am to 8:30pm Saturday 4pm to 8:30pm and they are closed Sundays Phone...

My wife really loves this place. The teriyaki Chicken bowl is her always go to meal here. However, this is only concerning my meal. We have eaten here a lot, many door dash orders :) My wife orders her teriyaki chicken and I order the healthy bowl with Tofu being a vegetarian. It was a good meal, no doubt. The Tofu is always nicely toasted. However, yesterday we decided to dine in, and of course we ordered the same. The meal tastes the same, however, the Tofu appeared to be fried this time...why? That would definitely be contrary to a heathy meal. Imagine my surprise when I asked the cook and register person, how they cook the tofu, to be told "deep fried" in "vegetable oil" Wow - Not only was being fried not healthy, but it also wasn't fried in healthy oil. People, you realize that vegetable oil contents have nothing to do with vegetables, right? Look it up. Why not Olive oil - Well I suspected because it's much more expensive. Deeply disappointed, this was my go-to Friday meals.

Sorry to announce, customers, be aware, their healthy bowl is indeed "NOT" healthy. Throwing in vegetables doesn't make a meal healthy. If you are someone with heart disease, high cholesterol, I would avoid this place as other food may possible be deep fried in vegetable oil as well. Very disappointed, there's not many places a vegetarian and non-vegetarian can sit down and eat a meal at the same restaurant; I thought this place was special.

Disclaimer: This is only about my meal and their so-called Healthy bowl with Tofu or anything Tofu for that matter. If you are not watching your health closely and/or not a vegetarian the food would be great for you, my wife loves it, she will continue to eat here, however, I...

Kazoku means 'family' in Japanese, but it seems they're trying to emulate a local Hawaiian eatery. But it's all good. Their sushi is very limited, but still fresh, and they NEVER make the food ahead of time. So you'll never get pre-rolled sushi that's been sitting. Nor will you get any grilled pieces of teriyaki or fried gyoza that's been sitting in a bin. That means you'll wait a bit, especially if there are many orders or guests. When I'm on a budget, I love their 'chirashi' sushi (about 10 pieces of different sashimi atop a bed of rice). Again, the selections are limited to tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and maybe one other type of fish, but it's fresh and reasonable. Their combo meals have the right stuff - the main 'thing' (try the Kazoku Chicken - it has a great slightly vinegary/sweet taste), couple of pieces of Calif Rolls, Gyoza, and some pickled veggies - and rice. You can get that with grilled fish or other types of chicken or beef. And finally, their 'udon' (thick buckwheat noodles) is great comfort food. Terrific local spot - just don't be in too much...
