Edokko — Restaurant in Sacramento

They are open for dinner now. They are also short-staffed and have a lot of take out orders, so please be patient. I ordered the curry rice and the rainbow roll.

The curry was just okay and does not justify the price I paid for it. It's also very different from when I had it a long time ago. It was more a yellow curry base back then and not like the Golden Curry flavor like I had just now. The Golden Curry you can make at home with the cubes is better in my honest opinion. With those gripes aside, it will be tasty to most because it does have a very homey and comforting flavor.

The rainbow roll was nice and fresh. The only drawback is the pieces were way too big. There were 6 peices. It included the fish and avocado in one bite, except the ends. Definitely not easy to eat if you have a small mouth. One piece was equally 1.5 or 2 pieces. However, the fish melted in my mouth though, along with the rice and the tempura shrimp. So it wasn't too difficult to stuff it whole into my mouth. It was a little magical but not very pretty to watch me eat.

This place is a good mom and pop place, not fancy but they have a little bit of the fancy prices. Me and only a few people were there eating in. To my knowledge, only 2-3 people were on the clock: the cook and the front host, and maybe someone in the back I didn't see. The host was very attentive and she knows her regulars well.

I hope they will get more help when they start getting busy with diners again. And if the cook or waitress reads this, please tell your mom to cut those pieces smaller. Maybe make it 7-8 peices? Thanks...

This place has amazing food. I used to get the edokko don (katsu don with shrimp tempura on top) almost every time, until I discovered yakiniku (thinly sliced pork in an amazing miso and onion sauce). The gomoku katayakisoba is also excellent, as are many of the other dishes. Service can be quite slow (more than an hour lunch when you are trying to go fast) and there is very limited seeing, so I only ever order take out any more. Unfortunately, they are often wildly inaccurate on their estimates of when food will be ready, and have been known to wait until you show up to start cooking (or even check to see if they have the ingredients available). That said, I still love...
