Awesome food and service . Had their chicken Katsu donburi ($14.95) was crispy and delicious. Friend had their curry donburi was not disappointed, great portion . Restaurant is well -kept , nice and clean . We Will be back to try other lunch specials .

First time here, the food and the service was good. My favorite were the pork belly skewers.

My first time trying yuzu ramen and I'm a fan! Yuzu flavor was prominent and refreshing, perfect for summer. It also helped cut the fattiness of the pork belly. * The tsukemen was great as well! The dipping broth had a nice little kick to it. Noodles were bouncy and chewy. My favorite out of the skewers was the pork belly one, the cut I got wasn't too fatty which was perfect. * Portions are definitely on the smaller side and price is high, but they have some unique ramen flavors that I've not seen in the EG/Sac area.

It's really a tucked off Gem in Elk Grove. The customer service is amazing and the ambiance is relaxing.. let's not forget about the food! It's delicious don't miss out by never stopping by. -I Nikkii Rose loves food so trust my reviews when you see them!

Finally! Some variety in a Japanese restaurant in Sac. What I can definitely appreciate about Washoku is their menu. It should contain a little something for everyone and features the major pillars of Japanese cuisine - sushi, katsu, and ramen. Speaking of which, I'm happy to report are pretty good! We tried 3 of their ramens including the yuzu shio which was my favorite. It had a balanced flavor of yuzu that wasn't over the top, nor was it too subtle, and it played nicely to cut through the rich fatty pork belly. The other ramens were more of your standard fare that tasted more or less similar to what you'd find at other ramen places which isn't exactly a bad thing since you have to remember ramen is just one of the many things they serve. As for the other things they serve, the fish katsu curry while unique was a bit of a let down as the fish and curry were just OK and didn't pack a ton of flavor. We also tried the tuna tartar as an appetizer and found it to be pretty pleasant and would consider getting it again. All in all, a welcome addition to the evergrowing selection of Japanese centric restaurants opening in Sac and definitely a place worth keeping on your radar!

It was my first time coming today, I love checking out smaller restaurants and trying something new whenever I'm making my commute to UC Davis, or coming back home from school! I got the Bone Ramen, and the broth was super flavorful. The meat was so tender and I'm usually not a fan of bone/bone marrow, but it was really delicious and it kept me wanting more! The Chicken Karaage I ordered was also so light and airy, and I love that it wasn't batter heavy! Lastly, I got the Green Tea Ice Cream, and it was awesome! I love anything matcha or green tea flavored! Restaurant was clean! Server was really nice and I appreciate she checking up on me twice even if I was only one person dining in! Bathroom was clean, had a weird smell though, but nothing like Febreeze can't fix! LOL This is a really great restaurant to go to and definitely one I would love to come back and try new things!

This place was both soul satisfying and heartbreaking at the same time. The food, ambiance, and service are all top notch. I had the bone ramen which was just out of this world delicious! The unctuousness was incredible. Hubby had the katsu curry udon which he also thoroughly enjoyed. We were well taken care of, prices were reasonable and portion sizes were generous. Sadly, we were the only diners in the place the whole time we were there. When chatting with our server, she mentioned that they are often very quiet. Location is not ideal but the food and options here are just out of this world. Give it a try and bring some friends! It would truly be heartbreaking if this place closed.

The best hidden gem in West Elk Grove (other than Yoshis) featuring traditional and modern takes on Japanese cuisine (hence the name Washoku). All of their dishes are great, but their special menu and ramen are what elevates this place. They have the best shio ramen I have ever found in Northern California. I have not been able to find better. The Washoku shio ramen is basically an umami bomb with a blend of dried smoked seafood and richness from chicken. Noodles are cooked perfectly, and the broth is good to the last drop (do not waste the broth)! I love their daily menu, especially anytime they have chicken tsukune (minced chicken yakitori, chicken oyster, bonjiri (tail), neck, and liver (reba) yakitori. Chef Daniel takes great care into his work, and the quality of the food here really shows.

For the first time I am speechless...just kidding, but wow! I came here to enjoy an impromptu dinner with a friend. Right away I loved the clean wooden look of the restaurant and overall ambiance. The staff was really friendly and patient with us and the food didn't take long. We shared the Chicken Katsu and the Tan Tan Ramen. Tan Tan ramen: The broth was rich and flavorful. The egg was perfectly cooked with yellow yolks. The ground meat was tender and wonderfully matched with the ramen noodles. I loved everything about it and it was even big enough to enjoy the next day. Chicken Katsu: Out of the two this was my favorite. The curry sauce was unbelievable and like nothing I've ever tasted. It was creamy with a rich mixture of spices that left me wanting more. The chicken was perfectly cooked and still remained crispy even when coated in the curry sauce. I loved the addition of pickled cabbage(i think) as well to balance the richness of the dish. Amazing restaurant!

The lady that helped seat us had a big smile as soon as we walked through the door, so we felt welcome immediately. We ordered the grilled squid to start off with, which they got done very fast. It was very chewy, just like how I like it, and had sauce to add to the flavor. I ended up dipping. The squid a lot because it's a very sweet sauce. By the time we finished, our entrees were out. The hamburger steak looked small at first glance but it's actually very proportionate to how much rice and sauce we were given due to how much flavor it had. It was super juicy as I cut it into little pieces and I pretty much only needed about half an inch of a piece to have a good bite. A full spoon of rice and curry helped balance out that small piece. The curry roux was a light sweet with lots of umami flavor to it. The potatoes were a bit harder than I expected, but I was already full from eating all the hamburger and rice so I didn't need them. The kakuni ramen was ordered because we wanted to try something new, and it did not disappoint. The broth was very rich and the pork belly was so tender, it practically fell into two as we tried to get it on the spoon. I ended up stealing my partner's broth throughout the meal because it was just too good. If you go here, order something you don't recognize. The flavors are amazing.
