BAKEMONO SUSHI

Review of Bakemono Sushi in Folsom, Ca. 6/3/23
We checked out this place after reading the reviews. This was the Blue Nami place, it still has the sign.
The restaurant is very clean, and the service is ok. Our server was a little on the pushy side and was hard to understand.
We ordered the combination tempura, one of the better batters in the area.
For our sushi selection we went with the following:
Mucho Caliente - spicy tuna, cucumber, cilantro, tuna, spicy mayo, jalapeno, sriracha, masago
Orange Blossom - tuna, avocado, salmon, house 2 sauce, green onion, masago
The flavors were good, but the fish on top was just a tiny sliver of salmon.
We'll probably try other sushi rolls, but are we willing to spend our sushi money here or our regular spot? We'll see...

Came here on a Friday afternoon with my mother and we ordered the following: agedashi tofu, 7 pc sashimi, yakisoba, tempura, lion king roll, and a dangerous roll. I just need to say, this place is quaint (in a 日本 way); has attentive servers and managers who really care about how you like the food. 5 stars for the taste and experience. I’ll be back next time I’m craving this cuisine in Folsom!

My family and I came here for dinner . The food was delicious and the service was great. Our waiter was attentive and , kind, and polite and greeted us with a smile . We all ordered bento boxes and next time when we return we will try the rolls . The bento box comes with rice , salad , miso soup and either two or three main entrees . The portions are big especially the mackerel fish and salmon . I’ll add photos of our dishes .

The former Blue Nami is under new ownership and a new name.

You get a lot of edemane though so could with more salt/garlic. The bowl for discarded edemane needs to be bigger.

The rolls tasted very good though one of the sauces was sweet though i was not able to identify it.

The sea urchin was fantastic, not bitter. The ratio of sea urchin to rice was in favor of the urchin.

We do a daddy/daughter date for her birthday every year. I wasn't thrilled when she picked "that sushi place next to the movie theater" but it was her choice so we went.

I was surprised that it was no longer Bluenami Sushi... Actually I wasn't. The last experience I that I had with my wife at Bluenami was bad. Hence why I didn't want to got.

Wow! What a change. The atmosphere is more laid back and peaceful. The sushi was amazing. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and prompt.

I will be bringing my wife back to one of our favorite locations and my new favorite sushi restaurant.

My daughter says 👍 excellent customer service.
