Mikuni Midtown

Mikuni Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar in Midtown Sacramento occupies a landmark perch in the historic East End Lofts building at 1530 J Street. The space is alive with an energy that draws from the cosmopolitan spirit of New York and San Francisco — three sushi bars, a full drinks bar with inventive cocktails, and curated Japanese artwork including striking depictions of female warriors covering the walls, all set against a backdrop of large flat-screen televisions. Founded in 1985 by the Arai family, Mikuni has grown from a 30-seat restaurant into one of Sacramento's most recognized Japanese dining groups, now welcoming more than 1.5 million guests annually across nine locations and supporting over 130 charitable organizations. The Midtown location accommodates private and group dining with banquet facilities suited for celebrations, corporate gatherings, and special occasions. Reservations for parties of eight or more are accepted, and the kitchen offers a broad menu spanning lunch, dinner, happy hour, and party platters — along with a Rent-a-Chef service that brings a private sushi chef directly to guests throughout Northern California.
