Oshima Sushi & Fugu Lounge

2071 Natomas Crossing Drive
Sacramento, CA 95834
(916) 515-1958

Back in the young days of North Natomas, this was a humble little sushi restaurant and the only one in the area. They done some major redesign with the place and added on the Fugu Lounge part so now you have a restaurant half and a swanky bar/lounge half. It's not as terrible as it sounds...

Since we are lame and didn't make reservations we ended up in the back of the lounge area. Honestly, it was kind of fun. The white booth, low tables and movable ottomans make for a nice atmosphere. The thumpy, thumpy music didn't fit in with a sushi place but I have to admit it was fun.

The only downside to the space was the lack thereof. When ordering plates of sushi that require a soy sauce dish, bottle of sake, and water glass we started running out of room on the small table very quickly. Admittedly, that area was not designed for 10 people to eat a full meal so I can't hold it against them.

The sushi is good and not terribly expensive. In my opinion it's the best in Natomas and better than a lot of other places. They also have some really good happy hour deals and a half-price sushi deal in the afternoon on weekends. They also go all out for football games. I know, I know, it seems like a weird mix again, but it seems to work.
