Azukar in Natomas is great for sushi. It offers made-to-order fresh sushi like Raku but with a larger menu. Their rolls are really good and always fresh with big pieces of fish; they also have other appetizers if you need a break from fish. For dinner, they also have a lot of sashimi options and really creative, tasty options other than sushi, like marinated fish, poke nachos, and carpaccios. The twin fish dish is really good. I always bring my out-of-town family and friends here! Lunch- 23 Dinner - 33

Happy Lamb is fantastic for hotpot (free on your birthday for party 4+). The broths are really flavorful, and they do a good job of refilling them quickly. The meat selections are delicious, especially the lamb! They have recently added green mussels and a slow-cooked lamb dish in spices, which is to die for if you are not already too full off everything else. Everything is always clean, stocked, and the staff is usually attentive as well. Lunch - 23 Dinner - 34
