This is my second time at Hikari Sushi, and the experience this time around was just as spectacular as the first, if not more. The passion and care they put into their food does not go unnoticed and their attention to detail when it comes to making sure their customers have a good experience is top notch. They've even remembered from my first time around that I was a left-handed individual, so table settings and food placements were even catered to that preference. Quality of ingredients being fantastic, and meticulous and passionate preparation made each course amazingly delicious and left me wanting to polish off each dish clean. On top of delicious food and amazing service, ambiance and vibes were simply on point. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be coming back here. I want to be able to share this experience with more people.

Today was lunch and a go at the $2 Oyster Monday special which did not disappoint with a dozen Washington oysters. Chef dazzled us with several other delicacy’s including famous Tuna Tostada, broiled oysters with Miso butter and the Barbacoa Soba bowl! To top it off we were fortunate to have the lovely Sake Sommelier on hand to recommend a few of the best Sake’s we have had. Excellent recommendations made based on our preferences and palate and perfect pairings with our dishes! Time and time again I am impressed with the new creations and service provided by the excellent staff!

We've been to this restaurant several times and it is always delicious. Their menu changes seasonally, and there is always something you've never had before listed. Try it! You will want more. This is one of our favorite restaurants. If we lived in Davis, we'd eat here often.

About the restaurant

Michelin Guide rated neighborhood restaurant with creative and shareable cuisine and a year-round patio.

"With a clear vision, a striking aesthetic and distinctive, mouthwatering flavors, Canon restaurant in East Sacramento is a stellar and welcome addition to the city’s dining scene." - 4-Stars, Sacramento Bee

"Find the convivial Canon sequestered away from the downtown bustle. This cool space that contrasts deep tones against bright whites is enveloped by the aromatic smell of smoke, so it’s no surprise that the house is packed most nights. Chef Brad Cecchi is the culinary mastermind and his menu is pivoted around playful small plates." - Michelin Guide

Canon is committed to a healthy and productive workplace. A 4% service fee is added to dine-in bills to help cover the cost of employee health and wellness benefits and to provide a kitchen equity stipend to our back-of-house staff.

My friend and I enjoyed every delicious dinner entree and appetizer we ordered! We received outstanding service and enjoyed our chats with our servers. The ambiance is beautiful and classy. Thanks to our server convincing us to try the taro, mango, and green tea ice cream, I ended up enjoying the best tasting taro and mango ice cream I have ever had and my friend expressed how tasty her green tea ice cream was! We look forward to dining at Dragon Beaux again in the near future! Thank you, Dragon Beaux, management and staff! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Beautiful estate and environment! The food offered was good and having bottomless mimosas was great as well. The buffet was smaller than expected, and for the prize of $79.95 per person, thought it was not worth the cost. The service was outstanding and it was a fun experience to have as a family!
