8. Jidaiya Sushi
Reviewed By james p
Realizing that the Asian delivery options in Petaluma are limited, our search extended north to Rohnert Park. The place delivers and their online menu appeared reasonably priced and comprehensive. The usual salads, tempura, udon, donburi, and sushi, and sashimi are offered. Notable is the fact there there are none of the more "exotic" fish on the menu; no uni, muragai, abi ebi. The prices are good: $4-$8 for nigiri and $6-$12 for rolls. I called at 6:05 pm with the order and I received an email that my order would arrive between 6:55 and 7:05. In spite of a call to the restaurant, my order arrived at 7:35.The food came in plastic containers ; the food arrived all lukewarm-sushi and unagi donburi alike. The place has an offer of an order of "vegetable tempura" free with a $35 order. This "dish" was the first thing I saw when I opened the bag was a container of soggy, tasteless deep fried onions-nothing tempura about them. It went downhill from there. After I heated it up, the donburi and the accompanying miso soup were passable. My wife had nigiri himachi, unagi, and maguro. I had one saba nigiri and a tuna/avocado roll. The portions were minuscule; The roll was the diameter of a Cohiba, and somewhere, featured its namesake fish. The saba smelled and tasted old, and we could not eat it. We love sushi, and we have eaten it dozens of times. Unequivocally, this was the worst sushi we have ever had. If you must eat here, order something "safe" that contains steamed rice. The sushi places in Petaluma may not ever win any Michelin stars, but at least the food is edible.
7. Wayne's Grill and Sushi

An unassuming place in a former Taco Bell, Wayne's offers freshly prepared food of very high quality at reasonable prices. Service is quick, you can go there for lunch and not worry about getting back to work on time.

Every Sushi restaurant in Rohnert Park was closed the day after Christmas which happened to be my daughter's birthday. We were set on sushi for lunch after a long morning of birthday shopping for her. She mentioned Paradise Sushi which was recommended by a friend of her so we thought we'd be adventurous and give it a try. I've driven by this place so many time but didn't think it anything of it. It was packed when we walked in and had to wait for a table. We both thought that it must be good if it was this packed. The waitress was friendly and both waitresses were very busy but they still managed to smile. We walked past a table that had an amazing plate full of sushi and we asked what they had ordered and they had gotten the "All You Can Eat" Oh my goodness...that was it for us! My daughter & I enjoyed every delicious bite and wiped out our plates and yes, as long as you consumed what you ordered, you can keep ordering what you want. Our check total was $41.00 and we chose water for our drinks. Not bad for about $21 per person & all you can eat of yummae sushi plus soup! The waitress was very nice and gave us great service. I will be taking my husband and son to this place soon! Highly recommend....great sushi & great price!

I was surprised and delighted with the menu. So many great options...loved the edamame starter with dip. Miso soup was as good as any I have had in Tokyo! We also liked other appetizers and the pineapple mojitos For $15 I could choose two entrees. The vegetables were perfectly seasoned and cookedwith just a light tempura coating.Well every thing was delicious. Servings were ample. Best of all our server was so sweet and friendly.

Kyoto has always been a restaurant that I've enjoyed, but since recently visiting Japan, I have also discovered that it is more authentic in taste as well as in ambiance than any other sushi place in Sonoma County. It holds up to the traditional Japanese sushi and chirashi restaurants with ease. Their food is very fresh, they have nice tatami rooms and bamboo mats, the service is lovely, and it really is like being transported to Japan. They do tempura, edamame, chicken yakitori, and sushi just perfectly. Everyone has their own sushi preferences which are assuredly not the same as mine, but their tako is tender for tako, and their ebi nigiri is very good as well. The important thing is that their sushi rice is delicious and simple, and that their fish is obviously very fresh and their sushi master a master. Their menu is broad, and they are accommodating beyond it if you ask. If this restaurant were in a different location, like in the middle of a major city, it would get the acclaim it deserved. Outstanding, traditional sushi done just right. Blink, and you'd think you were in Japan.

We really enjoyed our dinner experience at Sushiko. Ample parking, we were seated immediately, customer service was excellent. Staff were attentive and accommodating. Food after ordering arrived promptly and wonderfully displayed on the plates. Excellent flavors and very good portion sizes. I appreciated that the wait staff would occasionally come by the table to ask if everything was ok and if we needed anything. We did have one person in our group who inquired about GF options. The menu does not specify GF options so she had to ask. There seemed to be very limited GF options but the staff were helpful and did a good job at finding something that would work.

So great to be able to walk to a local Cotati restaurant for some amazing sushi! Their lunch specials are great and they don't scrimp on portions or selection! Went to their Curry Feast Fundraiser for Sonoma County Fire Victims, and I wouldn't hesitate to have the curry there again--but it's so hard to pass up their sushi and sashimi!Nice intimate atmosphere with many regulars, so it speaks well that it's frequently full no matter the day!

Not sure what's happened with this go-to place for lunch, but when we were there yesterday it was clear that something had changed: Ownership, chefs, who knows?The soy sauce they served was so salty it was inedible. The sushi was dryish, The miso soup was served luke warm. Everything was loaded with sodium and we were all parched and thirsty afterward. The waiter was brusque, didn't bring our tea, and when we asked for tuna sashimi on our bento box selection, we were told we couldn't because it was "chef's choice" only. We are very sad but we won't be going back.
