We called the last minute and got lucky to have a table for 6. They have both in door and out door seating. We got an outdoor seating with one torch and one heater by our side. We ordered kids two ramen and one fried veggies. We ordered one Dandan men, chicken skin fried rice, soba fish, and many skewers. The portion is ok but the taste is pretty decent. The only thing that you want to be aware is the wait time. They are vey busy so you just need to be patient with them. The lady who served us was very sweet and helpful. Very good service!

Binchoyaki – Disappointing Experience
Binchoyaki is located near HWY50 on the edge of Sacramento downtown, not too far from the city center. While the location is convenient for drivers, parking is very limited — most people will need to park farther away and walk to the restaurant.
The restaurant does have some appealing touches: a yakitori counter where you can watch the chef at work, plus Japanese paintings and sake-themed decor. The bar area always seems lively, drawing in plenty of locals. They also offer a fancy wooden outdoor dining space, but in reality, it’s uncomfortable. It’s noisy from cars passing by, filled with flies, and even worse — fruit from a nearby tree kept falling onto the tables. To top it off, the table and seating were noticeably uneven.
For food, I ordered four yakitori:
Negima (chicken thigh & green onion): Tender, but nothing memorable.
Teba (spicy chicken wings): Small portion, flavor just okay.
NY Strip Loin (Niman Ranch): I could only taste the plain beef, the sauce added nothing.
Shiitake Mushroom: Only four tiny pieces, extremely underwhelming.
All portions were very small for the relatively high prices. The overall quality didn’t justify the cost.
I also tried two onigiri: Tuna Mayo and Ebi Mayo. Both were disappointing. The nori was poorly wrapped, so the rice fell apart easily. The tuna was chopped into tiny bits with little flavor, and the shrimp tempura was just one small piece compared to the amount of rice. Definitely overpriced and not worth it.
Service was another huge letdown. The wait time was far too long: about 20 minutes for the yakitori (acceptable), but nearly 40 minutes for the onigiri, which should be quick to prepare. Staff service was very slow overall, and it felt like we were constantly waiting.
The final frustration came with the mandatory 20% gratuity, hidden in a small line at the very bottom of the menu. I was dissatisfied with both the service and experience, yet forced to pay extra.
Between the high prices, tiny portions, long waits, poor service, and mandatory gratuity, my visit was extremely disappointing. Two stars only for the decent yakitori quality — otherwise, I would not recommend this place.

Great Japanese food place downtown. Not a huge menu, but the yaki/grilled meats and sashimi were delicious. Really interesting mix of pickled vegetables that sets it apart from any Japanese food place you’ll find in the area and made me feel like I was back in Osaka rather than Sacramento.

Super Overpriced for bad to average food and slow service. Some skewers are SO DRY, how do you even mess up salted vegetables??? Those are the worst veggie skewers I’ve had. Very slow service yet charge 20% by default. This might be the worst yakitori place I’ve been to……what a disappointment i love yakitori and I was really looking forward to it…..won’t come back

We had a reservation for 2, and we even arrived early. Despite being on time and they had plenty of empty outdoor and indoor tables, we were made to wait 30+min for a table. What is the point of reservation??
Service: I was already unhappy with the staff at the beginning as they were also rude but we really wanted to try the food. Our waitress was actually nice but no one mentioned the 20% automatic gratuity for every table! It was in small print at the bottom of the menu. I feel like the waitress or staff should mention it but to have the audacity to ask for additional tip for the back was ridiculous when we paid for our meal.
The food was way overpriced for a few pieces of yakatori meat and the flavor was sorely lacking. The meat was even overcooked and chewy and lacking in salt. We had 2 sashimi dishes which was their only redeeming factor in terms of taste.
I would not recommend this place.

This is my 2nd time here and we tried some new things as well as stuff we have had before. The menu is expansive with a lot of options so we had some skewers as well as some main dishes all of which we shared. Some of the skewers are a little pricey for how much food you get and our server wasn’t the clearest explaining it but everything we ordered was tasty. We really enjoyed the shishito peppers, hamachi collar and the chicken wings. Hands down our favorite was the beef curry cheese fries! Big chunks of beef, lots of sauce, cheesy and simply delicious! I’d go back just for this dish alone. The Yakinigiri was also delicious as well! Enjoyed our meal and definitely would go back again the next time I’m im town!

This place used to be good. I’ve noticed a gradual decline since the pandemic. They downsized their skewer menu. Noticed that gizzard, asparagus, and squid legs are absent. The tare sauce also changed. During one of the previous times we came it actually got a little sour. I figure they had it out for a whole day so by 10pm it had probably started to go rancid. We actually had to send stuff back. Even when they remade it, we decided to not eat it and still paid for it because we were embarrassed to send it back twice. During the most recent time we came here, the tare sauce was a lot lighter, but tasted like watered down sugar and was not flavorful. The oysters, duck, rice dishes, and sashimi are still good here though. Also not a fan of the mandatory 20% tip because service here is definitely not above average and the food and drinks are already overpriced.

*Food safety concerns*
We are leaving this public review after a food poisoning incident and we tried to reach out to the restaurant over the course of one week and couldn’t reach anyone. And when we finally did, we were told they would relay the message to a manager. It’s been 2 weeks and we have not had a follow-up.
We traced back the food poisoning to the skewed liver. It’s under cooked. My husband ate the whole thing but I didn’t. And he ended up with the whole range of food poisoning symptoms for 12 plus hours.
It was a disappointing dining experiencing even without the food poisoning. Service was slow. Our water was never refilled. Everything always felt rushed. We loved having a vibrant business in the neighborhood but unfortunately we won’t support this establishment any more.

Really expensive, I mean really expensive.. however, the place is what I would describe as an artisanal japanese eatery that uses a charcoal grill. Everything I have ever ordered has been phenemonal, and has inspired me to make many bome dishes based on their menu items. This is a special occasion location that seems to always be busy (reservations recommended), just be prepared to spend quite a bit. The mochi bacon, salmon dish and fried rice are our favorites.

Delicious as always. The Binchoyaki salad is as tasty as ever. Can’t get enough of that black sesame dressing or the finely shaved salad. Krispy Rice–OMG divine. Will be back soon!!
