The Mikuni in Midtown Sacramento is the epitome of a trendy Americanized sushi bistro in a 20-something nightclub. It's a place you don't really go to for an authentic sushi experience, but reserved for those wanting a fun atmosphere and flashy specialty rolls that focus on sauces and nuts instead of top-quality fish.

So here's how my first experience at Mikuni went, in a nutshell:

Yes, it was a long wait...but it was a Saturday night.

Yes, it was pretty expensive...but it was worth it.

Yes, the parking was terrible...but at least it wasn't raining.
