New teriyaki restaurant offering Japanese comfort food opens in Sacramento area

A restaurant specializing in what it calls “Japanese-inspired teriyaki and comfort food” has opened in Arden Arcade. From the standard chicken teriyaki to a “Teri” burger, My Favorite Teriyaki at 2617 Marconi Ave. serves grilled, tangy dishes dressed in honey spicy sauce and teriyaki sauce. My Favorite Teriyaki serves four types of teriyaki dishes, including teriyaki plates, teriyaki bowls, Katsu and Korean combination plates and burgers with wings. Its teriyaki plates and bowls come with chicken, beef, tofu and salmon, according to its online menu. The eatery also serves non-teriyaki marinated dishes, including a popcorn chicken plate and spicy pork bulgogi plate. Craving a juicy and tender teriyaki burger? The “Teri” burgers range from a traditional beef patty with mayonnaise, tomato, onion, lettuce and American cheese, to an experimental Hawaiian burger served with grilled pineapple. “We bring together delicious teriyaki favorites, Japanese-inspired comfort food, and satisfying meals made for everyday enjoyment,” the restaurant’s website read. My Favorite Teriyaki is replacing a restaurant of a similar concept known as I Love Teriyaki. The spot closed in 2025 and was among five locations of the chain restaurant in the Sacramento area. The restaurant is located at the Town & Country Village shopping

Rodent enters Sacramento restaurant during health inspection. What else was found?

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a soul food restaurant after finding about rodent droppings throughout the facility in addition to the live rodent. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Oct. 29, through Wednesday, Nov. 4. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com .

Sacramento rats, food recalls and a new Roseville restaurant. Here's what to know

Sacramento-area residents have a mix of news to track this Thursday, from pest problems to pantry safety to a new dining option. Here’s a quick look at three stories making headlines. Sacramento ranked No. 20 on Orkin’s 2026 list of the 50 worst U.S. cities for rodent infestations, and a Terminix home inspector told The Bee that rats and mice seek warmth and shelter indoors during colder months , squeezing through holes as small as a dime to nest in walls. October brought a wave of food recalls affecting California shoppers , including WinCo salsa bean dip trays tied to peperoncini from a company linked to a dead mouse video, a frozen lemon alfredo fettuccine sold at Walmart for possible listeria, more than 122,000 cases of Gatorade with undeclared yellow dyes and Once Upon a Farm toddler snack bars pulled over a choking hazard. Bohl, the Elk Grove salad and rice bowl spot owned by former Dutch Bros franchisees Hailey and Kyle Garret, is opening a second location at 10357 Fairway Drive in Roseville in 2027 , serving signature bowls like the “lettuce enter the dragon” and “steak me outside” alongside build-your-own options.

The restaurant’s website describes each dish a having a “little aloha” in it. “Some of the best moments happen over a full plate. The first bite after a long day.

Cinnamon Roll Cafe Preparing to Open in Midtown Sacramento

Cinnapop Cafe is preparing to open at 611 16th St. in Midtown Sacramento, with a soft opening planned for November. The cafe is owned by husband-and-wife team Tola Vong and Chhayleang Tang, who began selling their baked treats from a pop-up tent at Sacramento farmers markets earlier this summer. The cafe is small, at about 500 square feet, so the couple is focused on making it feel warm and homey, like a place where customers can walk in and feel at home.

Where to find France's famous, fresh Beaujolais Nouveau wine in Sacramento

Every year on the third Thursday of November, Beaujolais Nouveau is released and immediately flown to shops and restaurants around the world. Made from Gamay grapes in the Beaujolais region of France, the wine is meant to drink while it’s still young. According to Serious Eats , most Beaujolais Nouveau is mass-produced, using lower-grade grapes from the region. It tends to be bright and fruit-forward, a “simple, chuggable wine for celebrating the harvest.” Its more serious cousin, Cru Beaujolais, is made in a cluster of 10 villages in the northern part of the region, with premium grapes and more sophisticated winemaking methods. Because of its immediacy, many restaurants wrap events around the release, so people can experience the wine in the way it’s intended. Three Sacramento-area places are featuring Beaujolais Nouveau this month. The Sacramento branch of Chaine des Rotisseurs , the self-proclaimed oldest and largest food and wine society in the world, is hosting a Beaujolais Nouveau dinner at Brasserie du Monde at 1201 K St. on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 5:30 p.m. Chef-owner Aziz Bellarbi Salah is still finalizing this year’s menu, but guests can expect six or seven courses paired with Beaujolais wines. “We do a little

My 5 Favorite Wineries Near Folsom

People ask me all the time where they should go wine tasting. After years exploring, tasting, pouring at winery events (will work for wine), and judging in the Foothill Wine Competition, I’ve narrowed it down to my five favorite wineries near Folsom. Each one does something no other winery around here does quite the same way, and together they cover five different wine regions, all within an easy drive of town. So, what do I look for in a winery? Yes, great wine is a must, but that’s not all. Hospitality, the setting, price, and events all come into play. All of these figured out how to deliver.
