Itching to explore the newest restaurant and retail additions to Elk Grove? From the long-awaited Costco to a colorful sushi bar, read on for a list of the latest hot spots to debut near you.
Costco Wholesale
Costco is a big-box retailer whose fifth Sacramento-area location is now open at 7400 Elk Grove Blvd., after a long wait for a branch serving the area.
Its yearly membership fee grants access to a large rotating selection of low-priced goods, from household staples like toilet paper and rotisserie chickens to seasonal decor to electronics.
The Elk Grove Costco is distinguished by a self-service kiosk at the standard Costco café. It also has a gas station, a pharmacy, an optical center and a bakery. If you want to check out the current offerings, Costco's website features a look at many of its items.
Elif Tea Cafe
Stop by 9171 Elk Grove Florin Road, Suite 3 and you'll find Elif Tea Cafe, a new anime-themed bubble tea cafe that has decorated its space with stickers and posters of anime and video game characters. It offers sandwiches and rice and noodle bowls to accompany its beverages.
Look for signature drinks like the Uyghur sea salt milk tea, lychee iced tea and passion fruit smoothie. The ten topping choices include pineapple, grass jelly and coconut jelly, as well as plain boba. (You can check out the full menu here.)
Miyabi
Miyabi is a new sushi bar located at 2513 W. Taron Court, Suite 120. The family-owned, sushi-focused eatery also offers comfort-food Japanese dishes like oyako donburi (chicken and egg over rice).
The menu features daily sashimi specials and omakase (chef’s choice) meals, as well as California-style house specialty rolls like the DBK, filled with snow crab salad, avocado and tempura, and topped with unagi, chopped tuna mixed with garlic and tobiko.
