Now Tatsu Sushi is another within walking distance pleasure I enjoy for a taste of fine Japanese cuisine. The food there is fresh, and tastes amazing. A pleasure to one's palate. A friendly staff within a clean environment that welcomes all to enjoy their fine dining at a most affordable price. If you're in the mood for Asian food from the Orient, Tatsu is high on my priority list. Domo Arigato! read more

DISAPPOINTED!!! After the new owners took over I can instantly see the differencell in portions and quality. I thought to give them another try and I'm regretting it BIG time!!! I spend $46+ on a to go order for 4 pieces of over steamed soggy tasteless fried tofu $9 and 4 orders of Nigiri sushi. The mackerel and unagi was small pieces. I will NVR order from there ever again, WASTE of my hard earned $$. I love Tanoshi which is on Oak Grove Rd and MUCH better portions and quality. Toyo sushi is good too but not great like Tanoshi. Good riddance Tatsu !!! read more

Tatsu Sushi - Mackerel & unagi small pathetic pieces. - Japanese Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

After visiting the Ruth Bancroft Garden came here for lunch. It did not disappoint. The service was great, they were just opening. I was seated right away and shortly after the server brought miso soup and water. My order came quick as well. There's plenty of table seating. In addition, there's bar seating. I ordered their lunch combo, chicken teriyaki, salmon/avocado roll. It also came with salad, two California rolls, and rice. I left full. read more

We were excited to try this place out as it looks fun and there is always a line to get in! The staff was very courteous, but somethings were left to be desired. When we were seated we only had one set of plate ware and utensils, we also didn't have any soy sauce - the container was empty with its lid upside down. Once we ordered we got our edamame fairly quickly, but half of it was ice cold - very odd. I also never got my green tea. We were given a complimentary gyoza, which was nice. The crazy Cali roll and Mountain roll were both delicious and would order those again for sure! The yakisoba noodles and chicken left a lot to be desired. The atmosphere is fun, and busy, could be a fun date night spot but it's hard to hear if you get sat in the middle seats. I'd come back again because the fish was great, and the ramen looked really good. read more

Went back to Tatsu Sushi after stopped coming to this place for months only because the Korean lady was very rude. I said maybe she doesn't work there anymore. She was not there today alright but found out she's the wife of the owner. ‍. One of the staff members was very nice to me and was very apologetic with what happened. It was my first time to order their lunch special and it was a lot. I brought home more than half of my order. Portion was very generous at $15.50. Pork Katsu, Chicken Teriyaki, rice, salad, 2 pcs of CA roll and miso soup. Adriano was my young server and he was awesome. read more

I am surprised this place is so hidden. The service and food quality were top notch. All the rolls are delicious and the quality of the nigiri, I like it. This is a great place to go out with your friends or family. Tatsu special roll was really good, the tempura flakes along with the fish eggs made it flavorful. The nigiri, I picked salmon, bluefin, and unagi. It came with light rice and a perfect slice of the fish. And the most satisfying roll was the lion king. I am definitely saving this spot and coming back for another round. read more

Located near Sports Basement in Walnut Creek, Tatsu can be easy to miss when driving along Ygnacio Valley Blvd, but that would be a mistake. Been here a few times, including a recent weekend family dinner, and Tatsu delivered again with outstanding service and food. Not surprisingly, they were busy on a Saturday night but we had made reservations, and we were seated after a short wait. They also readily accommodated a person in our group who was in a wheelchair. They have a large menu but food quality has been consistent in the different menu items we've tried on various trips. During our most recent visit, service was outstanding and attentive, and the place has a fun atmosphere with music playing but still easy to chat with the person across the table without needing to yell. Everyone in the party got piping hot miso soup along with a complementary order of fried gyoza that were well seasoned and not greasy. We were there for sushi primarily but were impressed by the chicken teriyaki dinner which included a large amount of tender, flavorful, grilled chicken, salad and rice. The nigiri sushi dinner was delicious, with 9 different nigiri combinations and California roll. The fish tasted clean and was well prepared. In terms of rolls, the scallop roll stood out in terms of flavor, and the rice quality was excellent in the rolls and nigiri. Highly recommend trying out Tatsu for lunch or dinner when you get a chance read more

Wow!! I absolutely love this place! First, how cool is it that they give complimentary gyoza?! That alone deserves 2 thumbs up. But then you add the food, service, atmosphere.... The entire experience deserves a high five! The restaurant is located in a small strip mall with plenty of parking. The interior is decorated with cherry blossoms and is very inviting. We didn't have to wait long for a table, thank goodness. We sat near the sushi bar which was great because we were able to interact with the chefs. We ordered 2 rolls, Hana sake, and the nigiri mix with uni. Everything was delicious. I would definitely come back if I was in the area and craving sushi! read more

Tatsu has disappointed me over and over. I can say I'm done giving it chances and I won't be coming anymore. If you are getting take out, expect to wait 45 minutes even when the restaurant is not busy. They seem to prioritize dine in. I didn't see the note on the confirmation but I think it is a good head up if it is noted before ordering. Not everyone wants to wait 45 minutes for their food. Also, when my order was done, I unknowingly was still waiting for my order until an employee came up to ask me about my order 5-10 minutes later. Now for the food. 2/5 for sure. My eel nigiri was ALLL bones. I couldn't even eat it. Quality definitely is not what it used to be. Good bye Tatsu! read more

Food is just OK for me although Yelps was raving about it. Service was slow and rude. Will not go back.

My 9-year old kid says: "It was AMAZING! I feel like Naruto!!!" We will definitely come back again! Vibe was great! Ambience was spot on! Staff were attentive and service is great! And the food, Delicious!!! Overall, great experience here. read more

I really enjoyed this place! Really cute interior with some cool decor, the staff were very friendly and attentive, and the sushi was really good. Complimentary fried gyoza, they immediately bring miso soup to the table as they seat you, and the Sapporo was perfectly chilled. We ordered the big daddy roll and I can confirm, it is the largest sushi roll I have ever had, almost like I was eating a cut up sushi burrito! I don't usually order tempura fried sushi and was pleasantly surprised how fresh and light the tempura was. Will definitely be coming here again read more

stopped by here for a quick lunch after visiting Sports Basement in the same plaza. Miso soup the moment ur sat. The lunch combo is extremely worth the price coming in at $14 (or $15 if u want the tonkatsu). I got the lunch combo with salmon avocado roll + tonkatsu (for the extra dollar)!! I also got a Jenny roll which was amazing as well!! The salmon in everything tasted like quality!! Very silky and smooth texture :) My partner and I also got some fried gyozas on the house which was a very pleasant surprise!! The gyoza sauce was delicious as well. My only negatives is that My partner got the beef teriyaki and the beef itself...how i describe it... its not the beef teriyaki we are used to...its like a really flat piece of steak beef(?). The katsu sauce was really really concentrated as well. Service was great!! We were constantly being checked in on by the waiters and waitresses. They played music in the background and everything was decorated for the holidays which was a really fun vibe. Give it 5 stars bc it was such a pleasant experience but if I could the honest rating would be closer to 4.5 bc the beef teriyaki really threw me off read more

Tucked away in a little plaza is this very cute sushi spot! (Right next to Kinders) we were greeted and sat immediately but we did notice it got packed very quickly with large groups and families (on a Sunday). Our waitress was very pleasant and she even spoke Japanese w my friend ! The sake sashimi was fresh and delicious! The portions were healthy and they didn't skimp on anything!! I enjoyed the complimentary Miso soup and hot tea!! And later the gyozas were brought to us compliments of the chef!!! The asahi beer was also served very super cold which hit the spot on a warm day!!! The decor was light and welcoming and I'd definitely come again!! read more

Tatsu Sushi - Edamame, gyozas, and sake sashimi, assorted sashimi appetizer. - Japanese Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Personally not a fan. Large menu of too many different items is usually a big red flag for me. Usually means they can't do anything really well. Very loud music inside. Nothing stood out. Heavy on the sauces on the sushi. Imitation crab in the sushi. Wait is oddly long even on the waitlist. Free miso soup and gyoza. Ramen was overrated, meat was thin and the spicy was just a lot of chili oil. Had a lot of family's here. I went to Japan last year and still haven't found comparable quality. read more

Welcoming service with cute decor and an expansive menu. Went for lunch with a friend and ordered the lunch nigiri mix to try an assortment of fish, and friend got a specialty roll. The portions were great and we got gyoza on the house for spending a certain amount. Definitely try their fresh wasabi! It's extra but worth it. read more

We had a reservation for a party 8. The table was ready and the ushered that direction. We sat ourselves. Got our own menu's after waiting a bit. It however was pretty busy. Once we were acknowledged and service started, they were speedy and polite. The menu has tons of options and all look pretty fantastic. They provided a few plates of potstickers on the house. All in all the rolls and food were pretty good. The ambiance is cute. Small and quant. I'd absolutely come back again and try some other rolls that looked awesome. read more

This might be a new favorite. Decided to check this place out after a massage nearby and I was already impressed by the decorations. It looked a lot more lively than another place we were considering going to. We were seated right away and treated with kindness and respect the whole time. They even gave us gyoza on the house which made my whole day, especially given that I had a rough start to the morning. We both ordered bento boxes that included two pieces of California roll, rice, salad, and I ordered chicken teriyaki and spicy tuna. I also ordered some jalapeño appetizers. They were so good and worth the extra wait! I texted a few people while we were there to check this place out. read more

Great food. We had several sushi rolls that were delicious and the miso soup didn't disappoint.

First I have to mention that the Staff is absolutely amazing. Right when you walk in you are greeted and brought a miso soup on the house. Unfortunately, I did not care for the sushi. Ordered the Nigiri dinner combo and only liked the salmon, hamachi, and butterfish. The garlic edamame was yummy. They also brought out gyoza on the house which was delicious. Maybe if I come back I'll just order apps! read more

Absolutely love this restaurant. Their food is always fresh and delicious. Service is always excellent. We have been eating here few times and we have always enjoyed our food. I highly recommend their Beef Teriyaki, and their Sushi rolls like Godzilla and Big Daddy Monster Rolls. They are very delicious. read more

Favorite sushi spot in the bay! The quality is still high, service is polite and ambiance is comfortable. The 49ers roll is my favorite and the fish is super fresh. The rolls are generally large in portion. The staff are always generous with on the house edamame and gyoza. I also enjoy having a bottle of tap water for the table. This place is super popular so make sure to come when they open or use their waitlist. Also greatly appreciate their healthcare discount! Highly recommend read more

Wow! Great find! Was driving back from Reno to Campbell and got a rec from a friend that lives in area. SUSHI QUALITY TOP NOTCH! The menu was pretty extensive which made me think it was a quanitiy place vs quality but I was wrong. Hit all the tuna options they had and was 100. Uni shooter was great. Negitoro handroll excellent. Finished off with spicy tonkatsu ramen. Amazing. Only wish the Tesla charging station was open so we didn't have to make another stop but next time passing through it will def be my spot. read more

Oh man, where do I even begin? This place is absolutely incredible. I used to drive 30 minutes out of my way just for their real crab California rolls. Everything here is delicious the fish is always fresh and buttery, but the real crab California roll is my go-to. Sometimes I even order 2-3 rolls and nothing else because it's that unbelievably good. It just melts in your mouth I'm literally salivating as I type this. The service has always been great, and the restaurant always seems clean. I love Tatsu Sushi , it's my favorite spot. No matter where I live, I will always come back here read more

Went this place for lunch due to Chicken Katsu. There was a short wait (5 mins) before being seated. As I was being seated, the server already had miso soup in hand. I ordered chicken katsu ala carte and a crazy cali roll. I was brought complementary gyoza which was a pleasant surprise. The location was really nice and clean with great ambiance. The food was very hot, and with large portions. The server was awesome as well. Definitely will be back at this place read more

Absolutely love the food here! Always fresh and consistently delicious! One of my favorites for sure.

Walking into Tats Sushi felt like stepping right into the pages of an anime book--vibrant, artistic, and full of personality. The atmosphere is nothing short of stunning, with creative art pieces adorning the walls that make the entire experience feel magical and immersive. As first-timers, we were greeted with warmth and guided by an incredible server who offered thoughtful recommendations. Out of the three rolls he suggested, we tried two--and they did not disappoint. We ended up ordering four rolls and a chicken katsu. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated, but the star of the show might've been the katsu. It was massive--like they served an entire chicken! Delicious, crispy, and so satisfying, but definitely a dish best shared among four people (we tried to power through with two!). This place has quickly become a favorite, and I'll absolutely be back soon for another round. Highly recommend! read more

No point in joining the waitlist on Yelp because they'll skip you even when you checked in.

I feel like tatsu has gone down quality wise and I am just a bit disappointed since I used to rely on them to be my go-to sushi spot in the concord area but honestly now I would just call them mediocre. They add a lot of sauce. Service has always been great. Nothing changed about that. Just sad about the quality. read more

Came here for a last second date night! I've seen the sign for years but never tried the place. It has very cute ambiance that totally makes you forget you're dining in a little strip mall! The food is solid and the service was good too. The only sad thing was we didn't receive the complimentary Gyoza- but by the time we realized it, we were too full. The jelly shots are actually really good! And the flaming dragon roll wasn't just a photo op but was also really delicious. However the cucumber roll wasn't rolled very tightly and fell apart easily. Plenty of parking as they share a parking lot with sport basement, etc. Overall we will try again! read more

So torn because we love this place however, the last time we ordered from here there was a long black hair in my food and the time before that my teriyaki chicken was so smothered in cold sauce that it was if the bottle cap opened and it all poured out. I'm hesitant to try it again. I'm hoping these were snafus and they can get back on track. read more

Ok we have been coming to this area for a few years now and we've tried most places here to eat but for some reason we always passed this spot and finally we tried it and our experience here was good first the beer selection was awesome I was able to try Sapporo Black which I have not tried before the Big daddy roll was a huge portion roll and it is good we also got protein roll and the chicken katsu also was huge portion we love the food and the service was quick and attentive the vibes was nice the neon lights was eye catching would definitely be back here again to explore the other menus. read more

Overall, we had a wonderful meal here with our cousins. One disappointment was that the dinner menu lacks a combination meal option, although they do offer a combo meal at lunch. Service was friendly and efficient. The assorted tempura was about as good as I have ever had it. The breading tasted a bit unique and it was not greasy! The miso soup was, unfortunately, too salty, and my meal lacked a salad, which I would have appreciated. I ordered California rolls and they were excellent. My husband had a pork katsu meal (his came with rice and salad) and sashimi, and he enjoyed the food. The pork katsu was a huge portion. Presentation was very nice and our group received complimentary gyoza! if I am in the area again, I would like to return for lunch. read more
