This sushi was some of the best I've had, the freshness of the fish was outstanding. The different types of rolls were all so enticing it was so hard to pick just a few. The service was fantastic in this quaint little spot in Walnut Creek. I do wish they had a full bar but the drinks they did offer were fantastic. I will definitely be back here again to try more of their signature rolls. read more

I went here on a Sunday afternoon and wasn't sure if it was too late since they were closing in less than an hour for dinner service. They welcomed us in and service was quick and staff were very friendly. We ordered the omakase, sake honey roll, lobster California roll and tempura. The food was quality was great! Fresh fish and the tempura was fried perfectly. I will say that a couple of the nigiri pieces were a bit stringly but other than that the fish was fresh. I would return when I am ever in the area. read more

The food was fresh and delicious and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. The omakase was tasty and featured premium fish imported straight from Japan. Service wasn't super fast because every seat was filled, but that's to be expected. My one little nit is that I wish they weren't playing AI generated videos on the tv. It's just an off-putting thing to have to watch while eating. Other than that, would recommend! read more

Still our favorite sushi spot in the Bay. Excellent fresh seafood and the service is always so good (Rainbow is the best server). Their miso soup is very tasty with fresh mushrooms. And their mochi ice cream is a great way to finish the meal. read more

Came in for dinner and was seated right away. The place is small and intimate and has about 10-12 tables. I can easily see this place filling up during meal hours. This place is a solid sushi spot. The omakase I got tasted fresh and I was able to fully appreciate each fish. And this is coming from someone who doesn't order raw sushi a lot. Presentation of each dish was also very nice. You can tell they're not rushing anything and they are giving each customer high quality foods. Service was fast, nice, helpful. 5 stars all around for me read more

Very interesting menu here! There's a lot of small bites that contain uni - something you don't see often in more suburban areas. And overall, the prices seemed quite reasonable for what you're getting as well! I ordered a Uni Tempura ($26) and Hokkaido Don ($35). The Uni Tempura included 4 pieces. Unfortunately, I found that once it was fried, the uni didn't taste like uni anymore :( The outside tasted like salt and vinegar chips. I guess uni just isn't meant to be fried, so this will just be a one time thing for me. The Hokkaido Don had a beautiful presentation, and I was pleasantly surprised to see uni and ikura and a good amount of fish for only $35! Definitely a great value meal. The uni wasn't the best quality though and had some bitter tastes to it, but I honestly wasn't expecting top tier uni at this price point, so I'm not complaining too much. Overall, I think this is a pretty solid sushi spot for this area! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate my best friend's birthday. We got one omakase nigiri and one premium omakase nigiri to share so we could try a large variety of the raw fish. My favorites were the smoked pieces, as well as anything that was a belly since it's fattier and more melt in your mouth. We also got the daily special - mixed salmon poke bit with crispy rice and avocado. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced! Service was at a good pace and the waitress was really nice. I would recommend coming here if you're craving yummy sushi. read more

On the list of best sushi I've had! It's a small restaurant but the staff were friendly and attentive. The sushi was so fresh tasting. The sashimi melted in my mouth and so good! The gyoza was great as well, maybe even made in house? I was told by a non fisher eater that the beef teriyaki was really good; quality meet, and great portion! read more

Went here for a late lunch on a Saturday. We got the Sake Honey and Ozu rolls as well as a bowl, and 1 miso soup. Good service. Super good and fresh sushi. Went a few weeks ago and I'm still thinking about this meal. This was high quality. Place felt clean enough. Bathroom was ok, kind of icky for me. But not a big deal. Located downtown, Lesher Center for the Arts Parking garage just across the street. Street parking also available. Would recommend. I'm definitely coming back. read more

The only bad thing about this place is the fact that it is closed on Mondays. You can taste how fresh the fish is. The staff is dedicated and always aware of your needs, they do a fantastic job. My favorite items: Walnut Creek lady roll, sake honey roll, wagyu tatami appetizer read more

I came here to celebrate a friends birthday as she recommended it. The restaurant is very small and they do not take reservations, but we walked in on a Friday evening and got seated immediately for a party of 5. We started with the agedashi tofu, which was solid, and I ordered the Sunshine Roll and O-Toro Nigiri for my main. While the quality of the fish was good, the portions were very small for the price--$19 for a six-piece roll and $17 for two tiny pieces of toro--leaving me both hungry and disappointed as I've been to other local sushi spots with the same quality fish, better portions. I might return to try the omakase, but I wouldn't recommend this place for rolls given the poor value. read more

My favorite sushi restaurant in Walnut Creek. Premium fish with many options from Japan, the ladies are incredibly nice, and they always have good specials. This would be highly competitive with comparable sushi spots in SF, NY, LA, etc. read more

We have wanted to try Toyosu for awhile, but with only two (usually full) outside tables it took a rainy day for us to stop by. Food wise, I ordered the Farmers Market and an Avocado roll and both were amazing! The Farmers Market in particular tasted so bright while still being lightly savory. Their hot tea and Choya soda drink (lemon) were also fantastic, though our appetizer, the mixed tempura, wasn't a good fit. The vegetable choices were mostly nightshades, such as eggplant, pepper, and sweet potato, and didn't work for me as I'm nightshade free. The service was prompt and friendly and we enjoyed our meal. All in all, we'll definitely be returning! read more

Amazing food! Fresh and nicely presented. Will definitely go back. We had a great time.

I felt like I traveled to Japan. The fish was so fresh. We ordered the Omakase nigiri and sashimi and I melted a little more with every bite. Don't forget to try the matcha beer - it paired great with their fresh and pickled wasabi. read more

Dropped by here for a quick lunch and was impressed with the quality of the food as well as the friendliness of the staff. For me, this looked like a hole in the wall, and I was glad I popped in. I had three items ordered since I wanted to be able to try things where I could see the quality of how they cook/prepare things. The tempura I started with was served fresh out of the fryer and had the wonderfully thin and crispy batter that I love and crave from tempura. For my main lunch, I had the Sake honey roll and the Hamachi Shotto. I didn't know what to expect from the shotto but it was amazing and fresh. I couldn't finish all of what I ordered so I ended up driving it back home and it still tasted great. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely return here. read more

Great quality fish and fish-forward rolls! We came here for the first time but will be back again! We got the premium omakase nigiri and every single piece was excellent. The two rolls we got were, like I said, fish forward. It doesn't have all the frills and fillings that most sushi places have, which I liked. The seating is pretty limited, but it wasn't too busy on a Saturday night. The service was great. I highly recommend! read more

Been twice now, and they have the best sashimi I have had in years. Staff is lovely, as is the presentation of food. LOVE this place.

This place was amazing. Every single food was so memorable that my husband and I keep talking about every single plate we ate. They were so nice and service was so great. We went there for valentines day and this place def made our date night ! We loved how chill and the food had all the effort of each sushi chef! I like the uni with wagyu the best ! It just melts in your mouth as soon as you put it ! Def. High quality sushi place. read more

A surprisingly great lunch spot. We came here while in Walnut Creek to be at the KP hospital down the street. The place was pretty busy, and they only had 2 wait staff working, so it made the experience less great than it could have been. The food was fresh and very healthy portions! Honestly I didn't think I'd be as stuffed as I was walking out of here. My wife got the tempura bento, and I got the one with sashimi. Just great fresh sushi and food. The katsu was very crisp and the dipping sauce was super fruity and flavorful. The sushi was very fresh tasing and was an nice addition to the full meal. The place is small and quiet, surrounded by othe small shops. There is a good amount of indoor seating and I believe the have outdoor available as well. I really enjoyed coming here, I just wish we got a little better service. We ran out of water after 15min and I had to waive down a person a few times for her to come over for us to get some more. Otherwise a very nice place. TL;DR: Great lunch option. read more

My friend's and I decided to check out a different sushi location in downtown Walnut Creek. This place is smaller then I am used to so if you have a big party you might have to give them a heads-up. We didn't have reservations and got lucky that a table was leaving just as we got there. One thing to note is that the whole party has to be there to be seated. We shared the poke tower and one other roll that I can't remember the name. I got the Chirashi bowl which was 5 stars! The rice to fish portion was perfect, the rice I believe had some seasoning, I want say either furikake or seaweed shavings. The fish was the perfect cut and it melted like butter when you bite into it. I will definitely go back just for Chirashi bowl. We ended our night with matcha donuts soo good, no picture as we ate it all so fast. read more

Lowkey a hidden gem. I love how everything is so fresh and aesthetically pleasing. My favorite so far. The spot can get busy so plan ahead!

One of the better sushi spots I've been to recently. They have a good variety of well-made rolls, but what got me thinking about coming back were the more sophisticated items on the menu - this is a spot with uni, ika, wagyu, and caviar if that's what you're looking for in the area (it's been a bit difficult for me ever since the owners of my fav spot moved states a few years back). I thoroughly enjoyed everything we had and will definitely return soon. The only thing I didn't love was the dessert, but I'd still be open to trying another one next time I'm in. Keep up the good work! read more

Wonderful birthday lunch celebration at this Walnut Creek Japanese restaurant! The decor was clean, bright and had a modern Japanese bistro feel, with nice wooden tables. The hostess and servers were excellent and ensured all of our needs were met throughout lunch. We started with the hamachi shotto which combined rich hamachi pieces mixed with buttery avocado, jalepeno, and caviar. We next shared the amazing premium omakase nigiri platter which included 10 pieces of nigiri per the chef's choice of the best fish that day. All of the nigiri were presented beautifully and included tasty combinations. This was complemented by two different rolls -- one filled with spicy tuna and the other being the Sake Honey roll which included shrimp tempura and spicy tuna topped with succulent seared salmon and topped with a spicy mayo and tobiko. Both were outstanding as was the hot green tea we had with the meal. The finishing touch was a birthday slice of fluffy cheesecake! read more

Came for lunch on a Wednesday and toyosu still delivers! Packed with what seemed to be a working lunch crowd. Service was quick and attentive. Loved the osha roll-lobster and mango and no rice. Hotate nigiri so fresh and sweet. Love that they have tuna belly and hamachi belly too! Nigiri always comes with generous slices of fish on top of a smaller but perfect amount of rice. Only negative is that it's kind of pricey, but very high quality so worth it! read more

My husband is obsessed with this place! It may be pricey, however they have great options here. I love that they have Uni too

Score! Forgot to finish my review from the last time I dined here, but it's been so long that I forgot I've been here before- sorry people, my brain doesn't operate the way it used to! Came here for my son's birthday since he was craving sushi. For appetizers, we chose shishito peppers and edamame both with truffle salt. We then shared a 10-piece omakase nigiri and the sake honey roll. My sons ordered a rainbow roll and the birthday boy had an udon soup with tempura that came with it. All were so delicious- though I can't speak for the rainbow roll since I didn't try it. But my son wolfed it down and still wanted some of my sake honey roll, which I wanted to gatekeep, but I felt like a generous mom. I was sitting across the wall that had the specialties and there was the seared toro with uni that kept catching my eye. It wasn't my birthday but shit, I figured I'm paying so why not. It was $28 for 2 pieces, which my son the birthday boy kept repeating as if we were being careless with money. Good boy, but there's gonna times where money is less important than experiences! Since there were only two pieces, I wanted to share and savor every single little bite with the boys. The rice was falling apart after doing a quick dip in the soy sauce. But the delicate pieces were heavenly as soon as it arrived in my mouth. The toro was smooth and buttery as was the uni, fresh and delicate. Ugh, just thinking of it makes my mouth water. The vibe was nice and low key. The service was friendly and attentive. Thank you, Toyosu. read more

Overpriced for what you get. We were going to be in the area for my bf's birthday and I thought Omakase would be nice, as it's one of his favorites. I knew I was chancing it since they don't take reservations. So on Friday, we made it a point to arrive early. We arrived right at their 5pm opening and were seated indoors by the window immediately. The area was swarming with insects: flies, mosquitos, probably some other things and the windowsill could have used a good cleaning. Kinda of a turn off. If that's what the front of the house looks like, what's going on in the back? I know restaurants also can't help who their clientele is, but there was a family of four with a baby screaming his or her head off the entire duration of the meal, which did not add to the ambiance either. Maybe this could have been avoided with later dining times. We ordered the following: - Hamachi shotto ($24): Three hamachi shots, which really was diced up hamachi, avocado and tobiko in a shot glass. Meh. - Wagyu beef with gold flakes ($30): Tender beef, slightly flame kissed with the torch. Good, but worth $15 a piece? Maybe not. - Wild black cod yuzuyaki ($28): Three measly pieces. Did not have any hint of yuzu in it, although I suppose yuzu could be subtle. - Premium Omakase nigiri ($65): BF said it was fresh, but "ok". The bill was just shy of $200 for the two of us, including tip, no drinks. I actually was still hungry after this meal too and I'm not a big eater. read more

Toyosu is a great spot for high quality sushi in the Walnut Creek area. My friend and I decided to share an Agedashi Tofu appetizer and the Premium Omakase Sashimi. This was definitely enough food for two people. The Agedashi Tofu was very soft and flavorful in the soy marinade. It was a great introductory appetizer for the Premium Omakase Sashimi. The Premium Omakase Sashimi included high quality pieces of fish, including Otoro and Uni. Each piece was unique and was an experience on its own. The most memorable piece for me was the Otoro, since it melted in your mouth like butter. Overall, the service and ambiance was great as well. I would definitely come back to try their other items! read more

Such a cute spot in the area and I've had it on my list for a while. Came on a weekday night for dinner, had a reservation but it was empty. At the peak of our time there, there were only 3 other tables. The toro tartare was lovely. Both rolls we ordered were super forgettable. The miso nasu was def our fav. Miso eggplant is always a go-to and Toyosu's is super yummy. The matcha ipa was subtle and delicious as well. For dessert, we had the homemade matcha donuts which surprised us. It was not too sweet and fresh. My only critique would be that the staff was super unattentive. They didn't approach us after we received our food, so solidly over an hour of not being checked up on. We had to chase them down for a check and halfway through we ran out of water. Looking forward to trying more of their menu since there's plenty they offer that many sushi spots in this area don't, just hoping the service will be better in the upcoming future. read more
