40 Best Sushi Bars near Lafayette

“Loved this place, but removing a star because they took the teriyaki salmon option off the menu. Strange, because everyone loved it and it was often sold out! The raw fish is hit or miss. Bring back the teriyaki!

My roommates and I check doordash every week or so, just to see if they have Salmon Samba.“

“One of my favorite lunch spots in downtown Lafayette! 🍣

I stopped by after a busy morning at work and it totally made my day. The sushi is always so fresh, the service is wonderful, and Sunny, the owner and her family, is the sweetest. You can really feel the love they put into the restaurant.

If you’re looking for a cozy neighborhood sushi place with consistently great food, definitely give Kiku a try. I’ll be back… probably very soon with more friends! ❤“

“Some of the best sushi in the East Bay, and one of the best sushi chefs, Jack san,“

“Delicious and everything was so fresh 😋“

“The small unassuming entry way will make you think you’re breaking into someone’s house but it’s perfect for that intimate feeling as well. Once you find the right door it’s a super chill vibe in a small space. The chef was preparing everything as we walked in and the server sat us down. The food was super fresh and the chef was very kind. There were 13 different sashimis served along with 6 additional courses of non sashimi items. Very nice service and amazing meal, left full and happy!“

“While pricese were a bit higher than I expected for the portion size, the quality was surprisingly good for take-out sushi. We spent over $60 on two omakase selections, 1 tiny uni don, 1 tiny toro don, and really small seaweed salad.

I wish they sold the scallop nigri a la carte because that was one of my favorite omakase items! Also liked one of the salmon in the omakase better than the other salmon (it looked like 2 different salmon were used). Husband raved about the toro pieces in the toro don and I enjoyed the uni don.“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“Anytime we are in Pleasanthill area we try to eat at Jo’s Honda Sushi. We used to live in Pleasanthill and we would go there at least once a week. We love Honda and all his family ❤️“

“Great food, great service!“

“Friendly people, good food, generous portions, great service! Nothing better than to return to a favorite dining spot and have them not only remember you but also remember your "usual"! Beyond Pleased!“

“My husband and I were casually looking for a sushi place to eat for dinner and discovered this gem!
The location has ample parking and we did not have a wait time. We decided to dine in and since it was just the two of us at the restaurant, we opted for dining at the bar!
Service was so fast and we did not expect how fresh the fish was gonna be! We were so impressed with the quality that we ordered more on top of our initial order!
We ordered the Bento B, Mrs. White Roll and tuna nigiri! We were WOW’d by the fish quality that we ordered tuna and salmon sashimi and were even more impressed with the big thick cuts that served!
Safe to say we will be coming back and bringing more people with us next time!“

“The sushi was really good“

“Delicious and fresh rolls. They are the perfect size! Some places make the pieces way too big and filled with rice.

Both women who helped me were very attentive and caring. Checked on me during my meal and whited I had everything I needed.

Very clean inside. Overall very happy! Will be back soon“

“Amazing sushi bar! The fish is incredibly fresh and you can really taste the quality in every bite. Everything we ordered was super delicious and beautifully prepared. Great atmosphere and friendly service — definitely one of the best sushi spots. I will absolutely come back to IKOI again!“

“The restaurant only for the reason of speaking another language within it the employees take Gonchi out of you is Can by the hair also they steal your belongings we made a case for the police“

“Beautiful products. My order was very carefully packed and arrived quickly. Excellent service.“

“Been coming here almost regularly once a week for the last 4.5 years or so. Probably now one of my most favorite Japanese restaurants.
They have an extensive menu but on top of that, the portions are big. Like the price may be a bit high but with the amount of food they give you, it makes sense. My favorite roll has to be their Lion King roll. Outside of that the Saba Shioyaki has to be one of my favorites.
It's so good. Their gyoza is also really good.

Also, their service is amazing. The waitresses and waiters are all super nice and incredible. Please be patient when things get busy but on the off hours, they're super friendly.
The inside ambiance is your average restaurant. Not too loud, not too quiet. However, fair warning if you're seated outside, passing vehicles and motorcyclists may get really loud. I just tend to prefer sitting inside.
But definitely check out this place, I love it.“

“This hole in the wall has sushi with fluffy warm rice, thick slices of fresh fatty fish, fresh avocado and lemons, and yummy ginger. I recommend the 49er role. I’ve had way more expensive sushi that was not this good. Classic restaurant sushi can be cold and stiff, this is way better. The couple who runs the store are kind and good cooks.“

“literally my go-to sushi spot in wc. i’ve been coming here forever and the service is always amazingly spot-on & food is soooo yummy. i also like to do to-go orders whenever im feeling down.

the food is sooo delicious (i am addicted to the korean ramen lol) and the prices are honestly unbeatable for the area (walnut creek be expensive). seriously too good!!!!“

“Rico pero lo malo es que nunca tienen basil para la sopa pho“

“Great spot for delicious sushi! We were a group of four in the area for business and decided to stop by Toyo Sushi. We were all craving sushi and since this was closet to us we went ahead and gave it a shot. So glad we picked this restaurant with its tasty sushi rolls and geat staff! Our group of friends have been to different sushi spots in different regions and different countries together and as individuals; and we all agree that this sushi spot is definitely amongst the top. Will be back for sure.“

“I had such a wonderful dining experience here recently. The quality of the food was impressive and every plate was presented beautifully.

Everything tasted so fresh. I especially loved the bento box, which came with a perfect slice of orange and some really delicious, crispy dumplings. It is rare to find a spot that puts this much care into their presentation and flavor profiles.

I am definitely planning on coming back soon to try more of their menu. This place is a real local gem for anyone in Concord.“

“The best omakase around!!“

“Thank you Evie and all the staff for making our boys grad night dinner so special!! If you have not tried this place out you need too!! Amazing suchi and yummy Tao Tacos!!“

“I remember going to another branch and having a really delicious meal.Came here and found it!!!I was happy to go in and have lunch.I feel like this place tastes even better!!!Please come here two or three times♡Healing time after a long time?“

“Super yummy and always fresh fish“

“I got the lunch nigri, salmon was buttery, tuna was fresh. Complementary miso soup. Definitely an amazing lunch. Even the katsu was delicious. A plentiful variety of authentic Japanese dishes. Would come here again and recommend to anyone in the area.“

“Freshest fish....my favorite local sushi place!! They have great specials and the staff“

“This place is very cute and casual, and the food is tasty and fresh. Excellent salmon nigiri today, very luscious. The freaky brussels (lol) were shockingly good, unusual on a sushi menu but so garlicky and good.

I’ve been here a few times over the years, but I’m leaving a review today because they go above and beyond in one particular way. They have an actual separate gluten-free menu and gluten-free soy sauce upon request. Note that we dined right when they opened so I didn’t ask about cross-contamination. However, the consideration made me feel really good about taking someone with celiac to dine here. So thoughtful. We will be back!“

“I like to go with friends to this place with my highest recommendations. I visit this place often. This recommendation is always successful. The dishes they serve are flavorable and the stuff is generous and cooperative. always when we go to this place we enjoy a lovely evening. I warmly recommend this restaurant.“

“First time dining in at this place that replaces a previous Chinese Vietnamese restaurant that we used to frequent.

It’s almost like a ghost kitchen in the sense that they have Japanese food (Sachi sushi) and dim sum (Yue Club) operating under a joint name of Saga Kitchen.

The sashimi was alright, though they gave us a bonus of a tuna belly which was delicious.

Sabro plate - ground beef and scrambled egg was not what we were looking for. The ground beef lacked any taste as it felt like straight up ground beef. So not something we would order again. Got it with Ebi tempura but it tasted like those frozen shrimp tempura - know it since I have taste palate that has allowed me to differentiate them, and food sensitivity to also differentiate fresh water from salt water shrimp - theirs is certainly fresh water.

Char shu ramen was delicious. Noodles had a slight chewy texture and the soup was tasty. The charshu, and poached eggs were right on and delicious.

Tonkatsu was ok. A little on the drier side compared to our favorite Tonkatsu places.

The cool robot food runner was fun and entertaining for the kids.

The fabric seats were discomforting as there’s just so much stains on it that it felt nasty seating on it - we changed immediately when we got home.“

“Very clean, excellent menu with very creative rolls. The nigiri 🍣 sushi is fresh and the best I’ve had to date. Personable, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Japanese beers are on point, cold and priced right. This a “locals favorite” which feels very welcoming and the freshness will be bringing me back. Cheers!“

“Consistently delicious! I’ve been here 4 times now and every visit has been amazing. We ordered the Chicken Kaarage, Honey Bunny roll, salmon carpaccio, and gyoza. All were phenomenal and the vibe of the space is very relaxing with nooks of privacy intentionally provided.
I am glad they put in such effort to provide quality meals, great customer service, and awesome atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“This restaurant has an amazing ambiance, delicious food and friendly and professional staff. I definitely would recommend!“

“I absolutely love this place, and it's only gotten better since they just remodeled the entire restaurant. Everyone is so friendly. The food is amazing, both the Chinese and Japanese menus. Their lunch specials are awesome. Cannot say enough great things. I go here all the time for a reason.“

“Very good meal, service was great, I'll definitely be back.“

“Another last minute dinner at one of the local restaurant in San Ramon. Senri Sushi has that cozy, neighborhood spot vibe that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It’s not flashy, but that’s part of the charm, simple, welcoming, and focused on good food.

We ordered the crispy assorted tempura, which came out light, golden, and not greasy at all. Each piece had a nice crunch without overpowering the ingredients. The highlight, though, was the large sushi boat loaded with a variety of fresh fish. Everything looked beautifully presented and tasted just as good, clean flavors, soft texture, and high-quality cuts.

The soft shell crab was another standout—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of dish you keep reaching for until it’s gone.

We also tried the crispy salmon. The flavor was there, but it could’ve used a bit more crispiness, as the texture leaned slightly chewy instead of having that satisfying crunch you’d expect.

Overall, Senro Sushi delivers a satisfying experience with fresh seafood, generous portions, and a relaxed, homey atmosphere. A solid go-to spot if you’re in the area and craving dependable, well-made sushi.“

“Everything is fresh. Very nice presentation.“

“The food is spectacular in many ways and I would regularly come to this place but they keep forgetting our drink orders in all the times me and my family have eaten here.“
