“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 ❤️“

“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!“

“We had a great dinner here! Everything felt very authentic, and you can tell they put a lot of care into preparing their seafood. The proportions were spot on.
A huge surprise was the miso soup—it was so good that even my kids, who usually don't touch it, finished the whole bowl. The salad was simple and refreshing, and the fried chicken (karaage) was perfectly crispy and tender. The beef was a little on the salty side for my taste, but overall, it didn't take away from a really enjoyable meal.
We liked it so much that we even grabbed some nigiri to go, and the kids absolutely loved it. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to.“

“The freshest sushi I’ve ever had in this area. Hands down. Will definitely be back!“

“The sushi was really good“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“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!!!!“

“The food is consistent and the service is fast! I really enjoy their lunch special with teriyaki chicken and a California roll. Since I went for dinner this weekend, I just ordered the same menu items I would get in the lunch special and they were great!“

“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.“

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

“I grabbed take out from Sushi time and was super impressed. The packaging was great, miso soup was scalding hot, wakame fresh and crisp and perfectly seasoned. We tried Spicy Rainbow Roll, Mega Roll, Salmon Paradise, Flying Shrimp, Red Dragon and Cherry Blossom rolls. They were all incredible! They even provide training chopsticks for the kids!“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“Excellent sushi again and again. Highly recommend this restaurant. Great service and fresh fish every time.“

“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.“

“Best sushi meal at this price point ive ever had. Got the Nigiri & roll combo, came with toro, salmon belly, amber jack, striper.. Premium Nigiri pieces in a combo at this price, as fresh and executed well as it was? Unreal.
Couple of the pieces had fresh Yuzu juice brushed on.

Incredible for 30$

Service was warm & friendly even when it got busy.“

“We got there in time for Happy Hour. The service was outstanding. Our server named Lumbi was attentive, super nice and took care of my family (plus our dog) so well. She brought out our food quickly, drinks refills quickly and our food came out flawlessly.

The prices compared to Irvine (where we are from) is very affordable!! The fish was fresh and the avocado roll was to die for. Not traditional sushi, it’s quite westernized so if that’s your style you’ll be happy. Solid locals spot!“
