50 Best Sushi Bars near Pleasant Hill

“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.“

“Very fresh and would definitely recommend the Big Combo Appetizer (Shumai, Gyoza, Tempura & Yakitori) to go with your Meal. Very friendly people, satisfied with the Food and Service😋“

“Its good food for a good price! I like doing the 2 rolls for $20 deal. As 3 people, we all eat well for $40 with drinks, tip, and tax. I see a lot of reviews about people getting food poisoning? I've been going here for years and that has never happened. The workers there are very kind and wholesome.“

“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!“

“This is my first time to dine-in. Plenty of parking on weekdays. Waiting and checking in process is on a tablet, make everything easy.

Their lion king is still the same tasty as some years ago. The only thing not getting 5 stars is the A5 Wagu special dish. The wagu is too thin like ham.... it is not worth to try.“

“Everything was absolutely amazing!! We’ve passed by this place so many times, I’m sad we didn’t try this place sooner! We have eaten plenty of sushi, and I’m happy to say that everything we ordered at Toyosu was SO delicious. Not pictured was the o toro hamachi, which was definitely my favorite. Now we’ve tried and enjoyed 4/4 of our ordered dishes, we will 100% return.“

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

“The sushi was really good“

“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 fish was incredibly fresh, and the seasoning was perfect. Talking with the new chef, I learned how to bring out more layers of flavor and texture in different parts of the fish through seasoning. He was very talkative, and I will definitely bring my family here for dinner again.“

“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!“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“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.“

“This was absolutely incredible! I am a big nigiri fan and have tried many different restaurants and in the Bay Area this is my new favorite place. The assortment of nigiri was awesome and the quality was so fresh. I also tried a couple rolls too and they were hella on point. The staff made the experience very comfortable, and they were very accommodating. I am stoked to have been recommended this place and will be back soon!“

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

“Fantastic! Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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! ❤“

“We were visiting a friend in Moraga and stopped by for dinner. Based on the recommendations, we ordered seafood soup, salt and pepper fish, and asparagus chicken. We were very pleased and all the dishes were excellent. Service was wonderful and attentive. Highly recommended.“

“My daughter and I love Yo Sushi 🍣“

“The best sushi in the east bay!“

“Had dinner here specifically to try the non-sushi items and the menu and service did not disappoint. We tried the Tokyo beef, fried lobster, lobster risotto, hamachi crudo, and Walnut Creek roll. I would order everything again. Our favorites were the beef- it came with a great salad that paired well, and the lobster items. Next time I would try a different crudo and roll- the ones we got were great but I want to try other items on their menu. The service was on point. Our server was friendly and had great recommendations. The drinks were good- I had the tequila martini and would order it again. Definitely check this place out for a unique and crafty sushi spot!“

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

“The best omakase around!!“

“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!“

“Love the buffet around the sushi bar! Best place to sit!“

“This is one of the best izakaya spots around here. The owners and staff are very friendly, and it looks like they have a lot of regular customers.

I ordered a few dishes to enjoy with some good sake. The yakitori was a bit disappointing since it lacked that smoky, grilled flavor. I wouldn’t recommend it.

However, the steamed clams were excellent—perfect as a drinking snack. The fried herring was so delicious that we finished it in no time. Lastly, I had ochazuke, which was absolutely satisfying and something I’d definitely order again.

Overall, it was a perfect dinner experience.“

“One of my favorite places for sushi. I love the twist on the Lion King Roll with cheese. I also ordered the Golden Scallop Roll which may now be my absolute favorite.
Service is friendly, ample & easy parking, and usually when I go there it is not crowded.“

“The best teriyaki that has savory, smoke, and umami included so it's not just sweet. We visit this place whenever we visit the Bay Area. If you miss the old location in SF, this is the same family that ran the location near Portrero Hill/Soma.“

“It was the best sushi! We will be back!“

“Food was bomb and very fresh. I love the way the chicken was cooked for the chicken teriyaki bowl and the sushi tasted so fresh. I wasnt expecting restaurant quality sushi at a place in the mall but here we are. If you are ever shopping around or want to grab a quick bite this is the spot. Staff was very friendly, place is super clean, environment is surprisingly cozy (but thats probably due to my tastes).“

“This japanese restaurant is really good, delicious food. We like the bento box and sushi. They serve you generous portions, and house tea is a courtesy here.
We are regular customers here and the servers are very attentive, the prices accesible.“

“Island Special Rolls are amazing!!! Phoenix, Pearl, Orinda and Super Star are a few of our favorites!!! #sushigood“

“My family and I come here about once a month, and it never disappoints. We love ordering the salmon belly, lomi lomi, Philadelphia roll, and trying other rolls depending on what we’re craving. Everything is always fresh and delicious, and the staff is consistently warm and friendly. I absolutely love this place. Having come from LA, where there are so many great sushi restaurants, I can honestly say this spot measures up. I’m so glad to have such an amazing local establishment nearby.“

“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.“

“We love this place! The best of Thai and the best of Japanese! I have the salmon skin ham roll today and a Poké bowl. Both yummy. Services is friendly. Food is great.“

“Good food, good service and value for money!“

“Delicious and everything was so fresh 😋“

“Love this little mom and pop sushi spot! The food comes out quick and they make me custom rolls due to dietary restrictions and preferences. The service is great, it is kind of place that makes you feel like family. I usually stop in for a quick bite and a chat on my lunch breaks!“
