Hands down the best sushi in town. Highly recommend. Small, yet cozy location with excellent customer service.

YOU HAVE TO COME VISIT IF YOU ARE A PICKY SUSHI EATER. It's a simple spot that looks like it's family owned, very unassuming but has the best sushi I had in the Bay Area for a while. Very fresh fish, reasonably priced, service is excellent. It's simply outstanding, please give them a try and you won't be disappointed! The sushi literally melts in your month IM NOT LYING TO YOU go

Service and sushi is excellent! This place reminds me of some of the sushi spot in Tokyo. Nothing fancy but just good sushi with great service and very polite people.

Very small shop, perfect intimate setting. I came in the afternoon on a Monday and was the only one in the shop. I was warmly greeted by staff, who was super sweet and apologetic for all of the fans in the restaurant. I told her it was just a warm day outside and that was nothing to be sorry for.The server was also kind. When taking my order I had an odd request to hold the tempura and possibly trade it for something else. He obliged and said it was no trouble. I ordered the Albacore Premium Roll as well as a Philadelphia roll. Both were wonderful, fresh and prepared quickly and with special care for the presentation.I will definitely return to this location again, because the service was wonderful and attentive and the food was excellent! :)

We came here on a Tuesday night and what a pleasant surprise! It's at the end of Main St where there's not much foot traffic, but don't miss out on this unassuming place. Nigiri and specialty rolls were fresh and so good. I've been looking for a go to spot and Ikoi, you may be the one!

Little hole in the wall sushi shop that has a few tables to dine in. Really good sushi and tasted fresh, really like the sushi boxes that can be ordered from the online menu.

Yummy yummy food! We have done takeout multiple times and have also eaten there. Never disappoints. High quality sushi in WC!
Imma be honest on the outside I wasn't inclined to try this place but OH MY GOODNESS YES MAM! So good! I'm so glad we tried here, the sushi quality is BOMB! You will not regret this place! And I'm a sushi expert btw ok I have tried so many places and this is our new spot! One thing I do wish they had music and a little more lighting in there but other than that food and service excellent! The sushi quality and service was so bomb!Will be back!

My husband and I came here for dinner after work. The inside wasn’t fancy like some of the restaurants surrounding it but wow the sushi was soooo goo. Don’t let the decor fool you, the food was some of the best sushi I’ve ever eaten.

My friend and I found IKOI as a midway point for us to meet and catch up-- did not expect to get so swooned by the food ;_; It's really good! I've been a few more times and the fish is consistently fresh & flavorful.Located in downtown Walnut Creek. The staff are very sweet and welcoming. The interior is deceptively simple-- you really wouldn't expect such high-quality sushi served here. Some favorites:- MAGURO TEMAKI (super sweet bluefin tuna)- SAKE BELLY NIGIRI (delectably fatty, w THICCC cuts)- HOTATE NIGIRI (buttery soft)- RAINBOW ROLL (absolutely loaded with fish)- DRAGON ROLL (a must for eel lovers)Reasonably priced and family-owned. What's not to love?

We came in late one evening, warm and friendly greeting. Pleasantly surprised by the food, one of the best prepared baked salmon I've ever had as it was moist and very flavorful. My son and husband also enjoyed the chicken teriyaki and sushi. The portions were generous and everything was delicious.

I love getting sushi here! I love taking my friends and family here when they are craving sushi or Japanese cuisine. The staff is incredibly kind too! This is a great place to have lunch or dinner.
