“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“
“It’s a contemporary Japanese restaurant with an extensive menu. Decor is bright and cheery. Bonus points for big screens showing a winning Warriors game on the night we dined there! ? Personally I had the cheesy katsu on a sizzling hot plate which was quite a sight and tastes pretty good. My party had sushi and ramen which are ok but the broth is not complex flavor-wise. The draft beer in frosted mugs is refreshing and goes very well with the katsu. Service is friendly and lots of drink options from sake to soju to ramunes. Definitely something for everyone.Vegetarian options: There are options even for plant-based diets.Parking: Saw a couple of pay-per-use EV charging spots in the parking lot too. Probably J1772s.Kid-friendliness: Good menu options for kids and they provide little chopstick training widgets for a fun experience“
“Very friendly service, good food, reasonable prices and a nice atmosphere. They do both Thai and Japanese menus including sushi and sashimi. Excellent value lunch deals during the week. I particularly like the yellow curry and orange peel chicken. My kids love the poke bowl.Vegetarian options: Most dishes are available with tofu in place of meat protein.“
“Actually delicious. We’ve had a lot of sushi in the east bay and this was easily the best takeout - fish was fresh, cuts were generous, and seasoning was interesting and delicious. A little expensive for normal sushi takeout in my opinion but a nice monthly treat! We’ll be back to dine in!Dietary restrictions: Gluten, dairy, egg free“
“I've been coming here for at least 25 years. The staff knows me and my family. The sushi is always fresh and not too much rice, which fills you up, so you can order more rolls! They have all the standard rolls and will customize them if you don't like certain fish. I like the sashimi combination, rose roll, black and white roll, and rainbow roll. They give you some cucumber and crab salad at the beginning of your meal for free. They have a few flavors of Mochi for dessert. They serve very quickly. It may take an hour or less most times we go.“
“We have been going to this restaurant for the last 12 years, at least 2 or 3 times or month. This place has good people who own it, hard working and noble employees, everyone is kind and their food is really good. I love that their food tastes delicious, fresh, safe and that is is highly comparable and often times better than that of much more expensive places. This is a great place to become a regular at, to go with family or to do take out.Our favorite dishes here:Rolls: tekka Maki, hamachi maki, Fuji mountain, Toyota special.Salad: sunomonoBest miso soup in townDelicious and a great value: white tuna tataki.Try their delicious hot tea... Whoever makes it here has the best ratio of water to tea I have ever seen!“
“Although it stated as Japanese restaurant it's actually is a Thai restaurant serving many different kind of Thai food. One particular entree that I would not order again was a Lamb rack dish cooked with curry. The lamb meats had no taste with little meat. It was disappointing. But my other orders were quite good. I liked their salmon eggroll dipped with Thai sweet sauce.“
“This place is a great place to have Japanese dons (rice bowls) as there's a variety of options. I've had the onyako don (egg and chicken) as well as the katsu don. A few times I've doordashed and other times I've ordered directly and all times service was great with quick service. Ambiance of the restaurant is good as well and it's more of a Togo place but does have dining area.“
“Visited November 12, 2023A Japanese ramen restaurant located in downtown Walnut Creek. I live in Walnut Creek, but Vietnamese pho and Japanese ramen restaurants are rare, so I wanted to try warm soup, so I found this Japanese ramen restaurant online. There is a cooking kitchen and a few tables inside the store, but the space is somewhat narrow.There were about 4 to 5 ramen menu items. I wanted to eat spicy tonkotsu ramen, but it was a bit disappointing that the spiciest item on the menu was limited to tantanmen. I soothed my disappointment by adding spicy sauce to the regular tonkotsu ramen at the table.The food is cooked and served immediately after ordering, but there are a lot of pick-up orders during lunch time, so it may take some time. The ramen broth and toppings are a bit oily. The pork loin was quite thick and had a lot of fat, so I personally found it very unpleasant. However, there was Asahi beer as a draft beer, and it was refreshing and delicious. The karaage was warm and delicious. I don’t really recommend ramen.“
“Tried this place for a work lunch, so I had the meal to-go. I got the salmon teriyaki lunch bento box with mixed tempura. The lunch portion is decent. The salmon was maybe a little bigger than fist size, but it was thin and it didn't have enough teriyaki sauce for my liking. I'm still trying to figure out what some of these Japanese restaurants use for their salad dressings because I really like it. I also liked that the meal came with edamame and about 5 pieces of mixed tempura. I love shrimp tempura and I love that theirs had a good ratio of shrimp to breading. The miso soup was good too, not overly salty.“
“Been coming here, and ti the original restaurant all my life. Haven't had a bad day here yet! Love the owner! He always greets everyone and ALWAYS delivers on the sushi. FOOD IS GREAT. I suggest letting him freestyle on a sushi roll for you! Best decision I ever made.“
“Beautiful ambience and attentive, friendly staff. Fresh fish, excellent quality and tasty delectable compositions! We enjoyed each dish very much. Good sake menu and gorgeous looking cocktails we noticed. We will definitely be back when we are in town!“
“Great spot!They don't have the variety a fancy place might, but they put out good food and are always very friendly.Shima Aji is my absolute favorite and I almost never see it anywhere, but it was on their special board recently! Ordered 3, no regrets =P“
