It was good, UNI was off the charts great!!! but they need a full bar. The night we went, they were short handed and the manager was awesome working hard to make sure every table was covered. We had no delay in service. Could be a cool hangout if they had a full bar. Little price for us, but I'm in my 50's young peeps may like it.

We arrived, and the host service was great! Super personable and friendly host. then we sat down, and waited for almost 8 minutes for someone to come to us. Then, and once the person did, we placed our order for a starter, which was extremely overpriced, and did not taste good at all. 15 minutes later, the person came back and took our order for dinner. The sashimi was not fresh, the rolls had been premade, wrapped in saran wrap, and then unwrapped even the fried tempura was called on the inside of the fancier rolls. It was evident that the food was made ahead of time. Also, despite having at least four servers, we saw ours twice it goes to show that on a Saturday night, there were tons of empty tables and not one person at the bar. Every other restaurant in Walnut Creek is booked solid for Saturday evening, or has a two hour wait list... Unfortunately, this place will not survive, which is too bad because the decor and ambiance was very nice.

Slow service event though restaurant less than 50% full. Drinks came out long after we were done with our appetizers. Ordered draft beer, waiter brought bottled beer, without checking with the table if we preferred an alternative. Main course took 45 min. after appetizers to be server. The main dishes (simple salmon Nigri) for one party (of 4 persons) at our table came out 20 min after after we were all done with our dinner, even though we repeatedly reminded and complained to the waiter. Rolls were over-spicy and not great. Poor offerings of sushi rolls. Too expensive for the poor quality, poor service. Would not recommend.
Gyoza was amazing, sashimi was fresh, the rolls we ordered weren't that excellent. Lobster roll was okay. The broadway roll the crab meat in it wasnt fresh. The server was extremely nice to use. Ambience was great

Omg! This is a new sushi spot in Walnut Creek next to the Macy's of the Broadway Plaza. I loved the indoor/ outdoor feel, the service was quick, the drinks were FANTASTIC and the food was magnificent. I cannot wait to take more of my friends!

Wanted to like it but the inside was like a chincy club. It felt like a conference room with floral prints projected on the wall. The bartender didn’t know how to make standard cocktails. Sake cocktail was waaaaayyy to sweet. Then the sashimi came doused in truffle oil and was warm. No taste whatsoever. Terrible experience. Paid and left. I do not recommend anyone wasting their time or money here.

Sakimoto is located in downtown Walnut Creek. More specifically, it is right next to Macy’s. There is a parking garage nearby so no worrying about parking lot. This spot was recommended by a friend. She said she has been wanting to try it but haven’t had the chance so we checked it out.The ambiance is beautiful. The ceiling has floral decorations that looks to be of Cherry Blossoms. It says the place is a sushi lounge but looks like a restaurant instead but still I enjoyed the atmosphere. When I checked in I marked “casual” because people were dressed casual. It can be formal, it is an upscale restaurant.When eating out I always look for three things: taste, presentation, and service. The food was great and definitely picture worthy. We ordered the 23 Spicy Salmon with shrimp tempura wrapped with yellowtail, kale crunch and pistachio, coconut flakes…I love a sushi with a crunch. The dessert we ordered which there was no name. Sweet gelato: there was lavender ice cream with honey and pistachio sprinkles and Macha, it came with cotton candy tree. It has an acquired taste but you really have to eat the dessert with all it toppings together to catch the taste. I wasn’t a fan of veggie gyoza but I loved loved the garlic Brussels sprouts. The A5 Wagyu was delicious! Literally melted in my mouth! It had a Smokey taste to it.Price: it was a bit pricy for the amount of food you get but this is in an upscale area. So it’s to be expected.Service: Our server Ricky was awesome. He was friendly and attentive. They were really busy when we got there but loved that we were seated right away! Thank you!

Swanky place for Japanese food, traditional & fusions. A bit pricey but well worth it, I guess. Nice huge projections on 2 walls and staff were nice and attentive. Can get a bit noisy on busy days.

This building has been many different style restaurants. The old Crosby restaurant high style great food, can't remember name of second one but it was also a great restaurant. Now Japanese and sushi. Delicious, fresh, lots of variety. Had a margarita with elderberry?. Service was great, very attentive. Beautifully decorated. Nothing bad to say. Hope they are successful.

I wanted to celebrate my birthday in a nice sushi place with good food. After seeing the picture of Sakimoto Sushion on their website I was excited to go there. However, reviews about not good food and small portion stopped me to make a reservation. Another sushi restaurant was closed so we ended up going to Sakimoto Sushi. I'm happy we went there because from starters to rolls food was fresh and delicious , good sized portions and quick service.I recommend this place and definitely come back again.
Sushi good, real crab but customer service at bar was not. Guys stood around watching hockey and not attending to us. Not friendly to us and we spent plenty of money there. Different folks get treated differently, ijs

Good location, cool decor. The sushi was just ok. Husband liked his pork ribs though.

Love this new sushi place! Really good and all fresh ingredients. Including fresh crab meat! Tried a bunch of different rolls, crudos, sashimi and appetizers. Some of the group favorites were the 23 and the Buddha roll. Lotus appetizer was really interesting as well. Can’t wait to come back.

Such a lovely space! Really makes me miss Sakura (cherry blossom) season in Japan. This is as close as you can get to enjoying a meal with friends beneath the cherry blossoms in Walnut Creek. The changing digital projection of the cherry blossoms on the walls is reminiscent of the many digital art exhibits that keep popping up. The hanging cherry blossoms are so beautiful!It isn’t just a pretty space though. The food is solid and we loved everything we ordered. The ramen carbonara is vegetarian and so flavorful! It’s a generous portion, and quite rich and creamy, so it’s best shared between 2. The Lobster Roll has a nice aioli to make it have a flavor profile similar to a traditional New England lobster roll, and is beautifully plated. The Broadway Roll is definitely the standout between the two. The shrimp tempura along with the crispy potato bits on top give such a nice texture. You must get the matcha pudding for dessert! Loved the chocolate ganache at the bottom and the dollops of huckleberry are a nice contrast.
