15 Best Sushi Bars in Walnut Creek

“We had the chicken and beef bento boxes witch you can choose 2 sides. Both came with shrimp tempuras. The food taste good and
fair priced. Family own , friendly service and clean ambience.
I am especially impressed with their good sushi rice.“

“Amazing sushi restaurant in Walnut Creek, very low key, unassuming spot but with excellent and super fresh food, especially sashimi.

We ordered premium sashimi omakase and extra toro as well as another roll and it was fantastic! I’d go back every time I’m in Walnut Creek!“

“House of Sake in Walnut Creek is an absolute comfort spot with phenomenal quality sushi! Every dish we tried was a delightful experience. The Spicy Holly Roll stood out with its bold, smoky flavors and scrumptious layers—an absolute must-try. The Godzilla Roll was a petite masterpiece, with a beautifully crafted tempura shell that was perfectly crisp and evenly dispersed.

The Cherry Blossom Roll was another highlight, boasting a clean, fresh flavor and a stunning presentation that was almost too pretty to eat. We also enjoyed the Negihama Cut Roll (yellowtail and green onion) and the New Orleans Roll (spicy tuna cut roll)—both incredibly fresh and satisfying. The creative names for these simple yet perfectly executed rolls added a fun touch to the meal.

Every bite hit the spot, and the attention to detail in both flavor and presentation is second to none. Highly recommend House of Sake for anyone seeking exceptional sushi and a memorable dining experience!“

“Sushi was absolutely delicious and chunky!! Just how I like it! No skimping on the portion sizes! The atmosphere is ok - small restaurant with tables just to sit and eat, nothing more, nothing less. If you just want good sushi, this is the place to go. You don’t go here for a vibe or to hang out and relax. Staff were very pleasant.“

“Tatsu Sushi is hands down my favorite sushi spot in the Bay Area. My brother and I have been coming here for a while now, and it never disappoints. The quality is always top-notch—fresh fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and well-balanced flavors in every bite. It’s the kind of place where you can taste the care that goes into each roll.

On top of that, the prices are more than fair, especially considering the quality. But what really makes Tatsu stand out are the little extras. The free gyoza and miso soup? That’s just an unbeatable touch. It’s rare to find a place that goes the extra mile like that, and it’s one of the many reasons we keep coming back.

The only downside? Word is getting out. It used to feel like our little secret sushi spot, but now more people are catching on. While I’m happy to see them getting the recognition they deserve, it does mean we might have to wait a little longer for a table. Even so, it’s always worth it. My brother and I will keep coming back for as long as they’re around.“

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

“Finally decided to order from here. Checked out the reviews. Most were pretty dated. Settled on the titanic roll and spicy chicken ramen. The titanic roll was Amazing!! It was fresh, hot, big enough to split (I didn't). Flavor was on point. Don't really remember a crunchy component but I wouldnt hesitate to order it again.The spicy ramen on the other hand was extremely subpar. Great portion size for the price, but the broth was flavorless. The chicken was definitely dark meat. The veggies and ramen were overcooked. Chicken bouillon, salt and red pepper flakes were a must to achieve the flavor I was looking for.“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

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

“We came in right around when I imagine the Sunday lunch rush had ended because for the moment we were the only two in the entire establishment. Things that stand out, the atmosphere is great. Being next to a busy intersection you'd expect a lot more road noise but it was relatively quiet inside. Great, and quick service.I can certainly see myself becoming a regular here because their chicken teriyaki is delicious. While the food was great my only gripe is parking. Good luck, and if you can park nearby it's worth the walk.

Parking: The lot behind the restaurant is private and belongs to the surrounding apartments. Street parking is very hit or miss. Parking across the street at the BevMo! and crossing seems to be the best strat for this location if your driving.“

“I was looking for sushi, I decided to go here and I was fascinated, excellent service and they have a variety and very fresh. I recommend that you make a reservation. The tables are tight, I think it would not be comfortable for large groups. Obviously I will return ??

* I'm putting up photos of the dishes I tried.
** I forgot to take a photo of the grilled octopus but it is delicious.“

“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.“

“Sasa is a staple for us anytime we want great food, great atmosphere and great service. My husband and I have been going regularly for years and we have never had a disappointing meal, or service. Best sushi around! Staff is fantastic!“

“This is my favorite sushi spot in Walnut Creek. The fish quality is good and I really like the rolls, specifically the golden bear, jalapeño jumper, and dynamite. The baked mussels are one of my favorite items here. The prices are fair and the food is offered for delivery on DoorDash which is very convenient for take out. Definitely give this place a try if you want some sushi in Walnut Creek.“
