Toyosu: Reviews & Ratings
Delicious nigiri, delicious rolls. Enough said. Their salmon nigiri is best in the east bay region
Order: - Premium Omakase Sashimi - O-Toro Nigiri - Osho Roll Great fish with amazing texture and taste & the sashimi doesn't have the common fishy taste :) so fresh!! Instead of one or couple pieces tasting good like many restaurants, majority of the fish was fresh and delicious plus for real wasabi Great service
My friend's and I decided to check out a different sushi location in downtown Walnut Creek. This place is smaller then I am used to so if you have a big party you might have to give them a heads-up. We didn't have reservations and got lucky that a table was leaving just as we got there. One thing to note is that the whole party has to be there to be seated. We shared the poke tower and one other roll that I can't remember the name. I got the Chirashi bowl which was 5 stars! The rice to fish portion was perfect, the rice I believe had some seasoning, I want say either furikake or seaweed shavings. The fish was the perfect cut and it melted like butter when you bite into it. I will definitely go back just for Chirashi bowl. We ended our night with matcha donuts soo good, no picture as we ate it all so fast.
We have wanted to try Toyosu for awhile, but with only two (usually full) outside tables it took a rainy day for us to stop by. Food wise, I ordered the Farmers Market and an Avocado roll and both were amazing! The Farmers Market in particular tasted so bright while still being lightly savory. Their hot tea and Choya soda drink (lemon) were also fantastic, though our appetizer, the mixed tempura, wasn't a good fit. The vegetable choices were mostly nightshades, such as eggplant, pepper, and sweet potato, and didn't work for me as I'm nightshade free. The service was prompt and friendly and we enjoyed our meal. All in all, we'll definitely be returning!
Still just as good. Fresh fish with house soy sauce - soooo great. Service was on point, and my ginger was always refilled! We also got the premium chirashi. Yum.
Such a cute spot in the area and I've had it on my list for a while. Came on a weekday night for dinner, had a reservation but it was empty. At the peak of our time there, there were only 3 other tables. The toro tartare was lovely. Both rolls we ordered were super forgettable. The miso nasu was def our fav. Miso eggplant is always a go-to and Toyosu's is super yummy. The matcha ipa was subtle and delicious as well. For dessert, we had the homemade matcha donuts which surprised us. It was not too sweet and fresh. My only critique would be that the staff was super unattentive. They didn't approach us after we received our food, so solidly over an hour of not being checked up on. We had to chase them down for a check and halfway through we ran out of water. Looking forward to trying more of their menu since there's plenty they offer that many sushi spots in this area don't, just hoping the service will be better in the upcoming future.
Mama and daughter date request by my 5 year old whose favorite restaurant is Toyosu, because of the sushi, the service by Rainbow, the miso soup with baby mushrooms, and the desserts! Today she finally got her OWN salmon Ikura don and ate all the salmon and Ikura and a decent amount of the sushi rice. The macarons are yummy, as is the mochi ice cream and the cheesecake if you have room after all the sushi! Love the quality of the fish here and the amazing service. Their outdoor patio is our favorite place to sit. There's a heat lamp tower and it's covered with a nice spot to people watch with fresh air to boot.
Dropped by here for a quick lunch and was impressed with the quality of the food as well as the friendliness of the staff. For me, this looked like a hole in the wall, and I was glad I popped in. I had three items ordered since I wanted to be able to try things where I could see the quality of how they cook/prepare things. The tempura I started with was served fresh out of the fryer and had the wonderfully thin and crispy batter that I love and crave from tempura. For my main lunch, I had the Sake honey roll and the Hamachi Shotto. I didn't know what to expect from the shotto but it was amazing and fresh. I couldn't finish all of what I ordered so I ended up driving it back home and it still tasted great. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely return here.
Great quality fish and fish-forward rolls! We came here for the first time but will be back again! We got the premium omakase nigiri and every single piece was excellent. The two rolls we got were, like I said, fish forward. It doesn't have all the frills and fillings that most sushi places have, which I liked. The seating is pretty limited, but it wasn't too busy on a Saturday night. The service was great. I highly recommend!
