First off I gotta give a MAJOR SHOUT OUT to this restaurant! I am very BIG on customer service and this restaurant was amazing and listened. Not just that but their food is AMAZING! FRESH! And that is big esp with sushi. For that...this restaurant has just become my GO TO for sushi! I've been looking for a good sushi place to go to, too! IM JUICED! I ordered through door dash tonight. I ordered 4 rolls asking for all of the rolls to come with 1 Unagi sauce each. There is nothing worse than ordering rolls and they give you one sauce for multiple people to share. For this I'm eternally grateful and plan on ordering from this restaurant a lot more! Please go and support a restaurant that actually listens to their customers, has fresh food and has pride in what they serve! read more

Chelsea is definitely one of the best sushi restaurants in the area. Not only is it delicious but it is also very fresh! I still have not eaten inside the restaurant but it seems very inviting and is at an ideal place in downtown Brentwood. I ordered the salmon lovers and the dragon roll. The service was exceptional, food was delicious and made quickly. read more

We got here on a Monday night right at 4:30pm. The establishment was clean and the kitchen looked ready to go. The rolls were fantastic and the service was friendly and attentive. They had Christmas music in the background so that was nice. We've always ordered via DD, and hadn't had the opportunity to dine in. Will definitely come back to try out more rolls and take advantage of their happy hour! I posted a pic of the happy hour menu, you're welcome read more

Place was small, but clean. Tables and chairs. Outdoor seating as well. Service was good. I ordered the Lion King which was about $16, but it took a while to come out since it's baked. It was delicious, but it was VERY small. Kinda disappointed about that. There were 8 pieces, but very tiny. I don't think it was worth $16 at all. If I do comeback again, I would def order something else to try. read more

Chelsea - Very small, lion king roll - Japanese Near Me - Brentwood, California

I was in the area for a hair appointment and ordered pick up that my cohort picked up. Between what we ordered: SF roll, rainbow roll and Saba nigari, the SF roll was the star. The rainbow roll, I know is basically a california roll with fish on top, but all I could taste was california roll instead of the fish on top. Granted the california roll was sizeable, I would opt for a california roll and order a escolar nigari, white fish in the rainbow roll. The SF was tasty, and the spicy tuna plus sauce had a nice kick. For the price of two rolls, one order of nigari and edamame, it was a little pricey but worth the pick up. read more

My Husband and I was looking for something different ,but he really wanted some Sashimi . So we googled upon Chelsea's . It was a nice location outdoor or indoor seating we selected outdoors . The atmosphere was great ! We heard music playing down the way the service was good it was a warm beautiful day my husband enjoyed his Sashimi I had upgraded California roll plus we shared the Salt n Pepper chicken wings . They were the Bomb!! My only remark would be if they would have been fried about 3 more minutes. But they were hot juicy and all the food was FRESH!! We were continuously asked by the entire staff " Is everything ok"? . Rachel our server I really liked her , she was patient, kind and so polite with a friendly smile. My husband really enjoyed the Sake!! Date afternoon was Great . We will be back. read more

My family and I have been regular customers at Chelsea's for years--typically visiting at least once a month. We've always enjoyed the sushi, which has consistently been great, but the service has usually been just "okay." Unfortunately, our most recent visit (11/22/25) was deeply disappointing and felt disrespectful. We arrived around 6:30 PM and were barely acknowledged by the staff, including the manager. I let them know I needed a table for four and waited patiently, understanding that there were no open tables at the moment. About 20-25 minutes later, staff began cleaning a table, and one employee even gestured that it would be ours. Before we were seated, a family of six walked in and immediately took that same table. The manager then informed me that the table was actually reserved, despite the earlier gesture indicating it was mine. There was absolutely no communication beforehand to clarify that the table was being prepped for a reservation. The only reason he even spoke up was because I questioned it when I saw the other family sit down. When I asked why this wasn't communicated sooner, the manager simply said, "We're busy. You should've made a reservation." The dismissive tone and lack of professionalism were extremely disappointing--especially considering how often we've supported this restaurant and how much money we've spent here over the years. It genuinely breaks my heart, because we've always enjoyed the food. But the unprofessional and rude behavior from management tonight was unacceptable. Great sushi isn't enough to make up for consistently poor service and disrespectful treatment. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

Food is usually good, but if it is busy at all, they are incredibly slow and inattentive. The server rarely checked on us. on another occasion, after spending thousands of dollars here, the owner would not fix one dish in which they forgot to include shrimp, blaming DoorDash. Just do the right thing and fix it. Rude. Unacceptable and won't return. Poor customer service. read more

The food was great, I do not need to say any specific foods, cuz it was all great and the service was great also, my go to recommendation is California rolls and a coke cola(: read more

Five stars for the sushi and the service. First time going to this restaurant. It won't be the last. It was crowded at lunch on a Friday and it's quite noisy inside. Too warm to sit outside but they do have a nice patio area. Highly recommend! read more

Our first time in this place. They are located in downtown Brentwood - nice and cozy little place. They have Fresh sushi and a good selection of special rolls. Food tasted great! read more

There's something here for everyone at Chelsea! My friend is more of a sushi purist, while I am partial to the fancy rolls with multiple sauces. We were easily able to find something that suited both our tastes. I ordered one of the house specials, the Sandi roll. It came with a plentiful amount of fried onions. I envisioned a sprinkling of shoestring onions atop the roll, but these were thicker and piled high! I'm not complaining though, I love me some fried onions! My friend got the coco roll and said she liked it and would order it again. I had a piece and thought it was good, but I needed some more of a textural aspect to it. The green tea was good with plenty of refills, and a steal at $1/pp. Fast and friendly service too! read more

the chelsea is serving some of the best sushi in Brentwood. located in the heart of the downtown, the Saturday night vibes here are amazing. i loved how there wasnt a wait for a saturday night, but there was a full house. after ordering and enjoying this sushi experience, i am happy to inform it was a successful night for us here: lion king roll (9.5/10) : made with avocado and crab salad, covered with baked salmon. this was the best thing the whole night, 'Chef Sauce' included. 4 huge rolls, that leave you satisfied with flavors and a kick w the sauce california roll: (8.5/10) : crab salad with avocado. your basic roll delivers, with the imitation crab filling the roll and well made miso soup: (8/10) : small soup with a smooth flavor to it. tofu delicious, soup warm, great w rice chelsea special roll: (7/10) : shrimp tempura & cucumber. covered with spicy tempura and tempura. below par with too much tempura and flakes on the outside. cucumber barely savored; try the spicy mayo w it all around, an amazing top tier sushi experience at chelsea. the return visit shall happen soon read more

First time there and I will definitely go back. Lady at register was super friendly and made sure I was happy. Food was amazing!

Always a great time at Chelsea! Our friend brought us here our first time and we've been back at least a dozen times. The rolls are always fresh and the owner is always there chatting with guests and making sure everyone is enjoying their meal. The outdoor seating is great for those warm summer evenings! read more

So I'll be completely honest here...I did like their sushi, more than many other local places. However, it still wasn't as good as my favorite spot, but it was quite good. I try to visit local spots first because frankly, we need them out here. The tempura appetizer was good, but looked suspiciously like other prawns you might find in the frozen section. The tempura veggies were good and tasted fresh though. Pros: 1. Service was great. 2. Food was fresh and tasty. 3. Presentation was good. 4. Tables were relatively clean for outside. 4. The place was almost full for a Wednesday night, which is a good sign. Cons: 1. It did smell like fish immediately when we walked inside. That is usually a bad sign, but we are outside. 2. It was a little chilly outside even thought the nights are just starting to get cooler. An outdoor heater might be good as it gets colder. Loved that they had outdoor seating. It would be nice to see them make the outdoor area cozier for the coming winter! read more

This was a great sushi find. I started with the Fire Stone, which had spicy tuna and cucumber on the inside and seared albacore on top. I was just about full with that roll but needed something else, so I decided on the 6 pc Negi Hama rolls, which while much smaller than the first roll, it did exactly as intended with its chopped yellowtail and green onion. The service was impeccable! I sat at the bar top and was checked on by three different employees, all of whom were super friendly and attentive. The inside of the restaurant is clean with plenty of room between each seating arrangement. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again. read more

We stopped here to grab a quick lunch after seeing the great reviews. We ordered 2 lunch specials. One was nigiri and cal roll, the other was a sashimi special. Presentation was good but some of the fish was not as tasty as we would have hoped. It was okay, not great. Service was okay too. Overall we were a little underwhelmed. read more

The absolute worst service of any restaurant I've ever been to. My grandson and I were ignored by all the staff except the busser who brought us water. I asked a young female server if she knew who our server was, she said she can take our order. Mind you we were already sitting there 25 minutes. After 30 minutes I caught the attention of the owner and asked if he could check on our order. He came back asking what we wanted because the girl never put our order in. Other tables who came in way after we did were served before us. I will never go back there again and I recommend you do not as well because you will experience terrible service. I was watching them with other tables and it was horrible. read more

This was my first time here, but it definitely won't be my last! The sashimi was incredibly fresh, and I loved that they cut it thick. The oysters were absolutely delicious. I also ordered the garlic ramen, which did not disappoint, and the shrimp dumplings were fantastic as well. Prices are reasonable and affordable. Plus, it's conveniently located close to where we live and surrounded by lots of other great restaurants. read more

We're usually disappointed with highly rated sushi restaurants on Yelp in the Antioch/Brentwood area (for example, a 4/5 star place in this area might be a 3 to us in SF), so we came in with no expectations. We were pleasantly surprised! It was a nice evening so we sat outside, people watching. The waitress was very friendly. We ordered: Hot Sake - exactly what you'd expect Seaweed Salad - Good! Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings - wish it was more flavorful, but perhaps they did this to generally match the other food on the menu? various nigiri (uni, unagi, albacore belly) - We loved the uni! It was extremely fresh, had good texture, and tasted like it just came from the ocean. We liked it better than this place we went to at the Santa Barbara wharf that served fresh uni still in the shelll! Rainbow Roll - This is one of my SO's go-tos at sushi places when he can't decide between sashimi and rolls. Tasted fresh, but we found the fish slices to be on thinner side, which was expected given the price point. Lion King Roll - Very tasty, but the rice fell apart just a tad too easily. Perhaps baked rolls tend to do this? Overall everything tasted fresh, and we had a very enjoyable dinner. read more

I hate giving bad reviews, but we had a truly awful experience here. There was a very loud family right next to us. Normally I wouldn't rate the restaurant for one family but the main waiter (owner?) clearly knew them and had allowed them to BYOB and they were all quite drunk, blasting music, and their toddler was throwing food everywhere. read more

Finally got to try Chelsea and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The ambiance is cute inside and the staff was attentive. It is a small space so be prepared to wait if you go on a weekend. I ordered gyoza, avocado roll, tobiko and for entrees we got beef teriyaki and chicken teriyaki. Everything came out so fast and it was so good. The portion of the chicken was a lot two people could share and the beef was a small steak but was tender and juicy. I will def be coming back to try their ramen. read more

We always get amazing customer service here! I'm very thankful for the servers being so patient with us when our party of five including my toddler and infant took a long time to order and perhaps ordered too much food. My garlic ramen was very tasty and so were the sushi rolls that we ordered! read more

I walked in one night and I was the only one there. It was a slow night downtown though. The staff was very nice. The inside of the restaurant is very nice...love the mural on the wall. I took a look at the menu to see what they had. Sooooo many sushi choices but I was looking for something hot because it was a very cold night. I will need to come back for sushi...some of them sounded great! I got my meal (salmon teriyaki) to go. I was kind of surprised at how small the meal was considering that it was $26. It was tasty although a good amount of my sauce was at the bottom of my bag but that could have been my fault. I will come here again but I will probably order sushi instead. read more

Best sushi in the whole County! Fresh food, great service. Amazing place to relax and go on a date.

Love Chelsea. Best traditional sushi in the area. Been here many times and it's by far the most consistently excellent sushi, and every piece of sushi I've had here is fresh and delicious. This time is ordered the Chirashi lunch special. Chirashi is an assortment of nigiri over rice. Picture attached. I don't know where they get their fish from, but it's somehow better than anyone nearby. Also order the Money Maker roll. Shrimp, crab, avocado & tobiko. Also amazing. The service is always friendly and kind. Everyone is welcoming and the place is clean. There's about 10 tables inside and six outside. Only possible downside, is the portions are a bit small.... But the excellence makes up for it. read more
