We've been here a few times now, and WOW.... this place has seriously leveled up into something special. They recently updated their menu and it absolutely shows. The new Thai offerings are legit,,, ya, like VERY legit. We came in for a late lunch with a group of four, and everyone found something they loved (always a good sign). The orange chicken, tom kha soup, and pineapple fried rice were all dialed in full flavor, perfectly cooked, no misses. On the sushi side, the nigiri was super fresh and the Super Dynamite Roll was straight fire. Service was great too, she was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. It's Easter Sunday too, our family tradition is SUSHI!!! Honestly, every dish we tried was a 10/10. Can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu. read more

It was our first time trying this sushi spot which wasn't the easiest to find since it's tucked in between 2 other shops. We ordered several sushi today and it was absolutely disappointing! The sushi rice was so wet that it made it hard to swallow the sushi itself. I knew we should've stuck to our usual spot but decided to give this place a try based on the reviews from others . read more

We've been to Kyuzou several times now and I can't believe I haven't done a review for them yet! Immediately one of my favorite sushi spots when I first moved to Brentwood a few years ago. It's a great location, plenty of parking, nice sized dining area and they are also on DoorDash! We prefer dining in but it's nice to have the option for delivery. One of my favorites is the Brentwood PD roll since I'm a big fan of spicy tuna and unagi. Definitely a must-try if you come here. But you can't go wrong with any roll on the menu. They're fresh and have so much flavor! Looking forward to our next visit. read more

I have always loved Kyuzou! I've been here many times and each experience has always been wonderful. The sushi was perfectly presented as always, with excellent taste. The service was delightful as always, with very kind waiters, and chefs. The ambiance was quiet, calm, and relaxing My only caveat this time; I believe they changed the seaweed they used, it was quite chewy and thick, I couldn't eat through it, please consider using a different seaweed! Thank you very much to the chef for preparing another lovely meal for my bf and I, and thank you to our waitress for your kindness and making us feel welcome! TLDR; i have always loved Kyuzou but they changed their seaweed. It's too thick and chewy. I've been here many times and they changed the seaweed they normally use. read more

Excellent lunch specials today I really like my avocado tempera. It is hard to find. I got it with the eggplant tofu spicy lunch special. My family got the Japanese bento box options. we love that you get edamame soup, rice, and salad with it. Can't wait to also try more of their Thai options. read more

The price is reasonable, so it's a good place for sushi and drinks near our neighborhood.

My mother and I came in for a quick lunch date. The restaurant is very cozy and clean. The staff was super friendly, efficient and made very delicious sushi rolls. It was our first time here but definitely will be coming back to try new Rolls/Dishes! read more

My pick-up order was great, as was my daughter's. She ordered the Chirashidon and I went with the Bento combo mixed Tempura and Beef Teriyaki. Both came with Miso soup and a salad. We would welcome another visit. The place is small, though, but comfortable from what I saw when we picked up our orders--nothing fancy, but the front person at the register was super friendly. read more

We decided to stop by because of the high star reviews. We were the only customers there, and the service was decent. However, the food isn't worth the high price tag, especially the 49ers sushi roll, which was wrapped mostly in rice. read more

The service was good. There aren't too many options. The restaurant was cute and was located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. The only thing l noticed was that the fans needed to be dusted desperately... My husband loved his sashimi and wants to go back :) read more

This was our first time trying this location and everything about it was really good. The ambiance is very settle, simple but cute. Me and my husband both got dinner entrees; he got the salmon and I got the steak. Both were really good and was not expecting it to be as presentable and cooked perfectly. We also got their garlic edamame and the flavors on those were addicting to my husband. He ended up scooping some of the flavors from the edamame and ate it with his rice - LOL. We also got the nigiri and to be honest, the quality was really great. The belly of the tuna was really buttery and wish we ordered more, but then we wouldn't be able to eat our main entrees. I personally would definitely make another trip here and try more on their menu. read more

Went to Kyuzou for dinner tonight, haven't been in a while (over a year for sure). I like how the inside is cozy and a bit small. Decorated very cute. Our server was with us soon after looking over the menu which was great. I ordered a matcha IPA which I was excited to try, along with our food and appetizer. Service was a little slow after we ordered - took maybe 15 minutes for the matcha IPA to come out. Got the Korean wings appetizer and miso soup shortly after that. My husband got his teriyaki chicken dinner about 10 minutes before my chirashi bowl came out, and he was almost done eating by the time I got mine. This didn't really bother me tonight since it was just he and I eating but if we were with our kids and their food came out late this would've been a bigger annoyance. My chirashi bowl was super good, it had lots of sashimi and pickled vegetables which I love. I would definitely get it again. My husband said he liked his teriyaki chicken as well. We both thought the Korean wings were delicious - a little spice but not overpowering, nice flavored sauce. The total for our meal was about $80, that was for the teriyaki chicken, chirashi bowl, one appetizer, one beer, and a side of miso soup. Seemed a little expensive, but it was good. read more

Good food and enjoyable atmosphere. Service was good but a bit slow for a not being very busy.

Not really sure why this place is rated so high... I originally decided on this place since their menu looked appealing. I was really looking forward to the yakitori but it was nowhere to be seen. We ended up ordering the spicy tuna roll, kyuzou roll, and yuzu beer. The quality of each item was pretty bad and the portion sizes were really small. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more

Was needing a sushi fix and had not had a chance to go here. Came in, just me...party of one. Decided to sit at the sushi bar. I received a dinner menu and a drink menu. I scanned the menu looking for my favorite roll...some places call it a 49'r roll. I call it a salmon roll with tiny slices of lemon on top. They did not have either listed but they prepared a delicious Rainbow Roll along either the salmon that I requested. I also had a very nice cup of miso soup and a small bowl of edamame. I had wonderful service not only from the men behind the sushi bar but also from the male and female food servers. Wonderful dinner, wonderful restaurant!! read more

The food was amazing literally melted in your mouth. All the fish were fresh and did not smell at all. I really have to say this is one of the top sushi restaurants in town from just the way they make their Nigiri. It's very little rice however it is a big piece of fish however, the way they cut it makes it melt in your mouth. The service was great since it is a small restaurant which feels very intimate if you're going out on a date. The ambience feels like this place has been nearly refreshed, very clean and smells pleasant. read more

Came here to try their Yakitori. They should remove all of the yakitori (skewers) pictures, they no longer serve it. We came here twice, first time was told their yakitori chef was on vacation so they couldn't make it. The second time the yakitori are no longer on the menu, and when I asked to confirm that it is no longer available, the server just answered no very annoyingly. Rest of the foods are okay, typical Japanese foods that you can find and expect of, but nothing special. read more

Tried this place for dinner while we were around the area. Small and clean place, they were slow that night with only a few tables . We tried a couple of yakitoris - chicken thigh meat which were tasty although the serving portion was small. We also had the Hamachi avocado appetizer and the Alicia rule. Both were good and tasted really fresh although I was hoping for it to be a little bit more spicy.. For entrée, we shared a beef teriyaki which was flank steak that was very tender and flavorful. read more

I went to this restaurant as a third party Vendor. I went to pick my order up that was not ready. I sat down for 20 mins, and then I simply asked the employee what tine would the order be ready, so I can let the customer know. The employee said that I was being aggressive because I asked what time would the order be ready. He then told me that he would not give me the order. He also posted that he wanted a safe environment. I did nothing to make the environment unsafe, he was just angry that I challenged him because I waited for so long for my order that a customer already paid for. I will never dine in this restaurant. Employee very unprofessional. The sad part is that the restaurant was empty not much people, so I do not know why the order was not ready for a pick up time 7:13pm, and at 7:30 I was still waiting until the merchant refused to give me the order, because I challenged him. I am sure if they dont get the third party food out on time, if people dine in, how long must they wait. My rating is a 4.9. Rating is higher than the Restaurant 4.3. read more

Looking for a good place to get lunch while our trip to cherry picking in Brentwood on Wednesday afternoon. Order lunch sushi combo for myself with California roll that comes with chef's choice of sashimi and nigiri. All the fishes tastes great and fresh with a good quality. My friends got Chirashi bowl and another got Bento box both looked great and my friends liked it. Udon soup was perfect cooked and the corn karaage was a must. Nice and simply decoration inside and the service was attentive. Recommended!! read more

Kyuzou - Lunch Sushi Combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brentwood, California

The worst! The waitress hovered over us while we talked and looked at the menu. The sushi was disgusting. The maguro tuna was stringy. The hamachi had a hard border that you couldn't even bite through. The sushi rice was crumbly. The people running this place are more interested in being cheap than serving good food. Don't waste your money!!! read more

Been back a few times since my last review.... and overall great. Went a few months ago and the server was new I believe and was frazzled, but everything else is amazing. Their sashimi and nigiri is what sets them apart from other sushi locally. The Toro Fatty Tuna sashimi is maybe the best pieces of fish I've ever had, and the Maguro Blue fin tuna was pretty damn amazing too. Overall this is my top 1 or 2 sushi locally. Just depends on the visit honestly. They are kinda slow, but maybe high quality takes that extra time. read more

I don't usually write bad reviews, especially for small businesses, but I had such a poor experience here that I feel compelled to share. We used to enjoy coming to Kyuzou whenever we were in the Antioch/Brentwood area, but after our most recent visit, we won't be returning. The issues started small: the server forgot my drink, which we had to remind her about - no big deal at first. But then things went downhill. We were served the wrong roll, and when I pointed it out, she double-checked her order book and insisted I had ordered it which I did not. Later, she brought us the bill before our last roll came out. When we asked about it, she admitted she forgot to write it down. She checked her book again and apologized, but by then, it was frustrating. One mistake is understandable, but multiple errors, especially when the restaurant wasn't even busy, made for a really disappointing experience. I also overheard the table next to us getting the wrong roll and receiving a free one to make up for it, so clearly this isn't a one-off issue. I really hope they take the time to improve their service and train staff better, but sadly, we won't be back. read more

It was our first time and we had a great time. Even though we went late only 20 minutes before closing they didn't rush us and they took care of us in the best way. The food was really really good our less favorite was the Kyuzou Roll but it was good, just not as good as the others. We ordered the warrior, Brentwood PD and Alice too. The ambience is really nice with low lights and again the service was always ready to help us. We'll be back read more

We were craving good Japanese food and thought to revisit Kyuzou. We had delicious oysters with the perfect sauce. The wagyu beef skewers were Devine but super tiny. Tender and well flavored. The tempura and lion king were also ok. The problem was with my entree. I ordered the pork belly. Typically served on skewers other places but this was braised, a big chunk served with egg. I tried to cut the pork but it was beyond tough. The waited was prompt to order a replacement. But that left me with just the appetizer while waiting. The replacement came out sliced in smaller pieces. The sauce was delicious but the pork was at least 20 + minutes from being tender. Again tougher than the first. I informed the waiter and he said he would inform the cooks. But did not offer anything else in place so we paid and I went home with no real entree. I went home without eating an entree. I wish we just ordered 2 more wagyu skewers which were tender and flavor filled. read more

There's nothing worse than going to lunch to get away from the office and it being more stressful than work! My coworker and I walked in and there was only one table of two finishing up. You'd think that would mean we'd get pretty stellar service since we were the only ones dining in. NOPE. We both got the bento box. She ordered the chicken teriyaki with spicy tuna roll. I ordered the chicken katsu with three piece sashimi. It took 25 minutes to get our order, and when it finally arrived, mine was wrong. I let the server know I ordered chicken katsu, not chicken teriyaki. No apologies, he just took the entire bento box back to the kitchen, where I'm assuming the katsu was then made since another 15 minutes passed. Could I at least have the rest of my food while the chicken was remade? My coworker ate alone while I sat there. We asked for my order to be packed to go, as we were now late to get back to the office. Abysmally slow, non-friendly service. It was as if WE were an inconvenience as patrons! Food: My coworker's spicy tuna rolls were super fishy (I tried one when I was waiting for my food.). She commented they tasted "old". My sashimi was also super fishy. The chicken katsu was fatty. The rice was hard and clumpy. The salad dressing was creamy, but had no flavor at all. First and last time here. read more

This place was a little hard to find! Right next to Edibles around the corner and across from Chianti. This is a small lightly dimmed restaurant perhaps making it a more intimate vibe. The seafood salad was really good and tasty. The toro, fatty tuna were fresh, decent size and pleasing to my mouth. The unagi was flavored and good too. The hamachi Kama was cooked perfectly and came as a meal with side of rice, seaweed salad and also miso soup which was very flavorful I liked it a lot. The French kiss roll which is lobster baked with white sauce. Definitely an interesting roll so if your a bit daring take a bite. The service was a bit on the slow end, our waitress was nice and the food was great left full and satisfied. read more

We ordered two rolls and one 5 piece order of salmon sashimi via DoorDash. What arrived was 2 half rolls and 5 pieces of postage stamp sized salmon (about 1 inch by 2 inch). Rolls only included 4 pieces and were maybe 3.5 inches long when stacked. $68!! At least they tasted good. Don't order online from here, they will rip you off! read more

When the sushi chef makes simple sushi rolls well, they're running a good sushi restaurant! I came to Kyuzou on a very hot day looking for some light eats for lunch. After the waiter sat me down with some water, I ordered the kappa roll and the California roll. When the rolls came on stylish stone plates, I could tell that Kyuzou was here to deliver! You know I had to take a picture. The cucumber was fresh, and the crab and avocado were light and creamy. The rolls held together well, and the ginger was refreshing. I enjoyed every last bite (watch out!--the wasabi has a kick). Overall, a great experience. I'm eager to try the fancier sushi rolls the next time I'm in Brentwood! read more

Place is alright. They used to give out hot towels. And idk if they still do or I went at a wrong time. Miso soup was good lots of tofu and seaweed. Breaded oysters was over cooked. Brentwood PD roll was good and would order that again! The bento was alright. No tempura sauce came with my order. So it was pretty dry. Also bento came with a small bit of its Katsu sauce with the chicken katsu need more cause it was dry. And maybe more servers. read more

It's a hidden gem! 10/10!!!! I usually order the caterpillar roll with tuna instead of eel! It's amazing! My husband order's chicken teriyaki. Their miso tastes so light yet flavorful!

Got here just right before closing. The food was alright, nothing special, but food was good. I would go back again to try the yakitori.

My husband, MIL & I were in the area and we were looking for a spot to get sushi - so glad we came across Kyuzou! It's definitely a hidden gem in what seemed like a pretty quiet plaza. The staff were all friendly. Not sure if it usually gets busy here, but there were only 2 other tables inside when we went around 3pm. The food came out super quick & they were all delicious! The oysters & Warriors Roll were our favorites. I would definitely recommend to come check this place out if you're in the area & want some sushi. I'll be back whenever I'm in Brentwood again :) read more

Sushi Chefs work very efficiently to get orders out. I appreciate they pay attention to details. Sashimi Platter was fresh, plenty and good variety which included monkfish liver ( don't see that too often). Sushi rolls all good. We ordered them all iseems from Caterpillar Roll to Warrior Roll. Also had the ama ebi & sea urchin uni appetizers. The staff was friendly, personable and accommodating ( they remember repeat customers). Atmosphere was calm & clean. read more

Very disappointed with this place. Went for lunch and the welcoming was cold to say the least.... I was barely acknowledged. They didn't have the yakitori on menu which is why I had gone there in the first place. I ordered one roll and miso soup but the miso was way too salty for me. I had to get their attention to get my bill so definitely not visiting again. read more

The service was great. I order the chef's choice sashimi. The pieces were cut a little thick but it tastes fresh. There was interesting beer choices there. A macha one and a yuzu flavored on from Kyoto which was very good. The rolls were good too. We had a salmon roll with lemon slices. Ambiance was good. I would go back to try some more things. read more

If I can, I would give them -10/10. We ordered take out for the very first time today. First of all, they took FOREVER for the food. They told us 25-30mins on the phone, but they took at least 45 mins. My husband said they took forever to just get a 5 piece roll ready. And their price doesn't match the food quality and quantity! The tempura is RAW inside. Will not come back anymore! read more
