We were excited to try this place out as it looks fun and there is always a line to get in! The staff was very courteous, but somethings were left to be desired. When we were seated we only had one set of plate ware and utensils, we also didn't have any soy sauce - the container was empty with its lid upside down. Once we ordered we got our edamame fairly quickly, but half of it was ice cold - very odd. I also never got my green tea. We were given a complimentary gyoza, which was nice. The crazy Cali roll and Mountain roll were both delicious and would order those again for sure! The yakisoba noodles and chicken left a lot to be desired. The atmosphere is fun, and busy, could be a fun date night spot but it's hard to hear if you get sat in the middle seats. I'd come back again because the fish was great, and the ramen looked really good.

Fried Gyoza
Matthew C.

I am surprised this place is so hidden. The service and food quality were top notch. All the rolls are delicious and the quality of the nigiri, I like it. This is a great place to go out with your friends or family. Tatsu special roll was really good, the tempura flakes along with the fish eggs made it flavorful. The nigiri, I picked salmon, bluefin, and unagi. It came with light rice and a perfect slice of the fish. And the most satisfying roll was the lion king. I am definitely saving this spot and coming back for another round.

Generous Chicken Teriyaki dinner with salad and rice (Oct 2025)
Alan G.

Located near Sports Basement in Walnut Creek, Tatsu can be easy to miss when driving along Ygnacio Valley Blvd, but that would be a mistake. Been here a few times, including a recent weekend family dinner, and Tatsu delivered again with outstanding service and food. Not surprisingly, they were busy on a Saturday night but we had made reservations, and we were seated after a short wait. They also readily accommodated a person in our group who was in a wheelchair. They have a large menu but food quality has been consistent in the different menu items we've tried on various trips. During our most recent visit, service was outstanding and attentive, and the place has a fun atmosphere with music playing but still easy to chat with the person across the table without needing to yell. Everyone in the party got piping hot miso soup along with a complementary order of fried gyoza that were well seasoned and not greasy. We were there for sushi primarily but were impressed by the chicken teriyaki dinner which included a large amount of tender, flavorful, grilled chicken, salad and rice. The nigiri sushi dinner was delicious, with 9 different nigiri combinations and California roll. The fish tasted clean and was well prepared. In terms of rolls, the scallop roll stood out in terms of flavor, and the rice quality was excellent in the rolls and nigiri. Highly recommend trying out Tatsu for lunch or dinner when you get a chance

Nigiri mix
Khristine C.

Wow!! I absolutely love this place! First, how cool is it that they give complimentary gyoza?! That alone deserves 2 thumbs up. But then you add the food, service, atmosphere.... The entire experience deserves a high five! The restaurant is located in a small strip mall with plenty of parking. The interior is decorated with cherry blossoms and is very inviting. We didn't have to wait long for a table, thank goodness. We sat near the sushi bar which was great because we were able to interact with the chefs. We ordered 2 rolls, Hana sake, and the nigiri mix with uni. Everything was delicious. I would definitely come back if I was in the area and craving sushi!

Chicken Ramen

My 9-year old kid says: "It was AMAZING! I feel like Naruto!!!" We will definitely come back again! Vibe was great! Ambience was spot on! Staff were attentive and service is great! And the food, Delicious!!! Overall, great experience here.

lunch combo with tonkatsu and salmon avocado roll
Angela D.

stopped by here for a quick lunch after visiting Sports Basement in the same plaza. Miso soup the moment ur sat. The lunch combo is extremely worth the price coming in at $14 (or $15 if u want the tonkatsu). I got the lunch combo with salmon avocado roll + tonkatsu (for the extra dollar)!! I also got a Jenny roll which was amazing as well!! The salmon in everything tasted like quality!! Very silky and smooth texture :) My partner and I also got some fried gyozas on the house which was a very pleasant surprise!! The gyoza sauce was delicious as well. My only negatives is that My partner got the beef teriyaki and the beef itself...how i describe it... its not the beef teriyaki we are used to...its like a really flat piece of steak beef(?). The katsu sauce was really really concentrated as well. Service was great!! We were constantly being checked in on by the waiters and waitresses. They played music in the background and everything was decorated for the holidays which was a really fun vibe. Give it 5 stars bc it was such a pleasant experience but if I could the honest rating would be closer to 4.5 bc the beef teriyaki really threw me off

Edamame, gyozas, and sake sashimi, assorted sashimi appetizer.
Apple O.

Tucked away in a little plaza is this very cute sushi spot! (Right next to Kinders) we were greeted and sat immediately but we did notice it got packed very quickly with large groups and families (on a Sunday). Our waitress was very pleasant and she even spoke Japanese w my friend ! The sake sashimi was fresh and delicious! The portions were healthy and they didn't skimp on anything!! I enjoyed the complimentary Miso soup and hot tea!! And later the gyozas were brought to us compliments of the chef!!! The asahi beer was also served very super cold which hit the spot on a warm day!!! The decor was light and welcoming and I'd definitely come again!!

First time here

Personally not a fan. Large menu of too many different items is usually a big red flag for me. Usually means they can't do anything really well. Very loud music inside. Nothing stood out. Heavy on the sauces on the sushi. Imitation crab in the sushi. Wait is oddly long even on the waitlist. Free miso soup and gyoza. Ramen was overrated, meat was thin and the spicy was just a lot of chili oil. Had a lot of family's here. I went to Japan last year and still haven't found comparable quality.

Fresh wasabi options
Paige N.

Welcoming service with cute decor and an expansive menu. Went for lunch with a friend and ordered the lunch nigiri mix to try an assortment of fish, and friend got a specialty roll. The portions were great and we got gyoza on the house for spending a certain amount. Definitely try their fresh wasabi! It's extra but worth it.

Chicken Teriyaki Lunch Bento Box
esperanza m.

This might be a new favorite. Decided to check this place out after a massage nearby and I was already impressed by the decorations. It looked a lot more lively than another place we were considering going to. We were seated right away and treated with kindness and respect the whole time. They even gave us gyoza on the house which made my whole day, especially given that I had a rough start to the morning. We both ordered bento boxes that included two pieces of California roll, rice, salad, and I ordered chicken teriyaki and spicy tuna. I also ordered some jalapeño appetizers. They were so good and worth the extra wait! I texted a few people while we were there to check this place out.

This is a wonderful Japanese restaurant. I've come here many times, delicious sushi, fresh fish and big portions, very clean place, great ambience, super nice servers and prompt service. Very good food! I've recently gotten a to go order from here - unagi don and their portion here is much larger than other places and it also came with seaweed salad that's an added bonus because I love that salad!

Anika K.

It was good! Made a reservation and sat right away. Gave us a free appetizer which was super nice. I liked my roll! Can get a little loud and busy.

The portion size you get with the meal was a lot of food the dinner meal was $18.00 but if you go for lunch that same meal is only $14.00 which is an amazing deal.

Such a good time and the waitress staff was fantastic! Great personalities, very attentive, knew the menu inside and out. Great time - and a fair price for sushi! Some opinions of what we had.... Miso soup...very mild, light fish flavors, served nicely warm but not piping hot.  Pan fried gyoza.... tender, light, airy, smooth, great appetizer.  Unagi....a little dry, mild flavor, add a pinch of wasabi and it really pops. Solid product. Rainbow roll.... clean, light, nice and creamy, mild flavors. Delicious. Lucky roll.... our son wouldn't let me try it but he said it was good and delicious. Double hamachi....Great fresh fish, nicely made, easy to eat, adding an extra pop of wasabi erupted the flavors.

Told they'd be ready in five minutes which I thought was interesting. I arrived 15 minutes after placing the order, The place was empty- it was around 4PM on a weekday. No welcome in or hello from staff, I was asked "pick up?" And said yes and provided my name. I was informed they were still preparing my order-GOOD. I would've been concerned if it was ready in less time. I handed my payment card to the host, she struggled with inserting the card into the square device, as well as holding the chip over the device as well. After about 3 minutes she figured it out. I was handed my receipt to fill out. She watched as I filled in the respected lines. I did not leave a tip - as it was a up order, and service thus far was not to par. I waited for my order... 8 minutes later it was ready. Before leaving I checked the bag, order correct, but lacking my preference of soy sauce. I asked the host for more she came back with ONE packet, and tossed it in the bag I was holding. I said out loud "oh just one?" Then asked the sushi chef if they had little to go containers for soy sauce and if I could get one of those. He said yes and instructed the host to fill one for me. She did, came out and handed it to me with what I interpreted was an annoyed look. I said thank you and left. Fascinating to say the least. I guess I was asking for too much. Sushi was decent. Hit the spot. But have had better.

Came here for an early dinner on a Sunday. It was Mother's Day so I made sure to make reservations…read morejust in case but it was fine. Was able to get a table with no issues. Parking was a bit tricky as they had some sort of event and a lot of the streets were closed off so I had to drive around a bunch of times. Luckily I came earlier than my reservation time. It was pretty nice weather out so I opted for a table outside but the ambiance is nice inside. Dim setting if you want to sit inside. I ordered a spicy pineapple margarita for my drink but it tasted like it didn't have any alcohol in it so that was a bummer so I didn't really want to order any other drink. I ordered the spicy edamame for appetizer, but it wasn't spicy and lacked a little in flavor/seasoning. I still ate it as I needed some sort of vegetables. For my food, I ordered my favorite salmon melt! This is a must order when you come. Always a hit! (I dipped my edamame in the sauce and it added great flavor to it lol) They had a Mother's Day special for handrolls and I was tempted to try it but didn't want to be super full, so I got two nigiri's instead; one hamachi and one spicy scallop. Both were so good! I would definitely order it again. Hamachi was fresh and soft. Easy to chew. Spicy scallop was made with a spicy mayo and cut up into pieces. Both were really good portion sizes. I was full but wanted to order more cause they were so good. I was offered the dessert menu but I was full so I didn't order any. Love coming to Sasa. Great service, great food and nice restaurant. If you get a chance, definitely check them out!

I was working in the area and I had a co-worker informed me of a japanese sushi restaurant nearby…read morethat he liked. Looking at Yelp, this was the one within walking distance which I presumed he was referring to. I ordered online, so I was able to quickly grab my meal and head back to my work location to eat inside. Inari Nigiri: I always enjoy me an Inari, and this location was pretty good. A big piece of tofu skin and a fair amount of rice complemented each other well. My only critique is I wished it was a bit more "vingeary" like flavor. I know I tasted the sauce there, but I wish it was a tab bit more noticeable. Chicken Teriyaki and Tempura Lunch Combo: This is so much food for a lunch combo. I honestly was able to make two servings out of this. The edamame beans are a nice appetizer to start and the salad had a very delicious dressing. The teriyaki chicken was as expected and the sauce was not overtly sweet. The tempura was also fried to crispy perfection for me and they gave you ample amount of vegetables and two pieces of ebi shirmp. Overall, I had a good time here and I would love to come back again.
