I typically don't really go for ramen from Japanese restaurants that don't specialize in it, but I was kinda desperate when I came across Tatsu Sushi. And their offering of spicy tonkotsu ramen sounded so good, sooo I decided to get that. I ordered it online and arrived at the 'promised' time for my order to be ready, but I ended up having to wait another 10-15 minutes at the restaurant, which wasn't ideal :( However, I have to say that I was really happy with the ramen. I also really loved how they packaged the ramen for takeout. They separated the broth from the spicy sauce and from the noodles along with all of the toppings, which I really appreciated. The noodles were nothing to write home about because they felt and tasted just like regular egg noodles that you could get from an Asian grocery store and boil at home. However, I thought the pork bone broth was really good. The broth was really creamy and thick, and it had a really great flavor. As for the toppings, I loved the inclusion of corn, bamboo shoots, green onions, and wood ear mushrooms, but what really sold the whole thing for me was the pork chashu slices!! I saw very prominent grill marks on the pork slices and was honestly skeptical at first, not knowing for sure whether or not they were real grill marks. But upon tasting them, I could really taste the char flavor, which I really enjoyed! I also thought the spicy sauce was really amazing. It wasn't just chili oil or anything like that. Instead, it was more like a thick spicy miso paste, which was so perfect to dilute and combine with the broth. Overall, I thought it was really tasty. I would definitely get this again in the future. read more

DISAPPOINTED!!! After the new owners took over I can instantly see the differencell in portions and quality. I thought to give them another try and I'm regretting it BIG time!!! I spend $46+ on a to go order for 4 pieces of over steamed soggy tasteless fried tofu $9 and 4 orders of Nigiri sushi. The mackerel and unagi was small pieces. I will NVR order from there ever again, WASTE of my hard earned $$. I love Tanoshi which is on Oak Grove Rd and MUCH better portions and quality. Toyo sushi is good too but not great like Tanoshi. Good riddance Tatsu !!! read more

Tatsu Sushi - Mackerel & unagi small pathetic pieces. - Japanese Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

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. read more

After visiting the Ruth Bancroft Garden came here for lunch. It did not disappoint. The service was great, they were just opening. I was seated right away and shortly after the server brought miso soup and water. My order came quick as well. There's plenty of table seating. In addition, there's bar seating. I ordered their lunch combo, chicken teriyaki, salmon/avocado roll. It also came with salad, two California rolls, and rice. I left full. read more

Tatsu Sushi - Inside decor - Japanese Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I have been here a couple times now, once for take-out and once for dining in. Both times have been good. The staff is friendly but service can be a bit slow. The first time I did take-out and ordered a bento box for lunch. It was a bit pricey for lunch and the only vegetable sushi options were pretty bland (i.e. avocado only roll) so I bought another one from their menu. The second time I went with my sister and we sat inside and ate. We got ramen this time and I got the spicy one and it was good but would get just regular next time as the spicy didn't add that much to it. I do appreciate that they have no fish in their ramen as I'm allergic! Overall, it's a good option with a large parking lot and close to my home so I know I will be back read more

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 read more

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! read more

Tatsu has disappointed me over and over. I can say I'm done giving it chances and I won't be coming anymore. If you are getting take out, expect to wait 45 minutes even when the restaurant is not busy. They seem to prioritize dine in. I didn't see the note on the confirmation but I think it is a good head up if it is noted before ordering. Not everyone wants to wait 45 minutes for their food. Also, when my order was done, I unknowingly was still waiting for my order until an employee came up to ask me about my order 5-10 minutes later. Now for the food. 2/5 for sure. My eel nigiri was ALLL bones. I couldn't even eat it. Quality definitely is not what it used to be. Good bye Tatsu! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Tatsu Sushi - Gyoza sauce, mostly empty. - Japanese Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

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 read more

Tatsu Sushi - Chicken Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

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. read more

I really enjoyed this place! Really cute interior with some cool decor, the staff were very friendly and attentive, and the sushi was really good. Complimentary fried gyoza, they immediately bring miso soup to the table as they seat you, and the Sapporo was perfectly chilled. We ordered the big daddy roll and I can confirm, it is the largest sushi roll I have ever had, almost like I was eating a cut up sushi burrito! I don't usually order tempura fried sushi and was pleasantly surprised how fresh and light the tempura was. Will definitely be coming here again read more

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.

Not sure what the attraction to this place is. Long wait to order, long wait for food even though it was early and half empty. 9 pc. Nigiri, California roll with real crab, and, thankfully Cherry Blossom roll which was the best part of the meal. Half the Nigiri was warm and extremely fishy, not to mention small portions of fish. Would not return or reccomend. read more

One of my favorite sushi spots! The food is consistently delicious and the staff is always friendly. I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints!

omg where do i start?? our experience at tatsu sushi was awesome!! while their items are on the pricier side, we understood why once they were served. first of of all, both miso soup AND gyoza are served on the house which i have never experienced before (only miso). they're served hot & make such delicious appetizers. the tonkatsu ramen--ordered by my boyfriend--was pretty big for only $15! as for the rolls, they were HUGE and so generously made!! the slices of fish on the nigiri were also very thick and buttery. i cannot describe how good everything tasted. everything was so fresh and strong in flavor. their crab mix is a little mayo-heavy, just to note. as for service, everyone was so warm and friendly. we arrived 45 minutes before closing, so we expected a fast-paced experience. but the employees were more than happy to serve us which we appreciated. they anticipated our every need without us having to ask, such as refills on water and extra napkins. it's the little things that truly matter. the ambiance was great! it was quiet, the music wasn't too loud, and the decor was just gorgeous. it was clean and spacious inside. this is such a hidden gem. we are so stoked to return!! read more

We had a reservation for a party 8. The table was ready and the ushered that direction. We sat ourselves. Got our own menu's after waiting a bit. It however was pretty busy. Once we were acknowledged and service started, they were speedy and polite. The menu has tons of options and all look pretty fantastic. They provided a few plates of potstickers on the house. All in all the rolls and food were pretty good. The ambiance is cute. Small and quant. I'd absolutely come back again and try some other rolls that looked awesome. read more

Favorite sushi spot in the bay! The quality is still high, service is polite and ambiance is comfortable. The 49ers roll is my favorite and the fish is super fresh. The rolls are generally large in portion. The staff are always generous with on the house edamame and gyoza. I also enjoy having a bottle of tap water for the table. This place is super popular so make sure to come when they open or use their waitlist. Also greatly appreciate their healthcare discount! Highly recommend read more

Negitoro handroll excellent. Finished off with spicy tonkatsu ramen. Amazing.

Went back to Tatsu Sushi after stopped coming to this place for months only because the Korean lady was very rude. I said maybe she doesn't work there anymore. She was not there today alright but found out she's the wife of the owner. ‍. One of the staff members was very nice to me and was very apologetic with what happened. It was my first time to order their lunch special and it was a lot. I brought home more than half of my order. Portion was very generous at $15.50. Pork Katsu, Chicken Teriyaki, rice, salad, 2 pcs of CA roll and miso soup. Adriano was my young server and he was awesome. read more

Walking into Tats Sushi felt like stepping right into the pages of an anime book--vibrant, artistic, and full of personality. The atmosphere is nothing short of stunning, with creative art pieces adorning the walls that make the entire experience feel magical and immersive. As first-timers, we were greeted with warmth and guided by an incredible server who offered thoughtful recommendations. Out of the three rolls he suggested, we tried two--and they did not disappoint. We ended up ordering four rolls and a chicken katsu. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated, but the star of the show might've been the katsu. It was massive--like they served an entire chicken! Delicious, crispy, and so satisfying, but definitely a dish best shared among four people (we tried to power through with two!). This place has quickly become a favorite, and I'll absolutely be back soon for another round. Highly recommend! read more
