Toyo Sushi

Was in Walnut Creek and really wanted Japanese so looked up yelp reviews in the area. Thanks Yelpers for your lovely reviews and helping me find my new favorite Japanese place in WC. To start, we ordered the garlic edamame. And for a $1 more, it is worth it to ask for garlic. The sauce is amazing and tasty and so umami.

We ordered two bento boxes- one with mixed tempura and beef teriyaki and the other with mixed tempura and chicken teriyaki. First of all, the portions are huge. The tempura was breaded nicely and not too greasy. It came with two shrimp and a mixture of veggies. The chicken and beef teriyaki were both tender and not over cooked. I asked for no rice so they gave me extra edamame which I then mixed in with our appetizer garlic edamame because you know, SAUCE!

Service was ok, ambience was casual, refershingly unchanged with such a hip "Whole Foods" vibe right outside its doors. Totally recommend for traditional yummy Japanese!

Wow, this place is a hidden gem! Huge portions. Fresh fish and affordable prices!
Came here for dinner 45 minutes before closing. Lots of staff and fast service.
High recommended!

My family and I went here for lunch because of the yelp reviews. We were seated immediately and the service was friendly.

We ordered lunch specials as well as the bento box and also some rolls. The rolls were huge, PLENTY of rice. So there you go.

The lunch special/bento box however were very disappointing. Very small servings, and for the price? It is not worth it.

Also not once did they check in on us if we needed anything. We left feeling hungry and dissatisfied with our meals. The prices were higher, I guess since it's in Walnut Creek. I don't mind paying more as long as the food is delicious. I had the saba shioyaki while my family ordered the beef teriyaki lunch (maybe 5 pcs?) and the rolls.

Also I saw the lady who was getting the ginger ready grab it with her own hands, no gloves or fork used, it felt weird to me.

Anyways I would not be back, it was forgettable. We really wanted to like this place.

This sushi spot seems to be a great family-run business!

They accommodated our party of 7 (my friends and I wanted sushi after our hike up Mt. Diablo) with no issue and with friendly service too. I personally ordered the yakitori and the Ghost Special roll from their Chef Special menu. My partner and friends ordered a bunch of different things from the Double Salmon Roll, the Dinner combos (tempura, salmon, and chicken katsu) and some soft shell crab. We all enjoyed our food very much!

I loved the smoky, grilled flavor of the yakitori with their sauce! It was so tasty I could just eat a bunch of those for dinner and be happy... The Ghost Special was also good but it had a bit too much sweet sauce on top. I found myself using a lot of soy sauce (I don't normally do that) to counteract the sweetness a little. I also wished they added more spicy scallops because I could mostly taste the imitation crab. I tried the other things my friends ordered too, like the katsu and tempura. Both of these dishes were fried to perfection. The tempura had such a fluffy, crisp batter and the selection of tempura options was great.

The fish isn't the freshest I've tasted but not bad either; I would say that if you're looking for decent sushi on a budget, this would be your spot. Thank you Toyo for a nice dinner :)

This is my favorite go-to for sushi and bento box. Friendly staff with a sushi bar and small quaint dining area. Ladies are quick to take your order and are attentive. Fish is fresh. Sushi, sashimi and nigiri are priced just right. The rolls are big, filling and shareable. My favorite is the Sexy Beach roll - tempura, spicy tuna wrapped in soy paper with a special sauce.
Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and want good Japanese food and sushi.

WTF FOOD FOR DAYS LOL. The sushi quality is ok compared to other spots, but you're really coming here for the massive portions.

We called in our order for dinner and it was ready within 30 mins for pickup. While I didn't dine in, the restaurant seemed pretty humble, clean, and cozy from what I saw during pickup. The staff are courteous and speak Mandarin.

HAMACHI KAMA: More charred than I would like but the inside meat is still nice and savory. A little dry...! But the sauce saves it. I think it's ponzu? Fairly tangy and sweet.

JENNY'S ROLL: Surprisingly, the unagi flavor isn't super prominent. I feel like this tastes like a California roll with salmon on top. The roll is super thiccccc and the fish is cut generously

MAXI ROLL: Also very chonky, even bigger than the last. You can barely taste the tempura beneath the sauce and tobiko. Still delicious & extremely filling.

The fish doesn't taste SUPER fresh but also doesn't taste frozen. It's good budget sushi. I wish they had more roll diversity, bc it seems like almost all of them have spicy tuna or tempura in them lol.

Ordered an array of nigiri a few days ago and was very disappointed with the poor quality of their fish. They were definitely not fresh, chewy and that left a fishy aftertaste. My family has been going here ever since they opened and have noticed a decline in quality. I hope they could turn things around soon.

I was craving hamachi Kama so I headed to Toyo sushi. It was a great spot to eat with my brothers and we all enjoyed it. I am not a huge fan of their style of sushi roll, which is pretty heavy on rice and is also cut really thick. The flavor would be more pronounced if the pieces were cut a bit thinner. The hamachi Kama was amazing though and hit the spot. Each box lunch comes with a miso soup which is a great appetizer! The prices are not bad for a quality sushi place.

It's taken me a long while to write a review here. My goal is to try almost every item on the menu. The facility is small, it has a hole in the wall feel, without being an actual hole in the wall. I have some complaints about the cleanliness of the place but the quantity plus quality is very, very equal.

Some days are hit or miss. The quality and size of the rolls fluctuate depending on the time of week (it seems). All in all, I still choose this place hand over fist. It scratches the itch without burning the bank. I'm torn on giving five stars because it really is 5/5 for what they have to offer but I unfortunately am giving 4 because the place needs some janitorial services from time to time. I've stopped eating in the restaurant for this reason. I can only hope the food is more clean than the facility

Food is great, different variety and selections, size of serving is decent, friendly wait staff.

Only thing is they automatically charge you a fee for a bag to carry take out, this hits a sore spot, most restaurants do not do that.

Had a lovely experience here! My friend and I were looking for a late dinner and stopped in about an hour before closing. Staff was nice and welcoming, lots of take out orders were picked up while we were the only diners at that time. The food was delicious! Fresh and flavorful. Can't wait to go back!
