★★★★★ 5.0 Aika Cardin · Feb 2026

Tanoshi Bistro has quickly become my favorite go-to sushi spot since opening in Walnut Creek! The sushi is always fresh and delicious, and it’s such a fun place to enjoy a meal with friends or grab takeout. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. It does get quite busy during weekend dinners, so I highly recommend making a reservation!

★★★★★ 5.0 Sara Parson · Dec 2025

Tanoshi Japanese is such a great hidden gem in Walnut Creek. The sushi is incredibly fresh, the rolls are beautifully prepared, and everything tastes high quality. You can really tell they care about both flavor and presentation. The menu has a great mix of classic favorites and more creative rolls, and everything we tried was consistently delicious. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, making it perfect for a relaxed dinner or a nice date night. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Easily one of the best sushi spots in Walnut Creek — highly recommend.

Great variety of Japanese cruisine. They have a safe system to take care of my food allergy grandson. I improve my rating because they did well in handling for reheating the baked scallops and salmon collar from near raw to medium rare.

★★★★★ 5.0 Donnelly West · Sep 2025

We had an incredible, delicious dinner here! The flavors they put together are very impressive, including some of the most well thought out veggie sushi I've ever had! The staff are attentive and kind plus the rolls were made very quickly. The garlic edamame started us off in the right direction with a beautiful melody of sesame, spice, and warmth. This may be our new favorite sushi place in the area!

★★★★★ 5.0 Joanne Yuen · Apr 2025

Very good sushi spot for both rolls and nigiri located in Walnut Creek. Tanoshi is a newer restaurant, and my friends and I were surprised to see how clean and modern it looked inside. They had a huge array of dishes and we enjoyed everything very much, including their nigiri selection which was pretty fresh for a sushi roll joint. Highly recommend trying their baked scallop appetizer! Would recommend making a reservation as it was surprisingly busy for an early dinner on a Thursday evening.
