Would never ever dine here!

by allyucan

I would never dine here. This is definitely my worst take-out experience and I'm not the type of people who complains about everything in life. I ordered a Tori (chicken noodles). On the menu it gives you several choices of noodles but I wasn't asked what type of noodles I wanted but I had only realized that after I made the order. Then I was overcharged. The price on the menu was $7.95, and she charged me $8.96, that's a lot more than 9.25% taxes in Walnut Creek. I didn't dispute it since it was a small amount and besides thought I could help this poor family restaurant out since they only had two guests dining in at prime lunch time - 1p.m! I waited for about 10 minutes, the waitress brought out my lunch, which came in a styrofoam container that looks like one of the supersize drink cups you get from a gas station, in a clear plastic bag and nothing else. I was thinking, are you serious? Is she gonna put it in another bag, maybe one with a handle, since there is boiling hot soup in it? No, she just handed it to me like that. There's another thing, the bag is clearly a used one because it was stained. So, ok, I didn't complain. I guess they're really trying to save. I couldn't really hold the cup upward while I was driving because it was hot and of course it topped over when I made a turn. The soup came spilling all over on my car floor. There were holes in the plastic bag! I opened the bag and the lid was broken, and it was not tightly closed. What a disaster. The noodles were completely soggy because they didn't separate the noodles from the soup.

• Cons: bad service

GREAT PLACE

by Sachikosan777

I used to work there, and I am telling you, ITS EXCELLENT!!!

The owner, Andy and his wife put so much effort in offering the best quality Japanese food and the Japanese chef is very detail-oriented and really knows how to prepare delicious food.

Almost every time I worked there, they would prepare me a roll to go, and it always tasted so great!! You should really count on me, because I am Japanese grew up in Japan, and not many restaurants in the bay area amazes me. Sakana Sushi really has the fresh sushi and dishes with authentic tastes.

• Pros: BEST CHEFF, REASONABLE PRICE
• Cons: NOT SO GOOD FOR GROUPS LARGERS THAN 6

All You Can Sushi!

by ScubaGirl15

Since moving to Walnut Creek in October, I have been on a hunt for the best sushi. I have found it at Sakana. Yes, its in a strip mall, but if you are tired of driving around downtown, looking for a parking place, then you will appreciate the ample parking.

The real reason to come here is the all you can eat sushi dinner. Monday thru Thursday, this place serves all you can eat sushi rolls and nigiri for 20 bucks. This includes soup, salad, edamame and tempura, which are all excellent. I have been skipping the appetizers so I can concentrate on the fish! Such a deal! Try it, for 20 bucks, you can't go wrong!!!

• Pros: All you can eat Sushi!
• Cons: Strip Mall, service can be slow
