House of Sake — Restaurant in Walnut Creek

The House of Sake is tied with a lesser known spot on the Monterey Peninsula as my fave places to eat in the world EVER! And its even actually gotten better with their spicy edamame!

If you get one item there it has to be the Godzilla Roll which I usually pair with a seaweed salad, edamame and orders of Maguro & Unagi Nigiri. If I can eat more I'll order more Nigiri or their delicious Tempura. Of course those are always accompanied by a large hot Sake & a large Sapporo. So Yum! As is the cucumber & crab salad that automatically comes before the meal & the pineapple & plum wine that comes after.

This IS really THE place to go in Walnut Creek for sushi even though it's not exactly downtown, off the beaten path & next to a 711! It's a bit locals place!

I didn't know I loved sushi until I went there 24 years ago. I learned to use chopsticks there that day. Since I've had many of my most memorable times at the House of Saki - there's a perfect area in the back for bday parties and once my bff (RIP Kritter) & I got the bottle of plum wine at the end of the night and ended up tossing a foot all around with some of the staff in the parking lot after hours then walked to my condo down the street.

I lived in WC for 37 years and have since been to other sushi's places (obv) but of those 37 years I've been a very frequent patron of this place for 24 of those years. I even went there on my first "official" first date with my husband. It's a special place for many people & the food is...

My husband and I have been ordering here since we moved to walnut Creek and it has been consistently delicious! We never had A chance to dine in due to covid but when we would pick uP there was almost always a line waiting to pick up. They followed all Covid protocalls and only allowed 1-2 people in to pay and receive their order. My family and I went here on Friday afternoon for lunch as a party of 7, 1 toddler and 2 newborns. The service was great and quick! The food was very delicious and so was all the sushi. My sister is a sushi addict and highly critical of the quality and she insists on ordering here whenever she is up. This was our first time dining in and she ordered 3 rolls initially and 2 more after that. Everyone was happy with their food my 5 yo niece ate everything in her bento. The only reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is because a couple items were forgotten, which is understandable with a large party and she ordered from memory and got all special requests in, and the sake was warm/lukewarm and we like our sake HOT. Overall it was a great dine in experience and always quick, hot and delicious...

House of Sake in Walnut Creek is an absolute comfort spot with phenomenal quality sushi! Every dish we tried was a delightful experience. The Spicy Holly Roll stood out with its bold, smoky flavors and scrumptious layers—an absolute must-try. The Godzilla Roll was a petite masterpiece, with a beautifully crafted tempura shell that was perfectly crisp and evenly dispersed.

The Cherry Blossom Roll was another highlight, boasting a clean, fresh flavor and a stunning presentation that was almost too pretty to eat. We also enjoyed the Negihama Cut Roll (yellowtail and green onion) and the New Orleans Roll (spicy tuna cut roll)—both incredibly fresh and satisfying. The creative names for these simple yet perfectly executed rolls added a fun touch to the meal.

Every bite hit the spot, and the attention to detail in both flavor and presentation is second to none. Highly recommend House of Sake for anyone seeking exceptional sushi and a memorable...
