I like their spider roll! It's crunchy with a hit of sweet. The location is nice. I like the outdoor seating areas. The food is pricey but it's worth it
Had lunch here and things were semi-crowded (restaurant was about 60% full). Tables were clean and the ambiance was calm/quiet. Would be a great place for a casual sushi date. Service was excellent and attentive. My waitress was the only server working there, and she did a great job keeping my water glass full and making sure I was satisfied with my meal. The food was alright for the price. I ordered the Philly and Lafayette rolls. They came out promptly and as described in the menu. Even though each roll only came with 6 pieces, they were very thick (about 2x as thick as the ones you see in grocery stores). The bites are well-proportioned and tasty. I did spontaneously order some inari (not pictured unfortunately), and it was just okay. $5 for two pieces felt kind of like highway robbery, but for a place that has to pay Lafayette rent, I'm not going to condemn them for it.
The cutest sushi spot hidden in Lafayette. I have never had poke with honey before and their Ahi Poke was amazing. It says it's served with a spicy sauce but it's very mild/the honey balances it out. The Tita roll was phenomenal!! It's sad to see the other reviews of Blue Gingko. It's definitely a smaller place so service may not be 100% 5-star but the staff is really nice and hustling to serve you. They also have one of the best wine lists I've seen compared to other sushi restaurants.
Consistently fantastic food, atmosphere, and staff, whether you choose to eat in-person or pickup your meal. My family has been going here for 5+ years and it's part of the regular rotation. The appetizers, meals, and sushi selections are all delicious. Worth noting - this is a small restaurant and they can at times get overwhelmed between in-person and pickup orders. So, either arrive a bit later or be prepared to wait a bit for takeout.
Not a bad option for sushi in Lafayette. This restaurant is run by the same people behind Sasa in Walnut Creek. This is one of your best options around Lafayette and we came on Friday at 5:30 and it was already busy. Service was friendly and the fish was decently fresh: can't expect stuff flown from Toyosu every day. Would come back again as a more casual option to Hanazen.
