1552 Locust St, Walnut Creek
In August we learned that the Japanese restaurant Izakaya Jun closed in downtown Walnut Creek, with a replacement coming “one month later”. The new restaurant will be called Kurumi Sushi & Grill, opening the following week, and will serve very similar dishes that were available at the previous restaurant. That’s because the new owner was a chef at Izakaya Jun. I have confirmed that yaki onigiri (grilled rice balls) will still be available which means I’ll be back for sure.
