1511 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Walnut Creek
Last year I wrote about possibly the most amazing part of downtown Walnut Creek, the secret koi garden behind Va de Vi on Mt. Diablo Blvd, and now the restaurant has a new, smaller koi pond similar to the koi pond next to Sasa on N. Main St. Also note the wine barrel menu display, looks great.
If you haven’t been to the koi pond in back you need to go, it’s incredible! The koi are HUGE and it’s very serene back there. While we were watching the koi swim around, numerous people wandered by and were amazed by what they saw.

Nob Hill shopping center
Thanks to a reader for sending word that Jalisco Gourmet Burritos has closed in the Nob Hill shopping center in Walnut Creek at the corner of Ygnacio Valley Rd. and Oak Grove Rd. Anyone ever eat here? How would you rate it?
A couple of weeks ago I noted that the fashion accessories store Bracchiale would be relocating within Broadway Plaza and they are now open. Be aware that this section of Broadway Plaza looks like it will be closing in January so this is a short-lived move.
1519 N. Main St, Walnut Creek
Back in July I noted that Lafayette-based Oyama Sushi was coming to Walnut Creek and it looks like the opening is not far away as the inside looks almost finished judging from the below photo.
The women’s fashion boutique Alina B is leaving Broadway Plaza by January and is looking for a new location under 1000 square feet so if anyone knows a spot for them please contact them. Their Facebook page is here. Also, everything in their store is currently 20% off.
