Last week I noted that Oyama Sushi would be opening soon on N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek and they are now open. Check out the photos below for an inside look. Their menu can be found here. The menu will be very similar to what is offered in their Lafayette location.

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.

Yesterday I noted that Jalisco Gourmet Burrito closed in Walnut Creek which got me thinking about Mexican restaurants. El Jarro is a favorite of mine in Lafayette, Orinda has Maya and Barbacoa, and Walnut Creek has Taqueria Mexican Grill and Maria Maria. So for today’s Friday Question of the Day, what is your favorite Mexican restaurant?

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.
