Editorial review from eat24hours.com 11/20/2010

I have tried many sushi places in California, I can say for sure that this place is one of the bests; I placed the order and it came on-time; food had a great quality, was fresh and it was prepared very well; I really recommend this place, if you havenÂ?Â?t try it, give it a try and you will love it's food. Thanks for the delicious food and wonderful service. more

Poor customer service 1/31/2010

I am not sure what the problem is here but I gave this place 3 tries. It not racism because there are tons of reviews on Yelp of the same kind of customer disservice that I got. The first time they were sort of nice but I was with someone else. The second time I was on my own and the service would be best described as politely hostile. The third time they refused to serve me at all. NEVER again. Why three tries? The food is good, that's why. more

Miraku has very good authentic Japanese food !!! 9/12/2009

Food and atmosphere are very good, clean and great sushi and sashimi and bento boxes. There's a coy pond inside. The ladies wear typical Japanese kimono, shawamushi is good ! Udon very good, pretty much everything is good, a little pricey but conveniently located and very clean. more

Miraku is ok 7/2/2009

Nice decor and location. The sushi was ok and I've had better at other locations like House of Sake. That being said I could go back if pressed I suppose. more

Lovely food and atmosphere. 12/31/2008

Our family has been coming here for years. The food and service is consistent and the atmosphere is quite pleasant. We particularly like the Chawan Mushi. Pros: Nice atmosphere, kimonoed Japanese waitresses, high quality food Cons: Menu has not changed for years more

a nice place 12/15/2008

I've been here several times. It has a really nice atmosphere -- the decorations are very interesting, fusion of Asian and American cultures. seem to change depending on all the season. The food is very good, and relatively low price. I would never go to again. Nice atmosphere, the wait staff are very friendly. Good place for a business lunch. more

Alright 11/15/2008

This is an elegant, simple Japanese restaurant with consistently good, traditional Japanese food. As with most places, the quality is dependent on the freshness, and I've never eaten sashimi here that's anything less than perfect. more

Best Deal for Authentic Japanese Food 10/1/2008

""I just had my first meal at Miraku. It was outstanding! I had Yaki Gyoza, Seaweed Salad and Tempura. The food was fresh, tasty, elegantly presented and served, and very reasonably priced. I lived in the Far East for 10 years, including 3 years in Japan and Miraku's food and decor is, in my opinion, quite authentic. I have spent a LOT more money for food substantially inferior to Miraku. I didn't sample the Sushi or Sake, but will do so on my next visit, which will be soon!"" Pros: Ambience, food, authenticity more

Nice place 9/26/2008

I have been to Miraku often because my boss likes to give gift certificates to the staff for Miraku. It is conveniently located in Walnut Creek across from Toyota, so you can have your car serviced until midnight and eat dinner. The atmosphere is authentic Japanese. If you are adventerous, order the Kaiseki dinner, which is many courses of small items. If you don't like fish, there is Chicken Teriyaki, and the tempura is delicious. \r \r The only unpleasant experience I have consistently had there is that the owner does not understand that the law in CA for gift certificates is that they cannot expire if they are for a specific dollar amount. My boss usually gives me a $100 gift certificate, we use $80 for the meal, and she gives me back my "change" in another gift certificate with a 30 day expiration date. That is illegal, but I don't argue anymore, because it makes it awkward for my guests. I just throw it away and come back next year with the new certificate. She also won't let more

Not too Shabby 10/18/2007

It was a quaint little spot. Service was ok - food pretty good. I am partial to House of Sake in that the staff is much more friendly and the menu is much more clear and elaborate. The ambience at Miraku is a bit different than House of Sake - more booth space I believe. \r \r Parking is a hassle here - like most WC locations. However most of their parking is street parking which always poses more of a problem than a lot that fills up (like House of Sake) Pros: Location Cons: Parking and slow service. more

Looking for great sushi is hard but I was able to find what I was looking for in Miraku. Gracious service, delicious food, & a relaxing atmosphere is commonplace. If you want great sushi at a reasonable price, Miraku is the place. Pros: Service, Taste more

Found my new Japanese Spot 3/24/2005

Our quest is over...fresh fish and very reasonable priced. Was packed on a Sat PM. The front of the house staff seemed crazy busy but we had good service once we were seated. The decor was nice Japanese without being over the top. Very mixed crowd. My sushi was delish and my husbands beef teryaki was super tender (make sure you get a side of the tasty teriyaki sauce). Just be prepared to wait on a Saturday night if you get there at prime dining hours (7/8). Pros: fresh fish, reasonable prices Cons: waiting in line more

Good Sushi, Bad Lip Readers 11/11/2002

i've been to miraku twice and both times i've been pleased with the sushi. it's not the best sushi in the east bay, but manages to be the best in walnut creek. the 911 roll isn't as fearsome as it's name, but still offers a mild kick. the fish is fresh and the prices were on par with most other sushi places. you'll want to bring an ear horn to give to the waittress though. apparently, the customer is not right and i managed to order ""some hamachi, some hamachi, some hamachi and some hamachi"". if you're looking for good sushi in the WC, miraku is a good bet. just make sure you bring a megaphone while ordering. Pros: decent Cons: bad service more
