    There’s only one word to describe Toro sushi. Excellent! Anyone who says otherwise does not know what they’re talking about.

    The chicken katsu was crispy and had a nice spicy kick. It was an all-fried dinner with tempura and fried tofu as appetizers! All delicious—and our server, Marty, was quick and friendly.

    We were greeted by a very nice gentleman and the hostess. They seated us at nice table with plenty of room for our little dog in a stroller. Service was excellent and the server was very nice and personable, which made for an enjoyable experience. HOWEVER, we ordered nigiri and sushi rolls, and the fish on the nigiri wasn't very fresh and the maguro had a lot of gristle. Not the best sushi. We also saw a delivery of a box of frozen shrimp tempura....so that is not a good indication.

    Toro is an awesome spot!! Welcoming & chill vibe, friendly & attentive service (Thank You James & team), fantastic wine list, and a delicious menu. Our favorite bites are their Geisha Roll, and their Piggly Wiggly Roll. We recommend Toro.

    Toro sushi is fresh, delicious and served beautifully. The cooked food is delicious as well. I had a teriyaki salmon bowl that came with rice and a salad. My table also had tempura, gyoza and miso soup and all of it was prepared well and was very tasty.

    Very disappointed in the quality of food for the price. This was basic sushi with top tier cost. The toro looked de-thawed and had no color. The wagyu was a joke. I guess it’s tourist sushi.

    We sat in the Kimono Room on my birthday. FOOD. Had 1/2 order of tempura, which was excellent and just the right amount. Also ate the big sashimi platter with a side of sushi rice. Lots of high quality sashimi but we would have been hungry if we had not ordered the sushi rice. As a birthday acknowledgement, Toro gave us some pineapple mochi -- excellent, with a subtle not overly sweet taste. ROOM. Very nice. About 4-5 tables. Once the family with the two young kids left, the room noise was moderate and enjoyable. SERVICE. FANTASTIC!!! Brad is personable and knowledgeable. You definitely should ask for him. We will go again.
