   I used to get really fresh sashimi when I lived in Hong Kong. Ever since I moved to the US, it is find the same grade of sushi here. The sashimi I tried last night was super fresh and the service was amazing. I would definitely come back next time when I’m in town.

   What a great surprise to find this terrific sushi restaurant in Carmel by the Sea. Food was amazing creative and fresh. Incredible sake menu. Jake our server was exactly the kind of server you always want but never find. If you want great sushi run to Toro.

    The food was nothing special. The service was one of the worst. The sushi chefs had AirPods in their ears and they seemed to be in no hurry to get sushi prepared. Our server took 15 minutes to get to our table and another 15 to just get water to our table. Then after appetizers, she disappeared for 20 minutes and we had to ask another server to go find her. She forgot an item on our order, she almost spilled soy sauce on one of the diners at the table. It was not a relaxing nor enjoyable dinner on our vacation. We will not be returning on our next trip to Carmel.

    We always get the Spicy Edamame, the chicken & pork Gyzoz for starters. We have had the Specialty Rolls-Jalapeno Popper, the Carmel & Spicy Tuna. The Classic Rolls-Shortt's Crunch (less Salmon skin) & Dragon. They are all great. The staff is super friendly & assertive.

    Great spot for early evening dinner with friends when visiting Carmel. Located not far off the main drag in the charming historical hood, within walking distance from the countless hotels/motor court lodges. We were able to sit outside with our dogs, a big bonus for us. (They immediately brought bright copper water dishes and a pup menu. We will try their house made dinners for the dogs next visit!) We started with some beers and an order of tempura veggies and shrimp. Crispy, crunchy without the usual oiliness and a tasty ponzu dipping sauce. Moved on to miso soups and salad. Aside

    I came here with my husband, and this was the best sushi we have ever had. We have been to Toro multiple times, because we just can't stay away! My husband and I are vegetarian, and were thrilled to see so many vegetarian options on their menu. And they were all fantastic. We have also brought family here with us, who do eat fish/meat and they loved Toro as much as we did! Highly recommend for anyone in Carmel!

    We were served warm sushi. Other tables got more attention then we did. Server probably made about 3 total rounds with us while other tables got multiple. Based on ratings, we thought it would be good but just like other places in Monterey area, the authenticity of the food was down (as in made for White populations).

    We ate lunch outside. The food, when we finally got it, was good. The atmosphere was pleasant. All the tables were occupied and people were waiting for one the entire time we were there. Even though we were outside it was very noisy. Despite all that, this is the best Japanese restaurant around so we will be back.

    I don’t think I’ll be back. I made a reservation on open table. Got a confirmation email and confirmation text. Then I get a call from the restaurant at 4pm the day of my reservation saying they overbooked and can’t take us at our reservation time even though I had confirmed twice. They said we could come at 5:15 or 8:15, our reservation was at 7. Not acceptable. So I booked for the same time the next night and changed all of our plans to accommodate the restaurant, not the other way around. I was underwhelmed. They had 10 people working there but they seemed more interested in eating and drinking alcohol at the bar than tending g to their paying guests. The food was good but they were out of a lot of things, which I understand just tell us before we order what isn’t available. It was just not great and there are so many amazing restaurants in Carmel I don’t feel the need to go back.

    The two starters were very good, but the unagi nigiri and the roll with unagi were disappointing - the eel was a bit dry and served with just a dash of eel sauce instead of the laquered eel we have been served elsewhere. For the main entree we chose the hamachi collar. The collar itself was fine, but it was served on a bed overcooked, dry rice which did not compliment the fish.

    Perfect combination of service, food, drink, and relaxation. My server Jake provided a great welcome and made sure I knew all that was available, I enjoyed an awesome Saki flight, presented by Alex who explained every detail of the 5 different types, Salmon Carpaccio, some Ebi and Unagi Nigiri, Chicken Katsu, and ended with an awesome desert. Be sure to buy the kitchen a round of Saki shots!
