Although the wait was a bit longer than expected, the time flew by! The restaurant is located inside of a market so you can shop around while you wait. The restaurant inside is very nice and clean! You order on the tablet at your table and the food arrives by the conveyer belt. We ordered the salmon party which is so fresh and flavorful, we ordered 3! We also had classics like the dragon roll, eel cream cheese, wagyu beef trio, and a surprising group favorite the seared spicy tuna cheese roll! If you are a more savory person you will definitely enjoy it as well! Overall, the service was quick, friendly, and the food was so fresh and packed with flavor for the price you pay. Will be back!

We…read morearrived right at 5:00 when they opened, excited to have what we expected would be a beautiful sushi dinner. Instead, we were made to feel rushed and, quite honestly, unwelcome. It was especially noticeable that the regulars seemed to receive an entirely different level of warmth and attention. Meanwhile, our server seemed visibly put off whenever we wanted to add something to our order, which made the experience increasingly uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the fish simply did not live up to the prices. For what we spent, we expected exceptional quality, and we left still feeling hungry. What should have been a really special experience was ultimately overshadowed by the service and the feeling that we were being treated as an inconvenience. At this price point, both the food and the hospitality should feel exceptional. Unfortunately, we left with a very bad taste in our mouth.

Chef Daniel is very personable and really engages with each of his guests to make them feel very welcome. Food wise, he serves and excellent Korean infused omakase. Of this summer menu highlights were the in season items like biwa, abalone and aji. His knife skills are excellent with precise scoring of the neta. His rice handling is also excellent with a not too densely packed shari. Overall another great omakase with excellent friendly service.

Sakae Sushi is also CASH ONLY! The menu is simple and we ordered a 10-piece and 16-piece mixed sushi boxes. You can designate what you want but I let them pick, which resulted in lots of futomaki and inari; next time I will specify what I like since I preferred the ebi and saba and would have liked to try some pieces of California roll. Nonetheless, the boxes came beautifully wrapped and their is something to be said about the simplicity of their sushi. Each piece was tasty and I appreciate quality sushi rice too. The experience was authentically Japanese for sure. Prices are not cheap but also not outrageously expensive. I think if this place has been around 64 years they know what they are doing!

I haven't been here…read moreduring dinner hours but coming in for lunch, it hasn't been overly crowded and parking isn't a problem even though the lot isn't very big. They share the lot with a ramen shop and bar so I would think parking would be challenging at night. My wife ordered a lunch special that included tempura, chicken karaage, assorted rolls, and 3 pieces of nigiri sushi that was very reasonably priced. It also comes with an egg custard, salad and miso soup. I ordered an assortment of nigiri sushi that included salmon, tuna, sea urchin, mackerel, unagi and a negi toro hand roll. The sea urchin was some of the best I've ever had. The only one that disappointed me a bit was the hand roll. It wasn't bad but didn't match the level of the other sushi I ordered. Everything else was superb and we left very satisfied. I would come back more often but my wife always wants to try new places so it takes me a while to get back to places I really enjoyed previously. Hopefully, Toshi will be an exception so I can return very soon for another round of amazing sushi.

But my instincts were right because the service was absolutely poor from the beginning, and we were the only ones in there, which made it worse. I tried to ask for suggestions, and she brushed me off and didn't provide any answers. Then, when I kindly informed her I didn't like my chicken, as you can see it doesn't look good at all, she looked down at me rudely, then back at the chef and spoke to him, then minutes begrudgingly later took the food. I was almost scared to eat the new plate as I felt like it was tampered with or something. I wished this place was better, but it definitely will not be seeing me or anyone I know again.

YUM! I mean these…read morewere not cheap, but LOOK at the portion. if I wasn't dancing the night away at Gardena Obon this night, I would've saved half for lunch the next day. I still had some leftovers, though. sashimi were thick cut pieces, needed 2 bites per piece to eat. beef teriyaki: get it. even if you JUST get this, get it. I knew something was up when my mom AND sister both ordered some kind of combo, but my sister called dibs on my mom's as soon as she said she was going to order it. this led me to ordering my own beef teriyaki combo. oyakodon was classic and hit everything just right, the cheapest of the entrees but just as filling. love it here!! will be back soon

Cute little place in the plaza with Aldi…read more I came by Monday night, and surprisingly they were almost full for dine in. I think we took the last booth and there was 1 open table for 2. I ordered the el diablo and it was a WARM? roll..., idk it didn't say that anywhere. So needless to say when I put the first piece in my mouth I was very surprised to have a hot sushi roll in my mouth. It reminded me of a chicken tender but salmon flavored ... cause it was salmon. Idk how to explain it, but it wasn't bad. I just didn't like that it was a baked roll or whatever it was. Caught me off guard. Service lagged after eating. Took a while to get someone to get the check. I like the ambiance inside, small, a little dark, but overall a "hole in a walll" for sure. I'd have to return to try different rolls for a better experience. Plenty of parking in the plaza, they have restrooms. Pretty extensive menu. I forgot to take pics my bad yall

Consistenly delicious Japanese food, worthy of 5 stars…read more Feels like a mom and pop Japanese restaurant with tasty food. It's a small eating area with a nice rustic wooden ambience--somewhat darkened with Japanese decor. It's in the Tozai Plaza immediately east of Western Ave. There are a bunch of mostly Asian restaurants in this plaza, but you can't see them easily from the nearby streets. I have eaten the Mini Katsudon Set twice, which is a pork cutlet on rice with a sweet and savory egg included. It includes Udon as well, which is also great. I've tasted the Kalbi, macaroni salad, and house salad, and all of the food is of high quality. The help are also nice, and that's where I got the Mom and Pop vibe from. They gave me a complementary macaroni salad when I picked up my takeout order.
