WOW WOW WOW amazing experience ... Liked every single thing we ordered. Zesti tuma was my fav. And can't even explain how good Toro was. We came here large group of 10 people so we ordered a lot of items from the menu. Every item was delicious. Nice atmosphere. read more

Iki Toro - Zesti tuna - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, California

So pleasantly surprised with this place. If you don't already know, Glendale is not exactly the place for sushi... I've learned that the hard way. It feels like 99% of the spots here miss the mark, so I wasn't expecting much coming in. But Iki Toro completely changed that for me. The location is great, the decor and ambiance are really nice, and the service was wonderful and attentive throughout our visit. Most importantly, the food was actually delicious. We tried a wide range of items across the menu- appetizers, sashimi, nigiri, sushi rolls, and yakitori, and there honestly wasn't a single thing we didn't enjoy. You can really tell the quality is there, which is rare for the area. Trust me when I say: try the seabass yakitori. You will thank me later. We sat inside, which was a great experience, but I can already tell sitting outside on a nice summer evening would be even better. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. * I wouldn't do the yuzu crème brûlée again, but I would absolutely get the matcha tiramisu again. read more

Came here recently for Mother's Day as I love sushi. When we arrived I was surprised to find it was the same sushi place we had visited a lot quite a few years ago. Not sure if they remodeled or if this is a new group but the inside is very upscale and modern now, a complete change from the old place. The food is also very upscale and top dollar. The menu was interestingly presented meaning I was curious to try different things. I enjoyed discovering what everything was. The specialty rolls were delicious, the skewers, especially the waygu and mushrooms were delicious! Large cocktail and mocktail menu. The only issue with this visit was the rate at which the food came out. It was really slow. We got one dish and had to wait a long while for another, even the waitress asked if we got everything toward the middle. We ordered drinks and one of the drinks didn't come out with the others. After waiting a long while we asked about it and finally got it but it was after we already ate a few dishes (Like to have the drinks out before the food comes out). The long wait wasn't on our waitress but I think the back kitchen but she also seemed to be super busy with a lot of tables. Pleasant waitress though, she did check on us a lot. I believe it was their soft opening so get that they are still figuring things out. While the food was very enjoyable, beautiful and tasty, it just needs to come out faster. Especially sushi, where some of the plates are small and get devoured immediately. Yum food, nice interior, will try again read more

Please make sure guests are given the opportunity to review and adjust the tip before the payment is finalized. I love this place, and this was my second visit. The food was amazing and everything was perfect overall. However, when the check was brought, the payment terminal was in my hands, and the waiter pressed "OK" before I had a chance to adjust the tip. She saw that I wanted to change the tip and quickly confirmed it before I could. I did not intend to leave a $133 tip, and when I asked her to correct it, she said it had already been confirmed. read more

Was in the area, hungry, and saw this was a newer spot, so we walked in to give it a try. Felt like a soft opening still. We were able to get seated right away and waters were brought to the table. Ordered the Japanese Candy Shop cocktail with cucumber and passion fruit. The cucumber really comes through, as it usually does with most things, and the passion fruit was hard to find. Still felt like a refreshing cocktail, just missing something. Appetizers, we started with the spicy tuna crispy rice and scallop crudo. The crudo was very good, the scallops tasted fresh with different textures coming together. Just a nice bite. The crispy rice was also delicious, nice crisp on the outside with soft rice inside, topped with tuna and a jalapeno. We also tried a wagyu skewer which felt underwhelming, unfortunately, but was seasoned well. Entrees consisted of two rolls. The spicy shrimp tempura roll felt like something was missing to bring it all together, while the Langostino roll was very good with flavor throughout the entire bite. Overall, newer Japanese restaurant in Glendale at the time putting out some decent dishes. Scallop Crudo and spicy tuna crispy rice are a must, as if the Langostino roll. Skip the wagyu skewers and the shrimp tempura roll though. read more

Iki Toro - Receipt 2 people - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, California

Iki Toro showed up on my social media feed and I immediately added it to my list of places to try. The space is undeniably beautiful and was what initially drew me in. It's one of the more visually stunning new spots in the area. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the aesthetic. The service was just okay, nothing particularly memorable, and the food itself felt underwhelming for the price point. Everything was fine, and the dishes I liked the most were the truffle edamame and the brussels sprouts which were of course the lower priced items and that didn't feel right. It was surprisingly expensive for what you get, which made the overall experience feel a bit disappointing. On top of that, the cocktail selection was limited that night (only three options), so I didn't even get to try what I originally had in mind. That said, since it's a new restaurant and there's always room to improve. I might give it another shot down the line later this year. read more

10/10 ... for our full experience The ambience (decor, lighting, everything was nice) The drinks The appetizers The rolls The service & There's free 90 minutes parking in the lot next door The girls and I found this place on Yelp and went in for a late meal. Jasmine & Phoenix gave us the best service, and were full of laughs! The restaurant has only been open 3 weeks so we wanted to try everything, and we weren't disappointed. For the 3 of us, each getting a drink, appetizer and roll it was $177 and we left full! The standouts were the Yellowtail Serrano Twist, it was fresh and flavorful. Also, all drinks were 10/10. It's perfect for late night, date night, or ladies night. We'll definitely be back! Tell a friend to tell a friend. read more

To start off I like to say that the decorations and overall look was excellent and one of the best looking sushi restaurants. The staff were very friendly and were working really hard. We didn't have to wait log at all for any service. We received drinks quickly including refills and we got our food quick too. Food tasted good and this was the problem. It was just good and nothing stood out or wowed us. I would have loved to give this a 5 star review but we didn't feel that anything would bring us back or make me carve an item. read more

My husband and I decided to give this place a try yesterday. It is renovated beautifully which I think draws a lot of people in but unfortunately everything we ordered was subpar. The service is excellent but when we asked the waiter what kind of toro they had , he had no idea what we were talking about. We explained to him that there are different fatty levels of toro. That should've been our que to walk out. Fish was very bad quality for the price you are paying. Spicy tuna crispy rice was drenched in eel sauce. Red snapper nigiri had way too much salt, amberjack was chewy and the toro was one of the worst we both have had. My lychee rose drink was the only decent thing we ordered. I really wanted to love this place but we won't be returning read more

Unpopular opinion, but this place is just ok. It's new, and probably needs some time to dial in recipes. Service was stellar and it's beautiful. A little pricey, but these days, what isn't? Short story: food is why I go places. It's not there yet. I'll try again in 3 months. read more

If you're looking for a new date night sushi spot, then you have to try Iki Toro. It's a bit pricey though definitely worth it -- Loved their Ube Old Fashioned (sweet sniff before you drink it and you'll feel all cozy) & Lychee Passion cocktails! Quick service. If you love Bluefin, try their Bluefin crudo (served with apple slices). The chicken heart skewer was also juicy. The rolls are good for sharing for 2 people. Will definitely come back to try their other cocktails and crudo dishes. read more

First time here and I cant express how wonderful it is! Energy is incredible (music was on point - low but the beats were so good). Our waitress Ester was knowledgeable, sweet and very attentive. The owners even came to our table expressing gratitude for our visit and even giving us a dessert on the house (I mean who does this now a days)!!!! The foood you MUST try... this is the type of sushi you dont want to miss out on (if you thought Sushi Samba is good, this is million times better). The fish was so fresh - we got salmon xo roll, longustino roll, salmon/spicy tuna hand rolls, edamame, yellowtail/albacore sashimis!! (Chefs Kiss) !!!! Coming back for more !!!! read more

Came for the soft opening with a friend and everything was excellent. The food was delicious, especially the fish, which melted in my mouth and was perfectly paired with flavorful sauces. Service was fantastic--Phoenix was hospitable, friendly, and knowledgeable she walked us through the whole menu with great recommendations. (She definitely picked out my favorite of the night) The owner also stopped by to introduce himself and suggested dishes, which was a nice touch. Tried both the classic Old Fashioned and the ube Old Fashioned. The classic was my favorite, but the ube is a great sweeter twist. Bartenders were lovely. Overall, a great experience, definitely recommend coming here! read more
