The service is always friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. The rolls are consistently fresh and flavorful, and the soup is always comforting and delicious -- they never disappoint. The menu has a great variety, so there's something for everyone, whether you're a sushi lover or just want a light, tasty meal. Overall, it's a reliable, high-quality spot for sushi with a welcoming atmosphere. I always look forward to coming back whenever I'm in the area!

A decent sushi place here in Scotts Valley. The nigiri are decently made, but it's hard to tell…read morethat the rice has been seasoned appropriately with vinegar, and the overall flavors and balance is a bit off. Judging by their specialty roll menu, I think they specialize in rolls that are heavy on sauces, toppings, fried aspects, and "western" elements. It may be just because of the local palate, but I typically prefer more authentic, traditional Japanese/sushi/sashimi. Servers were prompt and polite. Ambiance is normal - good for small groups, families, or friends. I had one issue with one dish which they tried to resolve, but initially they advised that it was a "normal" part of the fish, which I can acknowledge, but the degree/size of the issue was a bit more of my concern. They did try and make it right, but I was a bit off put by their initial response. Perhaps they were busy and getting slammed by the evening rush.

DID NOT DISAPPOINT…read more Finished the redwoods trail on a cold day and was craving ramen. There were only two options nearby and the other location didn't open until 4:30 pm. Hokkaido was open when we needed it to be. The number 1, garlic tonkatsu was a good creamy texture and had one of the best eggs I've had a in a while. A little sweet, but that yoke was perfect. I finished my bowl super fast. I wrote this as soon as I finished my bowl. Did not regret it. Good ramen in a beach town.

I have mixed reviews about Sapporo because there are many things I like about it -- namely, the…read morenoodle dishes are tasty! (Skip the green onion pancakes though. They were chewy and undercooked!) There were a lot of customers there and, I believe only 3 workers: front of the restaurant woman who is your hostess, server, "bus boy", and cashier! Then there was the cook and someone in the back. The service was fine overall but Sapporo fell short on cleanliness and food handling safety. My kids and I were STARVING so we had to just look the other way throughout our dinner. You can tell they were working hard so we didn't want to make a fuss but omg... the woman brought our bowls with her THUMB in the bowls! I could see that it went into the soup one time so she moved her thumb (probably bec it was hot) and almost dropped the bowl on the table. Another time she held a piece of paper (I think it was the order) in her hand while also handling our food, so the paper went into 2 out of 4 of our bowls. She had to shake the piece of paper next to me to get the food to fall off. It was so shocking that it was almost funny. Almost. Sapporo is what I'd call a "hole in the wall" establishment like ones I had been to in big cities, and with those places, I think there is a bit of uncleanliness that you just have to expect as long as the food is good. Based on how packed Sapporo is, I think that's what others feel as well.

My friend and I came here craving for ramen. We came on a weekday so no one was inside. We were the…read moreonly ones around noon. I ordered their tonkatsu ramen and my friend ordered their karaage ramen. food: Broth is super tasty. I like my pork belly. It wasn't too dry and was very easy to chew on. The noodles did get soggy over time. My friend's karaage was pretty good. The only thing we'd complain about is that the egg wasn't half raw as most ramen shops does it. It is very cooked which made it super dry. It seems alot of the yelp reviews were about the egg. I hope with many feedbacks about the egg, the chef could improve it make it half raw like most places. Environment: Inside was clean. Very quiet. It's a pretty small shop so can only fit less than 10 tables. The service was friendly. He was nice.

We had a craving for ramen while on vacation in Monterey, and Toribashi came thru for us!…read more This restaurant was located in a downtown area, so there wasn't a dedicated parking lot, but it was fairly easy to find street parking. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen which was flavorful with a rich broth. I also know my kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves because there was nothing left in their bowls :) Thank you, Toribashi!

Welp.. We finally had the chance to return to Monterey.. As we were squeezed for time, we chose to…read morecome to Toribashi tonight. Parking was only mildly challenging, as a space opened up after only a single lap around the block. Inside here, you'll find a busy place with a few tables and individual bar-style (partitioned!) paired seating along the walls adjacent to the kitchen in the middle part of the restaurant. Order up at the self-serve order kiosks, tap in your table/counter number, and they bring out your order in a couple of minutes. We had six of us in our party, and most of us kept it simple by ordering the default Tonkatsu Ramen with different customizable options. Most all of the ingredients in this order were on point - The Chasu Pork Belly was tender, thick and delicious, ramen noodles nothing special, but generally stil on point, as were the bamboo shoots. However, the co-star/centerpiece of the Tonkatsu Ramen other than the Chasu Pork slab should be the broth, but sadly the broth was far far TOO salty which overpowered the other flavors in the broth. Chasu Pork 4.8/5, Tonkatsu Ramen 3.1/5. Service was good as everyone was hustling hard in the kitchen, along with attentive bussers/waitstaff to quickly turn tables. They take good care in wiping down the tables here. If I return, I'll just get the Paitan Ramen like I did in years past, as that seemed less salty. Then again the Paitan soup base begins with the same chicken+pork soup base as the Tonkatsu Ramen. I hope Toribashi will step back up to their former glory.

Girlfriend and I randomly met Andy while he was doing prep work in the morning…read more Great conversationalist and just knew his shit was bouta hit. We came back in the evening and got the Red Chili Dumplings. Safe to say, they were the best dumplings I ever had. Very flavorful: sour just enough, spicy just enough, salty just enough, and you can taste just a bit of sweetness. Unparalleled flavor profile. I'm a fat ass so sharing the dumplings woulda never got me full, but WOW did they pack a punch.

I think my favourite was the red oil wonton. The oil was phenomenal, and it was fun to dip the katsu in there lol hehe. The Bao was good, and quintessentially bao! The Gyoza was perfectly textured ( *w*)b Another standout was how everything was served with tasty garnishes and paired sauces. Food AND fun :) Can't wait to go back and try the actual ramen

There were only several tables inside, so the place is cozy and quite enough. The edamame was salted throughout, flavorful but not the most healthy. We ordered three rolls: volcano was our favorite, it has a great mixture of flavors. I used to be a sashimi person, but I enjoyed the baked rolls due to the flavor. Firecracker was tasty too. Mango crunch was a letdown, not because of the mango but the tempura in the middle. The tempura had the wrong type of dough and tasted old and soggy. I probably won't order any of their tempura dishes again if I ever revisit. Overall I still enjoyed the food and thought it's good value.

Thanks goodness wasabi was open, because it made me try them for the first time. The woman on the phone was delightful. She took my order for 6:30pm and I had a feeling it was going to be good. We ordered a variety of rolls that were ready and waiting when we arrived. Yam maki Rainbow roll Clare's st roll Samurai roll California roll Hamachi maki The rice was flavorful and fresh, the fish and veggies were also clearly fresh, and the seasonings and garnishes were just right. 12 pc sushi combo - the fish was vibrant, buttery in texture, and the slices were generous. All of this was just over $100! Great quality food for a really reasonable price. Our friends who live in Scotts Valley now have a new favorite sushi spot. Only downside is that it's challenging to find. 11Camp Evers is misleading in Maps. 11 Scotts Valley Drive got us to this great find, tucked up in behind Auntie Mame's, a local breakfast spot on the corner of Mt. Hermon and Scotts Valley Drive. It's worth finding. Trust us.

I was really sad and disappointed…read more I ordered the teriyaki chicken and rice and a Sprite in a can. The total with tax was over $19. It's not the price that bothered me. What bothered me is the chicken from the beginning? It was cold It looked like it was going to be so good too. It just tasted weird. I felt like it wasn't cooked all the way, but then I just kept trying to eat it. Hubby said no it's cooked . There was a couple hard parts in it that hurt my tooth and then I asked my husband to try it because I told him I feel like this was just off. Maybe like frozen and refrozen. It just did not taste good For me, I've never ate at a Ramen place and not liked it so this was very odd to me unfortunately because it's not a restaurant and it's a food place that's in the mall. I didn't feel like I had a manager I could go talk to you know maybe it was a mishap. All I could finish was the rice. The food took over 10 minutes
