    Sashimi Moriawase
    Ari A.

    Amazing experience and probably one of the best casual sushi places in North Bay. The fish is incredibly fresh and the staff are just the right amount of attentive. We ordered: Miso Black Code Appetizer Sashimi Moriwase Saba Sashimi Hokkigai Sashimi Nigiri Moriwase Saba Nigiri Unagi Nigiri Ikura Nigiri Triple Tuna hand roll The miso black cod was perfect for my fish loving toddler who is a little too young to enjoy the raw fish. Nigiri was perfectly fresh and the sashimi was thick and generous.

    First time here

    I came here to have dinner and I was surprised how good and fresh the sushi was. The customer service was amazing, very helpful and friendly. Good vibe. 5 STARS.

    Rotten fish
    John S.

    Very disappointing experience. The food was not good at all -- we have mention the fish was smalls bad and it didn't taste fresh. Instead of addressing the issue, the owner was extremely rude and gave us the check right away, And refused to serve us even though we hadn't asked for it yet. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place.

    Edamame
    Amanda S.

    We went on a week night for dinner and got seated right away. We asked if they did sake bombs and got a very rude response so we just got beers. The edamame was very good. The rolls were just ok. Customer service wasn't that great but it's close to hotels and downtown.

    Love S.

    My favorite Sushi restaurant. Great service!!! Please come and enjoy and leave a review. What is your favorite - please share

    Spicy tuna with Mango on top

    Great service, came tonight Thursdays and our waitress was very nice. I had a tiger spicy tuna with mango added. Was delish! Wish I remembered the girls name, I didn't take my receipt but if I'm back in this area... I will return

    We love Toro and are here every chance we get. This has been our number one spot for years. The employees are all friendly, everything is always amazing every time we go.

    This is hands down our favorite sushi spot. The sushi is consistently delicious and beautifully presented, and every roll feels fresh and thoughtfully made. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. We live about 45 minutes away but we keep coming back because it never disappoints.

    Lovely little family run place, warm and inviting. The chefs are outstanding, and the service is spot on. The food is always fresh, never had a single "off" piece.

    Are soy wraps instead of nori available upon request? I love to accompany my sushi loving husband and want to do some rolls but I am not a fan of nori. I love it when I can choose the soy wrap option because I can participate with most of the menu.

    I would say call ahead to see if they have soy wraps available. We have never had an issue with customizing rolls to fit different tastes tho I've never gotten something soy wrapped to be honest. Cucumber wrapped yes, but the prior no haha.…

The sushi chef, his sous chefs and the staff lead a splendid night. Each step was curated in its own way with descriptions for anything we ate, origins, and the connection with the chef. Things started outside in a waiting area with an introductory drink and appetizer. Once things were ready to go inside, we were ushered in and had name places for each of our seats for the evening. If you needed to use the restroom there isn't one organic to the space and you had to go back into the main hallway. We were given 16 courses of fish listed on small chalkboards along the back wall, and then dessert to follow. Everything tasted delicious. My partner had gotten the sake tasting to go with it which added nicely with the food. My favorites for it were the tuna tail, miso steamed egg, hamachi, the shrimp, and the baby octopus. The tuna tail was such an interesting presentation, and the flavors were simple and clean. The miso steamed egg was just comfort. The hamachi melted with how it was prepped with each bite which was great. The shrimp was really fresh, and easy to bite through. The baby octopus tasted amazing, simply seared and was so easy to eat. A number of ingredients were flown in fresh, or from Japan as they added to the dish. The wasabi was also fresh but locally sourced from the US. It was amazing to hear all of the small details that went into each piece and the inspiration behind the dishes. Certainly, a beautiful experience and some of the best sushi also in the area.

Simple, beautifully executed, and absolutely delicious.

Having read so many rave reviews, I was unfortunately underwhelmed, the bread was good (soft, moist, good flavor), but I didn't think the sandwich itself was anything that special. There are many other turkey sandwiches I have enjoyed more, no need for a special trip. But do buy some bread while you are there, or grab some when you're at Quail and Condor. I liked the Yecora Rojo Sourdough (moist, good flavor). They can even slice it for you with their machine, although I wish I hadn't because the slices were very thick and a bit uneven.

For…read morecontext, our party of four had dined at The French Laundry two days earlier, which may have heightened our expectations. That dinner was exceptional and showed us what truly outstanding hospitality can feel like. By comparison, our experience at SingleThread fell far short of the standard we expected from a restaurant of this caliber. The issues began as soon as we arrived. Despite several emails exchanged beforehand and repeated references to personalizing the experience, the staff initially got my name wrong. We were then directed to look through a small kitchen window without any explanation, context, or narrative about what we were seeing. After a few minutes, a small tea drink was served through the window, but we were then left standing in a cramped entry area for roughly 20 minutes with no meaningful interaction from the three people at the desk. During that time, we watched other parties arrive and be escorted elsewhere while no one checked in with us or explained the delay. Eventually, someone from the dining room asked whether we would like to be seated. By that point, I was already frustrated. Once seated, our server quickly described several small dishes arranged on a flower-and-moss-covered faux log, then left before we had any meaningful sense of the menu, the number of courses, or the direction of the meal. When the sommelier arrived and asked us to choose wine or pairings, I felt unable to make an informed decision because I did not know what food was coming. I ultimately chose the wine pairing simply because it seemed like the safest option given the lack of information. The service throughout the evening did not reflect what I would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. There was little storytelling, little hospitality, and very little sense that the experience was being guided with care. A server attempted to clear my plate while my fork and knife were still in my hands. Another server bumped a member of our party with a plate. Most concerning, the staff appeared to lose track of a guest's allergy and served me her plate instead. To be clear, we caught the mistake; the staff did not. That kind of lapse is difficult to overlook. We also consistently had difficulty hearing the descriptions of the dishes as they were presented, which further diminished the sense of connection to the meal. At a restaurant centered so heavily on the progression, story, and precision of each course, that lack of clear communication mattered. The food itself showed creativity, skill, and technique. There were several good courses, a few that felt unusual or less successful, and a couple of truly strong dishes, including the best duck I have had to date. Unfortunately, it was difficult to fully appreciate the food because the service failures were so distracting and so far below expectations. The one clear positive of the evening was the sommelier. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in discussing each pairing and in making recommendations to other members of our party. His service stood apart from the rest of the experience. We will not return. For us, the evening did not feel personal, polished, or worthy of the reputation attached to it. It felt like highly engineered cuisine paired with service that did not meet fine-dining standards. We left The French Laundry two nights earlier talking about every detail with admiration. We left SingleThread frustrated and deeply disappointed.
