    Top: Sebastopol Roll Bottom: Redwood Roll
    Anthony W.

    Very tasty sushi. Me and my girl went here recently and got some food to go which when I got there I kinda wish we had sat inside. Just looking from the outside it looked like it had a nice traditional interior. The prices seemed reasonable and the fish seemed fresh. We ended up getting a Sebastopol and Redwood Roll which were both really good. The Redwood one reminded me of a caterpillar roll. Very fresh and a lot of flavors with each bite. I'm never really in a Tuna mood but I was really shocked at how much I ended up liking the Sebastopol roll. Ultimately this is the kind of quality I'm used to in the Bay Area. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just really good tasting food!

    Always delicious and fresh! Tozai is my favorite sushi spot! Great service and ambiance. Prawn martini is better than anywhere else! I used to have to share it with my kids but now they demand their own! My favorites are the new wave roll, hamachi nigiri, escolar nigiri and sake nigiri. My family loves the Sebastopol roll! Mermaid roll is really good, too!

    The variety of vegetarian rolls we had for takeout

    I strongly recommend Sushi Tozai for its incredible variety of vegetarian options! We called for takeout at dinner time and it was ready very quickly! Some of my favorites were the tempura sweet potatoes, the asparagus rolls, and Inari. The dragon roll was beautiful and chock full of vegetables, but I didn't get much flavor from the mango or avocado wrapping the rolls. I appreciated that the shop tried to minimize packaging to the greatest extent possible. The service was also very friendly. I would definitely return!

    The sushi chefs use the proper balance of fish to rice as they form the Nigiri. The rice is a proper blend, and it is fresh.

    We came here for three months ago. The atmosphere was subdued and not particularly pretty. The food was mediocre at best.

    Solid Japanese style restaurant serving beautifully curated and thoughtfully prepared small dishes…read morein a seemingly unexpected location on the Mendocino / Sonoma coast ! We recently relocated to Sonoma county (The Sea Ranch) from Silicon Valley (Menlo Park) and have had some nice meals along the coast since we moved here FT (Harbor House, Ledford House etc) but this little spot is a real gem. Friends recommended it so we had a double date night and filled the table with all sorts of goodies. Great evening and food. Highly recommended. Small, simply situated on a very quiet street in Point Arena. A few doors down from a decent locally sourced weed shop (also worth a visit BTW), and a local fish monger (Point Arena is a commercial fishing port) and solid local bakery (Pelican), this excellent restaurant serves up a variety of rotating locally sourced small plates and yakatori style grilled meats and veggies as well as some raw fish and stews as well. Highlights were the sashimi, the fish roe on rice, the grilled pork belly, the grilled cabbage salad, the tempura shrooms and the fried chicken oysters as well as the grilled chicken thighs. All excellent. They have a nice selection of saki's as well (we had 2 small bottles to share $20/each) and to close the meal we had the Matcha ice cream with passion fruit ! All in for 4 people including tax and tip $250...which in today's world seemed very fair to me. Great meal and great vibe overall. Chef/owners apparently have strong training and work experience in Japanese settings and fine dining restaurants- which may explain why this place does very simple things so well... Make a reservation on the weekends otherwise you'll miss out or end up eating at the bar. There are certainly worse things to do than that...however, trust me. Visit here and thank me later. Well done Izakaya Gama ! We will be back. This will undoubtedly be on our regular "locals dining out rotation" now. Bravo Izakaya Gama !

The food was genuinely…read moredelicious, and I'd even argue it's impressively authentic--no Japanese staff, but absolutely Japanese-level execution. Every dish landed. Fried, grilled, steamed, raw... not a single miss. We were staying just up the block on a short getaway, and this ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the trip. At one point we were talking about Rintaro in SF, and the chef overheard us--she mentioned he knew the folks there and spoke highly of them. Honestly, after eating here, I think Gama is better, and at a much friendlier price point. Warm atmosphere, great food, and a chef who clearly cares about what they're doing. This place is a win all around.

    I have been to a few places that like to use technology to order and deliver your food. From…read moreconveyor belts, to cars that drive on a track, to robots. This place does it all. They also play all kinds of music but in a Japanese/pop/classical style. The walls are adorned with fountains, misty mountains and other fun art pieces. You order your food on a tablet, but a server will come over if you need to ask questions. The food is mostly delivered on a car that comes out of the kitchen on a track. Most dishes are delivered this way. They used to have the robot as well, but I didn't see it tonight. The food is very good here. All the fish was delicious and tasted very fresh. I ordered a Chirashi bowl, which is full of fresh fish and rice. I love it! I also got an Alaska roll which was also delicious! The only thing I didn't love was the salad because I think the dressing is a tad too sweet. I love this place!

    Updating prior review…read more.. I used to come here a lot and really enjoyed it. Decided to give them a try after going to some other sushi places for a bit, so it was a nostalgia trip. They have also just completed an expansion and remodel which added more seating, and opened up the restaurant with a bit. They still use the iPad based ordering system which I always like, since it allows for better pacing. While before I praised them, this time left more to be desired. The sheen seems to have come off. Not sure if they changed chefs, but fish did not seem as fresh, sauces were a lot more heavy handed (overkill), and it just didn't feel as clean tasting as it used to. Maybe an off night, but not nearly as good as I remembered it to be. They have more cute robots now - and the bee decor makes it feel more like a proper restaurant. Though they have a wide menu - I would probably encourage sushi lovers to look elsewhere. The ramen, fried rice, dumplings and bento boxes are probably a stronger suit here now. They also seem to be doing a lot of take out service now as well.

    Came here for dinner on a Saturday night as a party of 3. I didn't have super high expectations…read moregiven that there aren't many asian food offerings in this area compared to the South Bay Area but this place pleasantly surprised me! They had authentic wasabi and great ginger slices! We were seated in the back patio and it was enjoyable because it wasn't hot and there was plenty of shade from the Bamboo. Fried Calamari - 3/5 a bit dry but the sweet Thai aioli was interesting Geisha - 5/5 - Standard sushi roll 49er - 5/5 - my fave b/c of the refreshing lemon slice Carberator - 3.5/5 - just okay b/c I'm not the biggest fan of Tempura, we ordered it since it wasn't spicy for one of the members of my party to be able to enjoy and it was their favorite Snow White - 4/5 - a bit too saucy but great flavor ~~Parking: There's a dedicated parking lot that's pretty spacious, we didn't have any troubles finding parking. ~~Service: Good. All of the waitresses are super nice, though it can be a little difficult to get help from the back patio just due to not being within natural eyesight of them. ~~Best Part: 49er roll ~~Worst Part: Nothing. ~~Return: Yes
