    Sushi and Sashimi Combination. So good! 10/10
    Natasha K.

    Quality of the fish was 10/10. The owners are incredibly polite, and the service was attentive. The vibe was sushi restaurant meets Dodgers fandom.

    This place is incredible! I keep coming back. The service is outstanding and the sushi is FIRE! Sushi Combination plate is the way to go. They know what they're doing. 10/10 for me. You definitely get what you pay for.

    Kid's Meal
    Vicky G.

    I know that I've done something right in my life to enjoy a meal at Toshi Sushi. The toro sashimi is so fresh and melts like butter in your mouth. The Hamachi Kama is a salty, smoky delight. The chirashi bowl is delicious and includes such high quality fish. The very best parts of Toshi? The vibe and the Chef, what a kind person who has created a welcoming space. This place is unpretentious and underrated. It deserves 5 solid stars.

    Delicious place for lunch in Torrance. I loved the nigiri we got from here. It was so fresh tasting! Everything was presented so beautifully and tasted great. We got the nigiri special, popcorn shrimp and soft shell crab. I would come back again!

    Salmon skin salad
    Ali I.

    Cute low key spot. Def has a good level of authenticity. The parking lot is small so either you'll get lucky or park in tozai plaza next door. Overall our experience was great and def came through for our sushi craving. Salmon skin salad: overall the salad and dressing was yummy. However, there wasn't really actual salmon skin nor was it crispy... it was more like flakes of sautéed salmon meat and not very much of it. For $16 and the small amount of fish we got I prob wouldn't order again. Sushi combo: delicious. It came with takiwasa, ikura, salmon, salmon belly, tuna, chutoro, and white pieces of white fish, 2 with seasonings. I love that they topped one w yuzu kosho! I usually don't care for ikura or takowasa but both were good and fresh tasting! We liked the sushi so much that we ordered more Ika/squid Kinmedai/golden eye snapper Nodoguro/Blackthroat seaperch Sayori/japanese halfbeak Saba/mackerel Negitoro handroll (green onion w/ chutoro) So everything was such good quality and so good... except one which was the ika/squid I love ika sushi but only at good quality sushi places because if not it's terrible. Given that all the other sushi was such good quality I was surprised when this ika was probably the worst I've had. It was probably not fresh and was tough and hard and tasted gross. Instead of spitting it out I just swallowed the whole thing immediately LOL I just couldn't think because it was so bad and especially in this setting I didn't want to be rude. So don't get the ika or ask about its freshness.

    Crunch Roll with shrimp
    Bridgette R.

    Let me start by saying that I love Toshi They have an amazing shrimp crunch roll and their cucumber seaweed salad is simply amazing. Very tasty. I normally ask for extra ginger as their ginger is simply amazing. You add it to your Crunchyroll. Take a little bit with each bite and wow, it's amazing. The cucumber seaweed salad just goes together so well has an amazing taste, and I believe this cucumber salad will go well with any one of their items on their menu. I am a crunch roll fan.

    Amazing and fresh sushi and sashimi, very friendly and fast service, the pieces of fish were all very large and thick, as well as fresh. I ordered the omakase set and my husband had the chirashi bowl. Both of us loved the food. What a hidden gem - we will be back!!

    Lunch special with teriyaki chicken and tempura
    Becky B.

    What a gem of a place! We were passing through the area around lunch time on Saturday and stopped in here for lunch. We were warmly greeted and sat down. Service was quick! I got the lunch special with the teriyaki chicken and the shrimp/veggie tempura. My friends opted to get an assortment of rolls and the udon soup. Everyone was very happy with their options. The fish was fresh and tender. Even a basic tuna roll was good! The ambiance is fun, with a little corner of memorabilia was interesting to look at.

    Lunch Special - super delicious and also comes with miso soup and salad
    Erica S.

    Came here for lunch and it was so good I came back the next day for dinner with the whole family. The service is exceptional with super friendly staff. They were prompt and very welcoming. I was surprised by the great quality of the fish. The sashimi and sushi were so fresh and the perfect texture. They have great prices for lunch and dinner for the sushi. All the cooked dishes were delicious and kid approved. I would order the karaage, gyoza and tempura again! And definitely the special chirashi for lunch & sashimi combination for dinner! Can't wait to try other dishes. The restaurant itself was super spacious and would be great for large group dinners and kid friendly. Coming back soon for the amazing experience and fresh fish!

    Udon with Shrimp Tempura!

    I keep coming back here with my family because this place is delicious. Toshi is uber nice and the staff are all very warm and welcoming. I will say it again, this place is a must try!!!

    Sushi combo

    My friend and I came here for lunch on a Saturday, and there were plenty of tables available. I got the sushi combo, which came with eight pieces of sushi, and my friend got the lunch combo, which allowed her to choose two items from a list. Both combos included miso soup and a very small salad. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and we had a nice lunch with friendly service.

    Omakase (lunch)
    Sameera N.

    A hidden gem! This is a totally nondescript place that you may not stop in. When we went it was fairly empty but that was not indicative of the food, which was delicious! The sushi was fresh, melting in your mouth. The black cod was 10/10. We met with Chef Toshi who is an absolute delight! 10/10 would return for a no frills classic sushi restaurant.

    Sashimi combination
    Ashley L.

    Wow! Toshi Sushi is very comparable to Japan quality. Fish is so fresh, soft, and melts in your mouth. It is very affordable for the quality and you get lots of variety in the sushi/sashimi plates. Service is excellent and waiter and chef were both from Japan. If you want true Japanese quality at a good price, you need to come here. I recommend the special chirashi ($26) and sashimi combination ($29).

    Special for the day, grilled fish

The miso soup was exactly that and the chawanmushi was piping hot - was pretty good. The sushi pieces came out and were all very good. Your normal pieces, along with things like toro, uni, and ikura.

    KenScale: 8.5/10 Visit: December 2025…read more Before we headed off to Los Angeles, my wife Jun and I debated where to take out our longtime friend and her husband the night before our trip together to the Santa Barbara wine country. We knew her friend loves sushi but it also happened that we had visited Sushi Sho in New York in the fall that we were afraid we might be too spoiled to enjoy another sushi restaurant. At the end, we decided to focus on treating our friend and booked a reservation to Sushi Sonagi, located inside a strip mall in Gardena outside LA. At the end of the night, Jun and I were surprised just how much we loved our experience at this sushi restaurant. The chef Daniel Son, a second-generation chef, is in charge of all of the dishes at Sushi Sonagi, which has a single counter table with two shifts per night. What really stood out about the omakase at Sushi Sonagi (the menu costs $250 per person) is chef Daniel's openness to experimenting with ingredients not typically used at a sushi restaurant, as well as the overall balance in flavor of all the dishes. The opening dishes featured a super delicious chawanmushi with snow crab and (unexpectedly) sweet corn. The fried green eyes fish was also another delightful item on the course, as well the mackerel sandwich that Jun really enjoyed even though mackerel is not her favorite fish. My two favorite dishes before the nigiri section were the black abalone (sourced from Korea's Jeju Island) with liver sauce - this is one delicacy that I won't stop thinking about for a while - and monkfish liver (which had a bit of wasabi on top to a surprising effect) that would've held its own against ankimo at other top-end sushi restaurants. The nigiris coming from chef Daniel's magical touch were also of consistently high quality; Jun and I were especially impressed with how each piece wasn't overly seasoned to maximize the texture of the fish. Some of the standout pieces wowed us with ingredients we had not encountered before, like the baby green onions that complemented beautifully with spotted skipjack tuna, or the seared flounder fin that was exceptional for its textural complexity. I certainly don't recall having many langoustine nigiri at sushi restaurants before, and after chef Daniel brought one (from New Zealand) with wonderfully crunchy texture, I wondered why other sushi restaurants don't try this ingredient more often. After a few more nigiri pieces and an aromatic soup of tofu, yuzu and chrysanthemum came the highlight of our dinner, a stone pot rice with female snow crab inside. The rice umami of this rice dish was so irresistible that even though I was pretty full by then, I felt compelled to ask for a second bowl. Even the tamago from Sushi Sonagi is not an ordinary egg custard, with miso butter that added an entirely different dimension to the dish. Getting a reservation at Sushi Sonagi, given its popularity in the LA dining scene and also limited seatings (the restaurant is only open Thursday through Saturday), will definitely require advance planning (plus $200 deposit per person, which will be fully refunded on the reservation day). Given that the reservation window opens 30 days prior at midnight Pacific Time, I was afraid I might miss the window but if you are able to wake up early Eastern Time the next day, most likely you will be able to snag a table. The modest and cozy setting of the counter gives a warm neighborhood restaurant vibe that belies the very high quality of dishes coming out of chef Daniel's hands. The restaurant does have a decent number of sakes and some limited wines on the beverage list; it also allows corkage for a fairly modest price of $45 / wine bottle so I brought a couple of champagnes from a wine shop in LA (I highly recommend Thatcher's Wine in Brentwood) to take advantage of the policy. At the end of the meal, we chatted for a bit with chef Daniel, who is a truly nice person that simply enjoys what he does and is eager to continue to improve upon his craft. I am so glad that there are still sushi restaurants out there that can wow us with an exceptional omakase meal and would gladly be back to visit Sushi Sonagi next time we are in LA.

I was treated warmly, despite it being a slower night. One other couple was finishing their meal as I arrived. I heard that they use fresh eels instead of the pre-seasoned, pre-glazed packaged ones that are so plentiful in the US and so I had to come try it. I was hard-pressed looking for a place that uses fresh eels. The dish took some time to prepare but I came fully aware and ready. I can happily say that the kabayaki donburi was tasty and not sickeningly sweet! You could still taste the eel on top of the seasoning used to baste it. I really appreciated how they didn't take the easier way out and slap a ready-to-eat one on a bed of rice. While waiting for the unagi, I ordered ankimo in ponzu and in their own "Fukuno" style. Ponzu is always a nice contrast but Fukuno style ankimo just melted like butter. A shame that portions are never enough, but it was delicious while it lasted. Other side dishes were ordered too and they were overall good. Unfortunately, some of the items I was hoping to order were out of season (firefly squid and persimmons), so I will come back later to try them. As others have mentioned, this small restaurant is run solely by an older couple. Be sure to call ahead to make a reservation or confirm hours for the day. If you do not, you may be turned away purely due to capacity and staffing limitations or they may close early. They are a lovely duo and can only handle so much and the seating capacity accurately reflects this.
