I write this review with a bit of disappointment since my parents have been coming to this restaurant for 20 years and this was my first experience here. I know this is a family run restaurant - all of the servers except one were extremely warm and courteous. The older woman seemed cold and impatient with us when we asked if we should include the tip in the handwritten bill total or as a separate Venmo since they do not take credit cards. Her response was a flat "whatever you want" and repeated that when I tried to confirm whether or not I heard it correctly. I'm not one to take things personally usually but I saw how she was interacting with other tables and it was hard not to wonder if we did anything wrong. We also felt rushed at the end of our visit and that experience was off putting and uncomfortable to say the least since everything else was normal up until the check out point and I really enjoyed the food. As for the food, it was delicious, traditional and well done. The tempura was lighter than most I've had in the area and sushi had the right flavor on the vinegar rice and fish was fresh. I do wish there was a little more rice and less fish on some of the rolls - the ratio might've been a little off. Despite the odd interaction I would come back and def recommend - I'll assume it was an off day. No reservations but go when they open! Biggest note tho is their payment options are Venmo, Zelle or check! And yes, you can put the tip in your total. read more

Definitely recommend everything we ordered -- we were completely stuffed by the end! Each nigiri piece is on the bigger side, easily two bites each. From the chef's assortment, our favorites were the various cuts of tuna (both fat and lean) and the yellowtail. The salmon here is either coho or sockeye, which has a stronger, more distinct flavor compared to the Atlantic salmon most other restaurants use. The spicy tuna roll was delicious, and the rainbow roll was packed with great bites throughout. For two people paying cash, those two rolls plus the nigiri came out to around $110 before tip. Overall, if you enjoy fresh fish and a sweeter seasoned sushi rice, this is the place for you. We would definitely come back to share the sashimi platter with a group!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Toyoda Sushi - Sashimi dinner - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Always a favorite spot to eat when we visit Seattle. It's a small family owned restaurant that serves high quality sashimi. I ordered the nigori sake while my partner ordered the house hot sake. We were served hot miso soup and a cold noodle salad. It was a rainy day so both were comforting, I love that the cold noodle salad had pieces of apple or pear , it gave it a nice sweet crunch to the dish. We also ordered the chefs choice sashimi assortment, creamy scallop maki and the ikura with quail egg, as well as a bowl of rice. We didn't order many dishes but everything was plenty. We loved the creamy scallop maki, fresh, simple and delicious. Raw scallop has become one of our favorites, it was also included in our sashimi assortment as well. The mackerel was also one of our favorites as well. Surprisingly, the salmon was our least favorite sashimi cut. It's always a treat for us to come back to this restaurant. read more

Our favorite sushi spot in North Seattle/Lake City. It's a small, cozy, family-run restaurant with a lot of charm. They've been there for a long time and there's a bunch of articles on their walls about the family that runs it. It's a little pricey, but I think well worth it as the food is high quality and portions are good. Fairly kid friendly place. They don't take reservations, but it's usually fairly easy to get seated for a party of 2-4. I believe payment is only via apps like Venmo. read more

After living in Seattle for many years, I finally had a chance to try this famous sushi spot in Lake City. This is a family owned sushi restaurant that's popular for a reason. Their servings of sushi are some of the freshest you can get in the area and focus more on traditional style of serving sushi rather than having trendy rolls that other restaurants might serve. Their only drawback is that it can be a bit pricey, but you are getting good quality for what you're paying. While I can't keep going every week (I would if I could), this is definitely a top sushi spot that doesn't disappoint. The service was great and it was a nice casual place to sit down and eat at. read more

Toyoda Sushi - Sashimi dinner. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great place for sushi. Solid service and will continue to enjoy for many years to come

We have been going to Toyoda Sushi for years. It's a well kept sushi secret in the Greater Seattle area. It's perhaps because it sits in a quiet place in Lake City, where there is no foot traffic. We've tried many dishes here in the past and we've always enjoyed it. But last night we came for the Sashimi platter which my wife and I shared and devoured. It's not cheap, but it's surely worth the price---the plate filled with an assortment of fresh fish, scallops, squid and shrimps. It's as gorgeous looking as it tasted. It comes with miso soup and the Japanese cold noodle salad. We each ordered a bowl of rice. Perfect! Service is super efficient and friendly. The interior has a feel of old Tokyo, lots of wood. The owners and servers here have been here for years---feels like family when you come here. There's lots of parking in the front and back. Only cash or Venmo are the forms of payment. This is our place to go for special occasions---birthdays, graduation, etc. No fuss, just great sushi. read more

Almost want to keep this place to myself, but it deserves a public shoutout! Very kind staff, and very very delicious food. Split a sushi platter between 3 people and it was more than enough food. Very delicious, about 4-6 slices of each fish. Great variety, and beautiful presentation. Saw lots of locals that the staff recognized and warmly greeted. The menu options are wide but not too much, prices were very reasonable. Excited to go back! read more

Amazing Food!! Sushi so fresh. Cute, little place. Very authentic. Staff work well together serving and checking on table. Try the blackened cod. Not five stars because I wish there was an alternative to Venmo or cash only. I get it. Luckily I had an extra 3 $100 bills on me at the time. Blink is an eye and they're closed. Open 2 1/2 hours four days a week. Plan accordingly. read more

I half understand the hype. I got here on a Saturday, 10 minutes before they opened. There was no one there, and we ended up being the first in line. By the time they opened, the line went past their storefront. By 5:05 there were groups waiting for a table. The vibes inside are definitely cozy. It's bigger than it seems from the outside. We sat and were greeted immediately with water or tea, miso soup, and an interesting noodle salad. The miso soup had spinach instead of seaweed, and the noodle salad was very mayo-y. My partner liked it, I wasn't much of a fan. Okay sushi time. I ordered a few orders of sashimi, my partner ordered the chefs assortment of nigiri and rolls. Fish quality was pretty good! The proportion of rice to fish was really good too. Small critique being that the nigiris fell apart really easily; rice wasn't balled together well enough? Service was really nice. There were many groups waiting, but we never felt rushed. You pay via cash, Venmo, or zelle which is fine. Overall, it was pretty good! But for the price ($10 for 2 nigiri??), and for how far out it is, I don't think it's worth it. Worth a try for sure though! read more

Decent place to get sushi in North Seattle. Super friendly service with complementary miso soup and a salad of some sort. For the same price of a sushi spot in downtown Seattle or Capitol Hill, I have noticed that this place is pretty pricey, especially if they are preferring Venmo or Zelle for a payment. Besides that turn off, the food was OK, I would rather go to Momiji instead. read more

Toyoda Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Walked in and got seated immediately around 5:15pm for a table of two. We were sooooooo hungry so it was so nice that we immediately got dishes of miso soup and cold noodles to tie us over while we browsed the menu. The menu has a lot of options but not so many that it's overwhelming. We were able to order pretty quickly and the food followed not long after, I only had enough time to take a few sips of my tea before the first roll came out. Something about the atmosphere makes eating really comfortable there-- the dishware is sooooo cute and the lighting is warm and perfect and inviting. We ordered the Agedashi Tofu, Rainbow Maki, Gomei, Ikura and Salmon Nigiri and shared. The Rainbow Maki is STUFFED with fish in the most beautiful way. Everything was so fresh and so flavorful! It was such a satisfying amount of food (we even had some tofu leftover) and I was only sad because there wasn't any room for dessert. I'm coming back for that tempura ice cream one day (soon)! read more

Toyoda sushi was amazing!!! We (my best friend and i) were sat immediately when we walked in around 5:15pm on a Friday, and the space had great ambience - It's like the family of this restaurant was inviting us into their living room to feed us. There was great art everywhere, and so many moments where you can see the family was sharing themselves with the patrons. The service was quick and intuitive, we were sat and immediately had miso soup and noodles to start us off. Whenever a plate or bowl was emptied it was taken away quickly. The staff were so kind and very thoughtful in their service. The food was lovely and beautifully made, my personal favorite was the rainbow maki. The fish was good quality and made me really full and truly so happy. We walked away from our experience so full and happy from this experience! If you want great sushi with a great vibe, definitely stop by here read more

I had been a regular at Toyoda Sushi, located in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood, since the early 1990s. Definitely preYelp and was quite the novice. Honestly, I don't recall when and why I had stopped going though. But feeling nostalgic, I decided to stop by for dinner (7/10/24). I lucked out with free nearby street parking, which was sheer luck with the Lake Coty Farmers Market on Thursdays. A total spontaneous dining decision and recalled having to patiently wait for a table or seating at the sushi counter in years past. No challenge this evening and was able to be seated at a two top with a menu. 25 to 30 years had passed, yet me and Helen still recognized each other. I was amazed that her 33 year old son was now making sushi alongside his Dad. I remember him and another sibling as young kids. I was provided a menu, ice water, and the generous starters of house noodle salad and miso soup. The menu had a great section about the family and restaurant's history...celebrating 35 years! Also there's information on payment. No cards. Only cash, check, Venmo, or Zelle are accepted. The house noodle salad had changed from a toothsome udon to some other noodle similar to linguine, still tossed with a creamy sauce, plus bits of surimi and apple. The miso got one's palate ready. I was also given an order of agedashi tofu. That was nice...crunchy, hot, delicate tofu with a tasty broth and green onion. Great anticipation for the sushi, an order each of hamachi/yellowfish & shake/salmon nigiri, plus a negi toro/fatty tuna roll. My hotate/scallop was omitted, but received extra slices of salmon. Nigiri were huge, easily equivalent to 4 pieces elsewhere. The fish was fresh and served at optimal temperature. I was definitely feeling very full, so I inquired about some hot tea to wrap up my dinner. It gave me an opportunity to take in literally being in the moment. Toyoda Sushi is exactly as I remembered it...the faded photos at the entrance, the anticipation, the pleasant wall art, on point seamless service, exuberant convos at the sushi counter, and the no frills, quality menu items. Fairly full onsite dining, but also brisk takeout. It is that welcoming neighborhood spot that literally spans generations. 4 stars + 1 more for an overall positive experience. 35 years as a family run business speaks volumes. read more

Ive been here multiple times and it keep getting better with time. The sushi was fresh with wonderful fluffy sushi rice. The karage and croquette had great flavor. You can tell they marinated the fish. The servers were kind and friendly to my son and the ambiance was of an old time Japanese restaurant. Wonderful read more

We were seated very quickly and were provided miso soup. Very cozy and a good amount of seating. Got the sushi assortment ($66) to share with my boyfriend. While the portions were gracious, I do feel the assortment of fish should suit the price point. As per the photo, the assortment included unagi, cooked ebi, hokkigai, and tamago. I was a bit disappointed to see them in a $66 nigiri assortment. My boyfriend who loves salmon did not find the salmon enjoyable. It was not as smooth or fatty as salmon nigiri we've had from other establishments. But the portion size, the tuna, and the spicy tuna roll that came with the sushi assortment were all enjoyable. read more

The missus and I have come a couple of times now. The most recent was a Saturday (June 2024) right when they opened. There were many groups waiting but we still made it for first seating. We like the vibe of the place - and now that we've actually been to Japan, it's nice to see an authentic Japanese place in Seattle in a different light. There's 45 total seats - 6 tables of 4, 8 tables for 2, and the rest at the sushi bar. At around 520pm there were maybe 6-10 seats (total remaining) - so definitely get here early if you want to get a seat on a busy weekend! The ambiance is quiet but the place is small enough you can hear everyone else's conversations. The decor is very Japanese - which makes sense, it's owned by a Japanese family. The service is fluid, chaotic, but organized. I never worried about water refills and completed dishes were promptly removed. The primary complaint I have is the drinks are all waaaay expensive - like a soda costs $2.75? The beer options are the generic Kirin, Asahi, and Sapporo, for $10/$15 (small/large)?! And I can't use credit card here? (cash, Zelle, or Venmo "personal" only - avoids service fees I guess?) hmm, that's unfortunate. Also the street parking is sparse - so it's super sketchy to park in the Elliott Bay Brewing parking lot (next door, kind of?), but given that there's no one there, I'm sure they won't notice. Food-wise, the most recent time I ordered a combo B and the missus ordered the sushi assortment. I had to order a rice separately, because the combo (what) doesn't come with it? The croquette and the karaage were both good; gyoza was meh. The sushi pieces were big but missus felt the quality was worse the second time here. Total came out to $130 after tip, which we used Venmo for ("personal"). Verdict: would do takeout here for big groups, but not sure if we'd keep coming here. It's decent, but it didn't hit the same way (quality-wise) that we expected it to. read more

It's always busy. And it's really generous portions of fresh and delicious sushi. The prices reflect the quality and generous portions. It was $60 for the large sushi platter which comes with six piece roll and 11 pieces of fish sushi, then two pieces of egg for dessert. The tempura sushi combo is about $35 and comes with at least two shrimp tempura and a plate full of vegetable tempura along with two maki rolls. This is very filling and a satisfying meal. Next to us the neighbors ordered the large sashimi platter. For $90 it was amazing. All meals come with complementary noodle salad and miso tofu seaweed soup. The hostess is really grounded and hospitable. She's impressively professional, calmly letting us know we will get seated without overpromising. The wait staff is excellent. Your water is always filled and empty dishes disappear very quickly quickly. It's a bustling space with happy people eating good food. Street parking pin rough during dinner time so try around back. read more

We came here on a Thursday right around dinner time at 6pm and could get seated right away. A queue started forming shortly after, so I'd recommend arriving before 6! The restaurant has a cozy, casual Japanese vibe. There is bar and table seating, but the restaurant isn't very big. REGULAR SASHIMI SET - 5/5 RAINBOW FUTOMAKI -5/5 SUSHI SET - 3.5/5 The sashimi quality was amazing. I definitely overestimated how much we could eat, because the sashimi set was huge! We ordered the regular sashimi set - although pricy, there was so much variety and the fish was really fresh and sweet. The rainbow futomaki also tasted amazing. The roll was packed with mixed sashimi fish making every bite enjoyable. I didn't enjoy the sushi set as much - while the spicy tuna roll was good, the nigiri tasted okay. Sharing these 3 things among 3 people was more than enough and we had leftovers. Service was okay. It was odd that they only accepted payment via Venmo or Zelle - no credit cards or cash. Although on the pricier end, I'd definitely come for the Sashimi set and rainbow futomaki! read more

Came back here two weeks later on a weekend since my first visit. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Let the photos speak for itself! The portion has reduced BIG TIME! Ebi (sweet shrimp), octopus, kanpachi?and mackerel? has the most obvious volume reduction. Other cuts have smaller portion and some of them are tiny longer rectangular cuts instead of the typical wide sashimi cuts. Most importantly I think they have different menu price for weekdays VS weekend? I swear it was closer to $80 on my first weekday visit VS $100 for my weekend visit! Service as usual minimal and hard to get their attention and you have to attempt again and again to flag them down for anything you need... AND most importantly this time they just added tips into their check without giving a heads up (and even though we are just a party of 4)! Ridiculous! I am not against it as long as I was given a heads-up so I know what I am walking into, but sliding it into the check without former and formal notice IS CONSIDERED A DISHONEST PRACTICE imo. Most importantly you would not know if they charged you how much tips since their check never actually list the price and sum and tips/tax amount but just a grand total. I would never come back and I will now advise against my friends and family to visit here. read more

My favorite roll was the Rainbow Futomaki The wait is a little long so try to be there right when they open at 5pm. Their hours are 5-7:30pm Thursday-Sunday. They only accept cash, Zelle or Venmo payment. Overall, I would come back but will definitely consider doing a takeout order. read more

Sushi was really delicious! All the raw sushi were really good portion sizes. The toro was amazing! The meal starts off with free small miso soup & noodle dish. Be prepared on what you want to order! They don't give a lot of time after you are seated to order. It's because they are SO busy! We came 5pm on Saturday and it was completely packed. Also, they tell you if you order anything else at a later time it's going to be another 30 min wait. There were Five 4-tops, Four 2-tops, and about 10 seats at sushi bar. I would not recommend for large groups. My husband and I sat at a 4 top, we had to share it with another couple (strangers) because there was another 20ppl waiting to get seated. You might have to wait outside in the rain - the restaurant is small/crowded Service does come by frequently to check on you & clear your table which was really nice. FYI: Only Cash, Venmo, or Zelle is accepted. No cards! Paying is a lil inconvenient since someone needs to confirm you paid the correct amount before you leave. It's only parallel parking which can be hard to find on the restaurant street. I knocked off a star because of their payment methods & very limited hours/days open. read more

great family run restaurant been going there for 30 years the best in town and reasonably priced

We came in 5 minutes before 5 pm on a Friday and there were 2 groups in front of us. We were seated right away when they opened around 5pm. They updated the prices so check out the menu photo I posted. Here's my honest review: Food: - Sushi Assortment: The presentation looked colorful and appealing BUT the sushi lacked freshness and had an unpleasant fishy odor, indicating poor quality or improper storage/defrosting process. The assortment came with 6 pieces of spicy tuna roll which was good but I prefer fresh sushi rolls because seasoned sushi is generally not fresh. - Creamy Scallop Maki Roll: Like other rolls, this was heavily sauced, masking the natural flavors of the scallop and maybe the freshness. - Spider Roll: Deep fried crab roll. This was the most decent food we've ordered. Again, I don't prefer getting deep-fried or heavily seasoned rolls at a sushi restaurant because they don't use the freshest ingredients in those rolls. But this restaurant did not offer fresh rolls outside of their sashimi menu. - Complementary Appetizers (Creamy Udon and Miso Soup): udon noodles were also disappointingly brittle and were probably cooked way in advance. The miso soup was a typical out-of-box soup. - Hot Sake: this helped me gulp down low-grade sushi better. The cups were larger than the other places. Service: The staff provided attentive service, consistently refilling water and delivering food promptly. However, the payment process raised some red flags. They only accept Zelle, Venmo, or cash. For venmo, they request you to pay as "friends". Also the check came on a note that's illegible, making it harder to confirm what you ordered. Ambiance: The restaurant's atmosphere is probably the best thing out of this restaurant. It showcased owner's history with pictures and decorations. There were enough sushi counter seating and 8-10 tables. The tables were spaced out enough so that I didn't feel crowded. Overall, no I would never come back. Honestly, I don't know how they made it to must-visit sushi places in Seattle list. Save yourself a visit. read more

Toyoda Sushi - Sashimi dinner plate/ large - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Off the bat, Toyoda Sushi is pretty good, but it does cost a pretty penny. My wife and my jaw unhinged and dropped a bit when we saw the prices on the menu. We came to check this place out on a Friday afternoon, and the service was great. They were prompt and seated us immediately, and they quickly gave us menus and miso soup. But as mentioned earlier, it was hard to select what we wanted because the prices were pretty hefty. $32 for a bento box? $30+ for poke? Sure, it does sound like it comes with a lot of food options, but that's still pretty pricey. I would be expecting a hefty portion if I ordered them. My wife and I got: Spicy tuna bowl Spicy scallop maki Hamachi nigiri The spicy tuna bowl looked really small, and at a glance, I was already skeptical and disappointed. But the flavor was actually really solid and good, and it paired perfectly with a bowl of rice (which we had to pay extra for). Only qualm was that after finishing the bowl of rice, we still had a good chunk of tuna left, and it would cost additional money to get another bowl. Ooph The hamachi nigiri was solid. Nothing super special, but hats off to service for throwing in a few extra slices of hamachi! The scallop maki was full of flavor, but it was quite small. I was expecting large maki pieces with seaweed, but the individual rolls were small. Great flavor, but I felt like it was lacking in quantity. Overall, we payed $68 for a meal of two that left us wanting a bit more. But don't get me wrong - the flavors were there and it was definitely tasty. But let's just say our wallets were feeling much lighter after this meal while out stomachs were still grumbling. read more

This is one of the best sushi spots in seattle and manages to stay low key by only being open for 2 hours on 3 days of the week. When we were seated, we were given complimentary starters and soup. Everything we ordered was well worth the price, especially the rolls that had a really large filling to rice ratio. The interior is homey, but this would still make a good date night spot. read more

Ok it's been forever since I left a review but today I just had to. Food here is amazing and me and my wife get sashimi to go here when we wanna celebrate. They might have the best grade sashimi I had around here. But I usually keep our favorites a hush because this place is packed as is. Great ambiance too. And the reason I'm leaving this review is for their excellent service. I went there yesterday and left my bag. I didn't even notice it was gone but the server at Toyoda Sushi found my bag, saw my car insurance card (I was selling my car the same day so I had that in my bag) and saw the address, drove the bag to the address at night to return it to me. Would've called but didn't since phone number wasn't on the insurance card. I am blown away by the level of honesty and service, going out all the way to drive a lost item back to a customer is beyond my imagination. I can't thank them enough for doing this. read more

Toyoda Sushi in Lake City has such a low profile on the outside that it is so easy to miss it while driving on Lake City Way. Its signage isn't flashy and the place almost has a "hole-in-the-wall" kind of feel. The interior carries the same consistent feel and you know this place is all about the fundamentals. And the food did not disappoint. The complimentary miso soup and noodle salad were savory appetizers. The sashimi platter that included toro was fresh and delicious. Amaebi melted in our mouths and natto was perfectly done. Black cod kasuzuke was absolutely amazing and it was the closest thing to misoyaki butterfish (my absolute favorite in Hawaii). Hamachi and sake (salmon) were also wonderfully fresh. Service was great as well. Toyoda Sushi feels more like a Japanese friend's home, rather than a fancy Sushi bar. And I love it. It is one of our favorite sushi spots. read more

Went on a Sunday night right before they opened. It was really cold so it was nice that they let us in a few minutes early. It was so nice to have been the first ones seated. It felt nice and warm inside. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. Looking at the menu, it was so odd because only after a week of visiting, the prices have gone up?? The sashimi plate definitely went up at least $10. I don't know if it's because the first time I visited was during a weeknight and this second visit was a weekend.. Anyway, we still ordered the sashimi plate because I really enjoyed it the first time. We also got the scallop maki and cod. Once we finished ordering, the lady server taking the order for my party of 4 says that the food my group ordered isn't enough! She said this multiple times not just once, and I had to tell her that that was all we are ordering. We will order more later if we want. Once our food arrived, it was even more disappointing.. not only did the price go up, the amount of fish was less too! There were definitely 4 pcs of shrimp in my sashimi plate during my first visit, but this time there was only 2.. and yes, we got the same size plate. There's visibly less fish in this plate compared to my first plate as pictured in my first review. Idk if this is the lady trying to prove us that our order isn't enough.. lol I will say that although there is less fish, the quality is still amazing. Thank goodness! However, that alone isn't going to keep my rating at 5 stars.. I'm able to give it 1 star for the quality it deserves.. but everything else was sadly disappointing. In fact, the night ended with even more inconsistency. Our check included tips already! In my first visit a week before, the tips wasn't included! Truly brokenhearted in this 2nd visit.. I was so happy to have visited this place the first time that I went back again after just a week, but after this 2nd visit i'm sad to say that it may as well be my last.. Don't see myself going back here anytime soon. read more

The rolls and the nigiris we ordered had very good fish to rice ratio, probably the best I've seen in awhile! The fish was fresh and the sushi rice was good. But the price was not for the faint of heart! I would recommend getting the Rainbow Futomaki if you want the most bang for your buck, and highly recommend the spicy scallop. But honestly everything we ordered was really good! This place only takes CASH, VENMO, or ZELLE. The server will check your phone before you leave. They're only open Thurs-Sun from 5:00pm to 7:30pm. The seating system was a mess. We got there at 5:30pm and wrote our name on the list (the list was a mess, you can't tell who got seated and who didn't. the lady that was seating people was calling people out of order so a lot of us had to wait longer than we're supposed to). We were seated at 6:15pm and our food came out around 6:50pm. We weren't given chopsticks or napkins so we had to fetch it ourselves (service was not great) MAKE SURE TO STAY IN THE RESTAURANT AFTER YOU PUT YOUR NAME DOWN. The lady will call names down the list and if you're standing outside then you won't hear her and she will seat someone else that's after you. read more
