    Miso soup and Cold noodle salad had pieces
    Onglee X.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent fish quality great staff, big pieces of fish. I love this place. Get there early. Not pictured but veggie tempura and black cod are incredible.

    Chefs assortment of nigiri and rolls

    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!

    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.

    Generous noodle salad and miso to start (7/10/24)

    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.

    Sushi Assortment
    Tiffany T.

    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.

    Smoked Salmon and cream cheese
    Kaley J.

    We got spicy tuna rolls, smoked salmon and cream cheese rolls And calamari, this is some of the best sushi I've ever had. There was a line before they even opened (good sign in my opinion) I'll be coming back that's for sure. Also everything is expensive now a days, when it comes to good sushi, it's worth it:)

    The sit down area is quite large

    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.

    Vegetable tempura
    Mar K.

    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.

    Sashimi set
    Vickie Y.

    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!

    Scallop Maki (-$20)
    Yin K.

    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.

    The sushi pieces were huge and filled with quality fish! You're really getting your money worth here. 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.
