Toshi Sushi

Toshi Sushi is good, but certainly not the best Sushi Restuarant I've been to. It's close to me (within walking distance from my home) so that's why it's my Sushi of choice. The quality is good but not super. The prices are epensive (like most sushi) but not overly expensive. The decor, as everyone says, is excellent. The one thing I must object to are the portions. Toshi Sushi's portions are simply too small - so you have to order more. It's tasty to do so, but can make your wallet hurt in the end. I'm looking for other places in the Bay Area that may be better.

One of the best Japanese Restaurants in the Bay Area. Th "box lunches" are wonderful and very reasonable. Toshi designed and built most all of the gorgeous interior, which, like the food they serve, is truly traditional Japanese faire. All the sushi chegs are imported from Japan with a minimum of seven years training. It shows.

Small restaurant in the Monclair area. Sushi was very good - well flavored and fresh. A warning - because the sushi was authentic, some diners may feel the pieces are "small". The new "discount" sushi places you see popping up have giant pieces of sushi, not what you would find in Japan, and quality of the fish is lower. I prefer Toshi Sushi's approach. There are a great variety of non-sushi dishes, many of which you do not see in larger restaurants, which I find a great feature. The non-sushi dishes were priced higher than restaurants in Berkeley - the upscale neighborhood seems to support a higher pricing structure here. Service was excellent - water and tea were constantly refilled, waiter checked in with us at least three times, which is impressive. Lastly - check out the decor - very understated and there is a huge temple lantern right suspended over the doorway which is the largest I have seen outside Japan.
