A few of my friends have been going on for months about some sushi place off Main Street that’s really good but annoyingly always has a huge line outside. On Sunday, one of them suggested we go there for dinner so I figured I should finally go see what all the fuss is about. The place is none other than Toshi Sushi.
We thought if we got there early, it would save us from having to wait in line. We arrived at about quarter to five only to find a line of about 15 people waiting for the restaurant to open at 5. It was actually kind of entertaining to watch bewildered passerbys look and wonder what all the fuss could be about.
I’m not going to go into minute detail about every aspect of the experience but I would say that overall I thought it was a good place and if I’m in the mood to wait in line I’d definitely go back. I was pretty happy to find that they had a natto roll, which I ordered, and it was quite tasty. I also ordered a cream cheese and green bean tempura roll (it originally had salmon in it but when I asked to get a vegetarian version they were very accommodating) which was quite good. The only thing is that half the roll had roe on it, so I gave that to my friend to eat. Next time I’ll have to remember to be very very specific and make sure they don’t put any roe/tobiko on my rolls. After that I was still hungry so I ordered a soy film and veggie roll which I actually didn’t care for too much. It was basically one of those overloading on the veggies rolls that just ends up tasting like crunchy water in rice (blaaaaand). Overall though the sushi was good. The service was great, they were always refilling our teas and waters, and the waitresses were super friendly and chatty. This is definitely a good place to go if one is missing Japan, it’s got an authentic Japanese atmosphere to it which is nice.
