With the skilled cut and flavor combination, it tastes like straight up cold butter which felt illegal. Not fishy at all. Just butter wow Salmon**- simple and delicious. We liked the fresh better than seared today. Scallops*- fresh and sweet! From Japan Seared Black cod*- so soft and buttery. Tastes special. Yum! Side note: their spicy mayo is really good. I'm getting sesame oil notes on it which really amps up the flavor! Seared Mackerel - not as buttery as the jack variety, firm and fishier Red Shrimp - fresh and tasty, but the texture was firm, maybe I'll try a different variety next time Matcha Mont Blanc - Nutty, creamy, and mild, much more chestnut taste than matcha. It's good! Service is nice, and even if there's a wait, it's nice to put your number and shop around.

This place obviously has regulars who know Chef Taka & were really having a great time with him. Chef Brian served us the most perfect bites of ridiculously fresh fish. Some of my fave sushi pieces were a torched salmon w/kelp, Spanish mackerel, uni, eel, & sweet shrimp. A tiny, molten hot chawanmushi had the most flavorful surprises within. And the broth made from the sweet shrimp head was liquid gold. A really nice finish to dinner was a little scoop of black sesame ice cream, included in the omakase. The perfect amount of food, & every bite was fantastic. Warm service, friendly faces, & easy parking made this an omakase I want to repeat often!

Sakae Sushi is also CASH ONLY! The menu is simple and we ordered a 10-piece and 16-piece mixed sushi boxes. You can designate what you want but I let them pick, which resulted in lots of futomaki and inari; next time I will specify what I like since I preferred the ebi and saba and would have liked to try some pieces of California roll. Nonetheless, the boxes came beautifully wrapped and their is something to be said about the simplicity of their sushi. Each piece was tasty and I appreciate quality sushi rice too. The experience was authentically Japanese for sure. Prices are not cheap but also not outrageously expensive. I think if this place has been around 64 years they know what they are doing!

Toshi Sushi in G-Town is old‑school excellence, the kind of classic seafood and sushi bar where…read moreChef Toshi's hospitality hits you first, the outstanding food hits you second, and the sake hits you third in the best possible way. "Old‑School Charm at its best, Big Flavor, and Toshi Running the Show" Walking into this Sushi spot feels like stepping into a time capsule of Japanese tradition, warm wood, calm energy, and that unmistakable "this place has stories" ambience. It's an old‑school sushi spot in every sense: no gimmicks, no trendy neon signs, just pure craftsmanship and a bar where Chef Toshi himself keeps the vibe social, friendly, and effortlessly smooth. The service is excellent, the kind where you're greeted, remembered, and taken care of without ever feeling rushed. Chef Toshi has that rare ability to run the bar, chat with guests, and still plate dishes so beautiful you start wondering if he has extra hands hidden somewhere. "Special thanks to the whole entire staff!" And the food? Oh yeah, my stomach had a field day. Highlights from our feast * Spicy tuna, bold, fresh, and the kind that makes you pause mid‑bite like "okay, this place is serious." * Hamachi, buttery, clean, and dangerously smooth. * Sashimi combination, a lineup of pristine cuts that look like they were plated by a sushi architect. * Sushi combination, true classic, balanced, and executed with that old‑school precision you only get from a seasoned chef. Thank you Toshi!! * Karaage with garlic, crispy, juicy, and scientifically engineered to disappear from the plate too fast. * Black cod -- A must try, so delicious! Omakase style, melt‑in‑your‑soul perfection. The kind of dish that makes you close your eyes for a second and pretend you're in a food heaven. So good! * Sake, Wow..so smooth, delicious, and the perfect companion to everything we ordered. Not too sweet, not too sharp, just right. So delicious and dangerous! "I love it!" Between the old‑school ambience, the excellent service, the special attention vibe thanks to Chef Toshi, and the outstanding food, Toshi Sushi is one of those Gardena gems that proves tradition still wins, especially when the sake is flowing and the black cod is life‑changing. "One bite at a time!" "I will definitely be coming back really soon!" Miguel C.

I really love this restaurant. The food is top notch and service is excellent. I haven't been here…read moreduring dinner hours but coming in for lunch, it hasn't been overly crowded and parking isn't a problem even though the lot isn't very big. They share the lot with a ramen shop and bar so I would think parking would be challenging at night. My wife ordered a lunch special that included tempura, chicken karaage, assorted rolls, and 3 pieces of nigiri sushi that was very reasonably priced. It also comes with an egg custard, salad and miso soup. I ordered an assortment of nigiri sushi that included salmon, tuna, sea urchin, mackerel, unagi and a negi toro hand roll. The sea urchin was some of the best I've ever had. The only one that disappointed me a bit was the hand roll. It wasn't bad but didn't match the level of the other sushi I ordered. Everything else was superb and we left very satisfied. I would come back more often but my wife always wants to try new places so it takes me a while to get back to places I really enjoyed previously. Hopefully, Toshi will be an exception so I can return very soon for another round of amazing sushi.

But what made the experience better was the service. The owner was there drinking sake with friends, offering everyone a shot. Needless to say, my wife was very happy with the vibe.

But my instincts were right because the service was absolutely poor from the beginning, and we were the only ones in there, which made it worse. I tried to ask for suggestions, and she brushed me off and didn't provide any answers. Then, when I kindly informed her I didn't like my chicken, as you can see it doesn't look good at all, she looked down at me rudely, then back at the chef and spoke to him, then minutes begrudgingly later took the food. I was almost scared to eat the new plate as I felt like it was tampered with or something. I wished this place was better, but it definitely will not be seeing me or anyone I know again.

I still had some leftovers, though. sashimi were thick cut pieces, needed 2 bites per piece to eat. beef teriyaki: get it. even if you JUST get this, get it. I knew something was up when my mom AND sister both ordered some kind of combo, but my sister called dibs on my mom's as soon as she said she was going to order it. this led me to ordering my own beef teriyaki combo. oyakodon was classic and hit everything just right, the cheapest of the entrees but just as filling. love it here!! will be back soon

The wife and I checked this place out recently. I ordered the tempura and beef combination while…read moreshe got the tempura and sashimi combination. I got to try items from not only my plate, but hers as well. The food was hit and miss. The beef teriyaki, which they cooked exactly to the doneness I requested, was incredibly good. The steak was tender - the teriyaki sauce was spot on. I also liked the macaroni salad which was hiding behind the lettuce. However, the sashimi and tempura missed the mark. While the slices of sashimi (e.g., tuna, salmon, and yellow tail) were fresh, they were cut way too thick. The assortment of tempura tasted good, and was crunchy, but was battered way too heavily. It felt like the batter was the focal point of the dish instead of the vegetables and shrimp, which I could barely taste. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive even though the restaurant was packed with people. The food and drinks came out fast. They served our sodas in chilled mugs, which was a nice touch. I didn't enjoy the fact that it was uncomfortably warm in the restaurant (it was hot that day). I don't think the AC was running. However, I won't count this against the establishment since the server stopped by our table to apologize about the warm temperature in the room. Some final thoughts about this place. -We came right at opening. The place filled up pretty fast. -There was plenty of parking behind the restaurant. -If this restaurant had executed the small things more effectively, as opposed to focusing on preparing the food quickly, this could have easily been a five star write up.
