    Rotten fish
    John S.

    Very disappointing experience. The food was not good at all -- we have mention the fish was smalls bad and it didn't taste fresh. Instead of addressing the issue, the owner was extremely rude and gave us the check right away, And refused to serve us even though we hadn't asked for it yet. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place.

    Chicken Karaage

    Food: delicious Service: great people Ambiance: authentic, our favorite vibe of the sushi spots in Healdsburg Everything we ordered was perfection! We loved the chicken karaage!! It was cooked perfectly and served in an eye appealing, art form!! Our sushi rolls were so dannnng good! we love this place!

    Edamame
    Amanda S.

    We went on a week night for dinner and got seated right away. We asked if they did sake bombs and got a very rude response so we just got beers. The edamame was very good. The rolls were just ok. Customer service wasn't that great but it's close to hotels and downtown.

    Love S.

    My favorite Sushi restaurant. Great service!!! Please come and enjoy and leave a review. What is your favorite - please share

    Spicy tuna with Mango on top

    Great service, came tonight Thursdays and our waitress was very nice. I had a tiger spicy tuna with mango added. Was delish! Wish I remembered the girls name, I didn't take my receipt but if I'm back in this area... I will return

    We love Toro and are here every chance we get. This has been our number one spot for years. The employees are all friendly, everything is always amazing every time we go.

    This is hands down our favorite sushi spot. The sushi is consistently delicious and beautifully presented, and every roll feels fresh and thoughtfully made. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. We live about 45 minutes away but we keep coming back because it never disappoints.

    Lovely little family run place, warm and inviting. The chefs are outstanding, and the service is spot on. The food is always fresh, never had a single "off" piece.

    Takeout dinner on a Monday? When most other spots in town are closed, Otoro is open and has you covered! The online order system is easy and our food was ready in 15 minutes! Woohoo! Our order -edamame -beef gyoza -spicy tuna roll - add crunch - love! -green dragon roll -big brother roll - my new fave! Love that their rolls are full of fresh fish, but are also a manageable size. Fresh, delicious, nutritious! Do it!

    Chef's Special Nigiri Moriawase 10 piece to go.
    Linda C.

    TLDR: I highly recommend the 10 piece chef's special. Situation: I don't know if it's because of the demographic of the area or that we're further from the city but it's been so hard to find a good sushi spot. Most of the sushi spots I've seen so far mainly offer rolls / Westernized. So when I saw Otoro had a 10 piece chef's choice for nigiri, I was excited to try it out. Experience: I was very impressed. The chef's choice was like an omakase quality selection. The fish was extremely fresh and delicious. I loved the variety too. I would say this particular order was comparable to those in the city. Why the chef's choice: The difference between the 10 piece chef's special nigiri moriawase and the 10 piece nigiri moriawase is that the chefs special is more fancy. For example it includes pieces like unni (yum), some of the pieces are charred or had fun toppings. It definitely makes the experience much more exciting. Space: I ordered over the phone and gave them my ETA. I got my order correctly and on time which was great. The space itself is pretty cozy. Location: I got a little lost finding Otoro since it's in a plaza with other businesses. The restaurant is located across from hardware stores in the yellow buildings. There's also a free parking lot space behind the restaurant too. A sign might be helpful! Feedback: I might be mistaken but two of my pieces might have been the same. I wasn't too upset because it was one of my favorite pieces but wish each piece was different. This is nitpicky but some of the slices could have been more even but sharing to make the whole presentation A+! I would also explain on the menu the difference between the regular and chef's special 10 piece. Luckily I had called in so learned about the difference. Also wish it was a few dollars less. (Everything was $40 post tax). Overall verdict: For Sonoma County and in comparison to other sushi spots here, the chef's selection was a solid 5 stars. I'm glad I don't need to wait until I visit the city again to find delicious nigiri. I would come back again, and hopefully with other people next time!

    Are soy wraps instead of nori available upon request? I love to accompany my sushi loving husband and want to do some rolls but I am not a fan of nori. I love it when I can choose the soy wrap option because I can participate with most of the menu.

    I would say call ahead to see if they have soy wraps available. We have never had an issue with customizing rolls to fit different tastes tho I've never gotten something soy wrapped to be honest. Cucumber wrapped yes, but the prior no haha.…

They had authentic wasabi and great ginger slices! We were seated in the back patio and it was enjoyable because it wasn't hot and there was plenty of shade from the Bamboo. Fried Calamari - 3/5 a bit dry but the sweet Thai aioli was interesting Geisha - 5/5 - Standard sushi roll 49er - 5/5 - my fave b/c of the refreshing lemon slice Carberator - 3.5/5 - just okay b/c I'm not the biggest fan of Tempura, we ordered it since it wasn't spicy for one of the members of my party to be able to enjoy and it was their favorite Snow White - 4/5 - a bit too saucy but great flavor ~~Parking: There's a dedicated parking lot that's pretty spacious, we didn't have any troubles finding parking. ~~Service: Good. All of the waitresses are super nice, though it can be a little difficult to get help from the back patio just due to not being within natural eyesight of them. ~~Best Part: 49er roll ~~Worst Part: Nothing. ~~Return: Yes

They were super friendly too. This is definitely my favorite sushi spot, even compared to all the spots in SF and the south bay. We sat outside on a sunny day and it had plenty of shade.

Highly recommend sharing the Goat Cheese Croquettes - bite sized balls of cheese goodness, drizzled with honey and lavender. Perfection! We always get at least one seasonal Garden Salad - light and fresh! And I tried a few different main courses over our visits - all inspired and delicious: +Bucatini Pasta with broccolini, sun-dried tomatoes, chanterelles, and pine nuts +Burger (it used to be a thick and rich burger with a bordelaise sauce, but over the summer it was more of a double smash burger with cheese...very Americana, and a little "lighter" than the previous option) +Roasted Mt Lassen Trout - light and clean +Tikka Masala - I ordered this comforting dish with tofu but friends ordered it with chicken. It's flavorful, and a beautiful, bountiful presentation. Barndiva is known for their cocktails. We like our go-to classic and mezcal margaritas, but have worked our way through some of their signature cocktails, always adorned with dried fruit and/or edible flowers! If you haven't visited recently, I do recommend giving them another try. If you can't get a reservation online, call - that's worked for us! Cheers.

    My 3500th Yelp review goes to...drumroll... Single Thread…read moreRestaurant and Farm in the beautiful town of Healdsburg, CA Our experience at SingleThread on 8/26/26 was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the service was exquisite--from the attentive wait staff to the incredibly knowledgeable sommelier. Our table was beautifully decorated with a centerpiece with branches and flowers and berries that created such a warm and intimate atmosphere--and that was just the beginning! We enjoyed an incredible @ 9-course meal (it was more like 20 IG you count each AMAZING morsel of sashimi) featuring so many unique and exotic varieties of fish, each course beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared. As a pescatarian, I requested that my entire experience be gluten-free and cheese-free, and the team accommodated my request flawlessly. I never felt like I was missing a thing; every dish was creative, flavorful, and beautifully executed! My favorites were the corn bisque and sashimi bites as well as the complex multilayer cucumber dish! I wish I could eat that every night! It was amazingggg Then came the perfect finale After our 9 courses, we were brought upstairs to the rooftop, where we enjoyed three or four different gluten-free desserts while taking in a breathtaking sunset and beautiful views of Healdsburg. It was such a magical way to end an already unforgettable evening. From the food and wine to the service, setting, and attention to every detail, SingleThread delivered an extraordinary experience from beginning to end. Truly a special and memorable evening. We were so lucky to get a reservation and enjoyed every moment of our three hour dinner! I highly recommend coming here when you're in Northern California! The staff is so kind and accommodating!!They will curate your meal around any food allergies or food intolerances. It was true gastronomic debauchery!

For…read morecontext, our party of four had dined at The French Laundry two days earlier, which may have heightened our expectations. That dinner was exceptional and showed us what truly outstanding hospitality can feel like. By comparison, our experience at SingleThread fell far short of the standard we expected from a restaurant of this caliber. The issues began as soon as we arrived. Despite several emails exchanged beforehand and repeated references to personalizing the experience, the staff initially got my name wrong. We were then directed to look through a small kitchen window without any explanation, context, or narrative about what we were seeing. After a few minutes, a small tea drink was served through the window, but we were then left standing in a cramped entry area for roughly 20 minutes with no meaningful interaction from the three people at the desk. During that time, we watched other parties arrive and be escorted elsewhere while no one checked in with us or explained the delay. Eventually, someone from the dining room asked whether we would like to be seated. By that point, I was already frustrated. Once seated, our server quickly described several small dishes arranged on a flower-and-moss-covered faux log, then left before we had any meaningful sense of the menu, the number of courses, or the direction of the meal. When the sommelier arrived and asked us to choose wine or pairings, I felt unable to make an informed decision because I did not know what food was coming. I ultimately chose the wine pairing simply because it seemed like the safest option given the lack of information. The service throughout the evening did not reflect what I would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. There was little storytelling, little hospitality, and very little sense that the experience was being guided with care. A server attempted to clear my plate while my fork and knife were still in my hands. Another server bumped a member of our party with a plate. Most concerning, the staff appeared to lose track of a guest's allergy and served me her plate instead. To be clear, we caught the mistake; the staff did not. That kind of lapse is difficult to overlook. We also consistently had difficulty hearing the descriptions of the dishes as they were presented, which further diminished the sense of connection to the meal. At a restaurant centered so heavily on the progression, story, and precision of each course, that lack of clear communication mattered. The food itself showed creativity, skill, and technique. There were several good courses, a few that felt unusual or less successful, and a couple of truly strong dishes, including the best duck I have had to date. Unfortunately, it was difficult to fully appreciate the food because the service failures were so distracting and so far below expectations. The one clear positive of the evening was the sommelier. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in discussing each pairing and in making recommendations to other members of our party. His service stood apart from the rest of the experience. We will not return. For us, the evening did not feel personal, polished, or worthy of the reputation attached to it. It felt like highly engineered cuisine paired with service that did not meet fine-dining standards. We left The French Laundry two nights earlier talking about every detail with admiration. We left SingleThread frustrated and deeply disappointed.
