We went here at peak dining time a couple of days after Christmas so it was pretty busy. Our server…read morewas pleasant and got our order right however we had to wait at least 10 minutes to have her come back so we could ask for water for the table. The mixed veggie tempura roll in the sauce on it was delicious. The bento box was a very good value. It came with a side salad. However, I was disappointed that there wasn't any sauce for the Gyoza or tempura the fish was fresh! However, their seaweed salad was just.ehh.

By far the best sushi restaurant in Kalamazoo. My husband…read moreand I have tried many sushi restaurants throughout Michigan but this one definitely adds to the top of the list. To get started we ordered gyoza as an appetizer My husband asked asked the waitress for her recommendations She recommended the tornado in the firecracker along with the 911 for spice. I got the special California roll along with the Michigan roll and I loved every single bite! The gyoza was also phenomenal. Our waitress was super friendly and on point at all times we spent 67$ for 4 rolls of sushi. The owner (Tony) is usually also working there and being hands on with his staff which is fantastic to see such a supportive boss. It was a busy night for them and they were always on point we waited about 20-25 minutes which isn't bad considering the amount of people there. We will being going back.

Updated review- 10 years on, still our favorite sushi place! We even had a small reception/ lunch…read morehere following our wedding ceremony, it's really our favorite! I've never had anything bad here. They have plenty of non- sushi options, so you can bring a group including people who don't do sushi. The magic salmon roll has always been my favorite and i like trying the special rolls they feature too. They have a lunch menu and do plenty of take out- really a great choice for ordering takeout ahead. This is a family-owned business and you will often see the whole family there- I feel like I've watched their daughters grow up through the years of getting my sushi fix! So just know that you're getting not only great food at reasonable prices, you're also supporting a great local business.

We made reservations for 6:30 and we had our entire order in by 6:37. Our appetizer was crab…read morerangoon was amazing, however, our main meal wasn't served to us until 7:40. I had the firecracker shrimp and I could tell it was under a heat lamp for at least a half hour. The greens were completely warm and slimy, the fried part of the dish was completely soggy. It would have been really good if it was served in a timely manner. The waitress took the appetizer and the dessert off the bill, however, we were late for a show we were attending and didn't get out of there until after 8pm. The waitress, Brianna?, apologized all over the place, but we'll never get our wasted time back. Next time, I'll get up and leave or get carry out.

I'm glad they were open a little later than average. I was delighted to eat a smoked brisket burger. That thing must've been 6 inches high. It was a monster. My sweetie loved the fish tacos. They have an amazing wasabi, mayo sauce that goes with them. The middles split a prime rib Mac and cheese. They described it as "real American food" with a smile and a twinkle in their eye. That means it's delicious. It's actually a bacon prime rib, mac & cheese, and they don't even mention the bacon because the prime rib is so good. Very filling. I took a sample and it is probably the best tasting meat augmented mac & cheese I've ever tasted. The smokiness just does something amazing there. I like the background music. I like the barn, Midwest, rustic ambience. It was a delicious experience. I had to share about it online with some Japanese folks because of their recent enthusiasm for American "cheese violence". I asked if that magnificent burger qualifies as "meat violence".

I finally decided to try the Chubby Trout tonight…read more I was greeted by a couple of friendly and smiling faces at the door. I was Seated right away and introduced to my waitress, Taylor, immediately. Taylor deserves special accolades. She was so friendly and caring; she made my dining experience special. Thank you Taylor!! Taylor was awesome; she was friendly, always checking on me and sincerely concerned about my satisfaction. She was willing to do anything to make things right if I wasn't happy with something. First I ordered the Crab Cakes as an appetizer. Then I ordered off the specials menu; a Japanese spiced Branzino dish. The crab cakes were somewhat disappointing. Mostly filler and not much crab taste. Sometimes the taste actually resembled a tuna fish sandwich. The remoulade sauce that came with the crab cakes was really tasty. I wasn't really happy with the branzino dish. The fish was cooked pretty well, but "in my opinion" It had too much seasoning and the seasoning had an off flavor. Could just be my personal tastes. The restaurant has a lot of seating, little nooks and corners and a bar with seating. Plenty of quiet areas and areas to gather as a large group as well. Even though I didn't have great food choices today; I'm pretty sure while I'm in town this weekend, I'll go back and try some different dishes. See you all soon!!

Food is always amazing…read more The service is very good even when they are busy they still make sure everyone is taken care of. Their portions are well worth the price. The sushi rolls are not tiny like you see at some sushi restaurants and all of the hibachi meals that I have ever gotten here have been more than enough for myself and I usually end up taking some home.

It's definitely more of a fun and tropical American style roll but delicious! We also got the Kiyomi fried rice. It has a lot of vegetables which was nice. I loved the zucchini and squash. It tasted like really good hibachi. The shrimp had great flavor too and the chicken was tender. My husband had two tuna sushi (nigiri) and thought it was decent. We can't remember the name of the role my husband got, but it had spicy tuna on top. He enjoyed it. We both could only eat about half of our rolls because they were so giant. This is the best restaurant in Syracuse I'd say and I was very pleasantly surprised. I wish I took a picture before eating most of the fried rice but I honestly wasn't expecting everything to be so good!

This time I brought the family. Everyone loved their meals. Chicken katsu, teriyaki tofu bento box, and hot put with udon. I went with my old reliable a sushi deluxe meal and the Alaska roll. The Alaska roll is weird but delicious. Who would think that baked mozzarella would be good in a sushi roll. Everything was delicious and service was great. Love the special creamy ginger salad dressing too.

Read the menu carefully…read more I ordered the Spicy Salmon Hand Roll thinking it was the Spicy Salmon Roll (which is in the Hand Roll section) - same price. I left and went home and didn't realize I got the Spicy Salmon Hand Roll (a wrapper cone with the salmon inside; doesn't have rice). Called thinking they had made a mistake and explained to the owner who then comped me. The owner calls back and then explains that because it was my fault they wouldn't comp me. I called again after reviewing their online menu to confirm and explain how it was confusing and was offered to be comped after I pointed out a price difference. I declined as I probably won't be back. Just felt like the manager/owner could have at least sympathized with having to drive 20 minutes there/back again ‍

Such a cool spot!…read more We visited Toba on a recent Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised by this cute little spot! The menu is lengthy with so many options to choose from! We were a little overwhelmed by the choices at first, but we quickly decided to try several different things to get a better idea of the flavors and what we might like best! We started with a house salad, which was so delicious! Fresh, yummy ingredients with a truly delightful ginger dressing! Hugh flavor! Next we ordered the Gyoza - this dish was AMAZING! The dumplings were perfectly cooked and served with a delicious traditional dipping sauce. Also included was a garnish slaw with a spicy mayo dressing - this complimented the dish SO well. This dish was honestly our favorite part of our entire visit and we highly recommend!! Of course we had to try a sushi burrito which is possibly their most unique offering! I've never heard of sushi in a burrito form before Toba, what a great idea!! It's basically a giant, handheld, wrapped up piece of sushi! We chose the Toba Burrito with steamed shrimp, shrimp tempura, spicy crab salad, avocado, tempura flakes, eel sauce, and spicy mayo. This was a delicious combination! Because it's in a burrito the ingredients are thicker compared to sushi, and you can taste each addition better, but my husband and I both agreed that while this was a very fun item to try, we prefer the regular sushi rolls to the burrito. Smaller bites of each combo of flavors is our preference. :) We also got a K-zoo sushi roll which was delicious but not as chilled as I expected it to be. These pieces were large, (bigger than a one bite piece of sushi) but packed with quality, fresh ingredients with really great flavors!! My husband and I both ordered a cup of tea, both were delicious and perfect for a cloudy, rainy day!! There are several options to choose from, we asked our waiter for further explanation and recommendations. :) There are so many more options to try at Toba - we will definitely be back to try more things, the ramen for one! :) The service at Toba was excellent! Our server was very attentive and helpful! Our order arrived very quickly and in perfect stages since we tried so many different things! The atmosphere is modern and seating is consolidated to a fairly small area. We were seated in the cutest front booth, right in the window. Best seat in the house, I'd say! Kalamazoo is beaming with great foodie spots! Toba is a great addition to the downtown scene!! :)
