TORO has become one of our absolute favorite spots, and that's thanks to the entire team. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and attentive, and they consistently seat us at our favorite table, which makes every visit feel special. A huge shout-out to Yanda, who has been our server for almost a year now. She's consistently friendly, professional, and remembers all the little details that make the experience great. Her service is truly exceptional. The atmosphere is wonderful, the food is always on point, and the staff makes every visit feel like coming home. Highly recommend! read more

So I'll preface this with it was a last minute I'm craving sushi and noodles situation we asked a friend and they recommended. Overall things were pretty good, cute place with a friendly atmosphere and attentive staff which is always a big plus. Food was decent but not amazing and did the job of satisfying our cravings to a point. Chicken pad Thai for the table was a surprising favorite along with the shu mai and mei fun noodles (add spicy). The sushi rolls were good, not exceptionally great but good. All in all it was ok but I can not say it would be my first choice when looking for sushi next. read more

Just ordered take out one hibachi dinner and four sushi rolls for $80. (Which wouldn't be bad, if it wasn't so bad. This place used to have great sushi. It is not even as good as the grocery store sushi from the grocery store in the same shopping plaza. The fish/eel seemed less than fresh and in the shrimp tempura roll the tempuraed shrimp seemed like it had been sitting around at the bottom of a fry basket all day. Look I hate to see this place go down hill so much, but save your money. You'll be happy you did. The sushi scene in Newtown is beat. If you are really in the mood go spots in other towns. Southbury and Brookfield have some better choices. read more

When Toro first came to town they started with a bang. Top grade seafood, great cuts of beef and all systems were go. As with many restaurant startups the quality of supplies have a direct correlation to margins. As margins got thinner as their capital evaporated the supply quality rolled back and the customer experience became only mediocre at best. The hibachi tables seemed to be strictly a weekend treat and then slower. Luncheon service slugged along both upstairs and downstairs. For a while I enjoyed the Shushi Bar and watched the fish cuts get smaller and smaller. Their ginger salad was good. Cold and ample dressing. Once that wore off I bounced. Back to my roots, Bethel's House of Yoshida. Toshi & Aoki kill it over there. Not overstaffed they have excellent fresh fish and awesome dish specialities. Go there! read more

OMG! Eaten here forever. Tonight order take out and found a dirty band-aid in our soup. After eating half of it!!! Call them and they deny it. I have been ordering.

Beware!! read more

I haven't been back to Toro in over a decade. In the past I liked being able to have some General Tsos and Sushi in the same meal. Service is very prompt and attentive. We came here on a Saturday night and the restaurant was about 2/3 full. It's a very big restaurant. We ordered a few dishes. Fried rice, Love boat, and a kids hibachi meal. The hibachi and the fried rice was great. The sushi? I have to say was pretty below my expectations. Presentation wise it was fine. But the fish quality was just not there for me. The rolls were okay. I think the next time I come back I will stick with the Chinese and the Hibachi options. read more

Wonderful food and a great service. The hibachi chef was entertaining and kept us engaged. I heavily recommend the Fried Rice and Crispy Thai Shrimp Roll read more

I am sad to leave a negative review as we have had many good meals here in the past. However, we had a bad experience recently. I called the restaurant first to see if they could make it right and they were rude, dismissive, defensive and offered nothing to make it right leaving me no choice but to leave a review here. First, my husbands eel sushi was bad, he had to spit it out. We've had it many times and this was not good. Instead of being offered a refund, I was told their food is fresh. We were wrong. Additionally, my mother and I have celiacs disease and were sick the whole next day. We spoke to them Making the order about the allergy and were assured everything was ok. Since we were both sick, and both had sushi, we must have had gluten in the sushi. They said it was nothing, they don't know what to say, maybe we ate something else that made us sick. I've been gluten poisoned at restaurants before and when I offer a complaint, they never question me and usually offer a refund and apology. She told me I was wrong and "sorry you got sick." After saying, you might loose my business, you're doing little to regain my trust-- she dismissed the comment and said we must have had something else. So disappointing to see a restaurant not take ownership of their mistake. I don't love leaving a negative review as I have great respect for the work and talent in a kitchen, but the restaurant should also offer the same respect back to their customers. Especially when I gave them the courtesy of fixing it themselves first! read more

In the past I have ordered out from this restaurant and this time was the first time indoor dining which was a very positive experience. I enjoyed my platter which was tuna which consisted of sashimi, rolls and tuna on a bed of rice. The Tuna was fresh definitely a party in my mouth so delicious. It was complemented with a dry bottle of sake which was just lovely bringing out the taste of the tuna. The dish came with basic salad that was just fine The service was quite nice a very nice environment to dine with family. read more

I love toros Yelp had a pic of a fly on the chicken lo mein and left it there Who knows if this girl didn't put it there It should be removed I have been eating at Toro for many many years. I've never seen anything like this. I think it's a disgrace and they should have it removed. And never put it there in the first place I can't believe that they did this. There is no real proof that this is true disgracefu Ok I just otders large order And I hated my food so now I'm wondering I think after this I'm done Spent so much money never again read more

My how the mighty have fallen. Bland and Chinese food typically don't mix unless of course you visit Toro. So disappointed tonight by what they allowed to leave their establishment. Don't waste your time, I certainly won't in the future. Toro inspires me to watch videos and cook on my own. Next time, I'll make the drive to Monroe and Xiang Chinese Kitchen. read more

Toro Restaurant - Red Dragon Roll, Dancing Roll, Kenny Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll Some of the freshest sushi I've had in a bit. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

We went early to eat here and were happy with the quality of the fish it was fresh and tasted great. The reception or hostess lacked serious customer service and basically snarled as we walked in. The waitress we had was very attentive and got our food to us quickly. All of the sushi we tried was great very fresh and good flavor. We sat right near the sushi bar that had over four men preparing fresh sushi and it was fun to see. The decor is a bit run down and the lighting is a bit dim for the restaurant. They offer hibachi upstairs which we didn't try and hot food is offered as well. We will Be back. Ext time or may just try it all via take out. Seems to be a converted house that u Is now used as a restaurant. Parking is limited but available all around property They do take credit cards read more

So I just wanted to say how amazing the food is at this restaurant! WE've alway done takeout out orders and always would get the Thai food. One evening, my best friend and I decided to go out to dinner at the restaurant. It was our first time, so we are trying to find the front door, lol. We went in and were led to our tables. The servers were pretty good and the food was amazing! I tried the sushi and wow, I would totally come back for the sushi! But as my best friend and I were eating, I noticed a few servers and host (Who weren't busy) were just standing around and talking near by our table. And we could hear their casual conversation. It's great to chat with your coworkers, but I just felt uncomfortable having them near by just standing around doing nothing. They honestly shouldn't be just standing around chatting near the guests that they are serving, but should take their chatting to the back or in the kitchen (That's what we do at the kitchen I work at a senior home). So that's pretty much the only thing that bugs me and I would totally come back...Sushi but maybe just stick to take out order for a little while. Otherwise than that, food is amazing and I just wanted to post up a picture of the sushi that I ate. read more

Toro Restaurant - The Crab Rangoon (in the background) was amazing and the sushi platter is something that I would get again and again! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

The Best Chinese Restaurant in the entire Area. A real eat in restaurant which are very rare is always spotless and modern fresh decor. Even the bathrooms are like a 5 star hotel. As for the food the sushi is always fresh and the rolls are beautifully prepared by real sushi sheds. The fried rice is the best around , the lunches are great and menu is both Chinese and Japanese with many Japanese dishes like tempura etc there is also an upstairs habachi area that is busy and reservations on weekends is helpful. The service is very attentive and the food comes out quick. I travel 20 min to go there and would rather drive the extra distance then settle for any other restaurant. Highly recommended read more

it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the steak and shrimp combo, and both were cooked to perfection. The steak was tender and juicy, and the shrimp had a wonderful flavor that was enhanced by the garlic butter. The fried rice was some of the best I've had, with just the right amount of seasoning. Even the veggies, often an afterthought at other places, were fresh and flavorful. The portions were generous, and I left feeling completely satisfied. The service was also top-notch--our server was attentive and made sure our drinks were always full, and the chef was happy to accommodate a few special requests. read more

Toro Restaurant - King of the Roll Galaxy Roll Yummy Yummy Roll Red Tiger Roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

Been eating here since the day they opened. At one point we were coming pretty much every Saturday for lunch. Probably spent thousands here. We only come for lunch because of the better prices. When a waiter charged us dinner price for something we ordered off the lunch menu at 12 noon, they refused to fix the bill. Never experienced anything like that before anywhere. Very disappointed and won't be back. read more

The food is excellent. It's so fresh and flavorful. The staff is wonderful and attentive. Favorite restaurant

I have eaten here for the past 10 years and I used to love it; I can no longer recommend take out it was horrible for the past three time that we got it. Spending about 100 to 170 each time on it for my large family. The flavors were horrible almost "chemical tasting" and not just to me but to 5 people it tasted off each time. Some dishes with no flavor at all or very dry. Yukie!! We order items like the lo mein, hibachi noodles, udon, and different kinds of fried rice. We are done with this place and now go to sweet mango or new wok. read more

Go upstairs to see the show! The hibachi chefs are talented and entertaining. They flip bits of zucchini and shoot saki into your mouth from 4 feet away. They make a flaming onion ring volcano on the grill. They flip spatulas, forks, and knives around (and hardly ever drop one). It's a fun environment! We ordered some sushi and sashimi rolls too. This place is our go-to for family birthday dinners. They were super accommodating when we brought ice cream cake for our celebration. read more

Yummy yummy! We had the sushi and the noodle soups everything was fabulous! It's must try

Take out tonight!!! But needed Real Great Food. I've missed this Gem since they have opened. Tonight was worth the wait. Just look at the photos. Lovely smart Woman strong Business. Beautiful place to make Big Life Choices. read more

Came in on a Friday night for a 6:30 PM reservation. The host who greeted us was very friendly and bought our party to a table in the back. The dining room was pretty crowded, although service still remained pretty fast. We received our drinks within 2 minutes of ordering, and ordered a Mai Tai, One Night in Tokyo, and a Ruby Foo. Drinks were all solid, and came in hefty pours. For food, we ordered the fried calamari asian style, fried dumplings, yellowtail jalapeño, sesame chicken , salmon teriyaki, and a Crazy Roll to share. I was pleasantly surprised by the Chinese dishes (I have found that the quality of food has been dropping at Chinese takeout restaurants around the area), and found the fish in the sushi to be very fresh. Overall, I will be returning soon. read more

Very good rolls. Excellent quality. Had spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and yellowtail. They brought a salad, too. Also good. Standard. Service was just okay. Waitress had no personality whatsoever. Just a bit workmanlike. read more

I went here with my friends, family, and French exchange students. We had an okay experience at best. It had started off well, we had gotten there a bit early and sat down at a hibachi table as we waited for our hibachi experience to finally start. Once it had started that was when it all went downhill. The soups that you get before the chef starts to cook your food, everyone had gotten one but one of my friends had UNCOOKED RICE in it for some reason? There's not supposed to be any rice in there. Once our hibachi chef had started to cook he burnt our rice, put way too much sauce on all of the food, and yet somehow all of the food was somewhat bland? And there were literal burnt marks on our rice?! The portions were INSANE. You either got half a plate full of whatever the chef was cooking or you barely got any food. and I'm not one to usually complain but this experience was horrible. And we also had to remind our chef to pour the water in our mouths and fling the vegetables into our mouths as well. The sauces were non existent. One of the servers was making fun of one of our French exchange students accent. And also these complaints aren't only coming from us, but also from our friends who went this weekend and said the same things. The food was mediocre at best. The service wasn't that good. read more

I went in for lunch for the first time to meet up with a friend. We had a nice lunch there. The waitress was very kind. I then placed an order to go for dinner for my children. I live 25 minutes away from Toro in Newtown. Once I arrived home, I opened up the container of lo mein to serve to my children. This is when I spotted this big green black fly. I called the restaurant immediately and had absolutely no remorse. The woman who first answered passed the phone to the head guy of the restaurant. Didn't catch his name because he never presented himself. I explained to him the situation and he first said that he'll give me a refund.. then afterwards he said he'll have the owner call me tomorrow because he can't refund it. I can't understand why he can't refund it. This was meant for my toddlers to eat, now I have to go out of my way with two overtired toddlers to look for food. This restaurant lacks empathy and professionalism. I can't even comprehend how the chefs didn't notice this. They truly don't care about their costumers and are clearly not clean. read more

Ordered General Tso shrimp and wonton soup to pick up. The wonton soup smelled revolting, almost like bleach. It went straight in the trash. The shrimp was tough and rubbery and the sauce had a weird undertaste. The only thing edible was the rice. I've never been a fan of Toro's Chinese dishes but thought I'd give it another try as my favorite Newtown Chinese restaurant is closed on Mondays. I have, however, had a pleasant experience in the past with their hibachi and sushi. read more

I really like this place. Whether it's sushi or hibachi or whatever my kids eat, it's all good. 5-stars. Now with that out of the way, I have to take a dimwit reviewer to task; she gave the place a two star review, mainly based on the fact that her boyfriend EDIT ahem, fiancé ordered a Budweiser and they brought him a Bud light. And she said that Bud light gives him a headache. How could there possibly be any difference between the two beers to the point where one would give the man a headache and one wouldn't? Some people.... And for God's sake..you're at Toro. How about you go native and order a Sapporo or an Asahi??? Get some class/try something new, LOL. When I see moronic reviews for legit, hardworking businesses, I gotta go in and spread some truth and offset their bad reviews. The place is pretty awesome, IMO. read more

Came in for hibachi for the first time to our surprise they have hibachi located upstairs only. My wife had knee surgery and can't use stairs. We sat on main level, and ordered filet hibachi dinner. They brought out the toughest piece of steak ever!! Not filet! The dressing for the salad was to strong of ginger taste, And we didn't eat it. We ordered California roll and they were great as well as the spring rolls. I ordered vegetable hibachi and it was swimming in a teriyaki soup. It was not good. We got a to go box and it will end up in the garbage. Probably will never come here again. Atmosphere was nice however, but the food was not. read more

Dining and take from here for 15 years, sushi, Chinese and hibachi. Always has been tasty, many unique items, clean! Truly am a regular, and truly get take out monthly at least 6+ days and take in dinner at least 3nights...so we know the menu and food well. To say our last dinner taken home of 3 different dishes was underrated is understated. Flavorless chow fen, moo shu was a pile of flavorless cabbage and barely anything else. Appetizers were blah, soups (3 varieties) were standard. Don't know if they got a new kitchen staff. Summer staffing? We'll think about expanding our distance of where to go next. read more

Great sushi and sashimi... mixed review on other "Asian" or "oriental" dishes - depending on what you order. Probably worst Pad Thai I've ever had... but have had other Chinese dishes that were good. I keep going back but for the sushi only. If I were to rate this on the sushi, atmosphere (average) and service I'd give it a 3.7... as a sushi bar / restaurant, I'd give it a 3 star as a mixed oriental / Asian restaurant. BTW - ordered here during Covid almost weekly... all of a sudden they stopped deliveries even though I've had scores of deliveries in the past. What doesn't make sense is they deliver to "Newtown" and I am literally less than 2 miles outside Sandy Hook which is Newtown yet they will deliver 15 miles or more to the other side of Newtown... makes no sense. When I explained this to the manager, they said "sorry - outside Newtown". Now I use other delivery services but take my business elsewhere. The food just ain't that great to overcome the delivery shortfall. read more

Decided it was time to update my review. I read my old review and nothing has changed. I ordered the chicken with string beans, which was flavorless chicken and steamed string beans when I expected the beans to be sautéed. The wontons in the wonton soup had a pasty texture, but the flavor was good. Toro has never been my first choice or even the second choice for Chinese food but with this last trip, my wife and I agreed we have to take this place off the list. read more

Ordered from here months ago and was disappointed. Thought I'd give it one last try today and ordered Shredded beef Szechuan. It was tasteless with no spice at all. The rice had more flavor. My husband had teriyaki chicken and also said it was flavorless. We won't be back. read more

They used to be better, but unfortunately there aren't many good options in the area. We order out quite often and today the sushi looked really unappetizing, and that's one food you don't want to look gross. The avocado was brown in so many areas and they tried to conceal it with the fish, but some areas were still exposed. It really was not something you were excited to dig into after removing all the rotted strings of avocado.... it just felt cheap read more

The lady that answers the phone is extremely rude and runs me over. Doesn't let me talk and acts like she is in a rush. I had never been here before coming from Danbury Asian food is my favorite food. I have eaten a lot of different places over Connecticut I got to this restaurant and it was desolate. I went inside. And got dirty. Looks immediately even at the counter. I had just got there. She tapped her nails very hard on the card reader to get my attention I asked her if there was duck sauce and utensils in the bag she said yes I went outside to eat I just worked all day and haven't eaten anything. There is no utensils no duck sauce and they forgot half of my order I waited patiently got my food, utensil, and duck sauce I went outside to eat I have to say this is probably the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I got a beef for snow, peas, and brown rice. The snow peas were mush. The beef had giant chunks of can't even chew and everything is so bland it is only texture, which is almost mush disappointed, considering that two eggrolls a meal and brown rice was over $30 then as I said outside, the workers are smoking marijuana and vaping. I wouldn't feed my dog with food highly recommend you stay away they even have fake reviews and that is why I tried in the first place read more

The restaurant is very nice inside and we were seated upstairs. The preparation was the standard "show" and the food was good. The portions weren't as huge as other places, but we still had some leftovers. I had heard it was really great, but I'd say that it was pretty good. Nothing really stood out to me to make this any different than any other place, but I'd you're in Newtown and are in the mood for sushi or hibachi, check it out. read more
