Food is great, slightly overpriced. Service is horrible. There were maybe 3-4 tables in the restaurant and we ended up waiting over 30 minutes for 2 uncooked rolls and an appetizer... on top of that, we never got our appetizer. We got our rolls before our appetizer but at that point we just canceled it and the server looked surprised as if he forgot about our appetizer. At a point during the shift, all workers went to the back for some odd reason... I could only assume what they were doing mid shift(taking shots).... Definitely recommend only take out or not going at all. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant pn the way to San Luis Obispo. It's a cute, nicely spaced restaurant! We ordered the lunch special which is two rolls for $16. We ordered the Heart Attack and Santa Margarita rolls. They were good! I believe we liked the Santa Margarita more. The service was quick and easy. Ambiance is good, my boyfriend enjoyed the music they were playing. read more

Toshi 1.0 - Jenna - Japanese Near Me - Atascadero, California

So this used to be my go to place over a decade ago when Jon and Noel ran the place. I went in at least once a week, and sometimes more. Recently I wasn't able to get to nogis, and decided I'd try my old haunt instead. Bad move. My salmon skin roll was tough and chewy. My hamachi nigiri was "off" and bitter. The rice was crunchy and undercooked. My baked scallop roll was a sad little roll with very few scallops and barely browned on top. The geisha roll was decent, and the only good thing in the meal. read more

Why did the sushi cross the road? Sushi could get to the other side. I just maki that up. Friends had mentioned that the old Toshi's is now named Toshi 1.0, and when driving by we saw a Change of Ownership notice in the front window and decided to revisit this Japanese/sushi eatery. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We started with a pot of Yamamotoyama green tea to decide what to try today. For our appetizers, we chose their Agedashi Tofu & Fried Avocado. Their preparation of the agedashi was different than others, but did not disappoint. The firm tofu's fried outer shell was crispy and wrapped with nori, while leaving a fluffy, pillowy inside. It was served in a delicious and somewhat delicate dashi broth garnished with bay scallops. A delicious, light savory dish. The Fried Avocado was a generous portion of crispy whole avocado filled with bay scallops and spicy crab which didn't have much kick to it. But, it was absolutely delicious. Trying to keep the carbs down, I ordered their Sashimi Bento as I didn't want a large amount of rice. The bento came with a salad, gyoza, edamame, four-piece California roll and six pieces of sashimi. Everything was fresh and delicious. The sashimi could have been cut a tad thicker, but it was very enjoyable. Their Sappa Roll consists of shrimp tempura, cream cheese & crab on the inside, topped with spicy tuna and wrapped in nori, then fried. The shrimp tempura ran the entire length of the roll, and blended tastefully with the cream cheese, krab and the spicy tuna topping. Frying the nori wrapped roll, gave it a crunchy finishing touch. I was told it was an appetizing, an excellent choice (I got two bites!). An enjoyable & satisfying meal. Come and enjoy the new Toshi 1.0! read more

Well, this was a nice little local sushi restaurant. The staff were pleasant and the food was good. My biggest complaint was that it took forever for our food to get to us. There were only 3 other tables in the restaurant with us and all told, from start to end, it took us 1.5 hours to order, eat, and pay. It shouldn't take that long but I suspect it was because they had a lot of to go orders. I observed a steady stream of customers picking up to go orders. This is great for the restaurant of course. There were 3 sushi chefs at the front so I was puzzled as to why it took so long for us to get the food. So, aside from the wait, if you are on a date, have good conversation ready to go, and want good sushi, this place is good. My coworker and I shared the following rolls, and they are ranked by my preference. :-) 1) Albacore Tataki 2) Central Coast 3) Blushing Dragon 4) Cherry Blossom read more

Awesome place. Great sushi and service. Nice small restaurant tasty food. Can't wait to go back.

Toshi's is always Amazing! When I think of Sushi there is only one place we can go. Rasa, Nate & the Big Lebowski make the most delicious rolls! Always fresh fish & adorned in the most unique ways.

Ugg another one bites the dust! Today I had to leave as there were two hairs in separate dishes! I am a frequent customer No more, this is what I noticed , a man preparing food in back with long beard no beard cover, the man with bun making sushi with bear hands no gloves I was hopeing for the best but could tell the vibes changed did not see any familiar faces lots of very young kids running around , our edame beans were cold , after a hair in edame beans , and another fried in cheese bombs we left sorry won't be back! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. This is our favorite restaurant and we come here more than we'd like to admit! The fish is fresh, the staff is the best, and the service is superb. My husband I regularly order 'trust me' rolls and they consistently deliver. They are SO talented and not only have a great menu, but are always willing to make you something you'd like. Rassa, Nate, Dante, Pi, Tony, Sky, and Trey are so wonderful, we consider them friends. Toshi's warm atmosphere and great vibes only hold a candle to their fresh fish, talented chefs, and fantastic food! read more

I was disappointed with half of my order. The food was okay. I was hungry and happily ate it but the quality and flavor didn't seem fair for the price. It's very close to my house so if I ate here again it would be out of convenience, not because it's better than others. read more

The food was amazing, I have been living on the central coast for 10 years and have never found a sushi spot that myself and my husband like. We are originally from SoCal so whenever we go to SoCal that's when we get out sushi fix in. This place was recommended to us last week so of course we had to try it and we were amazed. It's a cute little spot and the service was amazing. They are so accommodating and made us a salad with teriyaki chicken by request. The food was enough for this to be a hit spot moving forward. We will now be regulars read more

You may want to ignore my so so rating, I lived in Japan for several years and this is not a sushi bar. This is a sushi roll (maki) bar. The nigiri selection is poor, only the ingredients needed to make their wide selection of foo foo rolls. And they did not know what I said when I sat down and ordered hot tea (in Japanese). The rolls are highly Americanized, even to the point of using movie stars to name them. That all said I came to eat so I ordered one of their rolls. It tasted great. Not like sushi as there was so much sweetness from the multiple sauces with the roll, but shedding the intention to get sushi and accepting their interpretation of what the American pallet would want from maki, it was quite good. So if you are looking for trendy Americanized sushi rolls you may really enjoy this place. The people were really friendly. Oh don't order the hot tea. It's not hot and it's Oolong not Sencha, unless you like that. read more

Fresh and delicious, with a wonderful selection of specialty Sushi Rolls. Our host and server were very helpful in making our dining selections, and everything paired nicely with their Sake and beer selections. We didn't eat at the Sushi Bar, but definitely look forward to being there again. Was also extra fun having the Dodger game playing on their two tv sets, and with LOTS of rabid fans also watching. Highly recommend the Edamame, Seaweed Salad and Miso soup to start, and dove right in to their Hot Night, Central Coast, and Good Times Rolls, and all complimented by the Fried Rice and Lava Bowl (spicy Sashimi assortment). read more

I highly recommend the Super Nigiri Special! The food was really "oishi". The service was attentive and friendly. We will make this one of our local sushi favorites for sure! read more

Always good for family dinner. My family is very critical but never a complaint about toshi. They have delicious food even if you don't like sushi. My fav is the El Camino. read more

Nice spot to grab some fresh & tasty Japanese food. The sushi, ramen, udon, and tea were all excellent. Portion sizes are plentiful, so come prepared to leave very full. Very friendly staff & great service.. Be sure to say hello to Ken as you arrive for a table; he's a treat. read more

I've never been disappointed. The food always taste fresh, not fishy. Quick service, friendly staff; and a great sushi chef. The ambiences is small town artsy but still down to earth. They always have good music playing, and I always leave stuffed and satisfied. They have the sushi bar, and area seating. I'm a party of 5 and we've only had to wait a few minutes before they serve us, even when crowded, they manage to squeeze us in. I've been coming here for 3 years now. Highly recommend this place as it sits right of el Camino read more

Worst people I've ever had an interaction with. They were rude, mean and just plain unruly. They refused to sit me cause I asked how much it would be for 3 people. I am furious about their behavior. read more

I ordered the sashimi bento box. We came from 1.5 hours away. I loved it so much I wanted to take a plate home for my son. I let my server know the distance I'd be traveling & asked for a recommendation. He suggested a fried noodle plate because it was a hot day. Sushi needs to stay cold. It was a hit with my teen. Now he wants to come with me next time because he said if the noodles are that good the sushi must be "bomb". Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We will return many more times im read more

Decided to try this place out since I had never been here before and their menu sounded interesting. So the actual rolls overall tasted good, I really have no complaints on the taste. My only issue is the rolls are some of the smallest rolls I've ever seen. It's like gas station sushi size (not gas station taste though). For like 18 to 20 a roll I expected a little more fish in and on the rolls. Would love to return since the rolls I got I haven't seen anywhere else locally but man I cant justify the price for what you get. Just keep this in mind, if you have money to spend then this place is for you if not then there are better options. read more

Great place to stop in for lunch. They have some great lunch specials. It's a small place next to some other food options in a small plaza. Typical style of sushi rolls for this area. Portion and prices are also typical for the area. Service was friendly and prompt. Clean and casual restaurant. My family always enjoys the food here. read more

Go there at least 1x a week - sometimes 2 - I am a sashimi guy and my lady loves the udon - try the nacho tower - great app

The food is great. Service was painful. Came in 5:25pm. Waited 12 minutes for our drinks to finally show up by the busser. We were ready to order already. Meanwhile, 3 phone orders came in before our server came to get our order. She was so busy packing more to go orders. Finally our order goes in. We wait 40 minutes for 2 rolls. Ridiculous. Never checked on. I think she forgot to put in our third roll because we were long done and waiting for our third roll (another table seated about 15 minutes after us received all of their rolls...) before we got our third. No explanation or admitting it was forgotten just "thank you for waiting". The server was sweet and wanted to do her job well but didn't even notice my husband's soda was empty without me having to full 180 turn around and stare at her to get her to come over. Never checked on us to ask how it was. We got up to pay because we didn't want to wait another 390 minutes for the tab. We wanted a nice New Year's Eve sushi dinner and left super regretful. Sushi good. Service bad. I hate feeling neglected at a restaurant. I hate wasting my time. This is partially the server but also the restaurant because if she was so overly taxed with the number of tables (restaurant not even half full) then maybe you need more servers on shift. We live like 5 minutes from this restaurant and are super disappointed. I wish the servers were trained better and there were just more of them. Ambiance was okay. Music was a bit loud a k-pop-like but that's fine. Hopefully they can make changes so we will come back and find our new fav sushi spot. read more
