Came here tonight for dinner (Sunday night) and wasn't busy at all. Service was so fast and they're very friendly as well. The food was so delicious and fresh. I honestly can't wait to come here again when I'm in the Gardena area! read more

I've been living in the South Bay for over 22 years! Toshi Sushi is unmatched!! It is the BEST sushi restaurant! The quality fresh it's real sushi not fake! The toro is like butter it just melts in your mouth! Portion sizes are generous and Toshi the Chef is the friendliest I have met! This place is a true gem!! Plenty of seating and such a comfortable environment!! I just love this spot! read more

Long overdue review! Toshi Sushi has my heart. I absolutely love this place, and this is hands down my favorite sushi spot ever. Amazing fish, service, ambiance, and prices. I've been to countless sushi restaurants, and Toshi is number 1. The fish is always fresh! So sweet and melts in your mouth. Their sashimi with a bowl of rice is out of this world. The prices are very reasonable for the quality fish that you are getting. The ambience is great. It's a cute and semi-casual space to have date night or to dine with friends and family. And their service is spectacular! It's also nice to be able to watch the chef and his team do their magic. They respect the ingredients, and it's truly an honor to be able to dine here. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Thank you Toshi! read more

If you didn't go here, I'm sorry but you can't call yourself sushi lover. Service is good. Toshi San is friendly and nice. Real Japanese sushi. Fish is really great quality. Restaurant is clean and space. Like what is the reason you are not going there ? It is worth it to go and pay for real Japanese food. read more

This is one of few sushi places I would drive out of my way to eat. Came here with my wife today after my acupuncture treatment few blocks from here. Got here just before noon, and we were the only ones here. I ordered the Toshi Sushi Combination, and my wife got the Chirashi Special. My combination came with eight different sushi. I couldn't identify every single one but there was salmon, ikura, toro, tuna, and four others. They all tasted excellent, especially the toro. Both of our meals came with miso soup and salad. Service was prompt, and price seems reasonable for today's standard. I would like to come back and try its omakase next time. Parking lot is tiny, so that's about my only complaint. I think there are only about six spots, and they are shared with two other restaurants. read more

We found this restaurant through Yelp and we were super happy that we did. The sashimi were fresh and perfectly prepared. They have most of the dishes that we usually liked on the menu and some more. There was a mantis shrimp sashimi special on their special menu which we never tried before. We have it a try and it was pleasant enough but we still preferred the live sweet shrimp. The monk fish liver was good but the texture was softer than the ones we had on the past. Our server was friendly and helpful. Overall, I give the dining experience a five star because we left happy and satisfied. read more

Both food and service are exceptional! The staff are attentive and courteous, and the whole restaurant, including the restrooms, are very clean. The food has always been fresh and delicious since they were at Little Tokyo. I'm very happy that the owner decided to reopen the business in Gardena! read more

I came here on a rainy week night and was seated immediately. There were patrons speaking Japanese so that's always a good sign. We ordered Tako Wasa (raw octopus with fresh wasabi) for an appetizer and two Chef's Choice Sushi Combos (came with miso soup), total bill came out to be $80. The quality of fish was really good!! Every piece was so tender, and the Ikura wasn't overly salty it actually had a bit of sweetness to it. It was a little disappointing that they didn't have fresh wasabi that we could order on the side, but overall it was a great experience. read more

I had a friend staying in Redondo and she was craving sushi so I found this place on Yelp. And I'm glad I did! Everyone was so friendly and the sushi really hit the spot! You really can't go wrong but our favorite was the negi toro hand roll! It looked like they had some really great lunch specials so I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!! read more

Yoshi Sushi is a true hidden gem in Gardena. This is one of the few spots that deserve 5 STARS on Yelp. From the customer service to the delicious and fresh fish, you cannot find a much better spot in my opinion. After trying it for the first time a few months ago, I have been back numerous times and bring my friends from near and far to Toshi. // FOOD // TOSHI CHIRASHI SPECIAL - The cuts of fish will vary depending on what Toshi has that is fresh. It typically will come with an assortment of various cuts of fish. I would say it averages around 11-13 different cuts with the following as possible cuts: scallop, tuna, salmon, toro, yellowtail, ikura, tamago (egg), mackerel. Uni is offered at an additional cost. My favorite cuts are the toro, scallop, and tamago. Normally, tamago is my least favorite but Toshi has perfected it! SHRIMP TEMPURA & VEGETABLE: The tempura is not only cooked perfectly, but it is light and not oily. Tempura is offered at so many restaurants but there's not many that can perfect it like Toshi. This was a great appetizer before the main course of the chirashi for me. KARAAGE (garlic): Juicy pieces of chicken, fried to perfection and then covered in a sweet and savory, garlic sauce. Great appetizer to share! HOTATE (SCALLOP) SUSHI: Fresh, hotate sushi with yuzu kosho on top. I always order this on the side since even though the chirashi typically comes with a piece of hotate, I am always craving more. Overall, Toshi Sushi is well deserving of this 5 star review! read more

Happily impressed by this restaurants excellent ambiance, courteous and friendly staff. The sushi was phenamenal as well as the decorum of the restaurant. My gf loved it also, even the sushi chef talked to us on our way out. Great place! read more

Wonderful sushi, so fresh and clean tasting. The edamame with garlic was next level and the staff was so helpful and very friendly. Very easy to park in front of the restaurant too. read more

When I find a place I like, sometimes I don't want to share it with others so it doesn't blow up and I don't have it all to myself. But what kind of fatty would I be if I didn't share it with my fellow fat ... Anyway. Toshi Sushi. Where Painter's Tape used to be. Next to Tomizo Ramen. If you've been to either, then you know about the parking. I don't know what the restrictions are for spaces next to the building - but I got lucky and parked right in front. Helped that I got there early before the dinner rush arrived. You could always park on the street or in the plaza next door. For most of my meal, I was the only diner. So, service was excellent. I didn't ask her name but she was attentive and friendly. I doubt the service would decline if it were busy - you can kinda tell these things if you eat out as much as I do. As for the fish ... see pics. Ordered the following: Sashimi/Sushi Combo Baked Green Mussels Tempura Ice Crea (Matcha) Fresh. Tasty. Delicious. Etc etc etc ... As I was inhaling my dessert, the crowd starting to roll in. Enjoyed my dinner in relative peace & quiet and have every intention on doing it again on a return visit. read more

Toshi Sushi is a traditional Japanese restaurant. A smaller selection of sushi & sashimi but have a wide selection of entrees, salads, grill items, and soups. Pricing is very good. Service was fantastic. It was a quieter Friday night. The sushi was a bit dry. The eel avocado roll was amazing. No reservation was needed. If you order soda, it does come in cans (automatic minus one star). My wife and I like rolls, so not quite what we expected, but great to try. read more

Sushi is one of my favorite foods, and I can quite honestly say this is the best sushi I've ever had. The Special Chirashi bowl was so delicious we ordered a 2nd bowl. Every piece of fish was super fresh and buttery. I'm generally not a fan of scallops, but the scallop was the most beautiful, lightly sweet, and buttery scallop I've ever had. We also had the negi toro roll and negi yellowtail roll. The seaweed had this wonderful roasted aroma and flavor that complemented the fish well. Absolute must try. The wasabi was top notch as well. The sushi rice was flawless, and the extra toppings (roe, pickle, seasoned onion) made for an immaculate combination. Service was great, and you can tell the chef is passionate and caring for his customers. 10/10 food and atmosphere. Will be back again very soon. read more

Toshi Sushi is the best sushi place I've ever been to and as a result I have gone back whenever I can find an excuse to. It is weirdly a small hole-in-the-wall place across the street from a car dealership that I don't think I would have ever found on my own. The ambiance is great and the staff makes you feel very comfortable from the beginning of your meal until you leave The fish is so incredibly fresh and delicious every single time. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable. I have been to countless sushi places in LA and Orange County over the years and Toshi remains on top read more

Visited Saturday evening. Not many seats but was full of customers. Sushi chef is very friendly and welcoming so as young waitress. Ordered tonkatsu and nabeyaki noodles. Broth is savory, Shrimp tempura is crunchy good, but noodles dish didn't have variety of topping, Tonkatsu was thinner compared to other restaurants. read more

tldr: service is great! Food was meh. The service was great and fast. However, you can get similar quality of sushi for cheaper elsewhere. The sashimi and nigiri pieces were small, but I enjoyed them still. Rice was undercooked and felt gritty. The ikura piece was mostly rice... read more

It's my 3rd time here and each meal has surpassed the last. The fish here is HIGH QUALITY and FRESH. You can't find a better place than this in South Bay. If it's your first time here, get the premium chirashi $29.59 and add Uni for $7. It's the perfect amount of food and you will walk out with a happy belly (don't underestimate the bed of rice, it will fill you up alright). I love love love hotate scallops and if you share the same love, you MUST order it! read more

Delicious. This is a small, almost hole-in-the wall along a long strip of car dealerships and plazas. The food was exceptional. It was very good considering there is a surplus of Japanese food in the area. The ambiance was a blend of fine dining and your favorite local spot. The service was fast and the servers were very kind. This place was a great place to end my weekend and I will definitely be returning. read more

Small free parking lot. Quaint sushi spot. Lots of sake selection! The server is super nice. Sushi pcs is (1) pc per order, they're more on the pricier side. The fish is fresh and fatty (: they have a really yummy seared salmon! They have a private area that can be booked for private parties. Daily specials are interesting, they have live scallop available, other items not available at other sushi spots. Will definitely come back - service, food and ambiance is enjoyable! read more

It was a short walk from Honda so I came by today while having my car serviced. Service was great and, I didn't get her name, but the lady was so nice and sweet. The food was fantastic. The sushi was so fresh I was blown away. The salad was fresh and had a fantastic dressing and the miso was so so good. It was a bit warmer inside but understandable because of the heat wave. But I was so full I could barely walk back to Honda 10/10 recommend! read more

First came in and was greeted right away. We got sat within 2 minutes of walking in the door but then it took a while for the server to come back and take our order. We honestly had almost ended up leaving because he had walked by us several times but didn't stop and get our order. We ordered Gyoza, shishito peppers, yellowtail carpaccio, and red dragon roll. Everything was very delicious and fresh. Though, the server was very confused with our order. We saw him several times go to another table and almost give our food to them. And then he forgot to input the yellowtail carpaccio so waited a while after getting everything else. But that yellowtail carpaccio was well with the wait. That was 5/5 for sure. We will definitely come back just for that and we hope to have a little better service next time. Could've just been an off day. read more

We were looking around near our place for good, quality sushi. Tried going to Kura but their wait time is more than an hour. Found this hidden gem on yelp and i'm so glad we did!! We just walked in and we were seated in less than 20 minutes! This place has one of the best sushi, sashimi and rolls i've had! Such quality sushi, and soooo mouth-watering! I definitely recommend eating here, you won't regret it! read more

Such a good Japanese spot in Gardena! Everything is really good quality here, the food and service! This restaurant is located on a main street with a small parking lot so you may have to park on the street. There are a decent amount of tables inside but you can call and make a reservation. Ive tried their soba and tempura combo and the soba noodles are great! Their crispy rice with spicy tuna is also really good, of course all the sushi is very good quality as well. Would recommend 100%! read more

I've always enjoyed my experience at Toshi Sushi, an authentic local Gardena hidden gem imo so I was excited to come for Mother's Day! Somewhat new to the area, their food is really fresh, affordable, and has pleasant open atmosphere. Their regular omakase was only $70 with a combination of hot/cold food + sushi. Something to note: small parking and can be a little warm inside. read more

Toshi sushi will forever be one of our family's favorite places! We came here tonight to celebrate my birthday and everything was absolutely perfect. My parents ordered the tempura zaru soba and hamachi kama. The rest of us got the special omakase -- it was so delicious and so filling! I am still thinking about that otoro sushi / sashimi and will probably dream about it tonight lol. Toshi-san even came by our table multiple times to check in on us and he was so kind and personable! I've been practicing Japanese and Ayuka-san was so sweet and practiced with me too! The food is amazing, but the service is even greater -- I would come back just for the ambiance and the service and being able to connect with my Japanese roots. We love Toshi Sushi!! としさんとあゆかさんありがとうございました！わたしのたんじょうびばんごはんはとてもおいしかったです！また すぐもでってきます！ read more

We tried this place out and while it has its positives I'm not sure I'd go back. The good things are the presentation and the sushi quality. Good sake selection. The negatives are the pricing which is on the high side for what you get. Maybe it works better for a nice dinner? anyhow give it a shot. read more
