Totally serviceable japanese food. The sushi menu is laden with crab and tuna rolls but the latter were all well prepared and well balanced. I'm never a fan of imitation crab in sushi so we steered clear of those. Really enjoyed the agadashi tofu as well. It is true that there is nothing new or different on the menu but rather it is stacked with cdn-japanese standards like Teriyaki, Udon, Bento Boxes and previously mentioned rolls. Service was pleasant, food was prepared and delivered quickly. The decor is dated as the restaurant is in a 70's style west coast chalet building along with a hotel. Yet, somehow it works because of all the raw cedar. Tables and chairs are from a similar era and show the wear but who cares. read more

Sushi was average and prices were comparable for the region. The service was quick. The restaurant has an excellent view of the waterfront. It can be cold inside though and you can often see pace heaters. The hours are strange as they stop serving at 8pm and are closed Mondays. read more

I gave Toudai two chances and they failed me. The food was ok, unfortunately nothing really impressed me. The best deal is when you get the bento box, but the contents are boring and deep fried. They do offer more variety but these options are all a little overpriced. I think Toudai really needs to re-evaluate what they are offering the public. It is 2011 not 1980. Also the decor needs a little bit of sprucing up. read more

Unfortunately was very disappointed. Sushi was very underwhelming. I had way better up north which surprised me.

We've been coming here for a few years (every time we get stuck in Port Hardy). The hotel is very dated, but I love The Shining, so that's a bonus. The sushi was good, and the service friendly. I especially enjoyed how enthusiastic the chefs were. I'd come back again. read more

Decent sushi, great spicy agedashi tofu,and prompt friendly service. To those who complained about the decor....I'll call you the waaahmulance. Some of us go to restaurants to eat not to be wowed by the furnishings... If the food is good and the service is good who gives bleep about the furniture. I've been to plenty of stylish places that I will never visit again because of crappy food and service. read more

I came here when I was vacationing around B.C. This looked like the only half decent place to go in town, so we decided on sushi. I ordered the california rolls with tempura. They tasted very good, everything tasted cold and fresh, just like it should. But there were a few issues while we ate there. Service was nice but very slow which was a disappointment. The table next to us were very talkative and loud. Tableware and decor was too old. Windows were filthy and barely cleaned. It was disgusting. Toudai really needs to fix up their restaurant if they want me coming back again! read more
