Editorial Review for Toyoda Sushi – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Expect to wait in the bright, crowded entrance and be sure to sit at the sushi bar: Natsuyoshi Toyoda appears to be working with more than one pair of hands while cheerfully conversing with patrons, who all swear by this unlikely Lake City find. In addition to sushi rolls, the kitchen also turns out a spicy cucumber-and-noodle salad and an array of seafood.

2 Star Rating: Below Average

When we first walked in we noticed how small the restaurant was and how packed the seating is. The menu was limited and not everything was fresh. One of the things I noticed when sitting at the sushi bar was that the shrimp was prepped. I dislike my shrimp prepped because it means it's been handled and been sitting for a while; it's not fresh. Something else that I found disturbing was that the avocados have been precut. Not only were they browned, but they had gotten squished. Both the rolls and the nigiri were poorly made as it would fall apart when you tried to pick it up. The rice tasted like it was missing vinegar and wasn't cooked thoroughly... the service almost made up for the diappointing food, but didn't cut it.

Pros: Service

Cons: Food, Menu, Cleanliness

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I tried Toyoda Sushi tonight and left feeling ripped off and wishing I had invested the slightly longer drive to go to Kisaku or Rain. That's the problem with trying sushi places -- if you are unhappy, you feel especially unhappy because you end up spending a lot of money for a disappointing meal. The only consolation I can take from this experience is to log in to Citysearch and try to help others avoid the same mistake I just made. Funny thing was, my girlfriend and I just ordered a little bit in an attempt to gauge the food. After ordering and eating about half of our usual sushi night out, we decided to not order any more and leave. Then the bill came and we realized we paid as much there as we would for our full fare at our favorite sushi places! The fish was below average and the environment bright and uncomfortable. Don't make the same mistake we did.

Pros: friendly people

Cons: poor food, expensive
