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

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!

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.

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.

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!

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Very unassuming on the outside, but nice and cozy when you go inside. Good quality sushi with generous cuts of fish for their nigiri. The staff are very friendly, especially the chef who comes out to greet and chat with customers.

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.

You can't judge a book by its cover, and you certain can't judge a sushi joint by the storefront. Located in a tiny shopping area (just three vendors) adjacent to a tire shop, it qualifies as a hole in the wall. The interior decor doesn't look too fancy either, but we're not here to admire the wall art. I was immediately greeted by the server, and she welcomed me to a table with a choice between water and hot tea. On a cold morning, the hot tea was fragrant and warmed my body. My benchmark for sushi restaurant is the chirashi, since this is almost always offered at any establishment. They have two variations--the standard chirashi and the special chirashi. I inquired the server regarding the difference between the two options, and she explained that the special has better fish and more items. I opted to go upscale. The presentation was impressive, but the quality of the sashimi was instantly apparent with my first bite. Each fish offered its unique secret, and the variety kept my taste buds dancing with joy. The salmon was fatty and pink, and it tasted like butter. Each roe released its private ocean in my mouth, and even the pickled vegetables contributed to the feast of flavors. The wasabi was not particularly strong, so I generously applied to each piece of fish before putting it in my mouth. The rice was warm and sweet, with a hint of vinegar for good measure. I can't remember a better chirashi experience, at least not in the past twelve months. I am so glad that the adjacent ramen place was closed on Mondays. Otherwise I would have missed out on this unforgettable lunch experience.
