| - This was a genuine surprise. We were visiting friends up by Kent, and they insisted we check this place out.
Toko is in a strip mall, and from the outside doesn't really look like much at all.
When you go inside, though, there's a big surprise. The inside is a very nice, modern space, with a good view of the sushi bar and the hibachi grill.
You can order off the menu, but what you really want to go for is the $19.99 all you can eat menu.
You pick from a selection of sushi rolls, sashimi, appetizers, and hibachi entrees. As a warning, anything that isn't eaten could be charged to you above the $19.99 fee, but if you've made a good faith effort to eat the food they'll let it go.
The sushi is beautiful, and I was really impressed by the quality of the fish. I was also surprised by the palate cleansing properties of some of the vegetable rolls, particularly the peanut and avocado roll. I was also really impressed by how quickly everything came out - we maybe waited 2-3 minutes for our miso soup opener, and perhaps five minutes after that the sushi began to arrive.
In the end, I probably had $60 of food for my $19.99 check, and left with a big smile on my face. If you're in the area, Toko is really worth the trip.
