Non-fast food dining in Streetsboro is sometimes hard to find. I just moved to the area a couple of months ago and have routinely ventured out of town when looking for a place to take friends to eat. Decided to give Toko a try because I got an advertisement in the mail and who doesn't love a good meal that's discounted?
Verdict? Toko is by far a diamond in the rough nestled tucked away in a questionable plaza. It took 2 nights for the boyfriend and I to stop in for a meal. Night #1 we drove past and questioned the location and ended up eating somewhere else. To give you an idea the plaza Toko is in features the post office (which is right next door), a flea market, and a Save a Lot. I'm extremely glad we took a chance on night #2.
Ambiance of Toko was amazing. Inside the restaurant is so put together that you forget that you're eating in Streetsboro and not a restaurant in Cleveland. There were 2 bars in the restaurant, one that was the more traditional sushi bar and one that featured drinks. The open floor plan makes the restaurant seem much bigger than it is, but if private dining is more your thing they have a private room that I didn't even notice until we were getting ready to leave. The staff was very friendly as well, despite the service being a little too slow for my liking, and they played a Happy Birthday song over the entire restaurant to celebrate a birthday boy while we were there.
Food was great as expected. We got sushi and while it wasn't the BEST sushi I've ever had it was pretty good for Streetsboro. The names were entertaining as well, like the Spongebob roll and the Krusty Krab roll. :)
