| - We have lived in Streetsboro for years and finally gave Toko a try last night, and we were very pleasantly surprised! The location is not what you would expect, but the decor I found to be inviting inside and the wait staff was helpful and attentive. We had no issues booking a table for 13 on new years eve!
The menu: I have to say the menu was a bit intimidating. We went with a friend who had been there before so he helped explain it to us. Basically for $19.95 you get unlimited soup, salad and appetizers, as well as unlimited selections of sushi. There are some limits on single serve sushi options as well as sashimi. For $3 you can add an entire hibachi meal, $5 for premium hibachi meats like filet mignon or lobster.
The wait staff will pretty forcefully guide you to order a small amount at first. Our waitress told one girl in our group to try just noodles instead of noodles and rice. To me it was not rude, more so helpful, but I could see how it could put some people off. To discourage waste, the menu does indicate an up charge for wasted food. This means if you order it, you better eat it, so take their advice and order small at first... You can always get more later!
The food: Very good! Tasty small portions of appetizers, soup and salad were great. The sushi is pretty good quality and lots of options! Hibachi filet was cooked a perfect rare and vegetables of onion and squash were seasoned perfectly!
It's all you can eat with some safeguards against wasting food, which should be embraced at more restaurants if you ask me. Great quality and staff, we will definitely be back!
