After all the turkey, roast beef and etc over the holidays, we had a craving for sushi and noticed the new Toro sushi sign. We decided to get it a try - it was an early dinner on boxing day.
Decor/Location:
- Immediately after we walked in, we noticed the place was very nicely renovated and decorated with lots of dark wood. It had a feeling of us sophisticated sushi place downtown.
- Inside is very big and probably good for large groups
Food:
- There was extensive menu of japanese and korean food (more japanese than korean).
- We ordered: seafood pancake, classic dragon roll and fire caterpillar roll
- For starters, they gave us 3 korean dishes (potatoes, fish cake and glass noodles) and even threw in steam egg dish. For the grand opening, there is a oyster special where you get 2 oysters for over $20. This was a great start!
- Seafood pancake was delicious - lots of seafood and fried nicely
- Classic dragon roll - excellent
- Fire caterpillar roll - this was my fav one. It was almost 1.5 rolls tall as they piled up spicy salmon on top of a dynamite roll wrapped in avocado. Yummy!
The two of us were quite stuffed and took half of the seafood pancake home. I have ordered a big party tray from them so another update coming soon.
All in all, it reminded of Gal's Sushi but inside was nicer and food a bit more fancier.
