Toshi's

If you're looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant, this is it! Tip: always order their agedashi tofu as your appetizer, it's the best I've had.I don't recommend their sukiyaki beef. Everything else is great! Their fish is always fresh.

Seating: limited. Decor: authentic Japanese styleService: just right Taste of food: close to authentic. Sushi better elsewhere. Tempura tasty. Miso soup lacking ingredients. Price: pretty expensive for what you get. Overall experience: good but we have other places that are favorites.

This place is my go to for authentic Japanese food. The food was delightfully and very quick service. It gets crowded during lunch time though, come a bit early or later for dinner. My favorite orders would be chirasi bowl, grilled yellowtail collar and new favorite that I would totally recommend is their udon - with fish based broth. You can order any protein listed on the menu for the udons.

It's been years since I have been to this local favorite. Same hole in wall Japanese authentic small restaurant in a nondescript strip mall. The food is great, the service is average "family" help, acceptable. Will keep coming back for the food and small family feel and service, LOL

Toshi's is a tiny and unassuming restaurant in the strip mall near me and I've heard nothing but great reviews. It is Japanese owned and operated so I had high expectations. I had their take-out once a while ago but I honestly don't remember how the food was, so I was eager to try it again.They have quite an extensive menu, ranging from ramen to sushi to even Japanese-Chinese food (called Chuuka), which is a rare find. I ordered the Lunch Sushi Combination which comes with salad and miso soup. The salad was delicious. I love the carrot dressing they used, it seems homemade. The miso soup was good too, but I really enjoyed the sushi. All of the fish was fresh and the rice was well seasoned. I appreciate that they gave different nigiri besides salmon, since it's so common among sushi places here. It definitely added authenticity to their sushi craft. I would love to come back and try their other items!

Authentic sushi. I recommend their tempura and agedashi tofu too. They have an extensive menu with foods you don't see in other Japanese restaurants in the states like Japanese style "Chinese" dishes.It's a bit pricey but totally worth it. Also love the 80s/90s J-POP they are always playing. The seats are limited so we usually try to get there by 5pm.

After seeing a Tiktok online, I really wanted to try this spot out despite being pretty far out (in comparison to many places I typically go to in Portland area). Located in a plaza, there's plenty of parking and it may be easy to miss this small Japanese spot. Walking into the shop, it's very cozy and you're greeted by very kind Japanese staff. The service the entire time was so kind and fairly fast. Their menu is fairly big for a Japanese spot and has so many dishes you typically don't see.After ordering, we received complimentary salad and miso soup, which were great! The miso soup was pretty standard, but the egg dressing on the salad was so different to anything I've had and very delicious. The chicken karaage we ordered was so crispy and the portion was fairly generous. The sushi was also so fresh, thick cuts, and delicious. Although we were a bit disappointed that there was no uni the day we went, everything else was delicious (the o-toro was so so fatty, if you're into that!). Although it is a bit far for me to go back again, I do think it's pretty good and would recommend to others.

I went to this place for the first time in Aug 2023 and it was awesome. Price is great, fish is fresh and such a nice cozy restaurant. Came back again in Mar 2024, the price for the same item is almost 140% increased. I also noticed they put less expensive fish. I can understand the price increased with inflation and everything but not happy with food quality during the second time. I wish they kept their quality consistent.

Awesome small shop. You would never guess how good this place is based on location driving by the strip mall. 27 seats by my count. 5 star service, very fast & friendly. The workers were going hard and fast. Perfect for a quick sit down sushi lunch. 5 star quality of ingredients as well. Presentation was probably 3 stars (which I don't care about), some of the sashimi was a bit odd shaped, but who cares. I didn't order any nigiri and just one roll, but will definitely do so next time. Ate lunch with my picky wife, so ordered based on her wants. The uni was the daily special and the best I've had. Highly suggest.

I regret only now discovering such a delicious Japanese restaurant in Portland. Japanese restaurants are my favorite, and this place might just become my go-to spot. You can enjoy delicious and fresh sushi and Japanese dishes here. The staff, of course, are friendly. Free parking.
