Toku Unagi & Sushi Reviews
I never thought I'd see this kind of restaurant in LA: gourmet unagi dons. I've been to Japan and had these at Kyoto on two occasions, and always thought they were some of the best foods I've had in life, though very expensive. Finally, a Japanese eel restaurant that specializes in eel rice bowls has come to LA in the form of Toku Unagi, a popular chain in Japan. I didn't try the sushi here, so I can't comment much on that. But I can comment on the unagi bowl. It tasted fabulous. The eel is imported from Japan, from what the management told me, which is why it has an incredible taste and softness to it. After steaming it, they charcoal grill it, kind of like yakitori style. The eel sauce that comes on top as well as over the rice was also tasty, with a nice hint of sweetness. My course meal also came with pickles, miso soup, and a kelp broth that you mix with some of the unagi as part of the course meal. If you are looking to eat some upscale unagi in Los Angeles that is tasty and authentic, then you must come to Toku. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but for quality, it delivers. It replicates the experience of eating at an unagi house in Japan. The parking here is also pretty good (private lot) and the ambience is pretty nice. I shot a YouTube video of my eating experience at Toku Unagi, which you can find on my YouTube page called Rockstar Eater, if you want to see this entire overview.
