“This place is our feel good food. You know we're having a good day or about to have one if we're eating this food. Their plates with fried rice and sautéed carrots are our go-to. We usually get steak or scallops but also enjoy their chicken and shrimp plates. Their sushi rolls are also simple and delicious. You have to try this place if you haven't yet. On top of all of that, the staff are also super friendly and quick.“

“This has changed owners and names from Oishi’s to Sake. The service has not faltered and the food although different retains quality. I recommend “Ron’s” special. It’s got fresh buttery garlic, lightly breaded shrimp and rice. Enjoy food so you enjoy life.Kid-friendliness: They don’t mind kids as long as you don’t let them run around everywhere.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat area. O stairs or obstacles.“

“Went here last week with my girlfriend, and I gotta say best sushi spot in fresno, Used to work at a teppanyaki spot and this is by far the better spot when it comes to sushi. Everything was fresh our server was great and the whole environment was good etc. Can’t wait to bring the rest of my family in!!“

“i loooovvee this place!! you have to try the jalapeño poppers as well as the ramen. my go to is the miso ramen medium spicy and it’s perfect amount of spicy if you can handle it. i’ve tried many ramen restaurants in fresno and none compare to the ramen here. it has much more flavor than the broth at other ramen restaurants. the servers here are kind and the owner always welcomes us back and asks how things are. definitely check this place out.“

“The sushi was delicious! Both the Dragon Roll and Booty Tempura Roll werena delight to the senses. Unfortunately, the Grilled Unagi Teriyaki Bowl my girlfriend had was disappointing. The Grilled Unagi, despite being delicious, was riddled with bones that ruined not only the texture but the experience. Although the bones are safe for consumption it was unpleasant. Finally, the restaurant was cozy. We arrived 10 minute's after their 4:30pm dining hour and it was a full house. Our food took nearly an hour to arrive at our table just before we were going to flip a coin to determine if we should leave. Although the rolls were phenomenal after waiting for so long I finished my roll within 5 minutes and although I was still hungry we decided not to order desert or anything else out of fear of the wait time. A 30 minute wait time I feel is acceptable but an hour is too much for so little food. We shall return but with deep consideration and definitely staying away from the grilled Unagi.“

“My first experience with Toshiko's and they DID NOT disappoint. The robust flavor of the Spicy Seafood coupled with the smooth texture of the noodles and added seafood variety will certainly make me a repeat customer. Observing the chefs was a joy because you could see that they each have a passion for what they do. Subarashī“

“We ordered the dinner for two teppanyaki. We thought we were supposed to get a shrimp appetizer and ice cream but nobody at the table got the shrimp appetizer and only the kids got ice cream. No big deal but when your meals $95 without tip you expect everything“

“The place is a gem. Their tempura batter is excellent. A combination of flaky, sturdiness, and flavor. Gyosa were full of flavor and cooked to perfection. We came on a Tuesday and the place was sadly empty. Also, the service and attention to detail was just right. Our needs were met while allowing us to enjoy our meal. This is worth a drive from our home in North West Fresno.“

“The food here is spectacular. I loved my sushi roll and hand roll. The service was very good and we were checked on a few times. The ambiance inside was very well decorated to the point that my friend said that they wanted to get the same type of doors that separate the additional dining area from the primary dining room in the restaurant in his house.“

“We purposely drive an hour away to just eat here. We love the tepanaki but this last time we didn't enjoy it as much as the last time. The chef who cooked for us did tell us that they had a lot of call offs so he was a sushi chef cooking for us. We love the fried rice but this time it was super dry like he let it cook for too long. But overall the meal was enjoyable. We were a group of 2 adults and 5 kids including a 1 year old who disliked seeing fire.“

“Beautifully run true mom and pop restaurant. Becoming more of a unicorn these days with the increasing cost of overhead to run a family owned restaurant. Had the shrimp yakisoba and a couple of sushi rolls from the 2 for $20 menu. Very fresh and you can see care was put into the meal presentation. Was quiet for a weeknight, don't be in a rush. Great food takes time!“

“This place has a great bar and vibe. I like that they’ll seat you for teppanyaki without reservations and without having a full table, unlike some other places in Fresno.Service was great, drinks were also really good. New bartender was training when I was at the but she did really well. I was very happy all my meal, it was delicious and made for a great lunch the next day as well.The only issue I had was they charge sooo much for sides of sauce. It’s a rip off and ridiculous. A small side of siracha was $1.50. Not only did they not tell me this up front, but I feel the charge is absolutely excessive. I would have brought my own and will in the future if I have the opportunity to return. Same for the spicy sauce. 2oz = $2. Ridiculous!“

“Had a good dining experience here. Friendly staff and an impressive sushi menu. The prices are pretty reasonable and the quantity per item is just enough for one. The spicy edamame was a good choice for the appetizer. Their fried sushi rolls are awesome. Had a tough time deciding what to order. Gotta go back.“

“Came during lunch. It wasn't as busy as I expected, the service was great and the food came out pretty quickly. The shrimp and veggie tempura was good and the roll I got was ok. Probably just not the best selection on my end but I'll be back to try other things on the menu.“

“So I had to leave another review for my favorite restaurant, I can't explain how delicious this food is. If you haven't tried this place I "strongly" suggest you do. I eat here at least 3 a month be it brunch with the girls or dinner. Can't forget my favorite bartender Chris will get you right ask him to make you something special you'll thank me later“

“I'm just gonna cut to the chase. I loved it. My friend Larry--we go WAY back--kept speaking negatively about her experience here, mainly her distaste for what she refers to as "the monkey balls," and straight from the lion's mouth, she claims, "Now, I know a thing or two (and sometimes three) about balls!" Um, ok pal, we believe you!! I visited this monument to the gods, this crystal palace of all that is Japanese cuisine, with my darling beloved, my voluptuous bride. Her knee's been in complete agony, and this is just what the doctor (Dr. Cruz) ordered: a sushi roll, tempura appetizer, and cocktails. Each mouthwatering morsel got my brain racing, a torrent of pure ecstasy electrifying the synapses of my cerebrum, like Frankenstein animating his most abhorred creation. I, too, abhorred the atavistic nightmare these toothsome piscine viands birthed inside of me. One taste, I became a monster starving for more. Two tastes, I transformed fully into a demon, Lucifer awakening in Milton's Hell, free from his chains and ready to rule in pleasure and sin. Papa likey, and that's an understatement. The sashimi got me going like nothing else could, and the cocktails are beautifully crafted and exquisitely priced for a humble gourmand as myself. Yeah... I think I'm gonna make another visit to Banzai. Larry was absolutely dead wrong. She ended up loving it upon her second visit, and the rest of my dining party was head over heels, as well. Thank you, Banzai, for making my "Hump Day" a real treat!Illustrated below is Larry's eyes, beaming with joy at her second visit to this fabulous local establishment. Only the eyes are displayed so as to protect the true identity of this skeptical dining companion.“

“It was decent sushi. Not as many choices as most local sushi places. Still good. This is a strange review to write. There was nothing wrong with the place but I'll probably go to others instead. Oh but did not like garlic edimame, tasted sweet.“

“Service and food was great. Kind of hole in the wall place that is a bit hidden if you're not from the area. My favorite item was the deep fried salmon head. My buddy Pao used to work here and it was great back then. Haven't been there for years since I moved out of state. Not sure if they still had it but the ayce at the night time had a aycd Sapporo for a premium. Family vibes and great staff. Yes, I would recommend.“

“As we walk in we were greeted by the chef. He politely let us know that their service might be a little wait due to short on staffing. To our surprised we got our food within a decent time. And the chef kept checking on us and filling our drinks without having to ask. Everything we order was delicious..“

“I love love loveEdo-ya and eat there as often as I can get my hubby to take me! The only problem I have with them is they are always so busy and their bathroom are freezing and usually messy. Staff is usually very friendly and their food is AMAZING!“
