Toya Sushi Reviews
Amazing food and great staff!
Their hand made Boba is the best I have ever tasted!
Everything tastes very fresh.
Does not disappoint.
Owners help rescue homeless animals too!
By far, my favorite restaurant ever. Food is yummy, fresh, restaurant is clean and the staff is so nice!
I was so bummed when Takara closed so I’m glad they decided to open Toya so I could get my favorite Takara dishes.
Great tasting sushi! Outdoor dining available and good service

Toya Sushi offers a range of sushi options, including vegetarian and vegan selections, with fresh and flavorful fish. Customers have praised the lemon mango tea, mango matcha latte, and original milk tea, though the latter was described as "really thick" by one reviewer. The boba pearls were found to be well-made by a former boba barista, and the slushy is nice and cold with fresh bits of fruit. The black tea with oatmilk boba has received positive feedback, along with the salmon and avocado roll, which were noted for their taste. While the rolls are described as "decent and straightforward," some were a hit or just okay, though still higher than average. The restaurant is known for its use of cashew nuts in many dishes, adding a nice crunch, and standout items like the Spam Musubi, perfectly thick with the right balance of Spam to rice. Outdoor patio seating is available, as well as indoor seating, and the fried chicken is extra hot out the oil. Toya Sushi is seen as a reliable, affordable option for sushi, with a cozy vibe where friends can hang out and play card games. The staff is noted for being welcoming and attentive, especially to food allergies. Parking is available for those grabbing takeout. It is convenient for customers to order both boba and sushi, and the business hours extend until 8:30 PM on weekends, making it a great spot for a quick snack.
