We have lived in Lake Forest for over 20 years and Sushi Kushi Toyo is our go to Japanese restaurant for all occasions. We have never had a bad meal there. Annie is our favorite hostess. ?

The food is always good as is the service. We have been going there at least once a month for 30+ years.

I ate in this place in the 1990s when I was home for college and it was so good. Came back 25 years later and it is still so good. My kids loved it, it’s their new favorite restaurant!

In our top 2 for sushi and 1st place for their ramen in lake county ☺️ So yummy! Love their spicy mayo too.

Food was delicious and they had so many choices. Our server was nice. Some of our food didn't even come out until the rest of us were almost done but we went during lunch so maybe they didn't have the staff that day. Would live to go again soon.

Parking: Located in a strip mall which generally has plenty of parking. Occasionally during lunch the lot is full enough to require parking more than 1 or 2 rows of cars away.Kid-friendliness: Dining room is always full of kids. Rice- and noodle-based dishes seem to appeal to less adventurous eaters.Wheelchair accessibility: All one level with no stairs or ramps. Entryway vestibule can be a little tight for wider chairs but very accommodating staff.

The quality of the food was decent, but I was somewhat disappointed to find that the sushi was served over steamed rice rather than the traditional sushi rice. The rice fell apart upon picking it up.Another letdown was when I ordered the chicken katsu. It appeared that the chicken had been pre-boiled before being fried, resulting in a somewhat lackluster texture. I was expecting a crispy and tender katsu, but it fell short of my expectations.To make matters less appealing, the restaurant charges for extra ginger. It's a minor detail, but it's the little extras like complimentary ginger that often make a dining experience more enjoyable.On the positive side, the ambiance and service were pleasant. The restaurant offers wifi, and the staff were attentive and friendly, making me feel welcome.

Food was excellent. I had the Ramen with miso base. The broth was delicious & noodles firm. Service was a little slow as I received my Ramen before the rest of our party & I had to ask for tea a few times before I was finally brought a pot. Server was swamped & apologized for the delay. Cute place with delicious food. Great place for a relaxed no rush meal
