A good sushi place in Kalamazoo. Good vegetarian choices for rolls. Soy sauce is too salty. Their ambiance needs improvement, and the bathroom is extremely dark. They charge a fee for paying by credit card.

What a fun place to go. It's located in a weird strip mall section. It is a cozy little sushi place. The music caught me off guard and seemed loud but was actually good to conceal conversations.The rolls are great, and you can watch them be prepared right in front of you. The flavors are awesome and it has moved up to being our new favorite sushi place.In the most positive way, this is a hole in the wall and I recommend making the trip.Parking: It's in a strip. The parking directly in front is about 5 but you're in a parking lot so just take a few extra stepsKid-friendliness: I don't know that you'd take a small child. And there isn't a nugget section on the list. My kids really enjoyed the food.

Got the bill and there was an added fee if you chose to use a credit card. No warning before ordering and didn't bring enough cash. Basically, equivalent to robbery since nothing you can do at that point but pay the fee. Avoid this and restaurants like it at all costs.

4.5 stars. Sushi is the best around. Haven't tried anything else there. I buy thier Berry Blossom Sushi consistently. Pricey, but phenomenal.

I have been quite disappointed while dining out when we do, the past few months in Kalamazoo and Portage.The past few experiences have been subpar and I was looking to try a newer place, so, I looked at the menu, which has a unique spin to it.Went there today with my daughter and the food was impeccable! The mushroom appetizers are phenomenal, we also had the Michigan roll and it was exceptional.The Miso soup and rice was outstanding and I ordered the burrito, which had an explosion of flavors!Keep up the outstanding job! I love this place and we will definitely be back. If it matters, this review is for downtown kalamazoo.I have been to the Drake location as well, however, I prefer the downtown menu and loved the atmosphere
We had a spectacular experience our first time at Toba! The restaurant was clean with the cutest ceramic mugs. The music is upbeat and uplifting. We ordered the Sushi Bento and the Sushi Combo, plus a side of the housemade kimchi. Everything was fresh and delicious, plus our server, Michaela, was so sweet and knowledgeable. The kimchi was especially delightful! We also tried the Chrysanthemum tea and the citron tea. I absolutely loved the powerful citron taste, and the Chrysanthemum was delicate and soothing. We were very impressed and will definitely be back!
We happened upon this spot in the Western Michigan University area while driving back home. This place was busy, and after our experience, we can see why. Great atmosphere with a good staff. Plus the food was very good. Also, they have a good selection of sushi on the menu...

If you like a different take on sushi themed restaurants try this one. Lots of menu choices. The firecracker roll was good, the Kazoo roll is HUGE! prefer my unagi warm but theirs was good. House made kimchi was surprisingly sweet and not very hot.
