So glad we didn't listen to the odd couple of negative reviews! This restaurant is incredible and a true hidden gem. We moved to the area 4 months ago and eat here for a dinner date every single week. The staff remember us well and we love all the servers- there isn't one that doesn't provide top notch service.
The food is very fresh, the sushi ranges from authentic options to more westernized cooked rolls with all the unique flavors you can think of. The ONLY valid complaint some of the negative Nancy's have listed is in regards to the food taking a bit to come out but we've noticed that's because they are making everything as you order. Nothing is prepared ahead of time and we have come to love that about them. For example their salmon teriyaki (highly reccomend) will take longer than fresh sushi rolls. We're used to this now and will order our raw sushi as an appetizer and share the salmon filet for a main entree knowing they are cooking it and it takes time. The food is SO fresh, it's worth the wait.
Overall this spot is charming (quiet piano music and date night ambiance on the weekend evenings) and always full but never loud. Very happy to have found our signature sushi spot.

Order came out completely mixed. Staff said fish was “fresh” but def wasn’t. Think we caught it on a bad day.

Hot wine, warm sushi, terrible service.
Visited Sake Toro on Friday 11/14 at around 7pm with no reservation. We were surprised to be seated right away, and even more surprised that it was half empty.
Waited 10-15 minutes before I asked if we had a server. We had our drink orders taken and my wife received a glass of warm white wine about 10 minutes later. Placed a food order shortly thereafter and received our appetizer in a reasonable amount of time.
Waited another 30 minutes to ask about our dinner order since we suspected it hadn't been put in. A server brought us a big bowl of soup we didn't order a few minutes later which created some confusion for the staff. Another 15 minutes after that, we started receiving oddly warm sushi. It was good, but the temperature was a bit unsettling.
Bill was about $97. I think we should be able to expect better service at this price.

The sushi was so fresh and amazing, with so many options, but what stood out was the attentiveness of the staff. They were so kind and helpful, always available for questions, orders and refills. Would highly recommend.

I'm from Chicago and since I've been here I haven't had any sushi to compare to my spots at home. Until now! The sushi, and the service was great. I've finally found my sushi home away from home, lol

The atmosphere and staff were very friendly and inviting, service was exceptional even after arriving prior to the end of lunch service. I definitely felt at home while being served.

Terrible experience. I was seated at a table and, right when I was about to place my order, they asked me to leave because the table was “reserved.” I found this rude, disrespectful, and completely unacceptable. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
very lovely staff and delicious food! have gluten free options (they are all spicy) and it's a fantastic date spot!
hit this place up for lunch if you want a cozy comfy afternoon!

We loved the Ex-Boyfriend & Ex-Girlfriend, Donkey Kong, and the Ultimate Vegetarian Roll! The Gyoza appetizer was also delicious!

Came here for my nieces 16th birthday dinner and had a lovely experience. Not only was the food high-quality and delicious but, the staff was attentive and friendly. Also, the ambience was really nice with beautiful piano music. I can’t speak to how loud it gets when the restaurant is full since it was only at maybe 25% capacity. We ordered both sushi items, the chicken teriyaki and Bulgogi – all amazing. I highly recommend Sake Toro Sushi. Thank you to Helen and the rest of the awesome staff!
