I have to say that I will be frequenting this sushi restaurant more often. They had phenomenal fresh sushi and the price was reasonable for the quality of fish.
We ordered sushi for two and the sashimi was just out of this world good. It literally melted in my mouth. It also came with two special rolls which is the chefs choice. My friend ordered the beef movie box which was definitely Delicious with plenty of food for two. The atmosphere is clean and cozy. The walls are a dark purple and green. The staff is also super friendly and gave us a complimentary Mochi dessert since our dinner was a celebration for a friend.
Plus there is free parking!! Who has ever heard of that in Montclair!
Great sushi spot
+ Sushi is fresh. Had the tuna and salmon dinner and was real fresh and delicious
+ Solid salad and miso soup
+ Great friendly service
+ Not a huge restaurant but it has a nice warm and casual atmosphere
+ The tempura ice cream is awesome
– There is some wait but it's a sushi restaurant so you should be expecting that going in
I stopped in for their two roll lunch special. The guy with me had then same exact thing I did. You get the option of soup or salad, we both chose the miso soup. The two rolls we chose were the shrimp tempura roll and the California roll. Check was a little over $19.00 for two people to have lunch so it was worth it. I'm in this area often and will stop in agAin soon!
Just had the simply divine fried oysters.
The way this appetizer is prepared, one doesn't think they're eating anything fried at all.
These oysters are so delicate in their taste.
Also, I had my favorite chef roll named Sade.
This roll consists of crunchy spicy tuna, white tuna, mango and spicy sauce.
All the flavors complement each other beautifully.
Toro Sushi Rules !!!!!!!!
This place is great! Totally hidden in upper montclair but worth the search lol. When I walked in my friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant last night. I usually take that as a bad sign but decided to give it a chance since all the previous reviews were great.
The service was excellent, super attentive (although now thinking about it we were the only people in the place!). I have a sesame allergy and they were very careful to make sure nothing touched my food. For appetizers we ordered edamame (classic) and the pork gyoza, pretty standard and both were good. For dinner I got a plain tuna roll and the SoHo roll. The SoHo roll is usually a deep fried california roll with spicy mayo/eel sauce, I asked them to substitute the avocado for mango. They gave me no problems with the substitution and let me tell you…that roll was fantastic!!! I'm practically drooling over it just thinking about it haha.
For desert we got the fired ice cream, always a win. This place is also BYOB – can't ask for anything more!! Only down side is the sushi can be pricey, like 12-15 per roll. I didn't see any specials on certain days. Overall great quality and can't wait to go back!
I'm not a big fan of sushi. At least I didn't think I was until I went here, at which time I completely changed my mind about it. A newfound respect and appreciation for this Japanese staple …
Went with the shrimp tempura ($8), fried oysters ($8) and LBK roll (lobster, spicy Blue Crab, king Crab). For $24, I thought the price on the roll was fair and comparable to what others in the area are charging for something similar.
The tempura was cooked just right. Not too crispy, but not under-fried either. The fried oysters were definitely interesting, though I still prefer mine raw or baked. The LBK roll was delicious, fresh, and came with just the right amount of wasabi and shaved ginger on the side.
The staff was prompt and friendly. And it's BYOB – always a plus.
I have been to Toro a number of times, and sometimes it is 4 level. Last night–a 3, decent but not extra special. I do trust their freshness. The service is friendly. But they brought our starter sushi after they served our main dishes. We did try the sea urchin, $11 for two pieces. It was our choice to try it–and it was interesting. Also had eel, tuna which was very good, and a spicy yellowtail roll which was ok. The quantity of food seemed less than we recalled in the recent past. We did have a very good Groupon deal. We will go again, for we have had some very positive sushi dining here other times. Toro is convenient location for us, and I hope this small, clean establishment can up its game one notch again.
Against my better judgment, and solely out of convenience, I gave this place another try last night. I should've known better. Not only do they charge an extra dollar per roll for brown rice, but the rolls really lacked flavor. Sushi can be so fun and really pop in your mouth with all the different combination possibilities but these rolls all essentially tasted the same–flat and boring and bland. Now I'm confident that, even out of convenience, I will not be back. Especially with other very good sushi restaurants nearby.
It's a shame, really. We used to love this place! Not sure what happened, but whatever it was, it wasn't good….
