"If you have a mutual love for free stuff and wasabi, Toyoda is the casual sushi spot in Lake City for you. Everything on the menu comes with a complimentary noodle salad and miso soup. Any nigiri you get is on the larger side, but is priced very reasonably. And, the amount of wasabi they use will probably make your nose tickle (in a good way). As for rolls, the tempura-fried spicy tuna roll is the best thing here. It’s light, crunchy, and comes with a delicious ponzu sauce for dipping." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"The nice thing about eating sushi in Seattle, other than the part where you eat the sushi, is the variety. If you don’t have $400 to drop on omakase, it’s okay — cheaper, still-killer sushi options are available. Toyota Sushi in Lake City is every bit as exquisite as the more celebrated sushi-yas but with the look and feel of a family-owned neighborhood joint. If you can, snag a seat at the bar to watch the sushi itamae working — the fish here is so heartbreakingly fresh, you can tell just with your eyeballs. Keep it casual with specialty rolls and sashimi, or go all out with the buttery, savory seared hamachi or the melt-in-your-mouth black cod. Add a homey Japanese tavern vibe, chatty service, and a casual, non-dressy vibe — Toyoda is a treasure." - Harry Cheadle
"Toyoda is a little Japanese restaurant on the main strip of Lake City that serves some great, reasonably-priced sushi. You get a free noodle salad and miso soup after sitting down and the pieces of nigiri are on the larger side. Come here for a quick and casual dinner and get one of their tempura-fried spicy tuna rolls. It sounds like it could be greasy, but it’s actually light and comes with a delicious ponzu sauce for dipping." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano
"You have lots of great dinner options in proximity to the Lake City Library. But after exercising your right to vote, tempura-battered spicy tuna rolls dipped in ponzu from Toyoda sound like a good idea to us. Or anything else on their excellent sushi menu." - aimee rizzo
"I included Toyoda Sushi on the list of places to try in Lake City." - Harry Cheadle
