My friend raved about Toshi's for a really long time, saying it is one of the best sushi restaurants in Beaverton. So i figured why not give it a try since take out is the best way to support our favorite restaurants during this pandemic, right?
So i quickly placed a to go order by phone, and was asked to pick up 30 mins later.
I ordered a unakyu roll (river eel with cucumber), a rainbow roll (highly recommended by my friend), and a set of creamy scallop nigiri. By the time I picked up the to go box, I noticed it's quite warm. Probably from the rice, I thought. Which later proven to be the case.
First of all, everything looked oh-so-pretty; especially the rainbow roll. It reminded me of sushi donuts, which have all ingredients on top. The creamy scallops were also neatly wrapped and topped as well. I was cheery when I saw the presentation :)
Then, I got to see and tasted the aftermath of warm sushi rice: unakyu roll fell apart because of the steam, and raw fish toppings lost their crunchiness as well. The heat wasn't hot enough to cook the raw fish, but just enough for me to see/taste the difference. The meal was still enjoyable, it just isn't what I expect from a sushi house.
Even though this experience wasn't mind blowing for me, I can see how amazing it could be if the sushi rice wasn't so warm. It's a family own shop that offers good sushi, I hope it'll be awesome when I visit again. Wish I could give 3.5 stars.
PS. The menu photos helped me ordered my sushi, so I took some extra for others as well.
