Yoshi Sushi is a true hidden gem in Gardena. This is one of the few spots that deserve 5 STARS on Yelp. From the customer service to the delicious and fresh fish, you cannot find a much better spot in my opinion. After trying it for the first time a few months ago, I have been back numerous times and bring my friends from near and far to Toshi.

TOSHI CHIRASHI SPECIAL - The cuts of fish will vary depending on what Toshi has that is fresh. It typically will come with an assortment of various cuts of fish. I would say it averages around 11-13 different cuts with the following as possible cuts: scallop, tuna, salmon, toro, yellowtail, ikura, tamago (egg), mackerel. Uni is offered at an additional cost. My favorite cuts are the toro, scallop, and tamago. Normally, tamago is my least favorite but Toshi has perfected it!
SHRIMP TEMPURA & VEGETABLE: The tempura is not only cooked perfectly, but it is light and not oily. Tempura is offered at so many restaurants but there's not many that can perfect it like Toshi. This was a great appetizer before the main course of the chirashi for me.
KARAAGE (garlic): Juicy pieces of chicken, fried to perfection and then covered in a sweet and savory, garlic sauce. Great appetizer to share!
HOTATE (SCALLOP) SUSHI: Fresh, hotate sushi with yuzu kosho on top. I always order this on the side since even though the chirashi typically comes with a piece of hotate, I am always craving more.
Overall, Toshi Sushi is well deserving of this 5 star review!
