Toroko Sushi — Restaurant in San Antonio

Hopefully a helpful review of toroyo ... The good, the bad, the ugly Please forgive me for not posting pics of my food, we ate them rather quickly!)

The good: • Its very clean • friendly staff • family owned (owned by 2 brothers) • menu is concise but diverse (has all the staples - toro, hamachi, uni, etc) • fish delivery every other day

The bad • Heavy garnish on sashimi ( honestly would prefer less or for them to save money and just add simple cucumber and diakon. It was a beautiful presentation but unnecessary, the food stood on it own).

The ugly: • None

We ordered the: • Mackerel sashimi - delicious, very fresh! • unagi sashimi - very good portions, with cucumber and a nice crisp garlic oil and scallion garnish • lemon special roll - heaven on a plate!! Light, fresh, citrus but not too heavy. The spicy tobik balanced out the fresh lemon. Honestly do not leave without trying it, you will regret it. • Toro'ko special roll - decadent! (Hedonism bot approves!) The combination of truffle oil, torched toro, Sriracha , and salmon made this one of the best rolls I've had in my life. 100/10 would eat this everyday. • mi ceviche roll - interesting roll. The ceviche was 10/10 and I found out it's a standalone item on the menu. The roll and ceviche combined was good but there was something missing. The roll has a story to tell and it has the beginning and middle but it's missing it's final act. Overall very good but I want to taste the full story.

TL:Dr One of the best sushi places I've had in San Antonio. Beats out the normal places (sushi sushi, sushihana, sushishima, toro, etc) , highly recommend...

This place was a very highly recommended place from a friend and I gotta say, I was blown away.

The service was very friendly, warm, and inviting as soon as I walked in. I sat at the bar and even those behind the bar were very enthusiastic. They received a fresh shipment of fish in, and they let me know what was fresh and recommendations.

The food was excellent. I started with the spicy tuna tower and the presentation was gorgeous. The tuna tasted fresh and the cucumber added that crispness, the sauces and avocado complimented it all very well. I also got the Toroko Special Roll and that was by far the best roll i’ve ever had. It was fresh, melt in your mouth, and super satisfying to eat. And lastly, I ordered the Toro (fatty tuna belly) nigiri. You know food is good when you close your eyes and smile after the first chew. It literally melted as I chewed and the tuna taste was incredible. The Toro was one of the cuts that they said they just got in, and you could definitely taste it.

Overall, this is my new to go spot for sushi and my new recommendation to others. You can’t beat the price for quality here. It’s a tad expensive, but you’re getting pretty high quality...

I live in the neighborhood of this Toroko sushi (Huebner and NW Military) and decided to support my local business, but was very disappointed in their service. I ordered online (~$100) and sent my teenage daughter to go pick it up at the designated time. When she got to this restaurant, the employees were rude and discourteous. She had to wait there for the order, for over ONE HOUR past the designated pick up time. The restaurant employees were rude and did not apologize at all for the over one hour delay in the order. My daughter was understandably very frustrated and almost in tears in dealing with the rude, discourteous, and unapologetic restaurant employees. And, to top off this miserable experience, the food quality was not good, with condiments missing in the package. I always like to support my local businesses, but I would not recommend this business. I suggest to go down NW military to other sushi places with much better service and...
