Toshi Sushi

Years ago, Toshi Sushi was one of Little Tokyo's best dollar-for-dollar sushi spots. Then it closed. Now the same owner has opened a casual sushi bar in Gardena and the sushi (and the deals) are just as good. If you’re a fan of Sushi Gen’s iconic sashimi special, Toshi’s sashimi combo is the South Bay equivalent. The $30 plate includes fatty cuts of tuna, scallops, salmon, ikura, and a little dish of whatever the kindly chef-owner comes up with that day (raw octopus with wasabi, on our visit). There are also chirashi bowl and sushi specials, too, if you want to mix up your standard lunchtime hand roll order.
