Toro Sushi Stone Grill & Bar

Wow! Our family Valentine's dinner at Sushi Toro in Fremont was an absolute delight! The Love Boat, meant for two, generously fed our family of 4 with its delightful variety of rolls and sashimi.
Not only did we get our money's worth, but the presentation with the dry ice effect added a magical touch to our dining experience.
Despite the bustling Valentine's crowd, the service was quick, and the vibes were fantastic.
Even with a 25-minute wait (which wasn't bad considering no reservations were allowed for Valentine's), the entire experience was worth every moment.
Highly recommend

First time checking this place out.

Endless selections of food and drinks as well.
The atmosphere is unique on it's own.
Spacious and clean.
Service is superb.
I'm glad to have been there.👍👌

Toro Sushi Stone Grill & Bar offers a lively atmosphere – it's a popular spot! The restaurant itself is spacious, with a variety of seating options – booths, tables around grills for a teppanyaki experience, and regular dining tables.
We opted for a regular table, but the entire place was buzzing.
We didn't make any reservations ahead of time, but that wasn't an issue. Toro sushi has a very extensive menu that showcases photos for most of their items, which is very helpful.
The moment we walked in, I got a sense that Toro was similar to a well functioning fast food chain because all the servers and hosts were on a move, rushing from one table to another.
But...
here's where things got a little inconsistent, and we had a different experience.
Our service was slow and didn't quite flow.
There were long waits between our dishes, and it took a while to get our empty plates cleared.
The dish that should have been served first (salad) didn't come out until after my friend had finished eating his entrée.
That too happened after we reminded our server that we didn't get the salad.
2 of my friends were done with their entrees by the time my other friend and I got our entrees.
The mediocre service disrupted the pace of our meal, so we opted not to get dessert there and go someplace else instead. The food itself was decent.
I tried the sushi sashimi platter, which came with a good selection of fish.
The platter included 5 pieces of nigiri – tuna, salmon, albacore (white tuna), yellowtail, and tai.
The sashimi portion was larger, with 3 pieces each of tuna and salmon, 2 pieces of albacore, and a rainbow roll.
For $35, I definitely got a lot of fish, enough to fill me up and still have some leftover.
The presentation of the platter was the highlight, which included the smoke/fog effect from the dry ice.
Each cut of the fish was thick and generous, but the overall quality of the sushi and sashimi was okay.
The sushi pieces had inconsistent wasabi portions.
I felt like I was playing Russian roulett but with sushi.
Some pieces had too much wasabi, and it overpowered the flavors of the fish.
The rolls were not made quite well and fell apart the moment I tried to pick them up with my chopsticks.
I also tried their cooked/seared eel (unagi).
It was decent, but it was doused in sauce. Overall, Toro Sushi Stone Grill & Bar is a good option for a casual, vibrant dining experience.
The food is filling and decent for the price you pay, but the service could be improved.
If you're looking for a quick bite, this might not be the best choice, but for a leisurely meal with a fun atmosphere, it's worth a try.
Just be prepared to wait a bit.
