“ Came in for a birthday dinner without reservations (pssssstttt make resos now!!) They had room at the bar which was fine with me. My guest and I shared a warm house sake and ordered way to many courses expecting small portions but the bull got us by the horns with their hearty portion sizes. Absolutely no regrets on anything ordered as it was just as scrumptious the next day. Thank you for hosting my Birthday Feast, it was everything I had hoped for and more. ”
“ Absolutely incredible experience at Toro Sushi! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was nothing short of perfection—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly made our night exceptional was the service. Our waitress, Tessa, was fantastic! She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and had the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she made us feel so welcome throughout and I can’t wait to return for our next meal! ”
“ Excellent restaurant. Overall 5 star service experience. Our server was very patient and knowledgeable. He made recommendations and ensure our dietary restrictions were met. The sushi was out of this world. By far the best sushi we’ve ever tasted. Super fresh ingredients and the flavors perfectly balanced. It was amazing! ”
“ Had dinner here with my man on a Saturday during their busy dinner rush and it did NOT disappoint. I was amazed with the level of service during such a busy rush, drinks were never empty, our food came out in a timely and organized manner, and the staff was friendly. The space was thoughtfully decorated, but most importantly, the food was so delicious and beautifully presented! This is now our favourite sushi spot in Victoria! ”
“ Came here for a birthday celebration , and we really enjoyed this place. The portions were really generous, and the presentation was impressive. The rolls and unagi don stood out, but the tuna yuzu salad lacked some flavour. The servers kindly gave us a complimentary birthday dessert and that was probably our favourite the service speed could be improved, we waited quite a while for service and the bill ”
“ What a treasure! The food was phenomenal! The fish was so fresh, the service was really good! We were approached to have the shaved wasabi recommended, a must do! So happy to have found this place in Victoria so we don’t have to drive to Nanaimo. We will be back the next time we’re out here! ”
“ The restaurant is beautiful. Staff is amazing. Very friendly and extremely accommodating. Absolutely delicious. We moved to the island 8 years ago. Have been searching for amazing sushi. This place, hands down, the best sushi. Their hot dishes are just as fantastic. We are forever customers. You can see them preparing your meal, it is truly an art form. ”
“ Beautifully presented and delicious dishes. The sushi was flavorful with a nice kick, the seafood salad was fresh and well-seasoned, and the dessert was rich and satisfying. Great service— with Alex, who served us, being friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! ”
