DTLA: Toshi Sushi
A Tale of Two Chirashi Bowls
I’ve been hearing about Toshi Sushi‘s chirashi bowls as a great value for some time now. I finally made it over there a couple of weeks ago. We grabbed a table but there is a sushi counter for those who want to pick their own and gab with the sushi master.
But which chirashi to get? There’s the regular bowl and then there’s a premium bowl. I got the revved up version and took a picture of my dining companion’s for comparison. For about $5 more, I got uni and a few extra slices of fish. After eating it, I would be happy to go to the regular bowl next time. It was a hell of a lot of seafood (not that I minded– I love sushi/sashimi!). I really liked the “egg roll” which seemed tastier than a piece of tamago.

There were about 10 different items in my bowl including the salmon roe and scallops. For a little under $20, you can’t beat the quality and quantity.
I’d love to return for dinner and try the omakase to see how it compares with Sushi Gen.

Oh how interesting. This just recently came onto my radar, and I almost came here Friday for dinner!
I’d be interested in hearing how it is for dinner. It was nice for lunch. Not too busy.
Came by for dinner last week. I thought it was good but not great, though the $45 omakase presented some pretty good value.
I’ve never had the omakase ad Sushi Gen, but I think the quality of the fish is better there. It’s also more expensive, I think.
Oh, Toshi would not be considered same league as Gen but it’s always good to compare just to make sure.
Gorgeous. Sounds like a decent deal.
Yeah, I think it’s a pretty good deal for sushi considering you can spend that much on a crappy combo. Mind you, it’s not the sort of thing I can do every day. It definitely a splurge, even the regular chirashi bowl.
