Toku Unagi and Sushi opened its door in the fall of 2019 on La Cienega Blvd in an area renowned as one of the most luxurious dining areas in Southern California. Our specialty, the Unagi, are Premium Unagi directly imported from Japan every week. Continuing the legacy of our founder, with the same cooking method and the Toku's special sauce created over a century ago, you can now experience a truly authentic Japanese Unagi dishes one could not find here in the states before. Along with our Unagi, we also serve authentic sushi made by our very own Chef with decades of experience. His creations also includes sushi rolls unique to our restaurant. We also serve tapas style Toku original small dishes, unlike anything you'll find at other Japanese restaurants, as well as everyone's favorite and always popular Japanese Agemono (fried dishes).

Toku Unagi & Sushi is a great place for a very intimate dinner. They do not over sell the place and concentrate on service and quality. Definitely recommend the Chawanmushi.

Unfortunately, we wanted to like this place more than what we experienced. The staff was very friendly and attentive. But, while the sushi was very tender the unagi was just meh. And we think you can find just as good sushi for less. Like Iroha Sushi in the Valley. We do not think we would return.

Food was delicious but the service and timing receiving the meal ruined the experience. They are understaffed and in that respect, they should not take as many reservations as they did this evening. It took 20 minutes to receive menus and would have taken longer had the sushi itamae not noticed. We ordered appetizers and drinks to start and they came out incorrectly and sporadically - our last appetizer came almost 2 hours into the meal. An hour after sitting down, they finally took our meal order. I’ve never had as poor service as this and it’s quite unfortunate because the food is great. If you are paying the prices they ask, the service needs to match the food.
