Good for special occasions

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).

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.

The food was mediocre, with the unagi rice box being the most disappointing. The service was bad. The middle aged lady looks annoyed the whole time and never smiled. The course was rushed with 2 courses served at the same time. The also constantly checked and asked if they can take the plates when there are clearly still food on there. Would not recommend this place.
