High quality, great service. Come a few times and bring others with you, and you'll be treated like a god.

Toyoda's best place to eat in the area. The main courses are just fine, but the sushi is what you're there for.

Great service, too. You are immediately presented with udon and miso soup when you sit down. They clear the table promptly between courses. The staff is attentive but not too hover-y.

On Mother's Day, they gave me a warm, delicious slice of chocolate cake covered in hot chocolate sauce, fresh whipped cream, and strawberries; free of charge. Just "Happy Mother's Day. Have some awesome cake."

I love Toyoda.

Toyoda has an extremely loyal following... why is a complete and utter mystery. Although the service is fine, in a friendly, informal, neighborhood sort of way, the food is generally made without any attention to detail, Simple dishes like teriyaki often come out overcooked with a sickly sweet teriyaki sauce, each meal starts with a weird 'salad' consisting of overcooked spaghetti overdressed in mayonnaise and mirin with krab, and fried items more often than not taste of slightly rancid grease. But the sushi is what is truly insulting. Not that the quality of the fish is bad, (it is generally reliably fresh), but the knife skills and presentation is simply appalling. Sashimi platters consist of irregularly shaped chunks of fish thrown without thought or care on the plate, and nigiri is misshapen and haphazard. I have never eaten a piece of tuna here that was cut correctly - it is always cut with the grain instead of against it, making it impossible to bite through. I have lived in Lake City for 13 years, and I have tried Toyoda several times, hoping they will win me over, but I have given up. Thumbs down. Way down.

If you're not already a regular, please don't come here. Its crowded enough, there isn't a waiting area to speak of, i don't want it to change. Ever.

The service is great! The food is awesome! It really is a well kept secret!
