Worth the trip.

Toyoda is my favorite sushi in Seattle. They came recommended on sushifinder.com, and on my numerous trips there I've never been disappointed. This is some of the freshest, highest quality fish I've had in Seattle. There's an extensive menu with a good variety of fish and a number of good, unusual rolls. Ask for shiso leaves with your yellowtail, and try the spicy tuna roll; they're both dynamite. The chirashi and sashimi also look very good.
On our first visit, we sat at the counter on a very busy Friday night (after a 30 minute wait) and were delighted -- it was fun to watch the chefs do intricate knifework and cut up huge slabs fish, plus they sent a number of "freebies" our way. A great introduction!
