Toku Unagi Sushi - West Hollywood

Came at the recommendation of my girlfriend. She really wanted eel so we decided to go after a day at Anime Expo. We started off with the crab croquette and it was really good, the sauce reminded me of marinara and salsa, also the crab was real which is a huge plus. We got also Eel Egg custard which had a nice umami kick to it. Then the eel itself. My girlfriend got an eel bowl Matsu. The flavor was good and portion size was healthy. I got the himatsubushi matsu unagi bowl. The first bite I ate it as is, damn good eel. Second bite I put the wasabi and scallion with some of the pepper. Oooooh man was it good. Then came the tea poured into the rice. I had eel like this in Nagoya so I wasn't sure how this place would stack up. I was pleasantly surprised that it reminded me of the eel at Atsuta Horeiken. We finished it off with a matcha crème brûlée. Left satisfied and now a place in my list to go back to when I'm in the LA area.

I thought the food here was just okay, a bit pricey for what it was. The unagi set was a cool experience as they tell you how to eat it in different ways but wasn't wowed by the flavors. Service was nice though, and they surprised us with a green tea ice cream mochi for my birthday.

Decided to try this place before I fly out of LA. One thing that stood out to me was that they were very kind and welcoming. I ate by myself and they made small talks with me which heightened the experience. I got the unagi dragon roll which came with big cuts of unagi. The unagi sauce was a little strong for me since I have a low sodium tolerance. The salmon sashimi hits the spot. They always made sure my water was filled. I left feeling happy after eating here.

Premium unagi is sooooo good! Just like in Kyoto.. will definitely be back recommend to friends

This is the best Unagi I have ever had! The whole set of the food looks elegant and the waiters are super friendly. They walked me through how to taste the food in 4 different ways and each time is a brand new experience! Highly recommended!
