We had dinner at Toko Restaurant last night on the Queens Birthday. It was our 4th visit to this restaurant, and we were happy to be back again. We have chosen from the a-la-carte menu on previous occasions, but last night we chose the Sora Tasting Menu. Beautiful food, nicely decorated plates, and right size servings. We loved everything, but... More

It's hard to describe the experience you have at Toko unless you have been there. The layout is just so welcoming as is watching the chefs prepare everything in the open kitchen. Beautiful music flowing through the place with the very sleek staff moving around like worker ants. The flavours in each of the dishes are better than the one... More

Tokonoma Lounge: Saturday 1 st June.We had to asks for the wine twice, we had to ask for the sake three times and when it finally arrived it had 4 cups for a table of 6. They didn't understand that the guests at our table who do not eat meat of any kind would not eat chicken, even though we... More

This restaurant has exceptional Japanese cuisine... I've eaten Japanese in a few places and its not hard to compare the quality at Toko. The flavours used are modern with a twist of traditional. Its a very warm, charming atmosphere, and give you the sense that you are in New York. Definitely in its own class. Love this place and 100%... More

It would have been nice to be able to book a table here but after arriving could see why it would have been difficult. Most of the tables are communal sitting and unless you get there really early or are prepared to wait for a table you will be sharing with other diners. We did arrive early and were offered... More

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic, and while not as well known as some of its sydney rivals I HIGHLY recommend it. I don't eat seafood, ever, but my boyfriend conned me into trying his Tuna Nigori and it was to die for. The wagyu gyoza were absolutely delicious and certainly my favourite. We had cocktails next food for 1 hour... More

Very nice experience and place. Tried the gourmet menu, which had a little bit of everything, and that was very good. We asked a change in the meat and that was done without a problem. Will go back.

I stopped for in dinner whilst on a business trip. The ambience is very energetic, with dim mood lighting. The menu looks fantastic, and it was a shame to be dining alone because I only got to try a couple of things! I ordered the duck breast with pears, and a banana rice pudding desert. Both were divine. I will... More

We've been to this restaurant few times. Despite the lack of smiles from the waiters Toko is the place to focus on the food, the kitchen, and the chefs. For a couple of house sushis, signatures rolls or, if you can, the tasting menu (great deal regarding food quality), Toko is always enjoyable. Worth the wait if you go for... More
