About
Toshi Sushi opened in 2022 on West Redondo Beach Boulevard in Gardena under chef-owner Toshi, a Japanese chef who prepares every component from scratch — homemade tofu, house ponzu, sauces — and emphasizes seasonal fish not commonly found on LA menus: pacific saury (sanma), black sea bream (kurodai), flounder fin (engawa). Eater LA lists the restaurant in its South Bay guide as a rare counter of handcraft and seasonality.
