Touka Japanese Sushi, Hibachi & Poke Bowl

Don’t let Touka’s cozy chaos deceive you—this hidden gem is a takeout dream! At first glance, the place might seem a little cluttered, with a small, jam-packed fish tank that gave me pause when I went in. But once I took my order to-go, I was in for a delightful surprise. I got the sushi and sashimi platter, and wow—this place knows its sushi! The portions are generous, the flavors are fresh and vibrant, and every bite felt like a treat. For my fellow gluten-free folks, rejoice—Touka even has gluten-free tamari! Finding a place that caters to Celiac-friendly options with such great quality is a rare win. Honestly, this sushi easily beats anything I’ve had in the city and is miles ahead of grocery store offerings. One little note for the owner: thank you for being our beloved sushi spot here in the southtowns! But I’d love to see those beautiful fish with a bit more room to swim. It was a small heartbreak seeing them in such a tiny tank, and it’s the one thing that almost kept me from discovering this fantastic spot.
