The staff here are fantastic, and the service is VERY good and friendly. One of the chefs was even nice enough to help us get out of the garage even though the parking attendant left.
I had this on my list for a long time but I was a bit disappointed with the food for the price point, however. The eel was good, but not $70 good- flavor was decent but it was not as meaty as some other places I’ve had, and more bony. The agedashi tofu was too much frills and not the right texture. Tempura and karaage were good, the rolls not so much.

One of my favorite restaurants in WeHo to enjoy a Japanese meal. I enjoyed a round up of dishes twice in a week including the unagi ochazuke, sunomono, tuna hand roll, hijiki, agadashi tofu, and chanwanmushi. The service was on point and the chefs are quick and skilled.

Toku Unagi is hands down the best place for freshwater eel in LA. As the only restaurant in the city focused on unagi, their eel is perfectly grilled, tender, and full of flavor. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. If you’re a fan of unagi or want to try something unique, Toku Unagi is a must-visit! Highly recommend! @sushitraveler

As others have mentioned, the price vs portion is off but it was a great experience.
Having fresh unagi or pre-packaged drenched/marinated in sauce is your choice.
Would I come back, yes but only if I’m in the area.
PARKING
When we arrived, parking was free under the shopping complex.
SERVICE
It was a little confusing because there wasn’t really anyone around when we arrived, even though I had originally phoned to make a reservation that had been pushed back.
Overall, the dining experience was average nothing mind blowing
FOOD
Yellowtail Carpaccio = 4/5
Jalapeño dressing with renkon chip
Unajyu Matsu 4/5
A perfectly prepared directly imported Premium whole Japanese Unagi, steamed and broiled with Toku’s exclusive sauce, over bed of rice. Served with Japanese pickles and soup.
Ohitsu Matsu (POUR OVER) = 4.5/5
A perfectly prepared directly imported Premium whole Japanese Unagi, steamed and broiled with Toku’s special sauce, sliced over a bed rice, served along with a pour over tea/broth and ganish. Served with Japanese pickles and soup.

I have been here more than 5 times. Every time I come to Toku, they serve the best Japanese ingredient food. In LA, it’s really hard to get real Japanese quality food, so I’m very happy to have found this place. If you are looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant, I highly recommend it.
Thank you

Very authentic and upscale Japanese restaurant. Unagi may seem a little small for you all but still it tastes very good. My boyfriend and I had omakase meals and sake and the server was very professional too.
There are not many places where you can eat legit unagi around LA and this place is to go to.
Oh and parking is convenient too

Oops, get ready for a long one y’all, I had a great time at this place and wanted to be thorough :]
Tucked away in a cute part of WeHo is a sushi place most known for its unagi (eel) boxes. I admittedly did not try it; I don’t think I could handle that much eel! This review is for those of you who may not be into eel, and want to know about the many other dishes at Toku!
We started off the course with a sake bomb… I’d never done that before but I will say Japanese beer and sake mix way better than a Mexican cervesa and shot of tequila (Mexican car bomb)!! Classy, I know. I think it was a great way to pregame before the food arrived.
Most sushi restaurants these days serve spicy chili oil edamame, and of course I cannot recommend that enough as a starter. The chili oil is spicy but not terribly so, making it a perfect way to whet your appetite before your main course! While you’re at it, make sure to also enjoy the roasted shishito peppers with fish flakes on top. The peppers served were quite larger than what I’m normally used to, so that was cool.
Additionally, my friend ordered a few plates of the fried rice with spicy tuna on top. This seems to be a popular trend at sushi restaurants right now, and while tasty, I will say the ones from Toku are just okay. If you haven’t tried one before, though, this is a good place to start.
As for the main course, I’m personally a sucker for omakase. I love whatever the chef recommends, and I can say with confidence that it was so delicious, I forgot to take a picture of it!! As someone who personally dislikes sea urchin, even the piece of sea urchin with roe was divine. I couldn’t even finish my spicy tuna hand roll at the very end because it came with so much food! In my opinion, omakase is the best way to get a bang for your buck while also tasting the best of what a sushi place has to offer. The fish practically melted in my mouth.
Speaking of fish, the fish served at this place is super fresh, of course, which should be expected of a restaurant of this caliber. The staff was also very friendly! I believe my friend knew the head chef, and he was warm, welcoming, and very professional. The space itself is rather small, so we were lucky to get a spot when we did. I can see why Toku is so popular!
If you’re exploring WeHo for a bit and want to stop for a bite to eat, I cannot recommend Toku enough. I think its unique spin on sushi with the added eel boxes makes it stand out among the many other places Los Angeles has to offer.

Honestly this is a let-down. Had high hope for this place. Food turns out just so so, the unagi eel over rice was even a little burnt, and in small portion too. Not juicy or rich in flavor… For over $70 per set it doesn’t justify the high prices. We went for an early dinner and there weren’t many customers at all. Place is clean. Service is okay, definitely lacking a warmth you find in Japan. I wanted a nice date night for an important day and I was disappointed. Parking is free, the only saving grace.

dineL.A. Experience: the 8-course menu was fun, but our favorite is still the classical steamed and broiled Unagi, so would be better off ordering from the menu. The pairing sake all came in different design of shot glasses, which was really cute. The unagi was imported from Japan and was smoother, compared to the frozen one we can get from the supermarket. The Japanese eggplants were very tasty. The mocha crème Brûlée was yummy even though I don’t like mocha usually. The place was small. But the waitress were very friendly.

Authentic unagi house! Love the food, the hospitality, and the jazz music! What a gem in West Hollywood! I’m grateful to find it so should you.
