Sometimes you just go to a place for the atmosphere. My friends and I go to Todai for our birthdays or every few weeks, whichever comes first. Maybe a handful of times a year. Anyway...\n\nThe sushi isn't that great. In fact, of all the times I have been there I barely eat any sushi unless I ask for a specialty item like the uni nigeri (they only give you two at a time, but I mean...that's understandable. I wouldn't want to waste loads of sea urchin of some nub who thought he'd like it and didn't). I usually stick with the tuna and salmon sashimi, poki salad, and cucumber salad. I've never eaten off the hot bar.\n\nAnd I eat the desserts, of course. They offer a decent selection of petite desserts. My favorite is the red bean paste cakes.\n\nBut back to the atmosphere--it is a nice place to hang out with a group friends if you don't mind paying a good deal for average food. The restaurant is very open with fun decorations like octopus tentacles hanging from the ceiling and bright colors. They don't impose a time limit like some all-you-can-stuff-in-your-pie-hole sushi places (one time, we were there for almost two hours..) or gripe if you leave rice on the plate. I've never ordered drinks there, but I think they charge per glass on pop. Water for the win.\n\nLunch runs around seventeen dollars I think and dinner goes around twenty eight.
