User Reviews of Todai Restaurant

Poor customer service, they don't honor their promotions! Food quality going down.

This was my 2nd time to the Redmond Todai. What prompted me to travel 45 mins from Federal Way to Redmond was the email that I received about a promotion on Todai's adult dinner costs. It was advertised as...

Bad: Food isn't all that great, and the price is unbelievably expensive.. Improvements: Lower the price.

I keep coming back

The servers are really nice and personable. There is a great variety of food, so, in my opinion, there is something to choose for everyone's taste. I would recommend lunch buffet - it is cheaper and has a...

All You Can Eat

This restaurant has much to offer, for which I shall list here: good service, large dining area for parties of 6 or greater, differentiated menu, etc., etc. The price is a tad bit expensive for mediocre sushi....

Not horrible but not exceptional

Todai is a little on the pricey side at $20-someodd dollars, but you do get all-you-can-eat. What there is to eat isn't really as horrible as some of the reviews, in my experiences there, but by no means is...

Average seafood buffet

Decor is nice - everything looks pretty. But not too much tastes fantastic. I've had better sushi. A few tasty salads and hot dishes. The desserts are cute in their bite size servings so you can taste...

Ruin your B'Day celebration

It's your Birthday, it's on the "House". But there is a catch. They will ruin your Birthday celebration by having to pay for your own meal because my friend was unable to accompanied. Critique of the Food: if...

Used to be good

I have been to the Redmond Todai 3 times over the last year, they have gotten worse with each visit. The first time I went there I was very impressed, the sushi chefs seemed professional and very good. But the...

they rush you out

I have been there 3 times. This restaurant always rushed us out! They bring the bill 5 minutes into the meal, then later asked us to pay it before we were done eating. They whisked away our signed credit card...

Horrible Fast Food Sushi

For $25 a person, this place blows. The sushi was below average, the cooked foods were greasy and tasteless, and I've had better desserts from a roach coach. STAY AWAY FROM THE SOY SAUCE - if the horrible...

Lots of Variety & Little of Quality

If you're looking for good sushi, I recommend staying far away from Todai - because this is the worst quality sushi I've ever had. You will find better value & taste in conveyor-belt-style-sushi. There's also...

Not a great value

Todai offers mediocre sushi, unpredictable entrees and frozen desserts. Lunch is a bit pricey, dinner is way too expensive ($25) considering they add little beyond the lunch menu- most notably halved whole...

I was somewhat amazed at the quality and quantity of food provided for the dinner hour. Not being a big sushi fan, the quality and quantity of food was superior. The previous review almost deterred me from...

Not worth the money!

I was very disappointed in this place. For $22/person I was expecting decent food. The hot food was cold the rolls were in my opinion worse than the ones you can buy at the local grocery store. The nigiri was...

Not worth the money or the wait

If you either dont know sushi, or just dont care, this is the place to go. Especially if you want to spend more than its worth, the food has been sitting out, and is getting stale. Sushi that is supposed to be...

Well, aside from the spicy calamari being good and having a big variety of food to choose from, the price for lunch was average, the quality of the sashimi and rolls was below average (but probably fair...

Sushi for Suckers

Todai threatens to spot our city like a disease (they're opening one in Pacific Place) and that's not an unfair comparison based on the quality of their sushi. A decent atmosphere is ruined by very stale sushi...

Skip It

I was shocked at how expensive this place was. Two lunches and a beer cost $43. The non-sushi food items were inedible. Everything tasted not quite right. I won't ever go back.

Japan, cafeteria-style

This restaurant looks, feels, and tastes like a cafeteria--with trays and noise and lines and the quality of the food leaving a lot to be desired. The food isn't cooked as much as it is defrosted. The sushi is...

Todai is being under-rated

Todai is great! It is well worth the money, with freshly-made sushi and many other (cooked) alternatives.
