Toro Sushi is a little gem in Lincoln Park that I wish I could say was undiscovered. There was a time back in 2005, 2006 that it was but then social media and word of mouth took over! Now if you want to eat at Toro on a Friday or Saturday night, get ready for a minimum two hour wait. But, that wait is worth it. Stop in, put in your name and phone number (they will call you and give you 15 minutes) and head next door to D.O.C. Wine Bar, or down the street to Duke's or the Tin Lizzie.
Once that phone call is received, get ready for some unreal sushi. If you can sit by the bar, that is ideal to get a better feel for the place. Personally, I am all about the rolls but Toro has wonderful nigri and sashimi if that is your preference. What sets Toro apart is how fresh their seafood is and how creative their chefs are. Go to Toro ready to be impressed and if you have never had sushi, open up! You will be so glad you did.
