We had a lot of fun at this place. The cheese croquetas with the guava sause was the best appetizer ever. They also have good choices of wine and authentic puertorrican food. The waitress was Valerie and she was very nice also. Hopefully, we'll be back soon.

Our experience at Toyosu was nothing short of phenomenal! The staff provided exceptional service, making us feel truly welcomed from the moment we walked in. However, what truly left us speechless was the sushi itself—simply out of this world! We never imagined we would find such top-tier quality in Puerto Rico. Every bite was a revelation, surpassing anything we’ve had on the island. If you’re a sushi lover, Toyosu is an absolute must-visit!
