Matsuya was our favourite place for sushi! The young man at the till said they are trying their best to uphold what the old owners achieved. Well after our first meal I’d say they are one the right track! The prices are good, the food is great and pretty traditional. We don’t like the fancy flashy plates other sushi places offer in town. We will definitely be spending our money at Totoro.

Wow! This is quite the upgrade to average sushi and sashimi. The creativity of the rolls is great. We loved the volcano! The quality of the salmon sashimi was incredible. Highly recommend.

My visit to TOTORO was excellent. The resturaunt gives off a very down to earth and genuine feeling. The dishes were outstanding and flavorful, the staff was very attentive and friendly. As I've come to expect from Japanese restaurants, the cleanliness was immaculate also. Beyond this, I was very happy to hear that TOTORO is a family owned restaurant. I highly recommend visiting.

Came a few days ago when it was extremely busy and the young gentleman working told me it was busy so I decided to come back today instead. The service was extremely fast and the food was fantastic! Loved the dragon roll. Their wasabi was awesome too. They even keep the soya sauce in a fridge, which I found was a great touch. Overall it was wonderful. Really nice staff and good atmosphere. Great job guys! I'll be back to try more. Cheers P.S: Love the name and all the little Totoros around the restaurant.
