Toko is a hip, modern and stylish haven of delicious Japanese cuisine in Sydney’s trendy Surry Hills district, with a chic yet casual vibe modeled on Japan’s more informal izakaya style of dining. With a large open kitchen and as many chefs as diners, the long sushi bar and robata grill tables provide a front row view of the frenetic kitchen action. The extensive five-page menu meant for sharing will leave you spoilt for choice, where sushi fans can choose from over 19 types of fresh seafood sushi and a wide selection of inventive hand-rolled offerings with anything from crisp soft shell crab to succulent toro tuna. Carnivores are equally catered for, with delicacies such as miso-marinated baby chicken or braised wagyu beef with ginger sauce. It's best to take a group of friends and share as many dishes as possible, although beware that the bill can quickly add up. With a strict no-bookings policy, settle into the hip Tokonoma cocktail bar and work your way down their superb Asian-inspired cocktail list while you wait.
