What People Are Saying About Todai Restaurant

In Short – The first Todai Restaurant debuted in 1985 in Santa Monica, Calif., and has since opened in locations across the U.S. and in Hong Kong. The restaurant, with seating for up to 500 people, features a 160-foot seafood buffet offering more than 40 kinds of sushi, all made fresh. The salad selection ranges from Caesar to seaweed to red potato salad. Hot entrees include sukiyaki, teriyaki chicken, sweet-and-sour pork and udon noodles.

Great service..they've lowered the price on weekend lunches

by buckwheat22 at Citysearch

I've been going to Todai for years. It is quite expensive but am glad to see they recently lowered their lunch price on weekends. The restaurant has been packed! The food is what you expect at a buffet. Not the best, but pretty decent. You have to remember, they have to keep replenishing it and some of the food sits there too under the heat lamps so it may not be that fresh if it is not a popular item. The shrimp tempura is fresh as it never stands sitting for more than a few minutes before they are snagged up. Mauricio is our favorite waiter. He is so attentive. Never have to ask for more water. He just brings it.

  • Pros: Service
  • Cons: Gets a bit noisy

Not bad for a buffet

by plugpitch at Citysearch

The food definitely could be better at a real sushi restaurant, but this is a buffet. I don't see why people are complaining so much. Lately, the food has been tasting better too. The food is not the freshest, but it's not bad either. For a buffet, the quality is quite good. You get sushi, sashimi, crab legs, oysters. tempua, udon, yummy cakes, crepes and much, much more! My only complaint is the smell. It doesn't smell bad inside, but you leave with a strong restaurant smell.

Too pricey!

by lovetoeat2005 at Citysearch

The restuarnt is located inside the Westfield Mall. My partner and I came here because we didn't want to walk into the food court. Boy, did we regret that! The food was not fresh at all. Plus the price was just too expensive to get such bad quality food. Never go back again.
