Joto Japanese Restaurant

Fantastic, Fresh, inexpensive and quality service. When I read the review by akaryu98 I had to respond. We've been eating at Joto for about 5 years. We used to go there 3-4 times a week but now only occasionally as we moved 240 miles from there. What I don't understand is how akaryu98 could say they moved when another patron was staring at them. That is the wierdest thing I ever heard of in a restaurant review. All I can say is that I've eaten at thousands of restaurants around the world (airline Captain) and for the money you can't get better sushi or sashimi. Their teriyaki also rocks. I've always found the staff, gracious and generous. Pros: Food Cons: They don't have another restaurant closer to me more

We were extremely disappointed with the sushi...our meal tasted like it was sitting in the fridge for a few days. Plus there was not much sushi selection. Won't be going back there again. more

so i have been looking for a restaurant that would serve me sushi as good as Sushi Matsuri did and i found it. this is probably one of the best sushi restaurant in clearwater. the sushi there is really fresh and they also have a special board with daily special fish they offer. the chefs look like 3 older(experience) japanese sushi chef(oh how i would love to work under them). the wait staff is great, really friendly and fast. in conclusion, this restaurant is a must for all you sushi lovers. hope this helped you pick a restaurant tonight. Pros: fresh fish Cons: wish i could order sushi 1 at the time instead of in set of 2..lol.. more

Having eaten at many area sushi restaurants, Joto is by far the best. more

At Jo-to. we were seated quickly. but we chose to move to a table beacuse of another customer staring at us. asked the waiter to bring over everything to our table. some of our sushi condiments were discarded by the sushi chefs becuase the waited never brought. when inquired to waitress she checked it out and said that such condiments are not allowed at the dining tables. that it would cost extra. I speak japanese and talked to the manager, trying to fix this misunderstanding. Owner being japanese, i spoke to him in japanese, discreetly. finally he grudgingly gave we the condiment to bring back to oru table. from that point the waitress gave us a snobby look for the duration of the meal. Pros: I'm sure the sushi is okay Cons: Bad service. not so nice owner/manager, Waitresses need an attiude adjustment more

great sushi, very fresh and for a good price. Shashimi dinner was awesome! Makimono rolls were Ok. I will surely come back!:) more

Romantic! Good sushi made me so happy and I'd love to come and visit again with my boyfriend. Arigato-gozaimasu! more

This is the best sushi around as far as freshness and value. Always consistent and fresh!! Worth the drive from Tampa!! more

Large portions, fresh raw fish at great prices. Good service. Large sushi varieties. Pros: Price, Quality, Service more

From the fresh taste to the wonderful costume, Joto's has the best sushi experience in Pinellas County. For those with dates that do not like sushi, there is also a full menu of steakhouse type meals. Wonderful Wasabi steak to broiled Salmon cooked just right. a real treat is to sit at the sushi bar itself and talk with the sushi chefs. Makes an incredible first date. Pros: Freshest seafood, wonderful service, not too expensive Cons: busy Saturday nights, doesn't serve lunch more
