"I came here expecting a hole in the wall sushi restaurant with average sushi and was so glad to be wrong. What I instead found was a themed restaurant that would turn out to be an excellent dining experience. As a fan of Studio Ghibli films, it was nice to see a two mediums that I love, cooking and anime, come together. I ordered an oishii roll, my partner ordered a salmon skin roll, we split a tuna tower with and an order of takoyaki. One of the first things that I noticed about them is that they have really good plating for sushi, orchids were a very good choice to bring out a pop of color. The texture and flavor of the takoyaki was impressive, where often times people overcook them, the cooks at Totoro nailed it each time I ordered it, the subtle crunch before getting to the soft center made the takoyaki to die for. Whenever I order sushi I have to try at least one piece of sashimi, so I had the fatty tuna. The flavor was excellent and the cut was generous. While the dining room got a bit loud, it was hard for me to focus on anything but the food. I highly recommend eating here, even if you aren't familiar with My Neighbor Totoro or Studio Ghibli Chef Whale"
