What people say, in short
Many diners recommend Tojo's, and several call it a classic or long-running pick: one calls it the gold standard when fewer such places existed, and another calls it the best meal of their life. One recalls an unforgettable tuna sashimi from many years ago, and one suggests sitting at the bar. One likes it but feels much of its cost reflects the name rather than the food, and one found it underwhelming on an earlier visit.
