Tozai Foods - Rosemead

The new restaurant is located in the former 7-11 next to the liquor store on Arroyo. They have renovated the exterior to make it look appealing, and the inside is spacious. The ready-to-eat food is now placed upfront, as it is a popular choice for customers, along with ordering sushi. A few family favorites include maguro sushi, chicken karaage, potato salad, tonkatsu, salmon bento, tonkatsu bento, mixed sushi (California roll, futomaki), and mixed small roll sushi. Additionally, they have a Japanese market inside offering high-priced but good quality vegetables, as well as a variety of specialty Asian items.

I have been a regular at this restaurant since high school and I am thrilled that they were able to survive Covid and relocate to a spot with more foot traffic. It was strange to see them in a new location after being at the old one for so long, but I am happy to see that most of the staff are still there. They are always so friendly and serve the freshest sushi in town. Instead of spending money on overpriced, mediocre sushi elsewhere, I highly recommend supporting this local small business that has been serving quality food for over 40 years!

The new Tozai Market on Arroyo and Paramount, just east of the old location about half a mile away, is now open! I visited today and the food was fantastic. With a larger kitchen area, they are now offering some new items on their menu. Stop by and say hello, I'm sure they will appreciate it!

The new location is now open down the street off of San Gabriel rather then Potrero Grande.

12/31/2022 today is the last day at this location. They will be closing after today and reopen on 1/8/2023 at their new location just down the street on Arroyo Drive before you get to Paramount Blvd. I love Tozai Foods. I've been going there for years. Service is impeccable. Prepared foods are the best. Sushi is fresh as can be. Note: the only location that has Fugetsu mochi in the SGV area. Happy New Year and we'll see you at the new location!
