Our Story

Just like a good neighbor.

Tonari means “neighbor” in Japanese. As the sister restaurant of Eat’s Sushi, we built it for people who truly enjoy great sushi — a place for solo diners at the counter, date nights, and good times with friends.

Just like a good neighbor, we hope Tonari always feels close, comfortable, and welcoming — hand-pressed nigiri, curated Eat Sushi sets, and an izakaya list built for sharing.

“Big brother Eat’s Sushi’s little sister restaurant delivers in a big way! Same excellent quality & value sushi in a much more intimate setting (think Japan alleyway little sushi/izakaya spot)… Regardless, I loved the experience. ALL of the servers & chefs were awesome. Our sushi chef was exemplary and allowed us to select our Chu Toro vs. regular Toro in all of our ‘toro’ sushi selections. 5 stars! Eat’s, you’re killing it with this new “neighbor” spot! Thank you.”

“I’ve been to Eats Sushi before and enjoyed it, so I wanted to check out their new sister restaurant a few doors down… We tried the Sushi Select for $48 with cucumber salad, edamame, and miso soup. Then came the salmon and yellowtail sashimi, ten pieces of nigiri, and two hand rolls. Great for sharing! Everything was fresh and really good!”

“Small and intimate. Very fresh fish. Order individual pieces, sushi or sashimi. They have preset menus also! Sushi chefs are friendly.”

“OMG. Probably the best sushi I’ve ever had in my life and that says a lot. They are not terribly expensive. It is unbelievable quality of fish. Period.”

“Absolutely amazing sushi and service. Our server BeBe was such a delight and was extremely helpful with recommendations. We enjoyed the sushi so much we went again the following evenings. Restaurant is small so plan on waiting.”
