We have 2 Todai Restaurants here in the Seattle area.  We've been to both
several times, usually for family members' birthdays.  The sushi and sashimi
is not great, but acceptable.  The hot food area has lobster, shrimp, fish,
chicken and beef dishes.  They have decent desserts, some fresh fruit and
salads.

My wife is Chinese, doesn't eat the sushi but loves the hot foods and salads
and desserts.  I eat from the sushi area exclusively.  Our grown kids go
through several plates of food, then hit the crepes and other desserts for
several more.

One thing we've learned, get there early, like when they open.  The servers
are very pleasant and helpful.  They promptly refill waters and sodas and
pickup the used plates.We usually leave about 10% tip.  Some friends say
it's too much, others agree with us that it's reasonable.  YMMV.
