Score
Across the available record, Totoya Sushi has nine inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 31, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around six violations compared to roughly 11 violations earlier on.
The pattern that stands out is “non-food grade paper/paper towel used as liner”, which has been cited three times.
Among Altamonte Springs restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
