“Triple L has been on my list of places to try since it opened. If you're like me and you keep thinking about it, just do yourself a favor and go in. I spent around $25 (with tip and tax) for a nice combo of Dynamite Rolls and 2x Salmon Nigiri and 2x Tuna Nigiri.The service was extremely polite and fast and the restaurant dining area and bathrooms are very clean.Pictured is the aforementioned dynamite combo, and one of the cute Noren hanging on the wall (they have great decor, I should have snapped a few more pictures)Overall this place definitely deserves the 4.9 star rating they command. Go in and treat yourself!The only downside is that parking around this area is a bit tight. I just parked between Timmies/Michaels and walked across the street, less hassle and easier to get on the road home after.“
“Food was exceptional the ramen. The one I had spinach noodles in it. Got one free refill for noodles.My partner had the braided beef flat noodlesThe soup was hot, noodles were Dan an. I don't know what it is in English but good noodles.The have a game room downstairs too. Good for friends /groups.Will be back more.“
“We stumbled upon this spot while looking for a ramen restaurant closer to us. We absolutely love the ramen here and have come several times. I enjoy the miso and my bf enjoys anything spicy. The bao buns are done well and excited to come back for more!“
“They were extremely accommodating! It was a special occasion and the food and company was extraordinaire ! Highly recommend ❤️Service was spectacular! Our waitress cut his arm he was bandaged up and continued on excellent waiter! He made it extra special! There was a mix up without reservation! Front staff really helped and were very accommodating ❤️Highly recommend❤️❤️❤️“
“The staff is so kind and personable here. We didn’t have sushi this time, just udon, green tea and the matcha brownie. i’d recommend all those to anyone, especially in the minus 35 weather. the udon was so flavourful and also vegetarian friendly! The green tea is yummy genmaicha, they give you a full tea press, super great complimenting our whole meal. And finally the matcha brownie with big white chocolate chunks that comes with ice cream, so good!Vegetarian options: they had a vegetarian option for udon which we were so happy about!“
“Excellent sushi. The fish has great taste and texture, both raw and grilled. The chef's definitely know what they are doing and the service staff are quick and proactive. Price is not exactly cheap, but fair for sushi these days and basically equal with most other restaurants. The place is well lit and has a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!“
“Some of the best quality sushi and sashimi I have found in Edmonton. The lunch bento box is incredibly high quality and everything was top notch. This is a tiny spot just with bar seating so keep that in mind when planning. Can’t wait to come try the sashimi platters next time.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly due to limited seating“
“I love Japanese food and Tokyo Express in the Scona Market 78Ave is the best place to visit. The sushi plate was amazing and fresh. The staff is really what makes me happy and coming back again❤️? They are wonderful and so sweet. They are really nice and hardworking. They offer a great service to me. The ambiance is made for a memorable experience. I swear the staff is the best?“
“Last night 3-25-24 was our first time eating at this restaurant. I have experienced sushi in different parts of the world including japan; obviously we arent going to get that quality of sushi in landlocked alberta but my wife and I thought that the food was pretty good and that the fish was fresh.The spicy menu items had just enough to give your meal a kick and the caviar was really good too plus it was a nice “luxury” touch we felt. Really friendly staff we make you feel welcome and that they actually care if you enjoy your meal and experience. I call these places secret hole in the wall experiences, it’s not a huge place overall but the atmosphere they have created is warm, comfy and inviting, exactly like the places I use to find in seoul. It’s fun and cool to watch them make your meal and they don’t mind. Would definitely go back.“
“This was my first time here, my server Rita was friendly and helpful with my questions, the staff in the kitchen were open and friendly as well.The food was delicious and filling.The restaurant has a variety of add ons to use at the tables and even has stationed tissues for each table!I will be coming back for more!“
“Surprisingly the food was so good for the price. I loved everything that I ordered today, especially the tuna tataki. Usually restaurants here in Edmonton, only serve beef tataki. I will bring my children to go there to enjoy more different kinds of dishes.Don't forget to try the blazing salmon rolls. This is my top choice.“
“I absolutely love this place! Food is simpy amazing, authentic and delicious. Waiters are so friendly and polite. The first time we went there, we asked for a recommendation, what to drink, and what this waiter recommended was just so good!. Atmosphere is a 10 put of 10. Totally recommend this place to everyone.Also, I wish they had a sake tasting there.Those guys rock!“
“I thought I had reviewed this place before.I am glad to write another review of this place.Their Tonkatsu have gotten better than before.It was good and now it is great!Everything is made fresh upon ordering, so it is piping hot !Small hole in the wall place as you wouldn't know if you drive nearby.But glad I have tried here.They are also well known for fried chicken, but I recommend trying their Tonkatsu!“
“I had an amazing experience at Tokyo Express! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was top-notch. The sushi itself was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared. The staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Tokyo Express to anyone looking for delicious sushi and a wonderful dining experience!“
“This is a cute bungalow house turned into a cafe. Sit upstairs if you have a choice. Basement is chilly in winter. Coffee is ok; not bad and not credo level either. We were sad we ate before coming because the food looked good. Asian style cuisine. Will try to come back and try food.Parking: Street parking, could be an issue if busy.“
“One of our all time favourite neighbourhood spots! The TNT pressed sushi, shaka shaka fries, agedashi tofu, and sashimi are our all time faves — you gotta get the fries!!! We’ve become regulars at Dorinku over the years & it has a special place in our hearts. Always the best vibes & best servers - Hi Sarah!!“
“Dated my friends for a Friday lunch at Miga. Very spacious restaurant with high ceiling. A very good place to have good food and chit chat with friends. We ordered a rosu katsu, a hire katsu and a cheese katsu. Each meal comes with a miso soup, an appetiser which was some preserved cabbage, some cabbage as veggies, the cutlet and rice. There was also a little bowl of sesame for us to grind and add the sauce for dipping. The three of us decided to share the meals so we each had some of the different katsu. My personal favourite was the hire katsu which was the pork tenderloin cutlet. It was very crispy in the outside and soft in the inside. Was definitely a wonderful meal and I plan to visit again with my family.“
“It’s easy to come across new Japanese restaurants opening up in the city these days, but I can say with all my confidence that this place will always remain as my favourite. This place offers an authentic, homey and cozy Japanese dining experience but this experience comes with a compact space, so make sure you book a reservation in advance. Anything with their aburi salmon is a must-try and so is their nebeyaki udon. They don’t have the fastest service so I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are looking to grab a quick bite to eat.“
“The food was outstanding, and I was impressed by the knowledge and care around my gluten-free requirements (Celiac). Our server was the nicest and made our first visit so enjoyable. I will definitely be back for more of that pressed salmon!“
“They offer a great dining experience here, and the marinated meats are absolutely delicious, I was very satisfied with the food, made it simple, and went with the Meat Lovers for 2 people, and that was very tasty all around.While the servers were friendly, they did leave us without water for a good part of the meal and any restaurant can easily solve that by leaving a pitcher on the table, that should be standard across the board.Only thing I would have liked to have another option for dessert (apart of the combo meal) as I do not enjoy smores and it doesn't work that well with the table after having just cooked all your meat, they could provide another option like a brownie or ice cream.I very much enjoyed it and would very much like to try the Calgary location“
“The food was good. The music is a bit loud, but they did turn it down a little when I asked. I couldn’t really hear my friend speak. I think it’s a cute place to hang out for a quick lunch. There is a long line so I would recommend lining up there before they open. Their oysters were surprisingly creamy, it is my favourite dish there. The beef Tataki was meaty and I really enjoyed it as well.I don’t think it’s a place to sit and chat, but if you are looking for quality food on whyte, this is a good spot to try.“
“i'm new to edmonton but this tokyo express been my first choice to eat at since i started coming around the area! the food is great, my favourite takoyaki is from here and the staff are always so nice and friendly. definitely my favourite place to eat in the area.“
“Oh man, I love I Love Sushi!!! Was here last night for a late bday celebration. I got the dinner with tofu instead of meat, which came with rice, sauteed vegetables and teriyaki sauce, miso soup, and a side salad. Oh man it was delicious! The tofu cubes were soooo good! My only feedback was I wish there was more sauce on the vegetables as they were a bit dry. I also got an order of yam rolls and veggie rolls, also super yummy! All of the food was fresh and just what I was craving :)The service was excellent, the two women working were attentive, kind, and accommodating. I also appreciate them not rushing us when we came in at 8 and only had an hour left till closing. The atmosphere too is really lovely and cozy, felt so nice amidst the weather outside.This would be my 3rd time eating food from here and won't be the last!“
“Dined here with family one fine evening and sampled a bunch of different options. Sashimi, Korean short ribs, tempura and various rolls. Price is a premium. Food was all excellent. Was intrigued by the omakase. Slightly disappointed that my server mentioned a bill could only be split in half. Option to pay with more than 2 credit cards was told no. I needed this for business purpose. Minor inconvenience.“
“Came for lunch on a Wednesday last week and it was clean and quick. Friendly service where staff greet you coming in and check up on you during the meal, which I wasn’t expecting but was nice.I don’t know when Edo’s menu changed but they offer milk bubble tea now and ramen. Food overall pretty decent for price ?Parking: Lots of room to park in front of the restaurant or the shared area.“
“Went for dinner with my wife and kids for a birthday dinner. The food was excellent. Service was super good.The food we ordered was extremely delicious and well made. Favourites include the assorted sashimi and the special rolls. Agedashi tofu was also delicious.My only critique was that all of the food came out with the exception of the poke bowl. This is always a challenge for restaurants but it messed up our meal a bit as 5 people got to eat while one had to wait until we were finished.“
“The first time I went here was because I didn't feel like waiting in line at Chicken for Lunch. Since that time, it's been a destination of choice. The service is always extremely kind and friendly. More importantly, the food is always delicious. Everything I've tried has been tasty and fresh and stratifying.“
“Went to get a drink while I was waiting for my passport application and ended up getting an excellent breakfast as well for just $8. super cheap, super good, and the guy working was excellent! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quick bite and he made it all in front of me :)“

“Just had an amazing customer service experience. the guy at the counter was friendly, efficient, brought the food out, and came back later with their new menu. this was all while they were busy juggling online and in-restaurant orders. Super impressed. Plus the food was fresh and delicious!“
“Great place to get all you can eat sushi. You have the opportunity to try many different things you might not try if you have to buy one or two things. It's a bit pricey so if you're not hungry it wouldn't be worth it. Overall the sushi is good, not the best but good. It's usually very busy and tightly packed so reservations are very helpful.To management, please secure the toilet seat in the women's washroom.Vegetarian options: Yes, cucumber, avacado, yam rolls, soups and seaweed salad are all good options.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free and vegetarianKid-friendliness: As long as your kids are okay with lots of people.“
“Interior is more or less the standard western-japanese restaurant, menu is standard and not much creativity, but the good that comes out is quite high quality.I don't really have a reason to come back unfortunately since there are more interesting places to go for sushi.“
“They have fusion style of Asian foods. I’ve heard the cocktail is really good. I don’t remember which one I tried but it was actually really good? For food, salmon maki was simple in a good way. Mango shrimp salad was both sweet and a little spicy, so good?? And Pad Thai was really good. The noodle was chewy, the sauce was so spicy cuz I ordered them to make it really spicy lol I forgot to take picture, but I ordered beef salad roll too. It was enough big actually, and taste good. They have so many options of foods and I want to try other meals someday?“
“The experience at this Tokyo Express was fantastic! The staff were very friendly and courteous. The food was fantastic as well. I have been to other stores of this franchise and this is by far my best experience. I would rate the quality on the same level as other higher range sushi restaurants.“
“We went for dinner New Year's Eve and had reservations, which was necessary. Even though the restaurant was very busy the service was great. Although it had been many years since I last ate at a Japanese Village restaurant I knew what to expect. The teppanyaki style of cooking is fun to watch, and the food was absolutely delicious.If you haven't ever experienced teppanyaki I highly recommend Japanese Village.Wheelchair accessibility: My sister, who was one of our group, is in a wheelchair and, with us holding open the doors, she had no trouble getting in.“
“Great selection of sushi and sashimi and other things for those who don't like sushi. $40 per person all you can eat, I highly suggest only ordering 1 or 2 items to start as it can easily end up too much. If you have too much left over they reserve the right to charge the price for a complete dish. I think it's worth it. We went for a bday party it was very fast service and they handled the large table effectively. Food quality was good and it was clean.“
“I only tried a couple rolls, but they were amazing! They had a great restaurant in Cold Lake, AB (Red Bean) and they've only gotten better! Can't wait to back and try more. Great menu selections and highly recommend the Volcano Roll“
“Its 12AM and we decided to eat here in 137 ED branch. Its my first time eating here in Tokyo Express. Me and my friends liked the food! We ordered chicken and shrimp noodles, Onion cakes, some sushi, tempura and spring rolls. Everything is delicious and tasty! The place is quiet and clean. I am giving a raise to the staffs, Jayson and Rolando which were on shift that time. They are very accommodating and very patient taking our orders. They're very friendly and were smiling all the time which made us feel at home. They are quick in giving what we ordered and gave us our needs. You should give them a bonus! We will come back for sure!“
“My mom and I went for lunch and decided on take-out. When we walked walked in, wow! The interior is perfect, and the staff were extra friendly. I got the salmon sushi lover, and my mom got make your own bento box, with assorted tempura, miso soup, bulgogi beef, and the dynamite roll. The portion sizes were perfect and all the flavors were outstanding!“
“I've been a Mikado customer and enthusiast since the owner (David) was a sushi chef at the original location back in the early 1980s. The fact that I (now 'we') continue to be clients of this fine establishment for over four decades pretty much illustrates how highly we regard this group of restaurants. 5.5 stars out of 5!!!“

“The food is very basic and affordable here especially the sushi. If you like the crazy loaded sauce sushi they won't be here. They have some really good crispy chicken noodle dishes and a variety of others. It feels very fast food so don't expect the expensive sushi to be here. I think the prices are reasonable and the restaurant is very clean. Customer service is awesome and this is just a simple in and out kinda place.“
“They really changed because of covid. It's not a sit down service restaurant anymore. More like counter service and wait at table with number. Still has an excellent sushi bar so that's good. I had beef. Terrible. Should've tried chicken.“
“I absolutely love this place! Great selection of Vietnamese and Japanese dishes and generous portion sizes. Staff are very friendly and the quality of food is always superb! My go to place for Vietnamese. Thank you to the entire Volcano team!“
“This place has amazing owners and great fresh Japanese food! I like coming here for the raw Tuna poke bowl, salmon bento, and tuna or salmon sashimi amongst other things. Prices are fair and well worth supporting a local business over any of the chain restaurants around. I come often now that I work nearby and will be back soon!“
“Kyoto - Garneau has been one of my favourite Japanese restaurants since 2014. They have a wide selection of good quality items that come in great portions at amazing prices. Overall 9/10. Strongly recommend:- Bento- Grilled Hamachi Collar: Often out of stock- Sashimi, i.e. Sashimi Boat- Chirashi“
“Lots of parking in the strip-mall like area. Not a very pretty place to eat in. Order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Seaweed salad : 10/10. Beef and chicken teriyaki: 10/10 loved the side of sesame sauce. Spider roll: 8/10. Hard to eat as so big. Flavor was just okay. Dragon eye: 8/10. to eat as so big. Flavor was just okay. Overall loved the Teppanyaki but sushi wasn't as good as I hoped.“

“Was just passing by the area but was hungry so decided to stop by this location as I enjoy Edo. I was astonished with the welcoming and friendly service, even with it being super busy I had my order ready quick enough and it was nice and fresh, I would recommend this “
“This was our first time eating here and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE!! Not only were the sashimi and rolls amazing, the staff were wonderful and the restaurant was super cozy. I would definitely come here again and recommend this place to anyone I know!!!“
“Quality and quantity of food is spectacular. Everything we ordered was delicious and full of flavor.Takoyaki, love platter, karaage chicken, deep fried oysters and Salman tataki.I will always go back here for the food.The service, however, is slow. Usually one person man's the front and they are always slow to bring menus, take the order and then return with boxes at the end.Either than the service 5 stars! Everything, including washrooms are clean and tidy.“
“I had an absolutely delightful experience at Gintaro Japanese Kitchen!From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, perfect for a meal.As for the food, every dish was a masterpiece of flavor and freshness. The sushi was impeccably prepared, each piece bursting with deliciousness!I can't wait to go back and indulge in more of their delectable offerings!“
