I had a delightful experience at Tokyo Stop, located at 1335 W University Dr #6 in Tempe, AZ, while waiting for my listing appointment at 3:00 PM today. With my stomach growling, I decided to pop in for a quick lunch, and I’m so glad I did!
I ordered the #44, which includes their delicious chicken curry and chicken katsu. The curry was rich and flavorful, embodying the essence of traditional Japanese curry, while the katsu was perfectly crispy and satisfying. Both dishes were a treat for the taste buds! As I’m mindful of my rice intake due to type 2 diabetes, I appreciated the balance in the meal.
This was my first visit to Tokyo Stop, and I was impressed by the cozy atmosphere and friendly service. The restaurant is known for its affordable and tasty Japanese cuisine, featuring a variety of favorites like yakisoba, teriyaki chicken, and miso ramen, all praised for their fantastic flavors. The katsu is particularly popular, known for its crispy texture and generous portions, making it a favorite among locals.
I’m excited to return and explore more of their menu options. I also noticed a charming Japanese pastry shop next door, which I plan to visit to satisfy my sweet tooth.
What a yummy day it has been!

Enjoyed the lunch here. Super friendly service. A bit of a wait although not that busy. Had the pork katsudon and the beef teriyaki. Both were tasty and large portions. Great location in Tempe. We'd return.
One of my favorite lunch spots for work. Delicious food!!

We stopped here for lunch and they were pretty busy. The restaurant itself is very small and it was extremely hot and humid inside. The service was friendly and we got our food quickly. Unfortunately the food lacked flavor and for the price I was super disappointed. Not sure if I’ll go back.

Tokyo stop Has horrible service and the food is gross. I would not recommend.. The sweet-and-sour sauce is basically sugar. There’s no complexity to the meals. They charge too much for very little portions. Sometimes it’s better to go with what you know. I hate Chain Restaurants, I will choose panda express over Tokyo stop any day. If you want to throw up and waste money, Tokyo stop is the restaurant for you. Please save your money. Go somewhere else, anywhere else!

Big portions and very friendly staff. Great lunch option because even when they are very busy they get the food out quickly. I visit about once a week and am always satisfied. Not a lot of seating in the restaurant so I usually take it to go.

Fast casual spot on university right next to a Japanese market. The food was good and they give you a good size portion. Everything is served to go but you are more than welcome to dine in. The staff are extremely nice and hospitable as well!

Chicken dry overcooked. White rice dry and hard. Rangoon were chewy. My guess is they were old.

Recommended by fellow colleagues. I was disappointed in the spicy steam vegetables w/ shrimp. I could have made it better at home. Once is enough.
