I had a nice lunch that was a good value for the price. The chicken was just OK, but I really enjoyed the curry. One of the better curries I've had lately. It did need a little salt to taste so keep that in mind.

My teriyaki chicken lunch plate was delicious l. Included 2 crab puffs and a spring roll and a drink for only $12. Great deal. Super super quick service and fresh food. Definitely a must try. Stop in on your lunch break during the week, the service is very fast and plates are big portions! Can't wait to try more.

One Who Sees

I’m always looking for little, locally owned shops to spend my money.

This place does not disappoint!
Great food, friendly service, good prices.

The hours are built around lunch/early dinner so plan accordingly. No weekends.

(I’ll update with my order, and give recommendations on a bit)

Update: Nov 2025.
Got the lunch box special. Good deal. Side salad, 3 gyoza and entree for $12. Entree portion was huge. Chicken thigh boiled then grilled so very lean. A bit dry but pretty tasty. The teriyaki sauce was ok. A bit bland honestly. The rice could have been stickier.
Overall it was a satisfying lunch. Very polite staff, and a good deal.

Food was not fresh, and not seasoned properly. I threw my plate away after two bites.

The first time I go to a restaurant decides if I'll ever go back. Cashier was apparently asleep with his head down as I stood right in front of him, ignored for some time. Sushi had no flavor, salad room temperature, very dry teriyaki chicken over rice(like it was made a few days earlier and warmed up) no teriyaki sauce. They got their one shot. I was very disappointed and would never go back.

Tokyo Stop is a hidden gem! The curry and katsu dishes are packed with flavor, portions are generous, and the service is always fast and friendly. Great quality for the price—definitely a go-to spot for Japanese comfort food!

The Spork and Truth

Came here a couple weeks ago. I’m from Seattle where we seem to have teriyaki joints in every single strip mall. I was craving some good teriyaki and found this place.

I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki over white rice.

Overall, it was pretty good. Lots of good flavor from the sauce, but I definitely felt like the meat could have been less tough and less burnt. Also, maybe just me, but I’m not a fan of “spicy” meaning a sprinkling of chili powder, but rather additional spice incorporated into the sauce.

This place was such a treasure to find. Intimate seating area. I really like when you can tell a place has been here for a while. We got the lunch box g, chili chicken with crab puffs and egg roll that comes with a drink, and the teriyaki chicken and beef plate. The chili chicken was so good and flavorful, I had no need to add any sauces at all, the teriyaki plate was more savory than sweet, but not bad at all, so good! . It came out to $27, so if you’re thinking about going to Panda Express, I’d recommend you come here first. The portion size is simple to choose from and gives you a bang for your buck.

Edit: I forgot to add, but someone came in and asked for “the usual” and I was NOT trying to eavesdrop but the cashier said it loud enough that I heard it. If I wanted to know more about this place, I think that gave me an even better view of this place.
