Terrible. Steak was VERY over cooked, tough and inedible.!!! I'll be feeding the leftovers to my dog!! . Chicken was dry and tough!!! Chef spoke Spanish to other guests!!.The chef was not Asian and it is very RUDE RUDE RUDE MANNERS for the Chef having conversations in a foreign language in front of GUESTS!!!! If I wanted a Spanish atmosphere, I would have gone to a Mexican restaurant. Sheesh.. Then making jokes and laughing that GUESTS do not understand,, with a thick Spanish accent, I have to keep asking, what? . Could it get worse? YES!!! Then we're charged $10 for two glasses of TEA. Then charged $10 for two cups of rice. Total bill,? $140.!!!! !!!! For over cooked, tough, inedible steak, dried out chicken, and RUDE manners. STAY CLEAR of this place.

The food and the chef were disappointing and the service was nearly non-existent. They went on break 15 minutes after we sat down (we got there when they opened) and we had to random people down to get drinks. Not at all worth the ~$80 per person.

First time at Tokyo Wacko. The food was actually good, but the experience was rough. It was way too hot inside no working A/C and all the doors were shut in the middle of summer. It was hard to enjoy the meal in that heat. Definitely needs to be fixed.

Great time. Food proces too high but expected in tourist area. Staff good some others not helpful. Soup was bitter but everything else was great. Steak, shrimp, chicken. Rice with chicken was 5 bucks more and not much In There so not worth it. You can get same at another hibachi place for cheaper. Meals running 25-35 bucks.

My go to place for Japanese food & teppan. I’ve been going here since I moved here in 2021, and it’s one of my favorite places in Long Beach! I normally go during the lunch hours when it’s less busy.

My wife & me went to Tokyo Wako at the Pike Shoreline during Memorial weekend and these are my reflections. The food was adequate and the service was okay. I ordered filet minion and it was served in soup which was off putting. We barely saw our server after he delivered our entrees but when we did see him he was nice and accommodating. We spent over $200 for dinner for 2 which wasn’t worth it.
Wait too long , service taking too long for the food and the cook, people got served before us

Birthday party for a relative, and it was the most.

I have been to many of these kinds of Japanese restaurants, and this was the first time I did not get what I ordered. The chef gave another man at our table who seemed to be a good friend of his most of his attention and the scallops I had ordered along with his steak and shrimp. The traditional show seems to be getting lost and watered down along with not much enthusiasm from the chefs. They did adjust the bill after finding out I did not get what I ordered and overall it was OK. But I think ok is not good enough for this style of restaurants and the price. There should be more and you should come away feeling happy about the meal and entertainment factor.

I visited this place with my family , was very upset about quality food , steak was like a gum very dry and it was not possible to chowing , and piece was very small . But price for that dry piece was like we been that evening in a luxury restaurant . Our mood went down after that experience that evening .

Great tasting food that's not afraid to season the way you request (a lot of garlic butter) without the extra charging. The establishment is clean, the hosts are attentive, drinks & sushi are pretty good & Anselmo, is our go to Chef.
