Tokyo Fast Food

I’ve lived a few blocks from these restaurant for years and honestly didn’t even know it was there till recently. I stopped in a few nights ago to get a to go order and I admit this place is a fun little hidden gem in the West LA area.

Walking in you definitely feel like you walked into a hole in the wall restaurant straight out of the late 80’s, early 90’s. All the teal and white coloring gives the place a retro look. The staff was super friendly and didn’t try to rush me to order. Ordering was a bit tough as their menu is spread out across nearly three walls. Most of the items have pictures of the food, but several things I had to ask about. So unless you know what you want going in, it may take a few mins to go through the entire menu. Still it was easy to order once I figured out what I wanted.

There isn’t a ton of seating and tables, but I was able to find somewhere to wait after placing my order. They seemed busy the night I went in as it took about 30-35 mins for my order to be ready which is totally fine as it was all made fresh which I appreciate. I went simple and just got their Beef Teriyaki Dinner and a side of the Vegetable Tempura.

The food was all good, though I wish there was some more pieces of the Tempura given the price point. Sides that, all of it was tasty and I am glad I finally checked this local neighborhood staple out!

I visited this place for the first time I got the chicken and beef teriyaki. I didn’t like the beef but the chicken was all right and the sauce I mean they can do better sauce. It was too watery and also they are charging 50 Cent for soy sauce. definitely not going back

Parking is difficult, but luckily, we snagged a spot as someone was leaving. The food is affordable, fresh and flavorable with generous portions. Recommend the beef yakisoba and chicken udon soup. Service was friendly, thank you!

Delicious and affordable!

I have been coming to this restaurant for the past 12 years! It has been one of my favorite, go-to restaurants because of their delicious foods and sweet owner!However, today I had a horrible experience!It was one of the most racist and most hostile environments I have ever faced in a restaurant! The young male behind the cash register, taking orders was not welcoming in any way and extremely rude to colored customers.We witnessed him be pleasant with all the guests that were Asian/Caucasian.I brought my family here in hopes of having an amazing meal as I have been for the past 12 years to support this small business. It was horrible to have my young children be faced with this kind of racist behavior, especially in 2024!
