“Food tasted great! Friendly staff and amazing service. Will be back!“

“It was our first time there. There were many tables open but they sat us right by the front door facing the door dash orders to be picked up. Then our server was abrupt and forgot to bring us our drinks until we reminded him. He was nice but almost like we were an inconvenience. Might have been better if we were sitting in the main part of the restaurant. Food was really good which is what made it a decent experience“

My husband got the bulgogi bento box and it was also a huge portion. Great food and the staff were super nice too!“

Kid-friendliness: The bento box options for the kids were great! My 2 and 5 year olds loved it.“

“Love this place. Very fresh sushi!“

“A good option

Let's start with the food; They have quite a variety of food, good quality ingredients although nothing different or a reference point, I consider that their quality-cost-portion ratio is still in good balance, I would recommend perhaps improving the speed in food preparation a little .

Service, just good, nothing bad, nothing to highlight, it only remains as something that would not provide added value.

Regarding the environment, it is good, enough spaces for people, you can interact with the people you go to without any restrictions, you can go with your family, friends without any problem.“

“If you like chocolate then this is definitely a place worth visiting. There is an interwebs video thingy about how they make the chocolate which inspired us to visit. The chocolate is more european in style, and also not too sweet. I loved it and also exploring the japanese market nearby. A fun afternoon!“

“Fresh, Fresh, Fresh Seafoods! Great Service! Tasty foods.“

“I’ve been going to Tokio Sake for last 10 years. The food is amazing and the variety of Sake to choose from, the Chefs are creative and consistent . Not many places carry bluefin tuna but Tokio Sake does. Sashimi is fresh and kitchen entrees are outstanding.“

“The drinks are great and food does not disappoint. We celebrated Valentine’s Day today with good service and a gorgeous atmosphere. Love this spot for work happy hours, a special night out or dinner with the family.“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“We love this place and we will going to miss it“

“Always great entertainment and food!!!“

“Came here from Dallas. It was like $9 for a bowl of udon absolutely loaded with chicken. The chicken was unbelievably tender and the broth was super good. Like unironically, this was the best udon I've ever had and it was like $5 cheaper than what I'm used to in Dallas. And the lady was very nice.“

“Love it!!!, the food and service was amazing. Would go for it again. 10/10!“

“What a great experiences! The food was amazing! The family enjoyed themselves in the beautiful restaurant and wonderful staffs! Definitely reminded my daughters of grandma's cooking! 🫰“

“Food was absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend!!“

“Great sushi. Friendly service. Consistent quality.“

“They had yakitori, which I tried. I ordered the chicken thigh, pork belly, and sausage. Everything is cooked to perfection and smells good from the charcoal fire. The pork belly is my favorite because of the fat, the meat was crispy and tender. I ordered the karaage don (mayo & poached egg) as my main course. I believe the teriyaki sauce was overdone. As a result, the chicken lost its crunch.“

“Best sushi. Better than your fancy Chicago spot. It’s the only restaurant we frequent regularly. They have something for everyone including non sushi lovers.“

“Great place to hangout and good sushi“

“The food was amazing and the service was even better! Jacklyn was so helpful throughout the whole menu process and was very attentive to mine and every other customers needs! The owner, Steve was also great as well! I highly recommend the restaurant.“

“Very good quality fish. great service“

“If you want the very best sushi go to Taste of Tokyo! We can’t say enough about how nice, friendly, and creative the owners and their staff are! If they don’t have something on their sushi menu that you want, then just ask! And they will gladly make it! If you want to relax with comfortable seats, great background music, reasonable prices, then visit Taste of Tokyo! If you love to support small businesses in your community then visit Taste Of Tokyo! We are just so grateful for them and their Great Foods!“

“I absolutely love the chick who works here at the front counter, she’s so friendly, I love her energy. Doesn’t hurt the food is really good. But honestly I look forward to seeing her every time I order there! Thanks for your good attitude towards the service industry, it’s appreciated.“

“Curry has good flavor. Yakisoba has good flavor, but mixing the two in the same dish was too much. The yakisoba also comes with thinly sliced pork mixed in so it's not vegetarian. The karage chicken had good crunch and was soft on the inside but seemed over priced for the quantity given. There's a good variety of side sauces that you can put in to go cups yourself at the counter. The wasabi soy sauce was the best. There's a long wait time.“

“delicioso! 100% recomendado“

“Really good place! I was expecting generic Chinese but I was pleasantly surprised. I asked the owner if the egg foo young was made with real eggs, or eggs from a carton. He was kind of shocked at the notion he would use eggs from a carton and assured me it was made with fresh eggs and freshly-made vegetables, like he would not be caught dead doing it any other way. That gave me a good feeling about the place - he clearly had pride in what he does. We had a vegetarian and a celiac in the party and he was very understanding and respectful of their needs. We are picky eaters but were all very happy with our meals, which were really good. Big portions too!“
