“Our waiter Steve was super chill. Explained everything to us, so that we can understand. Asked about allergies. Telling us how to order to have a more enjoyable experience which was awesome. The Bluefin Tuna Encrudo was awesome. Masu Sashimi was amazing as always. My favorite would have to be the Eel Roll, it was smokey, the sauce was captivating and the presentation was nice.“

“Almost cried when I took a bite because it instantly reminded me of Korea🥲 Honestly, the cheese katsu is better than the one’s I’ve had there. Having 3 different side dishes per well and the effort of making every single item in the bento box so delicious reflects how much care and detail was put into making this. I normally never leave reviews, but this was so amazing. I will be back over and over again until the day I leave STL. Also, we got a little side dish on the house which was super tasty🥹“

“Ordered the spicy pork katsu ramen today.

It had a great first taste — bold and flavorful. Both the broth and the pork were rich and satisfying at first. But after getting through about half the bowl, I started to find it a bit too salty. The strong flavor, while impressive at the beginning, became a bit overwhelming as I kept eating.

Still, a solid choice if you enjoy intense, savory ramen — just be prepared for the saltiness!“

“Stop what you’re doing right now, and give this place a try. I’m not even joking, this was the best sushi restaurant I have tried in quite some time. Let me give you the run down on our experience:

My Dad and I have been looking for a good sushi spot for quite some time now. Tokyo Sushi is about a 10 minute drive for both of us, so we decided to stop in for dinner last night. This is a lovely restaurant inside, very clean and lots of comfortable seating.

Our server was phenomenal. He was prompt, attentive, and very friendly. We got started with some Gyoza, and also split a Philly Roll. We also decided to add on some Chicken Fried Rice incase those 2 weren’t sufficient in filling us up. Everything was bursting with flavor and tasted extremely fresh.

The Gyoza were soft and flavorful and the Philly Roll was super light and fresh, but the best item by a long shot was the Chicken Fried Rice. It tasted like something a luxury hibachi restaurant would whip up. The chicken was nice and crispy and the rice was browned and salty like it should be.

We will be back SOON to try more delicious menu items. Can’t believe this place has been flying under our radar for so long!“

“Food was amazing, and staff were very knowledgeable about selections and cuts available (shoutout to Jim). The Chongqing spicy broth added a great but not overbearing heat, while the sweeter Sukiyaki style broth paired perfectly with the beef we received. The course came with a plentiful amount of vegetables and other sides, with complementary additional spices and flavorings. Perfect place to grab a warm meal in the winter, at a great spot.“

Its better than going to a hibachi restaurant, and far cheaper, too. The only downside is that I don't have a bigger spoon to scope more rice into my mouth at once.“

The sushi is very good and the service is always been polite and very attentive to clear plates. I have never been rushed as I enjoy talking endlessly to friends while eating here. The bathrooms are elegant and very clean however, I think the bathroom doors are very heavy. I believe that is why they are usually blocked open. They also have very quiet hand dryers. The lobby is also elegant , the doors are hard to open because there is a very strong air handling system that keeps fresh air circulated I enjoy bringing friends here For a relaxing meal and conversation. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good place to eat.“
