Toyama Express Japanese Restaurant

I didn’t want to leave a review because I use to come here years ago and it was good especially for the price. Today I went and ordered STEAK… let me just say the steak wasn’t steak and im not kidding it was bloody tasting but overcooked as well, it wasn’t liver but something close and cut in small cubes. Idk if it was a cheaper version of steak or other types of meat soaked in blood but it was weird… I promise I’m not lying or trying to be negative, I didn’t want to make the review, the people were polite but it was something off with that meat… I didn’t feel well after I ate it which confirmed it couldn’t have been steak. I made the review because I take hospitality seriously and I wouldn’t want anyone else to be deceived thinking they are getting something they aren’t. I could've sent the state out there but I won’t do that. Nice people but please, just get real steak and avoid other issues.

Wouldn’t go, terrible customer service and food . Asian old lady is horrible.

I have been coming here for years. Always get the Hibachi Steak & Chicken, sub zucchini for mushrooms. Best shrimp sauce. I have never been disappointed. The reason why I gave it 3 stars.....the cost. Before COVID, my order was about $12. After COVID (2022), my order was about $17. I haven't been in a few months and today my order was $20. While my meal is delicious, it's not worth $20. It makes me sad because I know they will not survive their prices (no one was in the restaurant, no lunch line, and no piled up phone/to go orders) and I won't be able get their amazing shrimp sauce anymore.

The floors are sticky. The food is really, really bland, and the chicken is chewy. They didn't even make good fried rice. I guess if you like food that tastes worse than what you can make at home, then this is perfect.

The food was wonderful. I just call it in, and they have it ready for me every time. The carrots are my favorite.

Order teriyaki chicken and broccoli but this is what I got. I see why it was empty during lunch. Food was not good shrimp sauce taste like pink mayo. Chicken way over done rice was salty. The manager watched me as I filled my ice cup thinking I was stealing as I was getting soy sauce. My first and last time visiting

One of the best yum-yum sauces around. Rivals most of the other fast food Japanese restaurants. Would recommend
