Me and my boyfriend went in around 4 or later and we got the hibachi steak and chicken also the blooming onion! The blooming onion was burnt and greasy the chicken was burnt and the steak was extra tough to eat the rice still had hard pieces in it!! When we spoke to the Manager/Cook he asked was this the first time we came in we said yes and then he stated thats the way we cook they have us 50% off then we asked about the grade and it was a 91We will NOT be going back

The food was pretty good but the filet was not cut up good and meat was cold. The waitress never came with a refill until we got to leave and asked for one. They were not very busy so service could have been a lot better. Chicken tasted more like bbq than teriyaki.

This place is awful!!! And expensive. Sanitation 91. I don't usually do a review but it was so bad I felt like people needed a warning. I was violently vomiting within an hour of eating the food which I ate very little because it was gross. Buyer beware!!

My first time eating here and I was disappointed. I've heard people say it was good and I've heard people say it was bad. I ordered chicken and rice bowl with vegetables. What I received was wrong. I got was some type of chicken, rice, a lot of onions, and a few bell peppers. The chicken was not good, like it had been heated up in a microwave so it needed a lot of sauce. The rice was soggy and some of the onions were tender and some of them were crispy so I took all of the onions out. My experience was bad overall. They had a grade 91. This will not be my first choice anymore. The food did not deserve that much $10 for one small bowl.

No signal in the building and you can't use the wifi. The last few times I've ordered takeout, they've left off one of my meals. I'm giving 3 stars because any mistakes they make they do try to work with you to correct it and they aren't rude about it but there has been situations where we've have 3 different groups paying and all of us has paid (cash and we watched each of us pay so we know we did) and they claimed that something wasn't paid for by the first group that left and try to make the other people behind them pay for something a second time. It's only happened once but I've been told by others that it happens regularly.

I've eaten several times at Tokyo with varying results, some good some fair but, the latest visit was appalling. I told the waitress three times I wanted my meal with 'white rice' and she repeated 'white rice' but, when my food came it was definitely not white rice. I don't think English is her native language. The cook kindly took it back and brought me a dish with white rice. Under the meat was a foul-smelling black oil, the consistency of 10W motor oil, that I assume was badly overused cooking oil(?). The meat seemed slightly overcooked but fortunately, neither the smell nor the taste of the oil was transferred to the meat. As I'm eating, I notice the 'white rice' is gradually getting darker. Lifting a portion, it appeared that the cook had dumped the original rice and plopped the new rice directly onto the pool of black oil. This black goo was seeping up into the rice, rendering it completely unfit to eat. I knew the food prep lacked consistency but this last dish was one of the worst I've ever been served anywhere. Caveat emptor !
