“Food is Explosively Delicious“

“Our favorites are Shrimp or House Mai Fun, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, Pepper Chicken, Steak Hibachi, and of course the Egg Rolls!“

“1st time ordering here. Was in mood for oriental food. Happen to pick this place. Menus were easy to navigate. Pretty diverse choices. Mainly chicken, steak combos. I tried the Steak Teriaki, so did my wife. Mine was a little tough,(overcooked) but my wife's was perfectly tender. I think we will return but I will order mine rare.“

“Im not from the area. Chose this place bc of the good reviews and it was 7 mins from where I was. The universe knew what we needed. I went with my daughter and my 8 month old granddaughter. I cant explain how accommodating and amazing the customer service was. I wish I remembered out waitresses name. She was perfect. The food was phenomenal. I have this place saved bc I will definitely be going there mamt more times.“

“Great food, friendly staff, and some of the best Ramen I’ve had a Greenville“

“I have enjoyed Tokyo Cafe every time I have been to eat there. The sushi rolls are amazing and the Hibachi chicken is delicious!! They care about you! What makes this place better than most is their take out, not because they are perfect, but because when they mixed up our bags, they called us to tell us they did not give us one of our bags!“

“We had Hu for our server and he did a fantastic Job. The sushi was delicious and the appetizers were really good too.“

“Great service and fresh food.“

“Delicious food. You must try.“

“I met a friend here on Friday for lunch. This place came recommended highly for great Chinese in Greer. Looked over the reviews and knew what I wanted. I ordered the crab rangoon and they were hot and delicious! Bourbon chicken lunch special as my entree and my friend said they had philly cheesesteak egg rolls so I got one of those to try. Wasn't impressed with the egg roll but that bourbon chicken was absolutely delicious! Mixing the rice in with the extra sauce is the way to go!

The owner is super sweet and her staff are fantastic. Restaurant is clean and very well ran. I look forward to coming back!

My friend got the sweet snd sour chicken. She said it was okay. Her friend got the hibachi chicken bowl and it was massive! The portion sizes are massive! Come hungry.“

“I don't always chase hibachi theatrics through a cloud of onion volcanoes... but when I do...

Tokyo Grill greets you like a neon wink on a Tuesday night. The doors slide open and—whoosh—soy sauce, sizzling garlic, and ambition hit you in the face like a culinary pep talk. The grill hisses. The spatulas tap-dance. Somewhere, a shrimp achieves liftoff and lands with the confidence of a gymnast sticking the dismount.

Mini-scene: I’m seated at the edge of the action. The chef builds a tower of onion rings, lights it up, and suddenly we’re all gathered around a tiny edible campfire. A kid gasps. A dad pretends he’s not impressed. I lean back and murmur, “If dinner’s going to be a show, it better earn a standing ovation.” Tokyo Grill? It bows without being asked.

The steak arrives with that caramelized whisper—seared on the outside, tender enough to make you reconsider your life choices on the inside. Fried rice that’s fluffy but decisive. Vegetables that snap like they’ve got somewhere to be. And the sauces? Let’s just say I considered writing them a thank-you note.

Here’s the wisdom, tucked between bites: sometimes joy isn’t subtle. Sometimes it arrives with sparks, sizzle, and a little flair. And if you’re going to gather around a table, gather around one that makes you feel like you were invited on purpose.

Stay sizzling, my friends.“

“I love Joy of Tokyo to begin with. However, this one is exceptional. I came in and communicated that I wasn’t able to read the menu (I just had to move down the counter a little bit in order to see better and said this to make me walking away a bit less awkward). The kind guy at the front voluntarily started explaining the menu and reading each item very professionally, respectfully, and patiently. I was blown away by the kind gesture, which is the essence things that make dining anywhere a stellar experience.

Thank you for reading this review and I hope your experience here is as great as mine always is!“

“Always delicious and fast even though everything is made to order. You can’t beat the all you can eat price. It’s the equivalent of ordering two specialty roles, but you can order almost everything on the menu. We go about once a month, service is always great too.“

“Go to place every week. Typically get shrimp/chicken plate. Reminds me of Kampi Tokyo for flavor. Compared with Fujis - I like the vegetables here more as Fuji is too salty. I like the Fiji chicken better / for the shrimp Sakura is better BUT I wish they'd remove the tails. I prefer the rice at Sakura as well. Would be interested in a low carb option, maybe half meat and half vegetables. I tried swapping rice with vegs at Fuji and it was a salty mess... dont get me wrong I love Fujis and was their first customer many years ago in Spartanburg location... Just using to compare / what it would take to get 5 stars. Also, add mushrooms to veg!

Took me awhile to go here the first time as it does look run down. Some TLC would likely attract more people. Hence 2 on atmosphere.“

“Nice little place for a quick bite! The food was prepared fast but with the right flavor, it felt fresh and tasty
Price wise, around the same for similar places, I could spend the same amount of money in a fast burger joint and not have a satisfying meal like the one I had there
I definitely will come back whenever I near by“

“I’ve lived here for 24 years, and tonight was the first time I’d ever been to (or even heard of ) Shanghai Tokyo. I’m from NY and was lucky to experience some of the best Chinese out there. Y’all...this place is hands down THE BEST Chinese I’ve ever had in Greenville! I took a bite of each of my dishes and found myself talking aloud (to myself) about how good it was and how happy I am! 🤣🤦‍♀️“

“Consistently good meals, whether we eat in or order to go, ever since they opened several years ago. We like the chicken, steak, or shrimp bowls with noodles or you can have rice. Our friends say Konnichiwa has the best sushi in this area. Always friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend.“

“My last visit was a few months ago and the quality was lack luster for the price but my daughter wanted sushi for her birthday and I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement in management as well as the quality of the food and its contents I will remain a faithful customer as long as this becomes the normal the lack of the liquor license does take away from my “beer while I wait” they are rectifying this as the sign inside says so if you have a similar opinion please give them a fresh try“

“We had dinner here last night for a birthday. There were also about 6-7 other big parties eating this night. They had 2 chefs, 1 waitress and 1 bartender. While being short staffed, everyone was taken care of. The waitress never stopped, kept a smile on her face and helped everyone in a timely manner. The staff last night deserves a gold star! Thank you for keeping great attitudes despite the huge crowds and limited help.“

“I eat here often . I am now in the parking lot waiting for the restaurant to open .this is not fine dining but that being said I enjoy the food .“
