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

Food was nothing out of the ordinary. Served on thin paper plates with cheap plastic silverware. The main issue is being charged to REMOVE onions from the order. The roundabout excuse was that they substitute more of another vegetable for the onions, however i did not ask for more of anything. And we didn’t receive any different size portion of veggies to justify the upcharge. What if someone is allergic to a particular vegetable? Do they have to pay for having an allergy? Then the kiosk asks for a tip but you have to serve yourself and pick your own food up from the counter on the paper thin plate. I never mind tipping for a service but I don’t tip to do the work myself. Won’t be back.
Great place to grab dinner ,sushi, fried rice and miso soup. Walked for the courtyard Marriot to grab some sushi. Split a beef and chicken and a tempura plate with the wife. Also ordered Salmon sushi. Beef and chicken both came with fried rice, it would have been perfect portion for one person but the tempura plate also came with fried rice so we were a little overloaded with fried rice. The fried rice was tasty just the same. The salmon sushi was average nothing special but not bad either. The Miso soup was a basic Miso from a paste. Same thing it tasted good but wasn’t anything special. Price was fair for a much good as wee got. It would have been nice to be able to just add tempura to an existing plate, but it worked out. I will add that they had some kind of magical mayo sauce. It was sweet and tangy but definitely Asian inspired. Everything was good but I did I have to wrestle the last container from my wife’s grip!

Been going there for 10 years. Great food and great service. I can count on 1 hand how many times something was incorrect. I go here a few times a week.

Have been going to this JOT for many years but haven't been there in a while. We ordered hibachi steak and chicken with no onion and I did not notice until after I sat down that they charged me an extra dollar for no onions. When my husband went up there to complain, they just said that they gave us extra vegetables instead of onions, but we didn't ask for that, we simply wanted them to leave off onions and they charged us. The vegetable portion was not any bigger than usual, so they didn't even give us extra vegetables. We absolutely will not be back.

Always friendly, fast, and fresh food. The white sauce is THE best.
I used to go to this location all the time before moving out of SC. I loved it so much, and I really wish there was a location in the Rochester, NY area. This may be strange to leave in a Google review, but please set up locations up here in NY. I dream of the great taste and value of Joy of Tokyo, and I would love to share it here.

Used Uber Eats....Dude, are you serious? These Uber Eats orders are automated, all printed out, no confusion (oh, I'm sorry Mr. Customer, I didn't hear you ask for that item)...no, it's all printed out.
But yet, you missed nearly $20 worth of items. How???
Thank God, Uber Eats does give a credit for the missing items. But now, my wife is going to the local hibachi store to get the bottle of White Sauce that you left out, and more spring rolls that you left out.
The whole purpose of us placing this Uber Eats order was because we didn't want to leave.
Attention to detail...does anyone have it anymore????

Joy of Tokyo on Pelham Road is always a great experience! The food is fresh, flavorful, and comes out quickly, which makes it perfect for both a sit-down meal or a takeout option. The staff is always very nice—friendly, polite, and they make sure you’re well taken care of every time.
It’s consistent, clean, and has that welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back. Definitely one of my go-to spots in the area!

Very fast service. Food was ready within 5 minutes of ordering. Great for a quick pickup heading to work in the evening.
