Tokyo Japanese Restaurant

I live in the Twin Cites and have visited many restaurants. This is by far one of the best places I have eaten. Large portions, excellent food and outstanding staff! Will definitely come back when visiting!

Great place to have in Pierre... I hope it lasts, and I encourage everyone to try it. Food is excellent. I recommend the rolls and wontons, though everything is great!

Clean restaurant from sushi bar to the bathrooms. Wait service was good, but not excellent. We started with the Squid Yakitori, two skewers of tiny bits of squid alternating with asparagus, covered in a brown sauce. The squid was almost impossible to get off the little wooden sticks without a fight. No amount of wrestling with chop sticks or a fork worked, one needed to bit it off and get messy. The sauce was good, I later used it for my sushi. The restaurant has an interesting menu gimmick of buy two sushi rolls and get a third free from the “Chef’s Special Menu”. With four+ pages of sushi rolls to choose from, know the menu before you go in, we didn’t. I felt a bit rushed to make my choice, husband on the hand found what he wanted. The waiter took his order, I still didn’t know what I wanted, he got his order served way before me. I made a couple mistakes when I ordered my buy two get one free choice. I accidentally ordered a roll with tempura coated shrimp and, a roll with soy paper wrappers.
I gave the tempura shrimp to my husband, per him; it was just okay. One of my two rolls had crunchy rice things in it. The crunch and flavor really took away from the roll and masked the more delicate flavor of the fish. It just wasn’t pleasant and I couldn’t focus away from the crunchy stuff. There may or may not have been any fish with this roll, that’s how bad an eating experience it was for me.
Importantly, it really should be illegal to wrap a sushi roll in anything pink especially a thin film pink soy paper wrapper. But that’s how the other two rolls came. The soy paper wrappers were limp, flavorless, sticky and tough to chew. The sushi roll mostly fell apart as I tried to remove the pink paper stuff. The pink paper was very off-putting for me.
The sauce, more pink stuff, was on the sharp vinegar side and didn’t bring anything to the party.
I have eaten sushi from London, UK to Seattle, WA and places in-between, this was some of the worst I’ve had and ranks up there with grocery store sushi only worse with the pink soy paper wrapper. If you know what good sushi should be, you may be disappointed.
However, the restaurant was busy on a Wednesday night with both dine-in and take out food.

Parking: Restaurant is located at a shopping mall, acres of parking, some in the shade.

Very good. Came in not knowing what I wanted. My waiter was so thoughtful, listened to my likes,shared his suggestions with me and helped me pick an excellent dish!

My kids and I love ordering takeout here. The hibachi chicken and noodles are so so good plus their sushi rolls and seaweed salad and pot stickers are our favorite. They truly have some of the best customer service in town and a great atmosphere! I'm so glad this restaurant came to Pierre!

This place is always fantastic, has great service and great food!
