    “My sister Victoria only asks for fries and chicken nuggets when we go out, and I am allergic to shellfish and avoid seafood in general. That said, we want to give our positive opinion with our limited ability of fully enjoying this lovely restaurant! The seating room was very cleanly and cozy, the booths had plenty of room to sit for us bigger folk, haha. The service was immediate, kind, and helpful. Although I couldn’t find fries and nuggets on the menu, they delivered! Apparently they’re both under the appetizers section. And Victoria thoroughly enjoyed them. I ordered the green salad, Tokyo Tonkatsu Ramen, and the fried sweet potato roll. The salad was perfectly chilled and the ginger dressing was very flavorful, 10/10. The soup felt homemade, the veggies were definitely al dente. The ramen isn’t really their selling point, but still felt healthy! I give it a 7/10. The roll though, I could 100% tell sushi is their expertise, it was the best fried sweet potato roll of my life, the crisp was everything. 15/10. Because of that, I ordered a side of their hibachi steak so I could give a complete review (they are Tokyo Grill after all)! The Hibachi Steak I ordered medium and it was super fresh and delicious, another 10/10! Next time I will order as an entree with their fried rice!”

    “Very delicious fresh food everytime!! We have found a diamond in the rough! Prices are reasonable and great customer service!!!! Highly recommend this establishment. So far we have tried a few items on their menu. But we expect to try it all!! The boba tea is outstanding. I really personally loved their Mei Fun. The teenager loves their Memphis roll. My husband had the hibachi stir fry and claims it is just amazing! And the portion sizes are great! We've gone a few times so there are more menu items not mentioned. But they all were great, we returned and tried more items. Below pictures is the general tso and the Lo mein. The other times we have gone we didn't take pics. I wish I had. But we didn't waste any time eating because it was all so delicious and tempting. If you happen by this place, GO IN they have a cute little area by the register with items for sale that are adorable ranging from hello kitty and friends to jewelry. Also reasonably priced. It truly is a great place.”

Then we had to pay extra for fried rice. We use to have a choice of white or fried. Our experience here felt like the cook was putting food on our plates that didn't go together on our pallets. Probably the last time here celebrating. So disappointed.”
