“Great food. Great price. Always delivered piping hot. A new fave for takeout.“

“This place is incredibly popular for a reason. The food is absolutely delicious. This is more of a modern take on American sushi but this place does also have traditional (raw) sushi. If you know someone who is turned off by sushi, take them here and everyone will leave happy. I cannot wait to go back!“

“Food good service excellent Adam made it special! I'm pretty sure we'll try it again“

“Sushi is fantastic, as well as the fried rice. Always fresh and delicious. Great people working at and operating the business“

“So I planned a last minute birthday dinner for my husband. I stopped by Monday and asked if they could seat about 30 people and they happily said yes! (We had more than that show up and they accommodate us! My mother n law and sister in law got there before us to decorate and the restaurant had all tables moved to seat us all together and already had chips and salsa on the tables! Everything was amazing!!! My husband thought we were just meeting his parents for dinner. So they were sitting up front waiting for us to arrive and the restaurant played along too asking us how many and taking us to the table! My husband had no idea! He couldn’t see anyone! Everyone was seated behind the wall in the front entrance! Everyone who was working was absolutely amazing! Smiling and kind!! They did a great job taking orders, getting food out to us very quickly and taking care of everything we needed! Even putting our desserts in the fridge for us to lighting the candles singing happy birthday and even signing his number 40! It was just an amazing experience! I highly recommend them! Thank y’all for being awesome ❤️“

“First time at this spot with two friends on a busy Friday evening—waited about 10 minutes for a table. The place was packed, and while the decor felt a bit overdone and not quite my aesthetic, we were excited to try the food.

Started with some warm sake (which was great), though service was noticeably slow. We ordered grilled squid as an appetizer—chewy, flavorful, and definitely a highlight. I also tried their clear broth soup. As a big fan of light, comforting soups, I really enjoyed it, though the mild seaweed/fishy aroma wasn’t my favorite part.

For mains, we went with a few sushi rolls. I took a recommendation from our server and got a roll with crispy shrimp—huge portion and really tasty. My friends ordered a couple of other rolls and we shared everything. All the sushi was good, but nothing that stood out as extraordinary.

Overall, it’s a decent spot if you’re nearby and craving sushi, but it felt pretty standard. Not bad by any means—just not a place I’d be rushing back to.“

“Loved everything I've ever ordered. Great customer service. Fresh cooked when ordered.“

“Amazing sushi! We love the dynamite roll, the pink lady, the amazing roll and the pineapple fried rice. They have gone above and beyond to follow safety protocols and keep everyone safe.“

“I absolutely love this place… it is soooo good , I can’t wait to go back“

“The most amazing sushi in Memphis area. So lucky to have found a fresh sushi place. Everything we have had was wonderful. Wonderful owners.“

“Wonderful food service and atmosphere!!!“

“We had East Meets West this past weekend and it was hands down THE BEST Asian food we've had anywhere in Memphis. My husband is VERY picky and truly appreciates authentic flavors, good quality, and high level food presentation and he was impressed - and it was takeout! Takeout is usually thrown together at other restaurants but this was a great experience. We had the leftovers the next day and he still raved about how amazing it was. Great job! We'll be back!“

“Very good and great value for take out Japanese.

Order from them a good bit and honestly they have always been solid.

Good fried rice, huge portions.

Sushi is solid. Crab Rangoon is really good.“

“Ordered take out last night! The food is amazing the portion size was crazy good! We will have leftovers for days!! Thank you so much Lynn!!“

“We love Saito! Always good food and good service! There was 13 of us tonight and we all enjoyed our time.“

“Some of the best sushi you will find in Memphis area. I’ve eaten at both restaurants within this week and both excellent. Man who complained about slow service evidently doesn’t know we are in a pandemic and expect service to be the same as before. Patience is key. I will say service was fast both times. Depends on time you go maybe? Worth the wait. Go try it 😉“

“We had a delicious lunch at Zen today. I can’t wait to come back for dinner. Everything was absolutely wonderful!“

“There was a disruption with the terminal at the register and the servers were so nice! They apologized a lot and gave another dish as a sorry for their mistake. I wasn’t originally very offended, as this happens a lot, but it touched me to see how much they tried to fix their mistake. Love this place! Always have adored the food!“

“I’ve lived in many different states, had sushi from a ton of places, but the sushi here was AMAZING!!! It’s hard to find good fresh salmon sushi!! And the Pho was amazing as well!!!!“

“Had a late lunch today with my bride of 44 years. I had the basic special of five different rolls and she had the chicken ketchu (sp?). Every item was spot on! You could taste the freshness of the fish with the taste and texture of the chicken OUTSTANDING! From the young man that brought our salads to the young lady that was serenading us to the conversations with the staff every thing about the meal, the ambiance and service was FIVE star. Thank you for a great meal.“

“The plain facade on the front of the building holds a delicious surprise when you walk into the door. As you walk closer to the cash register the Amazing aromas come from the very talented cooks. Freshly cooked ingredients are made to order with care and time. The food had a delicate balance of flavors which can be tasted by taste buds. The prices are reasonable. Sorry people, I didn't take pictures.“

“Sumo has some of the best sushi that I have tasted! Not to mention the hibachi is amazing! Fast friendly service and you can also order online. Give them a try!“

“Tokyo Grill delivers a solid dining experience with great food, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere. The food is fresh and flavorful, definitely above average, earning a solid 4 stars. The service is outstanding—staff are friendly, attentive, and quick, making the experience even better. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and welcoming, creating a nice spot to enjoy a meal. Overall, a great place for quality Japanese food with top-notch service. Worth a visit!

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are solid, with a good selection of fresh vegetable hibachi, tofu dishes, and sushi rolls that don’t skimp on flavor.

Kid-friendliness: Not“

“Just a nice place to have lunch or dinner. We like the food and the atmosphere. The servers and hostesses are all very nice.“

“Some of the best sushi I've had. All of the meat fried rice is good. Miso soup is great.

I just tried the hot and sour soup. Sad to say it was very disappointing compared to their other dishes. It tasted like weak miso with soy sauce in it. It wasn't spicy at all.“
