We have tried every teppanyaki restaurant in town, and Tokyo Garden stands out by far. The food is always phenomenal, and the portions are huge--yet somehow, we still manage to eat every last bite! You definitely don't want to miss their incredibly tender steak or delicious fried rice. Their sushi rolls are amazing too! Between the wonderful food, generous portions, and warm, family-like atmosphere, no other place compares. We always leave happy, full, and looking forward to our next visit!

The hostess was so friendly and routinely stopped by for refills and to check if we needed anything. The Teppan chef was amazing, he was super friendly, made lots of fun jokes and did a wonderful show for our table while cooking super delicious portions! My husband and I both ordered the steak and shrimp teppan and it came with miso soup, a ginger dressed salad, a huge mound of delicious fried rice, bean sprouts (my fave!), grilled veggies, our protein of choice, and a scoop of yummy ice cream. The portions are huge so come super hungry or be prepared to take home leftovers! This place is perfect for large gatherings or date nights (keep in mind tables are sometimes shared but with adequate space) Found my new fave Japanese restaurant!

We were greeted by a wonderful waitress who was very friendly very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure that we were completely satisfied with our experience. The food overall was good unfortunately my combination fried rice was definitely lacking flavor. The portion sizes were OK but I have received much larger portions for a cheaper price at other restaurants. The hibachi chef definitely put on a good show, all the Teppanyaki was cooked to perfection and my family was fully satisfied with the performance. So overall good experience but the food was definitely nothing to brag about definitely lacking flavor.

Honestly the show here itself is already worth the money in itself. Our chef was straight up doing some fire style jutsu magic. The food itself I thought was a bit salty but other than that portions were huge and meat was perfectly cooked. Went here on a date with a co-worker. She didn't know it was a date but thats okay. It's a work in progress... well now we're not on talking terms anymore so it's been an emotional rollercoaster. Food was great though, so it probably wasn't the restaurants fault.

I'll be back again to try some more rolls in the near future.

I wanted to give this business the benefit of the doubt, but my experience left me feeling…read morefrustrated and uncomfortable. During my visit, I ordered only a drink. The employee/owner was very friendly and engaged me in conversation while processing my payment. Because of the ongoing conversation, I didn't immediately review my receipt. Later, when I checked the receipt, I discovered that I had been charged for an item that I did not order. The charge was significantly higher than what I expected to pay based on my actual purchase. What bothered me most was not the dollar amount itself, but the fact that the receipt did not match what I requested. Customers should never have to worry about being charged for items they didn't order, and I would strongly encourage anyone visiting to carefully review their receipt before leaving. I can't speak for everyone else's experience, but based on mine, I left feeling disappointed and hesitant to return. Transparency and accuracy are basic expectations when paying for a meal, and unfortunately that was not my experience here.

Came to Asian BBQ and Pho for the second time because the first time we only tried the pho and…read morewanted to come back for the BBQ. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. The sign-up list showed that there was only one party of three ahead of us, but we were still seated after the party that signed up after us. We were told that a two-person table had become available for the smaller party, but the communication could have been much better. Once we were seated, I specifically asked our server if I could order pho instead of eating the BBQ, and he told me yes and that the pho would just be added to the bill. When we went to pay, however, they still charged us for an additional BBQ person even though I did not eat any of the BBQ and had ordered a beef pho bowl instead. If the rule is that everyone at the table gets charged for BBQ regardless of whether they eat it, they should have a big, clearly visible sign explaining that, and the server should have told us when I specifically asked. To make things worse, when we had questions at checkout, we were told our server had already left. No one ever told us he was leaving or that another server would be taking over our table. It's unfortunate because the pho here is actually good, but my family said the BBQ was bland, there weren't many options, and there were very few side dishes. Based on our experience, they should just get rid of the BBQ altogether rather than continue offering a bland, limited option with a confusing pricing policy. Between that and the poor service, we will not be coming back. This type of experience is definitely going to cost them customers.

They will seat you with random people so don't expect the experience to be intimate, which will cause issues because now some people in your party or the other party don't get a clear view cause everyone is being squeezed in. Total service, beyond horrible. From waiting to even be seated to waiting a while to even get your drink order taken or drinks. You will sit looking around, and actually be forgotten but eventually be remembered. Waitress forgot about our order for an appetizer, and hardly checked on us. I seen other Chefs and even ours was drinking on the clock during performance and that sounds dangerous mix for involving fire. The food was SUPER oily but not bad.

I've officially reached my limit with Kyoto! For over $20 a plate, I could go to an actual…read moreteppanyaki restaurant and at least get a dinner show out of the deal. Instead, I'm paying premium prices to sit under fluorescent lights and question my life choices. The "Combo" Math that Isn't Mathing Then there's the pricing logic--or lack thereof. Why does a chicken and steak combo cost 20% more than the steak plate alone? * Standard Logic: A combo price should land somewhere between the cost of the chicken and the steak. * Kyoto Logic: "Since you want both, we're going to tax your indecisiveness." Either they have zero respect for their customers, or they're catastrophically bad at math. I'm betting on the latter. Honestly, I could buy a Blackstone grill for the cost of three or four visits to this place. The "Service" (If You Can Call It That) To top it off, the customer service is abysmal. The staff acts personally offended by your very existence. Even the older gentleman--who I assume is the owner--is the worst of the bunch. He radiates a vibe that says, "I hope you choke on that brown rice." Final Verdict: This is the last time they get a dime from me. I'm taking my business to my backyard.
