    Spicy Tuna Roll
    Maxine J.

    Appreciate the ease and speed for ordering and limited interaction with disgruntled employees. HUGE menu selection. Still no bar but convenient, safe, clean food hall/eatery. EVERY dish comes out looking like the picture and always "tastes like more!" Check out the pics of my crab rangoon (perfect amount of cream cheese, sweetness, red onion and warmth), spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls. TWO thumbs up. I'm a creature of habit and don't need all the fancy sauces and presentation. Fresh sushi is good enough to stand alone. #IYKYK

    Lava Roll - crab, avocado, cucumber. grilled salmon in a cream cheese mixture on top and seared.

    1st things 1st - This is mall sushi. Read that as imitation seafood and take from it what you will. Got Any 3 Any 3 Rolls - eel & avocado; shrimp & avocado; shrimp tempura - Tasty. Will get again if in the area and the hankering hits but tell them no lettuce next time (lettuce in sushi is odd to me and adds nothing in terms of flavor). Added spicy mayo and eel sauce. Spicy mayo had a warm tingle. Also got the Lava Roll. They loved it. Im not a fan of salmon (which is on this) but tasted it and it wasn't bad. Grilling it def made a difference for me but still the strongest flavor is salmon so wasn't my fav but it also wasn't my order. Glad I tasted it.

    Tekken Punch is one of the counters at The Spot, and you can see them when you enter the east entrance, as they're located straight ahead. Their menu offers various appetizers, teriyaki dishes, donburi ,yakisoba, oden, Chinese eats, and sides. We ordered the Teriyaki Combo, where you can choose 2 out of the 3 proteins (from chicken, beef, and/or shrimp); I opted for the beef and shrimp, with an upcharge of the noodles (you could also choose white rice or fried rice). The shrimp could have been more fresh, as it did have a slight 'fishy' taste and odor to them. They were also overcooked that resulted in some rubbery-ness. The noodles were fine, but we didn't feel it was worth the upcharge. The beef seemed like the typical soft textured meat you'd get at Chinese restaurants/carry-outs; there could have been more flavor to this. The combo was served with a side of broccoli/cauliflower, but they were a bit wet and could have been more drained. I was curious if Yum Yum sauce came with, and it did! However, the sauce was super thin and watery, and didn't really complement or help the dish at all; I did request for some sriracha, but they seem to not have had any available, never had some to begin with, and/or the staff just had difficulty in locating it. I was provided some packets of hot sauce, but that wouldn't have worked. Staff were friendly, but the wait for the order seemed to take forever - there didn't seem to be any efficient way of getting the finished orders - in-person orders were competing with mobile/online orders, and there were items that were already packaged and bagged, ready to go, but they were just being stacked on the counter in the back. Patrons had to constantly ask if their orders were ready. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot. +overcooked shrimp +not worth the noodles substitution with upcharge +watery Yum Yum sauce +no sriracha +friendly service +located in The Spot +plenty of parking available

    Takoyaki
    Greg S.

    I absolutely LOVE Takoyaki, which is a popular Japanese street food. I have had this many times both in America and in Tokyo. Tasting this at this restaurant took me back to when I was in the mall for Tokyo Joypolis getting this treat from a small restaurant stall. This restaurant made it absolutely perfect. The taste of the mayo, bonito flakes, and octopus were in total sync. If I had the money, I would have ordered at least three more orders. It was that good! The service was fast! Customer service was excellent. If you enjoy Japanese street and comfort food and habachi style, come check this place out to make your taste buds happy!

    Taken Punch Yakisoba Vegetable

    The vegetable yakisoba was a major disappointment because it didn't have enough vegetables. It only had broccoli and cabbage, which I consider nothing. I was hoping for broccoli, carrots, onions, cabbage, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, bean sprouts and pea pods. This dish was very disappointing. This was my first time ordering from there and my last time.

    Shrimp teriyaki (customized- all veg, no rice)
    Tonia K.

    Tekken Punch is a great spot for teriyaki within The Spot food hall! It's not a standalone location. So the seating and hours all follow The Spot (open court seating) .They offer other cuisine, such as Chinese and other Japanese favorites. The teriyaki portions are filling and can be vegetarian-friendly, so no complaints about that...in fact, props! You can order onsite (kiosk or register) or online via The Spot's app. Everything has always been ready timely and service was efficient. Check it out!

    Mix Katsudon with Curry
    John L.

    FUN FACT: Tekken is the name of a Japanese video games series centered on hand to hand combat. Tekken, 鉄拳 translates to "Iron Fist." This eatery has a small variety of Chinese and Japanese food. I tried 2 Japanese dishes and 2 Chinese dishes. Yakisoba Shrimp, Mixed Katsudon with Curry, Fried Dumplings, and Orange Chicken. 1) The Yakisoba Shrimp had medium sized shrimp, noodles, broccoli, cabbage, and onions in a brown sauce. It was stir-fried in very little sauce. The sauce was lacking in flavor with no depth. It tasted like soy sauce, sugar, and Worcester sauce. The noodles were similar to ramen. The dish was cooked well, and the ingredients were fresh. If you know how to make sauce, you could buy this and fix it. :) 2) The Mix Katsudon with Curry had panko coated shrimp, chicken, and pork with pickled radish, carrots, and potatoes placed on a bed of rice. It was topped with curry gravy. All of the ingredients were cooked well and tasted fine except for the gravy. It wasn't savory at all. It was smooth and thick with mild flavors of soy sauce, ketchup, and Worcester sauce. It tasted like the Yakisoba sauce with ketchup added. It wasn't hot, which was surprising since this is a curry sauce. This sauce was edible but unappealing! It ruined the dish. 3) The fried dumplings had 9 pieces that were filled with pork and vegetables. The wrapper was thin and slightly crispy all the way around. Loved the thin wrapper, not the deep frying of the dumplings. You're supposed to steam them and then pan fry the bottom of the dumplings. The filling was light and moist with a mild seasoning. The overall flavor was decent but not special. The dumpling sauce tasted like cheap soy sauce mixed with salty miso soup. It was just awful. 4) The Orange chicken had sliced carrots and diced scallions with white rice. You can substitute fried rice, fried noodles, or steamed vegetables at an extra charge. The chicken was tender and moist with a good fresh taste. The coating was crunchy and had just the right thickness. The orange sauce was nicely balanced in sweetness and tartness. It had orange zest, which gave the sauce an extra kick of tanginess. It was well-rounded with sweet, sour, salty, and umami flavors. This dish was outstanding! It's funny that the best dish here is an Asian dish invented in America. :) The service was polite and helpful. It took 20 minutes for my order. Others have mentioned the long preparation time, so plan to wait. The eatery, dining room, and restrooms were clean. There's plenty of seating because they are in a food court. The ambiance is modern industrial. They are located in Restaurant Row Apollo shopping center which is near the Metro Green Line. The parking is free and plentiful. This place should get a 2 star rating, but since this is a first visit, I am giving some leeway in case there was a temporary problem.

    You get a ton of food for the price, at least for the mixed curry that I ordered. Tasted good - comfort food. One thing I'd point out is that there was much more curry to rice ratio. It's be nice if there was more curry. Also, if eating there completely okay, but because they toss the curry on top of the rice and katsu directly, won't be very good for takeout, unless you like soggy rice and cutlets.

    I really enjoyed my experience at Toki Underground!…read more Toke Underground a small bar and restaurant in the H st corridor which seems to be most well known for its ramen offerings. We got there nice and early on a Friday to enjoy the happy hour which is available from 4-6 on weekdays. As a part of happy hour they had several cocktails and small bites for $10 or less. I had the pumpkin spice spritz and an order of the fried chicken bites - both were really really good. I'd order both items again. For awareness, they limit dining in to about an hour and a half - because the restaurant is fairly small, they want folks to make their seats available for other guests pretty quickly. They weren't rude about enforcing this time limit, but they definitely tell you up front and quickly gather your orders/plates to help move you though the meal quickly. This is a nice date spot - it's coziness would make for the perfect ambiance in you're looking to grab a bite with that special someone. Pro tip: Be careful not to walk past it! The signage outside isn't the best, so it's very easy to miss the door completely (as I did).

    TLDR: would recommend, decent ramen. Appetizers are great and the drinks are well made. Definitely…read morenot good for a large party size due to restaurant size. Servers are very attentive and come by very often. Must Try: Shrimp Naruto Atmosphere/Setting: very small place with dim lighting. This isn't the place to have your birthday celebration with a Partiful of 20 people. It's moreso catching up with a friend or having a good meal after a long day alone. Food: it's a ramen spot but honestly I've had better ramen but this one is pretty good. I think the appetizers are moreso the star of the show ! Appetizers : Shrimp Naruto (10/10) , Brussels Okonomiyaki (8/10) , Yuzu Rootbeer Wings (6/10) Shrimp Naruto is phenomenal , literally my favorite. I wanted to like to e wings but they were too soft for my liking. If they were fried harder or had a bit more of a crunch I'd rank them higher because the flavor is there. Drinks: both drinks were great !

I usually go for their happy hour, which I love so much. Not only is the food great, but the interior is so cute and the ambiance is amazing. It has that cozy, intimate vibe with really fun decor, and they also have a larger dining area if you are going with a group. I have gone on weekday evenings for happy hour, and it has never been too crowded, which makes the experience even better. This place honestly feels like a hidden gem that I want to gatekeep but cannot. I always order the crunchy spicy salmon roll, smoked salmon nigiri, salmon nigiri, and tamago nigiri, and they never miss. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and well made. I have also brought friends here who are picky sushi eaters, and they all loved it, which says a lot. Definitely a spot I will keep coming back to and recommending.
