Very nice Sushi spot in Woodside/Sunnyside, with super attentive staff…read more Went there with two other people on a hot Summer evening, wanted to sit down indoors but they were full (it's not a massive restaurant, probably fits about 15 people inside at a time). However they made sure we had seats and glasses of water right outside their front door while we waited for a spot, very kind of them. Once we eventually got in and snagged a table, we saw that there's a team of 2-3 professional sushi chefs behind a counter in the middle of the dining area, with a display of sashimi and other goodies behind the counter. A good sign for sure. They have a pretty extensive menu (I'd like to come back and try a few more things at some point, like their pineapple fried rice), but we came specifically for the sushi and ordered accordingly. Had some Edamame and Tempura Shrimp to start, and then ordered the "Lover's Plate" (or something along those lines) for two, to share among the 3 of us. Menu said it came with a good sampling of different kinds of sushi and sashimi, which is exactly what we were hoping for. And holy crow, do they not skimp on the portions. The Lover's Plate is like $50, but it's well worth it. We were utterly stuffed and could barely finish the food - would have brought home more if we didn't know that sashimi rarely stays as good after a day or so in the fridge, so we crammed down as much as we could while sitting there. The bottom line about the sushi and sashimi is that they were good - maybe not spectacular, but again quite good overall. Clearly they know what they're doing, behind the counter. Meanwhile their staff came over multiple times to check on us, see if we liked the food or wanted anything else - they seemed genuinely keen on making sure we were having a good time, despite having a packed restaurant of other customers to handle as well. The bill wasn't cheap, but it wasn't crazy expensive either - just the right amount, given the quality of the food. Would happily come again and try out other items from their sizable menu.

I love spicy tuna and fruits and they go really well together. Eel sashimi is a must. Salmon teriyaki box delicious with sauce on the side Fried green tea ice cream so good. I order to go and they make it when I get there so it doesn't melt 2nd favorite- Nabe udon SO SO good. The broth and the vegetable and tempura it comes with, warms your soul.

They lost a loyal customer.

I live around the corner from here and was happy to see a new spot that isn't another coffee shop…read moreopen up within walking distance to me. This place mostly looks like a to-go spot, but there are tables inside if you want to sit. I placed an order at the counter and was told it'd be around 15 minutes. What I really appreciate about this spot is that it has a decent sushi menu but also offers soup dumplings - these are two of my favorite things. The inside is clean and casual. After around 15 minutes or so my order was ready. The sushi I had was fresh and well-priced. The soup dumplings were good also, though a little more doughy than what I usually like. I was sad that they forgot my miso soup. Overall I would come back here again, especially given that I live right around the corner.

After playing at a nearby playground, we were starving and looking for a place to eat. This…read morerestaurant popped up in my search and was conveniently located just two blocks away, so we decided to give it a try. It's a fast-casual spot specializing in Americanized Japanese fare. Here's what we ordered: Shumai ($5.99/6pcs): you can choose to get them steamed or fried and I highly recommend getting them fried. They were cooked perfectly and it had a nice crispy exterior and soft center. Yes, they aren't as healthy but they are so much more tasty fried! Shogun Wings ($7.99/5pcs or $13.99/10pcs): solid wings. They were very crispy and slightly salty. It was accompanied with some kind of soy based dipping sauce. Spring Rolls ($5.99/3pcs): was just okay and would probably skip these next time. Dragon Roll ($12.99): eel and cucumber with avocado on top and drizzle of eel sauce. This was delicious but much too similar to a stadard Eel roll which I could probably have ordered for $8. Beef Teriyaki Bowl ($11.99): served with fried rice and broccoli. The teriyaki sauce was very good but the beef was a bit too chewy. We also got two Hibachi Bentos which came with miso soup, rice (white or fried), broccoli, two pieces of gyoza and four pieces of a California roll. Hibachi Salmon Bento ($14.99): I opted for white rice. It came with 3 pieces of Salmon and was really solid dish. Hibachi Chicken Bento ($13.99): We chose fried rice. It came with a generous portion of sliced teriyaki chicken. We all agreed this was by far the best dish among the beef, salmon and chicken bowls we ordered. Taro Milk Tea ($5.99): good overall, and tapioca was nice and soft. Overall, a great lunch. We scarfed everything down. Good to know there's a solid spot to grab a bite whenever we are near by.

My daughter brought me here for a Mom/Daughter dinner. We went with the AYCE option…read more Food was tasty. There wasn't anything I didn't like. Their spicy Kani salad was solid. The rolls were good. Exactly what you'd expect from an AYCE place. Their glutinous rice cake for dessert is fabulous. That brown sugar mollasses-y type flavor is delicious and satisfies the sweet tooth. Service was on point. Everything came quick without any hiccups. If you're expecting excellence all around, I don't think you'll find the experience at Tokya Ya to your standards. Again. Tasty but not the $100+ style restaurant by any means. As I said previously, it's what you can expect from an AYCE type spot. The bathroom wasn't horrendous but wasn't sparkling clean either and both times I've been they either didn't have paper towels to dry your hands with or toilet paper, which irked me. Aside from that, give it a try, skip the bathroom.
