I also enjoy the kitchen apps and entrées- the miso eggplant and agedashi tofu are great appetizers. The salmon teriyaki is always perfectly cooked and accompanied by fresh vegetables. As other reviewers have mentioned- the construction of the rolls can suffer at times- for me this usually looks like 1 at most 2 pieces losing their integrity when I pick them up. My friends and I agree that this is Riverdale, not A sushi hotspot desitation and we would rather sacrifice a point on the physical construction /proper sushi technique than go somewhere else that has beautiful perfectly rolled sushi- with less fresh fish or rolls that are more rice than filling. Also- the sushi IS good! I usually go for salmon, tuna and a sweet potato tempura roll The lunch specials (monday-saturday until 3:15 pm) are a really good deal and come with pretty good miso soup and a fresh side salad. I am appreciative that they run a little later in the day as well. Aoyu has always been very reasonable abt modifications- there is no upcharge for brown rice for lunch bento- easy to request veggie instead of pork gyoza, and I really don't like crab- imitation or otherwise- so they always let me sub a cucumber avocado roll instead. Thanks for being such a great restaurant in riverdale Aoyu!

Take advantage of the 3 sushi roll lunch special. It is very fairly priced and you get a decent amount of food. I went with the eel avocado roll, yellowtail scallion roll, and salmon roll. They were perfectly fresh, nicely spicy, and packed with flavor. I also got a sashimi appetizer which tasted very fresh, light, and delicious. They provided an assortment of yummy fresh fish which were all very good. Portions are big, so I was stuffed and happy. Prices are more than reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. It's definitely a great value in Riverdale. I have been ordering from here on and off for years, and the consistency is unreal. Fresh ingredients, delicious execution, and that neighborhood charm keep us coming back. If you're craving authentic, satisfying Japanese food without the fuss or sky-high prices, Tokyo House is the spot.

I order from here about four times a week (yes, seriously), and the food is ALWAYS consistent. Same incredible flavor, same quality, every single order. They have never messed up my food, and I never get tired of it. And the prices? I honestly can't believe how affordable it is for the quality of food you get. The portions, the flavor, the consistency -- you would expect to pay so much more. If you're looking for hibachi that never disappoints, this is the place. Highly recommend to everyone. Ask for the Stephanie Special -- you won't regret it!

I wish there were more locations of this in Manhattan. We made an order at the desk before we seated ourselves and for a Saturday evening, there was quite a bit of open tables which was great. I ordered the Szechuan Braised Beef Noodles and they were absolutely delicious. The noodles tasted a bit like ramen noodles but they were able to grab all the delicious and garlic flavored soup. I really appreciated the soft-boiled egg with its marinated egg whites. I also loved the big tender beef chunks as well. Overall, I really cannot wait to go back to Zhongzhong noodles and I hope that they open up more locations. I will say though that since I last went to the Roosevelt Island location, they have raised their prices quite a bit - maybe $2 or $3 per dish.

The new team of caterers has taken over the Visitor Center Cafe to produce a beautiful and tasty dining venue.

There is a constant flow of food and between the four of us we tried 8 menu options including tempura vegetables, dumplings, sushi, and a short rib entree. A bit more expensive than the traditional Garden Cafe fare but TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Honestly, she could have said anything and the words "saves you money" and I pretty much would've done it. I personally loved my beef and shrimp teriyaki with noodles. My son liked his bentonite box except for the spring rolls. My brother loved his chicken teriyaki with rice. The prices were very decent for the amount we received. The place was huge with a lot of sit down area and very clean. Y'all know I love clean now! When I'm around and in the mood, I'd stop back in and use my little rewards thingy again.
