    Yelp helped us find this restaurant and they didnt disappoint. We started with appetizers Toki fries, tempura brussel sprouts, bao buns and goyza. They were all good but the favorites were the brussel sprouts they were so light and tasty and the bao buns, my kid wanted a second order. For our entrees we got combination fried rice with beef and chicken, chicken fried rice, and two sushi rolls. They have their own parking lot which was nice. The staff was friendly, we were seated immediately even though they were busy. The decor is cute and clean. They have a bar and desserts too. This is not from the house so we will definitely be back.

    Tokyo Cafe is a nice sushi find in cowtown. I've made a major shift in how and when I eat and Tokyo Cafe came in handy today. Overall it's just good enough to put on your to do list. The interior feels like a small place in Japan. Well lit, comfortable seating. Service is excellent. Our waitress was smart in that ,"ok, she has a high sense of awareness for what she's doing." The food. While adequate, it could and should be much better and rise to the space and service. Prices are inline with what you get . Final note,I rounded up from 31/2 stars to 4. I'm not marking my calendar anxious to return however,if I was in the area I would stop in. You should decide for yourself when you... Go!

    Return visit and still impressed! I love the rotating weekly happy hour specials -- 3 different apps for $15 is seriously a can't-beat deal. This week's lineup was SO good: Spicy Salmon Tacos, Curry Poutine Fries, and Brisket Dumplings. The dumplings... I could've ordered an endless basket and been completely in love. Absolute standout. The fries weren't bad, but I probably wouldn't order them again. I just wish the toppings were more evenly distributed instead of mostly piled on top. The Spicy Salmon Tacos were the perfect little bites with a solid kick. I did ask if they could be made with another fish and was told no. which I understand, but I'd love to see that as an option in the future. These definitely deserve a permanent spot on the menu. We also tried the Roll of the Week (can't remember the name!) and added a happy hour tempura roll -- both delicious. My son ordered a side of chicken and rice, which was the perfect portion for him since they don't have a kids menu. Plenty of seating options and a great use of the layout. Friendly staff as always. We'll definitely be back!

    Loved the bento box, great portion for the price. Makes me a believer in the bento box when i was not before! Cute atmosphere, great menu, quick and easy lunch. I can see why this is one of Leon Bridges' favorites!

    I really enjoy Tokyo Café! They have great sushi rolls, as well as daily sushi specials& Ramen.

    I had a pleasant lunch at Tokyo Cafe. The vibe is casual, great service and excellent dishes. I enjoyed their happy hour rotating menu and I would highly recommend trying the Butadon bowl and Kani Ebi roll. The calamari was sliced into thick chunks and the batter was slightly soggy- I couldn't finish those due the texture. The Tan Tan Ramen broth is very flavorful, and the garlic really stands out. Overall, a very nice restaurant with good eats. Next time i'd like to try their lunch bento box.

    i've always hated that sushi had avocado in it but once i tried it at tokyo cafe, it made me change my mind, it was so delicious, the service is decent. i always invite my friends to go there

    Receipt and price of items

    Love the environment here for lunch. Super relaxed and a lot of people come to enjoy sushi date with themselves. The lunch bento box is so worth the price for the amount of food you can get. The quality of sushi is good as well, and the spicy tuna roll is amazing here. Service is always great too! Love this spot.

    Steamed Edamame & Tok Fries
    Danielle G.

    When you walk in you feel transported to a different place. The service is on point. We started with edamame with sea salt. They had the perfect amount of salt for us. Most places don't put enough. We also had the Tok fries! If you haven't had these, its a Just try. We made it for lunch and they have build your own bento. What a great value! I got the salmon with steamed rice, miso and cucumber salad. I asked for teriyaki sauce on the side. He got the chicken teriyaki bowl. He did have to ask for extra teriyaki sauce. Which they didn't charge for the side of both sauces. Would definitely come back.

    This is my first visit to Tokyo Cafe and it did not disappoint. The service was great, very good, fast, and friendly. The restaurant space is small, reservations are recommended. It feels open and bright. The food was absolutely awesome. Overall, excellent.

    Love the view

    The ambiance is super chill.. Our waitress Jessica was very attentive and pleasant. Our appetizer was a cucumber salad , lacked a little bit of flavor , but cucumbers were fresh.. The Tok Fries were delicious.. Piping hot and full of flavor. It's is served with a side of dry seasoning and a mayo... BEST fries I have had in a while.. The main course: build your own bento box , the chicken teriyaki very flavorful as well chose steam rice and a salad .. Also, ordered Yakisoba Noodles with chicken as the protein. It did not disappoint... Temptation roll hit the spot!! Most definitely will be back!

    Westside Ramen Beef Bowl
    Jennifer J.

    We've been wanting to try this place and it was a great experience, from the Asian decor to the welcoming atmosphere to the food. We got the Shumai to start off and it was pretty good. I suggest having the sauce on the side if you're not into really spicy things. My boyfriend got the beef bowl and it was delish. The beef was perfectly seasoned and the sauce had a great flavor. You don't get much protein, so next time he wants to order it with extra meat. I got the west side Ramen which was yummy. The broth was ok, but the noodles were good and plenty. I got the pork loin since I always get the pork belly, so it wasn't as flavorful. Overall it was good, but I've had better. Definitely a place to try if you're in the area and/or want to eat good food.

    Can you pay in cash?

    Yes

    Do they have a kids menu?

    No they don't

    Is there a vegetarian ramen available? For some reason I couldn't see one on the menu. Thanks

    Yes they do have vegetarian options. Just ask them for it. I believe is was miso based or something similar but we had to special request

    Does this restaurant serve items with Wagyu beef?

    I know they have a short rib dish, however I don't remember seeing wagyu or Kobe beef in their menu. Hope this helps.

Pros: Peter, the owner and chef, greeted our table and told us his sushi specials, which are flown in special from Tokyo every Friday so they change weekly. We had the o-toro, chu-toro, aji, and fluke, and all were amazing quality and you got a lot of fish for the price. They have a lot of sushi combos and platters to service a variety of sizes of parties. We had the sushi combo which was plenty of fish, especially with the cut sizes. Wait staff was very attentive and helpful with the menu. Cons: the entrance is a little off putting but you shouldn't let that deter you. the french menu was lacking in my opinion. There is only one page of options, and we ended up not ordering anything french since the japanese was so appealing. I would've liked to see some seafood or more small plates. Overall the fish quality and piece sizes will keep me coming back! I definitely want to try some of the hot plate options as well. add it to your list!

It's not my favorite spot, but it's convenient whenever I'm at Fort Worth craving for ramen.

The good stuff: whenever I visit, staff was always welcoming, friendly and prompt. Food doesn't take a while to come out, and it's always hot and fresh. Noodles are wavy and thick, and the soup is delicious. Keep in mind their broths taste saltier than other ramen places, but I personally don't mind.

This did not affect the quality of the food as it was very pleasing to look at as well eat. My partner and I began our meal with the karaage.

The ramens were packed with the flavor. Our choices were the to tonkotsu and spicy miso. The tonkotsu was super flavorful and I loved the bits off corn and I added minced pork for extra texture in the soup which was a great choice I would do again. The noodles were thinner than other ramens I have tried but still were very yummy and cooked well. The miso was a thicker soup with thicker noodles and the spiciness wasn't overwhelming. Both bowls were very full and we had left overs to save for later. Overall I enjoyed everything about the restaurant and I would recommend others to come and try it. I will definitely be back.

Settings for 8-20 with high chairs and groups settled together but somewhat by pairs or groupings. An hour wait line starts almost at opening and allows time to settle in the rather large (50?) bar area for appetizers, sushi rolls and a wide variety of drinks while waiting. (Without waiting for the tables, it has been suggested the bar with sushi, etc is available first come first serve as group seatings and bar/app service cycle through. *The spectacle is well done by the chef, bouncing and spinning food parts and knife work with visual panache. Basic core meal is veggies grilled in shifts, salad and soup, and the different meals are your selection by meat/fish type. Each person gets their selection and are served up when each item is cooked on the sequence. This gives continual feed, not accumulating to pile up a whole plate to eat later. Upcharge for fried rice, but good flavor and inclusions and about double the amount of the white steamed rice. *Emperors Plate has most everything, beef, shrimp, lobster, and the full round of veggies with soup and salad. Quite a good quantity. And a scoop of orange sherbet to finish. *Most meals have enough for some take home pack with bean sprouts, rice, some of the main. *Meals have enough for a couple small appetites to share, or a full meal with an extra plate will get the added soup, salad... with the servings split to smaller quantity for the extra plate. Seems that is done frequently, especially if appetizer or sushi rolls are added on from waiting time or startup at the table. Flavors: several sauces are provided as cooking and as dipping sauce, one garlic tamari(?), and a light ginger dip sauce. There are 2-4 flare up sessions on the grill as start of next portion starts to cook. This removes some of the moisture, gives a surface flavor and texture, as well as burns off the alcohol (brandy?) leaving a bit of caramelized flavor as retained on the grill that is cleared between courses. Thus a flare of fire, and a poof of steam. Seeing these at your own table as well as scattered around the room is impressive. ** Good flavor, good selections, great spectacle, always worth coming back and waiting time. Don't come before another event because this can easily be 2hr+ from arrival to exit, but you are there with the ones you brought for company in the first place. It's worth it.

There were seven people in our party, and no one felt it was worth it when the bill came. Maybe come here for sushi and drinks, but the hibachi food was disappointing.

If you've been wanting to try this place, I'd definitely recommend arriving early. Parking was probably the most challenging part of the visit. There was a rummage sale happening nearby, so the area was busier than usual. They do have a designated parking lot, but it's very small and fills up quickly. Most people will likely need to rely on street parking, which took a little patience that day. The restaurant itself is tiny, but that's part of the charm. There's a bar area that seats around 10 to 12 people and only a handful of tables. We were a party of three and were seated right away, but I could see larger groups having a harder time finding space together. The tables are also on the smaller side, so once the food starts arriving things can get a little crowded. That said, the food completely lived up to the hype. Everything we ordered was delicious. The chicken karaage was crispy and flavorful, the marinated ribeye was tender and packed with flavor, and my favorite dish of the night was easily the beef yakisoba. We each ordered a starter, three skewers, and a side that our server recommended, and every plate disappeared quickly. The atmosphere felt lively and busy, with Japanese figurines and decorations displayed throughout the restaurant. I overheard another guest mention that it reminded them of places they had visited in Japan, which made me appreciate the attention to detail even more. One thing to note - we were told they don't split bills, which wasn't a problem for our group, but it's something to know ahead of time if you're dining with friends.

Something to know before choosing this spot is that it is tapas inspired so a majority of the items are small plates and the skewers come with one skewer per plate. Okay now for the goods, we ordered the following items: Starters Tebasaki Chicken Wings (5) Dumplings (6) Egg rolls (2) Skewers, seafood and sides Negima (chicken thigh) Scallops Shishito peppers Kamo negima (duck) Sweet Soy Ribeye Yakiton (pork belly) Kimchi bacon fried rice Naan bread The must haves that everyone should order are definitely the wings and egg rolls. The wings were almost like a Japanese style lemon pepper. Incredible and seasoned perfectly. The egg rolls had the most crunchy and perfect texture, the filling was balanced and the dipping sauce was the perfect accompaniment. For the skewers my favorite were the chicken thigh and pork belly. The seasoning and cook on both were spot on. The ribeye was good but it could have been cooked a little less, the duck was okay but the sauce is incredibly tart and needed a hint of sweetness and the scallops were cooked well but desperately needed some salt. The kimchi fried rice was delicious, they nailed the combo of salty bacon and kimchi with the fried egg and rice. Shishito peppers and naan were both good as well, peppers were crunchy and the naan has this incredible sticky sweet sauce on top. Our service was also great, the waiter explained the menu and even though the restaurant became busy he still maintained communication. Overall, we will absolutely be back. It's one thing to have a concept and another to execute it and they've done that. Great vibes, awesome service and delicious food.
