    the outside of a restaurant
    Lauren N.

    I think the one-star rating speaks for itself. I went to this particular Tokyo Express location, and needless to say, I never went back. Unless you are absolutely starving -- at which point, I might add, anything tastes good -- I do not recommend going here. I wasn't even able to swallow the beef in my teriyaki maki ... that is, if it was even real beef at all. Even now, I still don't think it was. It may be cheap, but I'd rather pay a bit more for sushi that doesn't taste like cardboard.

    Nice surprise I found in my meal!

    The first few times I came here and checked the reviews I thought "Whaaat?!? Why only two stars??" But I visited tonight and I can tell you why they average that low: the staff are miserable and rude and the food is way way WAY below what should be acceptable. I walked in, wasn't greeted at all, and the man seemed super irritated that I was taking time looking at the menu figuring out what I wanted. Okay, whatever, but at least don't be huffing and puffing. Manners are important. Finished the transaction, no pleasantries what so ever. Then began my 15 minute wait for my food. Took it home, sat down to eat, and I was honestly disgusted when I opened the rice bowl. I attached a picture of the grilled salmon, because I was so shocked. What am I even looking at? It was dry and overall unpleasant, and if that's not bad enough, THERE WAS A PIECE OF BLUE PLASTIC INSIDE THE SALMON. Yes, you read that right. Like, come on. So unimpressed and will definitely be reaching out to management. The tempura was fine, but that doesn't make up for the other atrocities. I will never ever ever be coming here ever again after this. Big no thanks from me!

    This is a good place when you want sushi fast and don't mind not having a server. It is almost like a fast food sushi place but in a better way :) You place your order and pay right away, go and sit and then come back to pick up your order when it is called out. They have a big variety of options: bento boxes, sushi combos, feature rolls, tempura, noodles, etc. I ordered a Mini Roll Combo (6 pcs mini california roll and 6 pcs mini dynamite roll). It was very good. They have a cute water fountain and have ice cubes next to it, this is great for me because at restaurants I'm usually waiting for the server to come to our table when my glass is empty. I will take one star off because they don't have low-sodium soy sauce, though.

    There is plenty space for small or medium parties

    This is one of my favourite places to have Japanese food. (I can't just pick one, it would be like…read morepicking your favourite child.) Atmosphere is relaxed and minimalistic with a great chill vibe. Service is okay but I would say that all the times I have been there, the staff have not been super welcome or friendly. And this day was super busy, a Friday night and I don't think they had enough staff for the tables. Our dishes came by slowly which was fine because we were visiting with friends but don't expect to fly in and out. This is the one thing they can improve on. Luckily the food makes up for it. We ordered a bunch of things to share. The seasonal vegetable tempura Beef Tataki served with grated daikon, seaweed, sliced onion, ponzu dressing Black Cod with a miso marinade Japonais Premium Select -assorted chef's choice of maki rolls, sushi & sashimi We also sampled sake, beer, and Japanese whiskey Everything we had was delicous. The standout was the black cod with the miso marinade and the amazing selction of the Japonais Premium Select. A HUGE amount of rolls, sushi and sashimi. Definately worth the money if you are fine with the chef doing the choosing. Everything was super fresh. The only thing I think was just average was the tempura. It was no difference than the other places I have been to. Really worth making the reservation for, just keep in mind you may need to wait.

I ordres an assortment of them - red snapper, tuna and salmon for the sushi, California and Alberta rolls, and tempura shrimp cone. This time around I ordered the beef tataki, stir fried udon with chicken, miso soup and the 6 oz steak (for this one, a hot stone is brought to your table and you sear the steak on it; sauce are also available for this dish). I had green tea to drink and had green tea ice cream for desert. Service was very good and rapid, and very attentive and polite. The restaurant's ambiance is busy and popular, but it's quite easy to relax and enjoy the food and restaurant while there.

And after our dinner, this place will be pretty difficult to beat. We came here for our anniversary dinner. My boyfriend put in a reservation earlier, and once we arrived we were seated pretty quickly. It was a Monday night but I was so surprised at how packed the place was. This was our first time here so the server explained how ordering on the slip works. Wait time wasn't terrible. And like I mentioned before, this place was so packed and full of people. All the servers that night were weaving through aisles, delivering food, and taking orders. They were all hustling. Food was delicious. We started off with a couple of rolls like California Rolls, Avocado, Tuna, Salmon, and Tamago. The sushi rolls were pretty small, but I didn't have a problem with it. Since it's AYCE, I knew that we'd have much more food coming. I was very impressed by the quality of fish. It tasted very fresh. Also we ordered the seared Beef Nigiri and that was delicious. We ended up ordering more of that later. For the next round, we ordered Edamame, Beef (? it was like a beef galbi cut but I forgot the name of it on the menu), Chicken Skewers, Green Onion Cake, and Tempura. For our Tempura veggies we chose pumpkin, yam, and eggplant. I loved the tempura. It was definitely a highlight of the night. The batter was very crispy, light, and all the tempura came out hot. It was wonderful. We ended up getting more after the first round of tempura because it was too good. The Chicken Skewers were phenomenal. My boyfriend and I were saying that if we had the Chicken Skewers with rice, that would just be enough. The flavor of the sauce was great: savory, slightly sweet, it was reminiscent of a teriyaki flavor for me. And lastly, we had the BC Roll, Alberta Roll, Crunchy Roll, Philadelphia Roll, the seared Beef Nigiri again, and a few other rolls. At this point of the dinner we barely had any steam left but somehow we managed. Every single we thing we ate was just amazing. I wasn't disappointed by anything we ordered actually it was just great. I will say the Crunchy Roll had this smokiness that scratched my brain in the best way possible and I was so impressed by that bite. This was such an unforgettable experience and the best place we've spent our anniversary haha. 10/10, take my money. To Sushi Toshi, I'll be thinking about you.

Dorinku is a local staple for delicious happy hour and daily specials. But do not let that fool you. The rest of the menu is really delicious too. They give you thick fresh cuts of sashimi which is well worth the price because of the high quality received. I love the japanese curry here as it is exactly like how it is in Japan! But what most locals come here for are their Tuesday ramen specials or their really good value happy hour from 4-6 pm everyday. I personally love the Tonkotsu ramen and the popular seared salmon pressed sushi rolls. They have a very good elaborate menu of lunch specials which are all under $20 which is phenomenal for the quality you receive. It really is one of the best deals in the city! Limited Street parking is availble but if you are willing to walk a bit. It never has been a problem for me. A staple among the local restaurants in edmonton which are considered elite in my books. I am Never disappointed when I eat at Dorinku Osaka!
