It's clear from the moment we walked in that the staff is so kind. It shows in their hospitality and the food we ordered for take out had so much love and care goes into it and it's absolutely delicious!!!! we got so much stuff to try from the Chinese menu, I did also order some nigiri and it hit the spot but the Chinese food is definitely where this place shines. Highly recommend! Will be coming back :) read more

IF I COULD GIVE THEM 12 STARS I WOULD!! The food and service were incredibly. The ambiance is fantastic the treat everyone like family and you feel welcomed. Richie the new owner went above and beyond for me today. After lunch I realized my car battery died. He helped me figure out who was parked next me, he pulled up his car and jumped my car. I mean come on how amazing is that and just shows the character of the owner. They recently opened and I hope we can support our restaurants and people who go above and beyond for our community. Please go show this business some love!! I can guarantee you will love it. read more

Got some food to go here again and they absolutely crushed it! They have my new favorite wings. The flavor in each bite was ridiculously savory. Decided to try their dim sum this time. Har gow was plump with shrimp and I think ginger. The shu mai were large and had a delicious filling that left me wanting more. The BBQ pork fried rice was fluffy and they gave us a large portion. My friend and I shared it all and agreed they have not disappointed and is probably our new go to Chinese local spot. I already want more of their wings! Mmm! read more

I tried Tokyo Express under the new management for the first time, and am happy that I did. I took out the lunch chicken combo ($9.95 + $1.50 chow main upgrade =$11.50) and a full order of BBQ fried rice. ($11.95) Good food. No surprise. It felt like good ol' Chinese food. No authentic hidden foreign spices. Good sweetness and saltiness, not too greasy. WOW! A LOT OF FOOD! The takeout containers were packed with food. Two adults ate the two dishes for two meals. GREAT PRICE! In addition, they are having the 10% off promotion. Can't beat the value! The lady at the counter was nice, the food came out quickly while I waited. I would call in ahead next time. The only con was that the chicken pieces had a skin on them in the chicken lunch. I just don't like chicken skin so much. My hubby does not like Chinese food in general, but he approved their BBQ fried rice to repeat! Yay! Open till 8:00 for dinner takeout now. read more

Reviewing while my food is prepared. It's been years since I've been here, and I feel like I am very welcome to be here. I was greeted the moment I arrived, asked if I had questions about any menu items. I asked if they are able to make menu substitutions for my wife, and they are able to. Looking forward to try out their food, it smells great... read more

Stopped by on a Wednesday evening. First time here and we had a great experience. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Always checking on us to see if we needed anything. The food was yummy! My favorite: the walnut shrimp and cream cheese wontons. I'd definitely order those again. But they have an extensive menu so I'll be back to try something different. There's plenty of parking and lots of tables and chairs to sit inside. We dined in but it looked like they get a lot of to go / pick up orders. read more

I enjoy their Japanese menu and they recently added Chinese items as well. When I go, I go for the sushi or bento box which inevitably requires a take home box as well. Not a fancy place, but clean and bright with plenty of seating. The prices are very reasonable. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and kind. read more

Chinese food is great but I am always worried about the very hot food coming in contact with styrofoam which is cancer causing. I could see the styrofoam melted which means it is now mixed in with my food. The Japanese dishes not good and overpriced. The owner has a really great personality! read more

I read so many great reviews about this restaurant that when I was in the area, I thought I would drop by. I ordered a very cheap but large sushi box and some cream cheese wontons. When the sushi was brought to me, I did my best to hide my distain. I have never seen sushi more dried out and old than what was on the tray in front of me. I ate one piece, and bagged up the rest. I ended up giving it to a homeless person in the parking lot. read more

What a delightful little gem that's become my go-to spot for a quick yet soul-soothing Chinese food fix. The owner always greets me with a genuine smile that lights up the room, making the whole place hum with that effortless hospitality. I ordered general tso, sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice and chicken chow mein. The chicken was tender and juicy, glazed in a sweet-spicy sauce that danced on my taste buds without overwhelming them. read more

Where do I even begin! First of all, the food was great for the price. Big portions and cheap prices. Additionally the selection on the menu was amazing. Many different choices. The service was immaculate. Definitely the best service I've ever had. The owner was super nice and thoughtful. We also received our food very quickly. Everyone on the staff were very nice and helpful. Definitely would come again! read more

Best sushi ever hands down super authentic reminds of the simple rolls back In The day. If you are hesitant don't be super good!

Amazing food quality, GREAT (I cant emphasize this enough) prices, and convenient location. I came in today for the first time and was immediately greeted by the warmest smiles. The super helpful and friendly staff quickly sat me down and offered me water and fried wonton strips. I was shocked to see how diverse the menus was and had a hard time deciding. I decided on a roll for myself and an orange chicken platter for my daughter that I took to go. The staff was super helpful with giving me reheating tips to regain the highest quality of food. My food was fresh, fast and priced to perfection. I highly recommend this location and will be back several times a month. read more

So I came back to Toyko Express Thursday the 16th of October or yesturday and the food was still great and amazing. The people are always freindly as well. I got the inside out roll and the fuji roll large filling and delicious. The texture was on point and the ingredients tasted so fresh. Yes the establishment is still cash only and open limited Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. but it is amazing to stop by and try it once and at least experienced it . most the time I take my food to go because they do have the capability to eat inside but it can be sort of warm some days and it's not really the type of establishment I would see myself just sitting down to eat inside of there's nothing wrong with the place it's just very small for my liking again that is just my opinion. As usual the prices are great super great value for a great amount of food and I will be back. A+++ Adelino read more

File under excellent customer service: Yesterday I went to get some sushi to go. The cashier noticed I arrived on a motorcycle and asked if I wanted a box to transport my food. She showed me the box and it was clearly too large to fit in my side bag. The sushi chef heard this and immediately made a bee line for the front door. She was eyeballing my bike to make sure my food was packaged with my size limitation in mind. Success! And I didn't have to find out how well sushi survives being bungee corded onto the back of a Harley in the hot sun. Good food too! read more
