White Tuna Avocado Roll
Chelle K.

The best spot in Newark for fresh, delicious, and affordable sushi rolls. Tokyo Express is home to my favorite classic roll, White Tuna Avocado, along with a few unique roll combinations like the Castle, the MaMa, and the Volcano. Whatever your taste preference is, Tokyo Express has you covered when it comes to sushi rolls. Not only that, but their teriyaki chicken is the best around - flavorful, juicy, and huge portion sizes enough to feed two.

Shrimp tempura roll
Lana S.

The poke place I was originally supposed to go to was closed that day :( so I decided to check out this place next door. Looked like a pretty solid menu so I decided to get takeout. I got a shrimp tempura roll and a hibatch shrimp combo meal. After I got the food I walked out and had an overwhelming smell of urine greet me as I walk to my car which was gross (random but says something about the strip mall I was getting food from). I get home and eat the sushi first. Not bad! Fresh and flavorful. I then started eating my hibatchi meal. Super bland with no real flavors. Barely any shrimp but lots of noodles and veggies. I actually had to dump the sauces that came with it so it would taste better. Overall eh? Meal. The prices weren't too bad and I would def. Come back for sushi since they tasted great.

Chicken teriyaki rice
Julie K.

For the price, their food is both good for taste and portion. Chicken teriyaki, beef&shrimp teriyaki and salmon&shrimp teriyaki were great. I couldn't finish my salmon and teriyaki shrimp rice. I like their rolls as it is chaper than other sushi places but tastes good! Hot mama roll is my favorite so far. Eel and avocado roll was good too. Hawaiian roll was mediocre. I would explore more rolls next time!

Sushi rolls - fresh and delicious!
Maria B.

Amazing sushi rolls! Very fresh and done right. All rolls had perfect amount of rice and perfectly ripe avocado. The price is great too! However, I would suggest to take it to go.

The pile of soggy vegetables ponders its place next to the tough chicken. It dreams of the lithe spring zucchini--the one that got away.

Granted, "Japanese" fast food hibachi isn't high end cuisine. But it can still be fresh and flavorful. Tokyo Express delivers neither. Fried rice is heavy but tastes only of salt and oil. Same with the chicken, which was surprisingly tough. With this sort of thing, you're looking for tender chicken but with a crisp, brown crust. This was like someone's forgotten chicken cheesesteak had tried to drown itself in soy sauce, lost in regret. Vegetables were limp, failing to deliver the bit of freshness and texture that they should. My companion had sushi, and said it was adequate. Also of note: I asked for two glasses of water and the server refused, trying to sell me bottled water instead. Dropped from a two-start review to one.

Sauce
Diana C.

This used to be our go to spot in 2013/2014 we divided to go back since we haven't had it in years. Unfortunately it definitely not what it used to be. The service was good attentive prompt and courteous. The restaurant itself could use a good scrub down and update. The curtains on the front window were torn, and the curtain rods not in tack. They have a wood frame around the register with what looked to once be wrapped with saran wrap. The remnants of the saran wrap hung off of the wooden frame. I'm assuming this was a Covid thing. Now to the good part, the food, the sushi used to actually be very good here. Unfortunately it was a hot mess. I ordered a spicy tuna roll, and my husband ordered a crunchy crab roll and I don't know how he ate them. He must've really been hungry because they were not good at all. I figured I was gonna get sick because the tuna was warm but it's raw.. I ordered the hibachi steak and shrimp, and unfortunately the steak and shrimp was overly cooked. The flavor of the rice, or the lack of flavor in the rice was upsetting. It's definitely going downhill since we used to go there. I don't think I willI'll ever go out of my way again to visit this restaurant, unless they do a major overhaul and every aspect. I gave two stars, because the food was edible not enjoyable.

Cucumber roll
Vaughn F.

There are many hibachi steakhouses and sushi restaurants within a few miles of my house, many of which contain the word "express" in their names. Last night I decided to try one of them, having not ventured out for Japanese food since I've lived in Delaware. I selected Tokyo Express for having a couple more stars on Yelp than the next closest establishment, and I was disappointed. I read several reviews off this page, good and bad, before I went. The restaurant is part of a strip mall, like many Japanese restaurants in New Castle County, and inside there are some tables and a counter to order at. While I can't complain about the affordability of my hibachi filet and cucumber roll ($11 all told), I can complain about other things. The decorations in the restaurant are tacky. It appeared that the owners didn't want to put too much effort into them, just in case the place gets shut down and they have to take it all off the walls. The floor was somewhat dirty, as were some of the tabletops, but my guest and I pulled up a table and waited for the food. The sushi roll was underwhelming. The cucumber was cut into thin strips and rolled in rice, as is custom, but it tasted dry and lacked flavor. It was a normal eight-piece sliced roll, and though not particularly exciting, it wasn't bad either. The hibachi filet was more displeasing. The fried rice was old and clumped together, making for chewy mouthfuls that were hard to swallow. The fried vegetables weren't amazing, with onions undercooked and carrots overcooked. The steak, cubed and grilled, was slightly overcooked, although the portion was fine. I ate most of the meal and took the rest home in the styrofoam box it was served in, but looking at the food later that night I decided just to throw away the rest. While I am sure that this restaurant is good for some people and some occasions, it was not great to sit down and eat at. We were the only customers in the restaurant the entire time we were eating. The staff seemed detached if not sullen, and wouldn't make eye contact with me. They deliver, so if you want mediocre food delivered to your door, this is the place to go. As for me, I'll be eating at a different hibachi grill from now on.

This place is my favorite adorable sushi place in Newark and I order all time. Their grill menu is also all delicious with large portions. They are taking a lot of precautions in reference to COVID-19 (masks, no dine in, pickup section away from kitchen, delivery, etc.). Also I am pretty sure they are offering their full menu which in the current time is very much appreciated. Food is all fresh and have always received my order correctly. Again this is an affordable place so it is not top of the line ingredients but not questionable ones that make you hesitate to eat it or the no name brand to the brand name kind of comparison. I definitely recommend trying this place out if you have not, and I will continue to order every time I get a sushi craving!!

See all
