    4 stars (rounded up) - given that it's fairly inexpensive and primarily to-go. We stopped in for lunch while in the area since there were so many high ratings. 4 or five small tables primarily occupied by staff (as witnesses by order pads, calculators, etc. back area stuffed with boxes and other paraphernalia. Cook visible through window working away with face mask at half-staff (why bother?). Food is prepared to order for the most part, and is served quickly. Beef is thin and slightly chewy, drenched in sauce over some zucchini strips. Fried rice was meh...not too much flavor, just rice (no egg or veggies). Sushi rice okay - needed a bit rice vinegar added. Salad dressing quite tasty, and avocado generous. For quick takeout it's okay. Not fine dining for sure, but for what it is, it's decent. Probably wouldn't recommend coming here for dining, but to grab a quick bite to bring home, maybe.

    What a great place to pick up some lunch and go. Their lunch prices are extremely affordable (and their hibachi is tasty which helps too). No dine in option, pick up only. We ordered shrimp and steak hibachi, salmon and avocado roll, eel roll and tuna and avocado roll. This all came up to about $25 and change which is half the price I would have paid elsewhere, so I appreciate this place keeping my pockets lined with some cash. The salmon didn't taste the best on this occasion, but the rest of the rolls were just fine. The hibachi came with three pieces of shrimp, but was more generous with the steak serving. Overall, 3.5 stars rounded up solely because of the price.

    Veggie yakisoba, eel roll, California roll, and hibachi steak.

    We went to Tokyo Express for a quick lunch. For a family of five, easily fed all of us with leftovers. Really tasty!!!

    Got carryout. Food was ready quickly, pretty good, and reasonably priced, but no where near as good as Benihana or the like

    Food is alright - the chicken in the yakisoba noodles and hibachi is pretty much the same, they just don't add any vegetables in yakisoba. To be honest, yakisoba was a little soggy, hibachi was better with some bedding of veggies. Ordered 3 meals: beef hibachi, chicken hibachi and chicken yakisoba. Came with 3 small cups of yum-yum sauce. Total cost was almost 52$ without tips. Giving it 4 stars because the quality of food was not really worth a 50$, more like 35$ (regular Asian-American cuisine, nothing special for 'Tokyo' name).

    We were looking for affordable Japanese food that we could enjoy but this place is more of a take out place as multiple orders were filled as we sat in the third booth in, passing the first booth taken by the hostess' things, the second booth had a dirty appearance with a used water bottle, so the third booth it was. I ordered the veggie roll and a salad hoping to cleanse my body of the sins from yesterday's meals while hubby ordered the lunch special beef hibachi. My salad was lettuce with avocado and two containers of tasty dressing. The veggie roll was guess what! Avocado in rice. Good thing I love avocado but if you don't then you're not going to be happy. No other veggies in the salad. Hubby said his rice tasted like it was seasoned with soy sauce, just meh. The beef was sliced so thin yet overall not satisfying. It's okay for a quick take away and for folks unfamiliar with hibachi. We witnessed a conversation with a customer who didn't know what hibachi was and the person explaining it struggled to explain it while filling orders.

    Dining area. Not very clean. A bit run down.

    A hole in the wall. A bit run down and needs cleaning. The place was empty. They overcharged us by $5 even after I added a tip on the receipt. They don't give an itemized receipt so they just add whatever they want. Dishonest so make sure you add up the charges yourself! Food was just ok but the rice was dry and tasteless. The Godzilla Roll was burning hot since they deep fry it so the shredded tuna is cooked (not the typical Japanese style Godzilla Roll sushi) $9. The CA rolls are super tiny $5. The hibachi shrimp had zucchini and broccoli underneath $10.50. The hibachi beef had a very thin layer of thinly sliced beef on top of vegetables $10.50. We won't be going back. Disappointing.

    Don't pass up this place, even though the location in a strip mall makes it easy to drive by without noticing. A local recommended this place and even though I was skeptical when we drove up, it did not disappoint! I would love to have photos of the food, but we had none because we started eating as soon as it came! It was the best hibachi food we've eaten, ever. Their specialty yum yum sauce is delicious. The vegetables are tender and perfectly seasoned. Everything is fresh, including expertly executed made to order sushi. Considering the quality of food, pricing is dirt cheap - $3 California rolls! It's not a fine dining location, but we already can't wait to return here while on vacation.

    Hibachi was fast but the sushi was even faster! Food is very affordable and for the price it'll be a definite go to when I'm in the area.

    Food was well prepared, tasty, fresh and very satisfying…read more Service was every bit a compliment to the food quality. Priced competitively but value met my expectations.

    Thai Tara is our hands-down favorite restaurant. Not only in Williamsburg, where we recently moved,…read morebut nationwide. And that isn't mere hyperbole. Before we moved to Williamsburg, we visited the area for vacations, and Thai Tara is alway the first place we go for dinner and the final meal before leaving. Whether you crave the freshest Sushi/Sashimi or you prefer authentic Thai street food, you will find it here. We have traveled to Bangkok many times, and from first hand experience can say without exaggerating that the Chicken Sate or Fresh Rolls are as authentic as you might find at the street markets in BKK. The Tom Kha and Tom Yum soups are a treat. The extensive selection of warm Thai dishes like Pad Thai and Penang Curry are outstanding. We often include a hand roll or a selection of Sashimi from the Sushi bar in our orders. Never has the sushi bar prepared anything less than perfect. And if you want a real treat, finish your meal with a Mango Sticky Rice. Although small in size, it's surely is a dessert of the gods. An extensive bar is also on hand at Thai Tara for your favorite hand mixed cocktail, umbrella drink or beer, including Thailand's own Singha, a refreshing lager. Plan to arrive early because this cozy (but not small) place gets very busy, especially on weekends. Parking can be tight. But even in the busiest evenings, service is always prompt, attentive, and with a Thai smile.

    What better than to be surrounded by quotes and eat great food. Such a novel idea (pun intended)…read morefor a restaurant. The entire place has quotes posted all over. My obsession with quotes started in high school where I would scribble them all over my notebooks and folders. So in honor of my bday weekend, my inner teen got a gift too. Additionally there are cute cards on the table with riddles/ conversation starters and court cases that the table can discuss and try and guess the ruling. The food. Admittedly, we came here for the quotes and the apple nachos so I can't speak much to the food other than we split some fried ravioli, a rack of ribs and a side of mac & cheese that were absolutely delightful. As for those apple nachos, they almost hit the perfect mark and could've done so with a drizzle of caramel. Our waiter was eager to accommodate us and grab us some caramel, but we told him never mind just a suggestion to the Chef. The ribs were cooked perfectly fall off the bone with not too much sauce and that mac & cheese was divine. Service was on point, food delicious, and ambience - perfection. Highly recommend, especially if you're vacationing in Williamsburg it is a unique treat that you won't find anywhere else.

Our server , Eric, was super friendly and helpful with the menu. Food came out really fast. Stuffed mushrooms were the bomb. Not only was the ribs delicious but the meat fell off the bone.

The beer flight of local beers was fun.
