This is my go-to place, and this is my first time reviewing it. Obviously, I like their food, atmosphere, and service. Especially last Saturday, our server Mia provided excellent service. I hope she works there for a long time! read more

The environment was extremely welcoming and the customer service was excellent. Will definitely recommend this location to everyone!

Came across this spot on Google and decided to give it a try. Overall, a great experience. The sushi is on point--rolls are large and packed with flavor. I tried two of their most popular rolls, and both were excellent. Every bite was fresh, well-balanced, and you can tell care goes into how each roll is made. I sat at the bar, and the service was solid. Staff was attentive, and everything came out in a timely manner. It was pretty quiet when I first arrived, but by the time I left, the place was packed, which speaks for itself. I'll definitely be coming back. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out. read more

Came here again, this time with some friends! The wait was super long, so I definitely recommend joining the waitlist before you arrive. It was basically packed the entire night. Since the place is pretty small, it can take a while to be seated, especially if you're coming with a larger group. The parking lot is also pretty small, so if you can't find a spot there, you can usually find street parking nearby. I'd say the prices were about the same as the last time I came, although the portions felt a little smaller this time. I ordered the beef teriyaki and the Osaka sashimi. I noticed the beef teriyaki was a bit different compared to my last visit. This time, there was less beef, and it came with three gyoza instead. I personally didn't love that swap, but it wasn't a huge deal. I also unfortunately got a few pieces of hard rice, though my friend didn't seem to have that issue, so maybe I just had some unlucky bites. Aside from that, everything still tasted great. My friends were actually surprised by how good the salad was--they were like, "Wow, this is actually really good! read more

Great sushi, current favorite is the tornado roll. It has spicy tuna, crabmeat, avocado on the inside & crispy (very crunchy) shredded potato with soy paper. I love the crunchy, potato, and spicy tuna combo taste. The service is good, not too friendly but they are very attentive and they always keep it clean. They tend to always be busy, the waiting is a bit long but it's worth it. read more

First time here. Was. Not. Disappointed. Great vibes. Great food. Great service. Did not have to wait long for my drinks and appetizer despite it being a busy night. Enjoyed a good highball and a Sapporo plus the Omakase Sushi and some Takoyaki to start. Everything was out very quick and the sushi was fresh!! Yes, it was very tasty. The takoyaki was steaming hot although I do think it was slightly lacking in flavor. If you're near the Downey area, stop by and ask Chef Ian to hook you up!! You will not be disappointed. read more

We stopped by Tokyo Garden in Downey with my wife and kids for dinner. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented; but the service left a lot to be desired. It's one of those nights where great food met careless attention, which makes the experience a bit bittersweet. The Food The Tokyo Garden Sushi Deluxe box came out looking like a piece of art. The fish tasted fresh, and the rice had that perfect balance of flavor and texture. The rolls we ordered for the table were also well-prepared and balanced, not overloaded or falling apart like you sometimes find elsewhere. Ambiance The space has a cozy, authentic feel that makes it easy to settle in. The warm wood accents and low lighting give it a sense of calm, it's a great spot to enjoy sushi with family or on a quiet night out. Service This was the one weak spot of the night. Our server seemed distracted and unsure when answering a few menu questions. Shortly after we were seated, my 2-year-old spilled her water, which he witnessed. Aside from saying "it's okay," he didn't offer any help or bring something to clean it up. We ended up flagging down another staff member to handle it after waiting a while. When the meals came out, everyone at my table received their food except me. I assumed the sushi box might be taking longer, but it turned out it had likely been sitting out due to our server disappearing mid-service. Another server finally brought it over, but by that time, everyone else had already finished eating. We later learned our original server may have gone on break, yet no one informed us or took over the table. To finish things off, the restaurant automatically added the gratuity. I'm someone who always tips well, but this time it felt undeserved and took away the incentive for good service. End Notes I'll still return for the food and in hopes that the service just had an off night, that and I would love to give it another shot because I love it when a local business gets its 5 stars. But I hope management takes a closer look at their service approach. A bit more attentiveness would easily turn this place into a top-tier sushi spot in Downey. read more

Tokyo Garden - Tokyo Garden Sushi Deluxe Box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Downey, California

Sushi restaurant in Downey that offers some of the most flavorful and fresh rolls in the area. They have a nice variety of rolls to choose from, along with sashimi, salads, poke bowls, and bento boxes. My favorite item is the geisha roll. It's packed with flavor and has a great kick to it. It's a spicy tuna roll with shrimp tempura and fresh red onions, jalapeños, and spicy geisha sauce on top. Service is average, nothing special. Parking can be a nightmare with their tiny parking lot in the front and bigger but also busy parking lot in the back. I opt for street parking when I visit. My one compliant is during my most recent visit. After finishing our meal, my best friend and I were chatting and finishing our drinks when a waitress came over and asked us to wrap things up so that they could use the table to seat another party of 8. This felt rude as t was a sign on the table mentioning a 2 hour limit, and we had been at the table for a little over an hour. Side note: Upon being seated, we noticed an open 2 person table that we should have been seated at (rather than the 4 person table) if service staff was worried about tables. Pro tip: Review your check before paying and you'll see they apply an automatic 15% tip (even for parties as small as 2). I've accidentally double tipped twice at this restaurant because the waitress brings a tablet to check you out which prompts you for another tip, without saying a word about the bill already including a 15% tip. read more

I found this place by accident. I really wanted sushi while my husband wanted Shakey's Pizza and since this restaurant was right by Shakey's, I decided to give it a try. What a gem of a restaurant. From the service to the freshness of the sushi. Everything was exceptional. I told my husband we'll have to separate for lunch more often when in Downey. read more

Solid sushi spot in Downey. I wasn't sure what to expect as I decided to go with a friend fairly last minute. The sushi is good, the service is good and it's very spacious too which is nice. While nothing particularly blew me away, it's a restaurant id for sure go back to, and can genuinely recommend for good sushi. read more

Have been to this location twice and can say that the sushi is delicious. The mango salmon roll is absolutely delicious and only lacks some spiciness. The zen roll is refreshing with tuna, yellowtail, and salmon. While I usually don't enjoy spicy tuna, the Toyota roll is insanely delish! They also offer highballs that are as good as the ones I enjoyed whilst in Japan. Decor is similar to that golden gai/Tokyo mini streets. Service.. is unfortunately a hit or a miss as staff can be a little off putting or may forget about you.. but regardless the food and drink is worth it. Definitely a 4.5 overall. read more

First time coming here, recommend by a friend. Parking is plentiful no issues with finding any spots which is a plus. Came here around lunch time 12. Upon coming inside I really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. All the wood furniture and the layout of the restaurant. Well kept, tidy and clean. We were instantly sat down with no wait time. Service here is without a doubt GREAT! Forgot to catch the waiters name but he was awesome! The food on the other hand wasn't meeting the expectations of the service and the decorations of the place. I ordered the popcorn shrimp and salmon rolls. The sushi was so tiny that it made the plate look empty and for the price you're better off going else where. The restaurant and service is A++ no complaints but the food I believe could be better. I'm giving a 2 star for this reason. Don't think I'll be back but go ahead and try it for yourself. It isn't horrible but very bland. Thank you for your awesome service Tokyo garden. read more

Love the experience of coming here all the time. The customer service is always good and.the rolls.are delicious.

Yesterday I went to have diner with my 2 kids, my girlfriend and my mother to celebrate my birthday, we started ordering drinks and a calamari appetizer. then ordered sushi rolls, Udon tempura soup and a Bento box for my kids, we got first the sushi roll. and like 20 minutes later we have to asked for the appetizer and the rest of the food, the server told us that was working on it, we finish the sushi rolls and the rest of food wasn't ready, we asked one more time for the kids food, the soup or appetizer and they said that kitchen was behind on orders, after 40 minutes we received the bento box, but no the udon soup or appetizer calamari, so decided to cancel that, server apologized for the inconvenience and that was it. No customer service, no sense of urgency, or no manager taking control or checking tables. really bad experience, read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!! if you want sushi, look no further. I will upload photos shortly

I was excited to come here for lunch given that they have a pretty good Yelp rating. However, my meal wasn't as enjoyable as I would've liked it to be. Though the service and food were pretty good, I wish the sushi chef that made my rolls was more attentive and knew the menu better. I ordered fried oysters and black spider roll with soy paper which should have eel on top and inside the rolls. When it arrived and I started eating it, it instead had spicy tuna on top and no eel inside. I mentioned this to the sushi chef, he looked at the menu and realized he had made my order wrong. I was expecting for him to remake my roll but he just put eel on top without removing the spicy tuna and I didn't get the eel that was supposed to be inside as well. $20 for sushi rolls and the order was wrong didn't quite sit right with me. The chef was also on his phone for the better part of the hour I sat there and ate. I don't know if I'd come back...maybe to give it another chance. But I hope he can do better when it comes to order accuracy. read more

We visited this restaurant on a Friday night with another couple and experienced a long wait (to be expected). The ambience is cozy and nice, and the parking lot is on the smaller side. When we were seated, we were immediately asked what we want to drink, not even giving us a chance to review the cocktail menu. Before ordering, we let our server know that we would like to split the check two ways (one for each couple) and our server brushed it off and let us know we would handle it once we pay, more focused on getting the order in. Our food arrived disjointed, with one dish arriving almost 20 minutes after the rest of the table's order. It was still very yummy. Our server went MIA and finally someone came up to us asking if we wanted to pay (she seemed more focused on wanting to clear the table rather than us searching for our server), we said yes, but she rushed off and got the check without us having the chance to mention we discussed splitting the check with our server. She got frustrated, especially when we wanted to split the fountain drinks and she told us we were unable to. Once the check was fixed, our server magically appeared again to take the payment. I feel like if the server was even a little more attentive, the issues we ran into could have been avoided. read more

Tokyo Garden - C15 Mango Pina Roll(3) * C13 Love Roll(1) *C7 Zen Roll *(2) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Downey, California

Our experience at Tokyo Garden Downey was absolutely awful from start to finish. The sushi chef flat-out refused to speak to us in English only spanish , which made ordering frustrating and uncomfortable. On top of that, several appetizers we ordered were suddenly "unavailable" after the fact, with no apology or explanation. When we tried to make a very simple sushi order request, they refused to accommodate it, even though it was reasonable and straightforward. The service only got worse from there. Our waiter was extremely rude and unprofessional--at one point actually telling us, *"You don't have to stay here,"* instead of trying to resolve the issue like a professional restaurant should. Between the poor communication, missing items, refusal to make basic orders, and outright rude service, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We felt unwelcome the entire time. Save your money and go somewhere that respects its customers. read more
