Let's be honest, this isn't 5 star Japanese cuisine, but they don't pretend to be. This is simple, fast, but also tasty, Japanese style food. Their sushi is basic, the Japanese style dishes are somewhat reminiscent of the Japanese style food I would eat in Okinawa - mostly tailored for the American palate, not the Japanese. So, what makes this place worth 4 stars? The combination of price, experience, expectation, and taste. They have a regular sesame chicken special (not to be confused with the Americanized Chinese dish of the same name). It's not battered and fried, and it's not sweet. IMHO, it's better. And you can't beat the price of $6.99. The portions are good, everything is made fresh, the sushi is fair (but so is the price). Reading some of the older reviews it's easy to see why restaurant owners fislike Yelpers. Two words, unfair expectations. If you expect five star experiences at a two star price, you're the one that's delusional. If you get what you pay for then you only have room to praise, not condemn. Their service is fast, this place is not fancy but the owners keep it clean. I've never been in there where they aren't mopping the floor or wiping down tables and the like. And they're very friendly! Small towns like this need people like this who are willing to open up restaurants and charge fair prices. The alternative is a town filled with boring chain restaurants or, even worse, poorly run chains run by people who don't care! So, buy local when you can! read more

Food is always amazing and plentiful! We get takeout from here all the time, and it never disappoints. I've never known of anyone that couldn't get full from one of their dinners and not have leftovers. read more

I have always had a good experience every time I go. usually I get the daily special (which has been the same special since forever), but this time I decided to get the chicken teriyaki. Service is always quick and fast which is one thing I love about going here. I'm always in and out. sometimes I enjoy eating in because it's so quiet and smells so good but most times I get it to-go. My favorite thing about the chicken teriyaki was the sauce. It wasn't too salty or sweet. The texture of their rice is always so nice, zucchini is never too mushy or too hard, and the chicken is always cooked perfectly. I love coming here when i'm in town and I love bringing my out-of-town friends here! You need to try the rice with their Yum Yum sauce too. It's to die for! read more

See all

I've been coming here for a while and it never disappoints also there is a cat bank. It's overall a great place to get some good food

The interior of this restaurant leaves A LOT to be desired. So, that takes away from the food, which was average...at best. The folks that work there were very nice, but I will not go back. read more

This place is a walk in and order, and most people take it to go. At meal time many eat there also. There is a large sign in the window sesame chicken $5.25 all day. So I ordered that. It came in the styrofoam clamshell. It was packed full. Mostly brown rice but still plenty of chicken and some squash and onion in there too. It was ok. Not bad, but not good. I ate a fair amount and dumped the rest. It came with this sauce that maybe was sesame? Im not sure. I took a taste and no....not going to use this stuff. For those on a budget its a good place. In a small town you have limited options in Asian so maybe thats why this place is rated 4 star average as I type. If it was in a city it would not be so high. read more

Great sushi rolls! I love the Twins roll. The shrimp soba and chicken teriyaki are really good, too.

Good food for the price. We had the habachi chicken and it was good, hot, and fresh. For a quick, cheap meal you can't beat it.

I order a hibachi chicken with no vegetables extra chicken. When I got it had vegetables in it.

I used to loveeeee this place but my friends got chopped chicken toes in their food and I haven't been able to stomach it since. I guess that means the meat there is really fresh but makes me worried about their method of cleaning and the cross contamination that could come from this happening since they always get veggie dishes. The staff are super nice though so I don't want to give 1 star because I do value them but overall that was just gross and raised many concerns for me. read more

Currently my favorite Asian food in the area, including Huntsville. The service is always quick and the people are friendly. Good price too.

For the love of God! If you gave this place a good rating do NOT ever leave Scottsboro and travel to eat real hibachi or sushi! You will never come back here. I honestly do not know what the heck I just ate. The sesame chicken...well, it wasn't like any I've ever had. The sushi was mostly cream cheese, and the wasabi and ginger were some kind of weird neon artificial colors with no flavor at all. I only gave two stars because the spring rolls (which probably came straight from a freezer pack) were not terrible. I'm not going to even mention this building with no health rating displayed. read more

Good sushi but California roll has artificial crab meat. Hostess or cashier could be more friendly - I almost left on my first visit there because of scowling and she didn't like answering my questions. Hibachi food is good and full of veg. read more

Tokyo Japan - Sushi rolls are good ! - Japanese Near Me - Scottsboro, Alabama

this place is nor good when we come but this time the zucchini tasted ruined and they gave out to a another table thinking it was ours and they got it so they tried getting it to me and I didn't want it after it being at another table read more

Being masochist, I had to try the one and only Japanese place in town again. The teriyaki bowl was generous in size for $5, and the teriyaki sauce wasn't too sweet - halfway between soy sauce and normal sweet teriyaki sauce - which I actually liked on the grilled chicken. The rice, however, was drenched in the sauce. I think I figured out why their sushi isn't great. The rice was cold (refrigerated day-old?) rather than fresh from the cooker, so it was hard, which is probably why it took the chef forever to make. The fish on the rainbow roll was the same - not super fresh, and they skimped on the fish with some avocado. read more

Not bad. This is my third time back. Food is good and the pricing is very fair. The sushi is good and the Bento Box is filling. read more

The food is fantastic, i have been there a number of times and have never gotten anything that was not delicious. The service is great, if you order take out just wait about 10 minutes and go and pick your order up. I would highly recommend this resturant to anyone. read more

This restaurant is one of the best in town, you get 5 times the amount of food you pay for,the workers are always very respectful and never mess up orders, the food is fantastic and the sushi is great, I suggest the Tokyo roll for anyone's first time, it's one of the best read more

This place has the best miso soup. Awesome sushi. Very large servings. Friendly service.

Bad service, filthy restaurant, but good food. I couldn't get over the smell. I don't think it's the food in anyway but the lack of cleanliness of the building. I live down the road and see the parking lot always full. My wife and I laugh, it seems people don't mind the smell or the scenery. I guess when the food is good, don't worry where it comes from....just eat it. read more

Tokyo is the best. They have great tasting food. I have been On so many occasions and i plan to go back. My niece asked for this specifically one day! I always get hibachi chicken with yum yum sauce and sometimes California rolls. Their sushi is fresh and delicious and did I mention that a $5 plate of food is enough to give me 4 meals?? Its beyond worth the money and its great read more

This place is great. If you're hungry, come here. The food is not only great but the portions are HUGE. You must try this place once then you'll see. read more

My son talks about this place all the time! We were in town and decided to check it out. The food was really good and the deep fried sushi roll was heaven!! The lady taking our BIG order was patient and helpful, she suggested we spilt the orders between the kids because the portions are huge, sure enough! We will definitely be back. read more

This place is slammed and have lots of cooks in the back. Obviously a favorite here in town. Food looks great and is extremely inexpensive. Teriyaki bowl is only 5.25. I ordered that and the beef teriyaki. read more

I'm the Postmaster in Scottsboro and I'm located directly across the street and that's awesome because I love their food! I tend to get the same thing (Teriyaki Chicken) but I've tried other things and always have a great experience! The Imperial Platter is fantastic you get a ton of food for your money! I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Absolute best place in Scottsboro to eat, all the food is great! Must try the fried rice & shrimp sauce.

I'm in Scottsboro doing some fishing at lake Guntersville, so I've been checking out the very small selection of non-fast food eating establishments. Tokyo Japan is the only teriyaki house in town, and I've eaten there twice now. I tried the bento box with chicken and beef. The chicken and beef were both decent with good enough flavor. The shrimp tempura wasn't tempura at all...just frozen, breaded shrimp. The tempura sauce was WAY too sweet, the rice was dry, and the california roll was loose but tasted ok. The service was cold...very unlike the warm locals. I think it's run by Vietnamese. This is the kind of teriyaki house that makes me yearn for Seattle...sigh. read more

Actually a 4.5 for me. I've been twice, and both times were fantastic! Except for 1 thing. I think once they are able to do so, they could do for some different decor and tables/chairs. Otherwise the sushi is delicious and presented well, the bento box is filling, & the teriyaki chicken is just right. A great place to stop for lunch in Scottsboro. read more

I love this place, you aren't paying for a fancy venue. The pricing is a good value. I always get the sesame chicken. It's a whole plate piled with rice, fried zucchini, and chicken. Very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant for those on a budget. read more

Never mind the rundown restaurant, the food is great and so is the staff. There's only two other options for asian style food in scottsboro and they both suck. If that's what you want save time and go here, problem solved. Seems like the only bad reviews are greasy california people expecting 5 star dining for $6 it's fast food. Go back to california and suck some ozone or whatever it is you people do over there. read more

I NEVER eat fish, so sushi restaurants don't really appeal to me, however, the Soba is to die for, and the chicken teriyaki is PERFECT (served with fresh broccoli and rice) the chicken has just enough sauce. The hibachi plates are always wonderful, including the shrimp and the woman who most frequently works the register is one of the friendliest faces in town. The food is ready quickly, but always cooked fresh. The prices are very reasonable for every menu item, and I always look forward to eating there. read more

Love the veggie sushi roll and seaweed salad! And when I asked about the vegan-friendliness of the miso soup, the owner happily brought out the recipe card and made a special order for me. The decor is a little cheap and tacky, and it's in what was a Jack's in the nineties; it definitely hasn't been updated since then. Who can really complain when the prices are incredible, the portions are huge, and the food is delicious? read more

I personally don't recommend this place anymore. Lately, they have massively been screwing up my orders... like giving my food away to 3 other customers then treating me like a liar. You'll be stuck trying to explain that you didn't eat the food - you never got it. The reason that happens is they don't give an itemized receipt and they bring your order out in parts - which helped cause the confusion. I'll give a recent example. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we first ordered. Three other customers came in, ordered, and left with their food before us. We thought it was strange that ours was taking so long. Oh yeah, they marked our dine-in order as takeout... then they gave us the other customers orders. Out of 4 sushi rolls only 1 was correct and the tempura was missing. 2 should have been spicy but none were. To the random stranger who got our volcano and dynamite rolls... sorry about that... hope you like spicy. The dude was barely paying attention when he was spraying on the sirracha. If they had paid a little more attention we'd all have the correct orders. 4 times is too many. I'm out. read more
