Amazing! First time here, and I will definitely be back. The hibachi steak and chicken are so tender, yaki tori is soo good. The gyoza was super delicious. I can't wait to come back. Plus the fact that they're open late is a bonus. read more

The food wafresh and flavorful!!! Only big negative. One meal came quickly and one came 30 minutes later. The to go orders were gone wild. Lined down the counter Bento box came soo late. I never took pic. Friend had finished eating. read more

I have been back a few times now and am happy to say things are much much better. Service is rough but it's just one woman doing all of the service, and possibly coking too. Another young man making sushi as well. But the foods been really enjoyable. read more

Stopped in for lunch at the suggestion of my fiancé. This is their regular stop. Family of staff were tremendously, friendly, and service was good. The inside is a typical family style restaurant where half is dining and the other half is them living their lives. I have no problem with that as that's what we are all trying to do. Order a couple rolls That came with salad and soup. Miso was very brothy versus substance, but good flavor. Salad and ginger dressing was reasonable. The rules themselves were very good solid flavor amongst multiple fish. Overall, this is a good stop for lunch if you are a regular in Herkimer . read more

Came here to eat as a quick stop on my way to Verona, New York... This place has very very good lunch prices.(didn't see the lunch prices on the actual menu, but they are on yelp.) As for what we ordered, we ordered the two sushi rolls and the spicy honey chicken. Sushi was done nicely good flavor, tight rolls. as for the spicy honey chicken, which came with a small bowl of hibachi rice rice was good definitely had that nice hibachi taste. The tempura on the chicken was cooked. Very well nice and crispy. Just the way I like it and the honey sauce was on point!! This might be our stop from now on each time we make it to upstate New York.. read more

Excellent fried rice with shrimp Very friendly owners and staff! I recommend this restaurant for great Japanese food read more

I refuse to eat here but it's the only place that has sushi around. So I come to pick up the sushi for my daughters, the place is dirty and smells and when they say thirty minutes, it's never thirty minutes . The sushi is so/so, a step up from gas station sushi but not much better. How do they get away with 8 year olds working the counter/register? read more

stopped by here on my way home...i ordered one of the sashimi bento boxes and i didn't finish all the pieces out of fear of getting food poisoning. i got a tummy ache later from eating the pieces i ingested. the restaurant needs gordon ramsey in ever way possible. read more

In Ilion doing training and felt like sushi. This place in Herkimer came up with some great ratings. We are starting out in a good way. They have a heavy Japanese accent and I asked for the naruto roll and although not on menu, they are making it for me. If you do t know what this is, well you will have t check out the picture. Started with small salad and miso soup. Nix the miso soup. The spicy tuna was delicious but could had been a touch more spicy. Also four rolls seems a little on the short side for me. The tuna roll was delicious and volcano roll hit the spot. All in all good tasting smaller portions hence the four star. I'd stop here again passing through. The waitress was nice and I think her dad waited on me. No English. Price was spot on $14.00 read more

Excellent sashimi and beef hibachi. The soup, a clear broth with mushrooms and onion, was delicious. Service was good, although a little slow. We will be back! read more

I haven't been here in a while and not sure why other than it was forgettable. Having lived in bigger cities (close to ports with fresh seafood options), the sushi was just ok, and that seems to be what people talk about the most. read more

Saw the reviews on Yelp and decided to stop in here on my way home from Albany. It was getting late and I was starving! We were greeted at the door immediately. At 8 pm there were only two other people in the restaurant. We looked over the menu and everything sounded so good! I ordered seaweed salad and 3 sushi rolls. The seaweed salad was a good size and I loved it. It is always one of my favorites. The 3 rolls came with either soup or salad. I had the salad because I love the ginger dressing that always comes on them. Then attacked the sushi. All of it was very good. Even though I was starving I could not finish it because it was just too much food. I wish l liked leftover sushi because I would have taken it home, but I cannot eat it unless it is fresh. Soooo I forced myself to eat most of it. I was stuffed, but happy :) My boyfriend got a bento box and it came with soup and salad. He dug right in and enjoyed his as well. We both ended up with a firecracker roll and what surprised me is that it was served hot. I had never eaten sushi at that temperature but was very good! It was also his favorite. I am excited because when I go to Albany I usually make a "pit stop" in Herkimer. And I love sushi. I think I have now found my "go to" place when I get off that exit. The only complaint I have is that it took a really long time to get out of there once we were done. It was the end of the night and they were cleaning up. We had to wait for a box for his to go. Then we had to wait for the bill. Then we had to wait an even longer time to have them cash us out. For several minutes both the sushi chef and the wait staff were not in the room at all and we were just waiting and waiting to get on our way back home. I am sure they wanted to get all their work done so they could close on time too...so cannot really blame them...we we still had a long drive ahead. That won't stop me from going back and having sushi again though :) read more

Always get great service when I go here and the food is spectacular. I would recommend to anyone looking for good sushi and hibachi for cheap. read more

Small business; very well run. They dealt with Covid quite well; bringing your orders to your car. The sushi is excellent, the gyozas are addictive (get 3 orders!), and the hibachi foods are amazing. They 3-roll combos are the perfect main course; as are the bento boxes. This quiet little restaurant is every bit as good as the big city sushi joints. read more

Not bad food, the service is somewhat odd. Decent for a quick bite in the Herkimer area.

Cute little hole in the wall that's easy to get to from the Thruway. Stopped in to tame a sushi craving, and was greeted by a very busy waitress who was manning the entire restaurant, but seemed to be well known and liked by the locals. The sushi was great, I didn't get too adventurous and just stuck with some spicy tuna and salmon, but their specialty rolls sounded awesome! (Darn avocado allergy! :( ) Got a stir-fried using dish as well, but it didn't have much flavor at all and the beef was really chewy. All in all I'd definitely return if I was passing through Herkimer! read more

Best sushi in the valley. Volcano roll is my favorite. Sweetest owners as well! We enjoy going here for date night before COVID but now have it delivered for an eat in night. My husband loves their soup and their saki. In house, they have a broad selection of sodas as well! Cute little place with cute little waiters too! read more

Love love love their sushi and hibachi. I live in the New Hartford area and I will drive 35 minutes to get their food! So amazing!

Sat in a booth, the restaurant was nice and quiet and mostly empty. I thought the food was delicious! I ordered the S3 combo. It consisted of a red dragon roll (shrimp tempura inside spicy tuna outside), avocado peanut roll, volcano roll appetizer (which she told us was white fish inside deep fried), two pieces of sushi (I think tuna and salmon), a soup AND salad. Lots of food for $18. All delicious. The spicy tuna was excellent! The volcano roll was very tasty. My husband got a Maki roll combo he said the rolls were good. The beer was buy one get one free! 4 bucks for two bottles of corona, that's a good deal. My children shared an order of edamame and a kids meal of lo mein with chicken and French fries. They both liked their meals. I would definitely return. read more

I've been going here since I was 16 (im 26 now and live faaaaar away) I will always come back get some of this bomb sushi ! Highly recommend,service may be short and clipped but the food is worth it . read more

My dad eats here a couple times a week, and I've been here about half a dozen times with him. The sushi is very fresh, and the prices are pretty affordable. The menu has a lot of pictures, and the more fancifully named rolls tell you what's in them. Sushi after all, isn't just about fish. There are options that don't include fish, cooked or otherwise. Or even any meat at all. They have appetizers and stand alone items, but the menu mostly consists of box meals. They have chicken or salmon teriyaki, tempura, fried rice and more. I usually get a 2 sushi roll box, dad gets the 3. The 2/3 roll boxes come with a choice of a few different rolls. Vegetable, California, Avocado, Peanut Avocado (love this), Philadelphia and a couple others. You get miso soup before your box. The box comes with a simple salad and these delicious warm tempura-ed rolls, I think they're called special dragon. They also carry Ramune soda, which is a guilty pleasure. And ice cream - red bean, green tea and another flavor (probably vanilla). Regular or fried. The staff are very friendly. read more

From the outside you might not be able to tell but this place has excellent food. The sushi always tastes fresh and the Hibachi is bursting with authentic flavors read more

Awesome sushi in Herkimer is just one of those weird things in the world that no one can explain. The sushi is consistently fresh and high quality. They clearly take great pride in preparing their food. If you don't like fish, there are plenty of other dishes on the menu. There are a lot of rolls with cooked seafood if you're squeamish about eating it raw. The food is always made with fresh ingredients. I can understand being skeptical of Herkimer sushi, but I've eaten here countless times and continue to be impressed with the quality. The Tempura Udon is really good. I wish they had more non-sushi dishes like the Udon. Hopefully someday they'll expand the menu. For now, there's plenty of great rolls on the menu. It's really a unique restaurant. The atmosphere is very relaxing and almost like a log cabin. I always feel like I want to go to sleep when I'm done eating. read more

Yep, the empire crab rolls were the best I've ever had - delicious! Also got some tasty garlic broccoli as an app and we both got steak, chicken and shrimp hibachi - all fantastic. read more

Tokyo Restaurant - Empire rolls - sooooo good! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Herkimer, New York

Food was very tasty. Veggie Yaki udon, chicken teriyaki and chicken fried rice. Entrees came out one at a time so people had to start eating separately. Friendship roll was also very good as well as the appetizers - spring rolls and fried vegetable wontons. It was my mom's first time eating at a Japanese restaurant and she was very pleased :) read more

YUM!! Can't wait until they're dine in is open. We've been getting take out, they come right to the car. Always friendly

If I could give no stars, I would. We were told it would be 30 minutes for sushi, and ended up waiting an hour and a half. Thank god we ordered some things from the kitchen menu because we would've walked out as soon as the hour mark passed. We got the lomein, and I have to add that it was the most flavorless and greasy lomein. Incredibly disappointing service. They're complaining that it's extremely busy, when there was about 8 people in the restaurant. The sushi chef is extremely slow, taking his sweet time. I've never been to such a disorganized restaurant, where the waitresses are so confused that they almost served another table our food, and when we claimed it, it took her about 3 minutes to realize she should probably lay the food down on the table. Definitely will not be coming back here. If they think this is busy, they really need to go see what a REAL sushi restaurant is like. read more

The lo mein noodles are by far the best ones in the area, with an extraordinary smoky flavor! Excellent service! Clean, fast, and inexpensive! read more

The best sushi in the valley! My boyfriend and I frequent this restaurant often and we love it. The service is amazing and the sushi is always fresh and delicious. The prices are very reasonable as well! Will always be a patron of this establishment. read more

My husband and I came here for lunch, the place was empty at first and slowly got busier. We both got the sushi combos. I can't say enough about the freshness of the sushi and the promptness of the service. Everything was absolutely delicious. Great sushi place, we were surprised by this because it is such a small town! read more

Great service, cheap prices l, good sushi. Tempora and fried rice are delicious. The three roll special comes with a fried shrimp roll thing that is also fantastic. The sushi itself is ok, but definitely worth the price and experience. read more

Probably one of the better Asian restaurants in the area. I won't eat sushi anywhere else besides Tokyo because it's always tasty and fresh. They have a wide variety of choices and styles to choose from. My alltime favorite meal there is the Chefs Special Tokyo Spicy Chicken. It comes with this spicy red dipping sauce that tastes great. The fried rice is also amazing! The waitresses and staff are also very nice and professional. The only reason I don't give this place 5 stars is because they've raised their dinner prices and removed some of the good deals. For example, for the first few years they were open, they had a dinner specials called Bento Box. There were several varieties but you could get the Tokyo Spicy Chicken, Miso or Clear soup, a side salad, edamame beans, and 4 pieces of California Roll sushi all for one price. They no longer do this. Your best bet is going to this place for lunch, because then you get a meal, soup and salad and rice. If you go during dinner you have to choose the soup or salad. Both isn't an option. Great tasting food though, will always be a loyal customer. read more

Have been ordering from Tokyo Sushi for about two years. My experience over time has been less and less appealing when it comes to the quality of the sashimi it has become very inconsistent. My last 15 piece order had about 6 quality bites; the rest was completely inedible. I certainly do not consider only receiving 14 pieces acceptable nor do I consider imitation crab or a sorry looking butterflied shrimp to be quality sushi. Will have to look elsewhere if things don't change. read more

The food was okay, but not great. Most was under-seasoned and overcooked. They only had one waitress on staff and she had a hard time keeping up with the demands of takeout and dine in at the same time. She was very pleasant, but We ordered vegetable lo mein and chicken teriyaki. The miso soup was good - flavorful and good texture. The lo mein was overcooked and lacked flavor, but the veggies were cooked perfectly. The chicken teriyaki was not teriyaki, the chicken had a strange texture, and the rice lacked flavor. Overall, a disappointing experience. read more

OMG we are addicted to this little place. Awesome sushi and bento boxes. Great edamame and tempura veggies. Very clean and quiet little hole in the wall. If you blink you would miss it. Just find McDonald's and its across the street. GREAT FOOD!!! read more
