I got the chef special, salmon belly. I asked for additional roe topping. The salmon belly was delicious. It was perfectly cooked. It was tender and juicy, absolutely melt in your mouth juicy. I was expecting a small piece of salmon belly, but it was a generous portion. I'll definitely reorder this next time. I also ordered the grilled salmon plate, which came with a much smaller piece of salmon. I was surprised the salmon portion was so small compared to the salmon belly and mackerel plate. The salmon did taste great at least. My bf got pork katsu and he liked it. I tried the katsu and it was good. My bf thinks the curry sauce was good, but not as good as Coco's. My friend got the mackerel plate, and the mackerel tasted great too. It was also a generous portion of mackerel. read more

Having been to Japan previously, I can say that this is a reasonably authentic and very delicious teishoku restaurant. The service is hands off but pleasant, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the food is filling and well prepared. I recommend the Katsu Ni set read more

This was our second time visiting for a date dinner and I found it better than the first. Partner and I shared a gyoza appetizer and I got Katsu Don while partner got a set plate. The gyoza was decent. I like my gyoza more like noodle texture, so this was a bit crispy for me, but I enjoyed how strong the sauce was. My Katsu Don was a good value for money and tasted overall decent. Partner enjoyed his set plate very much. I find this a decent place to get Katsu. Partner and I can't speak to other dishes but I'd say you'd do well with most Katsu dishes! read more

I ordered grilled mackeral and two salmon bento that was supposed to come with potato salad, cabbage, edamame, and eggroll but it came with grated radish and boiled spinach instead. This was for dinner to go on a weekend. The eggroll was also missing. I honestly didnt care for anything we got. The grilled mackeral didnt taste like it was grilled. Everything was bland. Maybe we'll give it another try and stick to sushi instead. read more

First time here and won't be my last! I went for a dinner date with a friend and we started off with fried shishito pepper as our appetizer, then the sashimi assortment deluxe 5 kinds and chicken katsudon. We were very happy and satisfied with everything we ordered! The fried shishito pepper did not have a strong seasoning but the fried and touch of salt taste was just perfect, the chicken katsudon wasn't any special but just good and the sashimi was SUPER DUPER fresh and yummy!! I'm obsessed. The restaurant is spacious and kinda cutesy! The service was good and I will be back real soon!! read more

A gem in Plano! Eating this Pork Katsu plate and the Chicken Katsu Curry felt like my husband and I were back in Sunshine City eating at our favorite katsu place in Japan. This place is the real deal. If you are homesick or just missing katsu please stop at this place for it! We also had Hamachi Nigiri and the quality was amazing. They did not skimp on the fish, it was also a good cut and deliciously fresh! The staff were very kind and the inside is very clean. I will definitely be saving this place to return to and recommending others to visit! read more

I was honestly trying not to make a review on this place until i was able to come back but the food was so good ! I got a mackerel set meal, a banana cherry cocktail, and a yuzu highball . The service was amazing, it was one lady doing 4 tables and she was very efficient and polite. She also made the delicious cocktails ! The ambiance was warm, relaxing and had good background music that wasn't overwhelming. The food and the drinks were so good, and it was literally 30 minutes before they closed ! They ran the place like they weren't closing at all and we got to try some smoked tuna with cucumber (it was delicious‍). I'm looking forward to my next visit to try the chicken katsu curry and a melon float ! read more

Update: December 15, 2025 We went to try their lunch menu. We also brought our middle son, a big fan of Japanese food. They have a different menu for lunch. They also offer combo lunch. I ordered Soba shoyu noodles soup and tuna rolls. They're delicious. Service is great. Great ambiance. Our middle son agreed that this Japanese restaurant is the best so far in the area. They're using fresh and good quality ingredients. read more

Happy birthday to you! And by you, I mean my youngest brother! My family came here for my brother's birthday, and boy was I blown away! This place had one of the most beautiful and comforting interior decoration/design out of the restaurants I have reviewed so far. The outside had this cool display with action figures. I don't watch anime, but I'm sure if I did, the display would've been even cooler than it already was. W service as well! Tasty food, this place is solid and I will be back read more

Came here on a recommendation because I was seriously craving ten don, a tempura rice bowl situation, and it hit the spot. I went during lunch and was a little surprised that it was part of their lunch special and it did come with soba noodles and a salad.The soba was comforting and light, and the salad was fresh and simple in the best way. All the tempura l was crispy and satisfying without being too greasy. The wait staff were so kind and attentive, which made the whole experience feel really warm. I would absolutely come back. read more

Very authentic Japanese restaurant nestled within a quiet shopping complex. They are known for their curries and katsu, which they excel in. We usually order the katsu-ni curry, which is a fried pork cutlet cooked in egg, the katsu curry, or the katsu don, which is a fried pork cutlet over seasoned rice. It's the best tonkatsu and curry I've had in DFW. Part of what makes it great is they use high quality Berkshire pork that is juicy with a good balance of fat. The Jiro-style ramen is also really good. Very hearty and flavorful. The interior here feels like you're in Japan and the staff is actually Japanese which is great. They currently give free soft serve ice cream for kids which is a big plus. We eat here a lot but never get sick of it because it's always a great experience. read more

I heard how this place had the best tonkatsu so I went to give it a try. I think I made a mistake when I ordered the egg with the tonkatsu since it kinda drowned out the flavor of the pork. It was still pretty good but next time, no egg for sure. My friend said he liked his beef curry udon. I had a piece of his grilled Mackerel and it was just ok. If I was in the area then I'll eat here again but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. read more

Tucked away in this quiet plaza is one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in the area. Shokudo literally translates to "eating hall", which to me means food hall - which I can totally feel the vibe when I walk in - and that's not a bad thing! Super casual experience and friendly service - I love being able to just order stuff via QR code and not having to bug the waiter a billion times because I forgot to add something. Authentic flavors and freshness are always a top notch here. I feel like this is an excellent place to get several small things so you can sample many different flavor profiles in one sitting. Personally I like to start with something like the salmon ikura bowl and work my way up to some katsu curry rice to make sure I hit my basic food groups of fish, pork and rice Just be mindful to check their hours - their kitchen usually closes 30 minutes before the doors do, so be sure to leave yourself enough time. This place otherwise doesn't disappoint. read more

Tried this place out a few days ago since we were shopping in the area. The ambiance is nice and makes you feel like you're in Japan. The food is amazing. I was very impressed by their Katsu Curry and they make their own curry as well. Sometimes it can be a bit too sweet for my liking but I feel like theirs has a good balance and you can pick the spice level. The katsu was well fried and super tasty. The teriyaki chicken is ok, quite basic but not bad. The katsu is what you should go for here. We also got a shrimp tempura roll which was pretty good. Overall we enjoyed the food and I look forward to going back and trying more things. If I want katsu I have a go to place now! read more

We ordered their Original Takoyaki and Chicken Katsu Curry, both of which hit the spot! The dishes here are so authentic, everything tasted as if it were teleported in from Japan. They even serve Cream Soda here (a Japanese classic)! The restaurant had lots of cute decor. I especially liked reading what others wrote on the Japanese fortune tree as I waited to be seated. I'm in Texas for a short time and am happy to admit that this restaurant was worth the visit despite all of the other restaurants I could have tried. read more

We got the spicy teriyaki chicken and chicken katsu curry udon. Both were delicious and had fresh, tender meat. Plus, the sizes were good! I wish they had a lunch special because I would devour my way through them. Overall prices are a tad pricey, but so worth it. Support your local japanese restaurant! read more

I really hate giving this place a bad review because I want to support my local Japanese businesses but the food is just not... good. I got a spicy miso ramen for takeout (asked to have it brought back to me) and the soup had absolutely zero spice and zero miso in it. The portion was also very small in my opinion for how much the cost is. This was my first time trying the ramen here and the broth was too thin all while being overly oily (I know it's ramen but it's still way greasier than any other ramen I've ever had - and I've had a LOT of ramen), and salty. The good points about this place would be I heard that the staff are nice. Completely got my order incorrect but I'll give them that. read more

I'm pretty easy to please but have some gripes about my meal. First, I was a bit underwhelmed with sushi options. Second, I found two bones in my salmon filet and that ruined my appetite. Third, the cleaning solution used (I think) on the floors causes the whole restaurant to have a faint funky cleaner smell. If you can look beyond this, the restaurant itself is pretty cutely decorated and well done. My husband really enjoyed his ramen bowl. I was bummed there weren't more vegetarian options since I would have loved a vegetarian or vegan ramen bowl, which plenty of other restaurants offer. We will probably not be back. Our server was nice but never refilled our waters. read more

This s one of my favourite restaurant! There's plenty of choices from ramen to donburi to Izakaya! It was my first time taking to go cause I'm not feeling well but still delicious! There's lots of choices here and I recommend the spicy miso. Ramen noodles are nice, al dente and slight bite to them! Egg is jammy but a bit cold sometimes. Chasu is delicious. Beef Udon here is good but not my favourite. I just prefer the ramen here! Service is friendly, place is clean & I love the decor! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while now and was so happy/excited to finally get the chance to! First of all, the interior design is so cute and homey - especially the booth seatings. Highly recommend for a cute first date!! You order off of a QR code and pay directly on it which makes things super convenient. Food comes pretty much a few mins after you send the order, really fast service! The food.. THE FOOD!!!!! We ordered all the "highly recommended" dishes off the menu since it was our first time. The karaage was honestly one of the best karaage I've had in a while, it wasn't oily or extremely crunchy like most - it was the right amount of crisp and fried. The dipping sauce was also not overly mayo-y which was a plus. Having the karaage first, I knew the katsu would be amazing and it WAS!!!! Oh boy, the katsu curry was so delicious this is now my go to for katsu!! My mouth is watering thinking about it. The sushi was priced just right and the salmon tasted so buttery and good. Will definitely be back!! Love love love this place!! I can't wait to be back to try their other dishes. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile. It looks cute, but the food is not it. When we entered it smelled like sewage. I do not know if it is what they clean with or what. My kids and I looked at each other and I knew we were thinking the same thing. We ordered a variety of food. The ramen was not it. Did not taste that great or like places that specialize in ramen. We also ordered some of the sushi. Again, not great. Actually tasted worse than grocery store sushi. I think the fish was not fresh. The avocado in the rolls was brown as well. My salmon roll's salmon was chewy and grossed me out so much. Salmon is literally my favorite, but only when it is fresh and melts in your mouth. The tempura was good, but how can you even go wrong with frying vegetables? I wouldn't go back for the tempura alone. If you don't live close, save yourself the trip. The food was not the best and we have better Japanese restaurants in the DFW area. I will say, none of us got food poisoning. read more

i really think their best + most worth is items are anything katsu. we decided to branch out a little bit from our usual orders... but we were a bit disappointed. the sushi bowl mainly has the sushi at the very top and lots of rice. also its mainly sushi rice, which means a wetter consistency. thats the traditional Japanese way, but not something im a fan of, so if you arent either, i wouldn't recommend this dish the ramen was pretty standard. its just a pretty small portion for the price. personally i recommend the chicken ramen from the preston rd location of yama. that one is amazing! perfect yolky egg w large meat pieces. read more

I felt like I was back in Japan again when I ate here. The food was incredibly good and fresh, having a feel of "home" that I rarely taste in similar restaurants. The entire restaurant's interior was unique and had a lot of space, and I loved seeing the classic plastic sample dishes outside at the front. With how easy it was to order and how quick the food came out, there's very little (if anything) I would change about eating here. We have a new favorite Japanese restaurant in DFW now! read more

This place is amazeballs and has truly authentic Japanese cuisine because a) all the employees speak Japanese, b) you have those fake plastic food displays enshrined in glass cases outside, c) there are telltale Japanese instruction diagrams-artwork, d) the food is great and features menu items you simply can't find anywhere else, and e) there is a Japanese broadcast of a Dodgers game plus Pokemon playing on TV screens in the back. Their kikune noodles were fantastic as well, and they offer you free edamame. Excellent experience overall and I shall return! read more

Impressively good Teishoku, Katsu, and soba in a large, well-designed space with perfect service and an authentic experience. Some places bait you with IG worthy pictures of the ambiance, but Tokyo Shokudo was truly huge and beautiful with dedicated Japanese cubbies that felt cozy and themed with cute cartoon/anime posters with recommendations on how to eat your food. The salmon sashimi was delicious, fresh, and wonderful as an appetizer, although a little bit thick would be my only critique. The katsu curry was some of the best I've ever had, with a great kick, massive portion size, and perfect pairing. The tomato sauce like consistency of the curry was very similar to what I had in Okayama and cannot find anywhere else here. Seems to be some collaboration between Carlos Jr from Torrance/Gardena and here in Plano with the special katsu menu- very cool and highlights the authenticity of the experience here. Many Japanese locals here and the wait staff speak primarily in Japanese as well: good sign! Soba was also very good, my gf is a soba enthusiast and she spoke very highly of it. Tempura was crispy but soft and fresh on the inside. This is now our favorite Japanese restaurant in DFW and we will be back. read more

Tokyo Shokudo was average, nothing particularly special or unique about it. The spicy miso ramen was the highlight--very balanced with a great level of spice, and all the ingredients came together nicely. However, the deluxe Tonkatsu ramen felt unbalanced. The broth was extremely rich with fats, and despite the presence of vegetables, it was a very carnivorous and heavy dish. The nami combo was a good deal. The miso ramen in the combo lacked flavor, but the nigiris were good-the fish was smooth, buttery, and melted on the tongue. The interior was beautiful with cute Japanese decor (like the Godzilla) adding to the atmosphere. The lady who served us was very nice too. Overall, I'd rate it a 3.5 if I could. I might come back if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. read more

My family & I enjoyed the service and food here. We're thankful this spot brings traditional Japanese flavors and dishes with high quality ingredients. I personally enjoyed the little details that mirror Japan culture & dining, such as most (if not all) of the plastic, yet realistic looking, dishes showcasing in the window. It gave us an idea of how the dish would look like, & they did not disappoint! We also enjoyed how ordering and paying was simple yet efficient (which is scanning your table's QR code & following the process from there). This place is definitely worth coming back to repeatedly. read more

Food 2/5 Cleanliness 3/5 Decor 5/5 Service 4/5 I really wanted to like this place. It looks so cute, so inviting, and especially exciting to those who miss Japan. But, the food quality is bad enough to keep me from returning. The curry had such an unappealing taste, almost bitter, and the rice was really dry. The tonkatsu was okay, the only edible thing for us, but still not worth having again. The tonkotsu ramen was really disappointing. The noodles were thick and extremely undercooked (crunchy in the middle) and the broth was so oily and salty. I never expect much from kids menu items, but I was surprised how bad their kids meal was. I got the udon kids meal for my little one and it was just udon in a extra salty dashi broth (nothing else added), a huge pile of cheap fries, two pieces of undercooked oily fried chicken, a literal tablespoon of potato salad, a capri sun, and a sugar free orange jello cup. They could've added a little green onion or a bit of beef to the udon, the jello could've been a little dessert made in house instead, and they could've served a real juice. Make it decent or just don't offer it. It makes me so sad and disappointed to see these places that could be awesome, but they're not. They need someone skilled in cooking and make the quality match the price. I hope it changes to something better in the future. read more

This is my fourth or fifth visit at Tokyo Shokudo and I tried their Tendon for the first time and I wished I had it sooner! The Tempuras were perfectly fried and super crispy and the tendon sauce was right on point. The cold udon noodle was also really great. The noodle texture was perfect, right where I wanted it to be and together with the dipping sauce, phenomenal. My husband's karaage teikshoku was great too. Matcha shaved ice is their summer special dessert and it was so flavorful, with plenty of matcha sauce on top of milky shaved ice. Service and ambiance are always great, and I will definitely go back again! read more
