    Steak Shrimp and fried rice
    Nick C.

    My son who graduated wanted teppanyaki. Lancaster I believe only has 2 Teppanyaki spots and they are both Tokyo Steak. Well... I did a little research on Tokyo Steak to see what others were enjoying. In my opinion it's not much. I dont ever go to teppanyaki places. Last one I been to was Bennihana so I guess that's the standard. Unfortunately Tokyo Steak falls short. The Pros. The staff was friendly and for the most part attentive. The beer was cold. The Cons. I have to agree with others in saying the place is outdated. Not too much but it would be nice to see a fresh look here. Decor is nice but just need to be slightly refreshed. The chef, well they were nice. It just felt lack luster in effort trying to entertain. It wasn't sloppy it was more so less enthusiastic. Still nice though. The food. Well Im gonna be honest. I have better food at more casual even consider fast restaurants. This includes both quality, taste and execution. The sushi bar was closed so no sushi. I was a bit sad but in hindsight it was a blessing in disguise. The fried rice lacked flavor. Steak is cooked in teriyaki and lacked flavor and overall quality. The shrimp was mediocre. Salty was the only flavor profile. Veggies same. Salty and lacked depth. Tempura was okay. Edamame was okay. The food is prepared starting with the rice first then the proteins then the veggies. I think the veggies could be cooked along side the proteins. So that it all comes out at the same time. Oh well. Overall the food was meh, lacked depth, and was either just salty or tossed in a basic teriyaki. The price. After everything was said an done. A few beers, fountain drinks, 4 appetizers and dinner for 6 adults and a chile was $430 which included tip. Was it worth it? Probably not. I wouldnt recommend tokyo steak. However I do think all this could be easily turned around. Some upgrades to the decor. Change some of the recipes so that each protein is unique. And add less salt / soy to the fried rice. And lastly stop using margarine on the proteins and rice. Its literally just adding more oil.

    Pretty damn good, drinks are strong, and I believe it's cheaper then benihanas I would definitely recommend

    Great food and great experience! I really enjoyed the food but also the experience the chef provided. He was super kind and seemed to really enjoy his job:) I forgot to take pics of the food bc it was so good but here's a pic of their Lunch menu as of 6/2025

    Steak ,Double fried rice and veggies

    Service is always great I go to this place often But this last time I went was horrible I asked for medium well , my steak was still bleeding but it was the chef unfortunately I had two bad experiences with this chef next time I'll just see what chef I'll get

    Host, server, and chefs were very nice and accommodating to our requests. Parking was easy but I highly recommend parking as close a possible to the restaurant and away from the other establishment at the other end of the strip mall. The place is a little dated but once we were seated and started interacting with the staff, you kind of forget about the exterior or interior and just enjoy the quick show. The serving was on the bigger side. Our party of 6 each had a to go box at the end of our meals. We tried everything between the steak, chicken, shrimp, scallops, and squid. I probably would stick to the steak and scallops next time, just a personal preference. The fried rice was really tasty, I'm glad our chef gave us plenty. The Lover's Potion drink was pretty strong, I couldn't finish mine! But that's not a bad thing :). The only other similar place is in Palmdale so if you don't feel like making the trek across town, this is a good establishment to visit.

    We just celebrated my son's 16th birthday there. It was so incredible. The entire experience was amazing. Geo our chef was very nice, funny, he did an excellent show. The food was just perfect. Not salty nor over cooked. Definitely recommended. Thank you so much, to the family that was next to us. Also celebrating his birthday 70!

    Food was good

    We came to Tokyo Steak House for my daughter's 21st birthday. Despite the fact they said they were short staffed, the got us seated within a few minutes of our party being there. We did have a short wait for them to take our order, but they came out fast and took our drink order. The meal was good, and our Chef Juan, was great. They even sang and gave my daughter some ice cream. They even had "trainer chop sticks" for my younger daughter.

    Awe he loves us!

However, today I ordered takeout, and I really wish I had just eaten there instead--especially after paying $40 for a plate. The food was not good at all this time. I asked for my steak medium, but it came out way overcooked--dark, rubbery, and lacking flavor. The vegetables were mostly greasy onions, and the soup honestly tasted like water. I kept stirring it hoping it would improve, but it never did. The salad was also disappointing--just a few shreds of lettuce, with the bottom of the container clearly visible. The fried rice was fine, but that was about it. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering takeout. It felt like much less care went into the food compared to dining in. On a positive note, the waitresses seem nice. However, I was only given the red sauce initially and had to ask for the yellow sauce, which took a while to get. It would be helpful if sauces were prepared and included with to-go orders from the start.

We were greeted by the super nice Mr. Mori when we arrived and were seated immediately. Within 5 minutes of being seated, they brought out a fresh salad and the best miso soup I think I have ever had as an appetizer. For my main protein, I ordered the chicken and shrimp, but we also ordered the steak and lobster. The steak was a perfect medium rare and the shrimp was amazing! "More butter, more better!" The chicken was perfectly cooked, still juicy. The lobster tasted fresh, and all of the food was done cooking and on the plate in a timely fashion. The coke they have comes in a plastic bottle, so you get more than you would from a can and if you don't finish it you can take it home. The waitresses were friendly and helpful. There were people celebrating a birthday and you could tell they go there a lot. They seemed super satisfied with their meal and left really happy. The bathroom was clean and fully stocked with soap and toilet paper. Over all, it was a great experience and I will definitely be back!

Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to what we remembered. Being given plastic utensils while dining in was surprising, especially at this price point. The service and food were just okay, and the "miso soup" was actually plain chicken broth, which was disappointing and unexpected. Overall, it didn't feel like the same experience we used to enjoy. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism, as we'd love to see the quality return to what it once was.

Mi última experiencia fue algo totalmente distinto. Llegué con mi familia y tuvimos que esperar unos 30 minutos para pagar; nos hicieron sentarnos en una zona de espera donde había una alfombra empapada (no sé por qué). Mientras esperábamos, pasó un hombre sin hogar, se saltó la fila sin pagar y nadie lo detuvo. Se dirigió hacia la parte trasera del restaurante y, desafortunadamente para mí y mi familia, ahí era precisamente donde nos habían sentado. El hombre empezó a tomar los platos limpios y a apilarlos, y nadie decía nada. Tuve que avisar a una empleada, quien le indicó que no podía hacer eso; él se detuvo, tomó un plato y comenzó a llenarlo de verduras y carne para que se lo cocinaran. Yo estaba esperando detrás de él, y él seguía tomando comida para un tercer plato, hasta que la empleada volvió a decirle que no podía hacerlo; finalmente, se quedó con uno de los tres platos, mientras que los otros dos fueron a parar a la basura, arrojados allí por los empleados. Tomé un plato --haciendo un gran esfuerzo por seguir dispuesto a comer allí--, pero mientras este hombre esperaba su comida, se puso a deambular por la zona y comenzó a tocar las cucharas y los tenedores sin motivo alguno. Una vez más, la empleada le pidió que dejara de hacerlo. Cuando los pedidos estuvieron listos, él tomó mi plato por error; eso fue la gota que colmó el vaso para mí, así que decidí abandonar el lugar. Ahora me pregunto: ¿por qué tenemos que presenciar todo esto? ¿Y acaso nadie habría hecho nada al respecto si yo no hubiera dicho nada?

We visited on January 8th after 12:30 PM, hoping for a peaceful lunch, but the experience was unfortunately very stressful. ​A woman who appeared to be dining alone with several children allowed them to run wildly throughout the entire restaurant without any discipline or supervision. This created a chaotic environment that showed a complete lack of respect for the establishment and other diners. ​I brought this to the manager's attention, requesting that they speak to the parent and ask that the children remain seated for safety and decorum. Unfortunately, management did not take action. While we like the food, we cannot enjoy a meal in such a disruptive setting. We won't be returning if this lack of supervision and management intervention continues, as the experience is simply not worth the frustration.
