This is for the sushi bar, not the main restaurant. In my opinion its the best between Lewes and Ocean City. I've eaten at most of them, and some are good, some are terrible. What makes the sushi bar at Tokyo Steak House special is the sushi chef, Jimmy. I have been a serious sushi eater for more than 50 years, and I've eaten at some of the best, most expensive sushi bars in the world. What makes a great sushi bar is a great sushi chef, and Jimmy is great. How great? He worked at Nobu in NY. Now if your idea of sushi is a California role, this review is not for you. But if you know the difference between Toro and Maguro, then pay attention. Jimmy responds very well to an informed patron, and if you engage him, and let him know you are serious about sushi, he will treat you right, and offer dishes that are not on the menu, as all great sushi chefs do. Tonight I had the finest Toro I've ever had. I ordered Toro last night when I ate there, and Jimmy told me they were getting in a special order today. So I went back, and he was right. It was amazing. I highly recommend sitting at the bar, not ordering from the table. That way you will get to know Jimmy, and he will get to know you. 5 Stars. read more

I feel like you can never go wrong with hibachi and it is always consistently delicious! We got steak and chicken and scallops and someone had an allergy but they were able to easily accommodate. The cook was very funny and even gave us free shots! The strawberry infused sake was yummy as well. A lot of people were here for their birthday or some sort of celebration. It was a fun night! read more

Not for locals during the tourist season. No happy hour & prices sky high! Bar was totally empty while we were there. Guess we'll move on.

The sushi rolls were different and tasty. There was no issue, but our waiter walked over with 2 small bowls of soy sauce instead of giving us the whole bottle. He had to come over twice carrying little bowls of soy sauce hoping they wouldn't spill because it wasn't enough. I just thought that was odd. read more

An EXCELLENT hibachi and sushi place with very good cocktails. Top-shelf steaks and a beautiful hibachi-style presentation. Your meal WILL be memorable! read more

BEST. FOOD. EVER. I would go here every day if I could. The food is made fresh right in front of you hibachi style and it tastes so wonderful! The fried rice is the best i've ever had! The service is incredible and the whole restaurant has a calm and classy feel. read more

Sushi definitely is top notch! The hibachi service is also great but going to trend towards being on the pricier side. The service is excellent and friendly and you will love the calm aesthetic and atmosphere on the inside. Highly recommend! read more

Thought we made reservations for 7 but no one wrote it in the book. They had to have tables rearranged but it only took a few minutes. I have a mushroom allergy and told waitress before I ordered. Me and a friend split the feliet Mignon and shrimp. They brought our dish out and the waitress said there might be mushrooms to be careful. NO there is not being careful when you have an allergy. She took the dish from me and said the cook would cook me the meal minus the mushrooms. Well now I can't eat with the other six people so I ordered another glass of wine. Took her 15 minutes to bring it. Another bad eating experience in Sussex county. As a local you just can't go to any restaurant and get good service. The prices are high and you feel like you're being shuffled in and out. Perhaps in October the fine dining experience will be better but for now I'm done with these high price restaurants. read more

I ordered takeout around 9:10pm and arrived to pick it up around 9:45pm and they already locked every single door and the workers were sitting inside at a booth. Fyi they close at 10pm. Called twice and nobody picked up the phone. read more

Please help me understand why your employees have become the most miserable people to be around. This place used to be inviting and somewhere along the lines. It turned into crap. The food is decent if you can ever get it right, but normally they make it wrong. Then, when you ask them to fix it, they get an attitude with you roll their eyes and walk away. When I say thank you to somebody for giving me something, I expect them to say you're welcome and when I tell them to have a good night. I expect them to tell me to have a good night too. You all should really do some clean up of your employees... Specifically your blonde hostess working tonight, 11/11/24 at 7:45 pm.... read more

Went here tonight for my mom's bday. The portions of food were good, the drinks at the bar were great and the food taste was very delicious. The portions were big so I split with my dad and they did charge a $7 splitting fee but it was worth it because we got our own salad, soup and large portion even with us splitting. However, we went in at around 5:15 and told our table would take only 30 minutes and it ended up taking almost 2 hours by the time we got seated and with food. We tried to call and make a reservation before hand and they said the soonest they had was 8:30 but that walk ins were welcomed, just wished the wait time was more reliable because we could have gone somewhere else or ordered a started at the bar. We also had to ask for salt and pepper a few times before we received it. Overall good food but definitely make a reservation beforehand. read more

Really wanted to go back to Suketami, as it was great first time but my bf wanted to try something different. As soon as we walked in I SMELLED LIKE DIRTY WATER THRU OUT. NOT a good sign. ONE couple was there. We sat in booth, tables looked marked up. American waitress cane over, took drink order. Glass of Wine cheap tasting. I ordered Ribeye steak what comes with rice, soup, salad. Joke on soup was clear water with an old mushroom floating in it. My bf had none only one scallion. Salad was old iceberg in teeny cup, watery dressing, no taste.Red flags already adding up. Ok, our meals came out, immediately I said to waitress why was my meat cut up? Oh that's how they do it. I took one bite meat was chewy, hard, not rare as I wanted. Ridiculous. I tried to eat but called her back. I told her it was cold, shouldn't be cut up..I'm not a child & you should never cut up a steak unless it's being habachied. Ok, well make it over. I said DO NOT CUT UP. Brought me back, two pieces not cut, done correctly. What I submitted & told my bf they gave me precooked Habachi meat. If u look at all the photos online.. they give people cut up meat.., clearly old meat just reheated. Rip off for $32.00. Never shall return.. read more

My go to place! Whether eating at the haba chi or regular table the food is GOOD!! Also the sushi is not only the freshest, but the presentation...AWESOME!!! Oh...and if it's your birthday you get 2 great presents...Not telling. read more

Update: went back again and got the sushi sampler and rainbow roll and the quality of the fish was amazing! Our waitress was just as nice as the last one. Very peaceful and not too busy at 3 PM. read more

We had the pleasure of dining here with friends from abroad, enjoying the cuisine, but unfortunately, the service did not meet expectations. Our group of five shared a large dish, but we had to request side plates twice and additional soy sauce and finally got them from the bar when they didn't arrive. Locating the waitress proved challenging, and our table's dirty dishes weren't ever cleared. When we finally got the bill we were informed it included an 18% service charge, which is dispersed among staff, and a suggestion to consider adding a more substantial tip was requested by the waitress. Seriously very unprofessional! read more

This food here was extremely delicious. I absolutely love sushi, and the quality of the sushi here exceeded my expectations. Even though we're witnessing unprecedented inflation (thank you Biden) the price point was fair. In addition to sushi I ordered the Fuji Steak and Shrimp. The steak melted in my mouth, and portion sizes were larger than I expected. . I'll be back next time I'm in Dewey. read more

Came here for a farewell celebration since my family and I are going back to Massachusetts after a few days. I'm in my teens so when we got there it was visible I was the youngest. Everything went smoothly and the chief was making jokes that pleased our party. But then his jokes got repetitive, he would every now and then throw the food messily on my plate but then wouldn't clean it up. I thought it was part of the joke until he just kept throwing and throwing. You could see visibly on my face I was not amused. He noticed my annoyed face and did an unneeded petty apology when he could've done was just stop, taking my 2 second attitude to heart. He proceeded to cook and serve the food rudely and practically ruined the dinner for everyone. I'm sorry, but we paid for FOOD not a comedy special Amy Schumer. Happy New years ig. read more

Everything was great. The food was excellent and portion sizes were good. I had the steak and chicken

Staff is so nice and we love their sushi! Best sushi on the beach. We love stopping in with the family every time we're in town

Beautiful building, option to sit at hibachi tables makes it fun for families or groups. The sushi is bomb.

I was a little hesitant to order from Tokyo given all the mixed reviews about their sushi, but me and my boyfriend actually had a very good experience ordering from here! We called first to make sure there was no possible nut contamination for the sushi (due to a severe allergy), and Tokyo verified that they don't use nuts or peanut oil in any of their dishes at this time. I had the Summer Roll which was totally delicious. The lobster salad on top tasted fresh and the shrimp tempura had a nice crunch to it -- very flavorful overall. I also had the Salmon Roll and that too had some fresh salmon. As for my boyfriend, he loved his Philadelphia Rolls and California Roll. We ordered around 6pm on a Thursday and it was ready for pickup in 20 minutes. We would happily order from here again. read more

AVOID this place at all cost!!! By far the worst sushi I've ever had. Fried calamari and rolls were very stale and hard to chew, the fish in maki were very dry and tasteless. Went in very hungry so we ordered a lot, but we ended up throwing away most of them. Maybe it could have been a bad night for them, but I'm not going back to find out. read more

For Mother's Day I told my son I wanted a steak and he took me here. We ordered the butterfly roll for appetizers and it was absolutely delicious and became a favorite - for which I will return. We actually got there for happy hour (not the plan, just how it went down). I ordered a filet - medium rare. What I got was chopped up hibachi steak. It was good but certainly not what I expected. Can you cook a steak medium rare when it's in little chunks like stirfry? Now, this could be my fault because I didn't realize what I was ordering at a Japanese steakhouse BUT for $32 I thought I would get a one piece of meat type filet mignon. I ordered the filet with scallops which were cooked perfectly. With everything on the plate covered in teriyaki sauce, it was not a rare dining experience. The bananas tempura for dessert was really good, as was the espresso martini. So the dinner was not a total loss and I will know better next time. But I do think it'll be happy hour when I return for my butterfly roll and espresso martini !!! read more

Your average hibachi place, with decent drinks, friendly staff, and fun ambiance. Stopped here on the last night of a week-long vacation at the beach with friends and all our kids -- there aren't a lot of restaurants that will appreciate a large group of kids (ages ranging from 1 to 10 years), but the folks here didn't flinch, and all of our families had a wonderful time. The food, sauces, and drinks were exactly as you'd expect -- my steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the portions were way more than any person could possibly eat on their own. We all enjoyed the grilling show, and our chef was incredibly good with the kids. There was a little bit of a wait when we first arrived (we hadn't placed a reservation, and it was a Saturday night, so it was only to be expected), but there are koi ponds and seating around the back (or maybe it's considered the side?) of the building. It's a little loud out there since you get all the noise from the highway that's right outside, but it allowed us to keep our gang entertained while we waited. Little things like that make a huge difference. read more

Went there tonight for my son-in-law's birthday. Chef was great as usual but our food was mediocre. Service was ok but the real kicker was when we got the bill they had put an 18% service charge on it & it was not considered the tip according to waite. I know some restaurants put a tip on the bill if u have 6 or more people. I questioned the waiter & he said it was not a tip add on. We will not be going back!! I wonder how many of the many people there even noticed the service charge added at the end?? read more

Bunch of crybabies reviewing this place. If you want quiet, discrete service and atmosphere because you are "sensory", go elsewhere. This place is celebratory. If you have a seafood allergy, stay home. They serve shellfish! Imagine that! That said, my friends and I had a very nice experience last night. We were seated quickly at a hibachi table, put in our drink orders, and settled in to peruse the large menu, which had pics of the various sushi offerngs. My buddy and I ordered sake, the ladies preferred wine. Chef comes to the table, greets everyone, does his spatula flipping schtick, and gets to work. According to the ladies, their steak, scallops, and lobster were delicious. My buddy and I split the "love boat", loaded with sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri sushi, all fresh and delicious. There as a LOT of fish on that plate, and despite one of the ladies stealing a few pieces, we had difficulty finishing. It's a splurge evening, not inexpensive, but for a special occasion, worth it. Dinner and a show! I'll be back for sure. read more

I came in here tonight with my family including my uncle who has a SEVERE shellfish allergy. When making the reservation, we made it clear about the allergy. The hostess, waitress, and chef were directly told and made aware of his allergy as well. We ordered sushi rolls, one being the "Green Dragon Roll" which is supposed to have eel and masago, and no shellfish. When we received our food and began eating, we noticed a shrimp tail sticking out of the end of one of the rolls. My uncle had one piece of the roll, and we immediately called over the waitress when we noticed the shrimp in the roll. After telling the waitress repeatedly about the deadly allergy, she had mistakenly served us the "Dragon Roll", which had shrimp in it. While we appreciated that she took responsibility for the mistake and was very apologetic, we didn't appreciate mending the situation by getting my aunt a martini on the house. For the rest of the meal, she was wielding an epipen in fear of a deadly allergic reaction. On top of this, when receiving the bill, they had still charged my uncle for the shrimp roll that could have killed him. The managers should have know better and did not do their part to rectified the situation. DO NOT come here if you have a SEVERE allergy, because they have no protocol or steps of action if a deadly mistake like this happens again. If we have to go to the hospital tonight Tokyo Steakhouse will be paying for more than just a martini. read more

This is a staple for our family when we are in Lewes. It's classic hibachi with the flaming onion train, shrimp toss, etc and my kids have loved it since they were in high chairs. Now as teenagers they still love it and we all appreciate the quality of the food. We all had the filet mignon and it was delicious. Didn't get sushi this visit but have in the past and it's really good. read more

Food was good, service was okay. Staff is a little too friendly. Our waiter was a little passive aggressive but overall nice. Sushi was good we got the Mt. Fuji roll.

I recommend but its not a traditional Japanese restaurant experience. update: The waiter ended up being kinder as the day went on, got a 25 dollar tip. read more

We frequent this type of steakhouse, so have a frame of reference. The service was slow. There were about 6 birthday celebrations around us and they bang a gong very loudly. If you are not paying attention, it can scare you. It gets pretty annoying after a whole. The chef next to us was way too loud with all the animated "show" stuff. As for the food, the salad dressing was bland, the soup was too salty to eat and what they call mixed vegetables left a lot to be desired. The only good part was that the flavor of my shrimp and steak was good. We won't be back. read more

Review Tokyo Steak House 17906 Coastal Hwy, Lewes, DE 19958 https://tokyosteakhouse.info/menu On the day before Easter I treated my family to a meal at the Tokyo Steak House down on Route 1. The big thing about this Japanese/Chinese restaurant is that a party can request a hibachi seating. If so, all are seated around, well, a hibachi. After orders are taken and drinks obtained, a chef comes to the hibachi to cook for our hunger and our entertainment. The food is pretty good but it's not cheap. A few of our party members ordered sushi appetizers and they tasted great. Then there is the famous grilled meal. There are four choices at each meal category.....often salmon, shrimp, some kind of meat and chicken. You can order one, two, three or all four of the categories. The price goes up a dollar or so the more choices you take but all of the choices are reduced a little bit in quantity. The Chef puts on a pretty good show, frying a pile of vegetables on this side, a pile of rice on this side. The stars of the meal are put in the middle where the Chef scoops, cuts and tosses pieces of ribeye steak or your meat selection, shrimp if they were chosen. All of the proteins chosen by the group are fried and prepared in the middle of the hibachi to a great flourish by the Chef. At one point he even tosses a shrimp into his chef's hat. The Chef ends his cooking "show" by indicating that one person, who he points to, should be prepared to catch the shrimp he will toss into the air their way. My granddaughter's boyfriend did catch a shrimp in his mouth. Everyone else who had a shrimp toss their way missed. Yours truly indicated to the Chef that I did not want shrimp flying all around my face so he put the shrimp, already cooked, gently on my plate. This restaurant has been a favorite group dining spot since we moved to Sussex county almost 20 years ago. I took my meal home and got two more meals out of it, complete with friend vegetables, rice and protein. But be aware, this is not cheap. All together our meal, including four appetizers, one drink for me, four Mountain Dews, and four of the categorized meal....add tip, and it was over $175.00. We do this on very special occasions Like Comment Share 0 Comments Active Write a comment... Active read more
