I'm not sure why all the low star reviews. I've been eating here for over 7 years now. Every time it feels the same, and I mean that in the best possible way. I recently went for lunch hour on a Saturday alone. It's the best place to chat with locals and eat some fresh hibachi. Other side of the restaurant is regular seating and I don't know anything about that side. I ONLY do the fire hibachi grill. The cooks are entertaining and the lines can get long. What I recently tried was fresh garlic in the rice, most chefs wouldn't do it because you have to have the whole table agree to modifications which can be hard because sometimes strangers sit on your grill. But let me tell you the fresh garlic was the best thing ever. Especially with the shrimp. Never had any negative experiences here personally. Been here with big parties and solo dolo. Some of the sushi here isn't terrible either but I really just recommend the hibachi with two sides of rice with the bacon. Promise you will enjoy. read more

I have eaten at this restaurant and ordered to go for years and last night I ordered the house bacon rice and it came with very few vegetables. I've never had such sparse vegetables in my rice before. I called the manager and told her and her best solution was for me to drive back over and pick up a cup of vegetables from them to add to my rice. I did not and am looking for rice elsewhere. That is so offensive that she would not apologize or compensate me for the rice. I'm done with them and it's too bad. They are usually a good quality restaurant. Charlotte read more

This is my Aunt Joy's favorite restaurant ! She comes here at least twice a week. So on her birthday I took her there. Food was really good. I got the shrimp and scallops and she just had the shrimp. There was a beautiful family sitting with us and everyone sang happy birthday ! Would I go back? For my Aunt Joy...definitely read more

Dined on a Tuesday night and oh boy, the service was extremely different from our previous experiences. I was shocked at the difference. We were immediately seated with no wait time. The chef arrived after just a few minutes and started cooking and cooked all our orders (we were a party of 8) simultaneously that time the rice and meats were cooked was not too far away. Luckily, we got a better chef this time and he knew what he was doing and did it properly too. He also did a couple of tricks while cooking which entertained us (and we had some guests with us too). The food as always was great. I ordered seafood combo and a side of chicken and noodles and enjoyed my dinner. I highly recommend dining here when they're not busy. read more

Went here on a Monday; it was fairly busy and packed when we left. We were told our table would be ready around 5:00 PM, but we sat down around 5:15 PM. Our chef was very kind and chatted to us. The filet mignon was incredible, and now I'm always craving it. You definitely get lots of food and meat. My sushi was good. I asked for no cream cheese in my roll, but it was still there (I was too hungry to mind). Overall, I really enjoyed the restaurant! read more

The service here is consistently excellent. I love the burst of aroma from the teppanyaki as you walk in--it instantly sets the tone for an enjoyable dining experience. The sizzling sounds and rising smoke from the grill top combined with the clatter of the utensils create a warm and inviting atmosphere as the chefs cook in front of you. The bacon fried rice soaked in the bacon was flavorful and the new York strip paired with their two sauces were cooked perfectly. Beef Sashimi with their slightly sweet tangy soy based sauce is a must have. Tender, medium rare and smoky taste. The spider roll was proportionate and tasteful. read more

We really contemplated coming here because of the terrible reviews, but our two other go to places were closed and we had a birthday to celebrate. Anyways.... here was my takeaway. Cleanliness was not there...the restaurant really is not super clean, but I kept telling myself that the grill would cook off anything that could potentially be icky. Food...the bacon fried rice was delicious. Steak was average and the veggies were mainly onion with a couple zucchini, mushroom and sprouts sprinkled in. The sauces is where I got confused. The "yum yum" sauces was spicy and thick but mainly tasted like mayo. The typical "ginger" sauce was not ginger...it was teriyaki sauce and that was not a vibe. The soup was delicious and the salad dressing had good flavor at the beginning but it was overall just too salty. Teppanyaki is typically a "show" but here it is not. Our chef poured the eggs out of a bowl where they were pre cracked. No onion volcano, no beating rice heart, no huge fire opening, no boy peeing to put the fire out, no throwing chunks of raw veggies into people's mouths....NOTHING. This was a first. Would we give this place another chance? Maybe if the other two are closed again but it's not a first choice. read more

I enjoyed the tempura veggies. The bacon fried rice... SALT BOMB. It was so dang salty that it was barely edible. And it's crazy that I am saying that because I love salt! But the salt level on that bacon fried rice was atrocious. read more

I wouldn't go back that's for sure! Arrived an hour before close. Service took quite an awhile. After About 3 minutes of eating our food we were offered Togo boxes and given our check. Server let us know we can go up front to pay. Food was good but experience was terrible. read more

Meet my friend for early dinner to beat the busy crowd. Beautiful decor. Waiter was friendly and prompt. We order the japanese style dinner. My friend ordered the chicken and shrimp I had the chicken and scallops (could have been cooked more). No worries because so much add on i took most home to recook the scallops anyway lol. Dinner came with soup, salad and bacon stir fry rice w all the fixings. Sooooo good. The chef was fantastic. He didn't do a fancy show but that's ok. Price was under $30. read more

We celebrated our cousins birthday here and the food was delicious. The aesthetics could have been better, perhaps a lighter feel to it. Just felt dark and dated. The Chef was just there to cook the food, wasn't any enthusiasm or entertainment just someone standing there preparing your meal on the hibachi. The bacon fried rice was different but tasty at the same time. The salad was delicious and the soup was surprisingly tasty as well. The teriyaki sauce was the best! I would definitely recommend eating here if you like Hibachi dining. Last but not least the bar was not stingy with the liquor, always a plus. read more

I said 3 years ago that I would probably never come back to this Tokyo Steakhouse based off of my last review, but I am pleasantly surprised to say that we came back last night and had a great time. My Aunt from Alaska was in town for the holidays and wanted to come check this place out. When we arrived around 4:30pm, it was already pretty busy - we waited about 20 minutes before they seated us. The inside seemed fairly clean, I saw the tables being sprayed and wiped down, but the chairs seemed sticky and I did not check out the bathroom. All 8 of us ordered the dinner combos, I went with the Chicken and New York. We were all big fans of the Bacon Fried Rice and I thought my steak was cooked pretty well, but my chicken was a tad dry. Everyone seemed to like their food and our Chef was great - he was very friendly, made jokes and interacted with our whole party including my 8 year old daughter. Our server who brought us our drinks, salads and soups was also very friendly! Based off of last night, I'd say we'll definitely be coming back again now! Don't forget to tip your Chef! read more

Over the years, I've been here a few times and enjoyed every single time. Bacon fried rice? Need I say more? This restaurant offers teppan yaki (hibachi), traditional dining, and sushi. I've been for dinner and enjoyed sushi. There's been times when I've gone here with a big party, a double date night or even just my husband and I for a date night. During each visit, we got seated in a reasonable amount of time, the employees were really nice, and the chef made the food fresh to order. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot and the surrounding parking lot. Next time you find yourself out in Natomas, consider coming here for lunch or dinner. read more

This place has gone downhill, sushi roll was mushy. Fried rice was still good. However, the workers, customers ... not my crowd. Get some class and personality, people! Some look like they just rolled outta bed and couldn't manage a smile to save their lives! Plus, the place looks dingy and old, like an old dive bar. What a difference in 2 years! So depressing! No thnx! Pass!! read more

The food is awesome! I usually get the Beef Yakisoba and a Togo plate order Tokyo mein. When you see the portions while they cooked you'd think uh...this isn't enough but then you eat it and it's surprisingly filling. I also love the miso soup and vegetables. The service is good and the servers come check on you . The ambiance is good, and the chefs are entertaining. The only thing I don't love is when they seat you, sometimes they wait to make youre food so they can serve multiple people at once/they cram you with I the people to make more food at once. read more

I came in here for a birthday party with a group of 10 they were able to accommodate me. The food was great. Our host was kalvin.

TLDR: NASTY! I will NEVER go here again. Went with daughter. Daughter wanted marble soda. Ordered. Soda,although sealed was nasty like they retrieved it from rolling around in a dark grimy space. Wish I got pictures. Asked for something else. Got one without grime. Now I'm on alert. Food was brought to me. All our chicken, beef and steak was on the lowest level of the cart next to my feet. The sauce bottles yall! Look at them! I'm done will never eat there ever again! You shouldn't either read more

One of the few hibachi places in Sacramento that does well and does it right. You can find it in the Natomas area off of Truxel Rd. The place is secluded in its own section in the back and the decor is a bit dim. More so that you can enjoy more intimate dining and entertainment from the chef cooking the entrees in front of you. Unfortunately this place got in trouble for some accident involving the onion volcano, so if that's what you're expecting, you'll be disappointed at knowing they don't do that here. The food here is delicious, heavily flavored in seasonings and the amount of butter they put on, you know your lips will be glossy. Chefs are give and take on cooking, but if you ever get here, ask for Wally! He's been around for awhile and will make sure to cook and prep your dishes to perfection! read more

Came here for birthday . I thought It was supposed to be " a show" of fire , entertainment... like all the others we went before but NOTHING but smoke. It was big DISAPPOINTMENT!! The food was too much of spices, salt, specially pepper. We have kids with us , he didn't bother to ask about the pepper. It was even too spicy and salty for me as adult. We were so disappointed! read more

I've been coming to Tokyo Steak House for over 10 years now. The experience can be hit or miss depending on the chef, but we keep returning because it's the only Benihana-style restaurant in Natomas. If you get a great chef, consider yourself lucky! Tonight, we had Eddy--10/10 recommend--but unfortunately, you can't request a specific chef. The wait time typically ranges from 10 to 30 minutes to get seated. The lunch specials offer the best value, but dinner is a great option for family gatherings and celebrations. The ambiance is pretty basic--don't expect traditional Japanese décor, koi ponds, or intricate details. It's more of a simple, American-style setting, which suits my taste just fine. Drinks are about an 8/10--stick with bottled beer since they don't offer custom cocktails. Service for drinks can be slow, so I recommend ordering appetizers at the same time. Otherwise, you might end up getting them when your main course is already being cooked. One big plus is the easy parking--there's plenty of space, so you don't have to worry about finding a spot. The restaurant is also ADA-friendly, making it accessible for everyone. Restrooms are clean and well-maintained, which is always a good sign. Expect to spend at least 45 minutes to 1.5 hours here. Despite its minor flaws, Tokyo Steak House remains one of my favorites! read more

My hubby introduced me to Tokyo Steakhouse a few years ago. We have never tried the hibachi side of the restaurant but we enjoy coming for their regular menu. Their tempura is light and perfectly fried and the filet mignon is always cooked just how we like it. The ambiance is quiet and casual. The service is always friendly. We will definitely be back. Anything on the menu you recommend? read more

Loved this place! The flavors were insane. I loved that their fried rice naturally comes with bacon and that they give everyone a couple shrimps. I got the chicken and steak and everything was just seasoned so well and huge portions! I had to take more than half home. They could've done some kind of a show while cooking like they sometimes at Hibachi places but overall great service and great vibes. I also ordered the Hai roll! So yummy and worth the price. read more

I hadn't been here since before Covid and I was excited to go back for a birthday dinner. They were great before, and that's what I was expecting. Well, it's not what I got. The service was great, and the wait was long, which is expected. We didn't get a show like the ones they had before even though we had a large party. The food was not consistent. The bacon rice had way too much seasoning, the lobster had a very off taste, so I didn't eat it, as to not get sick. The sodas also had an off taste like the fountain machine hadn't been cleaned properly. On the other hand, the soup, veggies, shrimp and steaks were great! The steaks were so good, they just melted in your mouth. The place also needed a good cleaning, the restrooms were dirty and the restaurant floors were all quite slippery. I hope this place figures things out, because they really used to be so good! read more

Tokyo Steakhouse - Bacon fried rice, veggies and steak - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

I have 3 words for this place. BACON. FRIED. RICE. You know every hibachi style restaurant has options for rice but bacon???? Chefs kiss!!! Of course the rest of the meal is amazing as well including the steak, salad, and drinks. Only thing I hate a these places is that the tables aren't intimate. If you're going as a couple and it's dinner time, you will definitely be sitting next to other people. Oh and prepare to smell like food. Other than that great place! read more

In the interest of being entirely fair, teppanyaki restaurants have never really been my thing. They're definitely worth experiencing for anyone who has never been, and I've certainly enjoyed myself the times that I've gone, but it's not something I generally have the urge for. However, I have to admit I was a bit more open to checking out Tokyo Steakhouse (and not just because my gf really wanted to come here). Given how most of my teppanyaki experiences have been at Benihana, I was actually kind of curious to see what things are like at a non-chain teppanyaki restaurant! The verdict? Not all that different... As soon as I stepped inside Tokyo Steakhouse, the first thing that struck me was just how big this place is. The larger side of the restaurant offers a ton of teppanyaki tables and a bar with TV's while the other side is a little quieter with your typical, formal dining set up, like at most other restaurants. I'm not sure why you would want to sit on the latter side if you want the teppanyaki options, but it's definitely the route to go if you want their menu's other offerings, like their starters, bento-esque dishes, entrees, udon, and sushi rolls (which you can also get at their teppanyaki tables). Either way, there are plenty of options to go with depending on whatever you're in the mood for. -- POPCORN CHICKEN - Battered and Deep Fried Chicken Bites Served with Teriyaki and Spicy Sauce...$8.95 This was surprisingly decent. The batter was thin yet crispy and the chicken was moist, outside of a few pieces. The sauce was interesting, though I wish the Spicy Sauce (which was great) was separate instead of dolloped in a cup of teriyaki sauce. -- HOUSE GREEN SALAD Nothing special, but I'm not about to hold a salad against this place. The lettuce was fresh and the dressing was decent, though the consistency was really watery/thin (it would just drip off every bite of lettuce). -- MUSHROOM SOUP Although this was just as simple as the salad, this wasn't bad either. The soup needed some body to it (maybe some miso?), but the mushrooms were good. Plus, if I had to choose, I'd much rather get this than the salad. -- SCALLOP & CHICKEN TEPPANYAKI DINNER...$26.95 Not bad, though not amazing. The scallops were flavorful and plump, but I wish it came with more than six pieces (I love scallops). The chicken was decent as well, but it was doused with teriyaki sauce (as were the scallops and shrimp appetizer). As for the bacon fried rice, it was great, albeit a little salty (note on the vegetables below). -- NEW YORK STEAK TEPPANYAKI DINNER...$25.95 My gf got this (hence my non-beef order) and it was far better than both the chicken and the scallops. The beef was cooked exactly as requested, quite tender, and well seasoned. Would definitely stick with the beef. One thing that I noticed with each of the three meats we had, as well as the vegetables, was that everything felt pretty oily. It's possible that some of that may have actually been residual fat from the bacon that went into the fried rice, but, either way, I was still left with that greasy feeling coating my mouth as I ate. No bueno. As far as service goes, the workers are all pretty nice, from the hosts and servers to the chef who cooked our meal. However, with regards to the cooking portion of the experience, neither our chef nor the one at the neighboring table put on much of a "show" compared to the likes of Benihana (though, I see it in the photos on here). Personally, I was fine without it (I'd rather the food just be good), but it might be a disappointment for anyone out there who may want that showmanship (spatula twirls, onion volcanos, etc.). At the very least, it might make the prices feel more worthwhile. Otherwise, for me, coming here was more of a nice novelty to experience than an amazingly delicious meal. TWO AND A HALF STARS rounded up. read more

Their hibachi here is great. The food is very delicious and the price is very reasonable. They could improve their service though because each time I've been there, the servers have always been terrible. They'll let empty dishes, glasses, etc pile up on your table and since the hibachi tables are already pretty small, the lack of space becomes very frustrating. Their hibachi chefs are also pretty boring. They don't do funny shows like most places do. But these negative factors aren't a deal breaker for us because the food is always very delicious. read more

So, my husband and I have been wanting to try this place for a little while and yesterday was our chance. We were not the most satisfied with the food... The chef at the grill table seemed like he was pretty new and didn't even appear to know how to chop chicken properly for the teriyaki chicken. It was more like he hacked it up... He over seasoned it with garlic powder and the fried rice was mushy and over seasoned. There was no reason to use that much soy sauce! Also, the vegetable selection was very cheap and not that great... They don't even use broccoli or carrots in their vegetables. I've never seen beans sprouts used at a hibachi. And on top of that, he accidentally used spicy mayonnaise on my husband's teriyaki chicken instead of teriyaki sauce... The only things that were really good from there were the tempura and the Gyoza. The prices are a bit lower than many other hibachi places, and it's probably because the quality of food they use is not that great. I wanted to try the sushi, but if they can't get fried rice right, there's no way I'm eating sushi in this place. On the upside, the ladies that they sat us with at the table were very nice! If they had sucked, we probably would've gotten up and left... Don't waste your money at this place unless you have no taste buds... read more

I love this place. Drinks are very strong food is great. I just can for the sushi this time and drinks and left more than satisfied. The yellow tail is so fresh, definitely recommended. You can sit on the restaurant side or the hibachi side which I like. The service is always fast but I suggest making a reservation for better seating especially for hibachi. read more

We ordered two pick up orders of the fried rice. At almost $15 for one, I expected the two boxes to be filled up a bit more. We usually order fried rice from other take outs, and I'm comparing this to every other place. We ordered a spicy sauce and Teri sauce. I'm not impressed. Everything's getting more expensive- and this isn't it. read more

Came here for my wife's birthday because this place is consistently good. Not today. We came a couple minutes after 3:30 just missed the lunch special that is on me. We had a party of three and no one else was at our table. Our chef did not perform any tricks. No choo choo train onion. No catching shrimp in hat. No spinning spatula. No performance at all. That is why people come here. I give this place a rating of 2 because the food was decent. read more

Chef was trying to be funny but his fire huge flame act was far too grand for comfort. 4 of us ordered shrimp & NY steak combo meals and 4 ordered Fillet Mignon and shrimp. Strongly recommend the Fillet over the NY. The NY was tough as shoe leather. I ordered it as medium but it was way overcooked, plus he cut it in squares rather than with the grain. The bacon fried rice was the bomb, but the grilled vegies were also severely overcooked and pretty much zuccini & onion mush. So IF i go there again i would order any beef as rare or its going to be overcooked. The ambiance is mildly overated and best suits increments of 8 or 16. read more

The food is really good , along with the cook staff ... The servers on the other hand are not attentive and do not listen well I had to go find them to get help with my food and get refills , at the end I asked for two empty to go Ramekins and they brought me 4 full of the mayo sauce instead of empty containers. I went to the register and asked for empty containers and they told me they charge for sauce even tho I was going to take the sauce from my plate . I said never mind I only want to pay for my food and gave back the sauces that they gave me initially that I did not want and she proceeded to slide my card TWO TIMES for two more sauces when I thought she was charging for the bill , even tho I said I did NOT want them and then charged my card again for two of the mayo sauces that I didn't even order. When I tried to bring it up for the 5th time they all just acted clueless like they didn't know what was going on so I Just paid for the rest of the bill and left smh read more

It's always fun to watch the chef cook. But I think this place is a bit overpriced with the quality of the food. Staffs are in general very friendly. By seeing their ingredient, which is lard instead of butter and use too many soy sauce / pepper, I'm worried about the health level of the dishes. Eventually I had to ask the staff to put less sauce on my food and he was willing to do it. We paid extra tips for the chef's hard work. But I guess for tepenyakki places like this there might be better choices elsewhere? read more
