    This was my first time here and I had a good experience. We were quickly seated at 5:30 and got to looking at the large menu. We got our drinks and then were reminded that the happy hour ends at 6:00 so we got a good deal on our appetizers and sushi. I tried the edamame and pork potstickers, they were the usual. I then ordered the California rolls and crunchy crab rolls, both were very good. I also tried the rock and roll rolls and those were very good too! Our server was helpful and the restaurant is large enough to hold quite a few guests. The lighting is dim, but feels more upscale that way. Definitely hope to be back!

    Our experience tonight was delicious and savory! We stared with drinks, a gin Bombay Sapphire Berry Mojhito and a Bud Light with a chilled glass. Our pre-starter was the fresh side salad with ginger dressing and a savory hot Miso soup. We usually we get sushi rolls or nigre but tonight we opted for Pad Thai with pork and my husband got the Gyudon dishe for dinner. Excellent service too.

    We went here because we LOVE sushi and it was within walking distance of our hotel. Our first meal there, I would've made a 3.5-4 rating, we sat outside to eat because...well, Covid. The sushi was kind of average. Not sure if it was really the sushi or just the chill in the air combined with being 10' from a street. For some reason this never bothers me in NYC, but in Iowa...it did. So, we decided to take our life and put it in other hands and return to eat indoors. What a different opinion! Was it because I was warm & not inhaling exhaust? Or that what we ordered this time was AMAZING?!! I would tell you that our food the 2nd time started with an appetizer of kimchee topped hamachi. Unbelievable!! So clean and fresh with a subtle bite. I could eat this every single day of my life - unfortunately, I do t LIVE in Iowa. There's the rub... We ordered 2 more rolls that we really enjoyed - but the app made the meal! Well, like I said, cars outside are within a stones throw so parking is like being a Rock Star!! Bathroom was extremely clean - in fact, when I walked in someone was cleaning it again. Last but never least, the service was great and I could say it's because they are at 50% seating - but, I think it's just like that. I asked my daughter that goes there regularly and she said the service has always been great for them. Remember to tip more than usual during this time of crisis. It's been especially tough on the service industry!

    Had a great later evening dinner with a friend here at Tokyo Steakhouse last week…read more.. I'd never been, but my friend had eaten here a few times before with her sons... From what I can tell it's similar to Ohana's, but more like Taki... Tokyo Steakhouse offers a tableside menu without having to sit around the grill. Definitely the way to go for more of a quiet dinner. We were greeted and seated right away when we walked in. The booth was comfortable. Our server Danish stopped by within a minute or two and introduced himself. He took our drink order and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. My companion ordered the steak and shrimp hibachi dinner that came with soup and a salad. I ordered the firecracker roll and shrimp tempura roll off the sushi menu. I really enjoyed both rolls and was able to try a little of the steak and shrimp hibachi plate. It was really good too. Make sure you order a side of the yum yum sauce for the fried rice! Danish did a great job throughout our visit. He was polite and personable and our drinks never hit empty. The food was all on point! A great first experience at Tokyo Steakhouse!

    My first time here. I called ahead earlier in the week and put in a reservation for 4 for the…read morehibachi. We arrived on time and waited a little bit for the rest of our party. I got a little nervous as they had us wait for the rest of our party and group after group came in and went back to hibachi tables. The restaurant dining wasn't packed for this time of the day and week. My friend is the one who said they had been here before and never had a problem and enjoyed it. When they arrived, the host took us right back and seated us, no problem. The hibachi part in the back was bigger than it appears. There are three big cooking areas and get ready for a show! H - Hot grills at right at your table. Food show and flipped into your mouth! I - I got to take a shot of sake from a squeeze bottle. B - Bet you don't leave hungry -the serving sizes are huge. A - Affordable for the entire family. C - Children welcome and entertained at the grill. Lots of laughter. H - Had the scallops and chicken but I could have eaten a tons of the scallops. I - I will be back, this is a fun date night spot.
