Gave Mom a few options: Japanese, Vietnamese or Italian food for lunch?…read more She went for Japanese. "I haven't had Japanese curry in awhile." Great choice, because like her, been a minute since I've had that, too! We were about 20 minutes away, so I jumped on the Yelp waitlist (just to make sure we were seated ASAP since we were hangry!) Luckily, plenty of tables open when we arrived so we were seated immediately. I got the chance to look at their menu beforehand so I had an idea what I wanted. Mom went for what her palate desired. While waiting, we noticed their "Buy a beer, sake or soju, get a secret menu item for free" sign. (Mondays to Thursdays only.) We were curious, so, why not. It's a nicely decorated restaurant, almost as if we were transported somewhere in Japan for a meal. (I've never been, but I imagine the decor is close.) Didn't notice any clutter or mess. Floors were clean. Always a plus! CORN TEMPURA: This was the secret menu that went with the beer. Honestly, I am not a fan of corn kernels, but tried it anyway. Flavor of the batter was tasty enough to overcome that corn essence, so it worked out well for me. (I'm sure corn fans would disagree.) I only took two small bites, though, because the corn flavor started coming through more than I preferred. But not bad for a freebie! SOFT SHELLED CRABS: Deep fried, a must-have whenever I see it on the menu. Made to order HOT, batter was thin enough so it doesn't overwhelm the crabs' overall flavor. This was PERFECT. It didn't need the dip, it was great as it was. Great crisp, great flavor, RECOMMENDING. SPANISH MACKEREL: Also a must-have whenever I see it on a Japanese restaurant's menu. Good salt and vinegar level with a very tiny hint of sweet. Fish was fresh. Another good starter and palate cleanser. BENTO BOX LUNCH: I chose the pork cutlet with 2 sides: calamari and shrimp with vegetable tempura and although it already came with katsu sauce, I too, asked for a side of curry sauce (for a teenee upcharge.) I was a bit overwhelmed when my box arrived since I didn't account for the soup and the salad that went with it - it was a ton of food! Salad was fresh with good amount of Japanese dressing. Miso soup was hot and seasoned perfect. Tempura shrimp (2pcs) was a bit undercooked, but not raw, still delicious. Tempura vege was perfect. Rice was warm and fluffy. They gave a generous amount of calamari that I thought they messed up and gave us a full order vs. a side. Not only is it a lot, it's delicious. Good crisp, good chew, great flavor. I loved loved LOVED my bento box! Mom also enjoyed her brewski and her pork cutlet curry. As mentioned earlier, they are generous with their servings so we had plenty of leftovers for a second meal. (I ended up sharing it with Hubbers who enjoyed it as well.) FOOD: 5. We liked everything. SERVICE: 5. Jasmine was perfect - friendly, service with a smile, she was available when needed even after it got crowded. She was efficient with her time and made sure she gave every table the attention it required and deserved. VALUE: 5. Quality and quantity. More than worth it! PARKING: Private lot shared with others. Not an issue when we came through on mid-week lunch rush. OVERALL: 5. They are popular - most of the tables were occupied by the time we left. Good for them. Hubbers liked our takeout so much and said I should take him there sometime. The answer to that, of course, is a definite: YES. Looking forward to that second visit.

Like this place!…read more Service is normal, sushi is good, environment is great. Umami roll - very good. Mango Night Roll - even better! I've gotten this a few times and love it. Pico and mango on top is a great flavor. Comes w miso soup and salad which makes it a great deal. The environment is decorated adorably, there met the Japanese theme. Price is fair compared to other sushi restaurants in the area, not over $20 mostly which I appreciate. Will go back !

This is my 4th time coming here. They definitely do not disappoint…read more I had both the Double Hamachi & a Zen Sashimi Rolls. Both are fresh as i prefer them to tempura . Also had their salmon and ahi tuna sushi. Very good. Their spicy garlic edamame is a tasty appetizer. Always ice cold mugs for a mouth watering Sapporo. I highly recommend as this sushi spot was recommended to me. Service was great. Nice ambiance .

I like that this place has an ipad to order bc I feel like it's quicker and easier to order multiple smaller rounds instead of feeling pressured to order 3 large rounds. Most of the items were unlimited but the carpaccio and a couple other items were a max of 2 orders per person if I remember correctly Overall I thought the quality was pretty good. The seared giant scallops were probably my favorite so I wish those were unlimited. Good experience overall and I would come back

Cozy spot for incredible sushi!…read more I tried Golden Eye Snapper for the first time ever, and it might be one of my new favorites! The lightly torched skin gives each bite a nice, firm textural contrast against the delicate, tender meat. The yuzu garnish puts it over the top! My other favorites are Striped Jack and Hokkaido Scallop. My friend, who doesn't really like eating fish, loves their Double S Roll (tempura shrimp & fried scallops.) The service has been mostly wonderful. We did run into one hiccup when we found some hard, jagged black chunks in the Double S Roll that we couldn't eat. They looked and felt like metal or charred debris, but the staff insisted they were black sesame seeds. Otherwise, the staff has been upbeat and super friendly. If you're looking for your next unforgettable bite, do yourself a favor and order the Golden Eye Snapper!

With the skilled cut and flavor combination, it tastes like straight up cold butter which felt illegal. Not fishy at all. Just butter wow Salmon**- simple and delicious. We liked the fresh better than seared today. Scallops*- fresh and sweet! From Japan Seared Black cod*- so soft and buttery. Tastes special. Yum! Side note: their spicy mayo is really good. I'm getting sesame oil notes on it which really amps up the flavor! Seared Mackerel - not as buttery as the jack variety, firm and fishier Red Shrimp - fresh and tasty, but the texture was firm, maybe I'll try a different variety next time Matcha Mont Blanc - Nutty, creamy, and mild, much more chestnut taste than matcha. It's good! Service is nice, and even if there's a wait, it's nice to put your number and shop around.

It really allows you to try a lot of different things because it's small bites for the most part. I tried a few rolls and had some hot sake, DELICIOUS! I also saw that this spot was ranked one of Yelp's top places to eat and I see why!! I'm so happy I got to try them out while I was in the city. Their menu had lots of great options and made it hard for me to settle down on my options but I liked almost everything I had. The only exception was the salmon skin roll, which I usually love. It was a bit too salty and savory for me. It was the only thing I didn't finish. I also love that this place is on top of a grocery store. So much to see here!

The food quality is definitely no longer the same however This visit was very different. August 12th my family and I were celebrating my mother's birthday. We received the best service we have EVER received at the location by a young gentleman names Samaual. He was very kind, kept up with anything we may have needed. Didn't mind if requested to add or remove from our order. The only reason we removed was one misunderstanding among us and the other wasn't brought out with the rest of the food so we had to cancel. He was very understanding of our requests and didnt mind one bit of what was asked of him. He asked every chance he had if we needed anything, how we were doing, if our food was good. Outstanding service. The best experience we have had with any server at Tokyo Garden. So when you go to Tokyo Garden, ask for Samuel, you wont be disappointed. Busses Arturo is great. He has been working at Tokyo Garden for years. He helps give customers a great experience, never disappoints.
