It's hard sometimes to order food that's worth having left overs and also the kids menu options at most places just aren't that great, nor healthy. Or they just won't allow me to order from the kids menu. I went up to the counter and asked if it was possible to get a small order of one side and one meat. I, of course, explained the situation. They were super nice and told me that it was fine. One of the guys even offered me a ginger ale since it's good for the stomach lol and I thought that was super kind. Either way. The service was great, the food was fresh, and I was in and out in 2 min. I don't eat here often, but when I do, I'm never unsatisfied.

Mr. Tokyo is a solid choice if you're craving all you can eat sushi. Depending on when you go,…read morethere's usually a wait for a table, but it's hard to beat the value for the price. They have a decent selection of appetizers, nigiri, specialty rolls, and other items, so it's fun being able to try a little bit of everything instead of committing to just a few rolls. The sushi is good for an all you can eat restaurant. I've definitely had better quality sushi elsewhere, but considering how much food you get, I really can't complain. One thing I'd recommend is ordering everything you think you'll want in your first round. There's a 90-minute time limit, and once your initial order comes out, the server doesn't check back very often. They do charge $1 for every leftover piece, but if you're with a group, it's usually not hard to finish everything. If you're just looking to satisfy a sushi craving without breaking the bank, Mr. Tokyo is definitely worth checking out!

I finally tried it and so glad I did!…read more First and foremost, the place is clean which is extremely important to me. Items I tried: crunchy roll and steak noodles that includes veggies and also comes with a soup or salad. I choose salad with ginger dressing. Pros - clean establishment - sushi was absolutely delicious - my steak was cooked to perfection. They made it exactly how I asked for it - ginger dressing is absolutely delicious - large portions. Enough for at least 3 meals Cons - my friend and I were not greeted when we first came in. I noticed that most others said in their review that the staff greeted them and were very friendly. We were not greeted. In fact, I had to speak first. I pay attention to things like this. - white sauce is not good to me at all. It is not the usual white sauce flavor you get at other hibachi establishments. I am returning soon and will try a couple new things and update this review of necessary. UPDATE: I've gone back 2 more times. Excellent customer service, great sushi, the white sauce was a little bit better, but still not my thing...too thick...too sweet...too much mayo.

They always stay below the competition and they are CONSISTENT. Been going here for years and they do not change. Gotta appreciate that.

Nice crispy outside, hardly no filling (see image), and it had no crab, and tons of over-sweetened cream cheese. I love too, that they cook the steak to medium rare when asked. That's rare from hibachi places because the steak is typically small.

This is one of my favorite places to eat. We used to come here a lot when we lived in the area, and…read morehave recently made a couple of visits for nostalgia purposes. We were not disappointed! Amazing food. Like every single thing we get is just SO good. From the sushi, to the bang bang, to the sauces, to the rice, to the sesame chicken... you get the point. Even the Pepsi is excellent. The only downsides of this place is that it's a mostly serve yourself atmosphere after you get your meal. It would be nice if they included just a little one time check in to see if sauces or anything is needed. The floors are also SUPER slippery which is tough for disability flare ups. The service at the counter is friendly enough, and the options are great. I do wish we could have a little flexibility in the choose 3 meal plan, but I get it. Honestly the food is just so stellar it makes up for the rest and makes us keep coming back.

It's been a long long time since my last review of Shinko Grill, and really everything I wrote has…read moreexperienced some kind of change, so I wanted to update it for the post pandemic era. Since then, the half price sushi hours are no longer in effect, replaced with more standardized lunch specials and combinations. Three basic rolls for x, two specialty rolls for x, etc... as well as specials on hot food and the like. Due to this, I just haven't found myself there very often, and until my experience last week it had probably been two or three years honestly. We came during lunch hours on a Saturday. The lunch specials are good every day, not just weekdays, so that is a good thing. Ordering was simple enough, still done at the counter, given a number, go have a seat. Drinks still self-serve, no wait staff or the like which is totally fine. We ordered a general tso's chicken combination with fried rice and an egg roll, a basic two roll combination of sweet potato tempura and Ro Roll, and a two speciality roll combination that I honestly cannot remember the specific names of. There were also crab rangoons. My first area of dismay, even though we were eating there, everything came in to-go containers creating a ton of trash and waste. Plastic utensils, cups, everything. This was not the case in the past. I guess they've done the financial math that it's cheaper than dishwashing, but it's terrible for our environment. It would have been better if things even came combined on paper plates than this. As to the food, we were disappointed. Nothing other than the sushi and maybe soup appears to be made there, definitely true for all fried things. Rangoons came with plain duck sauce. Egg rolls the size of your index finger. Sushi wise, the sweet potato tempura roll was the best of the bunch. The fish tasted fine, nothing off putting there, but also nothing pleasant. The flavor combos just didn't make me want to eat more... and they were all crammed into to-go sushi trays with dry horseradish ("wasabi") It is not common for me to leave sushi pieces for the trash, but I did this time. Ultimately, the things that used to draw me here just didn't seem to be in place. But the price isn't bad at all. If you are more concerned with value, and don't mind some of the things I listed above, this place could work for you.

We stumbled in on a random Tuesday night and were promptly greeted by the host. Our group of six was seated in the middle of the restaurant, but there were too many other people there so it wasn't intimidating. Many people came in for takeout while we were there. We ordered the edamame, poke bowl with shrimp, seaweed salad, Philadelphia roll, and a side order of tempura shrimp. My littles enjoyed popping the edamame out of the pod and directly into their mouth. The restaurant has tables and chairs that can accommodate a date night or a large crowd. They only have a single stall bathroom in the restaurant. The service was attentive but not overbearing. I would definitely return the next time I'm in town and have a hankering for sushi.

The drive thru line was around the building the entire time we were there. First impressions are pretty good with an attractive, well designed space. The parking lot situation felt tight, but there was also a lot of traffic. I imagine demand will simmer a bit once they're not the new exciting thing. I will say they seem to have some identity confusion, calling themselves "Maki of Japan", then also "Asian Eatery", but most of the food seems to be more aligned with Chinese cuisine, with a sprinkling of Cajun and Thai influence. Perhaps "Maki Asian Eatery" would have been a more apt name. Food is mostly served cafeteria style, with all of the food looking very fresh and appetizing. Despite a long line it moved super fast, to the point that you had little time to debate your choices. There are a few teriyaki options available made to order. Servings are generous, though a bit light on the meat and heavy on the carbohydrate. Pricing seemed reasonable for what you got. Staff were very friendly! There are some growing pains expected in the first week and I'm sure the kinks will be worked out soon. For example, there were no napkins in sight, and they were out of the sauce for the crab Rangoon. There seems to be room for improved communication between server and cashier as far as what's packed to speed up checkout. I'm not sure if there's an online ordering ahead option, but honestly as fast as the service was you could be in and out in a couple minutes so there may not be any benefit to online ordering. I'm excited to have this new options in town and I imagine they'll be very successful!
