    Summer Peach Tea

    The restaurant was clean, the customer service was good and the food was amazing. We had hibachi, sushi tacos, monkey brains and dumplings. All of it was perfect

    Spicy Girl Roll
    Hailey L.

    Loved this place so much, we ordered doordash a few times but finally made our way in. The wait staff was extremely nice and we didn't have to wait to be seated or have our food ordered. The place was clean and smelled amazing. We ordered the taro bao, which was the perfect amount of sweetness. Nice and soft with the right amount of filling. Definitely made in house. We also got a spicy girl roll which was very fresh and flavorful. The last dish we enjoyed was the spicy popcorn chicken which is a fave of ours, spicy and very crispy! It actually numbs your tongue a little due the pepper but worth it!

    We found TokyCobao thanks to a Yelp recommendation, and it was absolutely worth it. Everything we ordered was spot-on. We had the classic maki California roll, wonton soup, miso soup, and their sushi tacos, one cooked and two raw. All were fresh and flavorful. But the real standout was the pork xiao bao. Hands down best-in-class. Perfect texture, great flavor, and something we'd come back for on its own. Customer service was amazing -- extremely friendly, welcoming, and on top of everything. The place is very clean, the vibe is great, and you can tell they care about what they serve. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.

    Rox: 11/10 on food. I am a big time dumpling gal and these were SO good! Big critic of chili oil as well and it passed the test. This will 100% be our new take out spot. You HAVE to get the red oil dumplings and pork xiao long bao!!! Only reason they didn't get 5 stars is there is zero beer wine or alcohol Mike: Hands down everything was amazing, but the sauce on the red oil dumplings was amaze and we even ordered a cup of it to go. Wish I didn't have to run to my truck for a drink every 15 mins LOL! Great place and staff. Highly recommend!

    Super friendly staff! Cute place! You can sit down and have your meal while being served or do take out. We started with the crab salad and gyoza. Don't sleep on the crab salad! I like how it's served on wonton chips. I opted for the Beto box for some variety. I went with the teriyaki chicken. It comes with a California roll, rice, dumplings, and choice of soup. Our waiter was amazing!

    We've wanted try this place since the sign went up in the tiny strip mall some months back. Our overall experience was good. First, I remember when one had to travel to NYC for Shanghai soup dumplings, and I am so happy that the popularity of this dish has taken off. The soup dumplings here are just OK. While the dumpling itself is thin (which is a good thing) and the broth itself tasted fine, there just wasn't enough of it compared to so many other places. The crispy bottom bao was very good, in my opinion, though it could have been fried in a hotter pan for some improved crispiness. My wife is the crispy bottom bao connoisseur in the family, and she wasn't overly pleased because there was a lot of meat and very little broth. I tend to order eggplant whenever it's on a menu. The eggplant here was served al dente, and it was in a pool of oil. Way too much oil. The flavor was OK, but the eggplant needed to be cooked longer, and I would prefer a sauce over a ton of spicy oil (see photo). Finally, I splurged on hot & sour soup. It is actually pretty good, though it was served warm and not hot. The service here is excellent, and the restaurant is as clean as they come. Despite that this is a small joint, they've managed to get plenty of tables in here.

    Was craving dumplings so decided to try this place. I called in my order and went to pick it up. It was pretty much empty inside which should have told me all I needed to know but the staff was polite. I ordered egg drop soup, chicken soup dumplings, side of noodles and scallion pancake. The egg drop soup was way too thick for my liking. I took maybe 2 bites of it and threw it away. The soup dumplings were just okay. I was expecting better, as I've had frozen soup dumplings from a grocery Store that had more flavor and ingredients. The noodles were okay but had a strange odor. The only thing i would consider getting again is the scallion pancake. To say that this was $30 worth of food and I wasn't really satisfied with any of it is very disappointing.

    Eat in. Delivery not as good. Egg drop soup was oily and the soft shell crab tasted off.

    The restaurant's name is a bit of a challenge to pronounce, but I sure have a lot of really positive things to say about it. Opened since April, Tokyco Bao stands head and shoulders above any other Japanese eatery in at least the League City/Clear Lake/NASA area. And why's that? Two words: sushi tacos. Heck, they're why I came here this evening, justifying my monthslong wait (I was hospitalized and in recovery mode). I love sushi and tacos hence it was a no-brainer that they were the first thing I ordered. Anyone who gets them is greeted by three of those culinary bad boys. Anchored by tempura seaweed taco shell and a piece of seaweed tempura, the sushi tacos can definitely hold their own against the traditional Mexican variety we Texans are accustomed to. The first few bites undoubtedly blew me away. Because it was Japanese fusion, I took the last bite of my last taco using chopsticks. They're the brightest highlight of this place. I'm also a fan of their soup dumplings. If you enjoy wonton soup, you for sure will love these. However, I must warn potential diners that contents filled with piping hot soup so be careful when eating them. A solid starter for sure. While housed in a small shopping center (if you could call it that), Tokyco Bao resembles a fancy-looking cafe you'd find in the Land of the Rising Sun. It's so clean and pristine, even the restrooms. Lastly, the staff excels at customer service. The waiter did his job. Even when closing time was looming, we were still taken care of. Tokyco Bao had a 4.2 rating before I composed this review, to which I say it deserves to be higher.

    I wish I'd snapped a pic of all our food, but I was too busy enjoying it! I got the sesame chicken & rice from the lunch menu sooo good! The place was packed during lunch hour, super clean, and had such a nice vibe. Definitely going back!

    If you are looking for sushi or something unique like their sushi tacos you are in the right place. If you are looking for homemade dim sum, go somewhere else. We ordered several dumpling options and they were either out or the ones we got were premade, frozen dumplings. I will say the sushi taco was spectacular! Don't miss out on this one. We would come back just for that. Service was good, but the building was a little warm.

    Sushi taco
    Mimi X.

    First of all, my friend and I saw this by chance when we drove by. Decided to take a chance and u-turn to try it out. The interior decor was unexpected. Super modern and sleek. The food! They had a majority sushi selection with some Chinese influences, such as xiao long bao and some Chinese dishes. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered during our first visit. Various sushi's 4/5, generous slices of fish and smooth as went down. My favorites are the salmon and scallop. The uni was fresh! Hot mama roll 3.5/5, it was good but I felt like there was a lot going on in that roll. Didn't expect it to be fully fried. Calamari roll 4/5, unique roll, was delicious. Pink lady roll 5/5, my favorite roll for the night. Crab puffs 4/5, delicious filling but it was a bit thin. Sushi taco, 5/5, sooooo good. Still thinking about how unique and tasty that was. Pork Xiao Long Bao 4/5, delicious soup filling. Not salty at all. The vinegar sauce that came with it was light and fragrant. Seared salmon appetizer 3/5, this was so delicious but it does not blend well together as an appetizer. I even ate it deconstructed and that tasted better than it was put together. I tried as much variety as I could but I will most definitely come back and rate the bento boxes and the Chinese dishes!

    The food is amazing. It is kind of small, but beautiful. If you are in a hurry, don't dine in. The service is wonderful. The waitstaff is very attentive.

    After countless times coming, I've been meaning to make a review about this place. Everything in…read moretheir menu is something great, with some of my personal favorites being the Homestyle Trio with Eggplant, their Mapo Tofu (off menu, no gatekeeping), their Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup (a wee too spicy for me personally, but I love the simplicity of it), and the General Tso's Chicken. The eggplant dish mentioned is very rich and flavorful, with the eggplant cooked to be soft and almost mushy (but in a good way), nicely complimented by particularly the beef. Their lo mein is a little watery on various occasions, but still maintains a great and very nice flavor. Their fried rice is one of my favorites in the area and is always very well made no matter the time of day. The fried chicken wings, crab puffs, and crab bomber appetizers are both just such standouts in what is often an overlooked part of the menu by many restaurants. I have nothing but praise about how this place handles food. The staff is all really nice and welcoming from entrance to walking out the door. They are very good with order additions or food/allergy restrictions and the dishes always come out in a timely (but not rushed) manner, no matter whether it is a weekday morning or a busy dinner crowd. I'd recommend the lunch special for anyone coming around that time, as the deal of egg rolls, soup, and an entree or 2-3 sushi rolls for a low price is a steal. The ambiance nice for sure and the tables are clean, though I do sometimes get disoriented by the wallpaper they use (I think it's just me though). Whenever this place first opened, I was very disappointed in the restaurant. Meals were salt with a side of meat and rice and was just overall underwhelming. But now, it is one of my family's go to places whenever we need quality food in a short distance. Definitely worth a try, even over other restaurants in the area that serve a similar menu.

    With a full bar and wide selection of food options, this is a great place for lunch or dinner…read more During lunch, the restaurant was surprisingly full and bustling. Even so, we didn't have to wait for a table for two. The meal was filling. The portion sizes are enough to feed two people. I made some alterations to my order and they were happy to oblige. Our service was great. I could tell the waitress was new and still learning so I worked with her. She now knows that they do have serve a salmon dish that comes with jumbo shrimp, steamed vegetables and the rice of your choice. This dish was pretty good. I could have done without the jumbo jalapeño though. I enjoyed the seaweed salad. It came with a bed of lettuce and a creamy dressing. Not the typical seaweed salad, but enjoyable nonetheless.

    Small update on individual dishes during my last visit:…read more4.5/5 Pad Thai - A little dry this time around, could use more sauce but the taste was still overall good. Also wished that the peanuts were on the side rather than on the dish by default, so I'll keep that in mind. 5/5 Kao Pad - Spice level 1.5 seems wimpy, but it is perfect that way. SO extremely flavorful and the steak is so nicely cooked. Also love the tomatoes. 5/5 Ahi Tuna - I legit could go here and only get this. Everything about it is so perfect (other than the wasabi, because who invited wasabi to this perfect dish?) 4.5/5 Panang Curry - Very enjoyable, though I do wish there was more protein to the dish. 3/5 Asparagus and Crab - Kind of a disappointment. I don't think the two complement each other in any meaningful way. 3/5 Chilean Sea Bass - Chilean Sea Bass is so incredibly overrated. For the price and what we got, it simply left us wanting more of something else (I forgot what the dish is called... whoops, there is a picture) 4.5/5 Raad Prick - Plenty flavorful, though I do feel that there should be more to this dish like vegetables, but it does allow the fish to stand out.

The food stayed hot in the metal bowl which was nice. The Bò Lúc Lắc arrived hot and sizzling, just as advertised. The beef was flavorful and cooked well. One thing to note is that it came with white rice rather than the fried rice shown on the menu description. The food was good, and I'd probably come back, but I'd try a different location because the service at this one was disappointing and ruined the experience. Andrew was very helpful, but the other two employees spent most of the time on their phones with their backs turned toward the dining room, making it difficult to get their attention. We had to get up ourselves to ask for a water refill. While in the middle of eating, one of the girls brought our check and said, "Whenever you're ready, no rush." It felt like we were being rushed out while I was still actively eating and it wasn't busy. What was especially disappointing was that she never asked how our food was or whether we wanted to order anything else before closing out our tab. I had planned on ordering a drink after my meal, but after that experience, I decided I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service left a lot to be desired. Better hospitality would have made a big difference.
