    Salmon avocado roll and Mango Tuna Tartar
    Neha S.

    We came for a little girls date, and the food was yummy. Fish was good quality - not fishy at all. The service was ok. They don't really check on you or do anything besides serve the food. The food didn't come out super fast or anything, but we were busy yapping so we really didn't notice. The aesthetic and vibe inside is nice. The lighting is so modern and glowy. We also got hot sake, and I've had smoother ones before. It tasted more alcoholic than sake usually does for me. We also got the Naruto roll in addition to the mango tuna tartar and the salmon avocado roll and the Godzilla roll and literally all of them were so delicious. The Naruto roll was so refreshing, and the mango tuna tartar was literally the best dish. The Godzilla roll was also nice and hot so you could tell it was fresh. The pork xiao long bao was also so yummy and juicy.

    The shrimp tacos and Shaggy Roll were SO delicious! If you're a sushi lover, I'd definitely recommend giving them a try!

    Love coming here for a quick bite to eat ... general chicken is my favorite. The service is always so fast and sweet and the restaurant is a very chill vibe .

    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!

    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.

Let's start with the positives, the restaurant itself and ambiance was nice, clean, inviting...lots of staff! Loved that they had a happy hour on a weekend day, we ordered sushi, sake, and crab puff rolls off the happy hour menu and they were all good. I feel like we would come back at some point and just do happy hour. Lots of good choices on the menu. Soup was very good, loved the soup. Salad was good, very tasty dressing. Soup and salad came with hibachi. Our waiter seemed very rushed, nervous, somewhat annoyed. This was our first time here, and first time looking at the menu. It seemed odd that he took our menus after we ordered a few things off the happy hour menu, if he would have left the menus we would have probably ordered more off the menu. We still had over an hour before happy hour was over. Drinks were okay, I ordered iced tea partner ordered sake. It was supposed to be cold, but seemed more lukewarm temp. Now for the Hibachi, I'm going to be honest it seemed like the guy was struggling. There was barely any interaction throughout the whole experience, and as you know that's what Hibachi is all about. I ordered the steak and shrimp, partner ordered the scallops. Everything was cooked with tons of oil, the shrimp and scallops were drenched in oil and there were some pieces that weren't cooked all the way through. Veggies were barely thrown on and taken right off, they were hard and lacked flavor. The whole point of grilled veggies is the slight char, and taste of the grill. He did remake the scallops but we didn't ask him to remake the shrimp or veggies for the chicken fried rice because at the point the medium steak was turning into very well done. The rice was okay, again seemed very rushed...veggies were barely cooked before chopped and grilled with rice. The service seemed very sloppy, rice veggies flung outside of grill, beside some of the customers plates...cleaning the grill to where we shielded our clothes a few times...he seemed very confused with the orders/waiters notes and seemed like he just wanted to be done. He spoke maybe 3 times the whole experience. I'd like to think that we just got a newer cook, the food itself may have been better maybe if we had a different cook experience. I've done several Hibachi experiences and this one was very lackluster, the table as a whole seemed very underwhelmed. The manager stopped by to discuss the scallops, gave feedback regarding the tons of oil, etc. He gave a military discount I believe about $6. Overall I think for a $100+ dining experience I definitely expect more in terms of experience and treatment of the food. Not sure if we'd return, the guy dining next to us suggested Shogun his issue was that the portion sizes were too small. We might do a stop in happy hour quick bite at some point, but not for Hibachi I don't think. There are so many other options to try.

    Omg this place is so good!! Hibachi was super entertaining and interactive! Chicken fried rice was…read moretasty! Steak and scallop were really tender. Outstanding service and plenty of parking!

I came in on a Wednesday night around an hour prior to closing time, so the waitress was fast in taking our orders, though at times I did feel rushed and felt like they just wanted us out of the restaurant (which is reasonable, but I still felt rushed to eat and pay). This restaurant is featured on the BAHFL card (a card meant to encourage users to try out restaurants and get discounts for their meals), but whenever I asked, she questioned what I was saying and I ended up just paying as is without the card discount. Other than what I previously mentioned, though, this place is still good and is definitely worth trying out, though just not during later hours.
