Oh man, this was just not it. I met a friend here for lunch on a Saturday, and everything was just off. From the beginning, when we stepped in, there was some confusion over which entrance was the dine-in one. Even though the restaurant was mostly empty (maybe one or two other tables when we got there) no one came by to seat us for at least five minutes. When we did get seated, we ordered the baked mussels, chicken skewers and a couple rolls. I never knew you could mess up baked mussels so badly, but apparently you can. My friend ate one and declined the rest. The mussels came with what looked like a squirt of mayonnaise from a squirt bottle, not the filled, juicy mussels I've come to expect. They were dry and unappetizing. Three chicken skewers arrived, and two were fine but one was visibly different and tasted different too, not in a good way. Kind of an undercooked taste? But we didn't get sick, so they just tasted bad. The lack of consistency is alarming nonetheless. The rolls were unremarkable. Also, one order didn't even go through, and we had to ask about it. Honestly, we should have just canceled it since it didn't go through anyway. It feels like the owner just put everything they think is popular into one venture, and the result is incohesive and tacky. The menu seems like a collection of "most popular" dishes from other restaurants, with nothing to distinguish this restaurant from any other. Being derivative I might forgive, but the food is abysmal. At a time when eating out costs an arm and a leg, this was such a disappointment, with no redeeming qualities. read more

If you're looking for an amazing sushi spot in Downey, this is the place! What started as a favorite spot for us has turned into a place that feels like home.

Heather and Josh are absolutely amazing they always treat us like family, make us feel welcome, and go above and beyond to make sure we have a great experience every time we come in. The food is always delicious and the people are what keep us coming back. We're so grateful to have found a place where we can enjoy great sushi, good vibes, and genuinely great people. If you haven't been yet, you're definitely missing out! Highly recommend! read more

Came here again, this time with some friends! The wait was super long, so I definitely recommend joining the waitlist before you arrive. It was basically packed the entire night. Since the place is pretty small, it can take a while to be seated, especially if you're coming with a larger group. The parking lot is also pretty small, so if you can't find a spot there, you can usually find street parking nearby. I'd say the prices were about the same as the last time I came, although the portions felt a little smaller this time. I ordered the beef teriyaki and the Osaka sashimi. I noticed the beef teriyaki was a bit different compared to my last visit. This time, there was less beef, and it came with three gyoza instead. I personally didn't love that swap, but it wasn't a huge deal. I also unfortunately got a few pieces of hard rice, though my friend didn't seem to have that issue, so maybe I just had some unlucky bites. Aside from that, everything still tasted great. My friends were actually surprised by how good the salad was--they were like, "Wow, this is actually really good! read more

I hadn't been to Tokyo Garden in yearsssss and I was pleasantly surprised to realize that they are consistently one of the best sushi spots in Downey. The sashimi platter was gorgeous and everything tasted so fresh. Out of all the sashimi we had, the tuna was my least favorite, surprisingly. Everything else was melt in your mouth. We got a sashimi platter and it came with miso soup, salad and rice which were all great. The roll we got I don't remember the name but it was sooo scrumptious! It had sliced jalapeño and cilantro on top of the freshest white fish. Will def continue to come here and recommend to others. We did lunch and it was empty and quiet which was nice. It's such a cute little spot. Check it out if you're in the area. read more

My family and I went here to celebrate my dad's retirement. We were a party of 12. I understand large parties can be tricky to handle. We also went during one of the Mexico work World Cup games so the place was probably busier than usual. But the service wasn't all that great. The servers were nice but they forgot to enter one of my guest's orders so she sat there for a while being the only one with no food. I was seated across from her so I heard her order and I saw the server typing into the handheld device so I really don't know what happened. Good thought was amazing! Prices were great. I really expected the bill to be a lot more for 12 people. read more

Great sushi, current favorite is the tornado roll. It has spicy tuna, crabmeat, avocado on the inside & crispy (very crunchy) shredded potato with soy paper. I love the crunchy, potato, and spicy tuna combo taste. The service is good, not too friendly but they are very attentive and they always keep it clean. They tend to always be busy, the waiting is a bit long but it's worth it. read more

Came across this spot on Google and decided to give it a try. Overall, a great experience. The sushi is on point--rolls are large and packed with flavor. I tried two of their most popular rolls, and both were excellent. Every bite was fresh, well-balanced, and you can tell care goes into how each roll is made. I sat at the bar, and the service was solid. Staff was attentive, and everything came out in a timely manner. It was pretty quiet when I first arrived, but by the time I left, the place was packed, which speaks for itself. I'll definitely be coming back. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out. read more

Amazing food and excellent service! Everything was delicious, and the staff was wonderful. Definitely recommend!

We stopped by Tokyo Garden in Downey with my wife and kids for dinner. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented; but the service left a lot to be desired. It's one of those nights where great food met careless attention, which makes the experience a bit bittersweet. The Food The Tokyo Garden Sushi Deluxe box came out looking like a piece of art. The fish tasted fresh, and the rice had that perfect balance of flavor and texture. The rolls we ordered for the table were also well-prepared and balanced, not overloaded or falling apart like you sometimes find elsewhere. Ambiance The space has a cozy, authentic feel that makes it easy to settle in. The warm wood accents and low lighting give it a sense of calm, it's a great spot to enjoy sushi with family or on a quiet night out. Service This was the one weak spot of the night. Our server seemed distracted and unsure when answering a few menu questions. Shortly after we were seated, my 2-year-old spilled her water, which he witnessed. Aside from saying "it's okay," he didn't offer any help or bring something to clean it up. We ended up flagging down another staff member to handle it after waiting a while. When the meals came out, everyone at my table received their food except me. I assumed the sushi box might be taking longer, but it turned out it had likely been sitting out due to our server disappearing mid-service. Another server finally brought it over, but by that time, everyone else had already finished eating. We later learned our original server may have gone on break, yet no one informed us or took over the table. To finish things off, the restaurant automatically added the gratuity. I'm someone who always tips well, but this time it felt undeserved and took away the incentive for good service. End Notes I'll still return for the food and in hopes that the service just had an off night, that and I would love to give it another shot because I love it when a local business gets its 5 stars. But I hope management takes a closer look at their service approach. A bit more attentiveness would easily turn this place into a top-tier sushi spot in Downey. read more

Tokyo Garden was absolutely fantastic. We ordered a bento box with two items to share and there was plenty of food left over to take home to our kids. The rolls are superb. They're very fresh. Our waiter's name was Peter Jung and he was absolutely outstanding very attentive we ordered something to go and he got it out real quick. I just can't say enough good things about Tokyo Gardens. We will definitely be back and we live an hour and 10 minutes away, but we'll drive here just for the restaurant. read more

Tokyo Garden - Big ahh boat - Sushi Bars Near Me - Downey, California

Sushi restaurant in Downey that offers some of the most flavorful and fresh rolls in the area. They have a nice variety of rolls to choose from, along with sashimi, salads, poke bowls, and bento boxes. My favorite item is the geisha roll. It's packed with flavor and has a great kick to it. It's a spicy tuna roll with shrimp tempura and fresh red onions, jalapeños, and spicy geisha sauce on top. Service is average, nothing special. Parking can be a nightmare with their tiny parking lot in the front and bigger but also busy parking lot in the back. I opt for street parking when I visit. My one compliant is during my most recent visit. After finishing our meal, my best friend and I were chatting and finishing our drinks when a waitress came over and asked us to wrap things up so that they could use the table to seat another party of 8. This felt rude as t was a sign on the table mentioning a 2 hour limit, and we had been at the table for a little over an hour. Side note: Upon being seated, we noticed an open 2 person table that we should have been seated at (rather than the 4 person table) if service staff was worried about tables. Pro tip: Review your check before paying and you'll see they apply an automatic 15% tip (even for parties as small as 2). I've accidentally double tipped twice at this restaurant because the waitress brings a tablet to check you out which prompts you for another tip, without saying a word about the bill already including a 15% tip. read more

Have been to this location twice and can say that the sushi is delicious. The mango salmon roll is absolutely delicious and only lacks some spiciness. The zen roll is refreshing with tuna, yellowtail, and salmon. While I usually don't enjoy spicy tuna, the Toyota roll is insanely delish! They also offer highballs that are as good as the ones I enjoyed whilst in Japan. Decor is similar to that golden gai/Tokyo mini streets. Service.. is unfortunately a hit or a miss as staff can be a little off putting or may forget about you.. but regardless the food and drink is worth it. Definitely a 4.5 overall. read more

Tokyo Garden - Peter! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Downey, California

We visited this restaurant on a Friday night with another couple and experienced a long wait (to be expected). The ambience is cozy and nice, and the parking lot is on the smaller side. When we were seated, we were immediately asked what we want to drink, not even giving us a chance to review the cocktail menu. Before ordering, we let our server know that we would like to split the check two ways (one for each couple) and our server brushed it off and let us know we would handle it once we pay, more focused on getting the order in. Our food arrived disjointed, with one dish arriving almost 20 minutes after the rest of the table's order. It was still very yummy. Our server went MIA and finally someone came up to us asking if we wanted to pay (she seemed more focused on wanting to clear the table rather than us searching for our server), we said yes, but she rushed off and got the check without us having the chance to mention we discussed splitting the check with our server. She got frustrated, especially when we wanted to split the fountain drinks and she told us we were unable to. Once the check was fixed, our server magically appeared again to take the payment. I feel like if the server was even a little more attentive, the issues we ran into could have been avoided. read more

First time here. Was. Not. Disappointed. Great vibes. Great food. Great service. Did not have to wait long for my drinks and appetizer despite it being a busy night. Enjoyed a good highball and a Sapporo plus the Omakase Sushi and some Takoyaki to start. Everything was out very quick and the sushi was fresh!! Yes, it was very tasty. The takoyaki was steaming hot although I do think it was slightly lacking in flavor. If you're near the Downey area, stop by and ask Chef Ian to hook you up!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Love Tokyo Garden, been a fan since 2018. Wonderful experience everytime I go, hospitable waiters and waitresses who check up on whenever I'm there. The manager of this location is very kind, although I do miss the one who transferred to their sister location. The Ambiance is a nice homey feel with low lighting and nice pictures in the wall. The overall aesthetic and atmosphere set is great and very comforting. The food, always a 10. Wonderful rolls and salad. The poke bowls are beautiful and so tasty! Although the price has raised quite a bit throughout the years, I always leave satisfied! read more

Horrible service! Our waiter was Samuel V. And he never came to our table to take our order. Never even came to check in.
