    Joshua R.

    Food was amazing and good deals If you come def ask for Sam he the best server here 10/10 experience def coming back

    cappuccino and mango macaron ice cream

    Josh was really kind and attentive throughout the night. The place was actually super cute and it felt like you were away from Downey for a bit. The ambiance was perfect and cozy. The sushi and ice cream were both yummy! My friend and I got the spicy baked salmon roll and golden tiger roll and both were 10/10. We preferred the cappuccino mara on ice cream over the mango one and felt that the mango flavor could've been stronger. Excited to come back!

    Macaron

    Had a great experience at Tokyo Garden! The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the service. Our server, Shinwoo, was incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout our meal. He made sure we had everything we needed and really helped make the experience enjoyable. Love the ambiance with such nice lighting and seating. It's always nice when great food is matched by great service, and Shinwoo definitely made a positive impression. We'll definitely be coming back to Tokyo Garden and hope to have him as our server again!

    Beef Teriyaki plate + Osaka sashimi

    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!

    This was my second time at Tokyo Garden and today visit was just as good as the first time if not better!! This time around we reordered the Crispy Shrimp Roll and the Sashimi Roll which were both outstanding. On top we ordered the Picante Roll which was our favorite roll today. Service was as usual impressive and the ambiance was great!!

    I am so happy that I found this restaurant! My friend and I…read morewere craving sushi but didn't know where to go. We found this restaurant after visiting Porto's. The fish was really fresh and delicious. Their Sushi rice was really delicious. I can easily tell that they are putting a lot of effort on the sushi rice. The rolls were really big. We were so full at the end. I am definitely coming back.

    UPDATE: After my experience, I looked through other recent Yelp reviews and was surprised to see…read moremultiple customers describing very similar issues with the front-of-house service. Recent reviewers have described the service as rude, unhelpful, and accompanied by a poor attitude. One reviewer described the service as "awful, horrible, rude service," while another said the woman at the front had a "terrible attitude." Another recent reviewer described the host as rude after being told to wait outside in the rain and wind, and another specifically mentioned that the hostess was not helpful when they had questions. Unfortunately, this makes my experience seem much less like an isolated incident and more like a recurring customer-service problem. My own experience involved someone at the front who was unnecessarily difficult, unwilling to help with basic questions or alternatives, and ultimately refused service when I asked to speak with management. What is even more concerning is that I subsequently tried multiple times to reach management about what happened and did not receive a return call. When several recent customers are independently describing similar experiences with front-of-house staff, I would expect management or ownership to take those complaints seriously. Based on my experience and the pattern reflected in other recent reviews, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere that values its customers and treats them with basic courtesy and respect.

    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.

    The sushi was okay. We ordered a salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, and a few other bites to go, so I…read morecan't really speak on the dine-in experience. Nothing was bad, but it was honestly pretty forgettable. At least it wasn't gross lol. Would we order from here again? Probably not, but it was worth trying once.

They also have a private dining room for parties, birthdays, graduations, etc. The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The teriyaki was perfectly cooked with a delicious glaze that had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The edemame (plain and spicy garlic) is a must. The miso soup is always on point and flavorful. Everything we ordered was outstanding. The sushi chefs ‍ Paul, Jackie, and Sam were engaging, polite, funny, and fun. The service was a 10/10! Stephanie, Judy, love boat, Liz, and Grace are so attentive and sweet. We feel at home when we eat at Ichiban. It's like Cheers where everyone knows your name. The drinks were also fantastic--refreshing and the perfect addition to the meal. On top of the great food, the atmosphere was so fun and lively. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great company, make friends (Cindy & Jonathan) and have an all-around great time. If you're looking for delicious sushi, fresh sashimi, great drinks, and a fun vibe, this place is a must. Definitely a 5-star experience and I can't wait to come back!
