Busy spot but lots of seating. They have a ton if staff working all together so things are super efficient, someone will be by to be helping your table with something always. So efficient that my wife joked there might be cameras like in the Brazilian steakhouses watching your table for your needs. Very large menu with lots of options that made me happy. The rolls here are all ENORMOUS. Like huge huge. And happily they were huge due to being grossly overstuffed with crab (usually anyway). One of my rolls my wife said was the freshest tasting rolls she'd ever had- it was the protien roll- which is wrapped by cucumber not with seaweed or soy paper. The zen roll was also good. Complimentary edemame. Solid spot. read more

Another Korean Sushi spot, been coming here for few years after our usual sushi rolls place closed during COVID time. Always fresh, rolls are almost always yummy, the technique is a hit or miss. Theres been sometimes they come undone, sometimes rolled nice and tight. Its usually always busy, if you want to avoid lines or crowds, Monday Dinner is the slowest in my experience. My go to is the Mango Pina Roll. Perfect combo of sweet/savory/spicy read more

I wish I could give a better review because the food was ok, and so was the service but I was so disappointed in the sauces, they water down their soy and chili sauce and it tastes like nothing, it's so bad I didn't enjoy anything. To clarify, this is for the side sauces, not the ones on the sushi. read more

This place is a new favorite of mine! Always packed and for good reason. Everything tasted super fresh and authentic. Each roll tasted so different from the other. The customer service is also amazing! Everyone was so kind and they brought such a great atmosphere to the place. They don't have AYCE so everything is just a la carte. Parking can be a bit tough when it's busy but otherwise they have a lot. read more

went on a Friday night and as expected it was busy, we checked in on yelp and waited about 45 min! Only down side of this place has to be the parking it's pretty small and the surrounding neighborhood is kinda packed too :( The food here never disappoints we tried the zen roll, love roll, and the truffle salmon! The truffle was by far my favorite dish 10/10!!! Our server did accidentally charged us for extra rolls but was so nice when we pointed it out and was quick to fix it. Overall always a good experience here! read more

Having come in with doubts about the authenticity given the location and being the only two Asians at the restaurant, my friend and I were pleased to discover Tokyo garden's food tastes exactly like it should. I had the bento box with sesame chicken and shrimp crunch roll, both of which were tasty and on par with other Japanese restaurants. The meal came with soup, salad, and some seasoned potatoes, all very good. My friend got the OMG roll not realizing it was soy paper, but didn't have any complaints either. There was free salted edamame as well and overall it was a very standard meal. The service here was good and ambiance was pretty standard, although some one time use utensils/sushi dipping bowl cheapened the image. I'd recommend for anyone in the area as the pricing is also very reasonable. read more

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.

From the moment you walk in, you get the feeling of being welcomed by family. Chef Paul consistently turns out some of the best sushi I've had -- fresh, beautifully balanced, and made with obvious care and skill. Each roll and nigiri shows attention to detail and a respect for the ingredients that keeps me coming back. Servers Julie and Judy are every bit as important to the experience. They're friendly, attentive, and always make sure our table is taken care of. Whether it's a recommendation, a quick refill, or making sure a birthday surprise goes smoothly, they handle it with warmth and professionalism. Their customer service is a big reason many of us have been repeat customers for years. Over the last 18 years I've built a genuine relationship with the team at Ichiban. We've celebrated birthdays and shared many memorable moments together -- rare in today's restaurant scene. That personal touch, combined with consistently excellent sushi, makes Ichiban Sushi my go-to spot. If you're in Downey and love authentic, high-quality sushi served by people who truly care, don't miss this place. The ambiance for any big party or birthday party is great you're able to take up half of the restaurant. It's always a cozy Friday night vibe when you visit. I just miss the bob Marley music.

Tokyo Gardens has always been one of our favorite places for sushi--we've been coming here for over 10 years, and it used to be a spot we could rely on for both great food and a welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was the worst experience we've ever had here. The biggest issue was the service, specifically with the manager, Helen. She came across as rude, unfriendly, and completely dismissive of what I was asking. Instead of trying to help or even acknowledge our concerns, she made us feel like we were an inconvenience. That kind of attitude is really disappointing, especially from someone in a management role. On top of that, the restaurant itself felt chaotic and poorly maintained. It looked like they may have lost a lot of staff--things were disorganized, service was slow, and there was a noticeable lack of attention to customers. We weren't the only ones frustrated; you could hear other diners around us complaining as well. It's honestly upsetting to see a place we've loved for so long decline like this. The only reason we even consider coming back is because of Marlon, who continues to provide great service and is one of the few bright spots left here. If this is the direction the restaurant is heading--especially with how customers are treated by management--we won't be returning. We truly hope things improve, but this experience was enough to make us seriously reconsider coming back. read more

We arrived at 9pm on the dot, a little late, but according to their listing they are open until 9:45pm. We are seated quickly, ordered food and waited. I received my appetizer and meal and waited for my girlfriend to get her order. This wait turned into literally 35-40mins. We actually got the check and we're told they would be closing the register so I asked the waitress if they had forgotten about her item. We are asked if "we still want it" and obviously did I mean, why wouldn't we? They did. Infact, their explanation was "the item was burned and they forgot but we are making another one now". The item eventually comes, at this point 45mins later. They give me the check again, and offer a measly $4 discount on an order of $47! That's not even 10%, doesn't even cover taxes! Funny enough, the couple in the seat behind us actually got complimentary sake for their wait, I was expecting them to atleast offer this as a condolence, but not even that. Horrible first time experience here, I honestly would not recommend anyone spend their hard earned money here because it seems as thought everyone who works here gives little to no thought at all. Another little cherry on top of this experience, was that the cooks objectified my girlfriend as she walked to the restroom. This guy literally checked her out and told his buddy to look in that direction. Really disgusting disposable behavior. read more

Tokyo Garden is an absolute gem hidden amidst the bustling streets of Downey. If you're a sushi enthusiast like me, this place is a must-visit! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with an inviting and cozy atmosphere that sets the tone for a delightful dining experience. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and their knowledge of sushi is impressive. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the sushi itself. Tokyo Garden Sushi takes sushi craftsmanship to another level. The fish is impeccably fresh, and every piece is a work of art. Whether you prefer classic nigiri, creative rolls, or sashimi, they have it all, and it's prepared with precision and care. One of the highlights is their omakase menu, where the chef curates a unique sushi journey for you. Each piece is a surprise, and it's an excellent way to explore new flavors and combinations. The quality-to-price ratio here is fantastic. You get top-notch sushi without breaking the bank, which is quite a rarity in Tokyo. They also offer an extensive selection of sake and other beverages to complement your meal. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or just looking to try some of the best sushi in Tokyo, Tokyo Garden Sushi won't disappoint. I can't recommend this place enough. Make a reservation in advance, as it tends to get busy, and be prepared to embark on a sushi adventure like no other! read more

I'm so disappointed, I'm giving them 2 stars because I come here a lot & most of the time I can't complain, but last night was different! went with my daughter & her dad around 6:30pm. We had to be at dance practice by 8pm. (Which is a block away) we figured we stop and get a few sushi rolls. It took 15-20 min to get sat. Which is no big deal it's always packed, but once we got sat our server got our drinks & left us there for another 25 min. He was too busy taking payments from other guest and having people write down their names to wait for a table. I work for a restaurant and I understand it gets busy but to stop and take a min to just get or order down wouldn't have took long. No other server acknowledged us at all. I called one over before my daughters dad was about to walk our. Only because I was craving sushi so bad. He took our order. 2 rolls and the kids plate & it took another 20 min to come out. Soda was flat, but the rolls were good. Considering I only had time to eat two pieces. So disappointed that I don't think I will go back. (Btw, the server never came to our table again) HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! read more

I had dinner at Tokyo Garden in Downey recently, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The sushi was incredibly fresh - I especially loved the spicy tuna roll and the salmon nigiri, which were both top-notch. What stood out most was the atmosphere. It feels cozy and welcoming, like a hidden gem in the neighborhood. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making sure our drinks stayed full and that we had everything we needed. They also have a great selection of sake and Japanese beer, which paired perfectly with the sushi. Prices were reasonable, and the quality was much better than what I expected in the area. If you're in Downey and craving fresh sushi with a warm, inviting vibe, I highly recommend Tokyo Garden. I'll definitely be back! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Tokyo Gardens in Downey, and a big reason was our server, Samuel! From the moment we were seated, he was friendly, attentive, and incredibly patient. He took the time to answer all of our questions, made great recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Samuel provided some of the best customer service we've had in a long time. He was professional, helpful, and genuinely cared about making our dining experience enjoyable. The food was great, but Samuel's outstanding service made the visit even better. We will definitely be coming back and hope to be served by him again.

I recently tried Tokyo Garden Sushi, and it was a great experience! We ordered the Hawaiian, Love, and Picante rolls, and all three were delicious. Each roll had fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and a beautiful presentation. The Hawaiian roll was especially refreshing with its tropical twist, the Love roll was flavorful and comforting, and the Picante roll had just the right amount of heat without overwhelming the other flavors. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and the staff was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.

This is probably one of my favorite restaurants in downey. The waitresses are really nice and helpful. The food is delicious. I would recommend the Samurai Roll. I never liked eel till I tried this one. Yes some of the rolls can kinda taste the same. But hey, you gotta get creative and order a variety of different rolls. Not the same kind of rolls only different toppings. On weekends this place can get pretty busy but the wait isn't very long. Take-out is also a good idea, because it's usually ready within 20 minutes. Oh yeah you have to try their Red Bean Tempura Ice Cream. The best. read more

I've been coming to Tokyo Garden for a while now, and it's honestly one of my go-to spots. Every time I come, the quality is consistent and the fish is always fresh. The staff recognizes regulars and makes you feel welcome, which I really appreciate. Even when it's busy, they still check on you and do their best to take care of everything. I usually order a mix of sashimi and specialty rolls, and I've never been disappointed. You can tell they really care about the food here. If you're looking for a reliable sushi spot in Downey, this is definitely it. I'll keep coming back! read more

I've been going to this place for 10 years, celebrating Birthdays or and just going out to a hip relaxing place for lunch worth my friends. Staff is accommodating and they have big colorful fun Cake hats for birthdays that you offer for birthday boy or girl and sing to you. Food is tasty with a variety of fresh sushi, roles and baked seafood. However, I was disappointed when they ran out of oysters but they must be good if they ran out on a Wednesday. I always order they're delicious fresh green tea. Anyways I recommend this place to all my friends and family. read more

You must TRY this Place!!! this is the best sushi place in town!! They have fast service and the quality of food is VERY GOOD. I get their monster roll and crazy roll all the time and the Bento box is a good way to go when you go there for lunch!! The chicken is so tender and well cooked and the teriyaki sauce is just delish!!! When i dont feel like eating carbs, i order blue diamond roll or hawaiian roll bc they come with fresh fishes inside with no rice and cucumber wrap. they are just so refreshing, tangy and awesome!!! Im a Big Fan of TOKYO GARDEN!! read more

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! read more

I ordered the Katsu Plate and the Mexican Roll, and both exceeded my expectations. The Katsu Plate was crispy, golden, and flavorful. The meat was tender, and the katsu sauce added just the right tangy-sweet kick. It came with rice and a fresh side salad, making it a hearty and satisfying dish. The Mexican Roll was the standout ! bold, fresh, and full of flavor. It had a perfect balance of heat. The textures were spot-on, and the roll was beautifully presented. Great food, generous portions, and fast service. I'll definitely be back! read more

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.

The menu is extensive! We ended up getting a bento with beef and California rolls and a regular dragon roll. We shared our food so just that was perfect for two. Their green tea was delicious! Even though I had it for dinner, I was still able to sleep really well. I always worry about the caffeine affecting my sleep. Overall, I recommend this spot.

Also the eggplants hit the spot cause I was craving it, has slightly sweet notes and pairs really nicely with the garlic rice. Side salad was great too. I can't wait to come back again. My friend got the drunken noodles and they have three spice levels.
