    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 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.

    Sushi is always delicious! I loved the recommendations given to me by Orlando and Marco at the sushi bar. But the hospitality is what really sold me on this place! Every time I come... Chuy, Marco, and Orlando make me feel so welcomed and make the environment pleasant. Truly my go-to place at least once a week! Thanks to my friend T who recommended me to this place! :)

    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.

    The service here was amazing! Ted was so attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you so much, Ted, for your wonderful service. We truly appreciate you!

    Tokyo Garden Sushi Deluxe Box

    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.

    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.

    Ichiban Sushi -- Downey, CA: A True Neighborhood Treasure…read more I've been a regular at Ichiban Sushi in Downey for the last 18 years, and every visit reminds me why this place is so special. 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.
