The Koi pond at the front entrance is a very nice attraction. There must be at least 50 Koi of various colors and sizes. You will never find a pond such as this anywhere. As you enter the restaurant , it resembles those you would see in Saitama. The atmosphere is vibrant and cheerful. It's the perfect setting for a nice dinner. We have dined here numerous times. However , tonight we just came for happy hour. We ordered Salmon Belly Sushi , it may not sound tempting but it really is delicious. The Salmon is very fresh and we complimented it with a refreshing Sapporo. The bartender was nice and chatted with us to liven up the time. TG is my to go spot *** May is AAPI Hertiage Month.

Tokyo Garden - Sukiyaki and Sapporo , my happy meal - Sushi Bars Near Me - Visalia, California

Beautiful place. Extremely friendly service. Our server checked on us so much and even the chef made sure we had everything we needed before he left. We came for teppanyaki. Our meals came with soup, salad and the rice and veggies as well as 2 shrimps and choice of meat. I had the NY steak. They also offer a teriyaki steak which is thinner of a cut. There's a ton of appraisers and sushi rolls to choose from. Everything was very good. We came for lunch but were given dinner menus so we didn't get the lunch prices. No big deal. Maybe weekends they don't offer the lunch prices. Either way, everything was perfect. read more

Came here for lunch. It ordered the chicken teriyaki tepenyaki. It was so delicious! The sauces were amazing, chicken was moist and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The sprouts in the plate had so much flavor as well!!! The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was clean and had beautiful fresh orchids around. The garden and pond out front was also so beautiful and zen. Definitely would come back here read more

Went for Mother's Day 2026 and it had been a while since we had dined here. To our surprise there was a female chef cooking for us and she was absolutely fantastic! I don't recall her name but she was very friendly and fun! The food was a bit over priced for what it was. But it was good. The steaks were extremely thin. Like they took a regular New York steak and sliced on the equator a few times to make it 4 steaks out of the initial one. The cook even said when I requested medium rare that it would be hard for her to achieve that. The bathrooms were clean but the exhaust vents above the tables were covered in grease and grime like it had been months and months since they had been cleaned. There was a lot of smoke lingering in the dining area because the vents seemed bogged down. Other than that, it was good read more

Service is excellent, interior is showing some wear but clean and enjoyable. Now to the food, it was a party of nine for Teppenyaki, most everyone was pleased, however two of us had the Tokyo Garden special, chicken and NY steak, it is priced at $5 more and we expected that it would be the NY with additional chicken, however the NY looked like the standard NY slices in half, and the small chicken breast was halved between the two of us. Seemed paid more and received less overall. Do not recommend if you want your money's worth . read more

This is a great hidden jewel in Visalia! Made reservations for during the week; which was perfect. Not busy; had our own table ( felt like we were at an elegant dinner just for us ). The chef was very personable and even did some tricks and was creative while cooking the food. We enjoyed the whole experience. The food was delicious; tasty and hot. The sauces added a nice pinch of spicy ; which made it perfect. We devoured our filled plates and was stuffed for the rest of the day. I would go back in a heartbeat. Ambiance can be fancy or casual; whatever you decide. Only downside is food is pricey ! read more

This was our first time trying Tokyo Garden it went amazingly well. Our waitress was very friendly and very helpful but our cook stole the show. While seeing others being very stoic and quiet our cook Alfredo, or Fred as he said they call him, put on a show!! He was funny, charismatic and super nice! He told us he was new to Visalia and new to Tokyo Garden so this being our first time I think we lucked out! Because now I want to go again just to have Alfredo cook for us! The steaks were perfectly medium, the veggies cooked to a perfect soft crunch! And the fried rice was delicious! read more

Tokyo Garden - Shrimp, chicken, filet mignon steamed rice and stir fry veggies! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Visalia, California

100% curbed my expectations for this experience. We ordered their samurai sushi (9 pc nigiri), two different rolls, and their uni nigiri. Our favorite part was easily the uni because they were only $17. The quality wasn't the best but the size of the uni made up for it. Sadly, quality of everything wasn't the best. A lot of the fish was kinda mushy and bland. The California roll was missing tobiko.. The samurai sushi set even came with half a stick of imitation crab.. like what the heck? Service outside of the sushi chef was bad. We were forgotten a few times. I did appreciate their koi garden setup though so +10 for that. read more

A real shame of a business. My party was completely vegetarian hence I called in before making a reservation to ensure they can do tofu tepenyaki (as many places do), they say YES. I come in with my large party, we order drinks and the mains. And then right before serving us the waitress comes out and says "nevermind someone in the back said we can't do tofu tepenyaki." Absolutely despicable business, we paid for our overpriced drinks and had to get dinner elsewhere. Please do not support these dishonest scam artists. read more

the teppanyaki here is so good! our chef Lorenzo was super personable and the chicken was super flavorful. i loved the fried rice! service was attentive and polite. the ambiance was pretty calm, we went on a weekday during lunchtime. i would come again for more teppanyaki! read more

Haven't been here in decades and the quality of everything from the service to the food was impeccable. Nothing to complain about. I loved the ambiance before, but not with the recent remodel it definitely opened up the floor plan. We had been craving having sushi for a long time and today just happened to be that day.

Sushi options are great. Everything tasted great. For the people complaining about prices... you clearly don't eat out much. And if you don't, that's fine, just don't go out and eat sushi. These are standard prices, especially if you want good quality fish. For Visalia, this is a great place. read more

Awful service. Went on a Sunday right after opening so they weren't busy. The waitress wasn't friendly or smiled. Three of us ordered rolls and one ordered udon soup. The soup came 20 minutes after the rolls. We asked three times as she walked by ignoring us. I won't be ordering soup again or go there for a good meal! read more

Ok. This used to be my go to spot. I think it's actually become hit or miss. Or maybe this isn't the place you should order take out from. But yesterday I ordered some lunch for take out. And they gave me my food in a regular Togo plastic container which I thought was weird. My CA roll was sticky was not good it was like the rice they used was from the day before. Mushy but sticky if that makes sense. They didn't give soy sauce and that is one of my biggest pet peeves when I order take out sushi. I usually love this place. What's happening read more

Came here with lower expectations seeing how there's a very small Asian population in the area and minimal options for sushi. I definitely didn't expect to find premium fish cuts or omakase type experiences. However, my main gripe is how the prices did not reflect the lower quality of sushi. The sushi combo was $42, but had imitation crab as one of the pieces. The California rolls were $12 but didn't even use real crab and weren't dusted with tobiko. The only positive part of the meal was getting two large pieces of uni gunkan for $16.75. For the prices we paid here, we definitely would've gotten a much better experience even in Bay Area with its exorbitant prices. read more

I've been here multiple times now , tonight we celebrated my mothers birthday with the family , 8 adults and 3 children (quiet a large party to serve) We had a blast, the only complaint is they sent our chef to another party when we had reserved her days in advance , I even called again today to ensure they had my reservation for our party and requested the female chef (whom is amazing btw) , so they knew we wanted her and tried to send us someone else . So the wait was long . But once the chef arrived we had a great time . She was entertaining and the food was cooked to perfection, the filet mignon was to die for. Some chefs rush everything to get to the next table, and that takes away from the experience for us. This chef stands out in a way that makes you want to return and bring your family to enjoy the experience. read more

Came with my family during lunch. Second time I have been here. Both times were great. The place was so clean it was crazy how clean everything was. The servers were all super nice and friendly. The food was really good. I would definitely keep returning. They have a beautiful Coi pond where you can feed the fish, just ask the hostess for fish food. It is a great place to eat some good food and a fun experience to feed the fish. read more

Enjoyed their teppanyaki the other night and nice to see this place is still doing well after all these years. We had a dinner reservation for a party of 16. They did require a deposit to secure the reservation so just something to be aware of. Our entire party arrived at the reservation time and we were promptly seated. I was surprised at how quick and efficient their service was. Our teppanyaki chefs could have been a little more engaged with folks in our party but they handled their business. Food was good, prepared well, and came out at good intervals so we were hardly waiting at any point. They also did a nice birthday song and complimentary dessert for our birthday celebrant to cap off the dinner. read more

First, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, when you Google this restaurant, the prices are under $21 and when you get there, its triple that price. Its not hard to update pricing online & on their website as well, I mean, we drove from Fresno thinking we were in the means 'budget' wise and boy were we fooled. Now, if the food is high quality, who cares to a 'point' right? But to add to that, our cook (who we could not understand well do to her low & quiet voice) asked if we wanted bacon added to the rice... OF COURSE we did but they also charged us $2.50 per person extra, not a really big deal but..... it was 2 STRIPS CUT UP IN SMALL PIECES. Not even enough to "season" the rice well.... The portions ARE SMALL. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE EDO YA or HINO OSHI in Fresno thats for sure!!!! You leave there FULL and take a bit home at times as well. I truthfully do not see how this place stays open- Looks like a Dentist office from the outside and the service was not that great. NOTHING was outstanding including the 'welcomeness' of the staff- Bottle beers are $10 and we were celebrating 2 birthdays, not very memorable.... Too bad we drove to Visalia & did not stay in Fresno! Best thing: KOI POND OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT ...... A+++ on that! read more

I like everything about Tokyo Garden! The food and fresh fish, Service by friendly servers and greeting when you enter, and the Ambiance!! When you enter the restaurant you walk on a wood bridge past a small Japanese garden with koi pond, full of Japanese koi!! As you enter the restaurant you are greeted with a hostess in authentic wear. I like the authenticity of their Japanese style of cuisine. Today I started with Hiyayakko (chilled tofu), topped with green onions, and katsuobushi (bonito flakes), along with grated ginger. Oh so good on a warm day!! My bento box came with green salad and miso soup. I had teriyaki salmon and shrimp and vegetable tempura (tempura was light and not greasy- you can tell by the color of the batter) potato salad and rice. I also ordered Tokyo Garden roll- ($20) Eel, tuna, avocado, spicy krab, shrimp, scallop, bonito, & eel sauce. Servers are always friendly and the teppanyaki chefs are entertaining!! On the way out stop by the front counter to get a handful of fish food for the hungry koi!! Kampai!! read more

The food is good. The service is another story. Horrible horrible service. Manager sitting playing on her phone at a table completely ignoring all their customers. We were seated and were about to walk out when they finally came and took our drink order. We were about to walk out again when they finally took our food order. Then our meals came out one plate at a time sporadically, a hungry 10-year-old had to sit and wait 15 minutes after everybody had their food for their plate. We finally had to get up and find somebody to get a check and get the heck out of there. You can have the best food on the planet but bad service will keep me from ever returning again read more

Ordered Sukiyaki to suit the chilly weather, my hard working body, & empty stomach during my field service site visit to this part of town. Perfectly sizzling pot of cast iron goodness... Filled with wild mushrooms, hearty portion of vegetables, glass noodles, little bits and chunks of raw beef situated window side booth with sights of colorful gold fish swimming in zen inspired garden pond. Very nice and friendly staff. Wonderful settings for any occasion....highly recommend. Just for maintaining the garden... It deserves 1 extra star. read more

Wonderful food and wonderful service! One of our favorite restaurants! Also great for special occasions

I'm not sure if it was just the night that we went but our waitress was very rude the entire time. She stuck her hand in our face while we were speaking to her to tell us to stop and when the cook came he seemed unprepared. Our vegetable were hard, the rice was burnt, and our protein had lots of fat and hard tendons. It would have been one thing if it was just the food but the waitress being disrespectful was the cherry on top. I wouldn't recommend! Her name was SANDY she's rude read more

My wife and I were very disappointed - for the second time. Last time we ate here we said we would never go back. Six months later we decided to give it another try. Bad decision. The sushi was warm and tasted bad and the atmosphere was also an issue. My wife got the Larry roll and I got a sushi bowl. We could not finish it. It was so bad. Somebody's kids were running around by the back pond being loud and unruly. No one told them to settle down. Parents completely absent but so were the employees. Over time we have experienced the quality falling dramatically while the prices rose to ridiculous levels. Way over priced. Our biggest surprise was that we did not get sick. We won't be back. read more

The restaurant looks nice but that's all your paying for. For the price of the food you would expect it to be the best but it was one of the worst Japanese restaurants I've been to in terms of flavor and quality. The teriyaki tasted burnt but they said it's supposed to taste like that. If so, then their standards for teriyaki are low. The tempura was soggy and the fried rice was good but was not worth the extra $5 sub. Overall the price did not match the quality of the food. read more
