It had been decades since I dined at TH. I did not recall dining teppanyaki style when I was a teenager. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Similar to Benihana's, this dinner with a show was fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Simon was both funny and skilled with a knife, etc. The staff was attentive and later sang to celebrate my daughter's bday. read more

Tokyo Hibachi - Teppanyaki! - Teppanyaki Near Me - Lakewood, California

Very expensive for the portion that you receive its good but I don't think I would go again. Not worth the money.

I've seen this spot many times, and my sister was looking for a place to take my mom and decided to go here. Since I do like Hibachi, it sounded like a good spot to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is a decent size, and we waited about 30 mins to get seated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went early to put us on the list and by the time the rest of my family came we were being seated. The menu had the food to cook on the grill and sushi. We all got the the rib eye steak hibachi. As most they have a little performance, and this spot I really appreciate, because they don't do the flying shrimp thing. Now I know many love it, but I personally hate it, because if I get chosen...then I miss catching the shrimp (which I will), then they'll keep doing it at most places till I catch it. I hate being put on the spot to do it. I'm going to be a prude and even say they can be liable if someone chokes! Anyways I personally hate it, and they didn't do it. So I'm actually glad they didn't. I enjoyed the little show, which honestly is the same in most places. The steak was tender, rice is really good. I loved the sauce with it. I don't know what it was, but it's delicious. Calamari was also good. Just a bit tough to eat super hot so just gotta wait for it to cool down to enjoy. Service was quick. I personally would come back here and have dinner again. I thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

Came last Sunday with the whole family, including my mom. She was sitting at the part of the table that has an open portion underneath where the chef Jesus stands and puts his cart. The chef wasn't careful, and one of the plastic trays from the cart fell on top of my mom's big toe. She was wearing sandals, so it started getting red and swelling. The manager Juan came by the table and suggested that my mom go to the urgent care across the street. However, it was the weekend, and it was already closed by then. They gave us a bag of ice, and my mom kept that on her toe the entire meal. I was hoping they would offer us free dessert or a discount or something for the bad experience and for hurting my mother's toe. They didn't give us anything - no comped food, no discount, nothing. I don't normally seek out free food, but they needed to do more to make up for the fact that their employee physically injured one of their customers. We will see if the injury gets worse and will file a lawsuit if needed. As far as food, the hibachi is nothing special and is overpriced. One of the most basic hibachi shows I've ever seen. Basic spatula twirling, no magic tricks, not that entertaining. Never going back here again, and I would never recommend this place. read more

I love this place, been coming here since it was in Cerritos the old big location. Time has passed but the food continues to be great. I know all the chefs they all cook amazing women's better than others but most are very good. Kiddos to the wait staff and my boy behind the sushi bar!!! read more

I've lived in Lakewood for 21 years and this was the first time I've been here. My experience was overall good. The service was great, but I do have to say our chef was...pretty boring. He basically came out and cooked, and hardly even spoke. I think that with teppanyaki cooking you go for the show, especially at that price. So food and service was good but could be better if chef was more interactive. read more

Inconsistent. We came here last week Tuesday and everything was perfect, food was amazing, company was delightful, just a perfect dinner. Today, Thursday, we got a first time cook and it showed. Food was overspiced, too much pepper. He got the orders wrong, he tried to toss an egg in his hat and missed and he made a mess on floor... oh well, what can you do? Wish we got that first guys name, he was tall, looked white or Italian. Second dude was a short stocky mexican. He was nice, just not experienced. read more

Great service and great food. Been coming here for years and this place never disappoints

Y'all! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! They were always asking if we needed anything! Getting anything that was empty off of our table, always had a refill on our drinks! It am so a happy to come here, i will be coming back!!! read more

Worse experience we had a reservation at 6:30pm and 7pm they telling still telling us that it will take another 35min, so an hour after our original reservation, bad organization and communication overall, never coming back read more

Don't come here without a reservation. They will lie to you about the wait time and have you sit there for 2 hours...it's ridiculous. Great food but absolute insane way to run a restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wall to wall people waiting...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Tokyo Hibachi - Teppanyaki Near Me - Lakewood, California

Ironically, this is my first time writing them a review. Shame on me. My favorite place to go at least 4 times a month with my family. We alway seat at the sushi bar. And mingle with the other regulars and taking shots. A great way to end the day . The Three Amigos rocks! George, Juan and Jose Always treats us very well. It's probably why we come so often. Parking is ample. Because every night you will see many regulars here, it can be busy. Be patient if you're waiting for the Sushi Bar. The Teppanyaki Area moves pretty fast. Too lazy to take pictures, but here are some. read more

Got treated by my dad for my recent engagement and this spot was pretty good! Parking lot has plenty of space and I would've never found this spot unless my dad showed me. They give GREAT portions here, such as the chicken fried rice! The actual hibachi shrimp I ordered was AMAZING! Lots of good flavor and they aren't any to use a fair amount of seasoning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There isn't tons of seating here so it is a bit cramped, but it makes it feel like home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely come back if I'm in the area and craving some hibachi! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a fun night at this hibachi restaurant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our chef was absolutely hilarious and made the whole experience so memorable. From cracking jokes to playful interactions with everyone at the table, he kept us laughing the entire time. On top of that, the food was delicious especially the fried rice . We'll be back for sure! read more

This place knows how to treat their customers well. They remember you and you even if you just come once in awhile. The food is consistently good as always. Juan has been running this place like clockwork, it usually has line but he keeps the wait time to a minimum. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice clean place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

love the food but every time i order to go they take 3x the time they tell me it's going to be, never get the order/ temperature correct, and this time i paid and waited the extra 30 mins just for them to come back and ask for my order 2x and say they didn't charge me correctly the first time ($128) so they had to charge me another $12 LOL not coming back! Mind you it was only two steak plates and edamame. read more

Honestly this is a hit and miss with service. Today I made a reservation for 7:30pm I arrived at 7:15pm and upon check in they told us it would be a 35-40min wait!!! I don't understand the point of making a reservation if you're going to tell the person behind me with no reservation the same wait time??? Food has always been delicious and the cooks are super friendly therefore I still recommend it. Oh before I forget, always call to check their closing time don't go based off google, I've had instances were I've arrived at 8pm super exited when google shows they close at 10pm and as I'm walking in they told me "we are closed because it was slow" read more

The server(s) were VERY POLITE! They made sure I had everything I requested for in a timely manner and the server explained the menu. The chef who cooked for us was also great, funny too! The food was seasoned well, I had the steak, chicken, and shrimp. Would go again. read more

I cannot complain. My family has been coming to this place for years. The food and service have always been great. I only wish they opened for lunch like they did in the past. read more

Service was exceptional. I really don't know how to spell his name but the man that prepared our meal was awesome. Engaged with the kids and overall did an awesome job.

They do take reservations so make one today and go have a good time. read more

The service last night we received was immaculate. We came in at 6:30 wasn't too busy. All three servers that were there, allllllll of them gave us amazing service. Thank you Tokyo hibachi for making our anniversary dinner perfect. read more

The food was really good. We ordered a fried Philadelphia roll and we got something that had crab, cream cheese and salmon in it. Not sure what it was but definitely not a Philly roll but we ate it and didn't say anything. The rice was probably the best I've had at a hibachi place. All the garlic they put in there is just perfect! Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. I will say this place is very busy. We had a reservation and still had to wait almost 30 minutes to be seated. read more

Love coming here for hibachi. The service has always been wonderful. I've come with a reservation and walk in and each time we were helped and seated in a timely manner. The food is delicious and flavorful. The items don't come with fried rice so you have to make sure you add that if you're trying to have some tasty hibachi friend rice. It's not too big but doesn't ever feel overwhelming when I've come with family. Definitely will keep coming back here when craving hibachi or for a special occasion meal. read more

I love this place. Food: What's in their fried rice? It's so good.. I like the Ribeyes Medium and Chicken Combo and Scallops Appetizer added. It's way better than Benihana. You get their onion soup comes with fried onions, green onions, and mushrooms, like a beef broth, then a house salad with some special sauce. Chefs come out makes you the fried rice for upgrade $5 its the bomb. . Also you get vegetables zucchini, mushrooms, bean sprouts and onions. They have a brown and orange sauce. I like the brown sauce ginger. And they have some kind of special sriracha sauce made on grill with garlic. Also the chili paste I love it. It's worth it. Sushi and of course Jose he's the best. Small menu on sushi but he pretty much can make you anything. I like the avocado wrapped with spicy tuna, baked salmon rolls, eel roll. He makes this special sauce idk but it's so yummy. Staff super friendly always refilling waters and taking out dirty plates. Love Juanito he's so funny and makes you feel like home the minute you walk into the restaurant. Fun and friendly atmosphere. I called in for reservations for two people. Surprise they take reservations. Kudos. read more

We used to come here once in a while but haven't been in the area. Well we were in the area so we came for dinner. We got lucky and were seated quickly with another family that waited 1.5 hours. I guess everyone waiting had left so we got their spots. The inside was ok, nothing special but it looked clean. Since the last time we were here, they raised their prices quite a bit. Given our experiences before at their old location, we were okay with it. We ordered the Rib Eye Steaks and avocado wrapped tuna roll. We haven't been to Hibachi for a while and didn't realize the fried rice is an additional cost, so we ordered fried rice. The waitress had just asked if we wanted steamed or fried so from the way we were asked, we expected that it came with the meal. I think this should be made more clear when our orders were taken, especially if we're being charged $5 for it. Maybe asking if we still want wanted the steamed rice that was included? Now comes our meal. The avocado wrapped tuna roll came our quickly and was very delicious. Good for the price of $20. Moving on to the meal, the 3 shrimp appetizer is literally just 3 shrimps cooked. No garnish or anything, just 3 shrimps. They did taste good so I can't complain about that. The onion soup, salad, side vegetables were also decent. As for the Rib Eye priced at $35, you get a 1/4 inch thick steak which looks about 1/2 as thick as a normal steak. This was definitely very thin compared to some other places I've been. In addition, I ordered rare. Given that it's difficult to cook a steak this thin rare, not sure why that's an option because ours were not rare. The steak pieces didn't have a good sear on outside and weren't rare on the inside. So you don't get the hibachi seared flavor much at all. The steaks were more of a med/med well. Other hibachi places were able to serve a good rib eye rare and were more competitive on pricing. Overall, this place is just okay and service good. Sad that it wasn't as good as it used to be. Given the fact that the price of our meal including tip was $200 for 3 Rib Eye meals, fried rice, avocado wrapped tuna roll, 2 sodas and green tea, plus the fact that the serving size and preparation were mediocre, we won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

The service and food was amazing! All staff was very attentive and nice. Definitely recommend 10/10!

This is my first opportunity to come to the new location as I used to frequent the Lakewood restaurant several times a week prior to work relocation and Covid. It was so nice to see George the owner, and Juan who greeted us and sat us. Now let's get to the food! We sat at the teppan tables, but I was able to order some of my sushi favorites, one of which the waitress had no idea what it was, but the sushi chef did! I enjoyed the butterfish fillet, which was fantastic, Picture included, and the number 45, Picture included, which absolutely rocked! I think the server is going to try that the minute I leave the restaurant! The chicken was fantastic, the fillet mignon absolutely rocked! And the chef was very personable, very friendly, and in my opinion better than the Benihana chefs. After such a long time away, I will certainly be back! Thanks, George for a great evening and revisiting old times! read more

I'm not in the business of bashing businesses or see them fail; We should help More Small Businesses succeed the longest they are doing right . Business Owner (S) I or One of my fans will come and see what improvements you have made. "You Know Your Building is Two Small" __This place is a cattle call. I made a reservation for no good reason. You still end up waiting for a huge table where you are jammed in with 17 other people. The table is only supposed to fit 14 and there is no such thing as elbow room or personal space. It's like eating at a trough. __The management only show concerns for numbers of customers. The place has 3 big tables and 2 small tables. When you are at a big table, you have to wait for the cook to finish with the other tables because they don't have enough cooks. Like I have said in some of my other reviews, businesses will continue to treat us like this because we as Americans are too complacent. We accept mistreatment and poor service as if we deserve it. I believe that we need to be more demanding and more exacting. We pay for the services; we should at the very least get what we pay for. __ Price is $52 for the basic Meal... read more
