Talk about some of the best sushi I have had in a while and some really great service! You could tell the guy behind the bar knew what he was doing because that has got to be the best Spicy Tuna Roll I have ever had. I dunno what was so decadent about it but WOW. I was truly impressed! I also had the Crunchy tempera. My husband had the Kamikaze and the Spicy Salmon and he was impressed as well. We might have found a new fave sushi spot in our area! Oh and the interior is designed so nice, very Japanese-esque. Will return soon! Lily was our server! Great gal, great customer service! read more

Tokyo House Restaurant - Crunchy California roll - Japanese Near Me - Arlington, Washington

I have been to Tokyo House several times in the last 20 years. Up until today I have always thought it was very good for sushi outside Seattle. Today was super disappointing. Ordered a spicy tuna roll and out of three slices had two that had hard chunks of tuna in them. Ordered a shrimp tempura roll; the shrimp was not fresh, was very chewy and in fact seemed like it was the grocery store frozen shrimp. Lastly, ordered two orders of tuna/Maguro and two orders of albacore. Both cuts tasted a little fishy. Also overpriced. Example: two pieces of Maguro nigiri sushi was $10 compared to $8 at one of my favorite higher-end (not omikase) sushi houses in Seattle. I feel badly saying this after so many years, but Safeway sushi would have been equivalent. read more

This is by far the best sushi in the northwest 10/10 every roll is like a work of art and the taste . You have to try the special desert trust me you will love it. read more

The fish is fresh and good. They do not know how to season the sushi rice. It is served totally bland, seemingly straight from the rice cooker. Their prices are higher than better sushi restaurants in the area. For just as good fish but good sushi rice and better prices, try Sakuma in Mukilteo or Fatty Fish in Everett, a little more expensive but offering widest choice of fish. read more

Been here before. Usually pretty decent. Today just seemed a little skimpy on the portions and the seaweed salad had a weird aftertaste. Also when you order something togo I figured it would come with chopsticks or any utensils. I will most likely find another place for sushi. The gentleman making the sushi is always very friendly. read more

Tokyo House Restaurant - $54? What do you think? Worth it? - Japanese Near Me - Arlington, Washington

Good tempura, solid sushi, and subpar entrees, all at a high price We ordered the Philly roll and the House roll, which were both very good. The tempura that accompanied my boyfriend's entree was also quite nice. Unfortunately, the beef in the Tokyo Special and the chicken in the Chicken Udon were as tough as nails. To add insult to injury, the udon noodles were underdone and the broth was bland. Service was a bit slow at first, but this improved later on. Our server was friendly. The interior of the restaurant is comfortable and inviting. Just stick with the sushi and tempura, and you'll be in good shape. read more

My sister and I were looking for a sushi place close by while we were out running errands and we came across this place. Don't let the reviews fool you. This place definitely needed a recent review. Walking in we were welcomed and seated. Food was delicious. The sushi slices weren't too thick or too thin & they gave just the right amount of how many sushi in a plate. Miso soup was DELICIOUS! & the fried tempura was cooked perfectly. Although it was just us in the restaurant, people were coming in & ordering to go or picking up to go. What I love seeing is that they know their regulars & what they ordered if they changed something or not & by name too. Everyone walks out happy. Only reason why i'm giving it a 4 star is cause the price is up there but the sushi maker .. he was amazing! He made everything to perfection with taste & was very presentable on place it on the tray. Sushi we ordered: - california roll (my 4yo ate it all) - philly roll - mexican roll Would definitely recommend this place & I will be coming back. read more

The first thing is train your waitress , before the door closes upon opening it , this young lady sitting is yelling how many and before you take 1 step in then she is shoving a menu at you like your stuck now. The food is Not Good dried out chicken -reheated- rice dried out drenched in 4oz of soy sauce . I should had taking a picture very disgusting in fact we took the food in a go box and left it for the homeless in Marysville. I hope they can find it to be enjoyable. The food is over price -reheated from we hope no more then yesterday. Do Not go here unless you like sushi which that may be a better option but if they cant give you a hot fresh meal for the prices they charge thats highway robbery, The food was also cold , we should had decline this crap. read more

If you want really good Japanese food, this is the place to go. They have a very good selection of food on their menu. All the food is fresh. They have the best miso soup. I have had their bento box several times and have never been disappointed. Friendly people and good service. Large portions so you won't go hungry. The owner is the chef and you can watch him make your food. It is a must go to spot. read more

I'd give a zero star if I could. I was there about 30 minutes ago and was left to just stand at the sign that says please wait to be seated. After 10 minutes 2 guys walked in and she asked them what they need. They had an order to pick up. She then asks me what I want. I replied that I just want to sit down and eat. She has the guys come up to wait and pay for their food and im still standing another five minutes. I finally left and came here to the paddle pub where the service is amazing. I will never step foot in that place again and will recommend the same to my family and friends. The waitress is the absolute worst I've encountered in my 64 years. read more

Tokyo House Restaurant - Cod tacos and a Bloody Mary. - Japanese Near Me - Arlington, Washington

My husband and friends had come here recently and were raving about it so we gave it a shot for our anniversary this week since we both love sushi. It's in a strip mall and is a smaller restaurant with only a few staff so I understand people thinking it's slower service, there just aren't many people working. I will say half the people in there the waitress knew by name so that's always a good sign. She was also very nice and made us feel welcome. We started with gyoza which was good, nice and crunchy. Followed up with the 911, Philly and rainbow roll that were pictured here. All of the rolls were fresh and the rice was soft. My only complaint would be that the prices are a few dollars more per item than other places we go for the same quality food. I would certainly come back if I was in the area but would probably go somewhere closer otherwise. read more

Best sushi and owner. Whole state. Place set a bar so high, never been to another sushi centered restaurant and been satisfied.

Food was okay but the price is just insane. Ordered two rolls and two appetizers, bill was 75$+-. I thought I guess the portions is going to be good, NOT! Look for yourself, does this look like 75$ meal for you. read more

Their prices are indeed steep (e.g. $21 for a rainbow roll), but you get what you pay for. It's obvious they didn't just get some guy off the street and teach him the basics of sushi rolling. The fish was fresh, beautifully prepared, and the flavors surprisingly complex. Frankly this was some of the best sushi we've had in the NE Puget Sound area in quite a while. Too expensive to bring the kids, but we'll definitely be back for date night. read more

The tempura vegetables officially made my list of things I can't do without. Wow. Delicious! Ashamed, I must admit vegetables are something I am still learning to like after years of being a picky eater. These were so good I almost ordered another plate (and the sauce!) Speaking of picky, I only recently started to enjoy sushi and only in the way of California rolls with no fish. I decided to try their salmon rolls and they were so good! It's a really nice atmosphere inside too, just to add. You almost forget where you are for a moment and there's just something about being able to create that experience. Our waittress, in my opinion, was perfect. She made sure we had what we needed but allowed us the space to enjoy our meal. I'm the type to appreciate that balance. I will 100% be going back! read more

Small unassuming restaurant in a little strip mall in Arlington. I visited for the first time yesterday. The food was fresh and delicious. I am gluten free and the waitress was so knowledgable on what I could and could not eat. They even provided GF soy sauce, which isn't always available at restaurants. I would 100% go back. read more

Opened to 25% and we had to get some sushi. Small space but so good. Very personable atmosphere and seems as if they know all their customers by name. I absolutely love that. The can accommodate gluten free. We got tofu for an appetizer, chucks were large and hot and so very good. We got spicy tuna, Tokyo tuna and California roll covered in seafood. Hit the spot. Perfectly made. Only two people running the joint and they are efficient and friendly. We will be coming back. read more

Tokyo House Restaurant - Fooooood - Japanese Near Me - Arlington, Washington

Teriyaki at least is extremely expensive. Oh, and none of the employees on the floor were wearing masks, which is currently required for employees in WA working around customers. Even the person preparing food had no mask on. Had I known this business was being so pointlessly irresponsible, I would not have come by. I definitely won't be back. Who knows what other public health mandates they don't feel like following? Washing their hands? read more

Went here for the first time recently with one other person-- this is a close friend's favorite spot for sushi in the north-of-Seattle region. As others have mentioned, the waitress had absolutely no people skills and did the bare minimum. She hollered across the restaurant to greet every person who walked in the door and pushed a wheeled cart around to bus tables. I explained it was our first time to the restaurant and asked how the menu works along with the several handwritten whiteboards on the walls. She said she didn't know descriptions for the whiteboard food but could ask the chef if we wanted to know any in particular. Not a great way to sell menu items. We ordered miso soup and 3 rolls. The soup was excellent, very onion-forward which I like. The rolls were bland and TINY for the price. $18 for a 5-piece roll, even being large pieces, I expected to be blown away by the creativity and flavor. California roll was 8 smaller pieces but tasted entirely of mayonnaise. We overheard a conversation between the chef and waitress-- the California roll was premade and brought to us almost immediately after ordering. That's perfectly fine if it was made earlier in the day as a basic roll to have on hand or someone else had ordered and cancelled. Hearing the chef ask what table it was for and looking over at us then handing it to the waitress while laughing really rubbed me the wrong way. It was definitely refrigerator-cold. About 5 minutes into the drive home, both of us were hit with intense stomach pains. My stomach was in pain the rest of the night and felt off for a few days after. A big letdown in every way. read more

Decent Japanese restaurant. Didn't get to try the sushi but the table next to us ordered some rolls that looked good. There was o my one waitress, but we got seated right away and got served timely. Ordered a couple of bento specials -- katsu bento and chicken teriyaki bento. Both were good. Haven't tried any other Japanese restaurant in the are so nothing to compare it to. If I'm in the area, I might come back and try sushi next time. read more

A group of us dined here for our friends birthday party. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Reservations are accepted. Large parties are requested to pre-order rolls before arrival. Tabs were easily split. Indoors is small and clean. The front counter showcases fresh colorful seafood. One can also sit at this counter and watch the magic happen. Tokyo House offers Sake, Asian beer and a slim selection of wine. My wife ordered a bottle of Sapporo for $7.99 and I ordered a glass of Cab for $6. For starters I ordered a cup of Miso Soup for $2.50: seaweed, tofu and green onions is soybean broth. Tasty and served at the perfect temperature. My wife ordered the Chicken Teriyaki for $9.99: boneless chicken in teriyaki sauce served with white rice and a side salad. My wife stated that she enjoyed her dinner choice. I ordered the Spider Roll (5 pieces) for $12.99. My roll was visually appealing and delectable. I'm a sushi novice so I'm unsure of pricing; however, I found my roll to be a bit expensive for the amount received. My daughter ordered the Mexican Roll (5 pieces) for $8.99. I ended up enjoying this roll better than the Spider Roll. Much more flavorful with a mild hint of spice. Delightful. Service was slow (not a big deal to our group since we were visiting one another) and friendly. Tokyo House has room for improvement where tabs are concerned. Each of our tabs were delivered on a handwritten receipt showing only the total charge and tax. Future receipts should be delivered showing itemization (description and price) to ensure correct charges are being applied. Overall, we had a great time. Food was delish but on the expensive side per my daughter who is a sushi connoisseur and my pocketbook. read more

obsessed TOKYO HOUSE ARLINGTON WA It's hard to find a #sushi joint randomly that is impressive and even harder to find one you could say was epic. This is worth the trip to Arlington. If this wasn't the owner at the sushi bar and family as our server, I would be shocked. The service was killer. The place was empty when we arrived and people waiting when we left and our service, even though only one server, was spectacular from start to finish. The chefs roll is the chefs kiss to this menu. Good gravy this roll was delicious. The tuna, yellow tail and salmon sushi melted in my mouth like butter as well. So fresh. The Puget Sound roll was delicious because, come on, avocado and cream cheese are in love, like truly passionately in love and are meant to be together nestled into their salmon and seaweed blanket. The house roll was spectacular because again, salmon + avocado + yellowtail are proof that the world can truly achieve happiness through the right combination of things.

This place has always been 5 stars for me. The food is great, sushi is amazing (the best I've had outside of Seattle and San Francisco). The family who owns this place takes great care in what they do, their relationships with customers are important and they're just very sweet, kind people. Recently my girlfriends brought me here for my birthday; after dinner our waitress/hostess brought out a cake my friend had left with her earlier ... the friend who set this dinner up said the woman was very helpful. We shared 3 huge rolls, (my fave: spicy tempura tuna, Oso roll, and a spider), plus a big family style plate of teriyaki, rice, and perfectly cooked tempura veggies (I could just eat a whole dinner of those alone too!). I hadn't been here in a while but I won't let that happen again! read more

I have been here only twice. Both times the service and food was really good. Prices are higher than usual. I don't like the seats. It's all wood. No cushions. There are no partitions in the whole dining room so it can get loud and/or awkward when people talk loud or get on their own cell phones while dining in. read more

Love theirs sushi. Good service, clean place. A little bit overpriced as for me. Want to be more rich to come again. Anyway. Everything was ok. read more

Great food, Jay the chef knows his business with sushi wonderful people amazing service.

Way too pricey for flavor and quality. Sadly disappointed, the sushi rolls were super sweet and drowning in sauce. Not worth the hefty price, I don't mind spending money on quality but they missed that mark. Go south for sushi and save some money read more

Sushi and service were excellent. The music they were playing also created nice ambiance.

Food was tasteless and not fresh. How do you get Edamame wrong?!?! Terrible sushi. Service was non-existent and occasionally rude. I was shocked to her our server say to my wife, "I heard you the first time" in an loud, mean tone. My wife is very pleasant and in no way invoked this response. I was ready to walk then but my family asked we give it a go...bad decision. 2 rolls, 1 bowl edamame, 1 side salad and 2 sapporros and it came to $105?!?!?!?!? Insanely overpriced for crappy food (both rolls tasted the same). We didn't even fill up and had to go buy snacks elsewhere. Interesting side note...the next night we went to the Bonefish grill where all 3 of us enjoyed an appetizer, entrees and beer. Total cost: $105. Skip this place! read more

My husband and I were so happy to find this little gem hidden in Arlington. We LOVE sushi and are very particular about our fish. The chef is absolutely amazing. To be honest, we weren't expecting anything near this quality so far north. We often do takeout but the staff is amazing for dine in as well. read more

There are less than a handful of sushi spots in Arlington. This is the best if you're free wanting a sushi fix. I recommend you eat here if you have a lot of time in your hands. I only rate it three stars because it takes quite a bit of time to get your sushi. Other foods like teriyaki chicken and gyoza get to your table fast but not sushi. There's one to two sushi chefs. It's a small venue so it's a little more intimate. Do not get wine. I got Chardonnay and it seemed flat, almost like they served me a glass of wine from a bottle of wine that has been opened for a few days. I got a Mexican roll which was nice and spicy however the seaweed was a little tough and not easy to eat. read more

We went to have dinner and the place was busy on a Friday night. There were open tables and the waitress asked us to wait while she served other customers. We waited about 5 minutes and another couple came in behind us. The waitress then came up to us and said "we are maxed out. No table for you. I'm sorry" and dismissed us. As we were leaving, she asked the couple behind us "Hi, table for two?". It was obvious our service was just not welcomed. It was us two adults with our young son who is very well behaved. We saw other children in the restaurant so we are unsure why we would be so rudely dismissed. We will not be coming back and I'm happy to share our experience with others. read more

Hmmmm. Too expensive for the foods they provided. They're even more expensive than Japanese restaurants in Seattle or Bellevue. This restaurant is far from authentic Japanese cuisine. I ordered salmon bento special and the salmon was very very tiny.... Over all, the taste is flat, too expensive for portion, and I don't recommend. P.S. they don't even have green tea or any types of Asian teas. read more
