On our drive back to California from Reno, I was seriously craving sushi. I searched along our route and Tokyo House Japanese Restaurant popped up on both Google and Yelp with decent reviews, so my husband and I decided to give it a try. We ordered a few sushi rolls, a rice plate with beef and vegetables, and chicken potstickers. I'll start with the positives: the woman who took our order over the phone was very kind and professional, and our food was ready right on time when we arrived. The restaurant itself was also very clean, which we appreciated. We took everything to go since we were continuing our road trip. Unfortunately, once we started eating, we were really disappointed. While the pricing was reasonable, the food quality just didn't match the reviews. The beef had almost no flavor, the rice was bland, and the overall dish felt very under-seasoned. The sushi was simply okay not terrible, but not something I'd go out of my way for. The biggest letdown, though, was the chicken potstickers. They were burned on the outside and when we opened them up, there was barely any filling inside. They tasted dry and overcooked, which was really disappointing. It wasn't a horrible experience overall, but definitely not memorable in a good way. Would I come back? No. Would I recommend it? Probably not. The service and cleanliness were solid, but when it comes to Japanese food, flavor and execution matter most and unfortunately, this just didn't deliver for us. read more

3.25 stars. The service was good, sushi tasted good, and we enjoyed our experience up to a certain point. My main concern is the poor quality of the fresh herbs topping the sushi. The green onions were old and dry. I had never seen such unfresh green onions being presented to me before. I was like, wow, they must have an inexperienced chef working on Friday night. We decided to order one last roll from the specials-- it was called Bam Crunch. We waited a long time for this to come to our table, even the server noticed it had been a while. You would think that in the 20+ minutes it took for this one roll that they could have found some decent cilantro, even if that meant a quick trip to Stater Bros. The cilantro was worse than the green onions, and I was just disappointed at this point. How does a sushi chef let something like this stay in the kitchen instead of composting it or throwing it in the trash? Please don't disrespect your patrons like this. This is not fast food, nor is it inexpensive. Also, the maki are smaller than at other Japanese restaurants. I would rather drive to the AV the next time we want sushi. read more

The food was delicious and Leo (the owner) made me special sushi when I told him I'm vegetarian. They also cooked some rice without butter for one of my friends and special rice for other (food allergies). They went above and beyond with their food. AMAZING!! The atmosphere is very beautiful and look very much like Japan (yes, I have been there). We are very lucky to have this kind of restaurant in our town ;) A+++++++++ read more

Tokyo House - Teppanyaki Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

Foot was really good,service Excellent. The drinks were delicious, i'll be back tomorrow.

everything was simply amazing. I usually sit at the sushi bar, where the variety is impressive and the chefs are always willing to customize dishes to meet my needs. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the tea complemented the meal perfectly. What really stands out is how exceptional Tokyo House is, considering it's located in the middle of the desert. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service makes the entire experience even better. Highly recommend Tokyo House to anyone looking for authentic Japanese flavors and a memorable dining experience. read more

I'm so sad to hear this place is closing! My experience will likely be my first and last due to their closure soon. However, I will say that I enjoyed the entertainment of the chef and he was very generous in portioning our food. This is your typical family ran establishment doing the best they can, nothing fancy. I enjoyed my tender steak but my lobster was a little overcooked. I hear that there isn't another place like this in Ridgecrest, best of luck! read more

Best teppanyaki west of the Mississippi!!!! And they put the Dodgers on TV for us! 6 stars!!!

My family and I sought to make the most of our last summer, and we opted for Tokyo House. The service was exceptional, and the cuisine was outstanding; our waiter demonstrated great attentiveness to all guests at our table. Notably. read more

We went to Tokyo house as a last minute pick not expecting much. Once we got there it was busy but they fit us in quickly. Everyone helping was super nice throughout our visit too. Once we got seated we got some appetizers and was told there was going to be a wait because a limited number of chefs, but it only took about 10 minutes. The food was better than I had expected and the albacore was pretty good. The ambiance was kinda basic but was made up for by the service. Shoutouts to the kind lady at the front with glasses, and our server Hannah! 5/5 service for sure read more

Food was good. Service was a little slow. It they were full and crowded. We had 6 in our party.

They used to have great owner entertainment before the new owners came in. It seems like they don't know how to entertain anymore. I have one guy he just wasn't very good and it seems like he just started. He knows how to use salt that's for sure way too salty sorry they used to give you soup and sell it which was great now it's an up sale. The food was horrible. Almost didn't take the leftovers cause it's just too salty. The place has gone down. read more

Best sushi and chefs in 100 miles I took my ex-wife there for our rehersal dinner

Sevice is great, as always. However, since the change in ownership food has gone down in quality. The sushi no longer seems as fresh as it once as, and the food from the grill has gone downhill. Unfortunately I won't be returning. read more

Tokyo House was about to close for good when someone bought it to keep it open. It's always been one of our favorite places for great food, sushi, fun, and atmosphere. Went back to check out how it was going with the new owner and mind blown. Leo is the new owner and master sushi chef. Wound up talking with him and our awesome server Sylvia. Best sushi I've ever had hands down. My wife, brother, and I loved it. I didn't think it could get better but Leo raised the bar. The lobster roll was awesome and the cold cock was fantastic. Going to make it our weekly date night. Thank you Leo! read more

Best sushi place in town. You have to sit at the hibachi grill and order their teriyaki tofu--it's divine!

I didn't realize the ownership changed. The soup and salad tasted the same but everything else tasted different. I'm not a fan of the changes in flavors. One of the shrimp in my food was mushy (I've never experienced that before). The yaki rolls seem to have a thicker wrapper, are not deep fried, and has a completely different dipping sauce. read more

so, I don't know if this specific Tokyo house is in Ridgcrest California but the chef that was cooking for us was saying weird adult jokes and asked my niece if she spoke Spanish since they were saying rude jokes and offensive jokes he had very slow service. this was the Mexican chef read more

Our favorite dinner spot in ridgecrest! Delicious food and excellent service. Highly recommend read more

Passing through and found this gem. Wasn't sure about sushi in the middle of nowhere but it was late, they were open (and packed!) and we were hungry. Glad we stopped. Fast service, the rolls were on the smaller side but had good flavor. Wish we had seen the specials sign before ordering bc they were more complex and we would have ordered those over the menu options. read more

This was so awesome the sushi was off the hook ended up eating almost 5 rolls myself. Cold Cock, Longhorn, Super Dragon, Tiger Roll and a Chef Special! The owner and the server interacted with us which made it a great experience overall! read more

I'd say the food was a 3 stars. Was hopeful for slightly better sushi rolls. Sushi bar, teppen yucky available, regular set down too. Pretty attentive service, so that's a bonus. Ambiance is rather like early 1970s shaggy carpet, without the carpet. read more

Surprisingly good sushi for such a small town. Reasonable prices and nice sized cuts of fish on your sushi. They also have a full bar if that's your thing. read more

I got two take-out orders of steak and shrimp hibachi off the dinner menu, priced at 25.95. After taxes it came out to $62. Pricey. Not surprised, it's Ridgecrest. Was greeted, service was fine. As for the food, the steaks were tasty, but our shrimp was definitely overcooked. Wouldn't suggest getting shrimp. Glad I didn't order scallops. Sauce was nice, vegetables were good, the fried rice was okay. Miso wasn't the best, but the salad was good. I enjoyed the ginger dressing. They only had two other sauces neither of which was yumyum/bangbang. Disappointing. When we got to our destination to eat we realized they didn't put any silverware or napkins in the bag. Overall, it's okay. Have yet to try the sushi. read more

While on our travel we, we met this lovely couple who recommended this place. Once at Ridgecrest, we had dinner here. Great choice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. 5/5 Atmosphere was lively. Would highly recommend. There is a wait to get your food but I think that's normal since they are so busy. It was worth the wait. read more

Food was great!! I really miss in dining. I ordered my favorite eel roll and the tiger roll which is spicy and delicious. My husband got the filet and shrimp dinner which came with soup,salad,veggies,and garlic fried rice. We also got a large hot sake togo as well but, it wasn't a large. More like a small but, what ya gonna do. All and all the food was great and flavorful. I will definitely be back. Hopefully when this damn COVID19 is over we can dine in. read more

This place never disappoints! I've come here in groups and I've come here with my boyfriend and enjoyed the ambience the food and the service every single time. Everything is delicious and presentation is also spot on. I recommend this place. read more

I have only been here once but it was good! I will definitely go back again just because I love sushi! The menu is decent and a lot of choices on food, Asian beer, and wine. The place is quiet and good lighting to see and they do teppanyaki. The prices are reasonable! I was there early so the wait time was quick! read more

My family and I got to Tokyo at least twice a month! The sushi is fresh and my kids love the show. Staff is friendly and attentive. Owners care about the product and if something is wrong will fix it! read more

This used to be my favorite sushi restaurant in Ridgecrest. They have recently come under new ownership and the food has changed. My son had the teriyaki chicken sober noodles, and the soba noodles were not cooked properly. The vegetables weren't cooked, and the soba noodles had changed completely. The chicken was very tiny and hard to find in the noodles. The sushi does not taste the same as he used to, it's sad to hear that the owners had to Sell so they could go home to take care of their parents. read more

We love Tokyo House. It's a bit of a Benihana feel right here in Ridgecrest. We always get the Shaggy Dog for sushi, and their Filet & Shrimp meal with Fried Rice is so good. The Filet is much better than their regular steak, worth the extra few dollars they charge for Filet. Salad dressing is so good, and they have great cocktails. read more

If I could put zero stars I would. The new management/owners (Linda and Leo) are terrible and unwelcoming. They are complete amateurs at running a business. You can see how horrible they treat their bussers and servers. I don't recommend coming here. read more

I was tempted to give this sushi spot 5 stars to balance it out. I liked how all the sushi rolls were bite-sized and well balanced. Both the super dragon and rainbow rolls were solid, but the special Bam Crunch roll stood out. The kids enjoyed the calamari tempera, miso soup, edamame, salmon and salmon/avocado rolls. They also have a bunch of Japanese grills that I hope to try next time I'm visiting Death Valley. read more

Great restaurant! Delicious food that is prepared right at your place. The prices are moderate. Of course, more expensive than in fast-food restaurants, but the quality is one level higher. I recommend! read more

Tokyo House - Our meat is preparing right here!! - Teppanyaki Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

One of my favorite places to get fresh sushi and sashimi. I highly recommend sitting at the grill table to have one of their awesome chefs entertain you with their cooking skills. Every time family comes to town I make sure to bring them here and they love it. I highly recommend stopping by and giving this restaurant a try. Besides the food...the drinks may not be up to par, but they sure are cheap and strong which still is still good. I did take off one star because their carpet was grossly dirty. They definitely need to renovate and put some elbow grease into cleaning up the restaurant. read more
