Restaurant that has a small seating area, but gets a steady stream of customers doing take-out. This place is convenient because it's across from Price Mart. I use to go to this place years ago, and it was pretty good. But I think the quality changed. If your looking for basic tuna and salmon sashimi, this place isn't bad for price and portion. Tuna tataki was comparable in price, but they don't give you the proper sauce. Chicken Karage was very disappointing. It didn't look or tasted like karage at all.
I ordered a bunch of sushi rolls with my family because I was craving sushi. Tokyo joe is pretty affordable, although prices have gone up a bit for to inflation. :( Overall the sushi was ok. Alaska roll was my favorite. But we were disappointed with the dynamite roll. We had ordered 2 and although the rolls were gigantic, they were filled with lots of imitation crab meat, some cucumbers and only had one shrimp tempera that was a bit soggy. There was no avocado and if they made the roll smaller, it might taste more balanced.
Worst oshi sushi I have ever had. Not coming back. This more like a fast food place. Too many sushi rolls with lots of rice.
We came here on a recommendation and we're so grateful we did. The fish is incredibly fresh, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the rolls were amazing! We are experienced PNW sushi eaters and considered this to be some of the best sushi and nigiri we've had. It's clear this is a local favorite; in the hour we were there the owner welcomed multiple customers by name. 10 out of 10!
This was a picnic experience with friends at a nearby park. We figured sushi is good picnic food, so we got some takeouts from Tokyo Joes. We got a DX spicy combo, Unagi don and my friend got a combo with miso soup, chicken teriyaki, and a California roll. They were fast and the presentation of the food was nice. (Photo ready) considering they are in takeout boxes. The portions were very decent, particularly the unagi don. I haven't had that in a while and most places nowadays are skimping down on the fish. These guys however were quite generous with the amount they lay on the rice. Flavoring for both the Don and the Sushi was good. The DX combo came with some spicy tuna sashimi, tuna roll, nigitoro roll, and they pretty much just covered everything with a bit of that spicy mayo. It's their quick and dirty way of making everything "spicy" but I don't mind that, it worked for me. Overall, I've enjoyed the meal. Definitely a great option for budget sushi in Richmond. One thing to note tho, they don't have a proper website with a recent menu these days, so when you search for these guys, Doordash and Skip will be the first things that pop up. If you are planning to pick those up anyways, call their store directly instead of going through the app. Pricing is like 5-10% cheaper that way. Food 9 Service 8 Ambiance N/A Value 10
Tokyo Joe's is a Korean-run sushi restaurant in the heart of Richmond that offers a variety of dishes at moderate price points. This is not my go-to sushi place, but I order from them once in a while for convenience since they have really quick service. You can typically walk in to place your order and be out the door in 10-15 minutes. The food is mediocre at best and reminiscent of Japanese food you might find in your local grocery stores (like PriceSmart next door, although personally I find PriceSmart's sushi/sashimi to be of better quality). The sushi rolls are packed rather loosely and and fall apart once you pick them up, so you have to be careful when eating them. As for the sashimi quality, do not expect the best quality cuts. All that aside, this is a decent choice to fulfill your Japanese cravings if you are in the area but there are better food options nearby.
I went here on July7th (Saturday) for a lunch and Yelp showed me Tokyo Joe in Richmond so I went there. Although I thought TJS is owned by Chinese owners, turns out this is Korean owned sushi place. So I ordered TJ Combo 1 ($12.95) that came with Cali Roll with 5pcs of Sashimi. Food was satisfying; however nothing special about it for the price and the taste. I kinda wished I had more for that price. I should've ordered something else or go to another sushi place in my personal opinion. I liked the free Miso soup for my food though. Service was fast.
Always such a pleasure coming by! The people and the atmosphere is simply enjoyable! The food is always so amazing! We've been coming by for around a year and each time we visit, they never disappoint but instead keep getting better! The service is so quick and the food is so fresh! Applause to the owner for keeping up such amazing work!
If you've got a sushi craving you just can't shake, then look no further cause Tokyo Joe's got you covered. Support this local business! For what it is, this place has pretty much everything you could expect of a simple sushi joint. Operated by a full staff of friendly Koreans, Tokyo Joe offers a wide variety of the tried and true Japanese dishes at an affordable price and with decent quality. Some of the items I've ordered in the past: Crazy Roll - very good, tasty Red Dynamite Roll - good portion size Tuna and Salmon Combo - very good value, large nigiri sushi, good quality salmon Maki Combo A - good value, large portions One of the things that immediately stood out to me about Tokyo Joe's sushi was the portion sizes for the items I ordered. For all four items above, I paid about $50.00 including taxes and tips. For feeding two or three people, that's not bad at all! The nigiri sushi sizes were almost on par with what you'd find at Samurai Sushi or Banzai Sushi - they were extraordinarily larger than normal. Also, the Red Dynamite Roll pieces were so large they could barely fit in my mouth. Portions aside, it only took them 15 minutes to prepare my order! None of my rolls fell apart while eating so that's a testament to how Tokyo Joe works with speed, but doesn't sacrifice presentation. If I could give half-stars, my real review would be to give 4.5 stars to Tokyo Joe. For me, the tuna in the sushi I ordered were too fishy-tasting. I also want to point out that, while I was ordering for pick-up over the phone, the server answering my call hung up the phone near the end of our conversation before I was finished speaking, probably because she thought I wasn't going to add any more comments after stating my order. I thought it was a tiny bit rude, but I'm sure she didn't mean it so I can let it slide. In person, service was friendly and on-point! Overall, a great place to get sushi in Richmond if you're on a budget. Plenty of parking in the back btw!
Cheap and delicious! One of the hidden gems in Richmond in my opinion. You can get a filling meal (ex: spicy combo) for less than $12 (incl tax and tip). Service is really fast. Everytime i call in to order take-out they'll be ready for me in 15 minutes. Free parking at Staples nearby. Sushi rolls are great. However was not a huge fan of their takoyaki (a bit soggy)
This a decent sushi place. Ambience: 2/5 This place seems like a quick grab and go place or slightly themed lunch room. Food: 3/5 Decent flavours, a roll I recommend is the unagi roll. Presentation is cute, the sushi is okay. Mouth feel was pretty good for sushi. Mango was very stringy, rice is okay, the special rolls have great flavour combos especially the Tokyo Joe and the Super Spicy tuna roll should go easier on the sauce on the roll though, but still cute. Service: 2.5/5 I felt slightly judged by one of the service staff because as I was ordering she told me that I ordered enough. I had to insist on getting my other rolls as well. Other staff was nice and food came out quick. Worth: 2.5/5 It was nice trying a new place but for the price and the side of judgement I shall not go back
came here for a quick bite today and left satisfied. its a small mom and pop shop that tries its best to please customers and go above and beyond. portions are huge and prices affordable. taste is average..but at least fresh and will leave you satisfied. ordered salmon sashimi , beef teri rolls and smoked salmon rolls. sashimi pieces were huge. good marbling and very tender. no fishy smell so you know its not been sitting around too long. plus biz here is brisk...many take outs and dine -ins so turnover is good. beef teri rolls were big too. so tasty and filling. same for the smoked salmon rolls. i just wanted a quick snack and this place filled the spot. bonus: if u dine-in, unlimited miso soup! wow! servers very very attentive! whatever you needed came really quick. they made you feel very welcome and made sure you had everything you need. 1 thing to note is that when you get the bill, they will automatically tack on a 15% gratuity, but then tell you its not mandatory, but will ask you if this is ok. lol! some may find this condescending and offensive, but hey...i'll leave that to our dear readers and eaters! i would come back to take out for sure. cheers! happy eating!!

Insane Value. The party trays are the way to go, with tons of variety and food in general for great prices. I will say that there was a bit too much rice on the rolls which lowered the quality. Ordered pick up through their website and the were prompt and communicative even with a massive order. Restaurant looked cute, small amount of seating and likely a go to for locals looking for an affordable meal! read more

Tokyo Joe is one of our go-to place for sushi in Richmond. It's conveniently located and lots of food choices. You can choose to dine in or take out. We used to dine in more often, enjoy their self served miso soup, but lately with a kid we prefer to take out and eat at the comfort of home. The rolls are always freshly made. We love the rolls with crispy noodles on top and eel inside (forgot what it's called). They have lots of variety as well, including lots of vegetarian options. I also like their nigiri sushi, can always expect fresh ingredients from them. Price is right for the quality and taste. Must try! :) read more

I love crossing the border to get decent sushi for a reasonable price. I have to admit the sushi in this little joint is way better than what I would get where I live. It's such a shame because I probably would have paid twice the price here in Washington State for what's considered average sushi in the Richmond Area. The pros of this restaurant is the service. The waiters are attentive and they are super efficient. We also got our food right away and we were given complimentary miso soup which is itself great! The sushi is good. The fish is great and the cuts are decent. The price is very reasonable. We got a party platter and it was great for us- a family of 4. Although the rolls are good, I wasn't super impressed with them. I just feel like we've had better rolls somewhere else. Maybe it's just a fact that these rolls were prepared for someone else because they were served 5 minutes after we sat? I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars because we spent about $60 CDN with tip. They're not the best sushi that we got in the area but they're still pretty decent. Parking wise, park your car in designated areas. Parking up front is limited for 15 minutes. read more

Tokyo Joe is my new go to sushi spot in Richmond. I discovered this place about 3 weeks ago (thanks to Yelp) and have already been back 4 times. I love them that much. A few reasons why I love this spot: + Unpretentious, but delicious sushi. You kind of get hole in the wall vibes when you walk in, but the quality of the sushi is fantastic. + Quick, efficient service. From sitting down, to ordering, to the food coming out, it all took less than 10 minutes. I was amazed with how quickly the food came out, I had to ask our server if it was ours. + Free miso soup. You read that right. But I will repeat... they serve free miso soup. + Free spacious parking in the plaza next to the restaurant. This is defintiely a pro for Richmond. A couple sushi rolls/dishes I've tried and loved: + Mango cali roll + Crazy roll + Deep fried dynamite roll + Unagi roll + Fire dynamite roll + Dragon roll + Gyoza Like I said, I've been here 4 times already have not had a bad experience. I most definitely will be back again soon. read more

Know sushitown? Its exactly like that.. but less in everyway, except for their service! Which is definitely a good thing. Korean owned, but doesn't have the korean pow to it, as Sushitown does. Atleast at sushitown I can always rely on their really flavorful spicy sashimi (with nice korean hot sauce). At Tokyo Joe's.. everything was sloppy sushi, and the quality of the sashimi wasn't as appealing. I will push again that their service was great! (Even got free miso soup and edamame beans). They're loud and entertaining too, but unfortunately.. the only thing that they've got going for their food.. is their portions and price. I guess everyone needs that at times. read more

Busy eatery with regulars dining in and taking out. 5 free parking spots. Free tea and miso soup with order. Portions are fresh and generous. Enjoyed the gomae. Had the Dynamite Combo. The Dynamite Roll was huge, could only finish 3 out of the 5 huge pieces each with ample crab meat. The Tuna, Salmon and Ebi took three mouthfuls each to consume. Would come back if I were in the area. Prices are reasonable too. The staff are pretty loud though read more
Came here for the Tokyo Joe's after the Tokyo Joe. Felt like coming in for a snack (Tokyo Joe across the street has small portions, but I digress), and ended up here. In case you're wondering, these locations have the same owner (same uniform and everything), but they are NOT the same as the Tokyo Joe's in downtown Vancouver. I asked. Parking here is available in the covered lot nearby, with some 5 spots directly in front. The interior is pretty ghetto, with floor tiles and beaten up walls. The staff were Korean (surprising!) but were very friendly and attentive. As I was only here for a snack, I didn't get to try too much. I settled for the Richmond Roll ($5.50) which is salmon and.. orange. Yes, the fruit. I had to give this a go. It doesn't work too well. The orange wasn't too fresh either. It was quite dry. I don't think the Richmond Roll will be surpassing the Alaska, California, or BC rolls in terms of popularity anytime soon. My friend Vincent N. had the gyoza. I gave it a try. It's the frozen type. You can tell. Oh, and they're bite-sized. One plus here is that there is free unlimited miso soup (served out of a big pot by the back wall), with a giant bowl of chopped green onions too. I totally loaded up to compensate I was still hungry. And this is the dinner after the dinner. Maybe the other types of sushi are better. Only 1 way to find out. read more

I have a friend from work who is obsessed with this place so I decided to check it out to see what it was all about. I got a TJ combo that came with a dynamite roll and 5 pieces of sashimi. The roll was large and it came stuffed with imitation crab meat, one shrimp tempura and some yam tempura. Not bad for the price but the tempura had been cooked for a while and were quite soggy. Not terrible but nothing special. The sashimi were a standard size to any fast food sushi joint but the quality was only okay. I've had fresher fish elsewhere. I also ordered their Soo Special which is an inari (bean curd) pocket stuffed with JUST spicy tuna sashimi. No rice. This was by far the best item in terms of quality, taste, and price point. Miso soup and tea are complimentary here. I ate in and found the service a little stifling since I was sitting close to the register and they kept walking around me. I appreciated the thought but wouldn't have minded some breathing room. All in all this was a pretty standard take out joint and next time I'll stick with the tried and true. read more

Chicken teriyaki bowl 7/10 Not really chicken teriyaki :( more like grilled chicken breast with teriyaki sauce Assorted tempura 8.5/10 Nice and crispy Vegetables fried nicely and served hot Takoyaki 7.5/10 Not bad but they do add a dot of wasabi mayo which is a little odd. Not very crispy and mostly batter Tamago roll 8/10 Solid roll but personally not my favourite Negotori roll 7/10 Just tuna with green onion, it's alright but I won't get again. A great place to go to if you're looking for something fast Service is quick and efficient free miso soup!! read more
