I like this place because I like poke but my husband doesn't but he'll eat sushi (welcome to my life) so we can get both here. Always very fresh, online order is ready, and staff is pleasant. I get the combo poke so it has tuna and salmon with the half and half so I get salad and brown rice...very fresh! read more

I've only been here twice and it was take-out both times. The Bento box is super cool. U can create your own meal! The bowls are great too. The regular size is plenty food!! You gotta stop by here and check it out sometime! read more

This food chain, is now added to my favorite food places to. The people are super friendly and professional. The restaurant is always clean and boasts a modern atmosphere. I even heard this restaurant mention on the JohnJay and Rich show. The loyal card also have awesome benefits, too. From free drinks to entries, it encourage me to bring a friend to enjoy the Japanese culture infused food. Although the food is fast, it is healthy. Similar to what Chipotle did for Mexican fast food, Tokyo Joe's is doing for Japanese cuisine. on't forget to pick an Addict card, because after the first visit you will become one. read more

My family and I came here for the first time and none of us liked the food, it didn't taste fresh and it had no flavor. Yogis grill is much better. read more

We had never heard of this place before so we decided to stop in for a late lunch earlier this week. So glad we did! It is an "order at the counter and pay first" place. After ordering they give you a number and bring your food to your table. One criticism right off the bat is that there are so many options to choose from but you can't begin to select them until you are right up at the counter. They need to have a menu further back or little paper menus available to review before you get in line. We decided to try their Shrimp Spring Rolls as they are one of my favorite Asian appetizers. I was not disappointed at all. I love the fact that they were filled with just the good stuff (greens, shrimp, carrots, and avocado) and none of the normal rice noodles that just tend to fill me up. They were served with two different dipping sauces. One was your traditional peanut sauce and it was OK but my favorite was the soy ginger sauce. I ordered the tuna poke bowl with brown rice. I selected edamame, avocado, and cucumber as my pairings. The dressing I selected was their Nikko dressing, which is a very light and refreshing soy ginger dressing. I then topped it off with wonton chips, fresh ginger, and green onions. I have to say that it was totally delicious! It tasted so fresh and healthy. And with so many options and variations I could eat at this place every day for a week or more and not get tired of it! Hubby got pretty much the same thing as me with the traditional Hawaiian dressing and opted for the sweet onions instead of the avocado. It was tasty too! They have a serve yourself beverage area with a wide selection of iced teas. Service was fairly fast and the gal that took our order was extremely bubbly and excited to tell us about their "Addict Club" in which you collect points for dining in order to get free stuff as well as the buy one get one free sushi on Mondays after 4 PM. The bathrooms were clean however hubby said the men's room did not have any paper towels. I definitely see this place becoming a regular of ours and hopefully one will open up closer downtown by my work! read more

I had heard good things about this place and decided to try it out with my mom for the first time. I told her I'd heard great reviews so we both went in with high expectations. I'm not sure if other locations prepare their food differently, but at this location it just was not what I expected. Water from the fountain machine tastes awful...(but I wasn't charged for it so I guess that's a risk you take). Chicken was decent, sauce was fine, but the veggies were so awful. I'm not sure how to describe the taste. Perhaps freezer burned with a metal like after taste that ruined the whole dish. Sadly disappointed and wouldn't want to dine here again. read more

Cold and wet outside and they tell me they HAVE TO leave the door to the outside hang wide open. It was absolutely too cold in the restaurant to even enjoy the $30 I spent on two people to eat at this establishment. If you wish to stay warm on this Christmas Eve Day while getting your last minute errands done do NOT stop here for a warm meal bc you will freeze your butt off. read more

Gross. Don't waste your money or time. Had a chicken bowl with curry and vegetables, no taste but extremely spicy. Yuck!

OMG, this was a absolute surprise. My daughter dragged me in and found the food to be so good. My daughter had the Raman and I created my own bowl. All the ingredients are fresh from the vegetables to the protein. Kinda of get tired having the same burger and fries all the time. Can't wait to go back. read more

First time at this place took about 20 mins to get my order paid for the large bowl and got the Regular. I ordered Build your bowl - chicken and just veggies. The bowl was halfway filled with water and no flavor what so ever. The sushi rolls were not fresh and the cashier was clueless. Bill was 19.00 and change. Not worth 5! read more

I tried this place out for the first time today. I placed my to go order in person(lettuce wraps & a bowl) at 11:30 it took them 30mins to make my order, I am not exaggerating, I walked out of the place at 12. Sit down restaurants can get food out faster than that. As I'm sitting here finishing my first lettuce wrap I look over to find all the other pieces of lettuce are filthy with clumps of dirt(see pics), not even remotely washed. Needless to say I'm not going to finish this below average tasting dirty food. I observed while waiting 30 mins for my food that the line cooks had approximately 10-15 orders backed up on the printer (see pics), and the cooks let them sit there for at least ten minutes. Sometimes waiting is understandable when a place is just having a bad moment. They were not any busier than any other comparable restaurant type for lunch hours. Waiting 30 mins for dirty lettuce and my friend's over cooked steak bowl not worth it! read more

Have been to this location several times since it has opened. Food is always fresh, app orders always have been correct and ready on time. Staff is helpful and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone. Awesome sushi specials on Monday. read more

Man, the wait for 45 minutes for my shrimp spring rolls and my sushi roll.l was unacceptable. On a Monday night at 7:30pm. Probably poor training and management. read more

First time here. Pretty delicious. Made my own bowl. Double veggie, white meat chicken, scrambled egg with gluten free teriyaki sauce. I LOVE THAT they use fresh vegetables and know how to properly cook them so they keep their texture. Healthy, huge portion for regular sized bowl, definitely two meals worth. My only complaint is that the carrots and onions are diced instead of sliced. Makes eating them with a fork a little annoying. Should be sliced for easier eating. I also liked their tea selection. Winner. read more

Tokyo Joe's - Build you own bowl. Regular size. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

Was driving by and figured I'd stop by and try this new place. Very clean establishment. I ended up ordering a Arizona Roll and Texas Roll, they didn't really have a lot of sushi selection as I expected. Both the Arizona Roll and Texas Roll were pretty bland. Not much flavor to it and there wasn't really any meat in Texas Roll. I didn't think it was worth the price of $7.50. I would of given it a 3 star for the food, but it took a long time to get the food as well and there wasn't anyone in there. Maybe I'll give it a try one more time in the future and update the review at that time. read more

This is the 2nd time I have gone after a ling day of work and the messed up my Veggie Bowl. Whhhyyyyyyy !!! You did not give me half of the veggies I asked for Mercedes !!!! Whhyyyyy Mercedes do you hate me? You dont know me for crap. Why were you so friendly to the everyone but me today. I was watching you the entire time, Yes I was watching. You did not smile or even speak to me nice as you did others after me. The point is CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU WALK OUT AND GET HOME !! Twice you failed me . Whyyy !! read more

It's our second visit to this location. The food is good, but service sucks. Our food did not come out at the same time, which should not be too difficult for two people. The Tofu Bento was Chicken instead, looked at the receipt and found it was punched in as Chicken Bento, not Tofu. Asked to have it changed, as we did order Tofu Bento in the first place. She took the receipt and the food back. It took them quite a while to get the food back out. Then she did not give us the difference in the price or the receipt back. It was all done with no conversation and indifferent attitude. We will not be going back there again. read more

Iv been to this Tokyo Joes a few times and am always very pleased by their level of excellent customer service. From the cashiers to the sushi chef to the food preps. Today I found out about their BOGO sushi deals on Monday and excited for that. Thanks for the excellent service, it is noticed. read more

I love the food here, but hate eating inside. We always get our orders to go. It is not the cleanest restaurant and it always smells very fishy. We continue to eat there because despite the store itself, we love the food. read more

I had to wait FOREVER for my food! I had such a simple order as well. People who also ordered after me got their orders before me!!! I AM ANGRY. read more

I'm in love with this place. The food is so fresh. The veggies are never cooked which adds a whole level of deliciousness. Its clean and the service is so friendly. I just can't say enough about it. And the best part is that it is very affordable. read more

First time in and was pleased,the food was good and tasty...but it is a bit on pricey end for what is received...but will return simply because of good service, and a clean restaurant. Had rice bowl with white meat chicken, and forgot the name of sauce...but it was the spiciest...good. Concept is good, and you "build" your own bowl. read more

I had the build your own bowl option; White Chicken, Brown rice, Spicy stevi yaki, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, edamame beans, Snap Peas. It very delicious and I will definitely come back stop by for lunch more often. read more

The absolute worst service I have ever gotten. I couldn't tell you how the food was because I never was waited on.

Yuck!! I ordered the Tokyo Original Bowl with white chicken. No, it wasn't white chicken and it tasted bad, not very flavorful. My husband ordered the Mahi Mahi. It was as thin as a piece of paper. The prices were terrible. We won't be going back. . read more

Excellent service - Brittany was wonderful! Our order was mixed up but she handled it and made the order right. Food is really fresh and yummy. They even have a meal plan menu for those watching their macros. Check this place out if you haven't done so already! read more

One of my favorites when in Colorado so I am so happy to see one in my neighborhood. The Yakitori sauce is so yummy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food lived up to what I've had before. Can't wait to go back. read more

I come here a lot and the food is pretty good but there's always a problem here and it's the employees. As far as I can see it the only hard working people are the chefs and other than that I get this constant attitude and ignorance from everyone else. The girls taking my order are never helpful and they just respond in very vague responses. They seem to have no knowledge of the different foods they sell here. Today specifically I witnessed read more

Delicious food, horrible service. I just got a to go order, and got home to find no sauce in my bag. I just spent 30$ on two bowls so to forget the sauce is pretty annoying. Not to mention, to the woman behind the counter, try and engage with your customers instead of acting like you don't want to be there. Thanks. read more

Service is so slow! ... Waited 30 minutes for our food. When our order finally came out not to put surprise the meat was COLD! I definitely had higher expectations and I was very excited to see a Tokyo Joe in the West Valley. Hopefully they step up the timeliness and ensure quality control. Don't know if I will be back after this experience. read more

First thing the girl could not get our order right. Second food took 28 minutes to get with total of 8 ppl in restaurant. The steak Bento was cold and recooked, nothing fresh about it. The spring roll was disgusting. We had to share utensils they just ignore us after complaining. I'm still sitting here an hour later wait for refund for food I didn't order. read more

I would just like to recognize Amy at Tokyo Joe's for following up with me after my bad experience at their restaurant. She did a great job making sure I would go back. read more

The food is good.. the pricing is equal to that of chipotle, if that's your thing, but the service??? Oh my goodness.. I could have grown the ingredients it took to make the food faster than it took to serve someone. I waited for 30 minutes for my food.. I ordered a regular bowl, nothing crazy. How is that even possible ??? Well I started looking at the kitchen to see how that was possible and I came to the conclusion that there is no pep in anyone's step. They move like they don't have much to accomplish for the day. The cashier was not really friendly and the looks on everyones face is so unpleasant. Actually, the only pleasant interaction I had was a server that spilled my drink but she didn't mean to and was very apologetic and accommodating so thank you to her. Maybe it was a bad day at he restaurant and like I said the food is great, but I wish the service was a match. read more

Probably my favorite place to go! The food is delicious and great quality, plus the price is very exceptional! The rolls are delicious and are priced very low compared to what you would pay for at a such restaurant. Their Poke bowls are my favorite but can get a bit expensive if you add extra toppings. Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone who loves sushi or loves eating healthy! read more

My daughter works at one of the Tokyo Joe's in Colorado so we thought we would try the one here in Arizona. My husband and I shared Joe's Pad Thai. The girls up front were very nice and friendly. Food was great. Restaurant was clean. I asked them how they liked their job and they said they are like a family. read more

It was my first time going to Tokyo's Joe's and I have to say I am pleased with the service I got. The restaurant was clean. Brittany and Shane walked me thru the menu and didn't seem to be bothered with all the questions I had. They were so patient with me. The food was great! The atmosphere was pleasant. I will definitely be eating here again. I just want to say thank you to Brittany and Shane keep up the great work! read more

First time here, last time here. From what I could see, there were more then several others very disappointed in service and time of getting food. Looks like they were writing reviews too. I ordered two orders of sushi rolls to go. Waiting 30 minutes is unacceptable. The spicey tuna roll was just ok. The Arizona roll was mushy. I have ordered sushi and rolls from Fryes grocery store which tasted better and was less expensive. $19.09 for two 8 piece rolls and a small beverage is too much. Being in the restaurant business for over 45 years, I see a poorly managed restaurant. 1 cashier on 2 registers doesn't cut it for a busy lunch time. Several people ahead of me waited longer because the "To Go" procedure didn't work. The young lady expediting food looked totally confused. She called out a name, which was as loud as a church mouse, and when no one heard her, she basically put food on side and moved on to next order. Need to find those guests. If they ordered, they're there. No initative to hunt down guest. I luckily heard her because I saw 2 orders of sushi just sitting there. I assumed it was mine. It sat there for 15 minutes. If you want repeat business, something needs to change. read more

I have never written a review before but I was very impressed with my experience. Had dinner here tonight. Employees are very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious. I ate a noodle bowl with veggies and tofu. My friend ate a white rice bowl with salmon. I love all the choises of tea they have. The place is very clean. I will definitely come back again. I would recommend it to everyone. read more

Food is great but I put in an online order for pick up 45 minutes later and when I arrived they still had not even begun making my order. Got stuck waiting around, wasting my lunch hour for 15 minutes. They didn't offer to do anything to make it up to me either. read more

Service was slow. Food was ok for the price. Really didn't get the full experience since the lunch rush was so heavy.
