First time customer at the Val Vista location and loved it!!! Restaurant was very clean. Cashier Caitlin greeted us with a beautiful smile and made us feel truly welcomed!! Pot stickers appetizer was phenomenal and the rest of items we ordered were good size and tasted delicious-fresh. Thank you, I will be going back!! :) read more

I was planning on going to a different Poke place for dinner after making the rounds of the Goodwill stores on their half-price day but found myself several miles the opposite direction so I looked on Yelp and found this place was listed about halfway between the two stores I was going to. When I pulled up it didn't look like the place was open because their windows are so dark it looked deserted. But then I saw a couple get out of their car and go in so I knew they must be open. They make the choosing fairly simple. You order at a counter and they give you a number to take to your table if you are eating in. I got the Poke bowl because that's what I went in there for. It was about $10.50 or so before tax. I was very impressed with the quantity I got and with the quality also. I got salmon with cucumbers and edamame mixed in and a brown rice base with traditional Hawaiian sauce. I was happy with my choices. It was delicious. I would have no problem going back there if I'm in the area again. I think I'm totally hooked on Poke now. The atmosphere is that of a fast food place and it looked extremely clean. read more

Tokyo Joe's - Poke bowl. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I have been going to Tokyo Joes since they first opened in Denver - many, many years ago. My favorite is the build your own bowl. My adult grandson is fond of the sushi and my husband likes the Nicco salad. You can't go wrong here - it's worth walking in for this relatively quick and yummy meal. read more

Love Tokyo Joes. When I get a hankering for a poke bowl, I just order. DD and GH deliver for a nominal fee. Always tip the driver in cash!! Salmon and Ahi are always fresh. Plenty of rice and other veg including Sunomono!! Mac nuts and sushi ginger are a must. Never had a bad bowl, sometimes low on rice. Last time I ordered I got so much I had to mix it outside the bowl. Enough for 2 meals@!! read more

This is a great option for quick and healthy Asian food. It was pretty quiet on a Sunday evening. I got the large build your own bowl with dark chicken and brown rice/ ramen noodle combo with the 5 veggies special. I got full pretty quickly and had enough for a bowl for later! ! read more

Service is okay, but the sushi quality and ESPECIALLY for the price is NOT worth the time or money when you can go to a great quality All You Can Eat place for $21. Spent about $50 at lunch for a few rolls and a little bit of gyoza (pot stickers). Atmosphere is really great. That's about it. Was not personally satisfied. read more

Don't get the sushi. The poke bowls, build your own bowls, and salads are usually great. The sauces are fresh and made in store. Again, do not get the sushi. Crunchy rice, unrolled rolls, uneven cuts, very poor ingredient distribution in the rolls... gas station sushi is probably better. read more

Tokyo Joe's - Don't waste your time - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This place has been on my radar for a while. We drive by at least once a week. We finally stopped in. Having looked at the menu on line I was pretty sure what I wanted. I went with the create your own bowl. So I picked the grilled salmon. This is a large piece of grilled salmon. I also chose my 5 favorite vegetables and brown rice. All this was drizzled with red dragon sauce. Thanks to a fellow Yelper's tip I ordered the regular sized bowl. This was more than enough for me. The food was ready in about 15 minutes. They brought it out to our table. The meal was tasty, but didn't knock my socks off. The salmon was the best part of the meal. I tried a piece of yo roll sushi my daughter offered me. I'm glad I didn't go with the sushi. The rice was dry and the sushi lacked taste. It didn't seem fresh to me. The two reasons I'll be back again are: 1.) The price is reasonable. 2.) I don't know of a similar place in the area. read more

I've been wanting to try Tokyo Joe's for a while now. I viewed the menu online before going to make sure they had soy free options. This is a cute asian diner, there is ample indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is bright and clean. When you walk in you place your order at the counter, you are given a number and they bring your order to your table. They have a variety of menu options ranging from appetizers, sushi rolls, wraps, salads, bowls, build your own bowls, bento boxes, a variety of sauces from mild to spicy, and a variety of sodas, teas, bottled water and juices. I opted for the build-your-own bowl. They have regular or large bowls. I chose the regular size bowl, I chose the grilled white chicken, and their low carb option of double vegetables. There are a variety of veggies to choose from. I chose broccoli, snap peas and carrots. I did not try any sauce as there were only two soy-free options, and one was really spicy and the other had coconut(which I can't have either). So needless to say my bowl was a little bland, but that was due to my opting out of sauce. The chicken was grilled perfectly, and the veggies I felt were over steamed, but overall good. I also tried their sweet tea. It was good, not too sweet, as that can be a problem at other places. The atmosphere was upbeat, the staff was friendly and helpful, and overall it was a good experience. I will be back to Tokyo Joe's :). read more

Tokyo Joe's - Grilled white chicken and double veggies bowl (regular size.) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I took the family for dinner. It was my first (and only) visit. I ordered a Ramen bowl with dark meat chicken, a 4pc Spicy Tuna roll, and a drink. The Ramen bowl came with white meat and the spicy tuna roll never came at all. Too add insult to injury, the Ramen bowl was bland, at best, and I had to stand in line for 5 minutes to get a refund for the roll. There are so many better options, do yourself a favor and choose them over this dreadful place. read more

3/31/17- Great food! However, while eating my Teriyaki bowl, I almost broke a tooth on a shard of glass. It looked just like the onions, so I didn't see it. Glad I didn't swallow the glass. I called over at 5:45 and asked to speak to the manager, but had left for the night. I told the girl who answered what happened. I explained that I didn't want my money back or a meal, but they need to discard the rice, onions and chicken. More glass could be in the food and someone could get injured. Her reply was "well make sure to do that". Pretty much didn't seem to care. I'll stop by today and hand deliver the glass back to the manager. read more

Thumbs up to Tokyo Joe's on ValVista!! Food was excellent. They feed their employees and are staffing in spite of COVID. I consider them an essential business!! read more

Went there last week to pick up dinner for the family. Not being sure what sauces they would like with their bowls, I ordered a couple of extra sauces. While I waited for my food I could here the cook LOUDLY berating the cashier for allowing me to order extra sauces. He went on and on and on for at least five minutes (no joke), about how if Tokyo Joe's couldn't afford to give him a raise then they couldn't afford to give out extra sauces. It was pretty pathetic. After hearing him whining so much, I offered to pay for my extra sauces. He informed me that I wasn't getting the sauces I ordered and extra sauces would be priced at $5 each. I asked his name for this review, he said it was Colin. Doubt if that's his real name, then again, he didn't seem or look too bright. Obviously, I won't be back. read more

I have to update my review. We get takeout from here almost every Monday. They've screwed up my order twice now and don't seem to give a crap. Customer service from the person answering the phone to the manager... disappointing. But I still love the food so I'll keep my fingers crossed that they figure it out. read more

Tokyo Joe's - Pretty awesome idea for busy healthy peeps!! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I was excited to try this place because I love eating teriyaki bowls with a mixed medley of vegetables. I ordered a chicken steak bowl with a variety of vegetables and added avocado paying extra. It was around 6pm so there were about 20 diners. The food took about 30 minutes, a little too long for my liking. When my bowl came out, the avocado was there but it was not ripe at all and it was as hard as rock! I didn't understand why something inedible was still placed in the bowl with the expectation that I was going to eat it. I mean it's pretty obvious that I don't have fangs. I alerted the cashier who told me to throw it away and he asked if I wanted something else like a drink. I just wanted my avocado refunded. A better way to handle the situation would have been to not put the avocado there and then ask if I wanted a refund or something else off the menu. The rest of the food was tasty which is why they still get 3 stars. read more

Why buy a large? I still love coming to this place but their portions are sorta a rip off. You get just as much food with a small bowl as you do a large. read more

Tokyo Joe's - Just order a small. You get the same amount of food. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Ordered take-out but the food still tasted fresh and warm. The build your own bowl item is great and they have lots of meats, veggies, and sauces to choose from. It would be nice if they could mix everything in the bowl for you because it comes super packed with food. Sushi was also great but they should have more options for how many pieces you want. You can only get 4 or 8 pieces. Decent price for some healthy Asian food! read more

First time trying them - SO good!! Loved the mojo and teriyaki sauces and the potstickers and the Build Your Own bowls. Generous portions, tender chicken, an abundance of just-right veggies...Mmmm.! And Fast! Think we've found a new favorite restaurant read more

Much better sushi at the gas station. Portions were small at best. Good reviews I believe are written by spambots. The employees were very rude when I went. Diarrhea was not worth the "convenience " of a quick lunch read more

Yummmmy!! I live for a good poke bowl and I am happy to have found this place! Thank you to JohnJay and Rich for always talking about Tokyo Joe's that made me want to try it. I walked in and ordered their ahí tuna poke. They made it for me according to what I wanted on it. Every bite was delicious and tasted very fresh! I was extremely happy with the quality and service. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you Tokyo Joe's! read more

Every time I have ever gone to this location, it has been nothing but a wonderful experience. The staff is always friendly, always in a good mood. I work in customer service, so I understand that that's not always the easiest thing! And the food is always amazing. just wanted to give them a shout out for the good work they do read more

Wonderful service. The restaurant was sooo busy due to a BOGO, but the staff moral and quality of food was still unbelievably high. Good job team! read more

Tokyo Joes is a fast casual style restaurant that's pretty good, but I think has some room to get better. I had a create your own bowl with chicken, veggies, noodle, and the Spicy-aki sauce. The "spicy-aki" sauce was a disappointment--not spicy at all. The portion size was monstrous, and I felt like I was getting all noodles. Shrimp is listed under a signature bowl but not on the BYO, which is a bummer. This place reminds me of Noodles and Company, but is lacking in combo options. I would love to see some other sushi/bowl/salad combo box. All they have is a Zushi box which is a combo of nigiri and rolls. What if I want a roll combo with a salad? I think it would be great if you had a Trio/pick two style like Panera or Noodles and Company where you could have a bowl and sushi, or sushi and a salad. As it stands now the portions are entirely too big to do this ala carte. I'll probably be back to try their sushi, but the bowls I may stay away from- too big! read more

I just want to let the wonderful staff at Tokyo Joes on Val Vista know how amazing they are! I had came to pick up an order that we placed on line for our office, unfortunately I accidentally placed for location in Surprise. When I say they we above and beyond....I was so impressed. They not only called the other location and cancel the order they had my orders ready in 10min, anddddd they had wrote little uplifting messages on each order!!!! Thank you again for your kindness! read more

It's so frustrating coming here because they always get my toppings or my sister's toppings wrong when we come. I think they get it wrong like almost every single time I eat here. It's not a huge deal but sometimes it seems like we're nit-picking over small things like say, carrots, or something. It's still annoying to have our order wrong like 9 times out of 10. I now realize I'm going to make them repeat my order because this happens way too often if I do choose to come back. It's a shame though because the food is pretty good. read more

My wife and I stopped in for the first time tonight. She ordered one of their protein bowls. Both the steak and chicken was extremely dry. The biggest problem was that all of the vegetables had a very distinct chemical taste and smell. We never give bad reviews, but this meal warrants it! read more

I love this spot. The food is great and they have a good selection that isn't overwhelming. Plus they have yet to fill one of my take out orders incorrectly. That's huge in my book. I'm getting hungry just typing this. read more

I have no idea who does the hiring for the employees at the Mesa location on Val Vista just north on Baseline but each employee is competent, pleasant, laid back and genuinely interested in assuring you have a pleasant experience. If you get bored with your same old order they always recommend different options based upon what you like. I was deciding between 2 sauces last time and the guy said how about we include both on the side so you can try them out. I've eaten here a dozen times, I love this place. Also, during the pandemic they all wear masks. read more

There is definitely room for improvement but overall we're not too disappointed. We stopped at Tokyo Joe's today for lunch and both got the Mahi Mahi Bowl with udon noodles and the Arizona sushi roll. We were both very pleased with the bowls, the fish was cooked very well, it had lots of delicious sauce and the noodles were great. It fell very short on the vegetables though. You can double your veggies for $2 more but 2x0 still equals 0. The sushi was a major fail, unfortunately. It was spicy but otherwise completely lacked flavor except for the vinegar, so eating it felt like chewing on rubbery rice dipped in jalapeño pickle juice. Definitely not ordering that again. The staff was friendly, as you order at the counter and then sit down until someone brings your food there's not much "service", but cashier and waiter were very polite. All in all a good place to go for the bowls, would definitely be better if they had more vegetables. Can not recommend it for the sushi though. read more

I loved this place! It's a build-your-own concept for the most part, with lots of different rice and noodle combinations to choose from. I bought a rice bowl with lots of veggies, and peanut sauce.
