Frys grocery store has better sushi. We went there for the POKE and even that was mediocre. Customer service meh

I love eating here lots of healthy but very tasty options! I have an extremely picky 12 year old who never turns it down. We usually spend $37 dollars for a family of 3 but with leftovers for later. The tea they serve is very good quality. I personally look forward to their organic raspberry hibiscus! Staff is very fast and courteous. read more

Tokyo Joe's - Regular size chicken bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This place is so so so bad... Sushi at the grocery store and instant ramen are better quality. Staff was not friendly at all and food was terrible- don't waste your time or money. read more

BEWARE. We waited for 30 minutes for our food. Watched several other groups that arrived after us get their meals. Ours did not ever show up...we left! So, if you are looking to get in/out in a reasonable time frame avoid this location. We will not return. It used to be a good place to grab a meal but it has gone down hill fast. read more

The worst customer service I've gotten. Jesse Lopez not only was rude about any questions I've had but he also didn't seem like he wanted to really help me out. Recently I've found out that his wife and him mistreat animals they've had at home. Disappointed in that read more

I've always loved Tokyo Joe's. The new Poke bowls set it over the top. However, most poke bowls from other restaurants showcase the fish. There are usually large cuts of fish and a bigger fish to rice ratio. This version of the poke bowl is basically a ton of rice and a little bit of tiny cut fish. No matter ... it's still really good. I just wish there was an option for double fish or for them to give me quality cuts or tuna instead of tiny cubes. I'm giving this place 3 stars however, because I usually start with an appetizer. Their menu has starters, which is another word for appetizer. Which is a tiny portion of food to start your meal or wet your appetite before the actual meal. The "stated" here is actually served during the meal or in one case after. How is this a "starter?" They should really change the name because at this point it's really just a side item. I've never been to a place that served appetizers during or after the meal. This is why I dock it a few stars. read more

Visited this restaurant at about 130 today. Halfway through my order at the counter the cashier told me I needed a mask. Went out to my car and came back and completed my order. I mentioned to her that if customers need to follow rules, so does the staff cause the cook had his mask wrapped under his chin. When I told her she said, "I don't feel like that comment was necessary. But I'll let him know." Then the cook just rolled his eyes and pulled it over his mouth but under his nose. I'm not big on this mask thing, but if you're going to enforce a rule, make sure your staff is following the same rules. read more

If you're a vegetarian, do not eat here. The tofu tasted like charcoal and the rest of the ingredients in the bowl were bland. It was probably one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. We ordered spring rolls with tofu and they gave us chicken and then complained about the fact that we had to send it back and they had to remake it. The staff made fun of us in the back for the whole duration of our meal. One of my favorite lines was "I'm tired of having to remake things for vegetarians." I'm sorry, but if you offer vegetarian options, you better not complain when you screw up. The only plus side to this was the manager. She was very nice and personable though we had to get her ourselves because the waitresses refused to do so. When vegetarian options are added, the staff should expect to serve many vegetarian customers and should be professional about it, not making fun of us to where we can hear it. They further complained after one waitress spilled water all over us and some of the food when we asked for replacement bowls. This place is bad, not worth the money or time. It made everyone in my group sick, even those that eat meat, and is an overall horrible place. read more

Have already been here twice... First to the VIP opening (thanks to my daughter who works here) and then again for dinner. Both times the food was great! Chicken is Super fresh and so are the veggies! Both times I got build your own bowls...mmmmmm!!! I have a friend who had severe dietary restrictions and this is the perfect place! They do everything they can to accommodate food allergies and restrictions without sacrificing taste! so glad to have a healthy alternative "fast food" place in the area! Go to Joe's!!! read more

Tokyo Joe's - Build your own bowl! Chicken, Brown rice, carrots, spinach, mushrooms ands teriyaki sauce! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

See all

We had a VERY bad experience eating here for the first time. It almost seemed like nothing went right. The service: During the course of our meal, the waitress got two of our orders wrong and mouthed off to me when I politely asked her to correct the mistake. She then proceded to complain about us to the sushi bar employee (specifically calling our table "those vegetarians"). The sushi bar employee then complained about our table to another waitress. I complained to the manager, Courtney, about this poor service and she was nice enough to give us three "I'm Sorry" free meals. Thank you, Courtney! You were the highlight of our overall frustrating experience. The Food: everything was bland, watery, and burnt. The sauce didn't even have flavor. The aftermath of this is that we all feel like we are going to puke (including the meat-eaters in our parties). Cleanliness: one of the waitresses spilled a drink on my mother and father (and their food). She was very nice and apologized for it, but then it took the entirety of our meal for anyone to clean it up. And we had to ask for napkins and for them to replace our meals. Supplies: there were no lids for the To-Go cups. Overall, this was a very poor experience. Even though we got free meals, we will not be returning. At least we have a funny tale to tell about the worst Father's Day meal we've ever experienced. read more

I came here with my dad and stepmother. I got a bento box with chicken teriyaki, Cali roll, edamame, and white rice. I also got a yo roll. The roll was ok. Not as great as i hoped but was the quality of say buffet sushi or grocery sushi. The box was kinda disappointing. They gave me noodles instead of rice and mixed veggies instead of edamame. The chicken was good tho might have had a little too much sauce. I'd stick with the bowls. Also the Cali roll was terrible. read more

Tokyo Joe's really is as good as it gets for clean, healthy food that tastes amazing! I've been dining at Tokyo Joe's since we lived Colorado and I think I've dined at every location in Arizona since moving back. My wife and I order off the Joe's Meal Prep menu for fitness-minded people who want to get set-macro meals that fit their fitness goals. Personally, I love the build-your-bowl option with Stevi-Yaki (sugar free teriyaki) on the side. The veggie options are awesome and the sushi is always fresh. My wife and I go to the Mesa (Val Vista) location every Sunday cause we get to see Cady Quarles who is their all-star employee. She takes the time to know her customers and makes you feel like special. She always has a smile on and greets us by name. And when I order the jars of Stevi-Yaki to take home she always hooks me up (filled to the rim!). If someone from Joe's corporate is reading this and you don't know Cady you should. She everything you could want in a representative of your franchise! It goes without saying but I highly recommend Tokyo Joe's!!! read more

When you have a name called Tokyo Joes', you know it's gotta be the gringo version of Japanese. This restaurant reminded me of some other restaurants or online stuff on how to order. The food was reasonable good and the portions for the bowls are big. The gyoza, however, was a disappoint to pay so much for 4 little gyoza's. You're really better off here just buying the frozen and saving your money on this appetizer. My husband ordered some steak with brown rice and veggies and that was in the range of $8 or so. I can't quite remember. I ordered one of their signature chicken dishes. Both were regular sized bowls, which were really large for us. My husband ate all his, but I could only eat half of it. I liked that they had 4-5 different varieties of teas to choose from which I liked the Hibiscus and something else tea. My husband and I both ordered fountain drinks and with the appetizer and 2 bowls, it came to about $25. My husband was fine with this place. It's not like he loved it or hated it. So, that's a good thing because he is picky. The place has good decor, clean lines. The place is clean, bathroom clean. Employees sort of nice. The guy who brought out food was a little not so nice and forgot to bring the napkins I had asked for. So ambiance is a 5 star, service was a 4 star, food was a 4 star. read more

Very mixed feelings about my experience. I follow TJ on IG and see Johnjay from Johnjay and Rich always posting about this place. So I was excited to give them a try. First of all. The menu was overwhelming. I wanted everything. Lol. Not their fault. But I mentioned to the young lady that took our order it was our first time in. She didn't even try to explain anything to us. There wasn't anyone in line behind us, but she rushed us. I ended up creating my own bowl and my husband ordered the surf n Turf bowl. He also got a Cali roll and I ordered the chicken skewers. Once we got our food, I thought I ordered extra veggies but didn't look like extra. But it was still more than enough food. I was impressed with the portion of the salmon. And flavors were good. It was hard to decide on which sauce to get because there were so many. The chicken skewers was basically one chicken breast torn apart, didn't seem cut with a knife at all, and stuck on skewers and put on a plate. The peanut sauce was delicious though. Overall the meal was good. Service was just slacking. There was probably ten employees behind the counters just hanging out chatting up a storm. Couldn't tell if they were on break or what. Then it wasn't until we were done and leaving a realized they have a reward program. That would have been nice to know about. :( I want to go back and try other stuff. But will prob go to another location in hopes service is better. read more

Went here altering hearing how it is a much healthier alternative to fast food, and it's close to home. I am a fan, I definitely will return. I ordered the MahiMahi bowl with no rice just extra veggies; and I must say I can't believe they charge alost $2 extra for extra veggies-Really!! I didn't think the amount of extra veggies seemed extra at all, so there's the four stars. I also got a four piece sushi-which was pretty craptacular to say the least; don't get the sushi it's not flavorful at all. I went with my family, my kids were satisfied with their meals and the pricing for kids meals was great $5. My husband got a beef bowl with noodles and he enjoyed it. We spent about $40 for our family of four, this was two kids meals, two small bowls, green tea and four piece sushi-not bad for clean food. All in all, we will return. Recommended for the night you don't want to cook and don't want pizza!!! Enjoy read more

Disappointed in myself for waiting so long to try this gem! I stopped in on a Friday evening and was in and out! Super fast service. I did the build your own bowl. Steak, Rice and Broccoli with the spicy teriyaki sauce. Simple yet delicious. The sauce came on the side and was so good! Perfect amount of spice. They have a huge selection of sushi, bowls and salads. Reasonably priced given the portion of food you get. The restaurant decor was modern and very cleaned up. Staff was fast, friendly and efficient. Only thing keeping this place from 5 stars is the steak was a little cooler than the rest of the meal and wasn't sliced all the way through so when I went to shake the bowl up it didn't separate. I will def be back! read more

The service was great! Food is even better. Try the Arizona sushi roll if you like sushi with a kick! read more

Tokyo Joe's - Great sushi chef! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Tokyo Joes is really popular in Colorado with the large healthy minded population. When I first moved to Phoenix I was bummed out that there was not a Tokyo Joe's in the area. When this place opened I was really happy that there was a go to healthy option for some great tasting healthy food. My favorite dish there is the combo bowl with brown rice and no brainer veggies added. I always get the curry sauce and love it that they do not charge me more for a extra sauce. The red pepper stuff on the table is really hot so I can get the heat level right where I like it. I also like that they use free range antibiotic chicken and Coleman beef. Stop in at Tokyo Joes, it's a no brainer. read more

A Hangry Beast was growing inside of me when I entered Tokyo Joe's with my 'Free Lunch' coupon. Unable to decipher the menu to build my own bowl, I went with the MoJoe Bowl. It seemed to be their signature dish and came with dark meat, the best kind of meat. And it seemed like an adventurous twist. After what seemed like an appropriate wait time I was presented with a bowl of something I would expect my 3 year old cousin to make. Only after adding 2 packets of Sriracha did I find that mess of over cooked noodles, frozen pineapple, mechanically separated chicken product with terrible texture and that terrible/cheap watery sweet-and-sour sauce edible. On the plus side, they had sriracha on the table and I felt like I was in a nice restaurant with the decor and cleanliness while I was eating a bowl of terrible. I have another 'Free Lunch' coupon, I think I'll give it to my little cousin. He likes throwing pasta on the walls. read more

Frustrated over poor service at Tokyo Joe's. My wife and I love the food at this location but service from employees has taken a turn for the worse over last two visits. I will give it one more chance next month. This time we waited 20 minutes before wife got up from seat and asked for our tray of food that we watched sit for at least 5 minutes. Cashier was very rude to her. Good food only goes so far. read more

We saw Tasty Joe's when we walked into Verizon Wireless and we thought we would give it a try. Our granddaughter wanted orange chicken so we went in and asked if they had it or a dipping sauce comparable. An employee at the front said no they don't, and another one said they used to but no longer do. As they were telling us another employee in the kitchen heard us ask and said, "No, we don't but there are plenty of places around you can get it." He said this rude and sarcastic. Of course we know that there are other places that have orange chicken, but we were right there and wanted to see if your restaurant had it. As we turned around to walk out my husband went back in and asked for a manager and everyone looked at each other with no response, so my husband told the cook that if he was having a bad day or didn't like his job pack it up and go home and don't take it out on your customers. read more

My custom bowl: dark meat (rubbery and weird looking, microwaved? no flavor) White rice (seemed like instant rice, microwaved?) Red Dragon sauce (says "hot hot hot" it was "not not not" it tasted a like a bottle of regular teriyaki sauce and then they added in some cayenne pepper and a few other spices, meh...) Broccoli (was ok) Carrots (seemed like cubed frozen kind, that have just been thawed out and left in a cool place... not even a quick steam...) Red onions (diced and raw, at least they tasted like red onions so win!) Tossed my recipient but my bill was 7 something, that's with the 50 cent extra fountain drink, pretty sure its a 14oz cup? so if your thirsty stay there to eat so you can get a refill. Glad I tried it out, but will never ever go back, not sure why it gets so many positive reviews... maybe there sushi is better? or maybe everyone is use to those Costco frozen rice bowels (which actually taste better) read more

This place is awful. The sushi roll I got was horrible tasting and the white meat chicken was rubbery and fatty. The spicey-yaki tasted like pure sugar. The only good part about this place was the girl taking our order. She was great. read more

Love this place for a quick and healthy meal. I really enjoy the Green Curry Shrimp Bowl and the Lettuce Wraps. Military members get a free drink with every meal! Join the Joe's Addict Club and get awesome deals, like BOGO coupons. We always have a great experience at this place. read more

Always a solid go to spot for lunch where I know what I'm going to get. The vegetables are always fresh and on point. Great fast casual spot for lunch or a quick dinner. read more

Wonderfully forgettable 1. Food was bland, tasteless, and the bottom of my bowl was filled with water. 2. Service was among the worst I have had in a long LONG time. i.e. Water being spilled on our group, snarky comments when there was and issue with the food. 3. While this was a bad experience the manager didn't notice the entire time all of this was going on. When we did bring her attention to the issues she did make it right but to little to late. read more

Been here many times for lunch and takeout. I've learned the sushi is often dry and tasteless so I don't order it anymore. My go-to is a make your own bowl with salmon, veggies, brown rice and choice of sauce. It never disappoints. Pad Thai is very good also. Nice, healthy alternative to a burger and fries or other sandwich. read more

This is 2nd time here, first time it was not good so I went back to see if its changed but same situation, food is just bland and tasteless! read more

This place is the perfect example of you get what you pay for. Real chicken breast, True, high quality ingredients don't come cheap. I hope they stay with the high quality. I had the tuna sushi rolls last trip. Great flavor, side of ginger and wasabi was perfect. I will go back, and I will recommend this place to others. read more

Great things: Fun ambiance, many healthy options, and speedy service. Not so great things: Portions and Flavor While I don't have anything horrible to say about Tokyo Joe's I also do not have anything great to say about it either, which leads me to believe that it wasn't that worthwhile of an experience, or a dinner. I left still feeling hungry, but not wanting to go back and order more. read more

Mmm there are many places that offer "clean eating " with more flavor. Their sauce is ... Just weak , no flavor :( so sad because I would love a healthy yummy option near here . 2 stars came only from good service , manager and servers were very pleasing just my tummy was not pleased . Also their "side" veg option sucks , it's just one Huuuge order of same plain veg. Needs mixing up option. And people , huge loads of white rice is never the best "clean" food lol read more

Tokyo Joe's has become a regular go-to spot for take-out for my husband & I. We moved here from So Cal & have been looking for a quick easy spot to get fast-food sushi & this is it!!! (We miss Fuji Grill in Newport Beach) Their regular bowls have been great (we've tried white Chicken, Steak & Salmon) We've also enjoyed the Tuna Tetaki Salad & a Specialty bowl with fish (maybe Mahi?) that had a mango salsa.. yum! I appreciate options to add veggies & opportunity to specify which veg rather than getting a predetermined mix. We really enjoy their array of sauces too. They do not have many rolls but we have enjoyed each one we've tried. I recommend the Cali tetaki & the Arizona! Would love for them to create more specialty rolls. Very clean. Fair prices for great quality. Staff is friendly & happy. A mistake was made on one of our orders which they rectified to my satisfaction without hesitation. Check it out!!! read more

Great amazing healthy delicious options.. Nice choices sushi made to order..no factory farmed meat here..fresh organic vegetables great customization..ambiance way above all walk up and order places..amazing and friendly service!

The food was outstanding with lots of gluten free options. Everything was so fresh and even the smaller serving was huge! We had enough left over for take out for tomorrow! They forgot my sauce but brought it immediately. We made a mistake in ordering and they fixed it with no questions. Outstanding service, a greàt experience. We will be going back. read more

This place is nothing special, gave it a chance, but the third time did it!! Okasa bowl, i think its callled, did not see any chicken, and the cbicken i did see was very little,.plus the egg is placed on top of my bowl which is Not! Fried, it runs!!! I waned to throw up!! Will never return!!! read more

WOW! I can't believe this place has any fans. The teriyaki surf and turf my daughter got was way too sweet and there was so much that it was almost a soup! My wife got the yakitori which also disappointing. I tried the General Joe's Soup, it was so bad I refused to eat it which is a first. I was raised to not waste food and there is very few things I will not eat. Liver, chicken hearts and gizzards, I think something called chichironis which is deep fried cow utters. I thought those were bad but still choked down more than I did of the soup. Being half Japanese and raised in California I have eaten so many types of food, this was horrible. The spring rolls were so chewy it was impossible to take bite. I was amazed at the positive reviews. I think people are confused and believe the fresh vegetables made the meal healthy. Maybe take off all the crappy sauces and it would be healthy. Also, the service was annoying. First time there and the girl behind the counter was irritated at our slow decision. From the reviews the Manager Andrew is great, well he wasn't there so I'm sure the service would have been more positive had he been there but that just couldn't help the food. I enjoy Thai Basil and even Thai Chili ToGo and usually get the drunken noodles. Kona Grill is pretty good but mostly I prefer cooking myself but I would avoid this place. read more

Came here yesterday to try it out since I was craving something somewhat healthy. I ordered the bento box for about $10-11 and honestly wish I went elsewhere. The food was okay, edible. The salmon tasted like it came out of a bag pretty disappointed. Edamame was actually good and came in good amount. Sushi here is somewhat acceptable. For that price, go to Sushi Ave or masa sushi, or even RA for that matter. The bento boxes are much better and they put more food in it. You won't be hungry like me and had to go somewhere else after to satiate my hunger. read more

My new go to place! The staff was very friendly at explaining all the choices even though it was picked! Love the vibes and the food was AMAZING! ***REVIEW UPDATE*** I was very disappointed with the quality of online ordering. I had ordered kids meals & then get home & have to deal with a screaming 3 year old because they forgot to it her cookie in the bag & also forgot to give me the drink for her. I did call the restaurant and got a refund for the kids meals but every time I have gone back since my 1st review it has such a different vibe. I definitely don't feel like returning. read more

Courtney and all the people there alway rock. They put up with my wifes endless add ons and my weird alergies and bad sence of humor!!! Great food and they take it seriously. If you ask for a certian ingredient to be excluded in your food they ask if its an alergy or a preference. If its an alergy they make it on a separate surface and they do it with a smile!! Great food, great beer, great people read more

Tokyo Joe's - Courtney - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Denver based companies have risen in the valley again!! Seriously, LOVE me some TJ's.They offer great, healthy options (for real though, check out the nutrition facts on the website) and best of all, it's veggie-saur paradise, complete with rice, all the veggies you can fit into a bowl and even tofu. And the good kind of firm tofu. If you haven't been in yet, get your booty in here...te service is FAST and friendly. Oh and they even offer freshly made sushi right before your very eyes if you're into that sort of thing. And, bonus, they have four types of freshly brewed tea! See you at TJ's! read more
