I had noodles soups with pork and my husband ordered beef chow mien . We never had any food tasted so awful before. I can say instant cups of noodles better than their noodles. That's all I can say. read more

If I could leave a negative number I would. I had the udon with chicken, it was mediocre at best and that's being generous. My wife had sushi---it was laughable at best. Huge rice balls with paper thin slices of fish and the maki was at least a day old. The topper was they don't take Visa, only Mastercard or cash. My wife had to trek to an ATM to get cash to pay the bill. The service was poor on top of that. This was by far the worst meal we've had in the 10 days we've been here. read more

I made a huge mistake in my life by not checking the reviews of this restaurant before I eat there. That's what we always did before we decided to eat at any restaurants, but I just can't believe myself to be trapped and being one of the victim in this SCAM & DISHONEST restaurant if we can call it a restaurant because to me (and clearly to all of the reviewers/victims of this place) to have eaten at this place was the most horrible eating out experience in my whole life. It was on a rainy night and we have been turn down by 2 previous restaurants because 1 was almost close and the other one was fully booked with a long wait time and we were starving. Such a beautiful city, Salzburg, but this restaurant made our wonderful experience with the city become bad on our last day. I will say IF this city will not do anything about this dishonest business scam (they are basically a thief and they don't deserve a penny for the service, which was the worst foods, falsely advertised; what they advertised on the poster menu in front of the place downstairs is not what they served/they claimed that menu was not available, rude server with zero customer skills, also he is a great pretender to be innocent when we complaint about the overcharged prices, we basically got charged for something that we are not even aware that we ordered, SCAM!!!). I will never recommend to visit this city if this place is allowed to continue to do their business here. For sure, anywhere in the world, in the city as beautiful and touristy as Salzburg, the government/mayor/city council/anyone in charge in this matter should take action regarding this Tokyo Restaurant as they have been received nothing but horrible reviews from their victims and yet they are still allow to be in business? For years? I think the city has to do something such as to review this business and not to allow this restaurant continue to be on business. The business deserve to be shut down and their business license need to be cancel so this kind of business will not have a place anywhere in the world. Just so we know, every hospitality people around the area like hotels staff, cafe and other restaurants business owner nearby, even locals people who we spoke about our bad experience with this restaurant, they apparently very familiar with their dishonest business and it seems nobody in charge can do something about it. I was wondering, there are too many bad reviews for this restaurant and yet they are still continuing to be a criminal by scamming by doing their dishonest business? I even filed a complaint to the police station nearby and yes we spent some time on our holiday to the police station and file a complaint, we even came with the police officer back to the restaurant and had a NOT very pleasant conversation/argument/complaint with the server but unfortunately the police said they can't do anything. If we need to file complaint and take action any further, we should get a lawyer. I guess I will do that if I live there, so then no other people will be the victims of this place. But we are visitor like every other victims/reviewers here. Basically the police also recommended for us to refuse to pay before we filed a complaint. Really? Perhaps if we did that, we might get into fight and injure or maybe killed. Anyway, I wish we will be the last victims of this thief business and I hope they will be out of business soon. I was hoping somebody in charge will read this and take action about this place. My message to the restaurant owner and everyone who works there and anybody who is affiliate with this business; How can you live your life by doing dishonest business and make your living by cheating people's money? How can you sleep at night after reading all of your customer's reviews and unhappy feelings after eating at your place? You know what have you done, but you choose to ignore them. We as your customers are trying to support you and what we receive in return? Karma is coming your way, what you did is what you get. Thank you for reading. read more

One of those cases where a 0 star would be more appropriate. No matter how much you are craving sushi, don't go in. Just paid €18.90 for this...(with a total of 8 pieces). One terrible shrimp tempura stick wrapped by rice. The two ends only had shrimp tail so those were just rice wrapped in seaweed. Awful. The menu downstairs is different than upstairs where you actually order and eat. Definitely feel intentionally deceived. There is a spot two blocks away that looks like it's actual Japanese food, I just wish we saw it first. read more

This restaurant isn't even worth one star. It is such a rip off. We were overcharged for items we thought were included in the meal. For example I ordered the chicken with vegetables and asked if I could have noodles instead of rice. He charged 6.99 euros for the noodles which were awful, above the 16 euros for the dish. So that one dinner was almost 22 euros. I did not eat it. The chicken was terrible too. The veggie sushi was 12 euros. Their spring rolls were very greasy. We spent 70 euros for two people. Please please don't ever eat here. There are so many wonderful places to eat. There was another customer leaving very disappointed and dissatisfied with her meal too. It's good to check yelp before eating here. A very big mistake. I give them zero stars. read more

These ppl do NOT deserve to serve food. I would have rated zero if it was an option. Reviews are accurate to this day (12/29/2014) and we should have checked Yelp for any gotcha's, rookie mistake... The sign boards are no where to be found in the actual menu. The waiter mentioned you had to be a member to receive the advertised rate. Again still not in the menu. The hand-pulled noodle he mentioned is total crap. For 12.90 euro, it was packaged noodles and was not in the menu. Another table called them out on their false claim of "fresh" fish. The ladies from that table complained and walked out. There's absolutely no respect to food or to visitors here. Shame they claim to serve Japanese food, there's literally nothing Japanese about these ppl or restaurant. read more

See all

This is the worst Asian restaurant I have visited so far. Be careful if you go there (I hope you will never go), because you even won't know what you will be eating or drinking and how much they will charge you. They don't accept bank card and even don't give you printed receipt. I ordered duck with vegetable, but I found two slices of fat from whatever animals, but definitely not from duck. The vegetables were very badly cooked. I heard one guest sitting next table complaint no gas in his fanta. The price: One small bowl of white rice (not fried) costs 3.9 euro, very expensive rice. Also the restaurant is very dirty. read more

Tokyo Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Salzburg, 5

I'm sorry to say this but... This was the lowest quality of Chinese food I have ever eaten in my entire life. I have ate Chinese food literally worldwide and even Chinese food carts in downtown Los Angeles. This place ranks at the bottom of my list. The place is sketchy, overpriced, food has no seasoning, and it's very greasy. I ate here once while in Salzburg and never again I'll return. I think this buffet is the kind of place you come to get full not come to enjoy your food. They even charge for water they got from the sink. I get it; it's fresh Austrian mountain water but still its sink water. It should be free. read more

Worst food in town, please do not go in. You were waste your time, spring rolls filled with Greece and chicken tasted like ground beef from hell. I brought it up to the attention of the manager/owner and he said that many people liked it, but no one will review it. Do yourself a favor and don't go! Yuk! read more

ITS A SCAM DO NOT GO HERE. PLEASE FUCKING DONT. LIES. ALL LIES So many things wrong with this place To start off, we were lured in with the menu outside with great offers and a load of bullshit. The waiter even came out and greeted us but it's all a fucking scam. When we sat down and were ushered to order drinks, this "all you can eat for €7.60" was non existent. Everything on the menu was significantly more expensive than advertised. On top of that, when we went to pay for our food at the bar, they charged us A DIFFERENT PRICE. We couldn't argue with him because it was an item off the menu. He wouldn't let us pay with card either because it's not a "Austrian debit card"? Even when I explicitly asked if I could pay with my card. Excuse me, who was it that asked us if we're tourists at the entrance? Do I look like I would have A FUCKING AUSTRIAN DEBIT CARD. DO YOUR SELVES A FAVOUR AND EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE. ANYWHERE ELSE read more

Tokyo Restaurant - The face of a scam. Leaveeeeeee - Japanese Near Me - Salzburg, 5

If we could give this zero stars we would. Easily the worst food we've ever had in a restaurant, including places that have given us food poisoning. We were drawn in by the placards out front, showing reasonably priced food. We ignored the warning signs -- a place named "Tokyo" that appeared to serve mainly Chinese food. At least we could get some inexpensive, mediocre fried rice. We get inside and are told they only have special set meals, as it's Christmas Eve. Most every place was closed or jammed, and we were hungry. That's our excuse for having the singularly bad judgement for staying in this place. We're too embarrassed to say how much it cost. But the price was not the worst part. That honor falls to the food. Frankly, it was so bad that it's not worth describing. Just imagine food made by someone who has never actually eaten food; only heard it described. Sure, chop it up, fry it, add soy sauce and curry powder. Salt makes things taste better, too, right? Anyway, this review is longer than the establishment deserves. Run, don't walk, away! You have been warned. read more

Should have read the reviews before going here. I was with the fam and the €7.80 buffet sounded too good to be true. The food was subpar; aside from the duck, i could have boiled the instant noodles and frozen veggies and applied the sauce from a store-bought bottle in my own kitchen. What annoyed me more than the food was the deception of one waiter, who said they had the buffet going on. The buffet is only offered M-F, but as this Monday was a holiday, they did not. Instead they offered a special: noodles or rice with veggies and your choice of chicken, beef, pork, or fish, all for €9.80. The waitstaff didnt seem to be in sync with the menu or each other. One told us we could use credit card, the other insisted on cash. One said there was buffet, the other said there wasn't. Overall disappointed as this was our only opportunity to get dinner in this quaint town (granted, a bit of our own fault for picking this place over its more classy-looking neighbors). read more

If i could give zero Star to this restaurant, i will do it. They charged us tap water for €3.80 each (they said mineral still water but it was not). I ordered beef Tepayaki set €21.80 butttt they charged us 3.90 extra for white rice What!!!!!!!! All every plates are the same sauce that was too sweet and salty errrrrr. Bad experience in Salzburg. Don't come to this restaurant!!! read more

This is the worst restaurant I have ever been ! The people were dishonest. The food is not Japanese, and just plainly terrible. The people there are actually Chinese speaking. The prices are truly outrageous. How can such a terrible place operate in such a beautiful city ? read more

If you like rude service, dishonest practices and flavorless food - this is your place! This is the first time I have written a review. We asked for a bill and it was higher than what it should have been, but we paid to not cause a scene. I don't drink beer so I ordered a tap water and he told me the tap water was unsafe to drink thus selling me a bottle of water, which I don't know how much I was charged. Food wasn't good and the waiter (owner I believe) was rude and pushy. read more

Usually I don't write comment. But this restaurant is total suck. They r over charge the price. And u don't trust the sign on the street. The noodle is about €8 on the sign. But they charge you €18.5 for the noodle. And told u the normal price is like this. I don't even want to give a star. read more

Wish we had checked these reviews. The food sucked and grossly overcharged for a tonkotsu soup. My partner tried to order another noodle soup for 8.00 and was fast talked into tonkusu which we assumed was in the same price range but three times more? Robbery. The lady next to us was billed for something she didn't order!! Don't go here. Wish Yelp had negative stars!!! read more

I am Polyanna, but this place is bad. What they advertise is not available. So I ordered fried rice and when it came it had no peas and no flavor. In fact, there was no flavor in anything. But could they mess up Apfelsoft? Yes! It was watered down. The rice tasted remicrowaved. This was bad. read more

OMG....WHAT CHEATS!!! LIARS AND A DISGRACE OF A PLACE TO A BEAUTIFUL SALZBURG. I was on a 10 day trip across Europe and this was the worst meal I had. As a matter of fact it's the worst food I've eaten since I can remember. To make it further damaging, I was feeling nauseous and paid 70 euros for that horrible experience. The Asian guy was a cheat and utterly rude. Please don't eat there! I should have read the reviews. Probably one of the very few instances where my impulse got the best of my foodie experience and i didn't check its rating on yelp, HUGE MISTAKE. 3.80 for a dirty glass of water, 3.80 for flat coke, 6.90 for kids size plain noodles... I am so pissed that i want to report them to Austrian business review authorities... read more

Avoid at all costs. My Internet blinked out during a rain storm, so I tucked in & it was a disaster, start to finish. Horrible smell upon entering, terribly rude service, HORRIBLE proprietor & fairly certain the dog that was served to me in place of chicken has gotten both my husband & I dreadfully ill. This place needs to be closed down as it is a horrible blight on the city of Salzburg & the owner is clueless how to run a business and prepare Japanese cuisine. read more

This place is the reason why you Yelp before you go out to eat. Classic bait & Switch, false advertising of cheap food to get you in the door and upcharge you once you're inside. Food was 5/10 but the shady business practices just leaves a really bad taste in your mouth. read more

What a shock when I got my bill for 31 Euros for a single bowl of ramen, small dumplings, and green tea. 16 Euros was the charge for the ramen alone. He said the cost was because of the "meat" in it. There was NO meat. It was Tofu. The menu outside the restaurant was to "come on" to take advantage of the customer looking for the advertised "All You Can Eat" specials. I would NEVER eat there again! read more

They charge 3.5 euros for a glass of tap water...... we looked at the board outside which advertises reasonable prices for the popular Japanese dishes like curry chicken, ramen, etc..... don't fall for it .... it's a trap, you go in and you will not find the same prices on the menu..... what was advertised as 6 euros is 18 inside the restaurant ..... a small sake costs 9 euros ..... stupidity!!! read more

TERRIBLE FOOD, TERRIBLE SERVICE, HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING. These reviews are more than accurate - when we saw how awful the food looked, we felt bad and stayed and only ordered one item on the menu. Since he couldn't scam us on the set price of the one thing we ordered, he charged us 3,80 euros for each glass of tap water. When we asked why our water costed that much, he said 'this is a place of business, things are not free'. The table next to us was scammed as well, and was shut down by the owner when they tried to question the bill - it was like watching them argue with a wall. It's not about the price, it's about common human decency, which this person does not have. read more

Don't try ! Never ever walk in! The price is totally different from downstairs photo. Fry rice is €5.95 for a plate Actually is a very small cup served. What a cheating! Later on l find out there are some good Asia food at reasonable price in this city. read more

Be careful they overcharge for everything and the plates and glasses are dirty . They will also double order things and say it's already here . read more

Beware!!! This is a Scam! The food is fake and has no flavor. The owner is a scam artist. The prices are 20 Euros for Ramen(which is terrible chicken noodle soup) STAY FAR AWAY FROM HERE! read more

This evening I was coned by a charming looking Malaysian boy, who works there and who later misbehaved when he was told about the horrible quality of food. The food was tasteless and horrible. The vegetables were stale and chicken had a bad smell. After first bite when I complained, the staff started misbehaving and forced me to pay and threatened and turned ugly. I want to give minus points to this restaurant and warn everyone to avoid this restaurant. Not only your money will be wasted but you may even become sick. read more

NO. JUST HELL FUCKING NO. Other tables were waiting over an hour for their food and when we asked if we could cancel, they said our food was already made. Then they brought us something vile we didn't even order. When we told them we didn't order the dishes, they told us just to eat it because it was already in front of us. What?!!!! We didn't get charged for the food we didn't eat or didn't order but we payed 8 fucking euros for still water that we drank 3 sips out of dirty glasses. I'm so mad that I wrote my first yelp review ever. read more

Someone needs to board up the entrance so no one will ever fall into this trap of hell again. Unfortunately we had to leave in a hurry, but there are so many reasons why you should not go here, and no reasons why you should. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

wanna give this restaurant zero star. The prices on food menu are much higher than the advertisement menu outside. We order three dishes: noodle, teriyaki with rice and fried dumplings and it cost us 48 euros... read more

WORST Japanese food ever!!! Price charged not what was advertised. Fried rice was literally white rice with soy sauce only. Man standing outside promised they would cook to order when I told him my husband needed bland. He said "no problem". We said chicken grilled with white rice and he got a plate swimming with minced chicken (we think) saturated in a foul sauce and oil coated plate on a mound of cabbage with onions. Couldn't eat Four of us went and only one partially ate. Brother ordered sushi and had to spit out rotten fish. Owners did not care. All they cared about was getting paid. Run don't walk. They bait tourists in with unfulfilled promises and disgusting food. read more

FALSE ADVERTISING. STAY AWAY. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS DECEITFUL RESTAURANT. I wish I had checked either yelp or tripadvisor before stepping into this restaurant with my pregnant wife. I never review places, but this is my first one because I feel obliged to warn others. Based on the previous reviews from others, they are totally true. There are lots of menu options on the street, including bento boxes, all you can eat sushi, donkatsu and lots of "great food" all under 10 euros. Once you walk into the restaurant, which is upstairs on the second floor, the menus that existed on the street no longer are available. The counter girl pressures you to order a drink fast, which I think is done on purpose so that you are sort of stuck at the restaurant. We ordered two glasses of sparking water, which costs 7.6 Euros. Now that I reflect back on my experience, this is the first restaurant where they do not open the bottle in front of you at the table, but bring the water out from somewhere back. We were actually lured into the restaurant because of the bento boxes. When we asked about the bento box, the girl replied that "it is only available for lunch take-away". Really? They should write that on the outside street menu. Since we were already sitting down with two waters ordered, and my pregnant wife was too hungry to look for another restaurant, we decided to give this restaurant a try and ordered from the teppanyaki menu. There is a teppanyaki menu, and the girl will ask you if you want rice or noodles. Later, when the bill comes, we find out that there is an additional charge of 6.9 euros for the noodles. Most restaurants will say that this is an "extra" or "additional" charge, but this was not the case for this restaurant. The sad thing is that the noodles are terribly quality and we did not even touch it. The menu also shows pictures that do not correspond with the actual entrees. For example, the teppanyaki is under the "hot plate" and on the menu, it is on a skillet/grill. When it is served, it does not come out on a skillet. Later out of frustration when the bill came out, I asked the waiter and he responded that "We cook on the skillet inside the kitchen". This is BS. We ordered the chicken teppanyaki, and the chicken fried rice. The quality of the food is bad, and I have never tasted such bad quality food. Although I would never wish that a restaurant closes, I hope this restaurant closes. I have done some research and it turns out that this restaurant was also under the name "Nagano", "Asia Restaurant", "Tokyo Restaurant". Multiple review outlets including yelp and tripadvisor all show an average rating of 1 star. I think this restaurant keeps changing its name so that people cannot read negative reviews before stepping into this trap. Please stay away from this restaurant. I might even consider reporting this restaurant for deceiving business practices to some authority if such thing exists and if I ever find out how to do so. Please spread the word people... I do not want other tourists like ourselves to be duped. I am posting this on google reviews, trip advisor, as well as blogs and forums. read more

Not sure how this restaurant even exists? It is definitely the worse restaurant I have ever been to. The fried dumplings were microwaved and the seafood soup had one shrimp unpeeled with diluted onion water. Fried rice was from yesterday. Asked for one item and he gave me two and charged for both. The owner is completely deceptive. All the menu that is advertised they do not make. A separate menu is given. He said those items are for takeout only! So basically he's implying that if you take the food to go you have a better selection then if you eat at the restaurant?? Asked small amount of wine and poured me full glass and charged for it. I am the idiot for not checking reviews before going. read more

If I can give a zero-star, I would give them that! It is a total rip-off. We ask for tap water and the waiter give us a 0.75L bottled mineral water without asking anything. Wanted to order a 0.3L beer from the Manu and he says that is no longer available and need to order 0.5L (then why didn't they remove it from the menu? We were in a vacation mode so did not challenge him that). Fine, but there is more. He recommended a sea weed salad and when it comes there is very little sea weed on top but all cucumber! This should have been called a cucumber salad and charge much less! He recommended a 18 euro seafood Raman and it is definitely not worth the money. He never asks how the food tastes as common in restaurants priced at this level. This is the worst restaurant rip-off experience in my memory. read more

Honestly this is the first time I've came to Salzburg, so I didn't know any restaurant around the town. When I wanted to change some taste since I've had German food for a whole month, I decided to come to this place for that "special priced bento box and noodles". When I walked in, there was no one and it was around 7:30, which gave me some confusion since restaurants around the old town should be full of tourists. Then when the Asian waiter walked up to me and asked me what to drink, I told him I wanted a small sprite. But he gave me a large instead. Ok. That wasn't the big deal. What the big deal was that there was absolutely NO cheap bento boxes or anything advertised. It was a trap. The cheapest meal was around 10 Euros, and for that "all you can eat" advertisement, it was limited to 4 people or more, and 15 Euros will be charged to each person. Honestly, I can have better buffet deal around the town, and everything on the menu was overpriced - a small bowl of miso soup was 4.80 Euros!!!!! When I can get a quart of that for 4.00 at the states. Geez. Also there was a limited selection from the menu as well - sushi was only one type of fish, two types of noodles, a handful of appetizers, in addition to four selection of that stupid combination. So I ordered a grilled duck meal, with miso soup and four springrolls. It was 18.90 Euros. The spring roll was small, little sauce with that and it wasn't even that good. The vegetables tasted like they came straight from frozen vegetables and was microwaved. The duck was average, so is the rice. There was no service, the waiter did not accepted credit card, everything was not a great Salzburg experience for me. Definitely would not suggest one to go there if one is looking for Japanese food in Salzburg. read more

It isn't worth a star. Someone should call commerce department of Austria to shut out this restaurant. Complete rip off, please run from this place. Items on the menu are no available, they are meant to mislead you. When you sit down, they showed you the menu triple the price, and when you pay the bill, they told you rice is additional eu4. That means a frozen overfried super salty teriyaki chicken cost you eu18 and with white rice for extra 4, and an apple juice so plain that I think they mixed with water cost eu5. Please call the police. read more

Run dont walk away from this place! It's not advertised like in the front when you looked at the menu. Told us...oh..that price is for to go order. Over priced and food is awful! Frozen seafood that is still cold, rice undercooked, salty, etc. Handmade noodles? From the package! Ordered 2 bottles of still water. Waiter came out with one bottle full and the other half full and one glasses already filled from the tray. Didn't even hear the crack when poured the full bottle in our glasses. Dont know how they stayed in business. The police needs to closed them up! Run away!!! Tourist trap!!! read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! You will get ripped off. We got lured in by the signs outside advertising bento boxes that turned out to be "not available". We really just wanted something small so we asked for a small sushi plate pictured in the menu that shouldn't have been more than €16 (none were advertised for much more than that) and a drink that was supposed to be €7. The sushi was pretty mediocre and not super fresh. Somehow, when the bill came it ended up coming out to €40!!! Not sure how that happened, but what we got was definitely not worth that kind of money. read more

What can I say about this place? I was tired and hungry, the menu was big and the prices posted very reasonable. We went upstairs and the problems started immediately. The waiter started digging into us and pushing us to order drinks and food as soon as we sat down. Nothing, literally nothing that was listed on the menu outside was actually for sale. A bowl of overcooked basmati rice was €3.90. How do you not include rice in a fixed dinner that already costs €22? The fish was from frozen, the food wasn't even hot, everything was too salty, and at the end the waiter came over and started badgering us to pay like we'd done something wrong. This place is a hole. Never, ever eat here. read more
