This place narrowly missed 5 stars!! Don't let the fact that it's in a strip mall fool you. Plenty of parking. Huge seating area. See pics. Super fast everything, from ordering drinks to bringing our food. It is made to order, not set out in buffet lines to get stale. Edamame are hot n fresh. Generous portion of wasabi and Shoga. See pic. Sashimi part of sushi was mostly very good. The salmon did get a bit thinly sliced on the last couple of orders however. Maybe they were panicked cuz we ordered so much so fast. Ok so with all that admiration, how did ol'Tokyo Sushi lose a star?? Well the rice was hard n stale on a cupple sushi's. The 揚げ豆腐 (ahge-tofu) was unusual (see pic). There was no oroshi with tempura dipping sauce. Last but not least, the draft Sapporo (see pic) did not taste like Sapporo. I advise Tokyo Sushi to switch to draft Kirin or Asahi... or both. read more

I have been here a number of times, but brought my family for the first time ever. I figured the restaurants will take a big hit again starting tonight, so we should support the servers while we can. As always, the food and service was great. Our server was one of the friendlier ones we have had. My wife and I did the all-you-can-eat, and asked for two bowls of white rice for our girls, since they are not huge sushi fans. One of them also has a peanut allergy. The server make sure there was no peanut oil used for anything and at the end of the meal, she informed us that the rice was free. That was very nice. We left a larger tip to show our appreciation for her service and since she will probably be without tips for the next month. read more

Love an all you can eat buffet. My family loves this place! Food is good for the price and the servers are fast. I've heard mix things about their reservations, I would recommend calling during the lulls of the day (not the lunch or dinner rush) read more

We had all you can eat sushi and even though it was made to order the quality of food was old, seems like it's been sitting for a while. Plus, all the deep fried food we order came out dark and had a burnt smell and taste. Either the food was over cook or they haven't change the oil for sometime. Don't recommend this place. read more

tastes like gas station food made me sick to my stomach the service wasn't terrible but not good it the sushi was warm the bathroom was a mess and stunk read more

My niece and I went to dinner here last night. She loves the all you can eat. We ate so much, we could barely walk out!

One of my family's favorite place to eat. Friendly staff, service is good and fast. Good foods and sashimi. Great price for All You Can Eat! More than sushi and sashimi.....I will bring my friends and family here. read more

Very tasty and affordable lunch specials. Clean restaurant and fast service. Best I've found for sushi in this part of the suburbs, which can be a bit of a dessert for a sushi options. We'll be back! read more

Ok, I'm giving Tokyo Sushi a 5 for three main reasons. 1- their sushi is awesome especially the Spicy Girl Roll. 2-it is the nicest and cleanest restaurant in Maplewood (go figure- especially for Asian/Thai/etc) it has a beautiful bar and one of the nicest sushi making stations I have ever seen, and 3- the service is incredible. The outside looks like it would like sh*t inside, but it doesn't. Trust me. I'm a pain in the as* with where I eat because of working in the industry. I hate all you can eat restaurants and even though it says that on the outside you don't have to partake. You can sit at the very nice bar, have some sushi, watch tv, and have a glass of wine and or beer. My only suggestion to this restaurant is to steam the dim sum and gyoza or make it an option. read more

Definitely one of the best sushi buffets in the twin cities!! A great variety on the menu - it has a good selection of sashimi and raw sushi. The $25 price tag is worth it in my opinion. Nice bathrooms, friendly staff, good drinks menu and the food itself is well presented and tastes good. I would recommend the snow crab roll and the Sakura roll read more

As an AYCE Sushi Buffet, Tokyo Sushi does have a lot to offer compared to its competitors: Kyoto and Akita. The menu is definitely a lot more extensive, even offering menu items such as "Kitchen Specials". However, if you're seeking for authentic and fresh sushi I would skip this place. In reality, AYCE sushi cannot compare to the traditional sushi bars. But, for an AYCE it does a decent job. The menu at Tokyo Sushi is nicely designed and organized and the chefs definitely offer some interesting rolls. One concern with the sushi rolls at Tokyo Sushi would be the proportion of rice; it's way too overwhelming. The other concern would be the amount of teriyaki and dynamite sauce that is drizzled over every single roll. For the most part, the rolls are decent-- you'll just have to experiment and see which ones you'd like best. Unfortunately, the sashimi at Tokyo Sushi feels a bit sketchy to me. Compared to an authentic sushi bar, the sashimi here has a slight odor and does not melt in your mouth. With the nature of being an AYCE, one must expect the sashimi to be sliced extremely thinly (sometimes even against the grain). Tokyo Sushi is not a disaster, it does a great job at being an AYCE. In general, the staff does a decent job keeping up with customer demands and checking up occasionally. The restaurant itself is relatively clean with its new furniture. read more

Tokyo Sushi - Philadelphia roll with spicy tuna and salmon (lunch ayce). - Sushi Bars Near Me - Maplewood, Minnesota

They have roasted duck and salt and pepper shrimp on their ayce menu, that blew my mind, and it was freakin' delicious. I'm not a huge fan of ayce sushi joints, although when the craving for insane amounts of sushi hits, I'm not opposed to them. I'm cheap and fat, and this is definitely one of the better ayce restaurants I've eaten at. On a Friday night at 630pm, I walked into a line waiting at the door. It took 15-20 minutes to be seated, but while walking to our table we noticed there were many, many open tables. What's the deal Tokyo Sushi? Are you trying to look busy by annoying your patrons waiting at the door? Anyhow, our server was nice and very quick on our orders. Beers and saki came within minutes of ordering. I love sashimi and sushi, my fiancé enjoys maki rolls, but we added on a ton of other items, because there were just too many interesting items to pass up. We liked the sashimi and sushi, although it was sliced thin as you would expect at a place like this, but that didn't stop me from ordering 20 pieces. Dumplings, roasted duck, and shrimp were also a hit. We didn't care for any of the maki rolls we ordered, and the eggplant tempura was too mushy. I ended my meal with a scoop of strawberry ice cream. It was a damn good meal. read more

Can't make your mind on what to eat then you gotta go to Tokyo sushi. My favorite all-you-can eat sushi buffet! They offer order menu item or enjoy the buffet for one fix price for all you can eat sushi, sashimi, hand rolls, many appetizers, soups, and etc. not a sushi fan, there is other food like chicken wings, fried rice, teriyaki steaks, veggies, soups and avocado salad/sea weed salad etc. Talking about it makes my mouth water. Love this place! Drink is not included in the buffet price except water. Go with a couple of friends so you can order a lot of different kind of dishes to try. Highly recommend this place for sushi lover. Tokyo is a clean restaurant. Great place to celebrate birthday or special occasion with friends and family. The service is good or great -depending on waitresses/waiters that you got during your visit. I was going to give a 4 stars but since I am a returning customer and my recent visit was better than my last so I decide to give it a 5 stars. My last experience, the menu items/food I ordered is not consistent like some sushi roll, they a good amount of rice for the roll or other time, the rice is too thick and I couldn't taste the flavor of the roll. Sometime depending on your waitress/waiter, they will forget an item that you order so you have to reminds them of a missing item. read more

AYCE sushi is either a hit a or a miss. Tokyo Sushi was a hit. We arrived and was seated immediately. We were having a late lunch so the place was not too pack. The restaurant is actually really spacious on in the inside and well decorated. It was a bit dark but it helps set a tone, I get it. The menu had a good number of items without it being too overwhelming. We ordered sushi rolls and small plates. My favorite was the steak. I could eat that all day. The sushi was fresh and made to order. It was delicious. We ended the meal with some red bean ice cream to clean our palettes. I would definitely stop in again if I'm ever craving AYCE sushi. Well done! read more

Was here for lunch about 2 months ago. Large restaurant, clean, sparsely decorated, mainly booth seating as I recall. Wait staff are attentive but too many are just hanging around in groups with nothing to do (out in the open). Music by Japanese pop stars play, always a noticeable plus in my book. Food was good, nothing spectacular. I tried a little bit of everything on the all-you-can-eat menu. Really like the tempura shrimp as they were large and the batter was crispy. Between this and Akita in Woodbury....I'd probably go to Akita mainly because of the better ambiance and for kids, they charge by the age. read more

I write this review very displeased with lunch. Stopped in for lunch with my coworker. I was here once before and I remember it being good. Today was not good, We both defiantly left unsatisfied and made the comment as we got in the car "ahhh we could have got pho next door" .. The sushi rolls weren't very tasty there just wasn't much flavor at all, the nigiri didn't do it for us either. Everything we got that was deep fried besides the scallops was mushy and blah. I figured I would end the meal with a miso soup and even that was just horrible. I felt bad because we didn't eat a lot of the stuff we ordered, but it just was not good food. Nothing we ordered looked like any of the pictures I see posted on other reviews . I will say I did enjoy the Teriyaki salmon. read more

Tokyo Sushi - Inside look dark, but very private setting - Sushi Bars Near Me - Maplewood, Minnesota

This place is always such a good experience. I come in hungry and am seated within a couple minutes. I order what I want and I usually get my food in a timely manner. I'd say less than 20 minutes. I absolutely hate AKITA. I waited so long over there and when the food arrived it was cold! I've been to Tokyo Sushi three times now this cold season and it has never disappointed me. They remember all my orders and the food is hot or warm! They don't take away my menu and are always attentive. I love the beef teriyaki and the fried sushi rolls with avocado. My kids enjoy the ice cream and I have to say they are pretty good! The presentation is always nice and we are always seated at a distance from other customers. Had a great time here this afternoon. I am definitely coming back whenever I get the chance to. read more

I have been here twice, once for lunch and again for dinner. As far as quality goes, the fish is fresh, the all you can eat menu is varied and included both raw sushi preparations as well as cooked kitchen dishes. The waitress was very attentive and friendly without bieing overly intrusive. To start, I got the salmon and escolar sashimi with a spicy tuna maki roll and a specialty roll that was to have shrimp tempura inside with spicy tuna on top. When the food came, I was very satisfied with the spicy tuna maki, but extremely disappointed with the sashimi and specialty maki roll. The specialty maki was essentially a cucumber maki with a barely visible, barely tasting the shrimp tempura. In addition, the menu never listed cucumber as an ingredient! As for the sashimi, the cuts were so thin that there were holes through the "slices" that made paper look thick. Now I understand that this type of sushi is more expensive cost wise for the restaurant, especially since it does not come with any rice as a filler. However, the PURPOSE of ordering sashimi is for the texture and subtle taste that is characteristic to each type of fish. When cut this thin, the entire essence of sashimi is gone. A more snobby sushi aficionado would have been appalled and offended by the treatment of the fish, as it was borderline disrespectful. Personally, I would have rather not have the option of ordering sashimi with all you can eat than to order a bastardized rendition of the "dish." Lastly, I will say that I was able to order a bottle of sake (which was very reasonably priced) and was able to take the unfinished portion home. They also reminded me to keep the open bottle in the trunk, which was also appreciated! All in all, I will be back but will stick to non traditional dishes like the specialty maki rolls and simple maki rolls! All in all read more

I absolutely love coming to Tokyo Sushi! I'm a sucker for all you can eat sushi! They're lunch special all you can eat is obviously a bit cheaper than their dinner but either way it's worth it. The sushi is amazing every single time. Not only is there sushi on the menu but they have a lot of other varieties. Such as French fries, chicken nuggets, sushi pizza, donburi (rice bowls) and so many more. The staff is always friendly and quick to serve you. read more

My favorite place to get AYCE sushi! I've been here a handful of times and I've never been disappointed. Never had to wait to be seated, the servers have always been nice, the food comes out quickly after ordering and the food tastes great! Also love how clean/spacious the restaurant is, and the decor is really nice. My only complaint is I've ordered a few sushi rolls that did not taste that good, but you just have to find what you like. Dinner price for AYCE is 25.99, which is not bad at all for the variety/quality that they offer. Items I definitely recommend you try: spicy salmon nigiri, salmon sashimi, stir fried seafood udon teppanyaki, salt & pepper shrimp, shrimp & veggie tempura, calamari, Mexican roll, #9 roll, seaweed salad and miso soup!! Yum! read more

Waitress was extremely attentive and service was fantastic. Food was delicious. Did the AYCE, standouts tonight were the seaweed salad, the Sakura Roll and Tiger Eye Roll. Sashimi tasted fresh.

Great service ! Our waitress remembered us. They are reservation only, but almost always manage to fit us in the busy schedule, and the lunch prices are a steal ! Great place read more

Delicious sushi and other meals! The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is nice. We love going there for lunch.

Don't let the outside strip mall deceive you! The inside is quite nice, the bar is nice too. We were seated at a high-top near the bard and it was a nice atmosphere. The food was very fresh, this will be our new sushi go to! Price for the all you can eat lines right up with other familiar sushi dining places. read more

What did I expect? I got exactly what I expected which was my fault. N all you can eat sushi place for around 25 to 30 dollars a person. Been here a couple of times and it's lent so sea food is for Friday's. After a few of these visits I have confirmed this is not the place for me. The service is ok and the rolls taste exactly how they are described. Sashimi isn't cut correctly but I wouldn't expect that in the first place. But there is nothing exciting or really tasteful. Everything is all kind of meeh just as the menu shows and describes. Our family doesn't find ourselves eating a lot when we go here and that just doesn't make it worth it. Not even the children who will normally eat two adult size rolls at most sushi restaurants. Not for us but might be for you if you have a hungry pack to feed. read more

$25.99 all you can eat sushi for dinner. $15.99 for lunch. Good variety of options and they're really tasty. Fast service too!

A waste of time and money. If you can call it sushi, it was tiny slivers of fish packed in large portions of rice. There's a note on the menu that you can't leave the rice on your plate, and another note stating that if you leave too much food on the plate they'll charge you more. Maybe this is typical for sushi buffets, but I'll never go back. read more

Low quality seafood not worth the trip did not like it at all so there you go and what more to say

Without question, this is one of the greatest sushi restaurants I've ever been to and had the good fortune to enjoy- this includes sushi places in Japan. This is a fantastic spot to bring a large group for any occasion. The friendly staff are absolute professionals, and able to accommodate parties of significant size -without reservations- with ease. Also, this is an ideal place to bring young children and teens. Very fun way to enjoy and share favorites and try new items. I can say (after my 12th visit)-I've tried nearly everything on the menu-and it's all exquisite. My favorites are the Out-of-Control Roll, and the Tuna Nigiri. The fish is always fresh. Generously portioned...and elegantly displayed. Sushi not your thing? There are a variety of gyoza dumplings, salads, teriyaki grilled meats, noodles, stir fry, and tempura delicacies. This elegant restaurant is clean, breezy, and has an upbeat contemporary style that is timeless. Don't forget to order tea and dessert! The sweet creamy mango is my favorite. The Twin Cities is lucky read more

Best all you can eat sushi I've ever had and such a great deal. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is always excellent.

Our family has visited many all you can eat Japanese restaurants. This one is tops. Freshly made food. Good service. We have been here dozens of times. Also, having lived in Japan 20 years, we have an appreciation of Japanese cuisine--especially sushi. read more

This is probably my favorite place to go for date night and we go at least once a month, sometimes as often as once a week. If you can, try to go for dinner vs lunch. The price difference is only $7 and the roll selection is doubled. The best part about this place is that it's not just sushi, even if you go for "all you can eat" sushi. They have a good range of apps, salads, soups, grilled items, dessert and obviously, rolls. I have brought people here who are very anti sushi and they have managed to find lots of food to enjoy. read more

I only had the sushi while I was there and it was ok. I will give them another try and have more things on the menu cause it's all you can eat. read more

Great service. Good food. Reasonable price. Ming, the main host is very friendly guy!

The unlimited sushi is pretty good for the price you're paying. The staff isn't very attentive and the place looks pretty dirty and run down at all times. If you're looking for unlimited sushi, head to Kyoto in Roseville ! read more
