    As far as AYCE goes, the sushi is 5 stars, (not the same as 5 stars at a high-end sushi spot.) Overall experience is closer to a four. This long-time Reno favorite is especially popular with the younger crowd due to the South Midtown location. Popularity is its main weakness though as it makes parking a headache, (not an area to leave valuables), and there is almost always a wait, often nearing or exceeding an hour during prime weekend dinners. No reservations. Don't be surprised if you have to wait outside or in your car. Once seated, place fewer large orders instead of many small ones since staff are stretched thin. Conversation can be tough with the loud packed room and music. Sports usually on big screens. Even at the sushi bar, it is not the usual experience. You still order on paper. High bar fridges block the view, and with 6 to 8 chefs working fast, conversation is unlikely. You are there to eat, not watch the craft or make a new friend behind the bar. Fish quality is about as good as AYCE gets in Reno, and the rice is less sugary than most. Nigiri often has the best fish-to-rice ratio in town. Good roll selection, including a Salmon Skin Handroll. Like many spots, some rolls are heavy on eel sauce or mayo, making the fish secondary unless you skip sauce or choose simpler options. The baked mussel appetizer was drenched in sweet sauce and tasted like candy. Surprised there was no mayo on those too. Price is a couple dollars above average local AYCE but worth it if you tolerate the wait, still cheaper than casinos. Monday through Thursday, sake is included. Arguably the best spot in Reno right now, though on a busy night I might pick one of the close seconds if I want to eat quickly. NOTE: It appeared they charged a higher tip than I left, so check your credit card charge a few days later

    I have heard for year that Tokyo Sushi was really good. I finally tried it today. The double crunch roll is so yummy. The pot stickers were crispy and the sauce that came with them was amazing. We will definitely be back soon.

    Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, I don't know what the pieces at the top do the plate were, everything was delicious.

    Tokyo sushi is our go to for sushi. The hand rolls, long rolls everything is fresh and delicious. Service was fantastic, sat at the sushi bar which is where I love to sit if there is only 2 of us, tables are great as well if you have a larger group. The bar seating now has service buttons at your seat if you need water, drinks or anything that the sushi chef can't provide. This restaurant is always packed, but they do get you in quickly. Atmosphere is clean and inviting. We went home stuffed and into a food coma . If you haven't been here for sushi you must put Tokyo sushi on the top of your list.

    It's been a while since we ate at Tokyo Sushi; the last time we went there, they had just changed management and were still getting their bearings. The current version of the restaurant is more organized and incredibly busy, it's very difficult to find a space in the small parking lot and there's a constant flow of customers through the door. The restaurant was able to accommodate our 5-person party at a nearby booth and we liked the call-button feature at the table. The servers were quick to drop off our drink orders, condiments and our appetizers; once we got started ordering the AYCE sushi, the chefs continuously filled our orders. All the appetizers tasted great; I especially enjoyed the crispy batter on the fried calamari and enjoyed the crab balls. Their unagi and upside down shrimp were pretty smooth. The rest of our of party enjoyed the salmon skin handrolls and scallops ha drool respectively. The PROs: the food was great, everything was beautifully prepared and tasted wonderful. The CONs: the lack of parking, the restaurant's overhead sound system was too loud to carry a decent conversation with the person sitting across the table from you and the restaurant was overcrowded, our party was (politely) asked to leave if we weren't ordering anymore food and were informed the restaurant had a time-limited (it would have been great to know ahead of time), plus, our main server was perturbed when we made a couple of requests: an extra cup for our hot tea and to top off our drinks, he annoyedly informed us he had other tables. (Alrighty, duly noted). So, overall, there were positives and negatives about our dining experience, and given that there are plenty of other AYCE sushi places in town, Tokyo Sushi won't wouldn't be my first choice.

    It has been years since we had been to this place for sushi. It has been redone on the inside and attracts a different kind of clientele these days. When we walked in I was impressed. It was 4pm and almost every table in the house was taken up, and so was the bar. I saw the prices, and they are a little higher than most places in town, but we are willing to pay to try the place. We ordered a huge variety of items from jalapeño poppers to Donald ducks, to quail egg shooters to a variety of rolls. Everything was tasty and fresh. My kid liked one of the baked rolls so much he ordered 3 of them. I liked the hand rolls but found it a little strange that you couldn't order most rolls in a hand roll version they have a hand roll section with about 8 rolls. The place stayed busy till we left and had even started a waiting list. One thing we were excited for was they offered a salmon kama order for each AYCE sushi. We only ordered one and shared it, but it was delicious. We have only had a hamachi kama before so this was a treat. Not sure how ofter we will eat tbere cause it is more expensive, but so glad we went and tried it. Nice for a treat. Oh,and they have huckleberry ice cream for dessert,and they let me have the deep fried banana with huckleberry ice cream instead of vanilla. .

    Busy busy busy....means always fresh!! Best selection so far that we have discovered with regards to nigiri selections in Reno. They have a buzzer system at the bar when you need to order. Press it and a waitstaff appears. Check the special of the day board to get a new taste. Mussels are limited to 2 orders per person. You can order rolls without all the sauce on them to get the real flavor of the fish. So my chooses and they were all great!!

    The food is one of the best sushi spots around. The outside of the building doesn't represent how nice it is inside with great atmosphere. Lunch is packed, so get there early. Service was super responsive early on.... But we may have gotten lost after the first round. However it was all worth the wait.

    Tokyo Sushi is one of my go-to sushi spots in town. I always enjoy their nigiri, especially the peppered tuna, they're the only place I know around here that serves it, and it's usually really good depending on which sushi chef is making it. They also have a few solid hand roll options that I like. Service is good and pretty fast, depending on how busy they are. One thing I do wish was better is the sushi rice. It tends to fall apart, and the flavor doesn't really taste like traditional sushi rice. I've also noticed that on the 2nd and 3rd orders, they tend to add more rice. Some of our favorite rolls are the Black Angel, Carson City, Tokyo, and Chao rolls. For sure top 5 sushi spots in Reno for us.

    This is my favorite Sushi spot when in Reno. The Sushi is always so good and fresh. Service is always on point. They serve nice size rolls and generous portions. I also love the crab roll appetizer. Yum! Great prices Ala Carte or All you can eat. This place is always packed no matter what time of the day you come so it's best to make reservations. Fun and lively atmosphere! Cozy Japanese inspired decor. Accommodating small and large groups.

    I waited to wait to leave a review until I came a second time just to make sure of the consistency. Place is so good, I mean really good. Staff is on top of their game in every way you want when you go out for AYCE sushi. The inside is nice and always being cleaned. Try the special salmon plate both raw and fried, but be careful with the bones. New favorite spot!

    Tokyo Sushi is easily the best sushi spot in Reno absolutely no question about it! From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome, and the service is consistently fast, friendly, and attentive. The sushi itself is unbeatable: fresh, flavorful, and perfectly bite-sized so you can enjoy every roll without feeling overstuffed. My personal favorites are the Tokyo Roll and the M3 Roll as both are packed with flavor and balance beautifully between texture and taste. Every roll feels carefully crafted, and it's clear the chefs here know what they're doing. What sets Tokyo Sushi apart is the consistency you always know you're going to get high-quality sushi and a great experience every time. Whether you're a sushi regular or bringing friends who are new to it, Tokyo Sushi is the place I always recommend. Between the unbeatable rolls, great service, and lively atmosphere, it's the kind of spot you'll keep coming back to again and again. Truly the best sushi in town!

    My friend took me here for the first time today and I am in love with this place!!! There are days at the bar and plenty of tables. The staff was amazingly busy yet still able to be friendly and attentive!!! The food is absolutely something to devour! We had so many rounds of salmon nigiri and muscles! This girl's inner competition eater was extremely happy and content!

    This place is always packed -- and for good reason. The vibe is loud & fun, with no online or phone reservations, but a nifty "hold your place in line" system. So come early & be ready to wait. For a party of 4 at 6pm, we waited 20 mins. What we ordered: Apps: Baked & unbaked mussels, crab balls, cucumber salad, edamame, miso soup, fried jalapeño, yakiton Rolls & Mains: Spicy Pepper, Lion King, Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Tahoe Hand Roll, snow hand roll, various nigiri Drinks: Quail egg shooters, unlimited hot sake (which our server shared was on AYCE Thursdays ) Hits: Baked mussels - rich, savory, and addictive Fried jalapeños - crispy, spicy perfection Spicy Pepper & Lion King rolls - full flavor, great texture Unlimited hot sake - obviously Hand rolls - they do not skimp on fish! Misses: Quail egg shooters - too sweet; needs a kick of heat (someone toss a bottle of Tabasco or sriracha over) Tuna - surprisingly didn't taste as "fresh" Parking - the immediate area is extremely limited & you may need to circle around a bit. Loud, lively, and worth the hype -- just skip the sweet shooters and stick with what Tokyo does best: rolls, fried apps, and sake.

    Ask the Community - Tokyo Sushi

    Is pricing the same for weekends and holidays?

    Yes

    If I went with a group, can some people get AYCE and others order items a la carte? Thanks!

    either the whole group must get AYCE or none: with the exception only if the non-AYCE eaters order bento boxes. (I'm not sure why, but this same situation happened to me this past weekend)

    Does all you can eat run until close? Probably getting there around 7 in a couple of days and want to make sure we'll be ok :)

    Yes! AYCE is always in effect. Plus, they also offer unlimited sake Monday-Thursday.

    How much is all you can eat?

    lunch $26.95. dinner $31.95 (accdg to one of the photos posted) 🙃

    Is this place still all you can eat and is it good for big groups ( 7 ppl ) ? What are the ayce rules?

    Yes and yes. Always busy. If you go for lunch I recommend you get there at 11.

    Do they take reservations?

    they do not take reservations. I would recommend calling before you arrive to check the wait times. Once you arrive they take your name & number down & they will notify you when a table becomes available.

    What COVID precautions is the place following?

    Mask on, and social distancing between tables

    Is this an all you can eat place?

    Yes.

    Does anyone know if they are open for walk in? Phone goes straight to voicemail.

    They are! No appointment needed now :)

    Do they have any eel rolls? I didn't see any on the menu but didn't want to assume.

    Yes

    Will they do separate checks for a group?

    I believe they do, within reason.

    How is the parking?

    The parking is ok, not a lot, but you can always find a spot either at the parking lot or along the street.

    I don't see vegan option on the menu, what rolls do you have to offer?

    There are several veggie options. Look at the menu

The time it was just my husband and I was so slow. We also sat down as the second table. They had a full staff and it took the longest. The food is good. I rate the roles at a 3, but note. I like simple sushi. So I tried the rolls just to try and see what they taste like. Its good if you like likes of flavor. It removes what people say is the fishy taste. I love the taste of fish. So I typically lean towards nigiri. I will amdit their sashimi salad as a 5/5. I loved it. I thought we could order 1 per round, but thats not the case. Look at the menu and its once per visit. The salmon hand roll is a 1 for me. It was not very crispy and hard to power through. So I dont recommend that, but they do a roll of it. So if you share with friends it might be worth while. The Niger I rate a 3.5/5. There was a lot of rice, but they also give a good size slice of fish. What got me was it didn't have that crisp taste when I ate it. Its hard to explain. The food quality is good. Don't get me wrong. Just the service and my simple taste buds. Its very popular and many locals love it. The lady was very sweet, when we got to speak with her. So don't let my rating and my taste buds hinder you from eating here. So give them a try.
