Tokoko — Restaurant in Cambridge

First time visiting after the lockdown and has changed little bit. Quality of foods were good and very impressed about customer services such as the staffs are very friendly and keep checking up on us.

Phoenix rolls were better than my expectations and definitely would like to order again next time. Tuna and squid were just average and mackerel got my attention which was worth to try. Not as good as the one I had in London but considering the price I was very happy about it as not many places even have mackerel as their sushi toppings. Perhaps the rice size could be reduced because the size of toppings were quite small.

Ramen was satisfied as well. Great taste of tonkotsu soup, very rich and deep flavour but the noodles were over cooked. Would’ve been much better if the noodles were less cooked and take out the corn as they just ruin the taste and rather put beansprout or eggs. However I would still order it again next time.

Unagi don was not too bad but could’ve been better. Quality of rice wasn’t perfect and put too much sauce as they got too salty at the end. Eel itself was soft and cooked well but should’ve cut before it’s served because I was struggling to divide into smaller pieces. Wouldn’t really order again considering the price.

Very disappointed for the fact that they still use disposable plates and cutlery even though I was eating in. At least should’ve gave me proper big spoon for the ramen noodles and plates rather than using lid of takeaway box.

Overall it was okay and willing to visit again to have some noodles and rolls. At the end of the meal they gave us korean seaweed snack and I think it’s a good idea so much appreciate that kind of...

Authentic Enough

I know. The portion size is the smallest compared to Moana and Hanani. It's the cheapest either.

You can tell from the ingredients they are using. The noodles and udon were made in Japanese wheat. Even the soy sauce is imported from Japan. I reckon the Panko is from Japan too.

Maybe the portions were the smallest, the raw fish has the best quality among Moana, Hanami, Itsu, Wasabi and Sushi Mania. Big and chunky raw fish cubes with clear marble layers.

No need to add extra for wakame salad. The pickle was mooli, not radish,it was exactly the pickles you can get in restaurants in Japan.

Unfortunately they put too much soy sauce on the poke bowls. That made the bowl a bit too salty.

The staff was trying her best to reply my questions. The place and toilet were clean. Delivery were fast.

The owner is trying to create the most authentic taste and style. I can respect that.

Unfortunately ingredients from Japan do not mean it's the best. Apparently wheat from Japan is GMO wheat.

Right now only European and organic wheat are not GMO. There were a lot of health issues over the world since Monsanto invented GMO food.

Sorry I can only give 4 stars because of the GMO...

We had read all the great reviews before we went in and prices looked quite attractive on the takeaway menu before we gave it a try. The food was freshly made. It tastes ok but there were way too many cheese in my sushi. I would say they had put at least half a tab of cream cheese in there and very little salmon. So all i can taste in my sushi was cheese and rice and that made me felt a bit sick afterwards. My husband ordered chicken curry. I had a bite. Chicken curry taste ok but they put something underneath the chicken to make the portion look bigger. The dine in price was more expensive even though take away cutlery were used due to Covid reasons. Overall we paid just over 30 pounds. For the amount of food we got for £30.40. We felt we can get better quality food elsewhere. Wish we had went somewhere like itus or Wasabi instead, the food would have been better there and it wouldn't have cost us 30 pounds for similar food. Don't think I will ever go back to this place again...
