East Tokyo is a well hidden little gem located in the Stop and Shop plaza on Farmington Avenue. From the sashimi to the sushi rolls, everything has always been fresh and well made. My girlfriend and I have mostly gone later in the night when it's not too crowded, but even when they're extremely busy it doesn't take long to get your meal. The (presumable) owner, Robert, seats us in "our" booth all the time if it's open. He's always very friendly and knows us by name, which adds a nice personal touch.

Everybody I take there enjoys it just as much as I do, plus the owner is super friendly and accommodating. OH! And try the all you can eat sushi for $20 on...
Read moreExcellent place to go eat. I got there early and for awhile was the only one there. So contrary to the name of this establishment, this place does serve Chinese food. I had chicken with garlic sauce. Now I've had chicken with garlic sauce in other place and it is never hot and spicy, even though it is advertised as being hot and spicy. I have to tell'ya that it IS hot and spicy and I enjoyed every minute of it. Also, the amount of food was a lot for me and I thought I might take some home and then I realized, I'MA FAT A** and ate the whole entire entree.🤦🏻 Also, excellent shrimp roll. I don't know what sauce that is but it was...
