Taste of Tokyo — Restaurant in Columbus

So I had my palette hard set on some hibachi steak and chicken. I get here, and it's two Spanish speaking gentlemen just sitting at one of the tables, and they looked at me as if i was disturbing their conversation tf.. Which I don't have an issue with. I'm Latin, too. I'm at the counter, and I'm lookin' at the menu, and everything is cool, but what bothered me was he proceeded to tell me that they didn't have steak... BUT... they had Filet migñon. I was like, Filet migñon is steak! I was perturbed, to say the least. So then I proceeded to place my order. Asked if they had pork fried rice, he said..."No, and the rice does NOT look like the pictures... it's just Rice and egg, that's it!." I said, okay, whatever. I'll try it anyway. Then I sit down with my food and go to open my sauce. Of which they only give you 1 sauce per plate if you were wondering. Tell me why it looks like a jello shot, and it all came out when I put my fork in it... the yum yum sauce smelled bad. So I didn't taste the sauce. The food was okay, but it didn't taste like Japanese food. It tasted like Pollo asado con Carne asada and arroz con huevo. They should rename the restaurant to " Taste of Mexico 🇲🇽 " but the food wasn't half bad. It just wasn't what I was expecting. They are open late, tho but I won't go back. Oh and while I was there, they sold a can soda to another customer that was FLAT and had expired in JULY! SO if you buy a can drink, check the date before you open it. They refused to exchange it and made them purchase a new can soda. So you've been...

So this place isn’t terrible. I’ve ordered takeout here around 5 times, and the food is quite delicious. I always get the chicken hibachi. And it’s relatively cheap as well!

Now when you call to place the order and when you go into pick up your food, the lady can come off as quite rude and can be rude.

I’ve observed that the language barrier is the main issue here. When you don’t understand her is when she seems to get rude. If you do understand her she can be alright lol. When I picked up my food just now, a man came in kinda telling her off and to stop being so rude to the customers, and that would be his last time going there. She’s not necessarily patient and doesn’t necessarily seem to try to enunciate better to ease the process.

I’ve never really had an issue with her though.

Take this information as...

I’ve had this place on my list for about a month now and finally went and dipped in for a quick sit and eat. I ordered the Hibachi Steak and Shrimp entree with a side order of dumplings. This was my first time having food from a Japanese styled diner but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was really good! The steak and shrimp was awesome and glad the rice was just how I liked it! The dumplings were really good as well. The chef did an excellent job! I also bought a bubble tea for the first time and it was great! The cashier Keisha (I hope that’s spelled correctly), did an amazing job. I definitely recommend this place for a nice, quick eat mid...
