Tokyo Garden — Restaurant in Downey

Where to start... 4 of us ladies decided to come here to eat late night (because they close at 10:30) we walked in a girlfriend wanted coffee they have a coffee machine so she puts in .25 cents and her coffee was served she bought 2 more both progressively lighter than the other. The last one looked like dirty see through water. The workers laughed when we told them. When we sat down it took us 20 minutes to get a waiter BUT there were 4 people chatting at the register (1 lady and 3 guys) we caught the man cleaning the tables and told him who was supposed to wait on us he said "no one's come, its been a long time." We thought the same. So this guy comes takes our drinks. We order and the food comes out i ordered the #20 teriyaki rolls, they were gross, dry and burnt edges i banged some pieces against the plate and it it clinked against the plate. Its about 10:00 and we get the bill, we thought, we just got served what the heck! So he comes back 15 minutes later "We're about to close the registers, if you could please make uour payment. He stood there looking at me and my girlfriend for a solid 3 minutes then he walked behing me to look at my other 2 girlfriends to do the same. We felt SO uncomfortable. We still had 15 minutes left, we don't see eachother that often. So we pay out bill and we want to pay 4 ways. They do not accept more than 2 cards per payment. So needless to say this place was not what we had in mind and we will NEVER be coming back to eat here. We'll just take our $96 bill elsewhere, thank...

From the moment you step into Tokyo Garden, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. This isn't your typical sushi joint; it's a vibrant space that manages to be both casual and classy. The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly, making you feel like a valued guest. (Shoutout to the servers who consistently go above and beyond!)

The menu is extensive, offering a fantastic array of fresh, high-quality Japanese cuisine. Sushi lovers will be in heaven with their creative and delicious rolls (the Hawaiian and MGI rolls are must-tries!), but there's so much more to explore. The soft shell crab is perfectly crispy, and the garlic green beans are an addictive side dish. They also have a great selection of vegan and vegetarian options, making it a perfect spot for groups with diverse dietary needs.

Here's what makes Tokyo Garden a 5-star experience:

Fresh and Flavorful Food: The quality of the ingredients shines through in every dish.

Exceptional Service: The staff is friendly, attentive, and efficient.

Vibrant Atmosphere: The restaurant has a lively and welcoming ambiance.

Diverse Menu: There's something for everyone, including sushi, cooked dishes, and vegetarian options.

Great Amenities: They offer outdoor seating, a full bar, and convenient services like delivery and takeout.

Whether you're a sushi aficionado or new to Japanese cuisine, Tokyo Garden is a must-visit in Downey. I highly recommend it for a memorable...

Below average sushi restaurant.

We visited over the weekend and had the lunch bento box. Not only was the server unhappy to work there, they got our order wrong. It took a while to get our food so we didn’t bother asking the server but the server also didn’t offer to make things right despite hearing us say that we got our food wrong. We got the 2 entree bento. We got the salmon teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki. All meat were over cooked and dry. Little teriyaki sauce that wasn’t brushed but dripped. The sushi roles were average. Miso soup, edamame, side salad also average. The most random side dish were potato wedges that were cold and tasteless that felt like space fillers.

Maybe we should have gotten the special sushi rolls because we were so disappointed in the bento boxes. The price was above average too for a average portion. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Parking is availble and seating was availble without a reservation. Rest of the staff were nice except the one...
