Monday we went to Tokyo Endless Hibachi & Sushi at 19451 Cochran Blvd Suite 700-900, Port Charlotte. It is close to Publix off of Cochran. The place is larger inside than it looked outside and it was very clean, tastefully decorated and well-lit. We did not know what to expect TBH. We are not familiar with Japanese cuisine, but our grandson had been there before and said we should try the all-you-can-eat option because the portions are smaller and you can choose a wide range of options so you can taste different dishes. It made sense to us since we really did not know what we wanted anyway. It turned out that this was the perfect option for us! The option was about $20 per person, which we felt was reasonable. Our server was friendly, polite and professional and explained how it all worked. He was very attentive. When the food arrived, it was hot and tasty. It was also visually appealing. We started with Gyoza. I also had the Kani Salad and the Miso Soup. For the main course I had the Hibachi Shrimp and my friends had the Hibachi chicken. One person ordered Ice Cream for dessert. Mind you, these are smaller portions and you can order whatever is on the special menu as many times as you'd like. As I said, we were very satisfied with what we got. There is a special lunch menu with the options being about $11 or $12 but with those, you don't get to try different dishes. They are more like the traditional lunch menu items. We ALL were very happy with what we got and we will be back to try the other menu items as well. If you are looking for something different, I would encourage you to check out. They also have an extensive sushi menu if you are into that. Check out Tokyo Endless Hibachi & Sushi. You will be...
Read moreMy wife and I have been to this place 3 times. Once with friends, once with the family and once by ourselves. Every time has been a wonderful experience. The food has been delicious every time. The service has been on point and frankly the price can’t be beat for the “all you can eat” Japanese cuisine.
In my experience the food is better than most other places I’ve visited, although the portions aren’t a lot, which I tend to like as I don’t like seeing people waste food.
They do have a wonderful vibrant atmosphere with decor which I find delightful. The staff has always been nothing but friendly and the robot does add to the entertaining atmosphere.
The times we’ve gone haven’t been too busy but the customers seem to be happy and I’ve noticed many are returning customers.
Our server Kathy, couldn’t have been more attentive and engaging which I always appreciate.
This place has easily become one of my wife’s and my favorite places to dine. I do suggest going here during the lunch hours as it’s much cheaper, although they don’t have the full menu but there is still tons to choose from. If you don’t mind spending the extra $10 per person, then I’m sure you’d enjoy the dinner menu just as much if not more.
I’m sure their are better places out there, none I’ve visited. And the selection of sushi isn't as grand as other “sushi” places but you can’t beat the all you can eat at the price you pay.
Additionally, I would like to add that the portions for the sushi have gotten bigger since our first time dining there.
I hope you enjoy! And thank you for the nice time out...
Read moreThis is the only restaurant of its kind in the area- a fixed price sushi menu for all-you-can eat. At first glance, you would expect to get what you have paid for; but, having visited many of these types of establishments- this one falls, unfortunately, short of the mark.
Much of their specialty roll menu is prohibited from the all-you-can eat menu, and you are fed and highly suggested to order "k"rab and shrimp rolls so that they can meet their margins. Conversely, ordering exclusively raw fish rolls was also lackluster. Spicy salmon rolls came out looking like tinned cat food meat, and it as well as the spicy tuna rolls were served lukewarm- very unappetizing.
Service was attentive, however, I had felt rather disrespected at the moment of greeting. I was asked if chopsticks were fine; or, if I would rather have a fork. The inverse of asking this question to an Asian dining guest at any American restaurant would NOT be okay- am I wrong in thinking this?
One thing to note is that even at a prime dinner rush, ordered rolls come out at a lightning pace. This could be interpreted as a positive but I found it rather disconcerting (see aforementioned raw rolls arriving at a room temperature).
This is a fun, novelty, sort of place for someone that has never had sushi before in their lives- those people will enjoy it. If you have ever not had bad sushi, you will be...
