Tokyo Dori Sushi and Grill — Restaurant in Rocklin

The rib eye teriyaki today was TERRIBLE. I have been going there around once a month for almost 2 years and even tho the service has always been poor, the rib eye teriyaki WAS unique and exceptional. Apparently there is a new cook...I couldnt get a clear reason for the change. I did get a kind of "this is the way we are doing it". I said "then I won't be coming back". It didnt seem to have much impact on the staff. It was not tender as it has been in the past, nor did it have any flavor. So they made another batch. It was more tender and had a bit more flavor....of soy sauce. YUK. I ate about a third of the second batch because I was starving but immediately upon leaving, went to get ice cream to try to get rid of the lingering, salty after-burn of so much soy sauce.

When they brought the check, they asked if I wanted any boxes. I told them I didnt because the food just wasnt any good. OH yeah! I almost forgot, I ordered hot tea. IT WAS NOT EVEN LUKEWARM! When I told the waitress, she said, "oh really. Do you want me to heat it up?" Heat up tea that had been steeped in tap water??!! No, I dont think so. I was charged full price for the meal. No comp or discount was offered. I didnt see the point in arguing it since I had already made my case that I wouldnt return if this was the new way it was going to be prepared and that hadnt inspired them to try to retain my business. I had already made it clear that I had been coming for a long time and didnt understand why it didnt taste the same.

It's sad. I know restaurants are difficult businesses. Lots of turnover. The service has always been terrible but I was able to overlook it because of their teriyaki. Now that is apparently gone, I will NOT go back. It wasn't teriyaki. It...

I just moved nearby. saw some of the post and sounded like a good place to eat. service staff was friendly and was very timely on getting out our order. waitress stopped several times to ask us if we needed anything.

Saw a review or two about price. I thought it was perfectly priced.

We had a Mt. Fugi roll, a Hole in One roll and a third I can't recall and they all were awesome. Me personally, the Mt Fugi roll was my favorite. Also tried the Hamachi Kama (it's fish cheak and though it may sound weird, it's not, try it)... I've had it elsewhere and had to try it here and it didn't disappoint. Order it upon arrival, as it takes a minute to prepare... My lady friend also had a bowl of Miso soup, which she said was good.

Important for my family is handicap excesablity and there are plenty of open table areas for wheelchair and same with bathrooms.

(Added new comments 2019) Been coming here almost two years now. I've tried a lot of rolls and never had a complaint from anyone I've brought here. Im Adding the vegetable and shrimp tempura to my favorites..and again, try the Himatchi Kamma, it wont disappoint..if the owner Tommy stops by and ask to have a saki shot with him, do...

I rarely give a 5 star review, but this place deserves it.

Service was prompt and courteous. The server clearly knew the menu well and she made recommendations to us and accommodations for us. We were in a group, but she provided separate tickets. She didn’t hover, but was watchful when we needed refills of their truly delicious green tea and boxes at the end of our meal.

There is a wide variety of dishes on the menu. The lunch special is chicken teriyaki. A large serving of grilled chicken comes with white rice, a green salad, and your choice of potstickers or sushi roll. The chicken was grilled and served without sauce. Bottles of teriyaki, soy and sriracha were on the table so we could season our plate as we liked. Everyone was pleased with their choice and there were three clean plates at our table.

Though this place is in a small strip mall across from Sierra College, it was very quiet inside. An absolute must for us aging diners!

My ticket was $20, which is about in line with lunch specials these days and considering the generosity of the servings. Planning to return to...
