The parking was ample and handicap accessible. As we entered Tokyo Japanese Restaurant we were greeted by an absolutely FABULOUS aroma of food!!! We were greeted immediately upon entry and seated promptly. Not only was the ambiance and lighting perfect but the seats and tables were the perfect size for the large portion meal we were about to devour... The ENTIRE staff were not only responsive and polite but they were bubbling with personality! You can tell immediately that everyone working there was very passionate about the restaurant and the level service they provided to all of their customers was superb! The staff literally made you feel like you're at home as they carried conversations with customers that far exceeded normal restaurant discourse. As for the drinks and food! Service once again far exceeded expectation! Everything from the green tea to the IPA beer were brought out expeditiously. The mango bubble tea and the Japanese soda my kids loved!!! The Japanese soda is packaged uniquely even when it comes to opening it... We started with appetizers: Spicy calamari, Negimaki and satay beef. ALL three were expertly prepared and packing so much flavor. The quantity of the entree dishes were on the large side. The flavor explosion continued with our main course consisting of: Evil Jungle Prince (House Special), Hibachi Geisha, Sushi combo, Sashimi Combo and Panang Chicken. ALL dishes were bursting with flavor and the quantity for all the dishes was robust to say the least! The wasabi was definitely home made. The presentation of the dishes was also well laid out in plates that were of high quality and weight. The Coconut Custard and Tempura Banana Ice Cream to finish / complement our wonderfully prepared and large portioned dinner were also an absolute delight!!! BRAVO ALL AROUND to the proprietor and the staff. This is a MUST EAT AT FINE DINING ESTABLISHMENT!!! What an OUTSTANDING experience!!! I truly can't say enough of how GREAT this...
Read moreThis is a very late review since I havent been able to really eat out here in a while due to the Covid situation.
I had ordered 2 appetizers and they were the asian beef jerky and the spicy sausage. I ordered the beef pho for my main dish and had some small rolls since it is a sushi restaurant.
The jerky was good and it was fried if I recall. The flavors were still good though but it wasnt oily which is great. The spicy sausage itself wasnt too spicy but the tomato sauce it came with sure had a kick to it.
I enjoyed the small handmade sushi rolls. You can see the people making the rolls at the sushi bar which is always enjoyable to watch. They are Yung(sp?) and his son(whose name I forget). They have been working together for a long time now. When there was the other Tokyo restaurant on Henrietta Townline road, they worked there for several years. There is more history to this name in henrietta and the news article on the walls go into further detail.
The Pho was a good size bowl and had plenty of filling into it. It comes with a side plate of thai basil, lime wedge, sprouts, and sauces. So you can spice up the soup and add a little sweetness if you prefer or enjoy it as it is which is perfectly fine to do also.
Every time Ive eaten here has been good and Ive never had any issues with the food or service. Its definitely a great place to try and worth the price. So the next time you are looking for a solid asian restaurant to try in Henrietta, go try this place...
Read moreWOW! This is some craveable food! I work in town and stay overnight on the weekends. Before my first trip to Tokyo, I scoured reviews to find an excellent place for dinner. I found it and keep coming back!
I usually sit right at the sushi counter. I love watching them make these beautiful, edible works of art! The sushi menu is massive and everything is SUPER fresh! It's so difficult to pick just 1 item on the main menu because as I read, my mouth just waters for everything. I'm convinced you can't go wrong with a single dish. Meals are cooked to perfection and loaded with flavor. The amount of food you get (especially for the price) can't be beat! I leave with a full belly and a stuffed to-go container for lunch the next day.
The decor is quaint and comfortable. The atmosphere is cozy, clean and welcoming. The staff is another one of my favorite aspects of this restaurant! After my first visit they knew my name and welcome be back each week with a smile! They are excellent about vegetarian and vegan orders.
Tokyo is a gem! I hope if anyone out there reading reviews looking for excellent food reads this and stops here! You won't be...
