What an incredible find! Despite visiting Lake George during its Summer (read: peak) season, most places close at an unusually early hour. Being a group of two families, this made things even harder in terms of finding a place that was open as well as accommodating so many of us. Luckily we called the Tokyo Steakhouse and they were superbly kind to oblige us as it was the first night in Lake George and we weren't prepared for many of the restaurants to be closed early. What transpired was a lovely evening with plenty of food to choose from and experience authentic asian flavours across the board. Service was polite and really genuine in their ways and accommodated our various specifics from vegetarian options to needing to find something for the children. Located on the Main Lake George Street, once you have parked in the ample sized parking lot, you enter an archway covered by curtains. Once inside, you see a large bar on the right, kitchen access in the background and seating across the main hall. They had a tepanyaki style grill as well in another smaller room, but it was closed by the time we reached. We ordered from an array of food bento boxes, sushi, ramen bowls and desserts. In addition, they had a very cool "goli" soda like drink which seemed to have made its way all the way from Japan! The ambience was cozy, but I would have liked a bit more lighting. (Personal choice). Overall, well worth the visit and a must visit if you are...
Read moreNice enough, clean, but disorganized and a bit chaotic. Food was tasty and the majority ( but not everyone ) in our party enjoyed their dishes. The service was VERY inattentive. Our party was wanting for more drinks and waited a long time for the check. My Shrimp Teryaki bento box was tasty and fun and I feel it was an outstanding value at the price. My meso soup was average, but enjoyable. The calamari had an overly crumbly coating and is not among the best I've had, but again, enjoyable. The shrimp sashimi was fresh and well presented. A generously portioned sesame chicken was packed with broccoli ( which was NOT hot ). It had a tasty sauce but lacked sesame seeds, which was clearly disappointing being that it was sesame chicken. The salads were fresh and featured a ginger dressing that was excellent (very flavorful ).
I want to like this restaurant, because the food was tasty and they haven't been around too long. I feel like they are short-handed and are still finding their way. All in our party agreed to give them another chance because generally we did...
Read moreTravel to lake George for the 4th. And was looking for a hibachi place. And tried a couple and for a party of 6 it didnt work. So called TOKYO and they got us in for the time we wanted as we needed to be back in lake George for a fireworks cruise.. but when 8 pulled up the place looked abandoned. There was one car that n the lot and and building it's in poor shape. Need lot of work. But remember the saying dont judge a book by its cover.. that is TOKYO'S. I have been to alot of hibachi spot went we travel. Walk in and ghost town. Just 1 other family.
