I ordered a spicy salmon roll, shrimp yakisoba, house salad and miso soup was included.
The food was spoiled and for this genre of cuisine you need to be aware that this isn't a question of that discovery. Spoiled, expired, rotting. Let's get right to it. The spicy salmon sushi roll was inspected first. As I opened the lid it was the very overwhelming, musky odor. The salmon inside the roll was the texture of pulpy newspaper creating a minced type of filling. The seaweed was not sushi grade and the rice? Just a paste. Using the guidelines it is not just expired as the fish filling is definitely spoiled and due to the texture and very obvious sort of mucus/filmy/slime...
the smell is a very reliable way to send the meal back, speak with the manager, owner and you as a consumer have the right to let the public know exactly what danger you were exposed to, document it, use the guidelines and do not allow a public restaurant get away with just a bad review. Bad food and expired, spoiled food and yes if the last two are blatant then would rotting food move you to being appalled. I could say negligence? We can clearly can see, smell and taste.
I am obligated to file a full detailed report on what I was served, the condition of the food, details of the guidelines used to determine the approximate expired, spoiled, rotting time frame. The restaurant was closed when I called. If this was a bad fish on one dish, I would not be as alarmed and shocked.
So the other: shrimp yakisoba, miso and two house salads. I opened the lid and I gagged, the thick almost jellied, sticky, slime. I swallowed the sour and milky texture building in my my mouth from the unmistakable stench. If you are being met with aggression, humiliation, any Nonsense? I pick up the shrimp and I just bite. It was the sickening pop of expired shrimp meat and I couldn't swallow the stringy texture of rotting meat that was not freshly made.
So I paid 50 bucks for spoiled food. It was about an hour before closing. What other measures am I responsible? It depends on how much spoiled food, the type of food and if you ate the whole thing but one bite? Go to the ER. It's not joke. Don't go to bed angry.
Yes no one wants to deal with restaurant negligence but how would you feel if there was a similar if not exact experience had posted just a few hours prior to you browsing...
   Read moreReview: Tokyo Japan Restaurant on West Street, Wichita, KS
I recently dined at Tokyo Japan Restaurant on West Street in Wichita, KS, and I have mixed feelings about my experience. The restaurant offers a variety of Japanese cuisine, including sushi, soups, and steak, but there were some areas that fell short.
Starting with the soup, it was served warm, but I found that it lacked some flavors that I was expecting. As someone who enjoys bold and rich flavors in soups, I was a bit disappointed with the taste.
The sushi, on the other hand, was good despite falling apart. The presentation was visually appealing, and the taste was enjoyable. However, I did notice that some of the sushi rolls were not tightly rolled and tended to fall apart when picked up with chopsticks, which was a bit inconvenient.
Moving on to the seating, I was seated in one of the booths, but I found that the seats were worn-out and uncomfortable. The cushions were flattened, and it detracted from the overall comfort of the dining experience.
One highlight of the meal was the steak my wife ordered, which was cooked medium rare. She thoroughly enjoyed it and mentioned that it was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful flavor. This was one of the highlights of our meal.
Unfortunately, the service was lacking in some areas. We did not receive any refills for our drinks, which was disappointing and left us feeling a bit neglected.
In terms of the ambiance, the restaurant had a casual and relaxed atmosphere with Japanese-themed decor, but the worn-out seating did affect the overall impression.
In conclusion, my experience at Tokyo Japan Restaurant on West Street in Wichita, KS had some ups and downs. While the sushi was good, the soup lacked flavors, the seating was worn-out, and the service was not up to par. However, the steak was a standout dish, cooked to perfection. If improvements are made in the areas of flavor, seating, and service, it could enhance the overall dining experience at...
   Read moreI travel for work 1-3 nights every week and have for 15 years, I've eaten a lot of nice high end places and convenience store garbage, I've had the best and worst of it all. This has got to be some of, if not the best Japanese cuisine I've ever had. I can't wait to try it again, often the thrill of the first time I eat at a new place is lost on the second time I eat there, total fluke, hopefully this does not happen here. This evening I dined on a couple pieces of fresh sushi ( just cause...)and a meal of basic chicken and shrimp hibachi that was flavorful on such a savory level that it was exactly what you would hope for from high quality Japanese fare and the rest was made with the freshest of ingredients, absolutely delicious! complimented by an ice cold Kirin it was sincerely a meal I will never forget! I look forward to trying their filet mignon that they seem to be very proud of next time, I will post a follow up to that dinner soon. Let me re-iterate, I've eaten everywhere, this food was excellent, the facility is clean, quiet, cozy, and the wait staff was as polite and tentative as I could ask for, and seems to be a stellar quality off the beat hibachi and sushi bar. I have literally only left a few reviews of eateries all these years, most every place I frequent ends up mediocre or pretty good at best, a 3 or 4, not worth endorsing or warning of. This restaurant was definitely a 5 by "MY" standards and one worth writing about! Try it for yourself, make your own opinion, but I had a great experience and I hope for all of yuns it...
