Stepping into Tokyo Restaurant is like stepping into a flavor-packed slice of Japan, and its menu reads like a love letter to traditional and contemporary Japanese cuisine. As someone who lives for uncovering culinary gems, I found myself truly impressed by the artistry and range of dishes here.
Let’s start with the appetizers—each one a flavorful prelude to what’s to come. The Atsu Age (crispy fried tofu) is golden perfection with a silky inside, while the Beef Kushi skewers are tender and rich with umami. The Gyoza are pan-fried to a satisfying crisp, and the Hamachi Kana is a buttery delight for sashimi lovers. For those craving a crunch, the Hamachi or Tuna Roll Tempura offers a brilliant blend of texture and flavor.
Moving into the entrees, the classics shine with Tokyo’s signature twist. The Chicken Teriyaki is succulent and glazed with just the right amount of sweetness, while the N.Y. Steak Teriyaki satisfies any hearty appetite. The Salmon Teriyaki is beautifully seared, and the Unaju—a grilled eel over rice—carries a deep, smoky flavor. For a crispy indulgence, the Tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) is a golden, crunchy masterpiece.
The deep-fried rolls are showstoppers. The Tokyo Flower is vibrant and layered with flavor, but it’s The Godzilla that steals the show—massive, fiery, and unforgettable.
Dinner specials are thoughtfully curated, like the Shrimp and Veggie Tempura paired with a classic California Roll—light, crisp, and comforting.
And the new rolls? They’re pure innovation. From the creamy, crunchy Shrimp Tempura Roll to the fresh, avocado-loaded Caterpillar Roll, every bite is a discovery. Don’t skip the dramatic Lion King Roll or the beautifully balanced Eastbay Roll—both are must-tries.
Tokyo Restaurant’s menu is a delicious journey, and every dish feels like a crafted experience worth savoring.
