Tokyo Sushi

Unfortunately - not so good - 2 stars.I should have taken the warning when I saw clutter & trash on the exterior of the building, on the south side, in addition to more stuff on the ground in front. I actually thought this restaurant location might be permanently closed. But I ignored my instincts, I tried the front door, and I went in inside!GOOD:1. The service was friendly. The food tasted fine. And the prices seem in line with comparable places.NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: 1. First of all (and worst of all), the whole restaurant smelled like poop when we walked in and throughout the entire time of our visit. Yuck! After thinking it over, my theory is that this was sewer gas. The smell seemed to be coming from the north side of the restaurant, where the restrooms are located. I'm not a plumber so this is just a theory. But whatever it was, it was disgusting.2. The staff seemed to be very concerned when I told them that I didn't know if we wanted the "regular" menu or the "all-you-can-eat" menu since it was our first visit. They actually wouldn't let us sit down. They made us stand by the entryway and pick a menu before we could be seated! This was pretty irritating. It was another lost opportunity where I should have simply turned around and walked out.3. The left (north) dining room area seems to have been converted to storage or a child care area or something. Whatever the function, it's tacky. Install a wall or a curtain, anyone?4. Finally, one of the staff had a small child that was running around and being super irritating. I don't mind seeing owner's children at businesses. Some owners even have the children help with small tasks. It's usually cute and endearing. But this scene was in another category...it was rude and distracting.5. All of these things make me VERY concerned about what's going on in the back kitchen. If this is what I can easily see (and smell) as a customer, what CAN'T I see (or smell) in back?I'm being generous and going with 2 stars because the food was good. But this is by far the worst Tokyo Sushi location I've been to so far. It's a shame because all of the things I mentioned are easy fixes. As for me, I won't go back to this location.-Maxx

My boyfriend and I's favorite thing to do is go to unlimited sushi! We've been to a couple of places around the city and this one was pretty good! We were sat immediately and the servers were kind and friendly. It was pretty busy but was pretty quiet and peaceful still. We were able to order right away and the rolls came out super speedy! I was bummed though that almost every roll fell apart when I picked it up with my chopsticks. They were very tasty tho! I would recommend the crunchy and Tokyo rolls. Overall I would recommend this restaurant!

Food is always good here for AYCE. Selection is standard for most AYCE, but they do have a few other kitchen special items that other spots such as a Kyoto does not have. Some of those items are: - salt and pepper shrimp (so yummy and always fresh - note: it typically is deep fried with the shell on) - roast duck (this is a hit or miss on flavor - sometimes the pieces are way too fatty with bones and fat)We did a few rounds of food, so some of the photos show what we ordered. Picture quality isn't the greatest but you can still see an idea of what their food looks like. Appetizers - yummy, comes out fresh, hot, and quick! Sushi rolls - sometimes the rolls do have a lot of rice - so be mindful of that when ordered bc it will fill you up quickly. Service has been great the few times we've visited. The servers are really nice and do their best to be attentive even when they are busy and have larger groups to serve. Location is great as it is located in a strip mall that has plenty of parking. The lot itself doesn't get too busy which is nice. Ambiance is nothing spectacular but they are able to accommodate larger groups which is a plus!

My go-to sushi spot if I'm just craving my regular sushi. The service is good and food is as good as you expect.

I happened to drive by this restaurant yesterday and would've eaten there then if they weren't closed on Tuesdays. So I had to wait until today. Tokyo Sushi charges less for lunch ($17.99) than comparable AYCE places like Kyoto Sushi in Coon Rapids. I had my usual favorites like rainbow roll but tried a couple of unique things on their menu such as onion soup. The fried rice seemed a bit bland. I also noticed tip jars by the cash register and where they make the sushi. I thought that was a bit tacky but still left one for my waitress who regularly checked to see if I wanted more food or water. I was also allowed access to an electric outlet in an employee station to keep my laptop charging while I ate. I prefer the ambiance of Kyoto Sushi, but may return to Tokyo Sushi in the future.

My friend recommended this place to us and I'm happy we went! We craving sushi and there is only one other place near us and they have been just 'ok'. For all you can eat, it seemed a little high at $31 per person. Some of the specialty rolls weren't special, but some were the best I've had at an all you can eat. FYI any soda or tea are an extra cost. Appetizers: miso soup (tasty!), gyoza (really good, be careful it comes up hot... the sauce was tasty but would ask for a side of it next time), and the squid salad (so good, we got 4 of them!). Squid salad was super tender and had an awesome marinade. Not fishy at all. So good! Surf clam sashimi was too chewy and a little fishy. I wouldn't eat it again. Sushi rolls: Snow Mountain: super weird with a ton of tempura flakes inside. It made me think of getting a mouth full of sawdust. Not savory. (Would not get again)Dynamite roll: it had good flavor and enjoyed it. Spider roll: lack of flavor and only tasted like deep fried crab and lettuce. Needed sauce. Rock n Roll: the best roll I've had in a sushi all you can eat! Had good heat with spicy crab on top and also tender asparagus. It was really fun sensory and also all over flavor. We ordered multiple of these. **GET THIS ONE!Dragon Roll: Eel roll but where was the eel?!? It was majority cucumber and a tiny slice of eel inside. Meats: Roast Duck: the sauce had really yummy flavor. Similar to a sticky teriyaki. The duck was tender but had so many bones in it that we barely ate any. Pork cutlet: we waited about 10 minutes for this one. My hubby said it was really good and the sauce was spot on. It's a tonkatsu sauce that was similar to A1 and worstcheshire. It smelt like Chinese 5 spice to me. Mussels in black bean sauce: normally we like these but the sauce was a little meh. It needed a little more bean paste. The mussels were large. Oh yeah... my teen got strawberry ice cream and it had chunks of strawberries in it. It looked yummy! I was too full at this point. Overall, we really enjoyed and will be back! We will be craving the squid salad and the rock n roll. We plan to check out lunch as it's significantly less expensive... I'm sure they won't have some of our favorite items though... we will see!

The Food is okay the standard sushi you can find at any restaurant. The service can be hit or miss depending on who is working. I sat down at my table and ordered my first plate. Once i finished none of the staffs came back to help me for 45 MINUTES. They might have been short staff that day but it wasn't busy and they notice me all done. They don't train their workers to make customers feel valued. The ambiance is decent. Everyone is polite and wants to help but i they feel they're over worked and it shows that they haven't hired new people. What a shame. I hope they can thrive because they're nice people. I have been a frequent customer but i have seen service go down so i might not come back

I am regretful when I have to leave such poor reviews. We had to get a quick lunch today and opted to try Tokyo Sushi in Brooklyn Center. We were seated quickly and the service was prompt and responsive throughout our entire experience. This review does not reflect the service as much as it does the cooking and the quality of the food. To begin, we ordered three miso soups which were hot and delicious. Then, we ordered a spicy tuna roll, dynamite roll, and out of control roll. The best one out of the three was a spicy tuna roll. The dynamite roll was served with brown avocado in the middle. It was also extremely mushy and we could not eat it, so we returned it. We also ordered vegetable fried rice. Instead, we were served vegetable noodles, so we had to re-order what we had actually requested. The shrimp tempura was served cold, and was sickeningly sweet and mealy tasting. I'llI also orders four pieces of nigiri that were all not fresh. We left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied. While it is an all -you-can-eat experience, fresh and hot food is a minimum of what should be expected.

We've been hitting up Tokyo weekly as a tradition every Monday. My daughter has fallen in love with the All you can eat...as shes a new sushi lover! Staff is always great! Food comes out fast! No complaints for either of us!!!! We'll see you Monday! As long as your open!!

My favorite all you can eat and go to sushi place. I think the service is awesome and the choices are great
