Tokio Sake

I've been returning here to three times a month.The owner is a very friendly woman and she encourages us to create our own role with ingredients that we have come to love.The hibachi wonder appetizer is fantastic as well as the spicy tuna rolls.They can make pretty much anything on the menu Without rice so no carb friends can enjoy themselves there as well.The staff and Sushi chefs are treated with respect and offer. Incredible service. I'll be there on Sunday.

Really nicely crafted sushi. Strongly recommend the lemon sushi - forget the name. You eat it whole with the lemon rind. Delicious!! The sushi chefs put a lot of work into their craft here, and it's nice to be able to see them working on it behind the counter if you dine indoors. There is outdoor seating available as well, but we chose to sit inside because it was chilly.

First time visiting Tokio Sake and I am impressed! Food was high quality for cost. Presentation was good for takeout too. I had the chirashi bowl which contained a huge variety of sashimi. The star was the crispy tuna roll which my husband and I split. Only complaint was that we did not receive an order confirmation until the next morning so we had to call in to see when it would be ready.

It is a lovely place for dinner - it is cozy and atmosphere transforms you to Japan. It has a sushi bar when you can see the sushi chefs meticulously preparing the sushi. The staffs are always friendly and ready to answer questions you have on the menu. Let's talk about the foods! We enjoyed their sushi here. The quality of their sushi was one of the best in the area. While the menu didn't specify gluten-free options, the wait staff was able to help to identify what modifications could be done (where it was possible). We haven't tried their cooked food yet, but for sure will be back to try more.

I dined here this past Monday night 8/12 because my favorite Japanese restaurant (Sagano in Barrington) is closed on Mondays and I was craving sushi and have been very curious about Tokio Sake for years (and previous clients of mine gave them rave reviews)! In brief, I had a great meal and overall experience here and would definitely come back! I love their huge menu which has a lot of variety and tons of interesting and delicious choices! I had 2 appetizers (Hamachi Wonder and Fresh Off the Boat), for entrees I had the Golden Lion maki roll and about 12-14 pieces of nigiri (eel, salmon roe, flying fish roe, wasabi flying fish roe, salmon, fatty salmon, salmon belly, fatty tuna, and mackerel)! All the food I had that night was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented! The only thing that kind of bummed me out though, was that not all the menu items were in stock like the uni (sea urchin) and tiger eye...but no big deal (I can just hit Sagano or Kaido in Arlington Heights for those)! My server, Min, did a great job taking care of me--she was very pleasant, knowledgeable, quick and efficient! I also loved how personable and engaging their head sushi chef was too (my table was next to the sushi bar)! The interior of the restaurant was spacious, clean and had dark wooden minimalist decor! Last, I loved the restaurant's Deer Park location: they're about 10 minutes or so from home, plus they're in a great shopping plaza that has my favorite stores I shop at like Cold Stone Creamery (which they're next to), Apple Store, Williams & Sonoma, Crate and Barrel, and Barnes & Noble! Again, I would definitely come back to this restaurant!

We had a nice experience overall. The special Bluefin Tuna sashimi was delicious especially the fresh wasabi. Our server was knowledgeable and didn't hover. We both liked what we ordered. The restaurant is clean and well lit. We will be sure to go again.

Last Saturday, We had a wonderful dinner, great service, at Tokio Sake. During our dinner my husband lost his wedding ring of 62 years at the restaurant. We called this restaurant and every other place we were at that weekend to see if his ring was notice and found. Thanks to an honest, dedicated cleaning employee, my husband's wedding ring was found by their staff member at Tokio Saki. We received a call by the manager to come identify and he returned the ring to my husband. In a world culture of dishonest and self seeking individuals, we found one employee, one restaurant, one dedicated staff that cared enough about one persons heartbreaking loss to search and find. I urge everyone to patronize this excellent restaurant. Great food, service customer service. The

Love this place for years... just my favorite for sushi. The spicy tuna crunch is amazing and a personal favorite. The orange chicken is very good not overly sweet. Julia the owner and staff are friendly and the service is good. You can dine outdoors and the interior is cute too.

I wish this restaurant was in the city!!! They should be 100% more popular than they are. Food is presented beautifully and uniquely, the service is fast and so polite! This restaurant is my new favorite i literally cannot stop going and i live 8 miles away!!! This restaurant has so much potential and they would absolutely thrive in downtown chicago. I cannot stress enough how much i love this place.(My only thing is they should play different music!!)

I'd give Tokio Sake 10 stars, but the rating system doesn't go that high :)Awesome food, fresh, consistent!Every time I return I am confident it'll be just as good, if not better than the time before. exquisite tastesPictured:AmaebiSake (Fresh)Maguro (Bluefin)Hotate
