Great food at great prices. I ordered the beef bibimbap (forgot what it was called on the menu) and it was honestly the best I've ever had. Our server, Mary, was frequently checking in to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be back!

What made this meal and experience AMAZING was our server- Francesca. She was professional, friendly, and just a truly endearing person. She is an absolute asset to this establishment and we hope they know it! The restaurant itself is small and sparse, chairs aren't the most comfortable, definitely not a luxurious atmosphere- More bar than upscale eatery. Our food was quick, hot, fresh, and very good! My biggest gripe is that they add a 3% upcharge to your bill. In small print at the bottom of your receipt, it says that you can request to have it removed, but who is going to read that when you're wrapping up your meal (AND... after a pitcher of sangria LOL)?! For that reason, I won't be returning as I feel this practice is dishonest and extra charges should be mentioned when you're presented with your bill (not for you to discover later when you're at home and wondering why dinner cost so much). But, if you're in the mood for Asian fare with a twist and you don't mind paying above menu pricing for your food, check this place out- Just be sure to ask for Francesca!

The husband might think it’s just Chinese food, but the wife knows better. If you love hoisin sauce and sushi (and maybe earning some Lettuce points) then this place is your jam. AAAND you can do a bang bang - eat here and then walk through the doorway to Shaws for some real seafood!Things to try at Tokio Pub (pics included!)- their take on crab Rangoon in a tempura deep fried sushi rules - it’s the cream cheese your mouth didn’t know it needed!- volcano roll - made with a soy paper wrap instead of the traditional nori paper. While not the traditional roll, you’ll definitely enjoy the fresh chunks of tuna which gives it a summer roll taste- pork belly buns - If you love pork belly then it’s business as usual here. Will hit the spot.- got here in time to try their $1 tacos! Not bad but not worth it. The meat is very over sauced and combined with the pickled slaw it was not the best of flavor combos.Every dish is essentially $16. We got 5 plus ice tea - $100 for two people.Will be coming back!

We had pork ramen, red dragon rolls, and tried their Hot Rock appetizer. Absolutely to die for! the hot rocks are insane. you cook your own filets on them! delicious. their miso is rich and delicious. i’m a little bit of a wimp with spice, and got my red dragon without jalapenos and got spicy mayo on the side. perfect. our waitress was excellent and made us feel at home.

Our first time at Tokio Pub and most likely not heading back again. The food was not bad at all. We had the volcano, the rainbow, miso soup and the yellowtail nageri. All were good tasting. Our server couldn't have been nicer! But the ambiance was not what i expected at all. Odd decor and seating sections. To bad.

Started with the one of each of the hot rocks. Was just the right amount for the 4 of us. Wait staff caught 2 of us struggling with chop sticks and were quick to give us practice ones that they have on hand. Made eating so much easier. In March they have a special street food menu so 2 of us ordered tacos and satay from that menu. Each was 3 pieces. Rest of the table ordered an assortment of sushi. The volcano roll was a favorite but they were all great. Over all the food was wonderful and the staff made us feel like family. We will be returning soon.

Innovative Asian menu. We had some rolls, sashimi and a clay pot dish (chicken crispy rice, I think). All were delicious. Service was friendly and perfect. Happy hour deals on appetizers, beer and sangria are great.

The food was good. The waitress was very attentive. Overall service was great.
First time here. There was a problem with service even before we sat down. I guess they were short staffed. One of the servers was quite upset about the shortage. Finally got seated. Table felt dirty, and the place had a “not clean” smell. Service was slow. Food was good, but not enough to get me to return. This was a birthday celebration, and it felt not-so-special.

In town from Southern California, went to lunch and ordered a Rainbow roll and Miso soup. The waitress was amazing, so nice and informative. The atmosphere was great and I was extremely excited to try the sushi. The roll came out with incredibly small portions of fish on top. ( which I am very grateful for now after tasting it it) the first bite I had, the fish smelled and tasted so fishy. If you are a sushi enthusiast you know good sushi does not smell or taste like fish. I was hesitant to try the next piece as it was a different fish. That one was ok, but since the horrible fist bite nothing tasted right after that. Hours later I am still belching up bad fishy taste in my mouth I can just puke. In addition to that they add a three % fee to your check for a service fee???? Great charge me for your bad fish and a servive fee. Update: still very sick from the bad fish!

I'm giving it a 3 star. We have several LEY here in the city that are consistently above average that we do like to frequent so we thought we'd give it a try.. We've also been the crab place before too so.. We had a decent overall experience mainly because of our nice and attentive and knowledgeable server. It's such a rare occurrence to have that so kudos for that:) Spring Rolls were decent, nice crunch, flavor. Sushi rolls were ok. Nothing wow'd us. Mango salad. Fail. Hard unripe mango?? Chintzy on the avocado too. Spring lettuce mix. Why do chains bother serving unripe stuff? Why can't they figure out how to let fruit ripen? I wonder? I can do it so?? It's a PEEVE of mine. Probably wouldnt return. Too many better sushi type places for same $. Happy hour here is probably worth it.

A great high top table and our server Jess was very nice and friendly and attentive. Made our evening fun with telling us about items on the menu. The hand rolls are excellent and the sashimi. Very high quality but what else would you expect from a Lettuce Entertsin you restaurant. And the hot rock was a fun choice. Very tasty.
