“Everything I’ve tried here is good and I’ve tried most of the menu. Their yellow curry is one of my all time comfort foods. Their sushi and hibachi are also really good. Their service is great. The staff is young but the staff that have been there a while are awesome and really take care of you. I’ve moved away and I still crave this place.“

“I love coming here. Kristy and her team always make us feel special. The food is amazing! We love Chef Poncho for making Sushi! He have us right every time. We eat here twice a month. We come for the atmosphere and the good food! The music is always on point! Excellent Service!“

“There was a disruption with the terminal at the register and the servers were so nice! They apologized a lot and gave another dish as a sorry for their mistake. I wasn’t originally very offended, as this happens a lot, but it touched me to see how much they tried to fix their mistake. Love this place! Always have adored the food!“

“Had a late lunch today with my bride of 44 years. I had the basic special of five different rolls and she had the chicken ketchu (sp?). Every item was spot on! You could taste the freshness of the fish with the taste and texture of the chicken OUTSTANDING! From the young man that brought our salads to the young lady that was serenading us to the conversations with the staff every thing about the meal, the ambiance and service was FIVE star. Thank you for a great meal.“

“Regarding the food, some are very delicious but other times it lacks a little more flavor, with respect to the service it is more or less since it is very difficult to communicate with the people who serve and with respect to the atmosphere I think it would be more pleasant if the tables and chairs were organized and not accumulated on one side.“

“I’ve lived in many different states, had sushi from a ton of places, but the sushi here was AMAZING!!! It’s hard to find good fresh salmon sushi!! And the Pho was amazing as well!!!!“

“The plain facade on the front of the building holds a delicious surprise when you walk into the door. As you walk closer to the cash register the Amazing aromas come from the very talented cooks. Freshly cooked ingredients are made to order with care and time. The food had a delicate balance of flavors which can be tasted by taste buds. The prices are reasonable. Sorry people, I didn't take pictures.“

“Sumo has some of the best sushi that I have tasted! Not to mention the hibachi is amazing! Fast friendly service and you can also order online. Give them a try!“

“I barely eat Asian food, so this review is based solely on my 14-yr-old son's opinion. And he LOVES Tokyo Grill Japanese restaurant. This kid has had me ordering sushi left and right since learning about this place from my vegetarian little brother ☺️I've visited this location on Summer Ave and the one on Austin Peay. I've read some of the reviews and I have yet to experience bad customer service or bad-tasting food (which my son would have to confirm). I really hope that doesn't happen, 'cos my son loves their food. I'm the one who pays for it, though.And I'll tell you another thing, I almost couldn't find the place because Google Maps GPS signal was so bad! And because of where it's located...to the back and in between the other businesses off of Summer??‍♀️ Plus, it also smelled like urine where I had to park?“

“Tokyo Grill delivers a solid dining experience with great food, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere. The food is fresh and flavorful, definitely above average, earning a solid 4 stars. The service is outstanding—staff are friendly, attentive, and quick, making the experience even better. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and welcoming, creating a nice spot to enjoy a meal. Overall, a great place for quality Japanese food with top-notch service. Worth a visit!

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are solid, with a good selection of fresh vegetable hibachi, tofu dishes, and sushi rolls that don’t skimp on flavor.

Kid-friendliness: Not“

“So honestly we enjoy Sekisui Midtown. Only our second time going. First time had 4 amazing roles between the two of us. Tonight we went and wanted to try something different than our first time. And while we did not care for one of the roles, which happens, I was disappointed in a specific order for the Alaskan role. The menu calls for blue crab, and what we got was a karb stick. Now I don’t mind paying for a karb stick but I don’t like being given karb when blue crab is on the menu. I asked the waitress when she came over what was in the role and she correctly pointed out that it was a karb stick. I informed her that was not what then menu calls for. She offered to discount that role. When the check arrived she took 20% off that individual role. So we paid $9 for a karb stick. This is a swindle. If I hadn’t asked they would have passed off blue crab at karb prices. They should have simple come and said we are out of blue crab but can substitute it for XXX would you still like that. We will give them another try, but I will be more careful when the food is delivered to make sure we are getting what we ordered. Suggest you do the same.“

“Look I work as a union construction worker. I had little time for my 30 minute lunch however! They were so fast! And the chicken fried rice was delicious! Make sure to leave a good tip and be kind. Amazing food. I'll be back tomorrow. Same bat time. Same bat place.
