Tokyo Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar

Absolutely BEST sushi in Oconee County! Consistently quality food and service. ONLY possible downside; it can get very crowded when Clemson plays at home!

Awesome sushi rolls. Best sushi you will find in upstate sc. Also the most authentic Japanese food you will find in the area also.

Went here to get hibachi with 12 friends, they seated us took our order and served us from the kitchen (not the grill) without a prior notice. Turns out one hibachi chef was out of town, and the table seated after U.S. Got him. All the food was served burnt and lukewarm. Was very frustrating.

Came to Seneca on a work business trip and heard of Tokyo from a colleague. Started off with edamame which were very good and very warm, but not too warm. I ordered the volcano roll, a spicy tuna and a rainbow roll (hey might as well get three tolls on the company’s dime, huh?). Each of these rolls was very good. They tasted very fresh and were rolled well. The volcano was my favorite. The crispy spicy crab on top was excellent. Prices were very reasonable. Would definitely recommend!

3.5 Stars Actually
Been here about 3X times now, first 2 service was so-​so, short handed on wait staff, only have one Chef that does Hibachi…
Sushi always taste fresh, lots of choices, great service this visit. Clean and great menu choices on food and drink is a plus. Bust service does fluctuates with how busy and who is working.

Awesome sushi… Best I have had in months… wished my appetizer made it out before the check however we did get our yellow tail sushi on the house… Will definitely be back. Our waitress, Lacy was awesome…

I was, rather pleasantly, surprised this place has pretty good sushi in SC. Much better than Chin Chin in Seneca. no comparison actually.
I ordered a lunch plate which comes with 2 choices of sushi/​rolls and tempura. I also ordered squid sushi. The size of sushi and the freshness were both quite good.
I have 4 stars. because it was clean and the waitstaff were friendly, but they didn’t have many selections of fish. I am guessing not that much choice in SC. Also, be sure to avoid Sundays, as they are closed.
I am from Japan. and I would recommend this place. Great lunch!

One of my favorite sushi places and I have been to around 10 just in the upstate of SC. The firecracker roll is my favorite and get it each time I go, they also have good hibachi and if you have reservations can have it cook it right in front of you like at Miyabi. If you are in the area or live here and like sushi… you gotta try here. Great lunch and student prices as well.

I’ve never been overly excited to eat at Tokyo, but I just wanted to comment that the Vegetable Special Roll, which might seem a bit overpriced on the menu, is actually quite delicious. It’s filled with a bunch of very asian flavors, such as tofu skin and seaweed salad. I was more satisfied after this one roll than the two-​roll student special.

Best sushi in town BY FAR. Incredible staff, quick service even when they’re quite busy. There’s a hibachi room and regular table dining. The fried rice is different, but good. Another great highlight is that the menu had detailed descriptions and PICTURES of ALL sushi and most other dishes. I’m a visual eater and I appreciated this in helping me choose.

I’ve been here several times and if you’re looking for sushi in the area, this is the place to go. Good food, friendly wait staff and great prices.

My wife and I had a chance to get out of the house when family was in to watch our young daughter — we took it up and went to Tokyo Japanese Steak house for some sushi. It was great atmosphere. We were quickly greeted and seated. The waitress came over and got us some drinks and then came back for our order. The Miso soup and ginger dressing on the salad was very good. We ordered some sushi. It came out and was great compared to others we have tried in town — definitely some very unique specialty rolls that were full of flavor and not covered in sauce or any gimmicks. We thought it was a very reasonable price. The only reason why they don’t get 5 stars is because our waitress, who was quite new, had a problem entering another tables order in the machine when our sushi was ready (it was sitting on top of the bar). Every other waiter and waitress walked by and looked at the tag and let it sit there for more than 10 minutes before our waitress was freed up to bring us the food… Other than that we had a great time and despite their lack of teamwork we will be going back for more because it was a great price and great food.

Love the sushi at this place. Probably the best sushi in town.

I guess for SC it wasn’t bad… but it’s no NYC sushi.

Earlier tonight, I patronized a different local establishment (not Tokyo Japanese Stk House) in the Clemson area for sushi, and I was very disappointed. In fact, I was so unhappy that I threw out most of my purchase and decided to give Tokyo Japanese a try. I am GLAD I DID!
Tokyo Japanese Stk House was a major improvement! From the minute I stepped in the door I could tell the difference. The staff was pleasant, the vibe was relaxed, and most of all, the sushi was much better. I can’t say it’s the best I have had, but I can definitely say it’s the best I have had IN CLEMSON (out of three experiences thus far).
I went light with the B52 roll and some unagi and ikura and ordered it for takeout. See photo for the presentation. I was happy, the price was OK (not great, just OK) and overall the experience was good. I’ll be going back next time I am in town and getting a more extensive sampler. One negative — no hotate (raw) available. Only cooked. They said that ‘no one around here asks for it’. I find that hard to believe in a college town, but who knows? Maybe they need to offer it marinated in beer!

I cannot say if this is the best sushi restaurant in Clemson, because I have not yet tried the Blue Heron, but it is definitely the best lunch you can get around here (and possibly the best dinner). The food is always fresh, the service is good and the atmosphere is nice and intimate. Our favorites include the geisha roll, salmon crunch, spicy tuna rainbow roll and and fried eel. The $ 7.95 sushi lunch specials are tasty and come with a side of tempura vegetables. We stick to sushi, but I the hibachi items seem to be really popular and I’m sure they are delicious. Extra bonus: they have a private upstairs room that can be reserved for groups. It is nice to have such a great sushi place in town.

tokyo sushi bar is best of world.
fish soooo fresh,
so many kind roll
and hibachi is amazing~
birthday? they‘re sing a song with drum…^^ very fun.
i need to eat everyday…

If you’re going to have sushi in Clemson, this is the place! Nice variety of rolls, fairly inventive. Good presentation. Service was a little slow, but they were über-​busy too. Husband had the geisha roll and the firecracker roll. Thumbs up on both. Ordered the yellow tail sashimi, which brought a TON of fish. Also had the kiwi roll, which was extremely good. Everyone left very full and happy. Can’t speak for any sake offerings, as we went on a Sunday.

Good sushi. Good service. Resonable prices.

A MUCH better experience!
Order the dragon roll … it is über yummy delicious-​oh. It has eel, shrimp and avocado. We also had the New Zealand mussel croquette (my favorite menu item!), a First Love roll (also good), spicy tuna, eel, and smoked salmon.
At first glance, I was a bit wary of the spicy tuna because it looked like the tuna had been attacked by a food processor; however, it was very good and indeed had a nice spicy kick. Concentrate on the taste, not the texture.
Although there were a few minor mishaps with the ordering (we requested sashimi instead of nigiri but did not receive the sashimi) and timing of the food (appetizer arrived after the sushi), the service was good and the waitress was apologetic about the tardiness of the appetizer. We also appreciated the complimentary pineapple boat that arrived post-​meal. =)
Yum!
