Tokyo Lunch Boxes & Catering

This is a place you go when you are craving sushi or udon but do not want to pay outrageous prices. They have a 2-​for-​1 deal Monday through Friday. It is from their premade selection only. The sushi was fresh for the most part, and I was able to get a very filling meal. For under $ 10, I got a spicy roll sampler and a rainbow roll. For some reason, the salmon was a bit more «fishy» tasting than what I would like. Service was almost nonexistent. The guy at the counter helped me pay but that was it.
Other times, I have had their udon soup. It is typically made fresh, but I do not think they make their noodles onsite. Very solid option otherwise.

Options not much but the quality & price is worth to try. Didn’t expect can get this quality in food cour… I means is better than our expectations :)

The only place that has authentic udon soup and miso soup. I live to eat these soups! And the eel roll is soooo good! Yummy! :)

I’ve gone here a couple times considering it’s only a couple minutes away by foot.
It’s located in the cafeteria section of H-​Mart so it can be pretty loud and busy.
Regarding the food, it was alright. I’ve had their sushi multiple times. They’re good. Not bad, not amazing. Just okay. Their meals are pretty filling. However, when I ordered the fish katsu, my fish was way too hard. It was a bit difficult to chew.
I also never eat the small side of salad they add to the meals because I don’t like the dressing they add on.
Like I said, the quality of the food is alright. It makes sense considering the cheaper prices.

Food:
Fish katsu ($ 7.99): food portion is decent and it comes out just cooked so unlike some sushi items, it’s fresh… tastes just ok.
*comes with miso soup with mushrooms in it (that’s a first).
Restaurant lacks.
–Communication: they need a microphone or something to call out the orders when it’s ready or delivery to the tables would be nice. :)
Costs: on the higher end for the portion/​quality of food, but I guess you can expect it from a food court.

Tokyo Lunch Box is just A-​OK. I used to work at an internship in the city, and ended up going to one of their other locations in Chicago and remembering it was decent sushi for its price.
It’s located inside of H-​Mart, which has a small Asian food court on the right side of the building. There are choices of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cuisine, a 180 degree difference from what you see in all other food courts.
I love the convenience of it because its super close to work, so when I crave sushi and don’t feel like ordering takeout from a nearby restaurant, I just come in and go in a manner of minutes. They have all types of maki rolls and nigiri ready to go, but you can also ask the chef for other requests. The quality of the sushi is a good 3.5÷4 stars considering where I get it from. It’s not as fresh, creative, or delicious as you may get from a high-​end restaurant, but it’s undeniably better than sushi from other grocery stores (Garden Fresh, Whole Foods, etc.). My favorite is the Spicy Tokyo Deluxe (picture attached). It comes with a 6 piece Spicy Tuna and 5 pieces of different nigiri.
I rate it 3 stars because I find the prices are too high for what I get. I have an amazing spot I go to near my work as well, and I get more sushi for less money there. Also, they are very cheap when it comes to ginger and spicy mayo. There is maybe 2 pieces of ginger in each box, and when I asked for extra, I was given a total of 6 small pieces. I asked for spicy mayo which I am sure I paid for, and I didn’t even have enough for all the sushi.
Regardless of my issues with this place, I still find myself here every once in awhile and I will continue to do so. The man working at the counter is very friendly and I don’t mind giving them more business. Also, they have a special (at least I remember seeing it awhile ago) where you buy one roll, get one or two free after 5 pm. I will def keep that in mind next time I stay at work late.

Loved it. The ambiance, the service, and the food were really good.

Inside the H-Mart’s food court…
I don’t eat in the food court often. but once in a blue moon… if we are grocery shopping, we may stop by for a quick bite to eat…
I keep forgetting that I don’t like their maki but since I’m not there very often, I tend to forget…
They have these «buy one get one free» deals after a certain time of the evening… probably the last 3 hours before closing time.
Basically, they bring over all the leftover sushi from their other locations and they are trying to get rid of them with the BOGO free deals…
The rice is very hard … and you can only get the cheap ones for free… buy the expensive one… and then cheap one for free…
To be honest, I don’t think it’s really worth the «free» deal…
On the side note, unless you are super hungry … in general, I wouldn’t really recommend eating in this food court, period. Everything is way overpriced!

«BUY ONE GET TWO FREE». My friend and I were looking for a place to grab a quick dinner and we passed by Tokyo Lunch Boxes. The workers were promoting their sushi deal. I think they have this special Monday-​Thursday from 6−9pm, or something like that. My friend and I decided to split some sushi. I had the spicy tuna with brown rice. It was my first time trying sushi with brown rice and I liked it! It was a good deal considering how much we got.

If it would be possible to give this place a zero star rating I would. Having just tried to buy dinner at this location, I was promptly shown the special buy one more expensive one get one cheap one free. After exploring the expensive options i decided to pay full price for the cheaper ones instead. At which point the guy behind the counter promptly took the contents out of my hand and told me to buy the special or nothing. Flabbergasted I walked away and came back a minute later to ask why the cheaper stuff has a price on it if it’s not for sale. At this point I think he realized he went to far and moved to what he thought was a middle ground and told me this once he would sell me the cheaper stuff without buying the expensive stuff as well. I was so upset I walked away and decided to post this to warn others. I will never grace this or any other Tokoyo Lunch Box in the future after this experience again. There a plenty of grocery stores that carry the same quality sushi for similar or cheaper prices.

I used to really enjoy this place in the Super H food court but after visiting Tokyo and eating sushi there I have since become a little snobbish. This place is a fast food type joint, with prepared foods at a cheap price. They’ll make for you too if you ask, either rolls or nigiri. But it just doesn’t have the freshness or quality that I’m looking for. The tuna is OK but it’s a little chewy. So, it’s a decent place for a snack if you’re shopping at H Mart but temper your expectations accordingly.

What Clifford J. said. I like their beef U-​dong, too. Very nice on a cold day.
If I’m looking for a specific sushi roll that is not ready-​made, the chef will make it for me, no problem. I also like a nice cucumber salad with my meal and he’ll make that for me fresh any time.

I keep coming back to this place (might have to do with the H-​Mart that it is in but regardless…)
This little shop still has some of the best rolls. Come late and some days and they have a 2 for 1 special.

Everytime I go to Super H-​Mart, I always look forward to going here to get my fix of a roll or some udon. The sushi’s cool but a lil overpriced. They cater though so it’s a convenient two birds with one stone if you’ve gotta get some groceries at H-​Mart for a party that’s going to be serving sushi.
