Went there on a Friday night. They were basically empty, especially for a Friday night. Food was delicious… however, the waiter we had was beyond horrible. He would walk away mid sentence, generally gave the impression that he was annoyed to be a waiter, and at one point my friend said she was ready to order another sushi roll and he ignored her request and walked away. Came back a few minutes later to take it. Generally unconcerned with customer service, timeliness, or helping with any questions we have. which is the main three jobs of being a waiter. I used to be a waitress, so I am not just complaining about my expectations for eating out not being met… the service was beyond bad due to this waiter. Even though Food was good, service was horrible… so I won’t be interested in going back. When we expressed our concerns about the poor service to the owner /manager, we were not compensated or given a discount or even an apology. The only apology we got was from the hostess. Which, as a business owner myself is unacceptable.

Ok first of all Im a vegetarian so I can’t comment on how fresh the fish is. But my friends said that the fish is pretty fresh. There is a decent amount of selection but not for a vegetation. My issue with this place was the service. No welcoming. We had to ask the waiter 2x to bring out some of the food that was missing and even then we didn’t get everything. And it wasn’t like it was busy there was just one other couple there. He was not friendly, kept asking if we were done. He picked up our beer bottles and gave them a shake to feel if there was still any left in them. Like really you can’t ask if I’m done with my drink. When it was time to pay he just stood there. I’ll never go back because of the service.

I had posted before about the time and disappointment with the waiting for the food… well form there they have one upped their utterly horrendous service by making what can best be described as sushizilla… If the past I had ordered a couple rolls and they were your normal everyday rolls, yesterday I decided to do the AYCE and they packed on so much rice it looked as if it had 2−3X the normal amount. Obviously the are looking to keep your roll count down by literally trying to choke you with rice. I hope they enjoy the very last dollar they see from me, bye Felicia.

The sushi is very fresh and properly prepared. I like the sushi platter that serves 6 – 8 people; if offers a nice variety. Prefer Asian Tokyo over the nearby competition primarily because the seafood tastes fresh. The staff is very courteous. Once, the manager helped me to my car when I had my grandson in tow, and since it was his birthday, the manager gave him a balloon and a soda! Very nice to customers!

Asian Tokyo is the perfect Chinese and Japanese fusion, if you like sushi it this is your spot! The all you can eat sushi is the way to go. They have tons of choices but make sure you go hungry because you have to pay for what you don’t take. The service was good but it wasn’t consistent throughout our visit. Keep up on the water!!! I will definitely be back again!

My family came here because of a certificate that we got, and I was unimpressed. I am usually very excited for sushi, as it’s my all time favorite cuisine, but sadly, Asian Tokyo did not hit the spot. I understand why non-Authentic sushi lovers would like to go here because the sushi rolls are cheap and heavy on the fru fru sauces/cream cheese/fried tempura. They also have a very good all you can eat sushi deal and a large selection of Chinese dishes that aren’t bad– we tried the orange chicken and Singapore mei fun noodles. However, when it comes to sushi, I like the real raw fresh stuff, and Asian Tokyo sushi is far from it. Service was also sub par– our waitress didn’t seem like she knew much about the menu. So if you like the Americanized fru fru-not-really-sushi rolls, then come here for the all you can eat! Otherwise, go to a more authentic Japanese restaurant like Daruma.

They aren’t very expensive, have good groupons, huge portions… But the fish is not that fresh. It seemed a bit chewy to me and the coloring was off. But… I still gobbled it up because I’m a sushi beast. Pretty sure this led to food poisoning for me which led to an unpleasant 24 hours. 4 Rolls were $ 35.70, the prices aren’t horrible, the rolls were tasty… but something was ever so slightly off masked by the layers of spicy mayo & deep frying. I wish I could say more positive things about Asian Tokyo because the location is a rotating door of different food places. My thought — Asian Tokyo will be one more that bites the dust in this location.

Food was decent, service, not so much. Ordered the All You Can Eat… 2 of the 5 items I ordered never arrived. I know I marked them on the sheet. Not impressed for the money I spent. Plenty of other options in the area.

Never be back again, the raw fish always awful and not fresh. I worked there for two months, and this is the really bad sushi place. Some of raw food stay for few months, and some of raw food stay for at least a week if they r not busy. The boss force me and my coworker to write some good reviews here before. I tried to deleted it but it seems I only can edit it. Anyways, if u get any food there, good luck, and I just want to tell u guys the truth.

Sunday night dinner for 4. Came here for a casual AYCE sushi experience after eating here twice before… and I won’t be back. This place has fallen into the travesty of having too much rice per piece. The hot tea is $ 1.50/ea, but it was more like hot water with green food coloring. We opted to kindly place them at the end of the table, but no one ever took them away. The sushi came out relatively quickly, but the place also wasn’t really busy at all. Our server never once came back to refill our water. With so many AYCE options in the area now, there is nothing that made me want to come back here again.

Their prices are quite reasonable. Their all you can eat sushi deal is outstanding. The first time I got it I was amaze that you can order ANY type of sushi, and the portions are huge. Their specialty sushi rolls are so good, and I love their hot & sour soup. All in all I really like this place. The staff is very nice, although they could be a little more attentive. I recommend it pretty highly.

We were in search of an all you can eat sushi and our search brought us here. Service was very nice and quick. Then again, we were one of the only two tables there when we arrived at that time(5pm). Their all you can eat sushi was all you could eat, no sushi restrictions. Except of course that you have to finish it all. The selection was great and so was the quality. Appetizers, soups, and salads were also included. Environment was also pleasant, lights were dim but it wasn’t too dark, there’s two flat screens behind the counter, one had sports on and news on the other, decorations weren’t overwhelming and they also had a nice fireplace that added a great touch. When we finished more people were starting to show up. We had a great experience and look forward to to return(hopefully soon).

My friend and I decided to come here since Sushi Station was jam packed. It was around 8:45−9PM.(Note: there closing time is 10PM on Friday.) We got seated right away, as there were not many people there and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. We ordered an appetizer of gyoza and 3 different types of sushi rolls, which we’re all great. The Mai Tai’s we’re delicious as well but pricey compared to Sushi Station. The service was a little strange, as our waiter didn’t understand my question about how the iced tea came. Also, as we were paying our check, a waiter who was bussing are table throughout the night came up to me as I was counting the money for the bill. As he walked away he was counting the cash, which I thought was rude and had to make sure our waiter received his tip. It was close to closing time and probably wanted us out of there as soon as possible.

First the good: All you can eat sushi was pretty good, can’t complain about the food The Bad: Service is horrible, as soon as we sat down, i felt like we were rushed to eat and leave. We had two waiters waiting on us and it seemed as if both were trained to get customers in and out as soon as possible and it showed. after the 2nd round of sushi, the waiter promptly took our menu’s away and asked if we were ready for the check. I would not go here again.

We really like the décor of the restaurant. We decided to try the all you can eat dinner sushi option since there was plenty of specialty rolls to choose from plus a really nice list of appetizers as well. We started with miso soup and fried squid(both were delicious). We ordered bunch of nigiris(tuna, salmon, and squid), a spider roll, spicy tuna roll, rose roll, and I think a Godzilla roll. Our orders came quickly and the food was delicious . Overall we really enjoy the speed of the service, the taste of the food, and how our rolls/nigiris doesn’t fall apart. We’ll definitely come back again.

This was our second visit to Asian Tokyo. They have Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes. Their sushi is outstanding. They offer a very reasonable all you can eat Sushi special that gives you the option of every item on their Sushi menu — no exceptions. On this visit, that is what I decided to get — well, that and green tea. I was a little disappointed in the tea, but the Sushi was plentiful and quite good. I was so impressed with it when it was delivered to our table that I forgot to take any pictures. Let’s just say the Sushi Chefs are very artistic. I don’t recall all of the types I had — they have various levels of Sushi and Sashimi. I know I had tuna, salmon and shrimp Sashimi. As for the Maki Rolls, I know that I had yellow fin tuna, spider roll and spicy tuna. But, they have a variety of combination rolls, some I’ve seen before and others I have not. I would caution you that some of their more exotic ones are fried. I don’t do well with fried foods and they can be very filling. All together, I think the service was good, the food was great, the Sushi Chefs were not only good, but they were also fast. Fast is something I’m not used to when ordering Sushi.

I was browsing for sushi and I had a flashback: When I ordered the maki roll, the chef was ANTAGONISTIC. «Maki means roll. What do you want?» I think my jaw dropped. Then, I pointed to the menu entry. What a jerk.

Came here as Chef Ping had a long wait. Place was half occupied early Saturday evening. I decided to do the AYCE sushi. I had an assortment of maki rolls and a few sashimi pieces. As others noted, there is a limit of 18 pieces per order. I found that annoying, as they already apply the charges if you don’t finish all your food, which is common in other AYCE sushi places. Our group of 5 ordered various dishes, some AYCE, some not. All of our dishes came at very different times. My first round of sushi came at an appropriate time. However, subsequent rounds took much longer, in which I’m sure is intentional, so that you’ll get full and don’t consume as much. We had a couple different servers waiting on us who were inconsistent and confusing. There were a number of times where we were glaring at any of the staff passing by, hoping they would stop by to see what we needed, but we had to flag em’ down ourselves. To the sushi… at first they looked fine. There could have been slightly less rice but actually wasn’t too much. What was disappointing was that most of the rolls had an imitation crab filler, whether it was stated or not in the menu, which I have never experienced, even in an AYCE establishment where quality isn’t expected to be superb. However, this was beyond subpar. However, all tasted fine except for one. Can’t remember which particular piece I had, but I remember it tasting fishy and off. Sure enough, I felt sick soon after, went to the bathroom, and puked everything. Bf had ordered a side of fried rice but was given plain white rice instead. We didn’t bother correcting them as we didn’t want to be there any longer. Rest of the table seemed to enjoy their dishes and portions seem to be good, concerning the«Chinese» dishes. However, I would stay away as quality and service is very subpar, especially for their sushi.

If you want some really good sushi at fair prices then Asian Tokyo is the place to be. If you like deep fried sushi then you should try my favorite the Las Vegas role.

I have been here a ton .The food is usually pretty good. The service is strange. They sometimes forget things. It is kind of all over the place. The last time I went I did all you can eat and they forgot one roll so the waiter told me to put in a new order. It was fine but that happens often. Everything was very good though so I will continue to go. $ 22 for all you can eat for dinner is pretty good I think.
