Tokyo Sushi & Grill

The sushi was good in the past, but the service at this place has steadily declined since my first time here in 2014. Now in 2016, I came in on my lunch break and never even had my order taken after 15 minutes. Mind you, there were only 4 tables total and the other 3 had their food. I won’t be back… Of course I said that last time, hoping that they had gotten their shit together after a year.
They didn’t even bring us the waters we ordered!

I’ve never had a problem with the food itself. I leave satisfied every time. The price (especially for the environment) is high. It’s definitely outdated but it’s not gross or anything. The staff doesn’t speak English as well as I feel like they probably should, but I’ve never had an order come back wrong. 4.3 for the food, 2.5 for the atmosphere.

This place is far from being a nice sushi place. I’m a sushi lover and i should have known by the empty seats on a Saturday night that this place was crappy.
1. My waitress was clueless and I had to explain what I wanted way to many times.
2. The sushi seemed like a second grader made it.
3. They put way to much sauce crap over the sushi… i could barely taste the fish!
4. I thinks it’s pretty ghetto to bring me a drink in a can, that Im pretty sure was from a 24 pack they bought from Meijer.
5. This will be my first and last time coming here for sure.
I hope this helps the next Sushi lover not make the mistake that I and so many other people have made by coming here.

The worst sushi experience I have had in a long time. If you like old, mushy and fishy smelling sushi, you have found your dive. For everyone else, try Noble Fish in Clawson.

Should have known better when we walked in at lunchtime. The place was empty and I was overwhelmed by a pungent smell.
Reluctantly sat down with my colleagues. Had some Thai soup, which was decent. However, I could not say the same for the sushi. Tuna was stringy and salmon was too «fishy». Rice could have been better prepared. We didn’t eat half the sushi we ordered. Should have sent it back and got a refund.
Overall, bad food, bad smell and overpriced. Service wasn’t the best, but it was probably the best thing this place has going for it.

Big menu with a lot of different options, Japanese, Thai, Chinese. Good not great service and food. Lunch menu isn’t as competitive with other sushi places but overall some good options. Not the best sushi place around but Certainly better than Little Tree. Tampura lacks any salt or seasoning. Sushi is good. They were able to make the sashimi tempura for my wife who is pregnant, although they charged extra without mentioning it even though they suggested the tempura option. Overall worth a try and would return.

The food was great and the service was good. Unfortunately they do not serve alcohol.

A frankly run down and cheap looking place two doors down from Gusoline Alley across from a parking garage.
We had two different kinds of rolls and Pad Thai. They were good.
The service was very slow, the waitresses’ English skills were very poor, and the food came out at random times. They forgot an app.
There are better places to spend your money on Asian food in Royal Oak.

If I could give less than one star, I would. Walked in to the restaurant and it smelled like rotting fish. Immediately turned around and left.

The service is great, staff is very friendly and nice.
I wish I could say that the food was on par with the service though. This sushi is no better than your local grocery store attempt at sushi. The seaweed tastes stale. The ginger tastes rancid. Edamame was sorely over cooked and over salted. Overall disappointed.
Also, water served in paper cups? How cheap is this owner? You have an established restaurant, not a food truck… how about reducing waste and buy or hire a dishwasher.

I’m not a crazy sushi connoisseur, but this place is pretty good, and it’s a nice little spot in RO.

Can’t believe I ate there. It was 1:45 pm, I was on my way home and so hungry especially for sushi, I took a chance because I used to eat at the Birmingham location until they closed. Sashimi is average to poor — salmon was stringy, tuna was spongy, wasabi not flavorful. Furnishings of restaurant dark and dank. No music, no one there but me — should have been my clue! The waitress and chef argued in their native language. A customer even came in to complain that what he picked was not what he ordered. All in a very uncomfortable and pricey experience. $ 25 (bf tip) for 6 small sashimi, a California roll, cucumber salad and green tea. Next time I’ll drive to my favorite sushi place — Kyoto’s in Clawson.

I’ve been coming here for a year and a half, only a few times I can honesty say it wasn’t good. I usually get the gang ped with fried tofu and its delicious! I just ate there today around 4pm and it was probably the best experience I’ve had!
Definitely would recommend this place to anyone and try the gang ped if you’ve never had it! Yum!

Their Teriyaki Beef is tough and chewy ;
Godzilla tuna roll is mediocre. Service is hurried

So, I’ve been here twice. Once, a week ago, and once, about 6 years ago. So if this place has been around for that long, you kind of know it has something going for it. Here’s my two cents.
–Big menu, lots of rolls. This means that it takes a while for first-​timers to order, so be warned.
–We came in about 1 hour to close, so the chef kind of rushed the waitress to take our order. Understandable, but he did it in kind of a rude manner, with a scowl on his face. Normally, I wouldn’t care, but I don’t like rude people, especially rude bosses. Plus our waitress was cute, so shame on him.
–My yellowtail roll had a bone in it. Amateur chef.
–Other rolls were good, and very filling. However, the «wow» factor wasn’t really there.
Honestly, the bone was a deal-​breaker for me. I know that it happens every now and then, but for you to be around for so long and still make such a mistake? I’m not sure I’ll be back. Also, they do not serve salad and miso with your meal, but some restaurants don’t. Just FYI.

2-​stars: «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» Tokyo Sushi & Grill in Royal Oak definitely brings some diverse taste to the area. However, they attempt to do too much: first off, there are far to many items on the menu, which would suggest the cook (s) are generally jack-​of-​all trades, but master of none…
The location served both Japanese sushi, as well as Thai food. Great variety of choices, however not the best tasting of each. Not that I’m a big sushi snob, but I’m pretty sure that sushi chef’s would not store different cuts of fish ON TOP of each other — this was the case at Tokyo Sushi & Grill.
The interior and décor looked old and run-​down — I would easily visit a run-​down location for great good, a.k.a. the «hole in the wall» places that have some of the best food… .but this was definitely not the the case here.
There is supposedly a much better Japanese restaurant up the street (I believe more pricey as well), however their was an hour and forty minute wait, thus we ended up stumbling into this 2-​star location…
Best avoid unless you’re absolutely starving and have nothing else suitable in the local area (which btw, has plenty of all sorts of foods).

Best sushi
better then the harbor in Baltimore maryland!
the shrimp tempura is the best iv ever had!
not only is the sushi GREAT the chicken pai thai is GReat too!
by far my favorite place to grab diner on a friday night!

I want to give this place 2.5 stars. It really teeters between A-​OK and Meh. The sushi is actually pretty good. But the size of the restaurant compared to the staffing and sushi bar is a disconnect. There was one waitress and one sushi chef for the entire place. I felt bad for the waitress as she was hustling around not only taking care of every table but also handling every carry-​out order that walked in (and there were 5 while we were there). It took forever to get our food because of only one chef, but once it was there — it was really good.
The ambiance is very bland and there’s no music or TV so it gets oddly quiet as people don’t want to talk too loudly. Then the door has a chime that plays the Westminster Chimes every time someone walks through the door. It’s honestly the only thing you hear while eating and enough to drive one batty.
undecided if I will be back.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. When we arrived at 7:45, I must say I was a little worried that we were the only people in the restaurant.
I was with 2 other friends and we ordered 6 rolls, and was happy to know that we got a 7^th roll free! We decided to try the «Air Conditioning Roll» for our free roll because, WTH is an Air Conditioning roll? It was pretty simple actually, but tasty. It had cucumber, avocado and I believe scallions in it.
We also ordered the following which were excellent: Spider roll, Veggie Tempura roll, Las Vegas Roll, chicken teryiaki roll, and the spicy tuna roll. The only roll we did not love was the yellow tail. The salad with ginger dressing was only OK as well, but the edamame was good — nothing out of the ordinary.
Down side: no liquor license! Was looking forward to a drink with my dinner, but we just went next door afterwards instead.
Our bill came to just under $ 50. Very happy with the prices, service and selection. We will be back.

Decided to do carryout during the week on a slow night. I tried Tokyo Sushi because they ran a livingsocial deal and sold sushi made with cooked chicken. My order consisted of Chicken Teriyaki Rolls, an Asparagus Roll, Tom Yum Soup, and Spring Rolls. It’s kind of weird that they do both Japanese food and Thai food. I’m accustomed to a specialty restaurant having one genre of food. Needless to say, I was disappointed in the sushi rolls.
Sushi: The Chicken Teriyaki Rolls were «eh» with the dry chicken that was portioned out. There was more cucumber or avocado (don’t remember which) in the roll than chicken. The sticky rice was really sticky, but the roll nowhere near that of Sakana’s Chicken Tempura Rolls. The asparagus rolls were large, but that was because of all the extra rice that was stuffed inside. That was a turn off– the seaweed wraps couldn’t even be closed.
Thai food: The tom yum soup and spring rolls were great. I was pleasantly surprised at the fresh veggies in the soup. The spring rolls were fried to perfection.
Atmosphere: It was DEAD and 30 minutes to closing. The woman at the counter was rushing me to do my order and it was apparent she was ready to go home when she sent me out with items missing from my order. Parking is sparse and metered. If you go on a Thursday or weekend the meters are «Valet» for the bar next door.
I wouldn’t come here again, not the best sushi spot in the area although competitively priced.
