Tokio Table - Japanese Steakhouse

It's absolutely amazing atmosphere & vibe. You can feel the heat as the chiefs prepare the food. Regardless of which table it happening. The chiefs are humorous and plays well off the group. Watching the food be prepared to your taste is a perk for sure. My family was here for my niece's birthday, turning it into a memorable experience.

Everyone was so nice and accommodating! The drinks were incredible, I tried the Old Tokio and Old Blood, both were beautifully crafted and well balanced. The bartender, our waiter and our chef were all super sweet and fun, truly adored them all. The food was fantastic!!! Fried rice, steak and scallops were perfectly done, and of course our chef put on a great show! We celebrated my friends birthday here, I definitely recommend. The space is smaller than a lot of hibachi places I've been too which I appreciated, it felt low key, cozy and homey, but still very fun and delicious. Definitely a go to. Parking lot is very small, but there is plenty of street parking, and a paid lot close by. Very cute neighborhood as well, and some other fun places to stop by before or after dinner. Highly recommend!

Mediocre food that tastes like too much oil. Chefs always think they're being clever but it's so over the top cheesy. Menu doesn't list all ingredients in the dishes so be very careful if you have dietary restrictions. Went there right when it opened for the day and the bathroom already reeked of urine and had an overflowing garbage can (that you had to touch to open). Definitely not worth the $30+ per entree.

Genuinely a fantastic time. The staff are great and fun, genuinely kind people. The food is amazing too! Thank you so much for a wonderful time. (: It was a great family experience.

We had bond as our chef and he was amazing, good with our kid and made our 13 year anniversary special and memorable. We were recommended by our colleague and she is totally going to get a fist bump for the awesome recommendation. Food was perfect and I am super picky, perfection achieved. Wife’s love potion was absolutely amazing. I got scallops which are seriously some of the best I had anywhere in the world.

Food was great. Service was great. Chef was great. Had an excellent meal and entertainment with the teppanyaki at Tokio Table. Husband made reservations for 5pm Saturday, for the hibachi experience. Meals come with soup, salad, and rice. The waitress, after hearing hubby has a wheat specific allergy, went above and beyond. She gave him soup without the fried onions, then salad dressing on the side, it was incredibly sweet and appreciated. Our chef/entertainment was absolutely wonderful. We had the pleasure of sitting with another family with small children and to see their faces just light up was great. They do have children hibachi plates. He even posed for a photo. Thank you for making my 13 year old nephews first teppanyaki experience great.

This is a steakhouse first, but they offer sushi as well so we thought why not. Also, get there early or make a reservation because space is premium. Be patient when it gets busy and the overall experience will be something to remember. Service ✅Food✅Atmosphere ✅Mahalo Tokio Table-Japanese Steakhouse! 🤙🏽

Honestly this was the worst Hibachi style restaurant I have ever been to. We had a reservation, so we came a couple minutes early. We were sat promptly and drink orders taken. When it was time to order appetizers and sushi one of our group members ordered sushi as their meal. Rather than bring their sushi with our meal, they brought it twenty minutes before cooking had even started. The way they refilled water was terrible. They would bring over a small pitcher, sometimes nearly empty, fill the glasses they could and leave. Regardless of how many other glasses were empty. It would then be another seven minutes before the rest of the glasses would be filled. Our chef, Maynor, was the only good thing about the restaurant. His showmanship with true food was incredible. Although he was great, it took a full hour for him to even appear at our table. When he started to read of what was ordered we quickly saw that it was not written down right for him. When we talked to the waitress about the bill, the forcefully added gratuity, and the wait times, she did nothing but argue with us about he times.

Amazing. Pricy Worth it Tables seat 7 and they'll mix and match but it's super friendly. We went, 6 of us The portions were excellent, the food was great, and the service was super. Notable the chef we had was on point but the other table complained about their person for lack of entertainment, he just didn't offer the same energy. So your experience can vary based on the person you get as chef. We did a reservation but didn't seem like that was a must. Had some folk from out of town. Some newly 21 and an over 50 birthday. The experience was worth the money and everyone walked away with stories and smiles. Thank you Tokio Table.

This is one of those spots you drive all the time, but with the dark exterior and tinted windows you can't see inside, so we never gave it a try... Until we finally did! After the suggestion of friends, we stopped by. It is suggested to make a reservation because they can book up quickly. Love the presentation and the food was amazing. I would not suggest the Tokyo tea. Not much alcohol, but a lot of sweetness.

This is the best hibachi in the pdx metro area, the service and staff are amazing! The bar selection is pretty good too!

Great service and food was top notch! My steak was cooked perfectly and our chef was very entertaining. Definitely a fun time!

Great Vibez! Great Drinks! And amazing food! I will definitely be back to have my birthday here again!

We went with our family for an anniversary dinner. 5 adults, 3 children. Our "Chef" was quite entertaining and the grandkids. Had fun watching him. We were there a couple of years ago and pretty much the same except for the prices. Quite a bit higher but it's not like we go weekly or monthly. Food was prepared correctly and everybody enjoyed their dinner. No desert were offered and maybe to do not have.

Dinner tasted great, and the chef was wonderful. this was my bfs first time experiencing this and he had an amazing time

I made the reservation through Google for a party of 6. Food was okay, just amazing as expected. Some were plain and some were too salty. The rice was a bit dry and cold. My favorite was their sushi, much more delicious and fresh. The whiskey drink did not disappoint, super good. The chef was friendly but he did it so quick so not much interaction.

Best Japanese steakhouse I've EVER been to! Better than Benihana by a long shot. Our cook Pon was hilarious and engaged with us the entire time. His tricks and way he cooked our food was incredible he had such a special touch. He even cooked the fat of some of our parties' NY steaks separate with garlic butter and made it extra crisp... so fire! Not one complaint, we were in town from Seattle for the weekend and plan on coming back during our next visit. Hopefully we get Pon as our cook again!

Great place for family, friends, or great date location with both Bars (Alcohol and Sushi). You can reserve seating for groups or to avoid the wait on walk ins. Menu very simple and price are deceiving in a good way. Every order is served with House Salad, Miso Soup, [(don't underestimate that Soup or Salad)(they are so good you will want to ask what they put in it)( it's more then toes)]mixed vegetables, and shrimp. The best for last soup and salad almost had me, until YOUR chef brings your prepared order to the table (tables sit 8) were they begin to entertain you while cooking your meal in your face, sanitation and freshness guaranteed... Great vibes & memories hibachi style... FIRE!!! ( You'll understand)

Food was not it, especially not for what you're paying for. Calamari was the strangest version of calamari I've ever had in my life. I wouldn't even eat it for free. The miso soup is watery. Better luck trying it at home service was decent.

Showed up at 8:40 for my reservation Famished craving teppanyaki . 1 hour later I haven't had any thing to eat . No sign of a "chef" in sight . Ordered an appetizer also . One hour later that hasn't came yet . Just sitting here watching other people eat wonder when they will start cooking my food . It's not even busy in here

The food, service, and environment are always amazing! The steaks & sushi are amazing, but you can't beat the chicken fried rice! So much better than the better known chain!

I so love me some Teppanyaki unfortunately I can't say that about this place my lobster was pretty fishy tasting the shrimp is pre-cooked before they cook and no spatulas flying no volcano fire pretty eventless and It did not taste very good. My steak was over cooked and pretty flavorless. my meal with water was over $75 that's one meal do you know if it was great or amazing that's fine, but this is not the case. I am looking online and it shows my mail was $54. They charge me $64 and $11.52 gratuity

We were happy to see no wait on a Thursday night at 6pm. $39 gets you a salad, soup, shrimp, excellent cut of filet mignon, vegetables (onions, mushrooms & zucchini), and chicken fried rice. We always get the edamame too. Probably our 4th visit and every time, we walk out full and happy. Service was top notch. For a steak, don't count Tokio Table out!!!

We've been here a few times over the years,and it's good each time! The service is great,and they communicate nicely with the crowd! I like that they engaged with the kids as well,instead of only the adults. He even did the fire more than needed and gave him extra shrimp!

Was looking for a good hibachi spot to take my dad in Vancouver, but the ones here didn't have grew reviews. So we crossed the water and headed into Portland. We went on a wednesday and although we made reservations, the restaurant wasn't crowded. Parking Lot is available so no worries about looking for parking. The spot was nice, with good music. My dad enjoyed the warm saki and I just had a regular drink of Jose Cuervo. The calamari appetizer was great. Perfectly cooked. I had steak and scallops and this was the first time at a hibachi spot that cooked my steak to a proper medium. Usually hibachi sauces are too strong for me but both their ginger and mustard sauces were excellent. They were out of the yum yum (white) sauce. While the rice could had a little more flavor, it was good! Would dine here again in the future.

I really like this place, I think their food tastes good and the servers are very friendly. I would recommend getting the filet mignon over the normal steak though, it's much more tender and flavorful. I would also recommend their vegetable tempura.

Great teppanyaki, spartan environment, convenient location and reasonable service (some are better than others). I really enjoyed my rib eye and my friends loved their scallops, chicken, steak and shrimp. The portions were generous and made fabulous leftovers. I'll be back!

It is the best. I wish they had a day time menu. I would try to go daily. Food, owner and wait staff are super!! My highest recommendation!! Good ambiance

We came for the sushi but we stayed for the lecture. If by chance you are with children and you only order one hibachi entree, you might be treated to a lecture (or five) about ordering more entrees in the future. The food was delicious. Everyone is really friendly. They cooked to go orders on the grill in front of us, before cooking our one entree, maybe for entertainment? Maybe as an addition to the lecture? We loved it! Very entertaining and the sushi, of which we ordered lots, was pretty delicious. They made a fire on the grill for us. Three times! "It was amazing," say the kids. They're picky eaters and they ate the food. It really was amazing.

I had way to much fun here! Okay let's start with our waitress! She was the wonderful. She was patient. As it was my first time. I couldn't decide what I wanted for lunch! So I took awhile looking at the menu and I also asked a few questions. She was happy to assist me. I ended up getting the bigger cut of Filet Mignon! She called it something else but I don't remember lol. It was my birthday lunch so I was celebrating! So after ordering my food. We decided on a drinks! It was Tequila Time! So the bar was pretty far away so I asked her can you tell me what you have? She listed most of the Tequila but I noticed a bottle from a far that I don't recognize! Hehe I know my alcohol. So I asked her did you name that bottle that next to the Suaza Silver. She's oh that .... and they I said lol" Did you name that one when I just asked you! She's like no lol most people don't know about it! I'm girl I know my bottles and I haven't seen it before! Let's get a few of those shots! Chilled please. So she chuckles and says right away! She comes back with shots in hand! Okay so not normal ones they were huge! I am not complaining at all! I did another happy dance for sure. So then the Chef comes out! Fancy Fancy! He was good! Flipping everything everywhere and catching it. It was a very nice show. He also threw a few jokes in their as we were for sure not the normal lunch Saturday crowd! As we watch the show and enjoy our Tequila! I am honestly having a great time. We had the waitress, the chef and the other guests rolling! This was a fantastic time! I appreciate you Tokio Table. I'll be back soon. Besides all the fun and laughs we had! My food was fantastic! Steak was cooked perfectly to medium and the shrimp oh man! Very nice! Another successful story! I love sharing! It's caring!

Japanese steakhouses are a guilty pleasure for both my wife and myself; actually, Japanese restaurants in general would be more accurate. Tokio Table is only a handful of blocks from our old apartment, so we frequented it on several occasions. If you are familiar with the "Benihana experiece", or have patronized any other similar establishment, you know what to expect: the oil and onion "volcano" of fire, tossing an egg into the chef's hat, an amalgam of meats, seafood, vegetables and fungus happily grilling and sizzling away over a vast iron hibachi, encircled by a ten-person horseshoe of impatient, drooling carnivores. Tokio Table checks all the boxes. Pro tip: Order the wagyu beef, if it is available. Reality check: It won't be. Sorry. Sake, both hot and cold, is available in several iterations. Some of the sake-sporting cocktails are a knockout, the heavy hitters being the Sake Mojito and Tokio Mule; the Mountain Yuzu sake is light and fruity, like most yuzu drinks, if you're not into the stiffer selections. My only complaint against Tokio House is the aesthetics of the building itself: both interior and exterior feel a bit Spartan. The dining area is less Kanagawa and more Kafeteria (intentional sic), while the chocolate-hued exterior facade proudly wears its 1970s-era design like a pair of well-worn bell-bottomed jeans. A little bamboo and shoji would do wonders to knock a few centuries off its oddly post-modern appearance, and place it squarely back into the Bakumatsu era, where it belongs.

A bit pricey (bill ended up around ~$140 for a party of four), but then better than a chain restaurant like Benihana.

Good food and service. Unfortunately sushi was not available on the day we went but the teppanyaki was really good!

Really nice place. The prices are a little high, but it is worth it. Food is cooked right in front of you on the grill.

We have frequented Tokio Table over the years for special occasions and last night for our son's birthday. We had a Chef who was admittedly a non-skilled Hibachi Chef. He was messy, hard to understand, didn't use seasoning and was very hurried. Our food was rushed, poorly executed and although we ate because we were hungry, we were not satisfied at all. He used way too much oil pooring directly on the food, not allowing it to cook out leaving an oily after taste. The Lobster was over cooked, scallops burnt and steak not cooked to order. Vegtables were not fully cooked and very low service asking how we are doing. We explained to the manager, expecting a positive response. She came back taking $57 off a $200 plus bill but forced us to pay a $48 gratuity, so basically they did nothing but insult us. We will never return or recommend anymore. We have great memories at this place but this one is a deal breaker, we will no longer return again.

Had a great experience here and the food was good. Very similar to Benihana, but more of a neighborhood feel. The quality of food was good and the staff was friendly and very welcoming. Appetizers good, drinks good, and cook time was on point. Will be back to try more other then the Chicken Habachi. A definite must visit in a great residential neighborhood.

This place is a better alternative than Benihana if you're looking for a place where they cook at your table, especially if you don't want to smell like it (we still had to hang our coats in the garage overnight to get rid of smell). The lingering smell would have been worse at Benihana. The food was decent as I had a combination of steak and calamari. The service was also good and the chef was very engaging but I would not recommend ordering cocktails as their prices based on size of the drink are a complete rip off. Better to order beer instead. And besides who goes to a hibachi style restaurant to drink cocktails and peruse their fine wine list. That's an oxymoron.

We were in for an early dinner and as a result we got a lot of personal attention. The chef did a great job and the food was epic

It was not as lively as Benihana but the food was good. It was quiet and boring and no sushi available, mot sure why? Didn't get an answer.

We've been here many times before, their food and service was good. This time we had reservation for a party of 8, it started good. Food was good, we were having a good time. We just just finished our dinner and ordered dessert and the manager came over at 1hour and 20mins to kick us out saying they needed the table. Our waiter came over to apologize. We had to wait by the door to get our desserts. It was a big disappointment and to say, we are never coming back to this restaurant.

A friend and I went to Tokio Table for dinner last night. We had a 7:15 seating, but a chef didn't come to our grill until well after 8:00. I can understand that they are having staffing issues, but this seemed extreme. There was a total of six people at the grill - a party of four and my friend and I. The gentleman who ordered the hibachi vegetables got his food first, then the people who ordered chicken fried rice ($4 upcharge per person per the menu). I had to ask to get my steamed rice even though the other three people received theirs without asking. The spicy hibachi chicken that I ordered was very tasty, but it was probably close to 9:00 until I got it. The last thing received was the shrimp appetizer - things definitely were served out of a logical order. There is nothing special about the atmosphere and it was extremely loud. We had to ask four times to get the soup and salad for the takeout order that we placed. The three meals, shrimp tempura appetizer and two non-alcoholic beverages came to $97 (includes $8 upcharge for two chicken fried rice). We choose this restaurants because of the reviews and the distance to travel from my friend's house in the Piedmont/Overview district to Benihana's at Washington Square. In the future, we will deal with the drive.

Visited this place several days ago, food quality was not that good, especially the Hibachi, what a waste of money. Service was even worse. I can't recommend this one, sorry.

The food is what you expect. It's fine and the "show" is fun of course. But this place is DIRTY. Fingerprints all over the windows and doors and bathroom mirror. Drips and smears on the walls. Bathroom walls and sink and floor are nasty! For $40 a head I expect better. Also there was no sushi being served tonight.

Meh, not sure I would go back. The hibachi dinner wasn't that great, would probably go elsewhere for fire coming back here.

So so. Hibachi chef and staff were friendly and fun. Food is okay but expensive for what it is and nothing special (minus a star). I'm taking another star off for cleanliness as there was a swarm of flies near the bar area, and there were grease drops collecting on the vent at our table looking like they were going to drop down on us. We were the first table that night, so it means it wasn't wiped off from the previous night(s).

First off the customer service is terrible. They forgot my order and they have water down soap in the bathroom. They over cooked my lobster !!! Oh not to mention they forgot about my reservation and seated us 15 mins later. Overall the food is good but the service sucks !!

We called to book a table for 3 in the afternoon, but arrived about 15 minutes early (luckily no traffic at all and the parking lot is spacious). The chef cooked everything to perfect (sweet onions, juicy cucumber, flavorful chicken fried rice, tender scallops and shrimps, and the best filet mignon with mushrooms.) *the lobster tails were good too but you knew they were from frozen.

Excellent service and great food. We count this as one of our favorites! Great experience also. The cooks are entertaining.

I went there with a big group on a weekday for dinner, we waited for a long time for food. I ordered the tuna poke as appetizer and Hibachi Steak with fried rice for entree. The poke salad was delicious but I was disappointed with the Hibachi steak. The meat was dry and flavorless, I felt like I could make better steak myself at home. Pros: The chief and server were both friendly. This place is expensive and not worth the price, I won't be coming back.

BEWARE!!! Friends and I decided to give Tokio Table a try last night instead of driving to Benihana's. I made a reservation for 7:30pm just in case they were busy. Upon arrival it took several minutes for wait staff to acknowledge us. Once they did we were told they were waiting for other parties to finish up before seating us. That wait was in excess of 30 minutes. They also proceeded to seat another group who arrived after us before us. Once seated it took another 10 minutes for someone to come take our drink order and even longer for them to take our food order and start cooking. There was a problem with their soda machine but that they were clearly unaware of. It took the three attempts for them to finally acknowledge they were out of CO2. They brought the wrong appetizers and were confused about who ordered what. The food was unseasoned and mediocre. While plating the food the cook spilled greasy food on my clothes and the table surface in front of my plate. The cook then scooped the food off the table and dumped it on my plate. When the bill arrived we noticed they had already taken the liberty to charge a 18% tip. When questioned about the automatic charge the waiter simply responded with people have not been tipping lately and walked away. We were a group of three. Nothing about the service we received yesterday warranted an 18% tip. If anything they should be paying me for the drying cleaning expense for the greasy stain on my blouse! I definitely will not be returning nor would I recommend it to anyone. If you want Teppanyaki or Japanese Steakhouse just make the drive to Benihana's. It tastes better and the service you receive is better!!!!

Way better than Benihana's. Food exceeded expectations. Our hibachi chef was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will be returning. * I visited during a weekday and unfortunately they don't serve sushi on the weekdays as they don't have sushi chef during the week. That was the only bummer!

Great presentation and we enjoyed the food. It's a walk down the block for us so we will return. Ronn just Ronn The Whole in the wall food guy

I'm just gonna say it because we all know... this place is essentially a bootleg Benihana. But the good news for us Eastsiders is that it's a great alternative to driving all the way over to Washington Square. While the menu (even the sauces) is almost identical to Benihana, there are a couple things this place does better: 1. They have proper ventilation, so you don't smell like meat and garlic butter for three days like you do at the other place. 2. The soup is better. 3. The drinks are actually good, not like the sugar bombs Benihana tries to pass off as a cocktail. Overall, I'm glad to have this in the neighborhood for when I get a teppanyaki craving.

Tokio Table is a fun experience. It is best left to special occasion, as the ambiance and show is a big part of the appeal! The quality of the food is generally better than most teppanyaki establishments, but the "show" isn't up to the same level as most others I've been to. Be aware that the parking lot is very small (too small for the number of tables it has), so you'll likely have to find street parking if you visit at a popular time.

Last night we ventured out in search of dinner. With 2 kids, and being in a city we don't know very well, our go to is always to look for recommendations on Yelp. This place did not disappoint! We are not new to Hibachi restaurants. In fact, we have one at home that we use as our benchmark for all others. From start to finish, this place exceeded our expectations. We called ahead and made reservations for 7 pm. We were promptly greeted when we arrived and shown to the sitting area to wait. When it was our turn, we were seated and immediately brought water. They even put lids on the cups for the boys - something we often have to ask for. The soup was good, so was the salad, but the drinks were amazing! We had the Old Blood (play on an Old Fashion). Wow. We were very surprised. Our chef was top notch. He had tricks up his sleeves that we had never seen before! The highlight for the kids was watching him flip rice from one bowl to another! And the Chicken Fried Rice - so worth the extra $3! We would recommend anyone go here if you are looking for good food and a good atmosphere!

Great spot for yummy food. Primarily a meat oriented spot but they also have fish and veggies. Staff is lovely and environment is great!

Every time I tried to go in they push my reservation back .... Or try to get me to sit with other other people after I have told them 3 nights in a row I wanted to sit with inky my party .
