Tokyo Japanese Steak House

A good hibachi dine in place for families, group of friends, and /or meeting new people if u want too. Chicken hibachi dinner is my favorite and both the chef and waiters can make a great conversation time. Enjoy!

Very busy place but the food and staff are great! Price is good too since I had the salmon and steak combo for $35 bucks. Parking area isn't large so be prepared to park next door and walk over.

I called ahead to check on pricing and what items came with a particular to-go meal. The team answered the phone quickly and gave confident answers, but let me know that their system would not allow me to order for a specific time. I called back about 15 minutes before I wanted to pick up my food and, once again, the phone was answered quickly and confidently. I arrived and immediately know that I was going to give this place a good review. The restaurant smelled delicious, yes, but the staff were all incredibly responsive and friendly. The host quickly went to get my food and was ready to make adjustments on how I needed to pay. Over the phone, I forgot to ask for ginger. As the host ran to the back to get my sauce, someone saw me waiting and within seconds asked if I was being helped. He wasn't the last one. When I got back to work to eat my lunch, I noticed how much food came with a $15 lunch special. If I were a more responsible person, I could easily have split it all into 2-3 meals. The only reason I took a star off was the soup, salad dressing, and white sauce all tasted slightly differently than other hibachi restaurants. It wasn't bad, just different. The fried pork, fried rice, egg roll, and sushi were all delicious, as were the ginger, white sauce (different but still tasty!), and the tonkatsu sauce. This team went above and beyond to make my little to-go order feel welcomed and wanted. I don't eat out a ton, as my wife and I are trying to save money, so I want my dollars to count. I truly feel like the excellence in service, amount and quality of the food all make this a place I will definitely be visiting again.

Gosh, this place used to be my favorite. I loved coming here and bringing my family. Unfortunately, I’m truly grossed out after finding hair in my food. It completely ruined the experience for me, and I’m so disappointed because this used to be a spot I trusted.

We were seated right away. The chef was cooking for seven people. The rice portions are HUGE. My noodle portion was much smaller than the rice and it cost a good bit extra. The food tasted really good!! I loved the scallops and shrimp. The veggies are great and I LOVE the ginger dressing on the salad. Our chef didn’t do many tricks, didn’t toss shrimp in our mouth, wasn’t talkative. I wish he has more personality/ did more of the “fun” things you typically see when eating hibachi. We were seated towards the end of the seven people and I did notice I got less scallops and chicken than the others. I wish at least for the scallops, since you’re paying more, that you got a certain number. It was overall a good experience and the food was super tasty! I will definetly come back. The only other negative is that the chef was messy (see photo) and food was flung everywhere. I really didn’t like eating in such a messy environment.

Took a while for someone to greet us after we were seated. My initial order came out incorrect. The California rolls were bland, I don’t recommend at all. The hibachi chicken seemed extremely salty. The hibachi shrimp however was better. There was a hair in my plate, they addressed the issue and made me a new plate which was good.

I would give it 6 starts if I could. Best Japanese steakhouse we have been to. Portions? I literally needed 2 boxes for my leftovers. Food was amazing! Chef was friendly and did tricks for the kids which they loved. Parking was a pain but just park at the Dunkin across the street.

Cozy atmosphere and delicious food! Top notch all the way!

Always great food with great service!! We normally get steak and shrimp with the fried rice. Delicious!!!

Just called this place and told them about my Order being screwed up and he tried to blame it on delivery person. I informed him delivery picks up order that has already been bagged and stapled and does not even touch the food. Wanted order number, which I gave him and he's like 'yeah ordered spider roll and it does have fish. I informed him I've had it there several times and the only fish that's suppose to be in it is fried soft shell crab, a shellfish. I hate when a place tries to blame others and not just say 'I'm sorry we messed up your order. What can we do to fix it' or something like that. They would have a lot more satisfied customers --- I ordered the Spider roll delivered awith habachi chicken with veggies and rice. I don't know what in the world this is they sent me. Spider roll is a fried soft shell crab roll. This has no crab but lots of fish, which I can't eat. The spider roll is expensive and usually very good. To be blunt this sucks. Doesn't deserve a star. My chicken is under cooked and my veggies over cooked. We usually eat here once a month but I'm sick and hubby isn't here so I had it delivered. Will never order again from this place. My allergy to what ever this fish is sucks on top of being sick. DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM HERE

We always eat inside and order hibachi dinners and always leave happy and with a ton of leftovers. Today we decided we would order hibachi dinner to go but were so disappointed that the portion to go is significantly less than what you get if you eat inside. The price is the same so I don't understand. These dinners are over $25 each so I don't get why you rip your customers off if they're ordering to go. Smh so disappointing. I don't think it's fair to rip your customers off just because they're taking their food to go. We paid $54 for this smh.

We were promptly greeted and taken to a table in the dining area since for this visit we were there for sushi. If you're there for Hibachi they'll seat you accordingly which we'll be trying out on our next visit. We went for a late lunch so the restaurant was pretty quiet. They have a cute outdoor patio area as well. Restaurant was clean and appeared well maintained. Our server was attentive and nice. Our food and drinks came out pretty quickly. Edamame was delicious as well as the miso soup and side salad with ginger dressing. We also had a total of 3 rolls which were good.

Went for NYE and loved it!! Food was amazing, service was great and can't wait to go back! Decor was fun & festive as well.

The employees were nice. Our chef was funny and friendly! He made everyone laugh. The place is attractive and the bathroom was clean. The food was delicious and plentiful. Definitely taking our family back!

This restaurant seemed to be a popular spot. There are always people there. The food is delicious and the hibachi chefs are friendly.

The inside is exactly what you should expect several Teppan grills and a small seating area for regular dining. We showed up early and did not have a wait, it does get very busy around 6 and later. We definitely had highs and lows in our experience. Service by the waiting staff was fantastic. It was a team approach, and all of them were very attentive. Our chef though, just seemed as if he was going through the motions. The fried rice was very good, and the chef gave very large portions to each of us. You will leave full. He seem to need a little extra help with the proteins though. It really didn't matter which one, the proteins all got over cooked, but then rehydrated with oil and sauce. The chicken and steak were ok that way, but shrimp you just can't recover after overcooking. I think our chef just needed some more experience.

Yummy local spot that has been in Smyrna for years. Coming here is like meal prepping for three days, but without moving your own hands. If we ever need a hibachi fix you'll catch us at Tokyo. I love coming here for a casual day or on special occasions. Not only is the food always consistent, but so is the service. My go to order is the filet mignon with fried rice. Expect to have full belly and a full to go plate too!

We had an awesome experience tonight at Tokyo Japanese Steak House! We were seated immediately, the staff were very accommodating and the food was simply outstanding!! The atmosphere inside the restaurant was beautiful, with cherry trees/blossoms throughout. The food prices were very reasonable and, honestly, I would have happily paid more for the delicious dinner we enjoyed! Five stars!!!

Visited June 5, 2023. This establishment is located in Smyrna. The restaurant shares a parking with other bars and restaurants in the same plaza so it can be hard to finding parking during peak hours. People sometimes park in the lots across the street then walk over. I came here with my family for a birthday (party of 7 adults and 2 toddlers). For seating, guests have the option of normal dining, sushi bar top, or hibachi style. We chose hibachi style and were able to fit everyone at the grill. The dipping sauces were great and I liked their ginger salad dressing. They have many menu options to choose from and are accommodating for the vegetarian/vegan crowds. They use soft tofu for the teriyaki tofu which I find pretty tasty. The hibachi chef put on an entertaining show. At the end of the show, the cooks and servers put on a musical number to sing happy birthday to the man of the hour. The individual portions where priced adequately for the amount of food served and its taste. Overall great experience!

Food wss amazing, the pineapple infused Sake tasted like dessert in a cup. The staff was friendly and efficient, plus our chef was incredible!

Dinner tonight did not disappoint!! Tokyo is THE BEST Japanese Steak House in Middle TN!! The employees are kind and courteous, the chefs put on a GREAT show and serve a tasty meal. And the sushi is fresh!! We went this past weekend and 2 people in our party have a shrimp allergy. EVERYONE (chef, servers, Hostesses, etc) were made aware and every precaution taken to keep from having cross contamination of the shrimp and the shrimp was the last item cooked on the grill. It was my birthday, so I got the drum and song from The employees which was fun! We all left with full belies, smiles on our faces and even leftovers! (My favorite!!)

Fun place to eat! All the staff are nice and are always cracking jokes, smiling, and making sure everyone has what they need

This was my first time visiting a restaurant like this, so I don't really have anything to gauge my visit by, but I enjoyed it. The food was good and there was lots of it, but I wouldn't say it was great. The chef was good too, but it wasn't anything I hadn't seen time and again on TV and movies. I enjoyed the experience, but I doubt I'll be back.

I have no idea why this place is rated decently on Yelp and Google. My sister and younger nephews were in town and we decided to try this place. It was the worst hibachi any of us had ever had. Everything tasted so low quality, which might be why everything is overly drenched in sauce including the vegetables and rice. Pretty sure the cook was under the influence of something, which I don't really care about but, that, with the ridiculous amount of stains all over his shirt made me hesitate sitting near him when he did his knife tricks. The shirt stains are understandable with the kind of work he does, but not to THAT degree - it just added to the overall dingy vibe of the place, which was pretty gross and dirty. Just unclean and old-looking. I was there with my sister and 13 year old nephews (who will eat almost anything), and even they just stopped eating at a certain point because they couldn't force it anymore. It is just one of those really low quality places that I wouldn't recommend to anyone, especially for the price.

Great food and service. I've been to Tokyo several times and have never left disappointed.

Enjoyabe experience! It was the end of the day, and I just wanted something different to eat. I went in thinking I was going to just purchase a small plate of food and go home. But the atmosphere was so live. So I decided to eat there. The food was very good and I had a lot left to take home.

We have been going here for years, great chef and would highly recommend the hibachi table.

I dined here with friends last night. Being Saturday, it was busy so our wait was long, but expected. I ordered gyoza and pork yaki soba. My gyoza was great. All the apps came quickly and were good. My friends' hibachi plates arrived but it took a very long time for their rice to arrive to complete their dinners. My yaki soba came at least 30 minutes after my friends' meals! The pork was terribly overcooked - inedible. The noodles were not soba noodles, but looked like angel hair spaghetti. The noodles lacked sauce. Not a great expenditure of $40+(overall). They need to do better in my opinion.

Our first time here and everything was great. I would've maybe liked some veggies in the fried rice (they only added egg), but other than that great prices and good food

Delicious!!!! The drinks, soup, salad, rice, shrimp, scallops, salmon, and veggies... everything was amazing!!! I'll be back for sure!

The food is delicious every time. I'm a return customer and i absolutely recommend this spot for good food and drinks. Sushi is delicious.

Pretty good service we frequent this location a lot. The food is reasonable and it's good

Al around great place food and service! The wait list is sometimes long but the food and service makes up for it

Been going to this place for 3 years never had a problem! Today in a Sunday night got a fried sushi roll that i could not bite it because of how hard it was! Our server of course was super chill about it and took it back made another but it was still not good but i decided not to complain... when leaving this other server came outside (not even our server) came outside and said something, I went back inside to see what he was trying to say, and he just said "have a good night" and i asked if thats the only thing he was trying to say, at this moment this little girl that was a host called me a bitch! And obviously i got pissed. It is ridiculous how we got treated!

Food was excellent! Esp the sushi @ the little sushi bar...they served my drink there & when my table was ready at the hibachi, they moved everything for me!! Hibachi chef was funny, very talented & entertaining for the adults as well as the kiddos! Way too much food...took a lot home!

Good food. Best sushi in town. My family loves their hibachi. Always friendly staff. Good portions and tasty too.

Excellent service and excellent food. This was our first time and definitely not our last. Everything was really good from the hostess stand throughout our meal. Thank you for a great night!!

Food is always good. I haven't ate inside in a while but my service is nice as well. Not a fan of the hibachi experience because I don't like the fire but it's good entertainment for those that may enjoy that.

4.5/5 Stars. Never been to a Hibachi grill before but the place was pretty nice. You definitely notice the staff takes pride in cleanliness. After the last guests left they cleaned the area pretty quickly and it was very neat. I'm not a big fan of Japanese Steak Houses, but I would go again for the experience and the food was pretty damn good

I read all these four and five star reviews and figured this had to be a good place to eat. Obviously those who have been doing the reviews ,have never eaten at a real Japanese steakhouse. To say this place was horrible would be an understatement. I got the steak and lobster at the hibachi bar. 80% of the steak I chewed and spit out because it was all fat and inedible. I saw others order steak and they received an actual steak. I received something that looked like a quarter inch brick. Oh The lobster tail was at best three or 4 ounces. and had absolutely no taste other than the fact that the chef drowned it in seasonings and sauces They threw down a big scoop of rice, half of which was not cooked. Then another gigantic scoop of vegetables thrown over top the rice. And then your food thrown over top of that. Which turns into one gigantic mess on your plate. I went to a Japanese steakhouse ,and saw not a single person of Asian descent,. other than one bartender. That should've given me my first heads up ! I know this general area is not known for its fine cuisine, but this place is really two star at best

Great food. Definitely will come back. Portion sizes were decent. The fried gyoza was amazing.

One of the best kept secrets in Smyrna. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere of the restaurant is good for the casual dinner or any celebration.

Food was delicious!!!! Chef also had a great personality which is always fun. We had tons of left overs.

Delicious food, went home STUFFED + had leftovers. Our chef was sooo awesome, fun, and friendly, and you truly get so much delicious food for a reasonable price. It gets busy so make sure to join the waitlist! It's well worth it though.

Visited as a "Plan B" when our first choice could not accommodate us. We called ahead, and while they don't accept reservations, they added our name to the waiting list, which was nice. We arrived to a full waiting area (very uncomfortable) and still had to wait probably 25 minutes for a table due to a very large group also waiting. Our server greeted us at the table and promptly took drink orders and then dinner orders. One in our party ordered a sushi/sashimi platter and said the fish was dry and didn't taste all that fresh. I ordered the steak and scallops combo. Our hibachi chef was not as playful as other chefs in the room but did OK; my steak was cooked perfectly, but the scallops were not allowed to sear long enough, and the they stuck to the grill. The tastiest seared part was scraped off the grill and thrown away! I didn't care for the sauce slathered on the veggies, steak, and scallops, and the traditional mustard dipping sauce was replaced with a "yum yum sauce" that tasted like a mayo-based remoulade - blech. This sauce was also offered as a salad dressing, which one in our group called "gross." The portions, particularly the fried rice, were absolutely ridiculous - every diner got at least two full cups of fried rice! Total waste of food. One last note - people go here often for birthdays, which are celebrated by the staff by banging drums and singing - loudly. This repeatedly interrupted conversations at our table. This is not a cheap place to eat. With a few tweaks and more attention to detail, it could easily earn another star, but as it stands now, it's not worth the money.

This was my first hibachi experience and I will say I greatly enjoyed myself. I had a new chef and you can tell he was a little nervous but he totally kilt it. It was an amazing show. The food was great. The restaurant I would say is family-friendly which is a plus for me and my kid.

After reading previous reviews me and my girlfriend were hesitant to eat here but we had a coupon so we said why not... Well let me tell you this place is amazing the seasoning on the rice and vegetables were awesome, the prices were what you would expect and the hibachi experience was worth it. Wait time was only about 5 minutes as well. They serve the typical hibachi sides ... clear soup and salad but on your salad you can get a different dressing vs the yum yum sauce (thought that was nice touch) The most common complaint we saw was they use a lot of seasoning and sauce ( teriyaki) let me tell you that made everything waaaaaay better than we expected. Nothing had a bland taste. So ignore those reviews if you like food with flavor

This is my fav hibachi restaurant! The food proportion is generous, the food is very well seasoned and I love the culture inside the restaurant. I often talk with the cooks to get a feel of what their island is like. The pineapple saki is bomb! I love ordering the filet and lobster dinner hibachi. Ask for the spicy rice!

We loved it! We found this place by accident. Trying to find a convenient place to meet friends from Nashville and us in M'boro to celebrate a birthday. This restaurant accommodated a reservation of 8 rather easily. The service, the hibachi and the food were fabulous. Reasonably priced and lunch the next day due to the large portions. We were all very impressed and just loved how delicious everything was and the staff was so friendly!! Definitely a return visit in the future!

First time going here with a group from work. We went to sit at the hibachi and there was a dead roach in the middle of the table. We got up and went to a normal table. No one was comfortable after that and we should have left but no one spoke up. We all ordered our food and it arrived quickly but was rather weak. The salad was drenched in a thick water chunky ginger sauce. Very bland tasting. The seaweed on the sushi was slimy and tasted like it had gone bad. The rice was not fresh and the sushi fell apart regularly. It was all around the worst sushi I have ever had.

Love this place. Food is always amazing and the value is unmatched. Would highly recommend.

The sushi is absolutely atrocious. Nothing tastes fresh all the sashimi was incredibly tough to chew and there was little to no flavor in any roll. Kroger sushi rolls are better. Delivery speed and temperature of the rolls was good but the food was so bad we couldn't eat and spent $70 on trash.

Absolutely love this place. I typically get the steak and chicken while the wife gets the scallops. Everything is fresh and cooked right in front of you (if you choose hibachi). The chefs are really friendly and entertaining. Portion sizes definitely match the price, seeing how I can never finish my meal. All in all a great experience to have, it's really the only hibachi place I frequent. Wait staff is attentive and friendly

You will not regret coming here! The volcano roll is a chef's kiss! There is a reason I choose to come here for my birthday every year!!!

Drove an hour to come here. Luckily we made reservations. My mom wanted Hibachi for her birthday. It was 9 of us AND everyone loved there food. The drive was well worth it!!!! I recommend doing a reservation so that you don't have to wait long. The cook was very entertaining, we loved him and our waitress. We all can't wait to go back!

Been here twice and both times the food has been pretty good. Not much in the line of hibachi entertainment. It's pretty basic without any excitement. But that's ok the food is good as well as the service. As I write this I would recommend the restaurant if you are in the area.

It's a restaurant I've been going to for many years! but the truth is they no longer know how to make sushi and the service is no longer good!!
