★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Angel Prevatte · Feb 2026

Loved this place for a long time. Never had an issue until now. They served me a cyst instead of steak meat. Had it doordashed to my house and it smelled weird when I opened the container. Didn’t think anything of it until I got this horrid, pasty feeling in my mouth. The meat was slimy and smelled like spoiled milk. I will probably avoid this place for a while after what I just experienced.

Hibachi chicken/shrimp with some broccoli and onions/peppers... meal was prepared quickly and was tasty... left some evidence on my white shirt (never fails these days that some sauce or food will miss my mouth, esp when its good)

★★★★☆ 4.0 SaltyNurse · May 2018

This place never disappoints. Tasty food, prepared in open, visible kitchen. Attentive staff. Atmosphere is fast food variety. Nice portions and acceptable cost. Come here several times per year, and will be back. Yummy, high sodium meals, unlimited soda and yum yum sauce. Sushi just ok.

Ordered the Scallop Habachi Bowl...Not Impressed. Dish was Scallop, Rice, soy sauce and a few pieces of broccoli...Thats it. No other ingredients. About $10 Rice was bland at best. Only good thing was the were a lot of scallops considering and they were good sadly IT shouldn't have been Scallop and flavorless Rice at a habachi. I ordered the 4-3-2 appetizer (4 wings 3 dumpling and 2 spring rolls.... OVERCOOKED AND HARD AS A ROCK! PLated on Styrofoam containers when It was so HOT that it melted and charred theStyrofoam!!! Eating melted Styrofoam with your takeout? Additionally, long wait even just to order... I wanted to like this place....but can't recommend.

My wife and I shared a chicken chow mein and two spring rolls at Tokyo Express. We had just arrived at the beach unpacked , and set up our trailer at Ocean Lakes Family Campground, and were extremely tired and needed some food . The lady working at Tokyo Express was so helpful ,and kind to split the meal on two plates brought it to our table ,and returned with forks and napkins ! Thank you for such an act of kindness and service! Wayne
