Tokyo Express

We called ahead of time to order hibachi shrimp and a hibachi steak and chicken. We paid upon arrival and dat down to wait for it. And we waited and waited and waited. Finally my boyfriend got up to ask about our food, and after insisting we had already paid for our food, she gave us our bag. Turns out our bag had been sitting there for 15 minutes. We get home and eat our food and it was just so disappointing. The shrimp was powdery. Yes powdery, that’s the only word I can use to describe it. Obviously overcooked and freezer burned. There was no sauce and the shrimp was a sad imitation of Uncle Ben’s rice. My boyfriend’s steak and chicken was bland and over sauced. Finally the spring roll was burned to death. Inside and out. We will not be going back. Ever.

This is not the type of Japanese food I have ever eaten in my life. I did not like it at all. I didn’t try the Chinese though. Maybe that is their specialty

Arguably the best Chinese food west of the Ashley River — I’ve tried a few others. I have eaten 3 or 4 different dishes here (including wonton soup, chicken and broccoli, and steamed dumplings), and have never been disappointed. Pricing is very reasonable and there is rarely a wait.

This is great fast Japanese food. The teriyaki chicken is my favorite but if you don’t eat mushrooms, make sure to tell them. Staff are always quick and friendly. Conveniently located in the Merchant’s Village Shopping Centre at the corner of Harbor view and Folly Roads. Take it out or there are a few tables inside if you want, but they don’t serve you. Prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food.

The perfect Chinese take-​out restaurant. Great tasting well cooked fast food.

It’s The exact same food you get at Chinese take out places. Either this place isn’t Japanese or all those Chinese food places around aren’t Chinese. Also, each time I have gone there the portions are off. I order Chicken in Garlic Sauce not friend rice with a small side of chicken.
It’s close to the homes in Cane Bay and fast. Only perks.

For some reason, this is my gparents favorite place to get quick Chinese. While it’s not bad, it’s nothing to travel out of your way for. I’ve had the Sha Cha Chicken and the Curry Chicken, most recently. I wasn’t sure what Sha Cha Chicken was, but I wanted to try something new. While it was decent, I don’t think it was what was described on some food websites. The Curry Chicken was ok, lots of chicken and veggies mixed in, but could have used a little stronger Curry. You get a ton of food for what you pay, so no complaints there.

It can be hit-​and-​miss depending on which dishes you order, but Tokyo Express is definitely the best Chinese take-​out restaurant on James Island. The Singapore Rice Noodles are great (they might not be on the menu, so special order them), as are the dumplings, General Tso’s, and Hibachi dishes. Don’t expect five-​star cuisine (it IS Chinese take-​out, after all), but here’s a solid bet for a quick meal after work on a weeknight.
