Tokyo Sushi Japanese Restaurant

BEST. SUSHI. IN. RICHMOND!
My fiancé and I go here /​pick-​up dinner at least once a week! The fish is SO fresh and tasty, the service is spectacular and all around one of the best sushi spots I’ve ever been. Personal favorites are the Sashimi dinner and Avalanche roll

Very friendly staff. You will always be greeted promptly! The sushi is always good too.,.only complaint is that last time I ordered a to go order, I asked for extra wasabi and when I got home (5 min. Away) I noticed the wasabi was not spicy at all… not sure what happened? I literally put a full spoon full in my mouth and… NOTHING D: was so disappointed!! ha maybe the wasabi had been sitting out to long or was watered down somehow… who knows, anyway. Other than the wasabi incident… I recommend

Fantastic sushi and most pleasant and attentive staff. Moved to the area in late summer and have eaten here a fair number of times. Every single meal has been enjoyable.

Made a random lunch visit with my wife and was bowled over by the friendliness and quality of sushi. Ordered the fresh scallop after a strong recommendation and washed down with ice cold saki. Followed with sashimi plate, and a couple of rolls.
All meals came with miso soup and salad, very attentive service and a bonus set of coupons on our way out to tempt us back. We will certainly return!

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in Richmond. Last night my husband and I shared kani salad, a live scallop (really special!) the sushi sashimi combo dinner, the Snow White specialty roll, and hot sake.
On Fridays they offer scallops that are kept alive in their shell until ordered. the chef then masterfully slices the scallop into thin disks served between lemon slices over crushed ice. The texture of the scallop is so beautiful and the flavor is so fresh — like the sea.
The sushi sashimi combo dinner is plentiful (I forgot to detail the exact number) but it included tuna, white tuna, salmon, tuna roll, and California roll. All beautifully cut and assembled. Again, the quality and freshness of the fish is the best I’ve had in Richmond. (And Ive eaten at most of the popular spots)
The service at Tokyo sushi is excellent and the restaurant itself impeccably maintained and clean. Do yourself a favor and try this place!

We love this restaurant!!! We just moved to Richmond from Philadelphia and it is easily as good as any sushi we ate there. Now we go to Tokyo about every other week. The prices are good and the sushi is great. Best of all the hostess is so so so nice! She always recommends the best fish they have available. There are so many choices of rolls and they are all good!

Recently dined at Tokyo Sushi while in Richmond on business… reviews were rather positive, but did it live up to the hype? My initial visit says… Nope!
THE GOOD…
–seated promptly
–wait staff was friendly and courteous
–water refilled promptly
–restaurant appeared clean
–easy to park (located in strip mall)
–sushi rolls were ok… had Angela and Alligator Roll
THE BAD…
–very overpriced for such small rolls
–squid salad was gross (too much dressing, not enough squid)
–uni sushi was disgusting and recommended by waitress… didn’t taste good at all
–usually sushi or sashimi comes in two pieces per order… not here… only get 1
–bill was confusing how they kept a happy hour item in the total, but also included it below as a bar item… looked to be a double charge
Overall, this was a very mediocre sushi restaurant. The menu sounded good, but the execution missed the mark. I’d pass this place next time I’m back.

Good place. Went there for dinner while in town for business. Fish and scallops were very fresh and the hostess/​waitress was very friendly.

Not a bad Japanese restaurant. Service was friendly. Had the sushi and sashimi platter which should satisfy most with its selection of common fishes (tuna, salmon, etc.)
One note– the GPS directions are terrible. Look for the shopping center with the Martins grocery store.

Craziest bestest most awesomest sushi I’ve ever had! Power roll is my número uno! Kinda of a hole in the wall looking place but the food and staff make it all worth it

Excellent sushi hidden in a strip mall. Sushi is fresh and flavorful and well priced. One of my group is not a sushi fan and ordered the hibachi chicken which is a large portion served with veggies, rice and soup/​salad. She also thought her meal was great.
Staff is extremely friendly and welcoming.

This place is a hidden gem! Sushi was excellent highly recommend the «power roll». Will defiantly be coming back!

My parents are really picky about their sushi and they were really pleased with this place. We got a boat of sashimi and it was prepared beautifully with delicious, high-​quality fish. Glad to find a good sushi place nearby, I never would have known about it without Unilocal

I’m kind of disappointed in this place, probably because so many compared it to Akida. It’s not Akida by any stretch of the imagination, it does not even come close. And it’s far from the ‘best sushi in town’. It’s really not. I eat sushi literally almost daily, and this would be rated average to kind of above average. My sister and I had the black pepper tuna? appetizer, and that was good.
We had 3 specialty rolls, and they were on the expensive side (one was $ 14). One was boring, one was good, one was pretty good. But nothing phenomenal. We also had fried green ice cream which did not taste that good honestly, I think something went wrong in trying to prepare it. It was soggy and $ 6. Sigh.
Overall, I found this place to be average and pricey. If you are into that, then cool. But I don’t think this place deserve the hype at all.

I’m not super adventuress when it comes to sushi. I’ve been to Tokyo sushi a couple of times because it’s the closest sushi place to our neighborhood and overall I think it’s good. On this occasion I ordered a Boston roll, Philadelphia roll, California roll, and Godzilla roll for take out.
One awesome thing was that I was able to order the sushi online before I left work and pick it up on my way home! I LOVE that and the convenience of that process will definitely make me come back! I found the price of their sushi comparable to other restaurants and quality the same as well.

Good, quick and simple. Perfect little place for lunch. Nice selection and tranquil environment.

Everything is still good and the business is booming! Great sign! (it can be louder than it used to be, as people gather for parties. It didn’t bother me, it’s just not «quiet» at dinner time as I wrote one year ago ^^)
I am updating my other new favorites: aged tofu, fresh scallop (Thur-​Sat only), fried rice, chicken Katzu lunch box, plum wine, etc. Lunch deal is amazing!

My sisters and I have a tradition of going out to eat together every 2 weeks or so and like to try new restaurants while we’re at it and decided to try Tokyo Sushi today, and they did not disappoint.
Food — We ordered the Tokyo Love Boat and the Hawaiian Specialty Roll. Both were delivered at the same time and delicious. The sashimi on the Tokyo Love boat were fresh and each bit had a crunch to it, especially since I’m a fan of Akida Japanese restaurant! Along with the sashimi, the Tokyo Love boat also came with the California roll, specialty roll, and salmon roll. They were all deliciously rolled and delicious. The Hawaiian roll was also a great tempura roll — nothing really jumped out at me though — will probably try another roll if I do come again.
Price — As most places, the Tokyo Love boat is on the pricey side and I probably would not come back and order that again (maybe on special occasions only) but definitely a must-​try. Almost all the specialty roll range from $ 8 – 12, not bad at all.
Service — Our waitress was beyond nice and checked up on us quite frequently!
Overall, I will definitely be visiting this place again and try other dishes they have!

I enjoyed my meal at Tokyo Sushi Japanese Restaurant. Even though I was expecting a tableside hibachi, the food came out hot and was very good. Nice miso soup., solid salad with traditional tsunami of ginger dressing, and a tasty shrimp and steak hibachi main course. I ordered some sushi to go, too and it was good. Very good service. Friendly people. I’d return.

I’m a big fan of Japanese cuisine, so when we were in the area and saw positive reviews on Unilocal for somewhere that has Tempura and other personal favorites, we stopped on by. And I have to say it was a good call!
–Food: I ordered an order of Gyoza and Chicken Katsu, and my fiancée ordered Tempura Shrimp Udon with a side of Rice. Mine came with a side of Miso Soup and Ginger Salad as well.

— Gyoza: Tokyo Sushi serves them steamed and then panfried, so it’s not a crispy deep fried one like I would have hoped, but they did state it on their menu, so it’s my fault there. That said, they were pretty good!
— Miso Soup: As far as side miso soups go, the one here is probably one of my favorite of anywhere I’ve been, Japan included. I’m not sure why, but the flavor is just there and it was highly satisfying.
— Ginger Salad: Another big surprise at how much I enjoyed this. A lot of the time I just kind of eat it because it’s there and comes with the meal, but I really enjoyed theirs! In fact, these two side dishes probably are the deciding factor between a 4 and 5 here, haha.
— Chicken Katsu: While I prefer panko breaded katsu, their «Japanese cracker» breading was actually really tasty. The katsu sauce was flavorful and it was served with rice. All in all a very satisfying dish.
— Tempura Shrimp + Udon: My fiancée doesn’t like sushi or most Japanese food in general, but does love noodles and tempura, so this was perfect. She said it was very good, and I found myself eating the mushrooms and some veggies from her bowl as well.
–Cost: I don’t recall exactly how much it all came to, but I’m feeling in the ballpark of $ 30-​$ 40, which for an appetizer, two entrees, and a side isn’t bad at all. It’s in my opinion no cheaper or more expensive than your typical Japanese restaurant.
–Service: The older woman we had serving us was helpful and refilled our water a couple times. It was more or less dead there at the time, so I can’t really say how it would be when it was busy.
–Atmosphere: The restaurant is located next to a gated community in Glen Allen, and everything is pretty nice. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but there was plenty of seats when we went, so it wasn’t a problem. The music was a gentle background Asian instrumental track, which I really enjoyed. The bar area up front was snazzy looking.
–Overall: So while we didn’t have Sushi at a place with Sushi in it’s name, going here was a great lunch choice. It’s not the best Japanese place I’ve ever been to, but it was up there with the consistency of all of the dishes including surprisingly good soups and salad. It’s probably my favorite traditional Japanese place in Richmond at the moment. I’m sure we’ll return at some point, and perhaps I’ll try some of their specialty sushi rolls.
