Tokyo Express

Cheap, fast, tasty. And they don’t fill your plate with 9 million onions like most of the other in-​and-​out Japanese places in Greensboro, it’s actually rice, meat, and veggies. Also, the staff is very nice.
It’s nothing extravagant, but affordable and good. I don’t understand people that give crappy reviews to places like this saying things like «they don’t serve real Japanese rice». Lol. You pay 5 bucks and wait 5 min and expect a chef to come out and give you a show like A tepanyaki Japanese steakhouse. Something is wrong with people. You can’t beat this food for the price.
Oh, and they deliver in the evenings if you live close by. Woot!

It ought to be a crime to use the word Tokyo at this incredibly poor excuse for Japanese eats. They don’t even serve Japanese rice!

This place is great! Very fast, delicious food. Great lunch specials. Super affordable. Updated to 5 stars because I’ve become a regular customer there and have never been disappointed.

You get what you pay for. I got the hibachi chicken special with veggies and fried rice. You can tell the veggies were sitting in the salty sauce which was probably just watered down soy sauce from the taste of it. The veggies were not firm and dark from sitting in the sauce. The chicken was dry and bland. The fried rice you mind as well just been white rice with some hoison sauce. No egg, no veggies no flavor. It was just rice with sauce mixed together. The white sauce was gross as well. I’ve have had a ton of meals all over the east coast and this was by far the worst meal. I ate half of it and left. Only thing worth eating was the carrots.

You cannot beat the food for the price! Just as good as a Hibachi dinner restaurant that’s three times the prices.
Think about it: for $ 5 – 8 dollars you can buy lunch at a fast food restaurant, have it taste great at the first bite, horrible by the last, feel awful 10 minutes later and regret you ever did it.
Or…you can come here and for the same price or even CHEAPER (most fast food combos are topping $ 10 now) get freshly sautéed veggies, meat and rice and generous portions too!
I really hope this restaurant stays in business. It’s no frills, nothing fancy, just above average food at below average prices. We need more places like this!!!

Two Fridays ago, a group of five of my cohorts in crime stopped by for the shrimp lunch special. Four of us had the special, and were sick that night. The fifth wheel, stuck to a small side salad with ranch. I’ve never had a problem here before, but, it was kind of fishy that the four of us who had the special got sick.
Furthermore, on most of the plates, there were only 4 – 5 penny sized shrimp on the plate, but, one plate did have 8 shrimp. To be sitting together, and to have that happen, as well as a large variance in the amount of food each of the four people with the special got. One plate was literally overflowing, while the next didn’t even have enough to fill the divided plate’s sections. Two customers had large cups of shrimp sauce (the whole reason we go!), while the other two had cups half the size of the other two.
The four of us each paid $ 5.50 with tax, but the differences in portions delivered at the same time to the same table, and the ensuing feelings of being unwell hours later really doesn’t make me want to go back anytime soon.
Over the years, their prices have only gone up about $ 0.25, so I understand the portions getting smaller. But, to have that large of a difference at one table is crazy. Not sure what’s going on here, but if it was my first time, it would have been my last.

Inexpensive lunch which included a drink. The food was just OK in my opinion.

Okay, I seriously didn’t expect a whole lot since this is just a take out joint, but the food was fresh, plentiful, and I can see myself putting the Yum Yum sauce on anything and it would taste good. Literally put it on cardboard. It was inexpensive and quite frankly delish. I ordered the steak and broccoli and added mushrooms. If I had to complain the rice was a little over cooked but only slightly and it won’t deter me from coming back.

Just got takeout here for the first time. Really good steak and broccoli hibachi. The carrots and rice were also tasty. At first I was worried it wouldn’t come with any, but was pleasantly surprised it came with plenty of yum yum sauce! Staff was fast and friendly.

Can’t beat the price or the weekday lunch specials. This is a decent lunch that won’t disappoint.

Definitely did not disappoint us! I got in and ordered my hibachi steak and within 5 mins the order was out. Staff was friendly and efficient. Steak was cooked just right and the sweet carrots wasn’t overly sweet. I think if your looking for a quick Japanese meal this is the place to go! I couldn’t ask for more for such a great price.

They don’t even give you sauce after upwelling someone never will eat at this cat food place again
