After three visits to Tokyo in the last month, you might think I have gone overboard on the newest Japanese Steakhouse in Waco. Located on Franklin Avenue in the former TGIFridays location, Tokyo is a very nice addition to Waco. Waco now has 4 very similar Japanese Steakhouse restaurants. Tokyo certainly tops its numerous rivals.
After an extensive remodeling that seemed to take forever, Tokyo offers a fresh and clean look that is both comfortable and engaging. The Hibachi grill service is similar to others that you have probably experienced but Tokyo's attractive sushi bar and table service set it apart from other restaurants. The service was not quite as knowledgeable as it could have been but was attentive and swift.
The menu is reasonably priced compared to the other choices in Waco. It offers some combination opportunities not found at the others. Most of the entrees come with a generous dinner salad with a very tangy Asian dressing and some unique little crispy bits of crunch sprinkled on top. I have enjoyed the glazed salmon on two visits - once at lunch and again in combination at dinner. I have found the Bento Boxes to be a good value both at lunch or dinner.
I usually do not eat raw fish in Waco but the sushi I have tasted at Tokyo has been both fresh and tasty. Don't be afraid to ask for a sample of any of the choices before committing to a full order.
Compared to the other three Japanese Steakhouses - Tokyo is at the top.
