I have eaten at tokyo a few times and have always been pleased. Most recently I went with my mother around 5 oclock. We were seated immediately and our waiter was pretty friendly. We received our drinks quickly, I ordered a sunset which was pretty decent. Our orders were taken quickly. We had 2 Las vegas rolls and the tornado roll. It was all very good and hot. Everything was very smooth the whole time. I would only suggest to create a better happy hour menu to stay in competition with the other sushi places in lincoln. The quality is there, just not the prices. Needless to say, I'll still keep coming back.

The food is great most of the time! I have been there a couple times where the food was luke warm as if it had been sitting there for awhile. I recommend take out because the dine in service is terrible.

Absolutely the worst place to go for anything. Food was not warm and took over a hour to get. Horrible service, not one person came back to check on us or refill our waters. When it was time to pay it took another 30+ minutes to get the check and then when picked up the waiter never came back with our cards we had to go to the front to get them, as he was doing other things at the bar. Horrible experience and will never come back or recommend the place to anyone.

Same service problems as before, I've tried a couple other rolls since my first visits. My favorites are definitely the Las Vegas, Maui and Michelle Obama rolls. It's great that your meal includes Miso soup, Tokyo's miso is my favorite in Lincoln. Happy Hour varies day to day and each day is a different selection of rolls. I highly recommend Tokyo Steak and Seafood if you don't mind service issues.

Been here four or five times. Usually get sushi which is decent but for the price not as good as it should be. There are better places to go in lincoln for cheap more authentic sushi.

Great place for Japanese teppanyaki (where they cook in front of you on a flat top). They do a great job of entertaining you and have a decent price selection. Their sushi menu is also half way decent but does not seem to be as fresh as Hiro or Blue is downtown. This place can be hit or miss for busy. Sometimes it is, sometimes its nearly empty so that can be either good or bad. The rolls do not seem very imaginative, mostly basic stuff and typical rolls. Stick with the teppanyaki and you won't be disappointed. Great for families and birthdays. Note: This place is very very similar to Shogun. Honestly I have a hard time differentiating the two because they are so similar.

Went here last week. The sushi was really good but their bar needs help.. Ordered a Gin&Tonic.. They came back with a Very diluted drink and said they were out of Limes.. So they put a lemon it it! Don't think so!! Maybe if I return I will stick with something more basic?? The stars are only for the sushi!!

There is a massive smelly koi pond in the middle of the restaurant, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!! Seriously, it makes the entire place smell heavily of fish feces. Then there is the food. The sashimi tastes like it was fished out of said stinking koi pond last week, and served for 10 dollars for 4 tiny slivers which is lucky, cause I couldn't choke them down. The rolls are repulsive, the miso is salt water, and possibly some koi pond scum. Most disgusting place I have ever been. If you get into the restaurant and think to yourself " I can maybe possibly put up with the stench" remember, that the food is the solid version of that smell.

The food was really good but the only problem with the restaurant in my eyes is that the service was really slow and lazy. The cook even had to ask the bus boy for a server because me and the rest of my group's drinks had not been filled in like 15 min. Then we asked some people who had sat at our table if the service was always like this and they said "No I don't know why it is so bad". Then when our server was coming to give us our check she said to the people sitting at our table would you like your drinks filled and the other people at our table said "No but the people over there do". She said ok with a full pitcher of water in her hands and left without filling our glasses. After we paid I went to one of the servers and asked to speak to a manager and she said "I am the manager". But I knew she was lying, so I asked "who really is the manager". Finally she brought out what I assume is the real manager and I told him all the service issues that we had, But I also told him that his cook did a really nice job and all that he said was yes, ok, and I'll talk to her about it and we got nothing deducted to our meal he didn't even offer us a discount or refund or anything of some sort. so we left and I was very disappointed in our time at Tokyo and I am very pleased that I can go back to shogun. Service seems to be an issue here hopefully the owner sees this and makes some much needed corrections.

Came in and had a party of 4 for hibachi. We sat and ordered octopus salad and a roll and it was pretty good. Another set of couples came in and sat next to us. They ordered sushi and hibachi and their sushi finally came after we were all done eating the hibachi. I can't believe they didn't comp their sushi and that they blamed it on take out orders. The place was virtually empty, the table we were at was the only one in the place. Gotta say, they took it better than I would've even when they requested that they be discounted and the server all but laughed at them. Very disappointed. Speed and customer service are not attributes you can expect from this place. Recommend only having hibachi if you are going to eat here.

Sushi so slow you'd think they were flying it in from Japan. Let me say first that their sushi is not *bad* but it's really not that great. I've been there a half dozen times - the last four times only because somebody else really wanted to go - and each time has been an adventure. My most recent visit involved me waiting nearly an hour a simple order and multiple failed attempts to talk to servers. I stood up at one point to look around and there were only five tables of diners (just over a dozen people) in the place so I'm still unsure what the problem was. This was on a Friday night, by the way. If you enjoy long waits for your food or trying to flag down staff (any staff would do), then Tokyo is the place for you. There are other sushi spots in Lincoln that are worth looking at if you're in the mood.

We come at least 3 times a month! Miso soup and the salad is amazing! Would recommend it to a lot of people!

My husband and I visited Tokyo today for lunch. We ordered from the sushi menu and I also had the miso soup. The soup wasn't great--hardly any tofu or seaweed and the broth just tasted a little off. Now, I will admit that my expectations for the sushi were a little low, considering that Lincoln is not close to water and I've had sushi in a variety of big cities where it is definitely better, but overall it was pretty good. We ordered spicy tuna, unagi, and paradise rolls, as well as mackerel, smoked salmon, and unagi nigiri. The rolls were definitely better than the nigiri, where the lack of freshness was pretty apparent. The unagi and salmon were okay, but the mackerel was really fishy and not good at all. So, overall, we were satisfied with this sushi experience, but I think ordering rolls is probably a better bet than nigiri/sashimi.

Visiting from Oregon and my daughter and husband took me here. I have learned to enjoy sushi from my time in Japan many years ago and I have been eating Japanese food ever since. This is a nice enough place but on the inside it look a little run down and needs a little cleaning. We sat at the sushi bar where we were greeted by the sushi chef. I was able to speak the little Japanese I knew and we had a nice conversation. We ordered and he presented a very nice plate of sushi and sashimi. The sushi was Oishii.

Tokyo is so far my favorite sushi place in town (there are still a couple of places I haven't gotten around to trying). It's in a strange location, on the north side of a strip mall (next to a Shopko). Once you enter, you'll notice the place could use a face lift. Things are pretty rundown and in need of repair. They have a koi pond that needs to be cleaned, and a huge aquarium that needs it even more. The service is typically slow, but pretty friendly. It might take a while to get your soup and beverages out after you order, so be ready for that. They have quite a few Japanese beers available as well as sake and lots of fruity, fru fru mixed drinks. The food is pretty good. The rolls are giant, and they have tons of specialty rolls to choose from as well as various sashimi options. My favorite roll is the Maui Roll (cream cheese, crab, shrimp, veggies, and mango on the top). I'm also a big fan of the Crunchy California roll (tempura, flash fried California roll). Tokyo also has a grill side (although I always go to the sushi side), and I've sampled some of their Japanese meals that have been very tasty as well. I have had a taste of some really great beef and chicken dishes with delicious sauces and fresh veggies on the side. Tokyo isn't the best sushi I've ever had, but it's the best I've found thus far in Lincoln. Until I find something better, it will satisfy my sushi cravings for now!

Usually when I'm in the mood for sushi I drive to Omaha. This was my second visit to Tokyo Steak and Seafood. My first trip was over a year ago and I was pleasantly surprised. It was good, not great, but definitely good enough for when I need a sushi fix and don't want to drive far. So, my second visit...very sub-par. Staff was friendly. Slow, sometimes non-existent service from our waitress. The next tables waitress took better care of us than our own. Vegetable Tempura was the worst I've had. Batter was very thick, and undercooked. Vegetables seemed past their prime. Sushi was okay. Not the worst I've had. Sad to say I've gotten better quality from HyVee in the cold case. But the rolls were very sloppy, just falling apart. Presentation was dreadful. That was before grabbing them with my inferior chop stick skills. I had high hopes, but I'm afraid I won't be going there again.

In Lincoln. NE. Landlocked. But mouth watering, fabulous sushi! I live 3 hours away, but when I visit or go on business trips, I always take my students or coworkers here. It's nice because if you have a sushi stand off guest, they can always order steak or something on the other menu. Great sushi for a price, but it's SO worth it.

My husband and I visited Tokyo last week. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing - the cheesy japanese theming starts outside with the waterwheel and continues inside with bonsai trees and koi pond. The service was relatively quick and friendly... now on to the food. We ordered a plate of chicken yakisoba and a HUGE sampler of both sushi and sashimi. The yakisoba was decent - lightly flavored, and not the salty-soy-teriyaki flavor you usually get. The sushi rolls were alright - nothing extremely good or terrible about them. However, the sashimi and nigiri were distinctly unpleasant. The fish wasn't very fresh and the result was rubbery/rough meat. Ew. Normally salmon sashimi is smooth as butter, and so delicately flavored that my husband and I fight over them... and here we had trouble eating a second piece. So, if you're going to 'take the edge off' of a Japanese food craving, or you just want california rolls - this place might do the trick. But, if you're wanting to find a place to experience really good sashimi - I'm afraid this doesn't even begin to fit the bill. :(
(2)Ryan C.
Eaten here twice - once for sushi & once for the tepanyaki. Overall, its a pretty mediocre establishment. Cheesy decor, slower than average service, food is ok but misses the mark, little overpriced - nothing terrible, but probably won't return. Much better options in the Lincoln area.
(2)John R.
Mediocre sushi and rolls. The place has decent but far from good sushi. Tokyo has a verity of rolls and selections on the menu, but they are somewhat off the mark. Could use some refined chef skills with better ingredients. If you're in the mood for sushi and don't really mind an OK experience, Tokyo is your spot.
(3)J C.
decent enough food but would like a better presentation for a Teppanyaki style dinner experience. The kids did enjoy it and the cook accidentally gave me 6 year old an entire fillet steak which was a bonus for the rest of us as he is not yet a big steak fan. Pretty pricey which I would not complain about but presentation did not meet my expectation when compared to other hibachi experiences. The old jax shach or bobs or whatever is a nice set up for breaking up the restaurant but the steak house area was a little bright for me. Will visit with only my wife to try the sushi.

It's true that Lincoln has its fare share of Asian restaurants to choose from. More importantly it has become a real venue for restaurants featuring Sushi and other Japanese-style cuisine. The latest addition is the Tokyo Steak and Seafood House located in the former Grid Iron Grill on 27th St. just north of HWY 2. For those who are experienced (and not-so experienced) with Japanese restaurants in the Lincoln area I think we have a true gem here. I had the chance to have my first visit while celebrating a friend's recent promotion. Rarely do you see restaurants similar to Tokyo Steak naturally offer the following combination of needs for the customer: ease of ordering, speedy AND timely service, expertly crafted dishes and competitive prices. Tokyo Steak has all of these in abundance. More often than not some sushi bars in town take an extremely long time to get orders to their customers. A form of staggered service takes place where you and your guest will slowly be given your entire order over time. Obviously, this can be okay if you have planned a meeting over a lunch or dinner but for other customers this is not something particularly enjoyable especially when you have more planned for the evening. While at Tokyo Steak I was pleasantly surprised by the prompt service. Our party of three received the entire order within 15 minutes (that's pretty quick) and it didn't seem like the table was over-stacked with plates of food. Having an uncluttered table is very refreshing along with excellent food and drink. And I cannot stress enough how good the sushi is at Tokyo Steak, plus they have a very wide selection of rolls! Another thing that struck me about Tokyo Steak was the steps they took in creating a reasonably quiet yet vibrant ambiance. From where we were seated we never felt like we were tucked in a corner but didn't feel as though we were sitting beside a busy highway of servers, customers, etc. Having not frequented the former Grid Iron Grill, I have no comparison between decors. However, Tokyo Steak's furnishings including a Koy pond looked excellent. All in all Tokyo Steak and Seafood House is a dining experience that cannot be beat for lovers of Japanese cuisine. And it's not that hard on your wallet to boot. Sadly, they are not open for lunch but this could change in the future and did not make me hesitate to give them all five stars. Plan the start of your evening at Tokyo Steak and Seafood House real soon. Enjoy!

We made reservations a few weeks beforehand for New Years Eve for 8pm with another couple. We arrived at 7:30pm and were not seated until 9:30pm! There was a full house (of course), with only one poor gal working the bar and a hostess that was also waiting tables! People walking in w/o reservations were seated ahead of us. One couple complained that they had been waiting awhile and were handed a $30 gift card before they left! We pointed this out to the hostess, but she kept saying to wait, so we did (where else would we go on New Year's?). FINALLY after being seated at 9:30pm at the teppanyaki grill (we were the last to be seated in the restaurant), our orders were taken. The teppanyaki chef arrived a little after 10pm; it was a little strange to have a Hispanic teppanyaki chef and he was not very good. He dropped 3 eggs on the floor (I'm not kidding) and when he went to throw the shrimp for people to catch in their mouths (the teppanyaki staple entertainment) I think only 2 of the 8 at our table were able to catch them, but by that time I was so starving I didn't care. The food was ok, nothing great; sushi was also nothing special. We mentioned to our waitress about our wait and that we'd like to speak to a manager after our meal. She sent over the owner instead. He tried to sidestep our complaints and joke that where else would we want to be on New Years? Did my husband have to meet his girlfriend still (a remark that offended me greatly)? After about 10 minutes discussing things with him he took our bills and said "he would make things right." The waitress brought our bills and we had received a 25% discount (about $19 on a $75 bill for the two of us). We explained to her we saw people complain and LEAVE and get more of a discount! We told her to take the bills back and say it was not acceptable! She came back with half off. We paid and left the restaurant at 11:30pm. We barely made it to our friend's party to see the ball drop. NEVER will I go back to this place: FOUR HOURS of my life I will never get back! I patronize his ex-wife's place and go back to Shogun...
