First time here. Celebrating my goddaughter's 30th birthday. The first thing you see when you walk in the door is the bar. It was very entertaining. Food was delicious. The edamame was a little cold. Don't care for miso soup. Service was great. The salad needed shaved carrots and cucumbers. It was plain, plenty of parking.
Chef Joshua was funny, quick-witted, and an overall joy to the Tokyo experience we've come to love! The food was so delicious on top of the great service! Hostess Saray was wonderful, as she kept our glasses full and made sure we were having the best experience possible! I've been coming to Tokyo Steak since I was a kid and the joyous, family-like atmosphere is what keeps me coming back year-after-year. Thank you guys for being so great! To anyone reading, I highly recommend Tokyo Steak for your next dine-in choice!
Michael was amazing! After waiting 3 hours he was able ro get us fed & well taken case of! He's very sweet & professional, such a hard worker & very quick during these busy holiday times!
The actual rating would be a 4.2, I gave the whole five because this is the first teppanyaki restaurant that asked if anyone at the table had any sensory issues. They identified that they would have loud noises, possibly flashing of light from them using the spatula and other equipment, along with the use of fire. They let us know we could opt out of any of the above. A few issues with the restaurant were that it is overdue for a renovation as the walls need to be repaired/repainted and the carpet needs to be replaced. The servers were not the best, as they missed a few opportunities to check in with our table and did not notice we had been sitting at our table waiting for the check. Now it's time to point out the best parts, chef Michael was AMAZING!!! We have been to the two major competitor companies one starting with a "B" and the other with an "S," Chef Michael could contend and beat most of the competitor chefs. His storytelling, customer service, and caliber with which he prepared our food, were superior! At our table, we had a few orders of shrimp and scallop dinners, and everything was perfect. I even tried one of the scallops (which I usually do not like because they have always been rubbery). These were perfect, sweet, and buttery. We also had steak and chicken, shrimp yakisoba, and a spicy tuna roll. Everything was perfect; this is not the best location, but for an area that does not have competitors anywhere close, let me know if you will get a better value here. They have everything you would get at one of the other places but with an environment that is more welcoming and friendly, better quality cooking, and the best storytelling combined with the true artistry of cooking.
First visit to your restaurant. Food was good, menu should show more pictures of food so you know what your serving will look like. Preview pictures of appetizers. This will increase sales. Waitress' should also offer them. Waitress' and chefs dressed professional and they were friendly. A couple of ladies came in and were seated at our table with already six people and they asked to move to another table, it felt cramped. In all we enjoyed the evening and dinner, wish you had a choice of soups, like egg drop soup. We ate the soup but commented we didn't care for the taste. It would be nice if time periods were explained; It seemed awkward, in the in-between times, as we wondered what was going on. Another tip. One couple at the table were eating their salad and soup when we came into the restaurant. When it came time to watch dinner cook and be served, the chef cooked our food first and served the couple that came in way before us last, seemed awkward for us, this is just an observation. We will return, a little more educated, and will try some different entrees. We understand your fried union rings are the best. I also want to try your egg rolls and tempera shrimp.
Came here to celebrate a graduation. Arrived at 12 exactly at opening. We were seated right away. The restaurant overall could be more organized as you see boxes lying around and there is also one room full of different items that should be closed and not be exposed to the public. The experience itself was awesome, our chef was Angel and he made sure that we were included in the presentation. He didn't just cooked the food but every dish had a story to go with. Ordered the steak and chicken combo which comes with salad, miso soup and vegetables. Rice is additional cost but worth it. The waiter was great as well, kept our drinks filled and was constantly checking on us. Worth to give it a try!
For my first ever Teppanyaki experience, I had the opportunity to go to Tokyo Steak here in Palmdale for my cousin's birthday and it was a great time. I did not really know what to expect as I had never been somewhere like this before. All I knew was that they cook food in front of you lol. I ordered a chicken and steak combo and it was really good actually. A little too high in price if I'm being honest but it's the spectacle you're also paying for not just the food. That being said, our cook, Angel, did a spectacular job. He was great to talk to and he made everyone feel comfortable at the table. He cooked our food with expertise and total professionalism. Props to him. Also the waitress was very attentive and made sure we had all the things we needed like hot sauce, water or appetizers. I also liked the environment of the restaurant. A bunch of photos of sumo wrestlers and decorations. They had some swords up at the front by the bar which was pretty cool and they even have a big wall by the entrance that has photos of famous people who have eaten at the restaurant before.
