Tokyo Japanese Steak House

Atmosphere, food, and staff were excellent. Chef Lee was fantastic! Highly recommend this place.

Pros: Our server Victoria was absolutely amazing. The chef was quick, funny and cooked our food exactly how we wanted. The food was delicious Cons: The hostess (owner perhaps), was very rushed and quite obnoxious. Details: This restaurant is right in front of our hotel which was very convenient for us so we walked here for our dinner tonight. There was no one at the hostess station when we arrived. After waiting for about 5 minutes, my husband went to the bar and flagged down a server. He pointed us to the bartender, who was the hostess and perhaps also the owner. We waited for another 5 minutes after that. She came rushing to the hostess stand, didn’t even bother greeting us. Muttered something and took a party to their table. Then she came back for us and sat us in a table where the people seated there, were already finishing up their soup and salad course. We wanted to order drinks and appetizers, and didn’t want to be rushed so we asked the hostess if she could sit us in a new table as we wanted to enjoy our evening. She informed us that they didn’t have enough chefs and if we wanted to wait it would be over 30 minutes. She brought the sushi chef out to repeat what she said. He told us we could sit in the dining room and they will bring hibachi food out to us. We said we wanted our toddler to enjoy the hibachi ambience so we let go of the drinks and appetizers and just sat in our original seats. Not even 5 minutes later they brought a new group to the table next to us!!! Oh well. If it was just based on the owners, this review would have received 1 star but our server, Victoria and the hibachi chef turned our experience around hence the 4 stars. Victoria was such a calming presence to this restaurant compared to the harried and obnoxious hostess. She was so kind and caring and took such good care of us. She told me she was also a brand new mom like me to her four month old. She looked fabulous by the way. She took our orders and brought our soups and salads. While we were working on our soups and salads, the chef came. I wish I had gotten the chef’s name but unfortunately I didn’t. He was funny, and very entertaining. My toddler really enjoyed watching him. I had requested my salmon be cooked rare, and he cooked it absolutely perfect, just the way I wanted it. Very often in hibachi restaurants, the shrimp is overcooked, not this time with this wonderful chef cooking it. It was cooked to perfection. The vegetables were crunchy and tasty and the fried rice was delicious. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would really like to commend Victoria and the Hibachi Chef for taking such good care of us.

The contemporary atmosphere was very nice. The food was great. The only thing I Might change would be the music. An artist like Kitaro would have completed the whole experience, but that's just me.

Absoutley love this place ! Great food and sushi which is my favorite ! Great prices in the afternoon and just lots of fun atmosphere

I'm a regular customer, I come here ALL THE TIME with my family and friends. The food is great, people are ALWAYS willing to talk to you, and the boss is so nice, you'll want to cry. I saw that someone gave a horrible review, and I could not believe it. The people there are so nice, generous, and humorous. Everything there is so amazing, plus it always smells good😂 I recommend this place for EVERYONE, seriously you will never regret it. Luv this place and it's people so so much.❤️

We searched all over Nashville for a good hibachi place. We came across this one. Prices are reasonable and the food is DELICIOUS. We went on a Friday night and only had to wait for 5 minutes. Highly recommend. Will return in the future!
