Fresh, tasty and grand portions!. Befitting Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Tokyo Japan Cuisine is one of those dive-looking places, that has fantastic food. Decor notwithstanding, the variety and portions are fantastic. I ate a Bento box with California rolls, Spring rolls, beef teriyaki, fresh salad and gyoza (fried dumplings). Wish they could bottle that salad dressing….crisp and fresh and palate cleansing. All of that for $12.95! We also got an order of tempura veggies and prawns. Large chunks…crisped just right, for only $5.95. The cook and waitress/owner were friendly and full of smiles. They’ve never advertised in the eight years they’ve been open. Word of mouth is their advertising. If you like good, solid Japanese, this is a great place to go!
Greatsushi. By far my favourite place in town to get sushi, very fast service and good prices. As seen above someone was upset about not getting spoons for miso soup, it is not because they are forgetful but because they don’t serve spoons with miso soup. It’s basically just broth and is meant to be drank. Although if you do ask for spoons they are happy to give them.
The sushi wasn’t bad however quite messy because they were too big. The miso soup was cold, they brought only 1 spoon for 3 bowls. The sunomono was flavourless. The tables were disgustingly greasy, I could write on the tables with a chop stick in the grease. They didn’t provide plates or soya trays or water until we requested them, this should be a standard at all restaurants. She dumped the plates at my spot to give out individually to my family and looked angry that I even asked for them. There were no apologies and they didn’t ask us how everything was. Worst Japanese cuisine in town. I will not go back and recommend the same to all.
Awful this was the second worst sushi I’ve had sloppy presentation and the rolls had no distinctive flavor
Prince Gastronome. For the second day in a row, I spend a protracted amount of time trying to scrub the smell of garlic off my hands. Thanks to a recommendation, I peeled and crushed about twenty garlic bulbs and pressed them into ice cube trays for freezing. I like keeping garlic handy without having to muck about the task of peeling and crushing it each time. The unfortunate consequence is two days of scrubbing my hands like Macbeth’s wife with a concoction of Zest and petroleum solvent to remove a lingering odor that appears to be sweating out of me.There’s no point to that paragraph; I’m just venting. I am also recoiling from the sting of a cancelled platonic play-date at another restaurant. What better way to improve the mood than eating raw fish. I’d been craving sushi for three weeks but Sakura is still making it difficult for me. They were closed mid-week for a staff holiday, and when I returned a week later, their debits weren’t working. So I catch Tokyo Sushi outside of their lunch rush and take a seat.Tokyo Sushi appeared several years ago in the crossfire of two very prestigious sushi bars, the aforementioned Sakura and the much praised Suzuran. I’d eaten at Tokyo only once before and it didn’t impress, especially considering the competition less than a block away. Time and the lack of Suzuran have not improved the food. The dcor is still generic Asian, with hanging paper lamps and golden cats. I order the Sushi Combo C, priced at $17.95. For that you get six pieces of tempura roll, six pieces of sashimi, and a small bowl of miso. If that appears extremely expensive, you would be correct. The waitress is jubilant, though her lack of English is beyond what I expect. I can anticipate and even welcome a language barrier at a foreign restaurant, but the sushi bar I patronized in Hong Kong had employees with a better understanding of English. The cook delivers the food at my table with as much joy as an American colonel facing a mother whose son was gunned down by friendly fire. The miso is mostly water and lacks any punch. The tempura roll feels way too hot and falls apart each time I attempt to pick it up, indicating a very lazy preparation. The sashimi is cut way too large. Two pieces are disgusting with conflicting textures, feeling mushy and then tough. Sashimi is all about the cut and quality of the fish. Screw that up, and you might as well be serving me slabs of dead Uruguayan rugby player (too soon?). Despite its fragility, the tempura roll does go down well and is the best part of the meal, though it still suffers from the same issue as Wasabi Sushi. The tempura roll could be eight pieces for the same amount of food. As it is, I am stuck biting half way through a roll, which is NEVER a good idea. Sushi bars are growing across the continent, with more opening every year than McDonalds (though not Subways, that’s kind of insane). Ones that do open face stiff competition and so gain advantage from either the quality of their food, the value of the meals, or their location in the city. You should hope to dominant one of those categories. With Suzuran, it had the advantage of all three. Wasabi Sushi, previously reviewed, only had location on its side. Tokyo Sushi has none of these. It is overpriced; its sashimi is borderline revolting, and its location places it a block away from the most prestigious sushi location in town…at least the only one of its quality that is left. If Sakura is open with an operating debit machine, why would anyone go to Tokyo (unless Sakura’s quality has suffered in the year since last I ate)? For the second time now, I have been in a Japanese restaurant that acts more concerned about turning tables rather than making good food. Like Wasabi, Tokyo is plagued by quality issues and portions that need to be examined. In snagging the address online, I came across the various reviews for Tokyo, which range from extremely negative to overwhelmingly positive. Trust this writer by saying that the praise was probably written by employees.

The best sushi in Prince George. The restuarants condition however could be considered un clean if you think your to good for the store. But aslong as you are not a snob its fine. I look forward to dining here every time I do. Worth the money.
My favorite restaurant in town by far. I look forward to my meals here for days and can’t get enough of the food. The best sushi in prince George without a doubt.
