Why Travelers Love TOKIO
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I really, really enjoyed our visit at this restaurant. It is vibrant and nicely designed. Our round table with leather seats was very cosy. What I have to point out is the lightning - discreet, yet lighting up what is important, the table and the food. It is obvious that this place was designed by someone who knows the restaurant business. The staff is very professional with exceptional English - sometimes maybe a little too ingratiating, but is it my personal setting, I think. The concept of modern Japan cuisine with a twist was smart, the menu was varied (I would skip the pad thai in this kind of place though, since it doesn’t match the concept) with great pictures of each dish, so you know what you are going to get exactly. The drinks were nice as well. I have mentioned a lot of positives that create the final sum, so it is not for every day dinner for most. But I would be happy to come again if there was a special time. This is the first time for us eating in that restaurant and it just an awesome place with a delicious food. Risci the waiter was very kind and with very good vibes which absolutely added a great value for the time being. We will come back there, thats forsure! The most incredible sushi. I highly recommend the rock prawns, deep fried wagyu sushi and wagyu slices can’t remember the name but absolutely delicious. We ate there twice last weekend and had wonderful service. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We had visited 3 years ago and were happy to return. If you love sushi it is a MUST. Excellent coffee too.

Nice restaurant, great atmosphere and service. The food is really good! The prices are quite high (at least €2,5 a piece) and the menu is a bit confusing, maybe because there’s a lot to choose.
