" Tokyo Express is my favorite spot for an easy dinner. I love their sushi—always fresh and ready. One minor complaint would be the consistency of the pacing when it comes to service; sometimes I have to wait longer than expected for my food, which is a bit inconvenient. Overall, a delightful place, especially for sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a recently nice experience at Tokyo Express. The veggies in my hibachi bowl were perfectly cooked and retained their crispness, which made for a delightful combination with the rice. The sushi was just okay; some of the rolls were a bit too heavy on the cream cheese for my taste but still enjoyable. Service was quick and friendly, so overall a pleasant experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequented Tokyo Express last week, and I must say I was blown away by the freshness of the ingredients! The sushi was not only visually appealing but also packed with flavors. I also love the fact that this is a family-owned business—there's something special about building that relationship with them. The owner recognized me immediately and remembered my order, which made my experience much warmer. I highly recommend their spicy tuna roll; it’s my favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi was enjoyable but not what I would call authentic. It was decent enough for quick bites, but if you’re looking for high-quality sushi, I’d suggest looking elsewhere. The service was okay, and the atmosphere had a casual vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the family vibe at Tokyo Express, I was disappointed with my last visit. The food lacked the punch I was hoping for; the chicken tasted reheated and the fried rice was bland. I reached out to the staff with my feedback and they were kind but my meal was already made. I appreciate how they try, but I feel like they missed the authenticity mark this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ever since we found this family-run place, it's been a weekly treat! Their fried rice is one of the tastiest I've encountered, and the teriyaki chicken is perfectly cooked every time. The owners genuinely try to know their customers, which keeps me and my family coming back. Great place for takeout, especially for busy nights! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say that Tokyo Express is a hidden gem! The son of the family helped me place my order, and I could see how well they treat customers. Their attention to detail is remarkable and you can taste it in the food as well. This is a convenient spot to grab sushi, but remember to share your favorite dishes, because they're generous here!
