| - Tokyo Grill seems to be a favourite among the university student crowd because every time I go, they're the dominant demographic. I can understand why, since the food is decent and not over-priced.
They offer many home-style or "typical" Japanese foods, like those you would be served if you visited a Japanese friend at their home.
My favourite selections have been the udon, and the tofu "steak", the latter being a slab of steamed silken tofu wrapped in a crepe-like fried egg dressed with sauteed bean sprouts. It's probably not the most tasty dish you can ever imagine, but it's unique, healthy and always manages to satisfy my hunger. Another favourite of mine that's available in the summer months is the hiyashi-chuka, or Chinese-style chilled noodles... it's also something that you can't always get most places.
The broth they use for udon and ramen has been excellent. I suspect though that they might use packaged/instant ramen... not sure--I've only ordered it once, as I can find better ramen elsewhere.
Their sukiyaki is also a good deal, and very tasty, though it's not cooked at your table. Rather, it is served in the cast iron pot it was cooked in.
