| - i moved to the tempe area about 2 weeks ago from socal, the mecca for asian restaurants. since moving out here, my only taste for asian food has been panda express. well, i was craving teriyaki last night but had no idea where to go so i did a search here. tokyo house got a bunch of great reviews and everyone mentioned a cool old man behind the counter so i just had to check this place out.
as soon as i walked in the door, i was greeted by the old man...from across the joint, behind the counter, mind you. he was SUPER nice and SUPER funny!
checked out the menu and the selection was a bit overwhelming! they have every teriyaki dish available, and bunch of fried rice and noodle choices, and for those that like rabbit food, vegetable dishes. i was a bit surprised though to not see gyoza or pot stickers on the menu...was bummed out about that.
i had a hard time deciding what to get but remembered Sarah W.'s review of the house chicken, so i went with that. i went with a large order and let me tell you; if you're hungry, you definitely will be stuffed after a large order. the dish was very tasty and delicious and was definitely overflowing with mushroom. i love mushroom! the house chicken is supposed to be spicy and although it had a little kick, it wasn't the "spicy" i was used to from asian joints in socal. i wish it had a bit more rice, though. either way, the dish was great! i would definitely order it again!
i highly recommend this joint. you will be treated well by the cool old man behind the counter, the place is clean, the servings are generous and the price is cheap!
