| - I went for lunch today and was seated by a sweet you girl. My friend and I often go to Sushi Inn, but we decided to try Tokyo Kitchen for the first time as it is supposed to be very authentic Japanese food.
The restaurant itself is rather bare bones with limited decorations and plastic chopsticks and cups. The menu is also on the smaller side with fewer options than you may typically expect to find.
My friend ordered the special of the day which was beef teriyaki which came with rice, salad, and a croquette (fried potato ball with meat mixed in). I ordered a cucumber roll and the sunomono salad (seafood, seaweed, cucumber, and a sweet vinegar. The cucumber roll and salad came quickly and I decided to order a second order of the sunomono as the serving size appeared quite small. This second salad also appeared quickly. After waiting for about half an hour without any sign of my friend's food, we decided to inquire about it. It turns out that the waitress had not heard the order for the special of the day, so it had not been prepared. At this stage I was a bit confused about why the waitress had not come to check in on us earlier as we were sitting with three plates of untouched food in front of us for about 25 minutes (I had not touched my food as I was waiting for my friend to receive hers). Her plate came quickly after we fixed this mix up.
The cucumber roll was quite large (8 pieces) with a lot of rice and chunks of cucumber rather than the finely sliced slivers I typically expect. The seafood in the sunomono salad was crab meat and two pieces of shrimp. I found the dressing to be quite salty and one bowl contained considerably more dressing than the other. My friend said her beef teriyaki was good, although it wasn't an outstanding dish.
The smaller restaurant got rather busy during the lunch hour and the server was getting a bit overwhelmed as she was tending to everyone on her own. At one point, the female chef actually emerged from the back to bring out two dishes to patrons.
Payment is also a bit confusing because some people paid at their tables whereas others went up to the counter to pay. We had to ask for our bill and the waitress asked us to come to the counter to pay.
Overall it probably is good authentic Japanese food, but I don't think I will be rushing back anytime soon. I was also disappointed that we were not offered complimentary green tea.
