| - I did not dine in here, so I cannot speak to the service or the hibachi here. However, if you're craving good sushi and good Korean for delivery or take-out, it's pretty awesome. The best ever in the world? No, but more than acceptable.
For sushi, I got a spicy hamachi temaki and the Crazy Horse maki (salmon and scallop topped with salmon, masago, and two different sauces). The fish was all very fresh, and the Crazy Horse roll was one of the best special rolls I've had in a long time. I also had the Kimchi Ghige. As far as I know, I thought this dish was usually more stew-like whereas this was much thinner than I'm used to...I mean it was straight up soup. But oh well, it was delicious soup! There was plenty of pork and tofu, and the pork was just fatty enough.
My only issue was that the chefs here seem to have a strange aversion to spice or something. The Kimchi Ghige wasn't spicy at all (other incarnations I've had have been bright red in color), and neither was the spicy mayo on my hamachi. Hell, even the wasabi was rather mild. Being a lover of spicy food, I was pretty disappointed by this. I also didn't care too much for the ban chan (something about their pickling tasted weird to me) but I wasn't too concerned about that, especially considering how difficult it is to find good Korean in Pittsburgh.
I do feel that Tokyo is slightly overpriced but if you're willing to splurge a bit to have good sushi delivered to your doorstep, you've come to the right place.
