Tokyo Wako Long Beach

To start we were denied walk inThey said no walk in allowed and no reservation allowed

This is one of my favorite restaurants everyone compared it to Benihana‘s but I think it’s way better and it’s on the water

Amazing food the Filet was so tender and perfect. Cook was great.

Meh. At least the sushi was. Good location, servers were nice, touristy Japanese place. Lots of Teppan. I counted 18 or 20 grills, so maybe that's their thing. Don't waste your time or appetite on the sushi though.

We walk to this place expecting a lot, the outside is beautiful but as soon as you walk in you get disappointed by the ambiance, it lacks asian aesthetics (you would expect this when walking to an Asian restaurant). The food was an absolute fail, we order the Gyosas which surprisingly were good however the rest of the food was awful, the teriyaki steak had more flavor from the fat than from the sauce, the term of the meat wasn’t right and the rice that is given with the meat was soggy not well cook as it’s supposed. We also ordered some crispy rice to try and to be honest were the worst tuna rice crispy that I have try in my life the “rice crispy” was an actual store rice crispy with some smash tuna and bad avocado in top. The service lacks attention, yes they are nice but the hospitality service that you expect from a restaurant isn’t there at all, they need professional help to improve in everything they are so overpriced as well.
