"This review is regarding my visit (07/20/18) at 7pm. The hostess was extremely friendly and sat us down promptly. Immediately after taking our seats, my party and I felt very warm. Apparently we weren't the only ones because several people from the tables in our section were fanning themselves with their menus. Our hostess told us there was a slight issue with the AC and that they were working on it. No big deal. Or so I thought. It just seemed to get warmer and warmer. We placed a pretty large order with a strategy. First the three apps, then the first round of sushi (four rolls), then the second round of sushi after that (another three rolls). Our server was amazing and he placed the order exactly the way we asked. Super attentive and friendly. Well, it was a good thought while it lasted because everything wound up coming to our very small table at the exact same time. Still, we're a creative bunch and we made it work. No big deal. Now, here's where I really took issue. The fish on the rainbow roll I ordered wasn't cold. That really bothered me because I'm super picky about sushi and I kinda have this thing where I like raw fish to be cold. Then I tried the barbecue beef ribs. They were so bland. I then tried the dragon roll and was severely disappointed. The unagi tasted like butane and I couldn't continue eating it. The Alaskan roll was assembled lazily and it was literally falling apart when it came to my table. We had to use a spoon to pick up and piece because it couldn't hold its shape! Now, I can forgive a lot of things but I have a big problem when the food I'm paying for isn't up to par. On every other occasion I've been to this location, the food was amazing. Tonight was just a fluke, I suppose. I'm not the only one in my party who thought so. It was super warm in their and the food was such a disappointment that we all decided to leave. TL;DR Restaurant was warm, raw fish not cold, food didn't taste the same, so we left for another restaurant."

"Best hibachi. Tokyo is THE best hibachi restaurant I've eaten at thus far, and I've been around the block when it comes to hibachi. I'm from NJ, so when traveling I don't expect to find the same caliber of food as I would find in the NJ/Philly/NYC area, especially being a jack ass. Don't be offended, I'm just being honest and it's what I've come to experience in my travels the more modern/progressive cities have more to offer in terms of cuisine. So, anyway, I was staying with friends in Daphne and wanted nothing more than to get back into a CITY and have something good to eat. We ended up finding a Japanese restaurant not too far from down town FairHope. We opted for Sushi as opposed to Hibachi but they have both here.. The quality of the sushi was very good and the service was stellar. While we were there it was Happy Hour so many SUSHI items were BUY ONE GET ONE FREE.(but the prices were already low to begin with) so my spicy tuna roll was very good, and the FairHope roll was even better. And it was good. Really good. So good that it put the crappy sushi I had from Pan Asia at my home town to shame. Unlike the last visit, a young fellow could not understand much in English. This time our chef was Alex. I am not sure when he told us he was Italian. Same as i? What a great joke. I ordered the Filet Mignon and shrimp, The temperature was just about right , Firmly cooked and still juicy. The fired rice was golden brown and the Veges was tender but crispy. Few other places i go come with noddles. He also called them Pass ta plate like Marco Polo travels to China. Now I am wonder if he is really Italian. We had a great meal, sure will come back to give Alex more visits"
